DISTRICT 9 (NOTE: This District is part of the Old Highway 10 Corridor; additional planning considerations are contained in that sec- tion. ) District 9 forms the south-western border of Mounds View and is defined by Silver Lake Road on the west, County Road H on the south and County Road H2 on the north. The District is essentially low-density residential with the exception of two commercial properties and Edgewood Middle School. The District is served by Woodcrest and Random Parks, and features slopes, tree massing and wetland areas including a protected wetland area on the west side of Long Lake Road. There is also a small artificially created body of open water. The majority of the housing stock is well maintained, although many do not meet current square footage requirements . There are also several homes requiring rehabilitation. Access to this area is via County Road H on the south and County Road H2 on the north. North-south arterial roads are Silver Lake Road to the west and Long Lake Road to the east. Traffic on Long Lake Road impacts the District significantly, especially near its intersection with Old Highway 10 . Both the north and south edge of this District experience considerable east-west traffic on County Roads H and H2 as they approach Old Highway 10 and 35W. Limited commercial opportunity exists within the District. Other than a few open lots allowing fill-in housing in various neighborhoods, there is also land on the south side of County Road H2 which is available for low density, single or multi- family housing. The low-density residential character of the District should be maintained. 0491-1 (No Revisions)
