<br />Minnesota Statutes require that the Flanning Comrnission zevie�r and make recommendations
<br />regarding proposed purchases of real estate vyithin the City of Mounds View by the City to make sure
<br />such acquisitions are in keeping with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
<br />The City of Mounds tliew has the opportw�ity to acquire taY-forfeited properrtty located between 3000
<br />and 3016 County Road I�2 for $68,901.14 (See attached calculation statement from Ramsey
<br />County). The City currently has a use deed, however, acquiring the 1.5 acre lot in the narth central
<br />portion of the block would facilitate the development of a signifcant housing subdivision in the City
<br />of Maunds View.
<br />Discu��ron:
<br />Currently the City owns or controls approximaiely 6.5 acres of land in the block bounded by County
<br />Road H2, Knollwood Dr., and Woodale Drive, axid what would be Pleasant View Dr. if it exisfed
<br />(see attached parcel map}. During the past eight years the City has acquired three lots along Co.
<br />Road H2-2946, the parcel behind 3000, and 3016. Two of the lots are over 630 ft in Iength and are
<br />among the largest in the City not fully developed. The lot between 3016 and 3000 is a tax-forfeited
<br />property owned by Ramsey County and controlled by the City though a use deed.
<br />In Februaty of tYtis year, one of the neighbaring property owners, Blaine Fyksen, expressed a
<br />willingness to work with the City to develop his properly for single-family homes. Mr. Fyksen owns
<br />several parcels (totaling 4.1 acres} that border ihe Ciiy's property to the west. He does not want to
<br />see high-density residential deveiopment in the area, but would be willing to sell if the property
<br />would be developed for high-end homes (approx. $400-500,000 each). The entire block is currently
<br />zaned R-1.
<br />During this spring three developer groups liave been preparing concept plans for the proposed
<br />Caunty Road H2 Residential Proj ect. City Staff p�esented these initial concept plans io the Piazuling
<br />Commission at its 5/21/03 meeting. The developers (Dave Regel Construction, Hoznes by Jatnes,
<br />and Pro Craf� Homes} were present to respond to Commissioners' questions. The Planning
<br />Commission viewed a11 t�e concept plans as appropriate and ones that would be positive for the City.
<br />The Planning Commission encouraged that aIl three developers be considered by the City Council.
