NORTHCREST PARK INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOP -
MENT GENERAL CONCEPT PLAN
Bill Beim of Pinecrest Properties stated that it was very difficult to define a P.U.D.
(Planned Unit Development) and that this was both his and the City's first experience
with one. The area to be developed would include apartments, office /warehouse, office,
motel office, retail commercial and restaurants commercial.
Mr. Aslanidis stated the Comprehensive Plan suggested a P.U.D., with a mixture of
uses and provides a tool to work with. Mr. Aslanidis stated that a median cut on
Highway 10 between County Road H and County Road H2 would minimize the traffic that
would exit onto H2. He also stated that the planned curb cuts on H2 had been cut to
four from eight, at the request of the Planning Commission.
They have checked the drainage plan with Short,Elliot, Hendrickson and Associates.
The drainage pond is proposed to collect water from the area, on the south side and
a smaller holding pond might be developed on the east side. They will have a better
idea once Rice Creek has approved the plan.
Mayor Pickar stated that the plan is up for approval of the concept and that a public
hearing would be held again and that the Council is just to act upon the concept tonight
Lucille Miller, 5287 Raymond asked how many apartment buildings would be put up on H2.
Mr. Asianidis replied a total of 129 units were planned, and they were not certain
yet how many buildings that would involve.
Mrs. Miller asked if the City had not at one time said there would be no more apart-
ment buildings allowed in Mounds View. Mayor Pickar replied that yes, the City had
said they would not rezone any more property. However, the property in question is
already zoned for apartments.
Mrs. Miller asked if duplexes could be built instead. Mr. Aslanidis replied that duplexes
were a possibility but that it all depended upon the market requirements in the future
and that apartments were planned.
