R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director, began the presentation with the history, mission,
core values and the purpose of the SCALE charter. Mr. Leek talked about SCALE's unified plan that
focuses on corridor management and land use development as apposed to a piecemeal project by project
approach to development.
Renee Christianson, City Planner for New Prague, presented the group with the functional class concept.
She discussed the different types of roads throughout Scott County and their functions to access and
mobility. She presented a corridor management tool that will benefit the regional transportation and land
use system promoting SCALE's goals.
Lisa Freese, Public Works, Scott County, discussed planning tools with impact that will assist
jurisdictions with a unified planning method. She discussed comprehensive planning, zoning ordinances,
and subdivision ordinances. She went on to discuss different types of connectivity and the roles each
jurisdiction has in those connectivity to make them unified.
Michael Sobota, Community Development Director for Scott County, engaged the group in a group
exercise. Two groups were forms and each group was given an aerial map of an unidentified 80 acre
parcel of land with an principal arterial and minor arterial intersecting the land. The group was asked to
develop a preliminary layout of access points, supportive roadways, housing types, retail, non - retail /office
and open spaces. The groups then had to critique each other's work.
The second part of the exercise Mr. Sobota presented the group with the same aerial map and identified
the property as the I -35 and 185 Street intersection in Dakota County. The map included the current
layout and configurations of that area with retail, housing and principal arterial roadways. The group had
to discuss and comment on the current configuration of the map and what could be changed to unify the
land. In closing, Mr. Sobota discussed the learning points from the exercise.
