Community Development Director Gladhill reported the Commission did not have to make a <br />decision on this matter tonight but could provide staff with direction to pursue this matter further. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if there were any plans to develop the property at this time. <br />Mr. Lindmark reported there were no immediate plans and noted this properties development <br />would change if the site had municipal services. <br />Dave Nathey, 14453 Llama Street, explained he owns 174 acres and has lived at this location since <br />1971. He expressed concern that he would be losing his river frontage for a City trail. He <br />explained that these would be the best lots for him if he was to subdivide his property. He stated <br />he was not interested in having a park on his property and noted his neighbors do not have a park <br />or trail running through their property. For this reason, he requested the City not take this land <br />from him. He noted he would be willing to sell the land to the City if the City was interested in <br />pursuing a river crossing. <br />Commissioner Anderson requested further information from staff on the proposed river crossing. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed with the Commission the location of the <br />proposed river crossing. <br />Chairperson Bauer reported the proposed river crossing would run right down the middle of Mr. <br />Nathey's property. <br />Mr. Nathey commented this was the case and noted this would put him out of business as he would <br />no longer be able to farm his land. <br />Chairperson Bauer questioned how Mr. Nathey would like the river crossing to be. <br />Mr. Nathey stated he understood another river crossing was necessary. He noted he would be <br />willing to sell his property. <br />Chairperson Bauer indicated realistically this may not happen before 2040 and stated it would be <br />best to ensure houses were not built along the proposed roadway river crossing alignment. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated there were concepts that would be worked <br />through with Mr. Nathey and the City of Dayton. He commented that the City would not be able <br />to resolve this issue tonight but could continue to work with Mr. Nathey and the Parks Board. <br />Leslie Roering, 7463 161' Avenue, stated she served on the Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee <br />and discussed a potential Rum River crossing. <br />Chairperson Bauer commented this maybe should be considered as a discussion item for the next <br />20 years. He noted the Council's focus at this time was on the Mississippi River crossing and did <br />not want to divert their attention away from this project. <br />Planning Commission/May 3, 2018 <br />Page 7 of 11 <br />
