City staff and elected officials attended a Quad Chamber networking event held at <br /> Kelly's on September 27'. <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br /> Comp Plan <br /> Our consultant and I have been through all comments from Met Council and others <br /> developing an approach to addressing them. We will be bringing a few issues back to the <br /> planning commission on November 13th for additional discussion, especially related to <br /> our medium density designations. <br /> Peltier I,Mate <br /> Ruffridge Johnson <br /> Staff has reached out to Ruffridge Johnson ownership about the possibility of an open <br /> house or ribbon cutting. They plan to do something, but have not yet set a date. <br /> Waterworks Site/DeFoe Property <br /> A grading permit has been issued and work has begun on the site. Work on utility and <br /> street installation may not begin until a final plat is submitted, approved and eventually <br /> recorded. The developer is reporting that they have already sold several lots. <br /> Old Mill Estates <br /> Construction plans have been submitted for review. The City Attorney is working <br /> through the developer's agreement and answering questions from the developer. We <br /> anticipate a final plat submittal soon. The developer is on the Rice Creek Watershed <br /> District's agenda for 10/24. Construction of the northern cul-de-sac may begin this fall if <br /> a final plat can be approved on that same date by the City Council. <br /> Block 7 Property <br /> The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a concept plan for 21 townhomes on the <br /> City's vacant land, downtown. The developer also presented an option which yielded 30 <br /> townhomes if the two homes on the west side of that block were acquired. Discussion <br /> revolved around the style of the townhomes, especially the facade facing Centerville <br /> Road. In general, the P&Z Commission looked favorably on the development, wanting <br /> to have a better understanding of what the units would look like from Centerville Road. <br /> Administrator Statz has also been in contact with the city's realtor, Mike Brass, regarding <br /> others interested in the site. <br /> 31 <br />
