Our existing <br /> Comprehensive Plan was completed in 1977 and adopted in 1982. While Mounds View continues to <br /> be a community of quiet single family residential neighborhoods, with country-style streets and <br /> abundant trees,the character of the community is changing. Three business parks have been developed <br /> close to the I-35W Corridor in recent years. Mounds View is also experiencing strong interest in the <br /> marketplace for doing development and redevelopment projects along the Highway 10 Corridor. <br /> Several major projects have been approved or are under review. This is a very opportune time to <br /> revisit our goals and re-examine our vision for the future of our community, and to update our <br /> development requirements to make sure they are working to carry out the vision. The comprehensive <br /> planning process will be very helpful in this regard. We are also expecting to use this process to pull • <br /> together several important planning efforts that are underway. These include work on Highway 10 <br /> redevelopment, creation of the Mounds View City Center and ring road,work being done by the North <br /> Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition, and further expansion of our neighborhood and housing improvement <br /> program. <br /> With this letter,the City of Mounds View is submitting its request for a local planning assistance grant <br /> in the amount of$20,000 to assist us in preparing a Comprehensive Plan Update. Our application <br /> includes City Council Resolution No. 5143 authorizing the filing of the application, and the work plan, <br /> budget and proposed time line for accomplishing the update, as requested in the application <br /> instructions. Our budget includes a commitment of$73,200 of local funds to go with the amount <br /> requested from the Metropolitan Council. The$20,000 grant represents 21.5%of the total project <br /> budget. <br /> Please contact either Chuck Whiting, City Administrator, or Cathy Bennett,Economic Development <br /> Director if you have questions about our application. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW <br /> Duane McCarty, Mayor <br /> N:\DATA\USERS\PAMS.SHAREISPECPROJtSP004.96\CPGRANr.LET • <br /> ••• <br /> 46 PRIMO <br /> ITH 2401 Highway 10• Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 �•� <br /> SOY INK,,,, Ica%recycled weal <br /> Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
