Mounds View Planning Commission March 20, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Carvelli-Yu recommended additional language be written into the proposed <br />amendment to assure that remodeled or altered cargo containers do not become an issue in the <br />future. She stated she was willing to work on drafting a statement to add into the ordinance <br />regarding this prior to the next meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Smith questioned if the cargo container has to be placed on a specified improved <br />surface. <br /> <br />Associate Heller indicated that the ordinance had language requiring the containers be placed on <br />a hard surface. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson recommended this item be tabled to the next Planning Commission meeting. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />B. County Road 10 Corridor Discussion <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that the City Council was working to <br />improve the County Road 10 corridor. This involved landscaping the streetscape, in addition to <br />renaming the corridor. The improvement of this corridor would assist with redevelopment <br />efforts. She explained some TIF funds were available as well. <br /> <br />Associate Heller explained an overlay district was suggested for the County Road 10 corridor to <br />assist with the discussed improvements. An overlay district would allow for specific design <br />guidelines for all future redevelopment. <br /> <br />Associate Heller then discussed the recent redevelopment study for the Premium Stop lot and the <br />surrounding properties. <br /> <br />Commissioner Carvelli-Yu questioned if the City has contacted neighboring cities to discuss <br />their redevelopment strategies. <br /> <br />Associate Heller was not aware of any conversations, but understood that the use of TIF may <br />assist with spurring redevelopment. <br /> <br />Associate Heller noted a joint meeting between the Planning Commission and City Council has <br />been scheduled for the April 1, 2013 City Council Worksession, to discuss this matter in further <br />detail. She encouraged each of the Commissioners to attend. She reported she would forward <br />the agenda to the Commissioners when completed. <br />______________________________________________________________________________
