The upcoming planning commission meeting originally scheduled for June 24th has been canceled, with the next meeting now set for July 29th. On the agenda for this meeting are several significant items, including a variance for a sign along I-94, a proposed seven-lot subdivision in the Elm Road area, and a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a 132-unit housing project designated for residents aged 55 and older at Village Arbor Lakes. Additionally, a zoning ordinance text amendment concerning two-stall garages will be discussed.

The city is also actively working on a park trail study that aims to enhance connectivity between Central Park, Arbor Lakes, and the Maple Lakes and Teal Lake Parks. Community feedback is being gathered through online surveys, with outreach efforts planned during local events such as Chalk Fest and Juneteenth.

In business developments, several ribbon-cutting ceremonies are scheduled, including Broadway Pizza on June 20th at 3 PM, Paris Baguette at 10:30 AM on the same day, and Camp Smile Pediatric Dentist at 3:30 PM. Lakewood Knolls will also celebrate its ribbon-cutting on June 20th at 5:30 PM, while North Star Bank and Sweet Living Senior Care will hold their ceremonies on July 9th and July 10th, respectively.

Furthermore, preliminary findings from a study on the Maple Grove Parkway area, specifically the intersections between 77th Avenue and 82nd Avenue, have been received. A neighborhood meeting to discuss these findings and potential safety improvements is scheduled for June 27th at 5:30 PM at the government center.
