City of Mounds View 12040 Comprehensive Plan <br />DRAFT November 26, 2019 <br />NATURAL RESOURCES <br />Vibrant natural amenities help make Mounds View thrive. Preserving and <br />retaining natural resources for the future is an important value in Mounds View <br />and across the region. The City is home to numerous parks, lakes, and <br />wetlands, which provide ecological and recreational benefits to residents. <br />These natural resources are shown in Figure 2-5. No new parks are planned <br />but the City will work to protect existing natural areas for future generations. <br />Mounds View will collaborate with adjacent communities, the Minnesota <br />Department of Natural Resources, the Rice Creek Watershed District, Ramsey <br />County, Anoka County, and the Metropolitan Council to protect and enhance <br />natural resources in the area. <br />Mounds View is a Minnesota Green Step City, Level 1 (2019) and considering <br />appointing a Green Step Advisory Committee to pursue additional endeavors. <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION <br />There are no historically significant or potential historically significant sites <br />in Mounds View. Therefore, there is not a need for any special measures to <br />ensure the protection of historically significant properties. The City will <br />consider this potential issue during the normal development review process. <br />AGGREGATE RESOURCES <br />There are no aggregate sites in Mounds View. Therefore, there is no need <br />for the City to adopt any special measures to ensure the protection of these <br />resources. According to historic accounts, much of the "mounds" of Mounds <br />View Township were mined long ago. Remnants remain within the Arden Hills <br />Army Training Site (AHATS). <br />MouNDs VIEW <br />Chapter 2: Land Use 12-18 <br />
