It was further noted that the City needs to look at how it will proceed with street
improvements in the future, as it is anticipated that more petitions will be
received.
Heard a report on the meeting of June 5 with the Met Council regarding the comp
plan comments. The natural resource inventory appears to be a key issue that will
need to be further emphasized.
Heard a report on the Elm Creek Interceptor meeting of June 5. The main
discussions centered on capacity and where that capacity is available. It appears
that the capacity allocated to Corcoran exceeds what was anticipated. However,
during the following meeting with the Met Council it was stated that they would
not have enough capacity for the southwest corner of the city.
It was the consensus of the Council that a meeting of the comp plan working
group be convened to address some of the issues identified by the Met Council.
That meeting was set for July 10 at 7:00 p.m.
Staff reported that Mr. Terry Forbord has requested an extension of his
preliminary plat for the Aeshliman property. This will be on the next agenda for
formal action.
Addressed whether to have a workshop to address the long-range goals on June
27. Consensus was to defer the workshop until July.
MOTION by Thomas, seconded by Bucher to adjourn, 8:10 p.m. Voting Aye:
Bucher, Gageby, Gmach, Guenthner and Thomas. (Motion Carried)
