Mounds View Planning Commission May 3, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />regarding the yard homes. She asked how the City would be benefiting from this project. She <br />believed this was not the time or place to experiment with expensive townhomes and <br />“affordable” yard homes given the close proximity to an established residential neighborhood. <br />She indicated the neighbors were concerned with how much their home value will decrease. She <br />commented on how townhomes are not known for having high resale values. She noted this <br />project would remove one of the last remaining natural areas in Mounds View. She believed the <br />proposed trail did not make up for what would be lost should this project move forward. <br /> <br />Commissioner Urlacher recommended the developer provide further information regarding the <br />parking within the yard homes development. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald summarized his notes based on the comments from <br />the Commission and stated he would work with the developer to address these issues within the <br />preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Commissioner Curtis asked what the next steps were for this project. Community Development <br />Director Sevald explained staff would be having a similar conversation with the Park <br />Commission. After this meeting, staff would begin working on a zoning map amendment and <br />comprehensive plan amendment. <br /> <br /> <br />7.
