The Commission determined, after discussing the <br />changes that are occurring in the area, that it would be beneficial to study a lager area than <br />just the individual 6 acre parcel. <br /> <br />The Commission did not want to look at this area in a piecemeal fashion. Rather, they felt <br />the City should initiate a comprehensive analysis of the whole area. The area is about 80 <br />acres and affects 8 property owners. The changes that the Commission felt warranted a <br />comprehensive study of the area included the reconstruction of 175t~ Avenue and the <br />possible extension of utilities down 175~, the Northstar Corridor commuter rail <br />station/MnDOT park and ride facility, and the proposed Elk River Station project. <br /> <br /> <br />
