Member Letourneau inquired about whether or not the subject area seemed like a good <br />redevelopment opportunity for an incoming developer. <br /> <br />Administrator Norman stated that the presence of dense housing would be an asset for an <br />incoming developer and it would then be more of a possibility for redevelopment. <br /> <br />Member Gromberg stated that it would be important to increase the study of all the viable nodes <br />defined in the study to be sure that all businesses were being given an equal access to <br />information that could help them in the future. <br /> <br />Administrator Norman mentioned that the node on Highway 10 should not be considered <br />because of the possibility of Highway 10 moving north and displacing the businesses. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked what good the study would do for the identified nodes. <br /> <br />Member Gromberg said that it could let businesses know what types of businesses would be <br />successful and what types would face major challenges. The study could also identify <br />infrastructure needs for the areas that could greatly influence the viability of businesses. <br /> <br />Member Keifer stated it was better to be proactive versus reactive when dealing with businesses <br />and redevelopment areas. <br /> <br />Motion by Member Gromberg, seconded by Vice Chairperson Keifer, direct Staff to obtain a <br />proposal from McComb Group to do an addendum to the Town Center Market Analysis Study to <br />include Ramsey Center and Ramsey Convenience retail nodes. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
