• 6. MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL This small section of the Highway 10 corridor is residential and is recommended as remaining residential. These properties do not have direct access to Highway 10. The homes do not face Highway 10 but instead have side properties adjacent to the Highway corridor. It is recommended to add a dense layer of landscaping along the houses that are visible from Highway 10 to buffer it from the traffic. 7. CORPORATE HEADOUARTERS FACILITY This is the largest section of undeveloped land along Highway 10 and special care needs to be taken to ensure proper and best use of the property. It is recommended to attract a corporate headquarters facility to the site which would be developed in a campus setting keeping its natural, wooded atmosphere. There are 24.26 acres in this section. It is estimated that 14.35 of the total acreage is buildable since there is a very large wetland area to the west of the property. The property is owned by an elderly women who wants to ensure that she receives proper compensation for the land. She too would like to see the property developed with the utmost care to keep it as a natural campus type setting incorporating hiking and biking trails for pubic use. 8a. CITY HALL AND COMMUNITY CENTER This area of the Highway 10 corridor is the center of the City-thus City Center. There is no coincidence that this is the location of the City Hall Administration Building which also houses the Police Station. Included on the grounds of City Hall is City Hall Community Park which includes an adult ballfield, youth ballfield, picnicking facilities, twin sand court volleyball courts, soccer field, and pre- school playground equipment. City Hall Park is the location of the annual Festival In the Park, a City celebration. Also located on City Hall Park is a wellhouse, water tower water reservoir and Public Works building. Across the street from City Hall Park, including the facilities previously mentioned, is the Bel Rae Ballroom and adjoining undeveloped property. The Bel Rae building is a one story large building. It has a large parking lot and is very accessible to the Highway 10 corridor. The Bel Rae is also very accessible to neighborhoods of Mounds View. The property abutting the Bel Rae is mostly wetland, but it does abut Highway 10 corridor. The owners of the property have been unable to develop the property due to the small amount of buildable space. The owners of both of these properties are willing to sell. 8b.
