One of these <br />issues relates to a resident's claim that the City's Comprehensive Plan for the Twin Lakes <br />Redevelopment Area allows only the parcel-by-parcel use designations reflected in "Scenario <br />1" contained in the 2001 AUAR document. This letter addresses that claim and summarizes <br />the advice we have provided to staff. <br />In June 2001, the City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing <br />the land use plan designation of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area from "Business" and <br />"Industrial" to "Business Park". The minutes of the June 26, 2001 City Council meeting <br />indicate that the new Comprehensive Plan designation was: <br />...as described in the Twin Lakes Master Plan dated June 26, 2001 and as <br />amended by the Council with the Scenario # 1.. . <br />A resident has suggested that the above City Council meeting minutes support his <br />conclusion that the City's Comprehensive Plan allows only the specific development plan and <br />parcel-by-parcel use designation delineated in the 2001 AUAR Scenario 1 map. We disagree <br />for a number of reasons. <br />730 Second Avenue South, Suite 300, Minneapolis, MN 55402 p (612) 339-0060 f (612) 339-0038 www.ratwiklaw.com <br />Paul C. Ratwik <br />John M.
