773 Work with the county to address the parking along downtown. There are not enough <br />spaces, and the roads are very narrow. With people trying to parallel park it backs up <br />frequently. <br />774 Do not lose the charm or you will lose the city. <br />775 Protecting community space in the downtown area will help existing and new <br />businesses feel more connected to this unique downtown area. Giving people places to <br />gather informally or for public/private events would be very forward-looking in my <br />opinion. Then, considering walking and biking trails to connect new residential and <br />commercial development to the downtown area will make it even better. I hope the <br />charm of Lake Elmo's history and agricultural small-town feel will be preserved through <br />intentional design and development. Thank you for seeking our input. <br />780 no apartments or high density housing...takes away from small town feel <br />781 Would love to keep smoke shops out of the area <br />782 Connect the walking/bike paths to better connect established developments to village <br />785 The moratorium was a very bad idea. Many investors and developers that I know are <br />skittish about Lake Elmo having two ad hoc moratoriums in two years. <br />791 It would be great to keep the feel of the small town with updates. No large buildings or <br />businesses. <br />794 Thanks for offering the survey! <br />805 it is suitable for more development, but not haphazard additions. Would be possible to <br />redevelop all the space that is now storage only or unused along the tracks east of 17, <br />and east of Lions Park <br />812 No more housing - we are past the required met council directive. There are more houses <br />bring built which will add more traffic on already over burdened thoroughfares. <br />815 Focusing on the dealership to Lake Elmo Inn, remove individual homes, replace with a <br />large mixed-use commercial and condo building and things to do. City did a great job of <br />adding Wildflower, Fields at Arbor Glen & Easton Village, plenty of residents have been <br />added and these are families with good jobs and discretionary income. Now give them a <br />reason to go downtown, trails to get there, focus on shopping, eating and activities. If you <br />build it, they will come, but right now it's a sleepy hollow of a town without anything to <br />do in the Village. <br />817 Leave what is existing in the old village for homes, the way they are. These people have <br />lived here for a very long time and deserve to live in the homes they want. For new <br />homes coming in, they shouldn't look like a large development. It should match what is <br />already existing. <br />ResponseID Response
