P.O. BOX 359 PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE Prior Lake Economic Develol~ent Committee ~e~]a Beport 0 Enclosed is a copy of the Minutes from January 15, 1987. Enclosed is a copy of the Proposed Subdivision Ordinance. The Ordinance was drafted by City Planner Horst Graser and has been discussed at the Planning Commission level on several occasions. The City Council has reviewed the first few pages of the doct~ent and has rescheduled a second review at a later date. The Ordinance is presented for our review and discussion. Mr. Graser will be in attendance to present the highlights and major changes to you. The Committee does not have any formal authority over the Subdivision Ordinance procedure so a recommendation is not in order at this time. The Committee does not have the time, nor expertise to perform a oomplete analysis on a document of this nature. My suggestions to you are if you discover or determine a lot of areas you want to discuss or receive more input on, I recommend you contact Graser directly. The intent of the discussion at the meeting is to be updated on the Ordinance and how it may impact on our economic development efforts. As of the preparation of this Agenda Staff is uncertain as to the extent of discussion on the Downtown Redevelopment Project. The discussion may range from a short update to an introduction of and a discussion with members of the develolm~nt team. Several weeks ago Staff planned certain presentations on this Project based on projected times (recall the proposed February 10 P~view Committee Meeting which was cancelled). The reason for the uncertainty at this stage is that all development team material has not been submitted to me. I anticipate receiving the material between Friday, February 13 and Tuesday, February 17. (Monday, February 16 is Washington's Birthday and City Hall will be closed in observance of the Holiday.) Staff will update you on the Health Care Center Project and present additional information. (612) 447-4230 4629 DAKOTA STREET S.E. P.O. BOX 359 PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 The date for the Winter/Spring Workshop has been set for Saturday, April 4. The location I am trying to arrange accommodations with is the Canterbury Inn. The time of the Workshop will most likely range from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A proposed agenda for the Workshop will be passed out and discussed at our meeting. Staff is looking for more direction on what you want for the Workshop agenda. If you have any suggestions please call me prior to Wednesday, February 18. The Committee should begin the discussion of prioritizing the newly adopted Policies. If the Agenda items are running longer than anticipated this item could be tabled. Because this item may take a great amount of discussion you may want to consider this task as part of your Saturday Workshop in April. The act of prioritizing may not have to be a numbering or ranking of the Policies, although this could be your action, rather you may want to brainstom on short term, medium range, or long term priorities and what policies require immediate attention. The City Council passed a Resolution commending your work at the same meeting the Policies were adopted. A copy of the Resolution will be presented to you at the Meeting. Please bring your Policies with you to the Meeting. The most recent date of the Policies should be November 17, 1986. City Staff is working on two promotional pieces, a map and fact booklet. In addition a local photo contest will be held to coincide with Lakefront Days and the decorating of City Hall. Staff will discuss the items and update you on their progress.

At that meeting it was decided to bring this issue up again at our Workshop. Essentially, the discussion will center around what issues and items you want to have on the regular agenda, and what issues and items you may want to "delve" more deeper into by way of a s~ecial meeting.
