Beth Knoblauch, City Planner, presented this item. As part of its ongoing rede-
velopment efforts in the North Wirth Redevelopment District, the City's HRA is
applying for the resubdivision of certain property in the East Area of that
District. The proposed subdivision will reconfigure the property lines in the
area to create: 1) the right-of-way for Dahlberg Drive, the main access to much
of the property; 2) the parcel of land for Planned Unit Development #59,
Dahlberg Inc. Corporate Headquarters; and 3) other miscellaneous parcels to be
held for future redevelopment proposals or to be transferred to already-
identified parties.
Discussion took place among the Commissioners and the City Planner about the
different areas on the preliminary plat which was included with the agenda
packet.

Bill Frank, 742 Decatur Avenue No. was attending the meeting to find out the
impact this redevelopment would have on his building which is being leased by
Juhl Brokerage. Mr. Frank asked if the the service drive along Hwy. 55 would be
eliminated along these properties. Beth Knoblauch stated that as long as access
is required there would be a maintained service drive. Dahlberg Drive will
become a detached service road. Mr. Frank also asked about the construction of
the Dahlberg building and when the demolition of the existing building would
take place. Beth Knoblauch stated that the City has to tear down the existing
Dahlberg facility in the Valley Square Redevelopment area and Dahlberg wants to
be on their site within a year and will start construction as soon as they get
approval.
Chair Prazak closed the informal public hearing.
