Mayor David Grant <br /> June 29, 2015 <br /> Page 3 <br /> terms of landscape architecture. The project can help fund these amenities if it meets <br /> certain goals and metrics for overall density and other land-use goals. <br /> We have heard some in the community suggest that alignment between the city's and <br /> county's goals and housing densities is not important at this time because a developer is <br /> going to come in and alter the plans in the future. We submit that alignment is <br /> important because the Master Plan is more of a reflection of the vision of the two public <br /> partners than it is about number of housing units or lines on a map. Disagreement now <br /> means developers will either be confused about our goals and be less interested in the <br /> site or, worse, lose a chance for an important employer to locate here. <br /> We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Master Plan and TRC. The <br /> partnership we have with Arden Hills is essential in moving this redevelopment forward. <br /> This site represents the only opportunity for this scale of redevelopment in the Metro <br /> area. We want to make sure we get this right. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jim McDonough, Chair <br /> Commissioner <br />
