Mounds View Planning Commission March 20, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 6 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson commented that, if Mr. Martinson had divided the lot prior to adopting the Comprehensive Plan, this lot would have been zoned R-2 because it fronts on Silver Lake Road.
