• Mounds View Planning Commission April 16, 1997 Special Meeting Page 5 Chair Peterson commented that the proposed changes are consistent with past reviews of the Planning Commission. Commissioner Brooks commented that she felt the provisions added for dedication of land for trail systems and revisions to the description of District 1 of the Comp Plan are necessary. Director Sheldon read the addition aloud. Commissioner Stevenson commented that the section regarding commercial and medium density is a key portion because it ties in with the new designation. Commissioner Johnston inquired if Exhibits 1 and 2 would become part of the Comp Plan. Director Sheldon explained that if the Council adopts the resolution, the exhibits would be put into the Comp Plan. Mr. Jay Anthony indicated that they have two out-parcels that are a part of their total PUD which are intended for restaurant development. He was concerned that he would have to go through the entire PUD process for each of the restaurant developments. Director Sheldon indicated that they would need to amend the PUD ,• to add those uses and it would be a public hearing process. Mr. Anthony commented that he hoped approval could be obtained at staff level. Director Sheldon explained that he would not have to go through a Comp Plan amendment process and that this issue was better addressed when they discussed the rezoning part of the request. Commissioner Johnston inquired if this was the only wording for District 1 in the Comp Plan because he knows there is something else being talked about for District 1 which is not addressed specifically in the proposed wording. Director Sheldon indicated that the wording reflects the fact that the primary purpose of the Comp Plan is to envision what will happen in the future so vacant land tends to be the focus as opposed to going parcel by parcel and discussing existing development. Commissioner Obert inquired who will be responsible for the trailways system if it is approved for the Comp Plan. Director Sheldon indicated that the Parks and Recreation Commission notes where the trail systems cross over land being considered for development, and the location of trails is established at the development plan stage. If they do not require Planning Commission review, other techniques may need to be used to relay this information. She added that it could be the responsibility of the Developer if that is what the City decides.
