Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The Blaine EDA purchased this area (6 separate small parcels) for redevelopment in the early 1990's. The former use was a grain handling facility. Realignment of the service road has been a need in this area but was not possible until the recent redevelopment of the Cemstone concrete plant in 2012 which is now the Kwik-Trip.
The proposed plat combines the small parcels and plats the EDA lot of 2.46 acres with the balance platted as right-of-way for reconnecting the service road from the Kwik-Trip site to the front along Highway 65.
The EDA will now begin to market this site as the service road alignment has now been determined and the road will be completed later this fall. Approval will be needed from the City and Coon Creek Watershed once a specific commercial development plan is submitted for the site.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
