EDC Minutes <br /> December 4, 2013 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> businesses. Nearly every new business makes interior improvements that require a building <br /> permit. <br /> Chair von Holtum raised concerns about the amount of traffic around the intersection of <br /> Lexington Avenue and Red Fox Road and how the Lexington Station project now under <br /> construction might exacerbate congestion in the area. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher noted that Ramsey County has recognized the <br /> need to complete a traffic study along this section of the Lexington Avenue corridor to help <br /> identify traffic improvement measures. <br /> It was the consensus of the Commission to accept the 2014 Work Plan as presented. <br /> C. 2014 Newsletter Topics and Assignments <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher recommended that the EDC aim for having <br /> one article in the community newsletter every other month in 2014. <br /> Commissioners discussed topic ideas for the 2014 newsletters. <br /> Commissioner Erickson offered to write an article on Frattalone's hardware store for the <br /> January/February 2014 newsletter. <br /> Commissioner Huninghake volunteered to do an article providing an update on recent <br /> developments in the B-2 District. The article will be submitted for the April 2014 newsletter. <br /> Chair von Holtum suggested that Commissioner Heikkila could do an article on the Round <br /> Lake District public improvements project. The article could be included in the June 2014 <br /> newsletter. <br /> Chair von Holtum offered to write an article for the December 2014 newsletter. The topic <br /> would likely be on the Lexington Station redevelopment project. <br /> D. TCAAP <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher provided an overview of the on-site master <br /> planning workshop held at Land O' Lakes on November 7. She noted that this was a pilot project <br /> designed to determine whether the City could reach a younger and more diverse demographic <br /> with targeted, on-site events. <br /> Chair von Holtum complimented the City on taking this creative approach to doing public <br /> outreach. <br /> Commissioner Erickson inquired if additional on-site workshops were planned. <br />
