Bloomington Northwest Area Plan. Mr. Dennis Daniais a Senior Planner for the City of Bloomington presented a Comprehensive physical development plan for that portion of the City of Bloomington situated west of Normandale Road and north of West 98th Street. Daniels reviewed the procedure the city had followed in the development of the plan and presented a brief explanation of the plan proposals for those properties situated near Eden Prairie. He emphasized that the plan was still being reviewed by Bloomington agencies ana that futher contacts would need to be made with • adjacent Villages, the highway departments and other public agencies. Mr. Daniels responded to a number of questions regarding specific aspects of the plans and noted particularily that the plan proposals took into account the Eden Prairie Anderson Lake proposal and the Eden Prairie proposal for a major deversified center in the vicinity of 494 and 169. B. Bryant Lake Area Land Use. Mr. Curtis Turner, Mr. Bob Porter, Mr. Jerry Carnes and others representing the residents in the Willow Creek and The Cove subdivisions expressed their opposition to the possibility of multiple family development in the vicinity of Bryant Lake, and asked that the Commission amend the Villages Comprehensive Guide Plan so that no such development was considered to be a possible use in that area. Mayor Osterholt advised the Commission that the residents of the area had appeared at a recent Council meeting for the same purpose and that they had been advised by the Council that their request should be initially directed to the Commission. The Village Manager advised that much of the property between Bryant Lake and the 494-169 Cloverleaf area had been recently sold and that the new land owners bad advised him that they would be submitting rezoning proposals to the Village within the next month or two. He said that he expected the proposals to include multiple family developments and that in the process of evaluating these proposals the Village would of necessity need to re-evaluate the Comprehensive Guide Plan components. Mr. Turner said that he felt the Village should immediately revise the Comprehensive Plan so that it did not indicate the possibility of multiple family zoning in the area, and not wait until development proposals were received before such review was initiated.
