PROPOSED FOR THE INTERSTATE/LYNDALE/NICOLLET (ILN) STUDY
AREA ( HRA LETTER ~~6) .
Executive Director Cartwright reviewed HRA Letter No. 6
concerning a position statement on the moratorium proposed
for the Interstate/Lyndale/Nicollet (ILN) study area. A
discussion took place regarding the composition of the Advisory
Committee.
The proposed positian statement was amended to read as follows:
1. The HRA endorses the concept of placing restrictions an the
issuance of building permits to provide an opportunity for
the formulation of a long range plan for the ILN study area.
The plan is necessary to deal with the problems existing in
the area and to allow for the realization~of future
opportunities. Problems presently existing in the area
include undeveloped and underdeveloped parcels which can
only be developed to their optimum with improved access and
traffic patterns. Buildings in the area are aging and
appear to be deteriorating and present a poor visual image.
Loading and unloading areas are poorly located. Parking is
insufficient. Conflicts exist between the residential area
and the commercial area.
2. The HRA is prepared to pursue the implementation of a
comprehensive plan and is prepared to cooperate with the
City Council and Planning Commission in the preparation of
the plan.
3. The HRA endorses the concept of a committee of residents,
business and property owners appointed by the City•Council
from within and without the planning area to work with staff
during the planning period.
4. The HRA will designate a board member to be the official
liaison to the citizensf committee.
The Executive Director is requested to make the position of
the HRA known to the Planning Commission and the City
Council as they discuss the need to formulate a long range
plan for the area.
