130 Really really really REALLY important to keep and maintain the small town charm. Even <br />if large companies are willing to pay a lot of money to put up their big box or unsightly <br />stores they will 100% take away from the uniqueness and value and beauty of living in <br />Lake Elmo. <br />135 Overall, I like it as is and will welcome the development that will come along with the <br />old ag fields since these will bring new business and communities. That said, there needs <br />to be more investment in infrastructure. I mean this both in terms of how things look (we <br />don't want the village looking run down) as well as things like ensuring walkable paths <br />and parking, nice green spaces, and upkept playgrounds. It would also be nice to have <br />the railway managed in a way that reduces the amount of noise (particularly horns). <br />136 Keep the village area balance with more outdoor options . We love nature & being <br />outdoors all year long , why we moved out this way no more McDonalds , no more large <br />chain /retail <br />137 The Fury motors site would be a great place for multiple vendors and indoor/outdoor <br />eating space. Similar to Malcolm Yards or Keg and Case <br />138 I'd love it if we could keep a small town feel to the area that caters to families. <br />140 Honestly, the new houses have ruined the small town feel (and I don't say that lightly as <br />I live in one of the newer houses). Traffic is constant and frustrating. There's no indoor kid <br />friendly (besides the library) places. I'd love a kids play area either inside or a bigger one <br />outside. <br />149 Please develop it. While there is value in the charm and character of long standing <br />businesses, adding to the area enhances it <br />152 The reason we moved to Lake Elmo was for the small town feel, with access to amenities <br />in nearby towns. With the amount of young families in the area (including ours) it would <br />be great to have options to take the kids to play, where the adults can also enjoy. A <br />community center, brewhall, etc. would be fantastic in the area. <br />168 I really like the village area and the businesses along lake Elmo ave. I just wish there <br />were more businesses that were walkable rather than having to drive to Oakdale or <br />Stillwater. I would prefer if we have a walkable community <br />171 Appreciate the intentionality. <br />177 More diverse ethnic food options and celebration of the diversity in the area, <br />184 The water issue needs to be resolved prior to more building and people become part of <br />the community. <br />185 No. I am proud to live in this community! <br />ResponseID Response
