Ardan & Greenfield Park Redevelopment Discussion. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Beeman reported the Council met with five developers at their last <br />worksession meeting to discuss a redevelopment area south of Ardan Park. He noted four of the <br />developers proposed townhomes and one developer proposed a tiny home, affordable <br />development. Staff reviewed the type of housing products, the number of units each developer was <br />proposing and asked for comments from the EDA on how to proceed. <br /> <br />Executive Director Zikmund commented on how the wetlands would have to be addressed if this <br />area were to develop. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lindstrom stated he supported the Leneer project moving forward. He appreciated <br />how this developer considered the best fit for the area. He appreciated how the high end housing <br />would fit into this neighborhood. He believed this development was both desirable and thriving. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gunn commented she supported Pulte and Yard Homes working together in order <br />to have townhomes and tiny homes on this property. She indicated this would provide a new type <br />of housing for residents of Mounds View. She stated her second choice would be Centra which <br />was another townhome development. She believed the City could use more townhomes. <br /> <br />Vice President Cermak explained her first choice would be the Pulte development because this <br />development would provide smaller units with no stairs. She reported she was not a fan of <br />townhomes.
