Mayor Gamec asked why this does not include the golf course area. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman replied the area currently being discussed for development is west of <br />Town Center, probably to the border. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook questioned how individual developing properties would be held to a <br />master development. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman noted the Town Center plan today is similar to the master planning <br />for that area. Staff believes there is not enough detail in the land use plan for the area west of <br />Town Center with details like transportation corridors, parks and trial systems. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson advised he thinks this is something that is needed or <br />developers will be coming forward without that detail in the plan. He suggested this could be <br />viewed as a Town Center Phase 2. He suggested it may be beneficial to have citizens involved <br />with this planning, as they were with the Town Center Task Force, which is still in place. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated there are several things on the move and this is something that needs to be <br />moved on. He would like to see this completed within 60 to 90 days. He suggested the Town <br />Center Task Force be utilized for this planning as well, as the task force has been working with <br />this area and is currently in place. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman indicated although the complete process may take longer, a <br />preliminary report could likely be completed in a 60-day period. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was that the Town Center Task Force should also work on this <br />master planning of the area surrounding the Town Center Area. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to contract with Mike <br />Gair of MFRA as the land use planning consultant, Jack Buxell of Buxell Architects as the <br />residential architect, and Kathy L. Anderson of Architectural Consortium as the commercial <br />architect consultant, to initiate a master planning of the area surrounding the Town Center Area. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmember~ Cook, Olson, Jeffrey, and <br />Strommen. Voting No: None. Abstain: Councilmembers Elvig and Pearson. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Mayor Gamec noted staff should also look at the area to the north more <br />proactively. <br /> <br />Case #10: Receive Feasibility Studies and Set Date for Public Hearing on Ramsey Town <br /> Center Improvements <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson indicated the main purpose for this case is to provide the <br />Council with information regarding the feasibility studies for the Ramsey Town Center <br />Improvements. <br /> <br />P38 <br /> <br />City Council/January 25, 2005 <br /> Page 22 of 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
