RE: Snelling-Universit Desig Review Committee Recor�nendation for City
• Council Authorizat on of he Filing of an Application for an Urban
� Development Action Grant or the Snelling-University Project
Dear Councilmember Sonn n:
This is in response to our re uest for a Snelling-University Design Review
Corr�nittee recommendatio on Ci y Council authorization of the filing of an
application for an Urba Devel pment Action Grant (UDAG) for the Snelling-
University Project. I chai ing th� flesign Review Committee in my role as
City Planning Comnissio er.
On March 26, 1985, the nellin -University Design Review Comnittee unanimousl
adopted the attached re olutio recomnending City Council authorization of th
. UDAG application.
The Design Review Comni tee held its first meeting on February 26, and has ha
three meetings since th n. We have gotten off to a fast start. I think the
Committee is excited ab ut the hope the Slawik proposal holds for needed
improvements in the Sne ling-U iversity area. On the other hand, serious
design issues remain to be res lved. Neighboring residents are particularly
concerned about the imp ct of proposed business loop road. The business
loop would divert some raffic from the Snelling-University intersection,
helping to bring the in ersection into compliance with federal carbon
monoxide standards. Bu the r ad would also mean the loss of three additiona
houses and more traffic near s veral other houses. The possibility of
elimi�nating the busines loop ad is being evaluated. -
P age Two �
The Design Review Committee intends to transmit its final recommendations on
project design and related development issues to the HRA in late summer,
1985. Our recommendation for submission of an application for- a UDAG at this
time should not be taken as an endorsement of any particular design or as
final approval of the project. We do believe the project repr.esents a great
opportunity for needed improvements at Snelling-University. A UDAG
application should be submitted now to give it the best possible chance of
approval .
Sincerely,
� �„-� � �
