Mounds View Planning Commission Regular Meeting November 19, 2008 Page 4 Task Force Member Bjerke questioned the wording of Chapter 6, page 2, Goal 1. He stated he raised this issue at a Task Force meeting and the wording still concerns him. He stated it concerns him because the language implies that Mounds View transportation system isn't currently safe. It was suggested to read "Identify the improvements necessary to ensure the continued safety and convenience of the transportation system for movement by all modes." Chair Stevenson questioned Chapter 4, figure 9, the Land Available for Development or Redevelopment map. He stated the property north of Woodlawn toward County Road 10 is mismarked on the map. Planning Associate Heller stated there is now a newer Existing Land Use map to replace the one included in the plan. Commissioner Stevenson asked if the quality of the maps could be improved. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek questioned the color coding around the pond on Long Lake Road on the Future Land Use map. She indicated on the previous map it was designated Passive Open Space and it now designated Single Family Detached. Commissioner Lang stated in comparing the Existing Land Use map to the Future Land Use map, Random Park goes from being four lots to three lots. Chair Stevenson questioned page 2 in the Appendices, Proposed Future Land Use Designation Changes. He suggested he liked the look of the map in the old plan and would like to have the new map designed like this. Planning Associate Heller stated that most of the new maps were created in-house and cost factor is the reason for the different look of the new map. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek questioned the legend and if it was supposed to correlate to page 68. Commissioner Miller questioned when the other municipalities would be reviewing Mounds View's Comprehensive Plan. Director Roberts stated after approval from the City Council it will go to the other municipalities. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek indicated this plan is a guideline. She stated in Chapter 7, page 8, last paragraph, the "lacking highest and best use" wording may not be desirable. Director Roberts confirmed with others to remove the "lacking highest and best use" from the paragraph. Director Roberts stated each property's best use determination will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
