Item # 6 � City of Mounds View Planning Commission Report Meeting Date: June 7, 2000 Title: PUBLIC HEARING AND DISCUSSION REGARDING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR A WALGREENS DRUGSTORE AND CULVERS RESTAURANT AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 10 AND EDGEWOOD DRIVE Planning Case: ZC00-002 Applicant: Bob Cunningham, Representing TOLD Development Company Introduction: Bob Cunningham, representing TOLD Development Company, is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development to construct a Walgreens Drugstore and Culver's Restaurant at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and Edgewood Drive on property commonly referred to as the City's "remnant parcel." Mr. Cunningham is proposing to swap approximately 7.7 acres of the Midland Videen site for the remnant parcel, which is approximately 2/3 of an acre. It is proposed that the stormwater pond on the remnant parcel would be relocated to high ground within the 7.7 acre Midland Videen site. Approximately 3.2 acres of the 7.7 acres to be received by the City are upland and potentially developable. The remaining acreage is wetland, delineated by the City's engineer, SEH. Within the upland area, it would be proposed that the City's stormwater pond would be relocated and resized to accommodate more runoff and to help reduce potential flooding that may occur downstream south of Highway 10. In addition to the relocated stormwater pond, the pond adjacent to the Community Center would be expanded to provide more of a community surface water management benefit. It is further proposed that the developer would construct a paved trail that would encircle the wetlands, connecting to both the Community Center and the proposed development. The 7.7 acres would be utilized as passive outdoor open space, preserving and enhancing the natural and scenic value of this wetland as well as to preserve the wildlife habitat and to improve the City's surface water management system. In order for the Walgreens Planned Unit Development to proceed, the site would need to be replatted to create the two development parcels. In so doing, the Community Center would become one parcel, as would the City Hall / Public Works land. The wetlands would be platted as an outlot. In conjunction with the replatting, the right of ways for Edgewood Drive and Bronson Drive would be dedicated. In addition, the right of way for the original Edgewood Drive would be vacated and any utility easements vacated or relocated as needed.
