DISTRICT 7 District 7 consists entirely of residential neighborhoods bounded and accessed by County Road I to the south and Long Lake Road to the west. A mobile home park and single family homes exist along the Interstate 35W corridor. A greenway has been acquired in the northwest portion of the District to serve as a buffer between New Highway 10 and residential properties. This District was one of the first large residential developments in the City. Aging residential units and the negative effects of the mobile home park makes this area a prime candidate for rehabilitation and/or redevelopment. A number of homes within the-District- are- in need of rehabilitation. - --Efforts---should be made to identify any state or federal funds that may be available for improvement of these dwellings . The City would need to act as a liaison to encourage redevelopment and to aid residents in obtaining the funding. The District is served by Greenfield, Ardan and Oakwood Parks. Located within the District are several wetlands that serve an important role in the City's Storm Water Management System. These wetlands are protected from development by the City's Wetland Zoning Ordinance. New Highway 10 and County Road I are the major traffic impacts on the District, with noise from New Highway 10 being a major problem. Long Lake Road, Hillview Road, and Quincy Street also carry a considerable volume of traffic. Due to primary north/south runway orientation, the Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field) impacts the District. The mobile home park is a permitted use due to the City's adoption of a mobile home park zone (R-5) , even though it exceeds current density standards, making it a grandfathered condition. The City should take an active role in working to lessen the impact of existing conditions within the mobile home park. Rev. 8/91 24
