DISTRICT 12 <br /> (NOTE: This District is part of the Old Highway 10 Corridor; <br /> additional planning considerations are contained in that <br /> section. ) <br /> District 12 abuts Old Highway 10 and forms the southern section <br /> of the City's West Gate entrance. Land use along the highway is <br /> multi-use commercial; the highest use is presently a gas station <br /> on the corner of the highway and Silver Lake Road. This District <br /> is primarily low density residential with isolated pockets of <br /> medium and high density uses. The District is served by Lakeside <br /> Park, on the north side of Spring Lake, which is jointly managed <br /> by the Lakeside Park Commission,____ _-Some tree massing appears in this area but most are contained on <br /> residential property. The predominant natural feature is a <br /> portion of Spring Lake, the only natural lake within the City's <br /> boundaries. <br /> Some commercial properties existing along Old Highway 10 are non- <br /> conforming due to setbacks and inadequate parking, which should <br /> be monitored in order to capitalize on any opportunity to align <br /> them with City codes . A few sparsely located open lots exist for <br /> fill-in residential development but the vast majority of property <br /> in this District is already developed. The present housing stock <br /> is generally in good repair. <br /> The Silver Lake area and water pipe easement along County Road I <br /> has the potential to assist in the City's plans to develop a <br /> system of pathways leading to City Center. Additional <br /> recreational opportunities exist along the south shore of Spring <br /> Lake, where it lies within Mounds View city limits . <br /> Rev. 8/91 34 <br />
