NAVARRE AREA PLAN—APPROVE SCOPE AND AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT- <br /> Continued <br /> residents that bigger homes are being built on smaller lots,which takes away the housing for the working <br /> class in the area. Barnhart stated that should also be looked at with a fair amount of detail. <br /> Printup stated in his view they might be reinventing the wheel but that this particular process might be the <br /> most thorough and best thought out strategy that he has seen. <br /> Dankey asked if they will also be looking at the intersection near Lunds. <br /> Walsh noted Hennepin County has earmarked$1 million for either 2019 or 2020 to study that <br /> intersection. <br /> Crosby stated the City should look at addressing the trail since it will help bring people in to the <br /> downtown businesses. <br /> Dankey stated parking for the trail should also be looked at. <br /> Barnhart noted this will be done as part of the Comprehensive Plan update and that the items mentioned <br /> by the Council can be incorporated into an overall vision for the area. <br /> Reeder stated the City Council may also want some experts to tell them what some viable uses would be <br /> for the area rather than simply asking the residents what they want to see happen. <br /> Crosby stated in his view it should be a combination approach of what is feasible as well as development <br /> that is acceptable to the residents. Crosby stated he is comfortable with the proposal and that in his view <br /> it is reasonable to get a study done and identify some things the City can do. <br /> Seals commented the study would also be a way to get multiple sources of feedback. <br /> Seals moved,Crosby seconded,to approve the project scope for the Navarre area as drafted and to <br /> authorize the advertisement and review of proposals. <br /> Barnhart noted the recommendations would be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Printup reported some lake cleanup was done around Big Island following the 4�'of July holiday and that <br /> he would like to thank the people who helped.
