PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - October 17, 1974
The meeting of the Prior Lake Planning Commission was called to order at 7:36 P.M. by
Acting Chairman Tercero. Members present were Tercero, Jobst, Thorkelson & Councilman
Watkins. Also present were Administrator McGuire, Councilman Williams & Administrative
Assistant Sullivan. Members absent were Bissonett, Stack & Routs.
First item on the agenda was Charles Tooker, City Planner, to discuss his preliminary plan
for the Downtown Redevelopment District with the Downtown Merchants & Planning Commissioners,
to get their input. Mr. Tooker made it clear that no way was this a final plan, it was
just a concept. The main idea is to loop the business district by extending Third Street,
crossing Main to Pleasant St., extending Pleasant out to Highway 13, to form a six block
business district. The second idea that Mr. Tooker presented was a four block business
district. The third idea was a one block business district, with a large mall.
The main concern of the merchants present was the parking problem. How to obtain the
parking lots and how to pay for them. All the merchants present were in favor of a more
pedestrian orientated downtown. Another main concern was what could be done about the
railroad to improve its appearance and if it would have to stay where it is now, forever.
Mr. Watkins suggested that we could petition to have it removed from downtown. Commissioner
Tercero commented that the railroad said that if the City improved itself, the railroad
would, also. Mr. Emmett Knox commented that we should probably look at this redevelopment
in three different phases. 1. The four block concept. 2. The six block concept.
3. The one block effect with a large mall. Mr. Tooker will return again in approximately
four weeks with a revised plan.
Motion was made by Jobst to approve the minutes of the previous meeting, October 3, 1974,
as submitted, seconded by Thorkelson and upon a vote taken, it was duly passed.
The second item on the agenda was Mr. Don Woodward, appearing before the Planning Commission
to hear the Planning Commission's final decision on Scottland, Inc's proposed rezoning
of the Intersection of Hwy. 13 & 1st Ave, that which is not zoned B-2. Mr. Watkins asked
if it was the Commissioners intention to rezone this area. Mr. Thorkelson answered: It
is their intention to rezone this property but this would require amending the ordinance.
Mr. Thorkelson made the motion to change B-1 Neighborhood Business to B-1 Limited Business,
to include the following permitted uses: 1. Personal & Professional Services 2. Funeral
Homes 3. Clinics 4. Office and Banks Also, to put Retail Business under Conditional Use
Permits, item 2, seconded by Jobst and upon a vote taken, it was duly passed.

of Highway 13 & 1st Ave, that which is not zoned B-2, to be zoned B-1 Limited Business as
