<br />Minutes Page 8 02/02/94 . <br />Barb Piotrowski stated the Lexington Avenue Plan is <br />obsolete. She suggested writing a letter to Cub and <br />advertising land in newspapers. <br />Chair Winiecki asked Councilmember Aplikowski why the <br />Economic Deyelopment Committee needs a current listing of <br />the businesses when the City has the Lexington Study to help <br />them. She went further to request the makeup of the <br />committee and offered a Planning Commission member to attend <br />the meetings to assist with background. <br />Councilmember Aplikowski replied a look needs to be taken at <br />all of the businesses in Arden Hills to determine what types <br />of businesses we lack in the community. The committee is <br />made up of nine members and all meetings are open to input <br />from members of the Community. <br />Ms. piotrowski expressed concerns with sharing our future <br />development plans with Shoreyiew considering the <br />relationship of the two cities. <br />Mr. Rye asked if the Economic Deyelopment Committee is <br />contacting the property owners within the Lexington Area and <br />if not, it may be a good idea to inyolve them, . <br />Mr. Fritsinger replied except for Roberts, no other contact <br />with the property owners has been made to date. If staff <br />were directed to undertake additional review of this study, <br />contacts would be made at that time. <br />Mr. Rye stated the need to bring the businesses together. <br />Mr. Fritsinger said the Economic Deyelopment Committee could <br />begin working on so many issues, but the most important is <br />to establish contacts with the local business so the <br />committee can begin to address other projects. When those <br />issues come up the committee will be more directly involved <br />with the businesses. <br />Mr. Rye suggested the committee update local businesses on <br />their procedures and plans. <br />Chair Winiecki stated if the committee is unsure of <br />asserting themselyes, the Planning Commission was willing <br />to help introduce and endorse the Economic Deyelopment <br />Committee as the group to promote Arden Hills business <br />development. <br />Councilmember Aplikowski replied the committee is planning . <br />to include a brief background in the City newsletter about <br />the new committee. <br />
