Electronic Reader Boards <br /> <br />Growth in Elk River <br /> <br />At the Planning Commission annual meeting, a general topic of "Growth in <br />Elk River" was selected for the joint meeting with the City Council. The <br />Commission was specifically interested in east Elk River and the issues <br />associated with expanding sewer and water and opening areas up to <br />development. <br /> <br />It would be appropriate for the Planning Commission and City Council to <br />discuss any specific ideas or vision they may have and would like to see <br />implemented in east Elk River. I know the developer (Contractor Property <br />Developers Company) of the Waddy Schulz property will be presenting a <br />development plan with a variety of housing options. Some of the options may <br />include narrower detached single family lots. As discussed in the attached <br />articles, there are new residential development trends emerging. Ironically, <br />some of the subdivision concepts have come full circle moving away from <br />sprawling subdivisions to a traditional growth patter similar to the Elk River <br />core village. These concepts will most likely be reintroduced in Elk River in <br />the coming years. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490. Elk River, MN 55330. TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420.
