Member Willenbring wondered why adjacent parking lots for businesses couldn’t be connected so that you could drive directly from one to the other instead of going out one exit and driving all the way around to the next. Member Vanderwall suggested reactivating the Pathway Committee. Member Neprash suggested adding a student representative to the committee. (All comments were fully noted by Mr. Schwartz and Ms. Bloom and consolidated into one report for referral to Administration.) 6.Twin Lakes AUAR Update Discussion and Feedback Member Neprash asked what was needed from the commission at this point. Ms. Bloom said any comments they had would be forwarded to the City Council. Member Neprash said he didn’t see any reference to large scale retail in the report. Ms. Bloom pointed out the page where it was listed. The meaning of the term “complimentary retail” was discussed. Mr. Schwartz said that they should be referring comments rather than questions to the Council. Member Neprash said the report was ambiguous regarding the MPDS SDS general permit; it’s not clear what permit they’re referring to. Member Neprash said the report focuses on traffic impacts at intersections, but the volume increase on roads should also be addressed. Member Neprash said that one of the nice things stated in the AUAR is that the city is able to accomplish a much greater water quality improvement. Member Neprash said the report shows traffic doubling on Fairview, but the noise level is predicted to increase by only 1 decibel, and he’s questioning that. Ms. Bloom read back the comments that had been voiced. All commission members agreed with the comments so they will be forwarded to the City Council. 7.Agenda for next meeting – September 25, 2007 Pathway Master Plan Continued items from several previous meetings 8.
