According to the Lakeshore Weekly News, the Plymouth City Council remains divided on the density requirements for the 1,700 acres of developable land in Northwest Plymouth. This land is the last remaining large area of Plymouth to be developed.
Having personally attended many of the public meetings that the City has held during the past several months, my experience has been that many, if not most, of the land owners would like to see higher density. They can sell their land for more if the density is higher. However, given the status of the lack of dollars coming from Hennepin County to help widen and improve County Road 47, the Council appears to be cautious not to overburden that roadway with higher densities.
Plymouth has published several interesting charts on their web site. In addition, they have updated the land use map.
The Plymouth City Council will have a meeting June 27, 2006 to discuss the formal adoption of the land use plan.
