Small Area Plan Scheduled for October 30

[Duluth, MN] – The City of Duluth invites the public to attend the Park Point Small Area

Plan Public Open House meeting on Wednesday, October 30, 2013, from 4:00 to 6:00

pm at the Lafayette Community Recreation Center located at 3026 Minnesota Avenue.

At this meeting, city planners and Plan Committee members will be on hand to

discuss the City staff and Plan Committee’s work to date and share options for

recommendations to be included in the Park Point Small Area Plan. The public is also

encouraged to review and comment on the various options included in the Plan.

The Park Point Small Area Plan build on the goals, policies, and implementation

strategies in the City’s 2006 Comprehensive Land Use Plan and serves to augment that

Plan by providing more analysis and detailed recommendations. The Park

Point Plan study area includes the entire 583.5 acres of Park Point from the Aerial lift

bridge to the Superior Harbor entry. Recent residential development activity on Park

Point, as well as potential commercial development, along with long standing issues

with public access to beaches, transportation patterns and infrastructure (water and

sewer) capacity concerns, has raised a number of questions regarding changes

to existing and future land use and the character of the Park Point neighborhood.

Therefore, it is necessary for the City to study the area in greater detail to develop

and implement a long term plan that will maintain but also enhance the neighborhood

character for residents of and visitors to Park Point.

The planning process began in the January of 2013 and is expected to conclude later

this year with a report to the Planning Commission. To learn more about the Park

Point Small Area Plan, including Plan Committee meeting summaries and other plan

documents go to http://www.duluthmn.gov/planning/sap/park-point.cfm the public can

also submit comments on the website.

Questions can be directed to John Judd in the City’s Planning Division, (218) 730-5301.

Please take the Park Point Street End Survey by October 28

City of Duluth Administration is proposing street end vacations on the bayside and the lake side of Park Point. ( 14 on the bay side and 3 on the lake side)
The list of recommended street ends for vacation is in the October Breeze. Street end access on Park Point has been discussed for years but clarity, and, at times, civility, have been elusive.

Several members of the Park Point Community Club suggested a survey to find out what users of Park Point think about the City’s proposal.

Your input will be used to discuss how the street ends on Park Point are used and to make a recommendation to City Planning on the future of public access on Park Point.

The public meeting of the Park Point Small Area Plan will be held at Lafayette on October 30, time to be determined. The event will be hosted by City Planning staff.
