Land uses all carry different transportation and infrastructure <br /> requirements and assumptions. Once the Planning Commission and the Council have stated their <br /> preferred land use pattern,the analysis will continue based on these requirements. <br /> To date,the planning team has met with various stakeholder groups (gravel miners,property owners, <br /> ERMU,MnDOT, County Public Works, and Parks and Recreation) and have encouraged discussion <br /> online. From these meetings and comments received, three land use alternatives were developed. The <br /> land use plans reflect the transportation changes approved as part of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Next steps <br /> With direction,the planning team will develop an infrastructure and transportation plan. This is expected <br /> sometime in February. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Three land use alternatives <br /> P a w E A E U a r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
