MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION Regular Meeting Page-S------------------------------------------------------------------March-19j_1980 Skiba stated his concerns had been answered. 6. PRELIMINARY CONCEPT REVIEWAL P.U.D. McCarthy questioned the feasibility of the office (continued) buildings on the marginal land above County Road 1. Further, where would the existing ponded water drain to. Boxrud, of Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, stated that the area would drain to the lake and that there was capacity for the 260 acre drainage district to meet the require- ments of Resolution #983 with the Applicant's report. McCarthy further questioned the control of Kraus - Anderson over the land they might sell to another developer. Cremers stated that Kraus -Anderson would exercise the controls of the final P.U.D. approval documents. Glazer stated he could appreciate Kraus -Anderson's effort in this two years of planning, but that this was the first Planning Commission review. Glazer asked Cremers if there was a need for elderly housing in Mounds View. .remers stated he was under the belief that there was and that financing could also be obtained. Glazer further questioned whether or not we gain storage capacity comparing the existing pond with the proposed one. Boxrud stated that the City gains storage. Glazer then asked if, with the enlargement of the pond, the nutrient balance needs would stay the same. Boxrud stated that he thought there would be adequate vegetation around the perimeter of the pond but that if the DNR or RCWD wanted more, the City could just require less excavation in certain areas. Further discussion centered around the need for open space and the feeling that the proposed Take/pond met that requirement. Mountin questloned the feasibility of the swimming beach. Rose referred to S.E.H.'s report stating that there were a number of factors. The final plan for the lake and beach should be planned in the P.U.D. process. Boxrud added that an additional study may be necessary, de- pending on how the proposal is changed by outside agencies, if at all. Haake questioned the need for a beach with Spring Lake so near. The zoning of the middle 22.9 residential noted acres was asked. Cremers stated that he would be willing to go medium density. Haake felt that at this time maybe everything should be noted R-1. Council member Forslund spoke and asked that the liilo Planning Commission give the Applicant direction so that he can continue.
