OUNDS S VIEW <br />of Mounds View Staff <br />Item No: 8A&B <br />Meeting Date: January 6, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Reports <br />To: Mounds View Planning Commission <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Upcoming Planning Cases and Activity & Staff <br />Updates <br />A. Upcoming Planning Cases and Activit <br />At this time, there are no new planning requests that have been submitted for <br />consideration. The only pending activity in the immediate future is to review the Planning <br />Commission Bylaws, which needs to be done at the first meeting in February. I have <br />included the Bylaws in this packet for the benefit of our two new members. The Bylaws <br />were last updated in 2007 and Staff is not aware of any provision that should be revised. <br />B. Staff Updates <br />I would like to say that we have an update regarding the proposal from the Beard Group <br />who had proposed to construct a market -rate multi -family facility at the corner of County <br />Road 10 and County Road H2. (the Crossroad Pointe site.) The City Council agreed that <br />the developer could make the proposal based only on the residential component, leaving <br />"Phase 2" available for future redevelopment either by the City or the Beard Group. A draft <br />Predevelopment Agreement has been prepared but the attorneys continue to hash out the <br />fine details which would guide us to a more binging Development agreement. <br />Regarding the position of Planner, it had taken longer than expected to reach out and hear <br />back from all the references, so no offers have been extended to our top candidate. It is <br />still our hope to have the candidate before the City Council for approval at the January 25, <br />2016 meeting. If all goes well, we anticipate a start date of February 1, 2016. <br />I will be out of the office the third week of January, so coupled with no pending planning <br />applications, I would like to cancel the scheduled meeting on January 20, 2016. <br />Sincerely, <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />
