Memorandum
D�EGOIy
To: Planning Commissioners
From: Susan Millhauser, Assistant Planner
Dennis Egner, Long Range Planning Manager
Date: May 22, 2003
Subject: Lake Grove Town Center(P 01-0002)
On May 15th, staff met with four representatives of the Lake Grove Business Association. This meeting
followed the Planning Commission's meeting on May 14th, where the Commission voted to include
additional land inside the Lake Grove Town Center(LGTC) boundaries and to require housing as part of
the village mixed use concept. Lake Grove Business Association members asked that they be given the
opportunity to talk with the Commission about changes to the draft. Staff suggested that Association
members attend the May 28`"meeting. The main topic on the agenda for the meeting is the Outlook
2025 discussion of Goal 9 -Economy.
Key concerns expressed by Lake Grove Business Association members include:
• Business Association members are the key stakeholders in the study area.
• Commission recommendations in March and on May 12th occurred outside the public workshop
process.
• The conversion of land north of Kruse Way to a Business Corridor designation will draw retail
north away from the village core between Bryant and Reese Roads.
• Requiring housing in the Village Mixed Use areas will make it more difficult to redevelop
parcels.
The intent of May 28`"work session is to continue to have a positive dialogue with business owners and
neighborhood representatives and to provide any additional direction to the consultant prior to
preparation of the consultants final report due in June.
The report is scheduled to be presented to the Commission on July 14`h
