EDA Special Meeting Page 2 January 6, 1997 • Terry provided a map indicating the proposed transportation and utility corridor for the eastern area of the city, running south from the intersection of County Road No. 12 and 13 to 171st and crossing Highway 10. Terry explained the logic behind the proposed route, noting criteria such as topography, wetlands, existing roadways, zoning, etc. Terry noted that this transportation corridor ties in with the draft transpiration plan which has been in existence for approximately 5 years. 4. Proposed Industrial Site Opportunities - Steve Ach Steve pointed out the 8 areas identified as potential industrial sites. Staff chose these sites based on the criteria explained by Paul, and noted that all eight sites are within the urban service area. Steve explained that Areas 3, 5, 6 and 7 were identified largely because of their proximity to the proposed transportation/utility corridor. Discussion followed regarding the 8 areas identified by staff for possible industrial development: Area 1 (Wilson property) - Approximately 65 acres located north of County Road 30, between Waco and the Sandpiper Estates 2nd Addition Area 2 (Outlot A, Brentwood) -Approximately 17 acres located west of Highway 169, east of Irving Street and south of 197th Area 3- Approximately 33 acres located east of County Road 13 and north of IIICounty Road 12 Area 4 - (Hohlen property) - Approximately 8 acres located west of Highway 169 south of Main Street Area 5- Approximately 25 acres located east of Highway 169 and south of the existing Elk Terrace Mobile Home Park Area 6 - Approximately 18 acres located east of Highway 169 and north of the 177th Avenue alignment Area 7 -Approximately 85 acres along east Highway 10, south of the 177th Avenue alignment and west of Tyler Street alignment Area 8- 190 acres lying between east Highway 10 and the Mississippi River, located south of the 167th Avenue alignment and north of the Oliver Kelley Farm Steve noted that Area 8 property is currently zoned residential, and has access to Highway 10. This parcel could provide a large contiguous industrial/business park. River frontage could possibly be developed as residential. Discussion followed regarding each of the 8 areas. Commissioner Duitsman felt Areas 1, 6, 7 and 3 would most likely be developed first. Area 8 appeared to fall in the "long range" planning scenario. Commissioner Holmgren was concerned an industrial user in Area 1 would face traffic issues getting through Elk River and 111 felt the best use for that area would be residential.
