Item II, General Discussion on Shakopee Racetrack impact. City Planner Graser commented on the subject per memorandum dated 4- 18 -84. The Planning Commissioners had several concerns espcially making changes too soon. Motion by Larson that the construction of the horse race track in Shakopee may have the effect of some residential and /or commercial growth in the City of Prior Lake. However, such growth must be controlled and limited by the Comprehensive and Capitol Improvement Plans already in effect. Particularly with respect to development along County Road 42. We must endeavor to ensure that the growth in Prior Lake is positive and enhances the quality of life in Prior Lake. Probably no significant changes to the current zoning ordinance are immediately necessary. We suggest that data regarding the impact of race tracks on other cities on the periphery of the race track sites be evaluated by the City of Prior Lake if such data exists. Further, this situation re- garding growth and development resulting from the promitiy of the track again points out the importance of the Planing Commission engaging in timely, (812) 447.4230 4629 DAKOTA STREET S.E.

Doebel, 15365 Breezy Point Road, commented that the lots are too small and no garage for parking could be a real problem.
