<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION <br />RESOLUTION NO. 599-99 <br /> <br />CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW <br />COUNTY OF RAMSEY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />RESOLUTION SUPPORTING TOLD DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND PROPOSED <br />LAND SWAP <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council has asked the Planning Commission to <br />review the TOLD Development Co, concept for the Videen parcel and city owned remnant <br />parcel; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the TOLD Development Co. <br />(TOLD) proposal and made the following findings: <br /> <br />1. The proposed retail/restaurant/clinic land uses if designed properly are <br />compatible with surrounding land uses. TOLD has indicated a willingness <br />to design the structures and use building materials which are consistent <br />with adjacent buildings. <br />2. The proposed development is isolated from residential uses. <br />3. The proposed land use is consistent with the future land use designation of <br />the site as shown in the draft comprehensive plan currently being reviewed <br />by the Planning Commission. <br />4. The proposed use is consistent with the current zoning of the Videen <br />property. Rezoning of the city remnant parcel would be required. <br />5. TOLD is willing to relocate the stormwater holding pond on the remnant <br />parcel at their expense. <br />6. TOLD is willing to trade approximately 7.4 acres of land for approximately <br />1.5 acres ofland. The City could use the 7.4 acres ofland to protect the <br />existing wetland, to provide additional recreational opportunities, and to <br />provide stormwater improvements. <br />7. TOLD is willing to contribute towards the cost of recreational <br />improvements on the 7.4 acre parcel. <br />8. TOLD will attempt to have the existing billboard removed. <br />9. The Park and Recreation Commission has indicated general support of the <br />TOLD proposal. <br />10. The TOLD proposal is the best that has been presented and the developer <br />is willing to work with the city to address all issues. <br />11. At this time the Planning Commission does not believe that the land swap <br />would result in unacceptable costs to the City. The City Council should <br />look at the total costs of the land swap. <br />
