Bloomington residents and interested parties, mark your calendars for a public hearing concerning the future of the Normandale Lake District. Set for September 18 at 6:00 p.m., the Bloomington Planning Commission will be at the helm of this important discussion, held in the Council Chambers at the Bloomington Civic Plaza or alternatively available for participation through electronic means, true to State law allowances.
At the core of this meeting is the Case #PL2025-108, a proposal to amend the existing Normandale Lake District Plan, a key document guiding the development and conservation of the area, details of which are available on the city's website. For those unable to present in person the City provides several avenues for engagement including watching live broadcasts on BTV via Comcast channels 859 or 14 or online at the city's dedicated channels, further including a telephonic option for public testimonies wherein citizens can dial in and press *3 to indicate a desire to speak; however, ensuring your voice is heard requires punctuality, as it will remain muted until it's your turn to be called upon by the first six digits of your phone number.
Those who prefer to have their testimonies submitted in advance can rest assured, as these will be considered, given they are sent by noon on the day of the hearing, ensuring enough time for the officials to peruse the content, and must include the name of the specific agenda item in question to maintain clarity of purpose and intent.
Looking for further insights or eager to submit your comments ahead of time? Reach out to Dakota Kastenday, the Planning Supervisor, stationed at 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, for any additional information. Contact can be made via phone at (952) 563-8926 or by emailing [email protected].
