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

After this meeting, staff would begin working on a zoning map amendment and comprehensive plan amendment. 7. Approval of Minutes April 19, 2023.
