<br />City of Mounds View | 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />DRAFT September 21, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter 2: Land Use | 2-19 <br /> <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 2 (2020) and considering <br />appointing a Green Step Advisory Committee to pursue additional endeavors. <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION <br />Figure 3-1 illustrates the age of housing. There are no known historically <br />significant or potential historically significant sites in Mounds View. The <br />Mermaid statute (The Mermaid Event Center (1966) is culturally significant <br />The statute was removed in 2018 due to roof damage. Nearly historic <br />buildings include Moe’s (formerly, Pinewood Club (1940), Church Upon the <br />Rock (formerly, Red Oak School, 1940), Columbia Transit (1940), Simons <br />Sporting Goods and Simons Liquor (1946), and Fedor’s Pinewood Market <br />(1948). These buildings served as cornerstones of the Village after the War <br />years. Structurally and by appearances, these buildings have not fared well <br />over time. Within this Plan, a policy is established to consider adapted re- <br />use, prior to any demolition and redevelopment. <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 /> <br />SilverView Park
