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 /> <br />ECONOMaCDEVELOPMENT/REDEVELOPMENT <br /> <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 /> <br />DOWNTOWN AREA <br /> <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 /> <br />6. ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> <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 wooci+andS, open space, and other natural features <br />important to protect during the development process? <br /> <br />7. l\1AINTENANCE OF STRUCTURES AND INFRASTRUCTURE <br /> <br />. <br /> <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 />
