Councilmember Menth asked if the Bowers Drive connection would occur through this design <br /> proposal or whether it would connect across Armstrong. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that currently the plan includes an oversized road <br /> connection with breakaway barriers for Public Safety, but Public Safety would like that to be a <br /> full road connection at that point. He stated that conceptually it is not difficult to add that road at <br /> this step in the plan and noted that is the purpose of tonight's discussion. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented that she would support the full road connection. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that the residents are all in favor of having the access to Highway 10 <br /> changed and would support the connection to Riverdale Drive. <br /> Acting Mayor Riley confirmed the consensus of the Council to provide direction for a full road <br /> connection. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed the Riverdale Drive extension element and <br /> potential cost-share elements. He noted that the City could attempt to compete for MnDOT <br /> funds. He noted that staff could bring forward the discussion to the Public Works Committee. <br /> Councilmember Specht stated that because the roadway is part of the Highway 10 plan, he would <br /> support the City having a higher share of the cost. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill confirmed that staff would prioritize Riverdale over Puma <br /> Street and that is why the third/third/third cost-share scenario was proposed on Puma Street. <br /> 2.03: Discuss Policy Direction on Outlot C, Northfork Development Proposal; Case of BK <br /> Land Development <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill provided a broad overview of the purpose of the discussion <br /> tonight. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl reviewed the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich asked if a gate or fence would be around the entire development. <br /> Luke Konewko, BK Land Development, commented that would go along Alpine as a form of a <br /> buffer. He stated that they would be open to suggestions from the City and noted that the fence <br /> could also be berming or landscaping. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill asked for input on the appropriate/desired mix between the <br /> housing products. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that he supported this plan when it was previously presented, <br /> primarily because the demand for the smaller product is high and those homes sell quickly. He <br /> stated that he continues to support the plan as presented. <br /> City Council Work Session/February 11,2020 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br />
