After a discussion of what these types of development include, Commissioner Montague asked if some additional information was available about non-traditional residential developments. Mr. · Gromberg said that he would find some additional information to be included in the next agenda packet. The EDC also discussed how the information will be provided to the City Council. It was agreed by the Commission to provide a map showing the entire Highway #I0 corridor and what changes are being proposed. This would also include a general idea of what the EDC believes should be included in areas such as the 'non-conventional residential zones and multiple use areas. This map would also include the current zoning and how the ratio of land uses would be affected. Commissioner Scheiber suggested that the Commission review the next section of HighWay #10 at the May meeting. The EDC members agreed and decided to set the boundaries at Ramsey Boulevard N.W. and Armstrong Boulevard N.W. STAFF UPDATES Building Projects: Mr. Gromberg informed the EDC that the City had received reservations for the entire area to the south of McKinley Street for the construction of four buildings. Two of the buildings will be constructed by AMCON as one spec. building of 48,000 square feet and one for Precision Woodworking at about 45,000 square feet. The third building will be constructed by Jul/an M. Johnson and will be 48,000 square feet. The fourth building is for Minnesota Tool and Die Work~ and will be 20,000 square feet. They will be conducting a ground breaking in June. The other buildings will be receiving approwal by the City in May. Business Breakfast: Mr. Gromberg has met with Shelly Anderson of Anoka Electric Cooperative and they have tentatively scheduled their building dedication for May 22, 1997. Since this event would be a positive to kick off the breakfast schedule, it will be used for this purpose. The event will be from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at the facility. It will include a breakfast, building dedication, and tour. The next breakfast would occur at about the same time as the Business Appreciation Day in August, which means the breakfast following that one would be during mid-November. Building Walk-throughs: The Heritage Millwork Company should be moving in within the next three to four weeks. I will be scheduling the event and most future events for Wednesdays at about 5:30 p.m. to allow for some pre-planning for both the Commissioners and City Councilrnembers. Commissioner Appreciation: Mr. Gromberg also reminded the Commissioners to get their information back to the City on whether they intended to attend this event as the deadline is one week from Friday.
