FIA MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Planning Technician Harrington'�(� DATE: October 11, 1990 SUBJECT: HIGHWAY 10 MORATORIUM The City of Mounds View passed an interim ordinance establishing a moratorium on development in a designated district within the City which commenced on April 24, 1989. This moratorium was to last one year. The primary purpose of the interim ordinance was to allow the City sufficient time to complete its planning process and determine what changes, if any, needed to be made to the Comprehensive Plan. However, the end of the one-year period, it was determined that an extension to the moratorium would be necessary. Therefore, the ordinance was extended six months, commencing April 24, 1990. This brings us to the present and the need to address the issue once again. The moratorium is scheduled to lapse October 24, 1990. Acting Clerk -Administrator Minetor and I have been reviewing the City files in order to determine what action, if any, should be taken on the ordinance. Our review seems to indicate that a majority of the concern revo.'.res around the former R-Gas gas station and the adjoining property to the immediate west (see attached City map, Exhibit 1). With the information available, we have formulated three possible courses of action: Reduce the moratorium district immediately north of Highway 10 Road (Exhibit 2). Allow the ordinance to lapse. 3. Extend the ordinance 90 days. at in to only include the area and west of Groveland It should be pointed out that neither myself nor Mr. Minator were involved in this matter from the beginning, and it is quite possible that certain relevant facts have been over- looked on our part. However, from our discussions and review of the situation, these are the alternatives which appear to exist. Staff is asking for Council's direction on this matter. PAH/BAB Attachments
