Analysis
As the City Council is aware, a development agreement has been entered into with
MetroPlains Development for construction of Jackson Place and the Bluffs of Elk River.
Jackson Place will be constructed on property currently owned by the City of Elk River and
deeded to the Village of Elk River in 1958 by Emil and Edith Parent and Standard Oil
Company.
The City completed title proceedings to ensure that there are no ancillary interests in Jackson
Square and that the property can be transferred to the developer.
The Planning Commission has found that the development of Jackson Square is consistent
with the goals and visions stated in the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
