District 6 (Note: District 6 lies within the Old Highway 10 Corridor Plan. Additional planning considerations are contained within that section. ) The predominant land use within District 6 is single family housing built on relatively large lots . Land use along the Old Highway 10 corridor is a mixture of single and multiple family residential, a day care facility and highway commercial. Also located in the District are two churches, one with an elementary school. There is a considerable mixture of old and new homes in the District. There are no officially designated wetlands in the District. The topography is relatively flat which has contributed to significant drainage problems . The District is served by Hillview Park located along the eastern border of the District. Access is to Old Highway 10, County Road I on the south, and to Long Lake Road on the east. Old Highway 10 and County Road I are the major traffic impacts on the District, with noise from Old Highway 10 being a major problem. As in District 5, District 6 suffers from higher than expected traffic on the North/South through streets. Long Lake Road and Hillview Road also carry a considerable volume of traffic. The Airport Access Road interchange at New Highway 10 may significantly increase traffic on several streets . Due to the primary north/south runway orientation, the Anoka County/Blaine Airport (Janes Field) impacts this District. The District offers limited opportunities for fill-in low density residential development. 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 Old Highway 10 Corridor is a mixture of single family, medium density and high density residential as wel - • ' . . . . - y-development or redevelopment outside of the Old Highway 10 Corridor should be single residential-to maintain the primary character of the District. Any planning proposal in this area should not preclude the extension of Knollwood Drive, south of Ardan Avenue. Additional redevelopment opportunities on Old Highway 10 should be closely reviewed to minimize negative impact on the overall residential character of the District.
