The primary focus of the meeting was Block Metrics’ revised site plan and construction documents for a property on TC Drive. The new design includes relocating the main offices and optimizing the placement of fire hydrants. The proposed changes also account for a future ninth data center cooler, although it is not part of the immediate development. Concerns about noise levels were raised, particularly regarding the potential for increased decibel levels with the additional unit. The council discussed current noise standards and potential regulatory measures to ensure compliance, noting that fines or legal action could be pursued if standards are exceeded. The council approved the resolution for the change of scope in the minimum improvements, allowing the project to proceed with the revised plans.

The meeting also addressed plans for the Highway 210 reconstruction, with updates on upcoming meetings involving the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). The council emphasized the importance of attending these sessions to provide input on detour routes and other logistical concerns. These discussions will feed into a workshop scheduled for April, aimed at developing a strategic mitigation plan to assist local businesses during the construction period.
