Discussion of CSAH ii east of Bergquist Drive: <br /> Bike/Snowmobile Trail: It is necessary to have a trail system east to Breezy <br /> Point. <br /> Driving Lanes: That area of CSAH ii functions as a road, not as a street. The <br /> lanes should be kept narrow and the width should be consistent with the <br /> remainder of CSAH it going west. <br /> Sidewalks/Crosswalks: Sidewalks are a maintenance issue. It is not necessary to <br /> run sidewalks all the way to the new highway. Sidewalks should end at Bergquist <br /> Drive or go just beyond in front of Ideal Systems. On the south side of CSAH ii, <br /> the sidewalk should end at Gravdahl Drive at the Scandia garages. <br /> Parking: There is no need for parallel parking now,but we need to plan for space <br /> to add it as the area is developed. Parallel parking on the north side should <br /> extend east to Bergquist Drive. <br /> Lighting: There should be pedestrian scaled lighting to the interchange. <br /> Median: There should be no medians. <br /> Curb/Gutter: This is a huge expense; they should be included with the sidewalks <br /> east to Bergquist Drive. <br /> It was noted that bike/pedestrian/snowmobile traffic needs to be included <br /> getting from one side of the new alignment to the other. We need to get trail <br /> traffic into town. It was suggested to check with the City of Ely as they have a <br /> trail system in town and they have a huge snowmobile business. <br /> The Memo will be finalized and sent to Mike Loven, Public Work Supervisor, for <br /> his comments and will be brought back to the Planning Commission for review. <br /> It will then be sent to the City Council. <br /> Discussion will also take place regarding the other two gateways. <br /> Chair Seils opened the Public Hearings: <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS: <br /> APPLICANT: Minnesota Heritage House, E1derCare of MN <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for an Assisted Living <br /> Facility <br /> Mr. Burshe explained the Staff Report.
