January 15,2010 EDC Meeting Item 6A—2010 Priorities Page 4 of 6 h. Improve the aesthetics of properties in the County Road 10 corridor • One purpose of code enforcement is to improve aesthetics. There were 22 code enforcement cases opened and closed in 2009 for properties located along the County Road 10 corridor. Examples include: • Steve's Appliances — no sign permit for inflatable Maytag Man • Simon's —three mattresses stored outside and other junk • Robert's Sports Bar— temporary flea market signs, rug sales too close to intersection • Silver Lake Commons — mess storm water retention area • Corvettle Specialties — inoperable Corvette stored on flatbed trailer, six temporary ground signs • Big Top Liquor— large green donation bin • Former Let's Get Graphic building —sprinklers causing ice buildup on road • Moe's — fence damaged and bent, litter accumulation in back parking lot • 2310 Hwy 10 (single-family home) — long grass, broken windows, unsecured property • Days Inn — stairway in back parking lot missing a riser • Mermaid — handicapped parking spaces unmarked, stored construction materials stored outside • Wynnsong — landscaping bushes and flowers dead along north and south sides of building • 2944 Hwy 10 (high density residential) — catch basin back-up • 2935 Hwy 10 (medium density residential) — vehicles parked off an improved surface, junk stored outside, 2) Incorporate the Risdall Branding Study, including marketing and communications plans, to help guide the EDC's priorities and recommendations The EDC and EDA continued its work on the Mounds View Branding Project in 2009 by receiving the results of Risdall's research and surveys of the residents and businesses, by adopting a Brand Strategy for Mounds View, by reviewing over one hundred tagline ideas and by receiving a framework from Risdall on marketing and communications for Mounds View. The EDA began implementing the logo by placing it on the electronic message board on County Road 10 and on the wall in the Council Chambers. 3) Monitor and assist with Citywide housing projects In April 2009, the EDC recommended that the EDA approve a $100 application fee for the EDA's Housing Replacement Program and that the EDA update its list of properties eligible for acquisition through the program. The EDA did not consider the EDC's recommendation in 2009. In Spring/Summer 2009, the EDA considered a request from the homeowners of 2949 Hwy 10 and 8271 Long Lake Road for the EDA to acquire the properties for redevelopment purposes. • Mounds View planned a Housing Resources Seminar for May of 2009 but there was a lack of RSVPs, so the event was cancelled.
