<br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br />April 23, 2024 <br />--------- <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />Chair Beise then allowed members of the audience to ask questions and state concerns. <br /> <br />Justin Trevorrow - 19587 Concord Street, entered an email on the the record and summarized it to <br />the commission. Concerns with traffic, does it align with the comprehensive plan, felt low-income <br />housing had dysfunctional families/children, and doesn't want to start a precedence for other low- <br />income housing projects in Elk River. <br /> <br />Bruce Smith - 18965 Carson Circle - felt it didn't make sense to add that many residents to such a <br />small area, and felt it would increase crime and accidents. He began an online petition opposing the <br />project and asked the Planning Commission to deny it. <br /> <br />Ken Lueck - 11388 198th Ave. NW - distributed a list of concerns which was entered into the <br />record. <br /> <br />Gretchen Lauken - 11366 196th Ave. NW - stated she has contacted police regarding Harley <br />overflow parking and how dangerous it makes the streets, and felt this project would increase those <br />parking hazards. She is a relator and provided housing stats for the current number of homes for sale. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Planning Commission was that they weren't opposed to low-income housing but <br />didn't feel the proposed location was a good fit to support this project. <br /> <br />9. MOTION TO ADJOURN <br /> Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to adjourn the <br />worksession. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 07:57 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Jennifer Green. <br /> <br /> <br /> ___________________ <br />Perry Beise, Chair <br /> ___________________ <br />Tina Allard, City Clerk <br />
