City Council Minutes Page 10 <br />May 15, 2017 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> Council suggested the following: <br /> <br /> Make sure setbacks are maintained as development increases because we don't <br />know what future public improvements will be needed. <br /> Pedestrian connection/bike trail. Tie-in with City of Ramsey. <br /> Zoning and land use ties in with the Focused Area Study. <br /> Concerns for the corridor to become a storage area. <br /> Consider as a first impression into the city. <br /> Careful of uses bordering the highway. <br /> More retail and food establishments to accommodate Youth Athletic Complex <br />customers. <br /> Residential homes along the river. <br /> Look at City of Baxter for examples of layout/setbacks from the main road. <br />Business park type look. <br /> Certain industrial businesses may want or need highway visibility. Construct <br />language so outdoor storage areas can be hidden in back areas. <br /> Opportunities for clean-up of existing businesses. <br /> Proactive code enforcement for aesthetic type issues along the corridor. <br /> Opportunities for frontage roads for safer transportation to local businesses. <br /> <br />Attorney Beck stated the proposed road located on the map (Future Gateway Road <br />th <br />connecting to 165 Avenue) is on Cargill property.
