Steering Committee Minutes Page 7 A> <br /> September 22, 1994 <br /> 4, <br /> • Steve Ach stated that the City is increasingly receiving inquiries for industrial <br /> development opportunities on property serviced by city water and sewer. <br /> Arne Engstrom expressed his concern that the industrial property in Elk River will <br /> soon be taken up and is in favor of setting aside property now that can be <br /> serviced by sewer and water. <br /> Mike Gertz, Riverview Heights, expressed his concern that the transportation plan <br /> shows a major arterial road cutting through the park trail system. <br /> Hank Duitsman stated that the Building and Zoning Administrator, Steve Rohlf, has <br /> several options planned for the arterial road in question. <br /> Dave Anderson stated that a high quality park system is developing, with the Golf <br /> Course, Woodland Trails and the recently acquired Shiely property. He stressed <br /> that the City Council look at all the options before making a decision on the <br /> arterial road placement. <br /> Mike Dejarlais, Rush Circle, stated that the Department of Natural Resources is <br /> interested in the gun club property as a scientific nature study area. He stated <br /> that he did not want to force the gun club out, but that if the DNR were to <br /> acquire the property in the future, it could be tied in with the park system. He <br /> stated that he felt it would be a great mistake to cut a road through this park <br /> system. Mr. Dejarlais provided an alternative plan for a major east-west arterial <br /> road and also for a collector road in the western part of the City. <br /> • Discussion followed regarding options for the road, such as placing a bridge over <br /> the park or a tunnel-type underpass for the trail. <br /> It was the consensus of the Steering Committee to include Mr. Dejarlais' proposal <br /> in their deliberations regarding the transportation plan. <br /> 7.
