Steering Committee Minutes <br />April20, 1995 <br />Page 9 <br />Chair Minton stated that it appears the Committee needs to identify another <br />area for industrial use. Pat Dwyer suggested that the Rail 10 Industrial Park could <br />be extended south from 173rd to 171st. <br />Marly Glines suggested the City consider trading city property for the <br />approximately 40 acre parcel owned by Cargill located behind Ebner's Bait and <br />Houle's. <br />Chair Minton asked that staff prepare additional recommendations or <br />alternatives for industrial development. <br />Discussion followed regarding possibilities for industrial property on east Highway <br />10. Dick Hinkle suggested that water and sewer be extended to 165th. He noted <br />that Mn/DOT is considering placing a semaphore at the Highway 10/165th <br />Avenue intersection. He stated that industry can occur with private septic <br />systems but that water is needed for fire protection. This could be accomplished <br />by adding an additional water tower. He stated that he felt the industry should <br />pay for the improvements and not Cargill or anyone else in the way of it. He felt <br />there are areas along Jarvis that may be possibilities. <br />Pat felt that industry should begin more toward the City. Dick stated that it will be <br />a long time before sewer and water is extended there. He suggested an <br />industrial park could be done like the one in Princeton, with its own water tower. <br />Hank stated that a forcemain down Highway 10 would be less than a septic <br />system. <br />Chris Kreger suggested that Steve Ach prepare maps showing some of the ideas <br />presented to discuss at the next meeting. <br />General discussion followed regarding the importance of setting aside industrial <br />property, and projected growth of Elk River. <br />Tentative Schedule of Upcoming Meetings <br />Schedule was reviewed. <br />8.
