Mounds View Planning Commission October 3, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />6. Other Planning Activities <br /> <br />A. Comp Plan 2008 Update <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller explained the Planning Commission would discuss the Future Land <br />Use Map again as three of the Commissioners were absent from the September 19th meeting. <br />She stated the Commissioners who were present felt that no decisions should be made without <br />more of the Commissioners being involved in any changes. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller explained that, since the last meeting, she put together maps outlining <br />the specific parcels that should possibly have the land use designation changed. She presented <br />the following examples: 1) Two of the manufactured home parks are currently designated as <br />Single Family Attached (SFA) for the future land use, but maybe they should be changed to stay <br />a manufactured home neighborhood in order for these areas to remain affordable housing and 2) <br />There are also several redevelopment opportunities right now in the City, and the Planning <br />Commission should look at the land use map in order to prepare for potential changes. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller commented she and Community Development Director Ericson <br />discussed changing some of the land uses to make them consistent such as single-family homes <br />and townhomes. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Miller commented the Townsedge Terrace manufactured town home park should go <br />with the industrial area next to it. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller replied this manufactured home park would be designated as light <br />industrial should that use ever be changed in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gunn stated she would like it to remain light industrial. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller commented the manufactured home parks are great affordable living <br />areas. <br /> <br />Consensus reached that Townsedge Terrace Manufactured Home Park would remain as light <br />industrial and the other manufactured home parks would be changed from single family attached <br />(SFA) to a manufactured home (MH) designation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cramblit commented on the Saturn and Premium Stop sites. He questioned the <br />plan for Highway 10 and what would be best for these sites. He commented this seems to be an <br />opportunity to identify these properties correctly. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller replied she would need to research the Highway 10 plan to see what <br />had been envisioned for this corner. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gunn stated she believed this intersection is earmarked for restructuring. She <br />indicated the Saturn lot might become smaller when the intersection is realigned.
