CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 1.0 REQUEST: The City of Mounds View is seeking proposals from qualified developers to acquire and develop a 3 acre site located at the intersection of Edgewood Drive and Highway 10. 2.0 GENERAL BACKGROUND: 2.1 Site The City of Mounds View will be realigning Edgewood Drive to provide a safer signalized intersection with Highway 10. This realignment will create a city-owned 1 1/2 acre development parcel. Existing unneeded public right-of-way would be vacated and made part of the development site. The City also has an option on an adjacent vacant 9.4 acre privately-owned parcel which could be acquired and developed in conjunction with the city-owned parcel. Due to a wetland, only approximately 1 1/2 acres of the privately-owned parcel adjacent to the city-owned site is developable. When these parcels are combined together the development site will be approximately 3 acres in size. 2.2 Development Objectives It is the city's goal to facilitate development of these two sites to enhance the city's tax base, provide a quality aesthetic physical environment which enhances the adjacent city hall/community center complex and protects and enhances the wetland. 2.3 Comprehensive Plan Designation The city's comprehensive plan currently designates the city-owned site as CC Civic Center. The privately-owned site is designated as MD Medium Density Residential and HC Highway Commercial. The City will consider redesignating the site for office/ commercial uses which are designed to meet the above-mentioned city development objectives. 2.4 Zoning The city-owned site is zoned PF Public Facilities and the privately-owned site is zoned B-3 Highway Business. The city will consider rezoning the site to a planned unit development(PUD)to provide design and use flexibility for an appropriate well designed project.
