~rpose of meeting
To re-examine comprehensive plan of city relating to east end annexation area.
Street and throughfare placement examined.
Dick Fredlund, Planner: Suggested encouragement of development in Zone 1. Dis-
couragement in Zone 2. Chase St. probably designated 80 ft collector street.
80 ft width standard but based on 4 lanes of traffic - bicycle paths question
posed. Park land dedication question also explored - 5% of area for parks I
considered equitable - dedication dependent upon density - funds in l;œu
of park land no longer restricted in use. 30 ft residential street considered
acceptable. Designate apartment building areas in plan. Smaller units
2 or 4 plex OK in general resident area.
Mul ti-uni ts in park area 1) in heavy traffic areas
2) not as desirable for single family
Federal regulations dictate non-discriminatoryplanning for apartments.
Total sß~aration of units or areas has created other problems.
Cadwell St. probably more desirable as cross street to Rassier Road. 4 units
per quarter section to slow development. Con.i~eration for future water
facilities necessary. Policy development should be initial action. Policy
easier to generate - greater importance than map. Planner to develop some
policy plans for consideration by City. Policy plan to apply to all devel-
oping areas - policies must be in agreement between city and township.
Metro Coqncil development guide-purchase at Metro Square Building. Planner
to secure copy for city. Policy plans to be developed by Planner Fredlunq.
