Item # 6.3. <br /> <br />City of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Scott Harlicker, Senior Planne~ <br /> <br />September 18, 2000 <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor Update <br /> <br />The Northstar Corridor Development Authority (NCDA) meeting held on <br />September 7th included a summary of the demonstration project, a report on a <br />proposed baseball stadium at the downtown Minneapolis station site and an <br />overview of the Advanced Corridor Plan. The demonstration project was very <br />successful. It was well attended and received a large amount of media coverage. <br />Another proposal that also received media coverage was a proposal to construct <br />a baseball stadium adjacent to the downtown Minneapolis commuter train <br />station. Minneapolis has put together two committees to look at the proposal. The <br />last item discussed was the Advanced Corridor Plan. There seemed to be some <br />confusion about what communities should be looking at and the time line. The <br />plans submitted as part of the Advanced Corridor Plan are only at a 10% <br />completion level. This means that they are just at a concept plan level. However, <br />this is the only opportunity that cities are going to get to comment on the station <br />design and location. Staff, with input from the Planning Commission and the City <br />Council, will put together a comprehensive list of comments and concerns. Cities <br />will have the option of approving the Advanced Corridor Plan without comments, <br />approving the Plan with conditions or disapproving the Plan with amendments <br />needed for to withdraw its disapproval. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
