Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 21, 2012 Page 11 At this time, the previous BP definition was displayed and reviewed. Mr. Lloyd noted that a lot of the description of the BP designation was similar in nature to that description for future land use scenarios contemplated in the Twin Lakes Master Plan developed in approximately 2001, and was intended for the more comprehensive development of the entire area rather than the piece-meal development approach that was today's reality. At the request of Councilmember Pust and whether the 2001 Twin Lakes Mas- ter Plan was still referenced today, Mr. Lloyd responded that it was referenced by the updated Comprehensive Plan,but not formally a part of the Plan as an of- ficial control, but simply referenced as a guiding document or reference to the initial vision and community discussions for the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. At the request of Mayor Roe as to whether the BP language was similar to the CMU, Mr. Lloyd responded that in essence it was; however, the updated Com- prehensive Plan instructed review of proposed developments in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area against the new Zoning Code, Comprehensive Plan up- date, Twin Lakes Master Plan, and AUAR and those directives. Applicant's Representative, Sue Steinwall, Land Use Attorney for Wal- Mart in MN,with the firm of Frederickson,Byron, et al At the invitation of Mayor Roe, Ms. Steinwall advised that she concurred with staff's report and had no additional comments at this time. At this time, Mayor Roe opened the meeting to public comments specific to the Citizens' Petition for an EAW; and reviewed the City Council's rules related to public comment specific to this issue, not to the Plat at this time. Mayor Roe asked that the speakers and the audience be respectful and refrain from com- mentary and/or applause, and that those speakers would limit comments to five (5) minutes each, with some flexibility provided for speakers representing a group. Mayor Roe asked that all questions be addressed directly to the City Council, and noted that subsequent to hearing all public comments on this issue, the City Council would respond or direct City staff or legal counsel to respond to questions raised by the public as applicable. Public Comments (7:23 p.m.) In addition to the written and verbal comments previously expressed to the Planning Commission and received by staff(included in meeting materials), ad- ditional written comments to-date were provided as bench handouts, attached hereto and made a part hereof *Amy Ihlan, 1776 Stanbridge Avenue Sue Gilbertson, 2000 Cleveland Avenue N Joyce Thielen, 2210 Midland Grove Road, Unit 203
