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