CALL TO ORDER <br />The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. <br />2. COMMITTEE BFUSINESS <br />2.1 Review Feedback from October 26 Public Workshop <br />Mr. Gladhill stated a Comprehensive Plan public workshop was held on October 26, 2017, for the <br />purposes of obtaining public feedback and comment on the community profile and land use plan. <br />He added there was a great turn -out, with 66 participants, and helpful feedback was received by <br />City Staff. He asked the Committee members for their comments and feedback. <br />Mr. Bauer stated there was some discussion about Highway 47, and how much, if any, control the <br />City of Ramsey has over that Corridor. He added the Railroad crossing in Anoka needs to be <br />addressed and discussions with the City of Anoka are crucial. He noted residents' questions and <br />comments about City parks were well -addressed by City Staff. One comment that was received <br />was a lack of support for multiple smaller parks, as opposed to a few large open areas. <br />Mr. Bauer stated the most common concern was the railroad crossing and how something needs <br />to be done there. <br />Mr. Gladhill agreed, adding there has been an emphasis on developing larger parks rather than <br />small neighborhood parks. <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee / November 13, 2017 <br />Page 1 of 10 <br />
