EDC Minutes <br />December 4, 2013 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />businesses. Nearly every new business makes interior improvements that require a building <br />permit. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commission to accept the 2014 Work Plan as presented. <br /> <br /> <br />C. 2014 Newsletter Topics and Assignments <br /> <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 /> <br />Commissioners discussed topic ideas for the 2014 newsletters. <br /> <br />Commissioner Erickson offered to write an article on Frattalone’s hardware store for the <br />January/February 2014 newsletter. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br /> <br />D. TCAAP <br /> <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 /> <br />Chair von Holtum complimented the City on taking this creative approach to doing public <br />outreach. <br /> <br />Commissioner Erickson inquired if additional on-site workshops were planned.
