Planning Commission Resolution No. 536-98 <br /> March 18, 1998 <br /> Page 4 <br /> half of which would be full-time positions. Many of the jobs created would be filled by <br /> Mounds View residents. <br /> Goal 2. Provide safe, convenient, attractive, and accessible commercial development within Mounds <br /> View. <br /> The development proposed at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and County Road I <br /> would be put through an intensive review process by which all aspects of the building <br /> design and site layout would be examined. The proposed use would be buffered from the <br /> adjacent residential areas by an expanse of greenspace, plantings and a fence. In terms of <br /> convenience, a neighborhood commercial use at this location would give those residents <br /> living north of County Road I and east of Highway 10 the ability to walk for certain goods <br /> and services without having to cross either thoroughfare, which are viewed as major <br /> barriers to pedestrian and other non-vehicular traffic. To encourage pedestrian use, the <br /> City would require that a sidewalk be extended to the site from Long lake Road on the <br /> north side of County Road I and there would be a pedestrian access from Eastwood Road <br /> to the north. <br /> 110, <br /> Goal 3. Major retail sales and services will be developed in planned and concentrated centers. <br /> Now that the majority of the available vacant land within the City is either developed or <br /> is slated for development, this goal may not be as applicable as infill development becomes <br /> more prevalent. However, if one considers that by locating on the fourth corner of an <br /> intersection already populated with higher intensity commercial uses, then this goal is met. <br /> The development will provide for its own stormwater retention and treatment system. <br /> Goal 4. The development of small, neighborhood convenience stores will be limited to locations which <br /> best serve residential areas without impairing residential development. <br /> Any development proposed for this site will be put through an intensive review process <br /> through which compatibility with the character of the surrounding neighborhood will be <br /> strongly encouraged. The access to the proposed use will be convenient for the <br /> surrounding community and non-vehicular traffic will be encouraged through the <br /> installation of pathways and sidewalks. <br /> WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan land use map designation for District 6 is proposed <br /> to be amended as shown on Exhibit 2, attached herewith. • <br />
