<br />EP:ST ELfC S'i~~T~Pi GR~'Ew~kY <br />- - This district responds to the <br />`preferred location of the <br />:future interchange along <br />Highway ~oJ~69 and suggests <br />a large area of highway <br />- commercial land use (~8 <br />acres) on the northern side of the <br />interchange and transitioning to office <br />and industrial uses moving east. The city <br />must balance the level of near-term <br />infrastructure investments needed for <br />development with holding land for future <br />development when the interchange <br />comes. <br />This district will ultimately become the <br />gateway to the commuter rail station and <br />East Elk River. The following are near <br />term and long term strategies for the East <br />Elk River Gateway District centered on the <br />future interchange timing. <br />Portions of this district could develop <br />earlier with light industrial uses along <br />the eastern boundary, and more office <br />J office industrial uses focused around <br />the primary intersection of Twin Lakes <br />Parkway and the future road to the <br />interchange. Because of the visibility <br />into the site from Highway ~oJ~6g office <br />uses could be viable in the near term and <br />would set the foundation for the eco- <br />energy park concept. <br />,~ ~ ~ ~ `~ ~ _ ~ ~ r±~l <br />~, ~ r~ ; . ~ ~~, ., <br />r <br />,~ ;, ;. <br />~, ~_L <br />_. <br />,~ _ ~ , <br />s ~ <br />~., / ~ ~- <br />~ - ~, <br />~~ ~ ~~ - <br />~,~ ~ .~ ~ •~~~~ L_ ~.__ - -- - <br />~ o '~~~~ ,:~ _ ~ f ~ f- --- - ~~~ ~ --~ , - - - <br />~""~ ,~'~ , ~ ~ I <br />YtF 7 Ctt }; L <br />t i <br />~: , .. <br />5 7_y _._--"~ <br />-- ~ r~ `S? <br />-- ~ , <br />f <br />f f -~.: <br />r,.> _, <br />rv ,~=~; -~--= <br />'O ~~, boundary ~ <br />~.
