Councilmember Kurak requested that that issue be placed on the next Chapter 9 meeting agenda. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmennan stated that the problem with mixed use is that if there is a large <br />demand for multi family, but not much demand for commercial use, then the commercial <br />developlnent will be left behind, but he does not know how to prevent that from happening. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that the original concept of the town center was significantly <br />driven by the concept of commuter rail and now that that looks like less of a possibility. He <br />questioned if the Town Center Task Force was looking at a broader range than what is designated <br />in the Comprehensive Plan, and if so, how are they going to tackle the issue. <br /> <br />Mr. EIvig replied that some of the initial thoughts did revolve around the commuter rail stop, but <br />the City was not designated for a site. He stated that there are a lot of other alternatives, such as <br />the motor coach that currently runs in Elk River. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that obviously the commuter rail can't stop anywhere there is <br />not railroad tracks, but a bus can, so now it seemed as if they had a choice. <br /> <br />Mr. Elvig replied that the Task Force Committee will be looking at all those issues. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen inquired if the Committee will be giving periodic updates to the <br />Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Elvig replied yes. <br /> <br />Councihnember Kurak requested that the Town Center Task Force Committee attend the Chapter <br />9 Committee meeting. <br /> <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman requested that Case A: Request for Final Plat Approval of <br />Dickenson's Mississippi Estates Second Addition, Case of Roger Dickenson, Jr., be added to the <br />agenda. <br /> <br />Motion. by Councihnember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to approve the <br />agenda as amended. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
