<br />REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION/CITY COUNCil ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 10-09-96 <br />ITEM NO.: 2867 <br /> <br />Planner: <br /> <br />Manager Received: <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br /> <br />j)fL0M <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />6(b) <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the location of the <br />proposed Twin lakes Parkway within a portion of the Twin <br />lakes Business Park, lying between Fairview Avenue, <br />Cleveland Avenue, County Road C, and County Road C-2 <br />allowing for future alignment with the 35W ramp at Cleveland <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />. The City completed the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Plan in the mid 1980's to <br />guide future development in the area generally bounded by Cleveland Avenue, <br />Snelling Avenue, County Road C-2, and County Road C. <br /> <br />. The plan provides the framework for a well planned development which provides <br />a good return to property owners when they determine it is time to sell. The plan <br />attempts to minimize adverse impacts on the community and nearby residential <br />areas. <br /> <br />. The plan calls for the construction of additional roads within the area to enhance <br />property value and future development potential. <br /> <br />. The plan provides for the construction of a new east/west road to be known as <br />Twin Lakes Parkway, between Snelling Avenue on the east and Highway 35W <br />on the west. <br /> <br />. Because the original plan is over eight years old, the City contracted with the <br />consultant firm, BRW, to review the plan and prepare recommendations <br />concerning the location and design of Twin Lakes Parkway. <br /> <br />. In September, 1996, BRW produced a report (attached) recommending a revised <br />alignment of Twin Lakes Parkway and associated utilities, between Fairview and <br />Cleveland Avenue to line up with the existing 35W ramp. BRW's report <br />recommends vacating duplicate roads such as lona Lane. The actual design of <br />the right-of-way, road widths, and pathways would also be revised. <br /> <br />1 <br />
