Comprehensive Plan Page 2 <br /> March 2, 1994 <br /> • 3. TRANSPORTATION <br /> The majority of transportation issues have been outlined in the <br /> preliminary draft of the transportation plan. The Planning <br /> Commission did identify issues relative to projected east/west <br /> roadways as well as the possibility of re-routing Highway 10 and 169. <br /> I have been informed that there are no plans from MnDot to re-route <br /> Highway 10 or 169 in the future. <br /> 4. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/ REDEVELOPMENT <br /> • What involvement should the City have encouraging and assisting <br /> industrial/commercial development in the community? <br /> • Does the City want to actively pursue redevelopment opportunities? <br /> 5. DOWNTOWN AREA <br /> • What is the goal for the downtown commercial area? <br /> • Should the downtown area be expanded to improve its development <br /> opportunities? <br /> • • Should the City adopt development standards for the downtown area <br /> to provide continuity and possibly a "theme?" <br /> • What consideration should be given to utilizing the river front within <br /> the downtown area? <br /> 6. ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> • Should the City start a wetland banking program? <br /> • Are there any special development standards that can be adopted to <br /> protect the river front and other water ways from development <br /> pressures? <br /> • Should the City continue to expand its recycling opportunities to the <br /> residents as well as adopt standards for commercial and industrial <br /> recycling efforts? <br /> • Are preservation of woodland`s, open space, and other natural features <br /> important to protect during the development process? <br /> 7. MAINTENANCE OF STRUCTURES AND INFRASTRUCTURE <br /> • As the older parts of Elk River continue to age, there is a concern to <br /> maintain the integrity of our housing stock. Is a housing maintenance <br /> • code inspection program for all types of residential as well as <br /> commercial industrial a program the City believes is important at this <br /> time? <br />
