Re: Comprehensive Plan Update, City Council Work Session, July 19, 2004
Date: July 19, 2004
At the City Council Work Session on July 19, 2004, the staff will update the City
Council on the progress of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. As part of this
update, staff is asking the Council for direction in several aspects of the plan.
The following memorandum briefly discusses the items on the Workshop
Agenda.
.
Comprehensive Plan Meeting Feedback: The staff has tabulated
comments we received from each of the Comprehensive Plan meetings in
April, 2004. Included as part of the table are suggested responses. We
are asking the Council to review these comments and responses before
we send these out. Our intention is to post the responses on our website,
and to conduct follow-up meetings with the residents in each of these
areas. The follow-up meetings would provide us with the opportunity to
provide the residents with a more specific draft of the plan, as well as
some more specific information to some of the questions raised at the
eadier meetings.
m
Goals and Objectives: Attached is a draft of the revised goals and
objectives for the Comprehensive Plan. The Council had the opportunity
to review these a few months ago. These are the policies that drive the
plan. We are looking to the Council for direction to ensure we are moving
in the proper direction. We will attempt to summarize these goals and
objectives for discussion on Monday.
1
Medium and High Density Residential: The Council has stated an
interest in splitting out the Low Density and Medium Density Residential
designations. We can provide the Council with some idea of where these
designations should be located. We would like to hear the Council's ideas

about this plan. We would also like to know what densities the Council
feels should be Iow, medium and high.
Downtown Dimensions: There has been quite a bit of discussion about
the growth of the downtown area. We would like to discuss what the
Council feels are appropriate boundaries.
Commercial/Residential Mix in the Orderly Annexation Area: The
vast majodty of the Ordedy Annexation Area will be designated as Low
Density Residential. However, it may make sense to include a small
commercial hub along Highway 13, in addition to the existing Industrial
area. We would like to discuss this with the Council.
Monnen's Property: This property is located along Highway 13, directly
west of the Triangle Car Wash and east of Pheasant Meadow. As part of
the CSAH 12 project, the existing commercial buildings will most likely be
purchased for the road realignment and storm water ponding. In addition,
MN DOT has provided the City with a substantial grant to eliminate access
from TH 13. In light of this, does it make sense to maintain this 10 acre
area as commercial, when access will be through residential areas?
Comprehensive Plan Schedule: The attached schedule identifies the
progress on the consultant reports. Most of these reports are on
schedule. The most significant set back is a result of the staff being
unable to provide the consultant with necessary information. We will also
provide a proposed hearing schedule.
Follow-Up Meetings: We would like the Council's direction about the
format and the information we should provide at future public meetings.

(1)New developments should not isolate existing single family
dwellings by inhibiting pedestrian and/or vehicular access.
(2) New development completely surrounded by single family
dwellings, should be discouraged in favor of large scale planned unit
developments which are more conducive to a mix of housing styles
with shared amenities.
(3) There should be convenient access to collector and arterial streets
and to available transit ~o to not unduly contribute to congestion on
local residential streets.
(4)Large common open areas may provide an effective transitional use
to other uses.
(5)Location near permanent public and private open spaces may
compensate for the impact of the higher density.
Create and enhance neighborhoods that provide parks and open spaces,
public access to natural amenities located on and adjacent to the site, and
