Amos REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 2 OUVADS 92-448WS 12-30-92 STAFF REPORT Report Number: ni Re MY ort Date: AGENDA SESSION DATE January 4, I 993` p DISPOSITION Item Description: Continued Discussion Regarding Property Adjacent to Bel-Rae Administrator's Review/Recommendation: �t, - No comments to supplement this report tv.Cb - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Terry Moses, representing the owners of the property located immediately South of the Bel-Rae, will be attending the Monday Evening meeting to discuss the future use of the aforementioned property. This item was briefly discussed by the Council at the December 14, 1992 Meeting. At that time, Council decided to table discussion until the January Work Session. Following the meeting of the 14th, Jerry Blanchard (former City Clerk) and Phyllis Blanchard (former Planning Commission and current City Council member) met with City Staff to respond to the claims being made in the letter submitted by Mr. Moses. Their comments are included for your review. Mr. Moses has submitted a number of documents outlining the condition and history of the property. Because of the quantity and size of the documents, staff has put them into a folder next to the City Council boxes in the event the Council wishes to review them. Included is a copy of a letter which was received as part of the items submitted by Mr. Moses. If there are any additional questions I can answer for you, please call. Paul Harrington, Ci - Planner RECOMMENDATION; TO: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: MICHELE SEVERSON, ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY DATE: DECEMBER 16, 1992 RE: MEETING WITH PHYLLIS AND JERRY BLANCHARD REGARDING HISTORY OF PROPERTY SOUTH OF THE BEL-RAE BALLROOM Per your direction, I met with Phyllis and Jerry Blanchard on Tuesday, December 15, 1992, to obtain information from them regarding the history of the property south of the Bel-Rae _- - Ballroom. Please find that information below. Please note that Phyllis and Jerry's responses are in italics. These responses are from the best of Phyllis and Jerry's recollection and knowledge. 1940 & 1958 - Aerial photographs, which are used extensively in determining and monitoring wetlands, show a small ditch running through the property, not a wetland. (see documents #3 & 4, & per government aerial photo expert) Prior to April 2 of 1958 you could get a lot split by just presenting it to the City. Work on beginning the Comprehensive Plan started in 1959. How did he get zoning in 1958? 1958 - The owner requested rezoning to B-3 to accommodate a planned shopping center, citing the need for shopping facilities in Mounds View. This was a reasonable request, not spot zoning or something that would not have been anticipated on a State highway. The City rejected his request, citing lack of a thoroughfare, the existence of other sites more favorable to shopping center development, and potential devaluation of nearby residential property. (see documents #5, 6 & 7) Letter is addressed to Planning Commission, the city had a planning committee but no Planning Commission in August of 1958 . Again, the Comprehensive Plan had not yet been adopted. With regards to the letter from Martha Irvine (#6) , Jerry believes she was never a Clerk here but, perhaps served on the City Council . 1960 or 1961 - City extended Edgewood Drive through to Highway 10, as gravel road, changing it from a cul-de-sac to a through street. City government complex was begun. Jerry believed Edgewood Drive was extended as an access to the Bel-Rae Ballroom. (Should have Engineer or someone check to see when and why it was extended - maybe in Planning Commission minutes.) It is questionable if there was a cul-de-sac, Jerry believed it was just a turn around or a "place to park" . 1964 - Without request from the owner, the City changed the zoning to B-3 (per City records) 1964 - City installed storm sewer in Edgewood Drive (see documents #8 thru 8.0, 11 and 14 1964, 1965, and 1966 - The owner gave the City various use and access easements ($1.00 apiece) for storm sewer projects on this and other property in Mounds View, in return for assurance of continued storm water drainage from this property (see documents #8 - 8.o) Jerry feels that Mr. Moses is using terminology of storm sewer incorrectly to confuse the issue. Document 8b clearly states sanitary sewer system. 8d is a drainage easement. Where Mr. Moses makes reference to storm sewer projects, the attached documents read as follows: 8g - refers to surface water drainage 8i - referred to as a drainage easement 8j - temporary construction easement for proposed public improvement 8n -. highway easement 80 - sanitary sewer easement These make no reference to storm sewer projects. Attachment No. 9 are minutes of the February 23, 1965 Council Meeting where Bud Ramacher, owner of the Bel-Rae, explained his sewage problem to the Council and requested the Village to assist him in obtaining an outlet. Mr. Ramacher has no sewer system at this time. 1965 - Survey shows elevation of storm sewer catch basin providing drainage for the property (see document #14) . Attachment 14 shows manhole height - 901.4 and how it is supposed to drain. Not a storm sewer. Compared to what - the area? 1965 City Council at Public Hearing voted to vacate Edgewood Drive cul-de-sac as well as ditch and drainage easements over the property, and agreed to provide drainage for property with existing storm sewer. Ramsey District Court affirmed the above vacations and agreements. (see documents #9, 10, 11 and 12) The only reason a storm sewer was installed was for a back flush. This storm sewer was not done specifically to drain the area but it did help provide drainage. Attachment 12 gives the title back to Midland Construction. The ditch was no longer needed. 1965 & 1966 - Milner W. Carley & Associates, former Village Engineers for Mounds View, designed a retail/motel/restaurant facility for the property, with no indication of wetland area (see documents #15, 16 and 17 and 20) Attachment #15 is a letter dated October 16, 1953 (five years prior to the incorporation of a City, 6 or 7 years prior to a Planning Committee formation and 30 years prior to Storm Water/Ponding) . This letter makes no reference to this property. 1967 - City finished Edgewood Drive over the property (without obtaining right-of-way to this day) , making it a paved through- street. While finishing Edgewood, the City changed the storm sewer drainage outlet and cut off all drainage for the property (documents #14, 18, 19 and actual measurements) There always was a culvert for drainage. City took away ditch and installed not a storm sewer drainage but a "culvert" . (someone should check the minutes for February 23, 1965 or the entirety of document 486147) Attachment 14 is a manhole agreed to by him (owner) , attachment 18 is a photocopy of an altered document and attachment 19 needs definition - not clear what document is trying to show. 1968 - The City notified the owner that, if he didn't obtain a building permit within 90 days, the property would revert back to R-1 zoning. (see document #20) This document seems okay and correct. 1972 - The City conducted a vigorous campaign to attract commercial development to the site, advertising a comprehensive plan showing the property guided for business or shopping center, and highlighting the property as undeveloped. It asked for the owner's help in this effort (see documents #21 thru 27) True statements. 1975 & 1976 - City's Comprehensive Plan changed the owner's property to Medium and High Density Housing while changing the parcel behind it (away from Highway 10) to Highway Commercial, which made no sense (see documents #29 thru 37) Somewhere between 1968 and 1972 the property was changed back to B3 . Apparently in 1975 the property was zoned medium to high density. Attachment 30 is amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is only a tool and doesn't reference his property specifically. The Comprehensive Plan is no more than a "wish list" . Attachment 33 is just an agreement to use the land for the bicentennial . The owner was sent a thank you. 1982 - Over the owner's objections, the City designated more than twice the amount, that Rice Creek Watershed District required, as wetland, and imposed substantial additional restrictions, including 100 foot setbacks from the wetland, virtually eliminating any possibility of development (see documents #38 and 39) Refer to Wetland Ordinance 1982 - The owner proposed a liquor store and cheese shop for the site. The City staff strongly discouraged this, giving an extensive list of possible obstacles (real and imagined) , saying for example (1) that although the zoning allowed a dairy store, the City didn't think that a cheese shop would qualify, and (2) that the City would soon be considering changes to the zoning, insinuating that the comprehensive plan and possible future changes, rather than the existing zoning, controlled the use of the property. Also given to the owner was yet another change to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The tenants backed out of the agreements to lease the property. (see documents #40 thru #43) See attachments 41 and 42 where John Johnson just baffles them with " " . 1983 - City drainage project for St. Stephens Street, planned to drain into subject property as solution. (see document #44) Attachment 44 is a newspaper article. If newspaper article is true. ??. 1983 - Owner met with City regarding St. Stephens street drainage onto his property (see document #45) The only record is the owner's notes. Nothing concrete. 1983 - City changed ordinance for property at County Road J and 85th Avenue at owner John Miller's request, reducing wetland designation (see document #46) Does not pertain to his property. 1985 - Aerial photograph shows change in character of subject property (see document #47) All property changes, mine did too. 1986 - The owner had a short term opportunity to have clean fill brought to the site at a nominal cost of twenty cents per cubic yard (typical rates today are $5. 00 per yard) . He approached the City for permission and was told by the Director of Public works/Community Development that he (the Director) would propose it to the City and give it his total support. To the owner's misfortune, no such support for the permit was given. To the contrary, the Director did not recommend it and, instead, the owner was given a list of requirements so extensive it would have taken months to fulfill. Among them were requirements to get plan approval for and then install the storm sewer inlet that the City had wrongfully eliminated previously, a bonded development agreement, a revised wetland and flood plain map, the granting of easements to the City that the City had previously neglected to get for building Edgewood Drive and storm sewers, and a second hearing before the City Council. On top of the 12 requirements, at the last minute, the owner was informed that he would have to agree to remove the fill at any time the City might later request it. No permit was issued and the City kept the owner's $405.00 permit fee. The supplier couldn't wait any longer and it turned out to be just another expensive lost opportunity for the owner. (see documents #48 thru 52) These are standard requirements for any property that is changing grade levels. Where is the request for the inlet that he talks about? 1988 & 1989 - The Ramsey County Assessor tried to assess the property at $261,000 (1988) and $406, 100 (1989) but when the owner pointed out the wetland condition and classification, along with the restrictions, the valuations were changed to $75, 800 and $132,700 respectively (see documents #53 thru 64) Tax dollars saved. 1989 - City announced another plan to use subject property to solve its drainage problems (see document #65) Another newspaper article. . .check on ownership of property "behind" Bel-Rae 1992 - Mounds View, without prior notice, began billing the owner at the rate of over $600 per year for lighting. The owner can only wonder why he needs to provide lighting for a wetland, what benefit this expense affords him, and what will be next (see document #66) • Only one quarter billing with a late charge. . . 1992 - City gave Harstad variance. City officials said "He bought the property years ago prior to the City's adoption of a wetlands ordinance in 1982. He didn't create the buffer. The City did. What we're talking about is a line on a drawing that we made. " (see document #67) Not applicable, that's Harstad property. City changed wetland for owner John Forsberg. City officials said, "The wetland was originally decided by a contour line on a map. More or less, it was an arbitrary decision. " (see document #67a) Not applicable, that's Forsberg property. The City, over the years, has alternately discouraged, then encouraged, private development or improvement of the property. (see documents #6, 16, 17, 20, 21 thru 27, 38 thru 43 and 48 thru 52) That's progress, part of zoning. Records indicate that Mounds View has long-standing extensive and specific plans for the use of the property for its drainage system and possible for its park and recreation. The City has repeatedly refused, for every-changing reasons, to allow development or improvement this property, dating back to 1958) . (see documents #6, 30, 31, 32, 33, 37, 44, 65 and 68 thru 84) The property is now designated "wetland" with restrictions on development and usage, which has severely affected the salability. At the same time the value and potential use of the property to the owner have been reduced, the benefits and potential use to the City have been increased. (see document #1, City's Wetland Ordinance, and previous paragraph) No comment. In summary, the City has created a wetland, on wrongly designated as wetland, wrongly placed restrictions on, discouraged the development of, and has made plans for the use of, the owner's property. It has successfully prevented private use of the property, and made it useful only to the City. State and federal laws do not allow wetland designation on private property to increase public use thereof, nor do they allow public "taking" of private property without just compensation, yet Mounds View has done both. The owner would like the City to buy the property. City will have to buy the property if Surface Water Management Plan is implemented. IN SUMMARY (Jerry Blanchard) The property owner feels it is worth more than it is. He indicates its great value everywhere other than to do with the taxes. If he'd sell for $53K, we should buy. Mr. Blanchard further commented that he would not talk to Mr. Moses unless the City Attorney was present.

Water is pumped from six underground wells, treated, stored in an above ground reservoir and a water tower, and distributed to customers on demand. In 1992 the City constructed a new 500,000 gallon elevated water tower which replaced two older water towers. The new tower is adjacent to City Hall and provides all the necessary elevated storage required in the water system. The City also constructed a new filtration plant during 1992 and placed it in operation. The City's two-other filtration plants will be remodeled to improve the quality of filtration and to provide the most cost effective treatment of the City's drinking water. The City owns and operates this system. Costs of operation of the Water Utility are recovered from users in the form of user fees. The policy of the City is to operate the Water Utility on a break-even basis. Water user fees are reviewed annually as to their adequacy to recover costs of operating the Water Utility. • • •O CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW • WATER FUND EXPENSES DEBT 32.8% DEBT 31.5% CAPITAL 5.3% CAP 4.8% •MAINT 3.0% %' MAI MAINT 1.7% �i� :;: >�';`• '`�'%; .

Overall expenses of the Water Fund are projected to decrease 4.15% in 1993 over 1992 budgeted expenses. : i This decrease is a result of several factors. Operations expenses will increase just 0.67% in 1993; Capital Outlay will decrease by 22.27%; Debt Service will decrease by 5.27%; and Maintenance will decrease by 45.45%. The commentary below will discuss these changes in detail. Operations consists of administration, utility billing and collections, and the pumping, treating, and distribution of water to the users of the utility. Personnel costs represent 45.55% of the operating costs of the water utility. As indicated in the chart below 4.41 full time equivalent positions are budgeted for 1993. This is an increase of 0.12 full time equivalent positions from 1992. Budgeting the Division Secretary at 40 hours per week (split with.the Sewer Utility) for 1993 compared to 30 in 1992 accounts for the increase. Staff proposes this to further remove clerical duties from the maintenance workers and to allow them to concentrate their efforts on maintenance activities. i SCHEDULE OF FULL & PART-TIME EMPLOYEES • 1992 1993 Director of Public Works/City Engineer 0.33 0.33 Public Works Foreman 0.33 0.33 Engineering Aide 0.50 0.50 Division Secretary 0.38 0.50 Utility Accountant 0.50 0.50 Accounting Clerk 0.25 0.25 Maintenance Workers 2.00 2.00 Total 4.29 4.41 Materials and supplies are 7.80% of the operating costs of the water utility. The materials and supplies budget for 1993 is 6.50% less than that of 1992. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in chemical usage at the new treatment plant compared to the old plant. The City no longer needs to use potassium permanganite, an expensive chemical, in the treatment process. Contractual services are 23.10% of the operating costs of the water utility. Budgeted contractual services for 1993 are 13.83% less than the amount budgeted for 1992. Electrical costs have been reduced for 1993 by adopting interruptible service which is available from NSP at a significant discount over regular rates. This was made • possible by the purchase of a standby generator which began operating in 1992. Natural gas costs are expected to remain relatively stable as there will be less reliance on the gas fueled well pump during 1993. Professional services has been reduced significantly as a result of the State Department of Health performing lead and copper testing of drinking water which is paid from the $5.21 annual water connection fee the City has been mandated to collect from customers of the City Water Utility. Depreciation expense is approximately the same as that budgeted for 1992. The policy of the Council is to budget depreciation expense only on assets acquired with funds of the Water Utility. No depreciation is budgeted on assets acquired from contributions. The City's assets acquired from contributions are mostly water mains which were financed by special assessments to benefitted properties. The City's policy is to use that method of financing for the replacement of those assets. Capital Outlay is budgeted at $37,250. This is $10,670 less than the $47,920 budgeted in 1992. The amount budgeted for Capital Outlay may vary greatly from year to year and is dependent on the item(s) being replaced. Capital Outlay items are based upon: 1) a Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Plan adopted by the Council and updated on an annual basis, and 2) upon the City's Long Term Water & Sewer Systems Maintenance and Capital Improvements Plan adopted in 1983. A • schedule of budgeted 1992 Capital Outlay items is provided below. Further details may be found in the Capital Improvements Budget.

Maintenance expense may vary considerably from year to year pursuant to the City's Long Term Water & Sewer Systems Maintenance and Capital Improvements Plan adopted in 1983. The Plan advocates a proactive vs reactive approach to system maintenance in the belief that preventive maintenance is the least expensive option over the long term. Major activities include: a well inspection and preventive maintenance of its pumping equipment. Debt Service costs of $222,578 have been budgeted for 1993 and represent annual debt service on a $1.5 million bond issue for system improvements. During the Fall of 1989 and early Winter of 1990, the consulting engineering firm of Short Elliott Hendrickson performed a study of the City's utility system which evaluated system capacity, future needs and construction/improvement costs associated with the projected needs. This engineering study concluded that to provide for the future needs of users of the water system through the year 2000 the City should: 1) upgrade its water treatment plants, 2) redevelop a well and install a generator at the ground reservoir to provide a back-up system of filling the water tower in the event of a power failure. To complement the Engineering Study, the City engaged the certified public accounting firm of Voto Tautges Redpath & Co., LTD to evaluate alternatives for financing the improvements recommended by the Consulting Engineering.Firm and to project water rate requirements over a five year period. The Accountant's Report • proposed a revenue bond issue of $1.5 million to finance the improvements recommended by the City's consulting engineer. Water rate increases averaging 6% annually would be necessary to meet debt service costs and operating expenses over the five year period for which projections were made. Present water rates of $1.05 per 1,000 gallons of water used would not have been sufficient to pay for increased operations costs and debt service in 1993. The Utility Study mentioned above recommends that the 1993 water rate be set at $1.10 per 1,000 gallons of water used. That rate will allow the Water Fund a projected net income of $5,989 for 1993. • • • CITY MOUNDS VIEW WATER RATES OF ._____ . „.

The City performs maintenance on sewer mains located within the City. Sewage is transferred from City mains to interceptor mains owned by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) and is then transported to the MWCC waste water treatment plant in St. Paul. The MWCC bills the City for sewage treatment costs. Costs of operating the Sewer Utility are paid by City residents and businesses in the form of user fees. It is the policy of the City to operate the Sewer Utility on a break-even basis. Sewer use fees are reviewed annually as to their adequacy to _ recover the costs of operating the Sewer Utility. CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW SEWER FUND EXPENSES • • CPS-CITY 30.4% OPS-CITY 27.5% MAINT 2.7% MAINT 1.8% CAPITAL 3.2% // OEPREC 2.1% j CAPITAL 17. � \ //jam \ DEPREC 2.1 • OPS-MWCC St.6% OPS-MWCC 51.5% 1991 1992 A comparison of 1993 budgeted Sewer Fund expenses to 1992 expenses is presented in the chart below. Total expenses of the Sewer Fund are expected to increase by 16.11% compared to 1992 expenses. This increase is the result of several factors. Capital Outlay is increasing dramatically ($153,270) due to the replacement of the sewer jet rodder. City . operating costs will increase modestly: 4.80%. Operations consists of administration, utility billing and collections, collection of sewage and its transfer from City sewer mains to the interceptor mains of the • MWCC, and the payment of sewage treatment costs to the MWCC. Personnel costs represent 21.57% of the operating costs of the Sewer Utility. As indicated in the chart below, 4.41 full time equivalent positions are budgeted for 1993. This is an increase of 0.12 full time equivalent positions from 1992. Budgeting the Division Secretary at 40 hours per week (split with the Water Utility) for 1993 compared to 30 hours per week in 1992 accounts for the increase. Staff proposes this to further remove clerical duties from the maintenance workers and to allow them to concentrate their efforts on maintenance activities. SCHEDULE OF FULL & PART-TIME EMPLOYEES 1992 1993 Director of Public Works/City Engineer 0.33 0.33 Public Works Foreman 0.33 0.33 Engineering Aide 0.50 0.50 Division Secretary 0.38 0.50 Utility Accountant 0.50 0.50 Accounting Clerk 0.25 0.25 Maintenance Workers 2.00 2.00 Total 4.29 4.41 • Materials and supplies are 1.99% of the operating costs of the Sewer Utility. The materials and supplies budget for 1993 is 19.92% less than that of 1992. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in equipment supplies as a result of the remodeling of the Bronson Drive lift station and updates at the Groveland Road lift station. In addition fewer repair parts have been budgeted for the sewer jet rodder as the purchase of a new unit has been proposed for 1993. Contractual Services are 67.60% of the operating costs of the Sewer Utility. Budgeted contractual services for 1993 are 2.24% less than the amount budgeted for 1992. Sewage disposal costs paid to the MWCC are scheduled to decrease by 2.73% in 1993. The cost of sewage treatment is expected to increase by 3.85% in 1993. The decrease in the overall bill is a result of a decrease in the estimated amount of sewage to be treated during 1993 and a credit for an overbilling in 1991. The MWCC estimated the City's 1991 sewage treatment costs on the basis of 505 million gallons whereas actual was 494 million gallons. The resultant credit of $35,018 from this overbilling is reflected on the 1993 estimated billing. In addition, less electrical usage has been budgeted as a consequence of the remodeling of the Bronson Drive lift station and the update of the Groveland Road lift station. • Depreciation expense is 20.64% greater than that of 1992. Depreciation expense has • increased due to the final payment on the City's cold storage building being made in 1991 and the Sewer Utility's share of depreciation on it. The policy of the Council is to budget depreciation expense only on assets acquired with funds of the Sewer Utility. No depreciation is budgeted on assets acquired from contributions. The City's assets acquired from contributions are mostly sewer mains which were financed by special assessments to benefitted properties. The City's policy is to use that method of financing for the replacement of those assets. Capital Outlay is budgeted at $183,489. This is $153,270 more than the $30,219 budgeted in 1992. The amount budgeted for Capital Outlay may vary greatly from year to year and is dependent on the item(s) being replaced. Capital Outlay items are based upon: 1) a Vehicle and Equipment Plan adopted by the Council which is updated annually and 2) upon the City's Long Term Water & Sewer Systems Maintenance and Capital Improvements Plan adopted in 1983. The major Capital Outlay item for 1993 is a new sewer cleaning truck. This piece of equipment is used forpreventative maintenance cleaning as well as the opening of obstructed sewer lines. The net price of the unit is $165,000 after the trade in of the old unit. A schedule of all budgeted Capital Outlay items is provided below.

Maintenance expense may vary considerably from year to year pursuant to the City's Long Term Maintenance and Capital Improvements Plan. The plan advocates a proactive vs reactive approach to system maintenance in the belief that preventative maintenance is the least expensive option over the long term. Major activities for 1993 include: sewer main and manhole rehabilitation. The City engaged the certified public accounting firm of Voto Tautges Redpath & Company, LTD to project sewer rate requirements over a five year period. The Accountant's Report concluded that annual sewer rate increases of 4% would be required to operate the Sewer Utility in a break-even basis. Ao rate of $43.00 per0 Residential Equivalent Connection (REC) is recommended for 1993 to enable the Sewer Utility to.break-even.

Located a short distance North of Interstate 694 and adjacent to Interstate 35W, Mounds View's accessibility to the entire metropolitan region makes it attractive to both commercial and residential development. The primary element that affects all potential development within the City is Highway 10. This limited access freeway bisects the City and creates two very distinct subareas . The heavy use of Highway 10 and a series of very poor intersections make crossing it a difficult task for vehicular traffic and, a nearly impossible one for pedestrian or bicycle traffic. On the periphery, the City is bounded by two major freeway branches: New Highway 10 and Interstate 35W. Both of these roadways have controlled access points which benefits the City by providing fast and orderly movement of traffic to all areas of the community. Negative effects of these two major arterials are .that they tend to create barriers to free movement by pedestrians to adjacent communities and, a tremendous amount of noise is generated by each. Residential neighborhoods, by nature, require a certain degree of privacy and isolation. In the past, Mounds View has been very responsive to the needs of these residential areas and took steps to prevent the location of uses of a higher intensity which would tend to depreciate the value of the neighborhood unit as a whole. The established low density character of these residential neighborhoods should be maintained through the introduction of transitional zones between uses which are not compatible. Other considerations to the overall development of the community should include defining industrial activity areas, protection of environmentally sensitive lands adjacent to commercial and industrial uses, and, when possible, the preservation of valuable wetland area at the time of any "fill-in" development. CHAPTER 1 NATURAL RESOURCES Introduction The fundamental focus of the Natural Resource Plan is to maintain and manage the environmental attributes of the City of Mounds View. Included in this list of attributes would be slopes, soils, wetlands, flood plains and all forms of natural vegetative cover found within the City. "Open space preservation", as referenced in this Chapter, shall refer to those areas either covered or directly impacted by flood plains, drainage basins or City delineated wetlands. It is the intent of this Chapter to emphasize the importance of limiting the effects of development on these areas. Water and air quality, as well as the burden of noise on humans, are other key elements of this Chapter. Already, the effects of man have been felt by Mounds View's only natural open body of water - Spring Lake. Additionally, an ever-increasing level of noise pollution is being generated by the rising capabilities of the Anoka County - Blaine Airport (Jane's Field) . The impact of man and development on the Mounds View environment is evident. For that reason, it is imperative that certain guidelines be followed to help prevent further damage to this extremely fragile commodity. Goals and Policies Goal 1: Ensure that all development is compatible with natural environment features of the City. Policies: a. Review all development within environmentally sensitive areas to insure that relevant issues are fully understood by the general public. b. Require the dedication of environmentally sensitive areas (where feasible) for Park and Recreation use. c. Make topography, soil and vegetation major considerations in the review of any development within the City. Goal 2: Provide adequate protection through the implementation of land use development guidelines to maintain the environmental balance between natural and man-made physical features . Policies: a. Regulate the development or expansion of any site within the City where environmental damage may result. Goal 3: Protect the quality of Mounds View's natural vegetation against disease and destruction. Policies: a. Design and implement programs to protect Mounds View's Oak and Elm trees through disease control. b. Design programs to replace diseased trees, and tree loss due to construction or natural causes, with a variety of tree species. Goal_ 4 Strive to eliminate or reduce air, water and noise pollution. Policies: a. Elements such as air pollutants, noise, noxious weeds, soil erosion and water pollutants shall be controlled by performance standards . b. Monitor and deal with noise generated by air and vehicular traffic. PLAN Soils and Slopes The vast majority of land within the City of Mounds View has a moderate limitation classification for development. Development in these areas would result in no significant negative environmental impacts . Of those areas where the soil has been classified as severely limited, only a small amount of development has, or should, occur. Provisions for soil testing and protection of steep slopes are addressed in the Mounds View Municipal Code and are enforced as part of subdivision and construction development review by City Staff. Vegetation A main focus of the Mounds View forestry program is the disposal and replacement of trees affected by Dutch Elm Disease or Oak Wilt. Trees which are not removed or treated shall be declared public nuisances and removed by the City which may assess the costs of removal to the affected property. An emphasize should be put on selecting a variety of species when replacement programs are enacted. Noise Mounds View is affected by two primary sources of noise: the Anoka- County Blaine Airport and vehicular traffic . The Metropolitan Airport Commission has determined that the noise generated by the airport operation is disruptive to residents in the immediate area. At the local level, the City can reduce the impacts of noise on the residents through the following actions: * Enforce acceptable noise standards and encourage the abatement of noise generators . * Incorporate noise criteria into the planning and review process of the community development program. * Where applicable, incorporate certain architectural designs to combat objectional levels of noise. The Minnesota Department of Transportation, as part of the realignment and upgrade of County Road J, has installed noise barriers on that part of the Northern boundary of the City which will be directly affected by the anticipated increase in traffic volumes on new Highway 10. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Soil and Slope conditions should be taken into consideration in all development proposals. 2 . To the extent possible, Mounds View should continue to remove and replace all diseased trees. 3 . The City should continue to protect those land uses which are adversely impacted by their proximity to the airport through the use of noise abatement measures . CHAPTER 2 LAND USE INTRODUCTION Mounds View's development as a bedroom suburb of both Minneapolis and St. Paul has been directly affected over the past 40 years by its strategic location along the I-35W corridor. In addition to it's location along this major transportation arterial, Mounds View has benefited from the location of employment centers further out from the central business districts of Minneapolis and St. Paul. _This combination--of- accessibility and proximity to employment nodes will lead to continued residential growth in Mounds View in the foreseeable future. The majority of this future residential growth will come in the form of "fill-in" development or will be integrated into transition or buffer zones adjacent to commercial properties. While residential development has grown at a fairly consistent rate, commercial development within the City of Mounds View has fluctuated with market demand. The location of a number of regional commercial centers close to Mounds View has created a very competitive scenario in which the City must now compete. Transportation flow within the City also seems to have played a role in Mounds View's commercial development. Highway 10, which bisects the City in an East-West direction, serves as a regional transportation link. However, with no major road of regional importance crossing it within the City limits, its attractiveness to major commercial retail developers is somewhat tempered. The anticipated completion of New Highway 10 on the Northern boundary of the City will tend to cause a de-emphasis on Highway 10 and lead to it functioning as a "main street" for the City. Industrial growth within the City of Mounds View has always been very difficult to gauge or predict. Fluctuating market conditions and the potential for harmful effects on the natural environment have made the incorporation of industrial development into the overall City plan challenging. An organized promotional effort to attract new, quality industrial development into the City should lead to a steady rate of proposals from which to choose. GOALS AND POLICIES Goal 1: Develop a land use scheme which leads to compatibility among activities and uses. Policies: a. Relate land use development to established development and community priorities. b. Analyze all development proposals individually to determine their appropriateness within the development district and the community as a whole. ' c . Allow for transition or buffer zones between distinctly differing types of land uses. d. preserve and protect property values . Goal 2: Discourage development which is not accompanied by supportive services and facilities. Policies: a. Ensure that land use development addresses the potential need for increased utilities, parking, police and fire protection, etc. b. Ensure that major residential, commercial or industrial developments have reasonable access to major thoroughfares . Goal 3: Preserve and improve the quality and appearance of existing residential neighborhoods . Policies: a. Compatibility with surrounding residential land uses shall be a major consideration of any proposed development of significant size. b. Low density neighborhoods shall be maintained and preserved by preventing\minimizing the encroachment of higher use types . c . Continue yearly housing maintenance inspections to ensure the quality of housing stock remains high. d. Protect residential neighborhoods from excessive amounts of vehicular through traffic . e. Where necessary, through public or private means, take part in rehabilitation and\or redevelopment of substandard housing units. f. Strictly limit or prohibit commercial land uses within established residential districts. Goal 4: Deal with the use of land and residential development in a creative and innovative manner. Policies: a. Encourage the use of buffer zones between differing densities of residential housing. b. Consider all innovations in subdivision design including cul-de-sac and loop streets . c. Recognize that the City must be willing to adapt to current trends in all land use planning. d. Limit access to major streets and roads to the periphery of residential neighborhoods. e. Create and maintain land use districts within the City based upon physical and man-made barriers. Goal 5: View commercial development as a vehicle for the expansion of tax and employment bases within the City. Policies: a. Maintain and expand the City's commercial tax base in order to reduce the dependance upon residential ' taxes to pay for essentialservices. __ ____ b. Direct commercial development within the City to insure that it becomes an asset rather than a liability. c . Encourage those commercial activities which are complimentary to existing land uses and facilitate their implementation into the overall plan of the City. Goal 6: Through staff review, provide for safe, attractive and accessible commercial development within Mounds View. Policies: a. Develop commercial properties as cohesive units with adequate off-street parking facilities. b. Insure that commercial developments are adequately buffered from adjacent residential properties. c . The location of commercial developments shall be subject to review to insure their compatibility the adjoining neighborhood, land use and traffic circulation pattern. d. Where possible, access to major commercial centers shall be limited to major streets or roadways. e. Pedestrian access to and within commercial centers shall be provided when feasible. f. To the extent possible, the City shall cooperate with existing and potential commercial development in creating site plans which address ingress and egress, parking and landscaping. g. Enact City codes which provide for the maintenance of commercial properties with established City goals and policies . h. Major retail and commercial centers shall be located } in planned areas of the City. i. Neighborhood business shall be limited to those areas where the greatest benefit and least negative impact will be felt by the adjacent residential properties . j . The joint utilization of parking facilities and other essential services shall be promoted by the City in applicable situations. Goal 7 : Industrial development shall be considered an integral use in providing the City with a broad tax and employment base upon which to draw. Policies: a. Continue eplore opportunities for the expansion of theitys bas b. Cooperate with and, direct industrial developer's to insure that industrial development is viewed as an asset to the City and not a liability. c . Encourage those industrial developments which are complimentary to existing uses within the City. d. When appropriate, use all available sources of fiscal incentives to attract quality industrial development to Mounds View. Goal 8: Ensure that industrial uses are located in areas which are compatible with surrounding uses and essential services are provided for adequately. Policies: a. Be aware of the size and scope of essential services needed to service industrial uses . b. Where feasible, industrial parks shall be developed in order to minimize impact to other areas of the City. c. Access to major arterials shall be of utmost importance thereby reducing negative traffic impacts on lower class roadways. PLAN AND RECOMMENDATIONS HIGHWAY 10 CORRIDOR AND DISTRICT NARRATIVES • OLD HIGHWAY 10 CORRIDOR PLAN Old Highway 10 Corridor bisects Mounds View from southeast to northwest and includes 1000 feet on either side of the center line of the highway. (Districts along the Corridor include: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 12; refer to Figure A. ) The highway serves the community as a major east-west arterial; because of the highway's diagonal arrangement, it also serves as the north-south arterial. The Corridor itself is characterized by a mixture of land uses and has typically lacked organization and identity. Significant vegetation exists along the Corridor, intermixed with areas of vacant land and residential uses-.---- ---- However, close examination discloses the difficulty of visually determining where Mounds View begins and ends . Virtually all non-residential development and major vacant parcels of land are located within the Old Highway 10 Corridor. Thus, the opportunities for significant change are focused on this area. The high level of accessibility has attracted a number of highway and commercial uses . Figure B depicts the zoning along the Corridor. As has been noted elsewhere in this document, much of the zoning conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan for this area, particularly in reference to residential housing. The residentially planned areas have commercial zoning overlays or existing commercial use incursions . Highway and commercial zoning Districts depicted by the shaded areas in Figure C dominate the Corridor. A significant natural resource base of tree massing, wetland and open water exists within the Corridor. These provide a rein- forcement to the image Mounds View wishes to continue develop- ing. . .a City of Trees . There are several properties within the borders of the Corridor wherein use or setbacks do not conform to present standards . These particular parcels present unique problems for planning, not all of which will reach resolution in the near future. They can only be noted, addressed and planned for future conformity with zoning standards . The diagonal nature of the highway makes it an attractive arteri- al but creates significant parceling difficulties and traffic conflicts with multi-legged or non-right angle intersections and odd-shaped parcels of land. Along with this zoning and develop- ment configuration is an extensive pattern of individual lot access. These individual lot access points characterize the independent nature of the development within the Corridor as contrasted with coordinated development plans . Rev. 8/91 1 A nufiber of vacant parcels presently exist along the Corridor, presenting opportunities for multi-unit residential and/or commercial development. Any development along Highway 10 should not preclude the extension of Knollwood south of Ardan Avenue. Regardless of the ultimate land use, parcels along the Corridor will have to be established with enough depth to provide for adequate building setbacks and to effectively manage site access . At past public meetings, the neighborhoods abutting the Corridor have expressed their desire to continue residential development. Care must be exercised in accomplishing this to assure that the existing residential property owners along the Corridor are not being used as a buffer to protect the majority of residential usesbeyondtheimmediateCorridor impact area. --The -areas of----low density residential abutting commercial uses are particularly susceptible to Corridor development and is referenced in Figure D. Old Highway 10 should be viewed and planned as Mounds View's "Main Street. " As such, development within the Corridor needs to be organized and managed to reflect a positive identity for the community and, to the extent possible, one which reinforces the desired image. A plan which seeks to establish the Corridor as a regional or sub-regional trade center or collection of regionally oriented land uses is not readily supportable. The pattern of competing regional centers (Northtown, Brookdale and Rosedale shopping centers) serves the city well. The availability of sites within the city, of significant size to provide for consolidated busi- ness within a possible regional center, is also limited. Com- petition, accessibility and site capability serve to reduce the potential and desirability of structuring a major regional center here. The treatment of the Corridor as a continuous commercial highway strip development is plausible and potentially achievable. However, such an evenly treated, single-purpose District oriented to highway retail and commercial uses contradicts the overriding objective of Old Highway 10 development. That objective seeks to establish an identity and organization to the Corridor which produces a "Main Street" . . .a community-oriented environment. The creation of an Old Highway 10 Corridor and management frame- work recognizes the mutually reinforcing uses available in the area. The Corridor framework and concept of "Main Street" further suggests the categorization of the area into several distinct sectors: East Gate, City Center and West Gate. East Gate, centered on the junction of Old Highway 10 and I-35W, would serve the regional traveler and emphasize highway commercial and hospitality uses. Rev. 8/91 2 • City Center would be the core of Old Highway 10 and reinforce the existing development, creating a strong sense of center and community orientation. Uses would continue to be a mixture of public uses at the govern- ment center, along with organized community retail uses in the two retail Districts straddling the highway. The major government center, library, and community park features reinforce the community nature of the District. West Gate, located at the north-western end of Old Highway 10, presents the greatest challenge in planning as well as the greatest potential. The lack of a cohesive,__functional-plan---for theredevelopment of this portion of the city must be overcome prior to any significant advancement. The complexity of land assembly and other changes necessitates significant local government involvement, especially concerning the question of financial incentives . Public treatment, regulation and individual parcel development must blend together with a strategy to achieve a series of guidelines for the development framework: 1. Old Highway 10 should function as the City's "Main Street" and project a positive, identifiable image for • Mounds View. 2 . The existing City government offices, community parks and recreational areas should serve as the area to be identified as City Center, the focal point of the community. This component of the City would also be a suitable location for additional office park facili- ties, should the market support such expansion. 3 . Major gateways (as noted earlier) , physically marking the entrances to the community should be established as the East and West entrances to the City on Old Highway 10. 4 . The Corridor should be classified into East Gate, West Gate and City Center with appropriate regulations and investments to reinforce the differing but coordi- nated sectors . 5 . Landscape and lighting harmony should be achieved over a period of time with a coordinated program of public investments in the right-of-way and private investment on adjacent lands as development or redevelopment occurs. Rev. 8/91 3 6 . Landscape, signing and lighting guidelines should be established for the areas within and adjacent to the Corridor. 7 . Access for individual lots to Old Highway 10 should be eliminated or consolidated over time to prevent a negative impact on the traffic capacity of the Corridor and to improve the arrangement of abutting uses. 8. Land parcels, whether residential, commercial or industrial, need to be of sufficient size to relate appropriately to Old Highway 10, traffic and circula- tion considerations, the building site and their relationship-to-abutting neighborhoods . 9 . A network of pathways linking all Districts to City Center's retail, parks and other services needs to be facilitated through the creation of easements as opportunities present themselves . 10. A landscape and set-back buffer for the Corridor should be created by regulation to protect differing adjacent uses. It may be possible to use this buffer as part of an overall pathway system. Specific land use designations and site layouts are the logical next steps, keeping the following points in mind: 1. The Corridor area is in need of improvement; current commercial uses are infringing on residential areas without adequate buffering. 2 . Lot depth along Old Highway 10 needs to be in- creased to permit effective site layout and on-site traffic management. 3 . Individual lot access along the highway needs to be either consolidated or phased out and new access prohibited. 4. New development should be on a scale consistent with the neighborhoods, recognizing this may require financial assistance from government sources . Rev. 8/91 4 r .

The District straddles Old Highway 10 and encompasses the Civic Center, public library, both of the City's community parks and open space, major retail shopping and service businesses, a church, and a full range of housing options from low to high density residential, including a senior citizens apartment building. Silver View Park is—the_ predominant--land---use-comprising--nearly--52- acres, ofwhich approximately 12 acres are water. Natural features include wetlands and open water, SilverView Pond, and tree massing. A major tree massing is located along Old Highway 10 on an undeveloped parcel designated for limited business/medium density residential. These natural areas provide significant habitat to wildlife. Old Highway 10 bisects the District on an angle from southeast to northwest. Major intersections of the highway and the county roads are controlled with signal lights . A ring road concept has been introduced to provide interior access to the public and commercial uses within the mixed-use PUD. Minor arterial roads and collector streets encircle the District. A limited number of pedestrian walkways have been developed within the District, which are not yet available in other areas of the City. A significant amount of undeveloped land remains on the south side of Old Highway 10 at the east and west boundaries of the District. New development will be constrained by controlled access to Old Highway 10, wetlands, and the mixed use character of the District. Rehabilitation of housing may be needed, particularly in some of the higher density residential areas . Redevelopment of commercial uses is not expected, aside from cosmetic or store-front enhancement. Old Highway 10 has fragmented the City into two community areas, north and south. The creation of a Mounds View "main street" and continued emphasis on the Civic Center and park areas will serve to unify the City. Emphasis on the "City of Trees" theme will be particularly evident in the City Center area. Future development should be planned to create and enhance the strong focal point of the community. The Civic Center, community - parks and public library need to be linked across Old Highway 10 with signage and common landscape and lighting themes . Commercial development should be focused within the existing Mounds View Square and Silver View Plaza shopping centers . Rev. 8/91 10 The two centers provide opportunity for both limited and highway oriented retail sales and service businesses . The development of commercial uses in a highway-strip fashion may further fragment the community and is not consistent with community goals. New development in the District will be primarily limited business and/or medium density residential. Preservation of natural amenities not protected by wetland delineation should be incorporated into any new development, as well as provisions for dedication of land to a pedestrian/bicycle trail system. Access to Old Highway 10 should be limited and concentrated. Vehicular circulation should be developed according to a ring road concept to minimize conflicts between Old Highway 10 and local b_u_s i_ne s s/commer_c ial__and Civic__Center___users .____Relative_ to_general land use patterns, commercial and higher density residential development should be located in proximity to Old Highway 10, with a decrease in intensity of use occurring outward from the highway toward the lower density residential neighborhoods . Differing, abutting land uses should be buffered with open space and landscaping to minimize impact. Rev. 8/91 11 • i LB _ ).

Some high density and low density residential uses exist on the south side of the highway. Natural features, which add to the attractiveness of an area while constraining development patterns, are rather limited in District 2 . An area of wetland surrounded by a large tree massing exists in the far southwest corner. Part of this area is a nature path which was constructed with access from Woodale Drive and County Road H. Several holding ponds have been constructed in connection with the PUD on the north side of the highway and several are proposed for the south side in the PUD. There is also a small wetland area near the southeast corner. The highway bisects the District diagonally and physically divides it. However, the land uses and the industrial park lend some degree of unification to the area. The heavily traveled highway brings considerable transient and local traffic to and from Mounds View. Limited vacant land exists within this District in the form of industrial/commercial parcels . The greatest opportunity lies in the fact that this District is the East Gate of Mounds View, planned as the city's hospitality and industrial center. Some commercial building has occurred as part of the PUD, but additional land is available for development. A small wetland exists in this area as well. Property on the west end of the PUD, abutting Old Highway 10 and County Road H2 is a candidate for redevelopment, possibly as part of the larger PUD. The low density residential property on the south side of the highway in this District could afford the opportunity for redevelopment. It is imperative that primary consideration be given to limiting the impact of any development on the adjacent district(s) . • Rev. 8/91 13 W „ HC > HD m ONN aa O O c 411141•_ _ W00DALE Q O SISPD. n- L Ilkih, , U D z c (4, , .C . . / sup - f, 0 fl-oLD ce 'i-i • AMo ,i PRo ice©. , -y- - do % . 1109 o • = , IND _ _ / 11 H IH g .II Ir Il1ounds PROPOSED LAND USE NATURAL FEATURES* , LD Low Density Residential Flood Plain/Metro + w Area DesignatedIiiliF MD Medium Density Residential - - 4 Wetland pRepApm er= T.ic MH Manufactured Housing �••••••4 Steep Slopes HD High Density Residential ••••• •.• •e NC Neighborhood Commercial LB Limited Business U O Tree Massing HC Highway Commercial IND Industrial ..........

NO SCALE • 14 DISTRICT 3 District 3 is one of Mounds View's smallest districts, both in acreage and population. The District boundaries are County Road H and Rice Creek on the north, Old Highway 8 on the east, and the City of New Brighton on the south and west. The predominant use of this District is a mobile home park comprising almost half of the area. The remainder of the area is developed industrial, mostly trucking companies and warehouse space. Between the mobile home park and the industrial area is a motel fronting Old Highway 8. Access to the area is limited to Old Highway 8 . There is only one entrance (Windsor Way) to the mobile home -par--k--and-one entrance the--industrial-- development The most obvious natural feature of this area is Rice Creek which winds through a dense treed area designated as a wetland in the undeveloped northern portion. In order to preserve the natural environmental qualities of the area adjacent to Rice Creek, Ramsey County has acquired this area under the County Open Space Plan. The southwestern portion of the District, behind the industrial development also contains designated wetlands and some steep slopes . The majority of open space is owned by Ramsey County. There is minimal room for expansion within the industrial area and in the vacant lot near the motel. Redevelopment and realignment of Old Highway 8 will remain a high priority in future planning. Turn lanes into the industrial area and the mobile home park should be included in any redevelopment plan. The Rice Creek area of the District should be developed to include bicycle trails, walking paths and benches . This is the East Gate of the Old Highway 10 Corridor and should be in the forefront of future planning to reinforce its role as a focal point. However, the City should insure that any development which exists or is subsequently developed in this District does nothavean adverse impact on Rice Creek.

NO SCALD 16 { • DISTRICT 4 District 4, located in the extreme northeast corner of the City is bordered on the south and west by New Highway 10 and on the east by the City of Blaine. This District includes approximately 100 acres of land which is predominantly wetland and includes Judicial Ditch No. 1 flowing through the area. The balance of the District is comprised of an industrial development and additional property zoned for industrial use. Along with New Highway 10, the transportation needs of the District are serviced by Interstate 35W and County Road J. The realignment of County Road J, as part of the New Highway 10 development,--will-not--have--any---significant affect--on-the-traf-fic- patterns in the District. The wetlands area of the District have been designated by the City to be protected for recreational and conservancy purposes . Eventual development of the land is dependant upon the result of a study to determine the most appropriate use. Rev. 8/91 17 a —` CO -C>='' I �t IND/ . . . . . . . ii_ .0.

NO SCALL 18 DISTRICT 5 (NOTE: This district is part of the Old Highway 10 Corridor; additional planning considerations are contained in that sec- tion. ) Except for one commercial parcel and a scattering of duplexes on Old Highway 10 and County Road J, District 5 is a single family residential neighborhood, with most lots being relatively large. There are a number of older homes in what. is otherwise a newer area of the City. The topography is relatively flat, which has contributed to some significant--drainage--problems- TheDistrictis served by Groveland Park located along the south central border of the District. There is one small wetland in the District. Access is to Old Highway 10 on the south, County Road J on the north, and to Long Lake Road on the east. Traffic is very heavy on Old Highway 10, heavy on County Road J, and heavier than expected on several of the north/south through streets . A 1990 traffic study conducted by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) indicated that for Spring Lake Road, Red Oak Drive, and Groveland Road more than half of the traffic on these streets have originations and destinations outside of Mounds View. Local streets in this District appear to be serving regional transportation needs . The Airport Access Road interchange on New Highway 10 may significantly increase traffic on the previously mentioned streets, according to the study. Due to the primary north/south runway orientation, the Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field) impacts this District most significantly. Scattered vacant residential parcels exist throughout the District. The available parcels within the District are large enough to meet all current building setbacks and allow proper site access . The availability of these parcels offers the opportunity for fill-in,—low density, residential dwellings . Residents of the District have expressed their concern over transient traffic using the streets as a route to another destination. Caution should be exercised in any redevelopment to prevent further opportunities for increased traffic through the District. A number of homes within the District are in need of rehabilitation. Efforts should be made to identify any state or federal funds that may be available for improvement of these dwellings . The City would need to act as a liaison to encourage redevelopment and to aid residents in obtaining the funding. The development within the District should continue to focus on low density residential. Expansion of the commercial district is not desirable or recommended. Rev. 8/91 19 The development of County Road J and the turnback of the right- of-way to the City offers the opportunity to develop a buffer zone for the residences along County Road J. Traffic in the area needs to be monitored and caution exercised so that changes to correct the problem do not create additional problems . Comments from existing residents should be included in any decisions that may change the character and traffic patterns of the District. Rev. 8/91 20 CO RD J c c 84TH ce c AVE.

Land use along the Old Highway 10 Corridor is a mixture of single and multiple family residential, a day care facility and highway commercial. Also located in the District are two churches, one with an elementary school. There- are-no---officially-designated wetlands in the District. The topography is relatively flat which has contributed to significant drainage problems . The District is served by Hillview Park located along the eastern border of the District. Access is to Old Highway 10, County Road I on the south, and to Long Lake Road on the east. Old Highway 10 and County Road I are the major traffic impacts on the District, with noise from Old Highway 10 being a major problem. As in District 5, District 6 suffers from higher than expected traffic on the North/South through streets . Long Lake Road and Hillview Road also carry a considerable volume of traffic. The Airport Access Road interchange at New Highway 10 may significantly increase traffic on several streets . Due to the primary north/south runway orientation, the Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field) impacts this District. The District offers limited opportunities for fill-in low density residential development. A number of homes within the District are in need of rehabilitation. Efforts should be made to identify any state or federal funds that may be available for improvement of these dwellings. The City would need to act as a liaison to encourage redevelopment and to aid residents in obtaining the funding. The Old Highway 10 Corridor is a mixture of single family, medium density and high density residential as well-- as highway commercial. -Any development or redevelopment outside of the Old Highway 10 Corridor should be single family residential to maintain the primary character of the District. Any planning proposal in this area should not preclude the extension of Knollwood Drive, south of Ardan Avenue. Additional redevelopment opportunities on Old Highway 10 should be closely reviewed to minimize negative impact on the overall residential character of the District.

NO SCALE 23 DISTRICT 7 District 7 consists entirely of residential neighborhoods bounded and accessed by County Road I to the south and Long Lake Road to the west. A mobile home park and single family homes exist along the Interstate 35W corridor. A greenway has been acquired in the northwest portion of the District to serve as a buffer between New Highway 10 and residential properties. This District was one of the first large residential developments in the City. Aging residential units and the negative effects of the mobile home park makes this area a prime candidate for rehabilitation and/or redevelopment. A number of homes within the-District- are- in need of rehabilitation. - --Efforts---should be made to identify any state or federal funds that may be available for improvement of these dwellings . The City would need to act as a liaison to encourage redevelopment and to aid residents in obtaining the funding. The District is served by Greenfield, Ardan and Oakwood Parks. Located within the District are several wetlands that serve an important role in the City's Storm Water Management System. These wetlands are protected from development by the City's Wetland Zoning Ordinance. New Highway 10 and County Road I are the major traffic impacts on the District, with noise from New Highway 10 being a major problem. Long Lake Road, Hillview Road, and Quincy Street also carry a considerable volume of traffic. Due to primary north/south runway orientation, the Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field) impacts the District. The mobile home park is a permitted use due to the City's adoption of a mobile home park zone (R-5) , even though it exceeds current density standards, making it a grandfathered condition. The City should take an active role in working to lessen the impact of existing conditions within the mobile home park.

No undeveloped land remains within the District. Located on the eastern edge of the District adjacent to Inter- state 35W is a mobile home park which is a permitted use due to the City's adoption of a Mobile Home Zoning (R-5) district- even though it exceeds current density standards making it a grandfathered condition. The City should take an active role in working to lessen the impact of existing conditions within _the-mobile--home park-. - One of the City's first concentrations of duplex units is located in this District on Raymond Avenue directly adjacent to the mobile home park. These units have begun to deteriorate and are prime candidates for rehabilita- tion/redevelopment should funding sources be identified. Several non-conforming businesses are located in the northwest and southwest corners of the District. As the opportunity presents itself, these non-conforming uses should be eliminated. Pinewood Elementary School, the only public elementary school in the City, is located in the northeast corner of the District. The school's ball fields are used and maintained by the City for various recreation programs . Additionally, the school's playground is extensively used and draws visitors from the entire region. The two existing wetlands in the District are protected from development by the City's Wetland Zoning Ordinance. Topograp- hically, the District is relatively flat, however, steep slopes exist in the northeast area of the District in the Pinewood School vicinity.

The District is essentially low-density residential with the exception of two commercial properties and Edgewood Middle School. The District is served by Woodcrest and Random Parks, and features slopes, tree---massing---and- wetland areas. areas-. The majority of the housing stock is well maintained, although many homes do not meet current square footage requirements . There are also several homes requiring rehabilitation. Access to this area is via County Road H on the south and County Road H2 on the north. North-south arterial roads are Silver Lake Road to the west and Long Lake Road to the east. Traffic on Long Lake Road impacts the District significantly, especially near its intersection with Old Highway 10. Both the north and south edge of this District experience considerable east-west traffic on County Roads H and H2 as they approach Old Highway 10 and I-35W. Limited commercial opportunity exists within the District. Other than a few open lots allowing fill-in housing in various neighborhoods, there is also land on the south side of County Road H2 which is available for low density, single or multi- family housing. The low-density residential character of the District should be maintained. Rev. 8/91 28 MD -.

NO SCALE 29 DISTRICT 10 District 10 is entirely residential in character with single family homes on very large lots. A church on the north boundary and an apartment development on the east boundary are the only other land uses aside from low density residential. The location of these higher land uses reduces the intrusion of traffic into the interior of the District. Mature tree massing with dense undergrowth, slopes, wetlands and Spring Creek represents a significant share of the natural features to be found in Mounds View. The southwestern portion of the District contains a wetland area bounded by steep slopes, of which___1.6___acres have__been__designated___park___land__to__remain_ in__a natural state. The City has reserved limited easement along Spring Creek as part of a future community trail system. Future land use in the District is limited to residential, fill- in development. The character of the neighborhood, as well as wetlands and other natural features can be best preserved by single family residences on large lots. Some homes in the area are in need of rehabilitation. A district-wide clean up program is needed to reduce the hazards associated with dense under- growth. Heavily traveled county roads ring the District and therefore must be monitored and managed to control negative impacts to the area. Future street easement along the border of Fridley, a southern continuation of Pleasant View Drive, is unlikely, as there is no benefit to property on the west at this time.

NO 3CALe 31 • DISTRICT 11 District 11 is predominately comprised of single family homes built on very large lots . Two-family homes have been built along Silver Lake Road and along County Road H2 . The District contains a significant number of mature trees, as well as three small wetlands . These wetlands are privately owned and platted property, but are protected from development by the City Wetland Zoning Ordinance. The area adjacent to the southern shore of Spring Lake is a conservation, preservation, and recreation area. There is no park located within the District; the only public facility is a well house. The District is bordered on three sides by county roads; Silver Lake Road, County Road I, and County Road H2 . The fourth side is the border between the cities of Fridley and Mounds View. There are no non-conforming uses within the District, however, a former neighborhood convenience store is closed and boarded. The minor arterial roads, Silver Lake Road and County Road I, combined with the impact of the collector streets, County Road H2 and Spring Lake Road, subjects the residents of the District to a significant amount of traffic. Residents have noted at public meetings that County Road I and H2 are frequently used by large trucks as well. Except for the former neighborhood commercial site, development opportunity within the District is limited to fill-in, low density residential. Because only a few scattered parcels remain undeveloped, it does not appear that an open-space park facility can be created. The planning focus for this District is to preserve the existing low density residential nature of the area and to protect the area from negative traffic impacts. Traffic counts should be monitored and traffic management techniques employed as needed. Provisions for safe pedestrian/bicycle access to park facilities in adjacent districts should be established. The former neighborhood-commercial-site should be redeveloped as residential, at a density that the site can support without negative impact to the surrounding two-family homes .

Land use along the highway is multi-use commercial; the highest use is presently a gas station on the corner of the highway and Silver Lake Road. This District is primarily low density residential with isolated pockets of medium and high density uses. The District is served by Lakeside Park, on the north side of Spring Lake, which is jointly managed by the Lakeside Park Commission,____ _-Some tree massing appears in this area but most are contained on residential property. The predominant natural feature is a portion of Spring Lake, the only natural lake within the City's boundaries. Some commercial properties existing along Old Highway 10 are non- conforming due to setbacks and inadequate parking, which should be monitored in order to capitalize on any opportunity to align them with City codes . A few sparsely located open lots exist for fill-in residential development but the vast majority of property in this District is already developed. The present housing stock is generally in good repair. The Silver Lake area and water pipe easement along County Road I has the potential to assist in the City's plans to develop a system of pathways leading to City Center.

HO SCALE 35 CHAPTER 3 COMMUNITY FACILITIES Introduction • The Community facilities of the City of Mounds View include those lands, buildings, services and systems which are provided on a public and semi-public basis to the residents of the City. The importance of these facilities is that in most cases they provide services which are essential to the sustainment of life within the community. GOALS AND POLICIES Goal 1: Provide public facilities in a coordinated and economically prudent manner that is in the best interest of the City as a whole. Policies: a. Following thorough study, necessary public facilities shall be provided according to accepted standards. b. Public facilities shall be adequately screened, buffered or landscaped in order to minimize their impact on adjacent properties . c . Adequate water and sewer service shall be provided for all future development within the City. d. The City shall work to eliminate or convert existing overhead electrical service to underground service. e. Provide for the maintenance of facilities and services necessary to meet the needs of the community as a whole. Goal 2 : In those situations where sharing of facilities with adjoining-governmental units is economically desirable, cooperate to insure__that the needs of the community are being met. Policies: a. Planning of public facilities will be coordinated with adjacent city, county, state and federal plans for the same facilities . Goal 3: Provide for safe, easy access to all public facilities and services within the City. Policies: a. Reduce response time and provide ease of access through prudent location of public facilities. b. Require and locate easements for maintenance of public facilities according to accepted standards. Goal 4: Minimize future costs for public facilities and services by maximizing existing facilities . Policies: a. Ensure that full utilization of existing public facilities is achieved prior to making new public improvements . • Goal 5: Develop an extensive parks and open space plan to service neighborhood and community needs. Policies: a. Classification of existing and proposed park space shall---be__subject to standards established by the Metropolitan Council. b. Develop parks and open spaces in a manner which incorporates the natural amenities of the City. c. When available, acquire tax forfeited lands for use in the parks and open space plan. d. Solicit the input of citizens in the planning and development of park and open space. e. Provide for safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access to parks and open space. f. Plan and develop parks and open space in relation to similar facilities in adjoining communities . PLAN Parks and Open Space Mounds View has long viewed the acquisition of land for use as parks and open space with the utmost importance. Meeting the present and future needs of the City will require that the City continue this practice. Though Mounds View-'-s park systemisis adequate, certain deficiencies do exist. Among the more prominent _ of these is the lack of a substantial in-place trailway system for pedestrian and bicycle traffic . However, plans are drafted for the design and location of such facilities which would not only link inter-City parks but, also, provide access to parks within adjacent communities. Public Utilities Although electrical service to the City of Mounds is adequate, a number of the lines are above ground causing frequent interruptions in service as well as being unsightly. The City should attempt to locate these service lines below ground when the opportunity arises - quite possibly as part of road reconstruction or rehabilitation. Schools The City of Mounds View must be keenly aware of any and all changes in policy which may reflect a decrease in the number of students in Independent School District 621. A close monitoring of activities within the district will help the City in foreseeing any potential negative impacts reduced enrollment may have on the Community. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Park and development acquisition should be undertaken to ensure that community goals are being met. 2 . When possible, electrical lines shall be located underground as street improvements are made. 3. Close communication with Independent School District 621 should be maintained to ensure that any changes in policy reflective of declining enrollment are noted by the City. CHAPTER 4 TRANSPORTATION Introduction At present, the City of Mounds View has a fully developed and functional transportation system. Circulation patterns within this system are dominated by the orientation of Highway 10 which bisects the City on an East/West alignment. The vast majority of the remaining roadways within the City serve as minor arterials or collector streets and provide essential transportation to and from Mounds View's dominant land use low density residential housing. On a regional basis, Mounds View is served by I-35W which provides the residents of the City fast and convenient access to virtually all areas of the metropolitan area. Mounds View's future traffic needs will be driven by the aforementioned major arterials . Additionally, the introduction of New Highway 10 on the Northern border of the City will tend to decrease the dependance upon internal City roadways and lead to a reduction in total vehicular traffic within Mounds View. Goals and Policies Goal 1: Develop a transportation system which incorporates all modes of transportation. Policies: a. Recognize that all modes of transportation are related and should be incorporated into one comprehensive plan. b. Focus the transportation system on activity centers within the City. c. Encourage safe and convenient movement by all modes of transportation. d. Prohibit parking along all residential streets. Goal 2: Identify needed improvements to the various elements of the transportation system. Policies: a. Ensure transportation facilities are compatible with adjacent land uses. b. In an effort to create a safer transportation environment for both pedestrians and motorists, hazardous intersections should be improved or eliminated on a phased basis . c . Lighting, sign controls and pedestrian walkways should be added, where feasible, to increase safety. Goal 3: Sufficient off-street parking shall be provided to meet all demands and land uses . Policies: a. Joint use parking facilities shall be promoted and encouraged by the City. b. Parking facilities shall be designed to minimize conflicts with all transportation modes . c . Reduce the demand for off-street parking facilities by providing a coordinated and functional pedestrian and bicycle plan. d. The City should periodically review parking requirements to insure demand is being met. e. Parking lot access to public roadways should be limited to the functional minimum. Goal 4: Support and encourage the development of public transit as an alternative to individual automobile travel. Policies: a. The needs of those residents relying on public transportation as a means of mobility shall be given high priority within the overall transportation plan. b. The City should work towards providing mass transit availabilities within reasonable distances of all residential properties within the Community. c. The City should work with the Metropolitan Transit Commission to increase efficiency and ridership of existing service. Goal 5: Provide for pedestrian and bicycle facilities which are both safe and convenient for the user. ho-l-icie-s-: a. Reduce-the--dependency---of the-City on automobile transit by introducing a functional pedestrian bicycle plan. b. Pedestrian and bicycle transportation to and from activity centers should be encouraged and provided. c. A system which provides for the safe movement of pedestrian and bicycle traffic across major arterials within the City should be established. d. When possible, design of street improvement projects within the City should include options for pedestrian and bicycle pathways . e. Any pedestrian or bicycle system incorporated by the City should be compatible and user friendly with those in place in adjacent communities . Goal 6: All City transportation planning should be coordinated with transportation plans adopted by other governmental units at both the state and federal levels . Policies: a. The City shall keep an open line of communication with county and state highway officials to ensure that transportation needs on the local level are being met. b. Use of Cityresourcesin the resolution of metropolitan transportation problems shall be given consideration. Goal 7 : City streets shall be classified according to accepted metropolitan standards. Policies: a. Local transportation systems shall be designed to be consistent with the overall needs of the metropolitan area. b. Streets servicing primarily residential areas shall be designed and configured to minimize through traffic. c . •Land use planning along major arterials shall give consideration to the following: 1. Limiting the total number of access points to adjacent properties. 2 . Acquiring right-of-way for future needs . 3. Estimating future traffic demands. 4. Allowing themajor arterials of the--City--to function properly and carry the majority of vehicular traffic. PLAN Streets and Parking The development of Mounds View as a bedroom suburb has led directly to its dependance upon the automobile as the principal mode of -transportation. This dependance, and the lack of planning accompanying it, has created significant problems in both vehicle movement and parking. The City has addressed the parking problem by incorporating innovative regulations for the establishment of A • new parking facilities and the upgrade of existing facilities. The inter-City vehicular movement problem is more complex. The City is currently serviced by two principal arterials - Interstate 35W on the Eastern border of the City, and Highway 10 . I-35W provides residents with convenient and high speed regional access. Highway 10 currently provides regional access on a limited basis . It is anticipated that this function will be eliminated with the completion of New Highway 10 on the City's Northern border. New Highway 10, with controlled and limited access points, should provide commuter traffic with a more desirable transit alternative to that presently existing on Highway 10. Traffic volume on Highway 10 is expected to drop significantly in response to this new alternative and, reclassification of Highway 10 to a lower classification, possibly that of intermediate arterial, is feasible. This reclassification is somewhat dependant upon Ramsey County's program of turning back control of County maintained roadways to local governments . Within the City itself, most roadways serve as minor arterials - connecting established and fully developed residential neighborhoods with the principal arterials servicing the City. With the anticipated reclassification of Highway 10, the City has an opportunity to control both use and access of this most vital City roadway. Special consideration should be given to upgrading and improving the visual impact of the roadway. Its future function as a "main street" would benefit greatly from controls on land uses and landscaping. Collector streets within the City are limited in number but, high in use. The majority are County maintained however, maintenance is anticipated to become the responsibility of the City in the near future. RECOMMENDATIONS Streets and Parking 1. Designation of streets should be made according to their functional-classification a-s-defined by theMetropolitanCouncil. These classifications include: * Principal Arterials * Intermediate Arterials * Minor Arterials * Collector Streets * Local Streets 2 . The City should continue to take an active role in the design and construction of New Highway 10 to ensure that negative impacts on the surrounding properties are minimized. 3. Access to properties along Highway 10 should be limited and the use of access points other than those directly off of Highway 10 should be encouraged. 4 . Where possible, realignment of intersections along Highway 10 to 90 degree angles should be accommodated. 5 . Preservation and acquisition of right-of-way along Highway 10 for future development as a buffer area or pedestrian\bicycle pathway should be given high priority. 6 . Take measures, including cul-de-sacing, traffic control devices, etc. , to encourage the use of collector streets rather than local streets for the majority of vehicular movement within the City. P-ciestrian\Bicycle 1. Provide pedestrian\bicycle pathways along major streets within the City transportation system. 2 . Within retail or governmental centers, provide for the safe and orderly movement of pedestrian traffic. 3 . Provide for safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle crossings at major intersections . 4 . When possible, provide for linkages of existing trailways at the time of new subdivisions . Mass Transit Support and encourage the implementation of a mass transit system which meets service demands on both a local and regional level. CHAPTER 7 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the goals, policies, plans and recommendations of this document is best accomplished through the use of legal devices which have been specifically established for application to this plan. Historically, tools used by cities for the implementation of comprehensive plans have been zoning and subdivision ordinances, official City maps, capital improvement programs, certain state and federal aid or grant programs, tax increment financing and the use of planned unit developments. These are by no means the only available mechanisms for implementation and the City should remain open and receptive to new and -innovative techniques which may become available. The previous chapter's have outlined specific directions in which the City must go in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life, service and land use within the City. Tools available to help the City move in those established directions are as follows: NATURAL ENVIRONMENT * Zoning Ordinance * Subdivision Ordinance * Wetlands Ordinance * Flood Plain Ordinance * Rice Creek Watershed District development review * Noise Control Standards established by the PCA LAND USE * Zoning Ordinance * Subdivision Ordinance * Wetlands Ordinance * Flood Plain Ordinance * Tax Increment Financing * Industrial Revenue_Bonds * Planned Unit Development District COMMUNITY FACILITIES * Park System Master Plan * Capital Improvement Program * Tax Forfeited Land Acquisition * Land Use Plan TRANSPORTATION * Street Classification System * Capital Improvement Program These varied mechanisms for implementing adopted strategies are breifly defined in the following paragraphs. Zoning Ordinance The Zoning Ordinance is the principal tool in the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. This Ordinance establishes districts in which different types of land use and development is allowed to occur. Often, these uses are subject to certain minimum standards designed to protect the general health safety and welfare of the City through orderly development. Subdivision Ordinance The Subdivision Ordinance regulates the division of large tracts of land within the City into smaller parcels and right-of-way. These divisions are accomplished through approval procedures under which the developer is not allowed to make improvements on the property until the local decision-making body has approved the design of the subdivision or "plat" . Wetlands Ordinance The Wetland Ordinance provides forthe preservation and management of wetland areas within the City. Its main purpose is to manage natural retention and detention areas for surface waters, regulate the use of lands immediately adjacent to wetland areas, provide for proper maintenance and use of wetlands, and, to minimize developement impacts upon the wetland. Flood Plain Ordinance The Flood Plain Ordinance is designed to protect those areas which are subject to periodic inundation which may result in loss of life, loss of property, health and safety hazards and any and all other consequences which may affect the public health, safety and general welfare-. The standards u-s€d—to-lo-rmulate this-Ordinance are those established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Capital Improvement Program Capital Improvement Programs is the process by which community needs are assessed, priorities are assigned to those assessments and a schedule for addressing those needs and priorities is established. The CIP assists the City in guiding its long-term - -spending defining its ability to pay for needed improvements. Tax Increment Financing Under this program, the local governmental agency issues bonds to finance the clearance of land, the construction of buildings, or the construction and provision of such public improvements or services as water and sewer facilities and streets for a particular industry or commercial development. The increased property taxes resulting from the industrial or commercial development (tax increment) are then used to pay the principal and interest on the bonds .
