The minutes of the August 15, 1991 Special Economic Development Commission
meeting were approved as presented.
The Commission reviewed the proposed preliminary plat and grading plan for
the Fairfield Business Campus. Discussion by members indicated that the
layout in general was very good, with a number of building sites being
proposed. Concerns raised included the need to maintain flexibility m the
destgn of lots and future lot lines. Mr. Sobota indicated that the entire
campus would be platted as outlots with the exception of the Apothecary
Products Site in order to ensure future flexibility. The Commission
discussed whether the grading of the entire site should include spreading
of the cut material. It was concluded that spreading and compacting the
• material would not inhibit future flexibility and would be needed from a
marketing standpoint. Members identified the following issues:
1. Check the turning radius from the boulevard to the south access road
to ensure 18 wheeler access would not be inhibited.
2. Landscaping should be shown in the signage area for a monument sign
for Fairfield Business Campus. There should be a landscape berm on
the east and north to separate the business campus from the
residential areas.
3. The east access road to 210th Street should not be constructed at this
time until tenants would be located for the building sites on either
side. Future flexibility for size of sites could be important from a
future tenants point of view.
Mr. Sobota indicated that these comments would be provided to OSM, the
City's consulting engineer, and consideration would be given to including
them into the plan.
Chairman Berg next called on the Commission to review the protective
covenants for the Fairfield Business Cam us. A draft was presented based
on the Wedgewood Commerce Center ofpMaple Grove. The Commission reviewed
the covenants and it was generally concluded that the City, as developer,
should maintain control of the covenants until the park is either developed
or the tenants show a capacity to manage the campus. There was some
discussion that the Economic Development Commission could act as the
• initial architectural review committee.
