Mounds View Planning Commission November 1, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Six . Ms. Hren advised comments are needed back by November 15 on the draft wetland zoning ordinance. Commissioner Miller suggested it would be helpful to have the original committee members receive a copy of the update, for their input. Commissioner Jones noted a number of neighbors of the proposed Hardees had objected to the development and stated that they had not heard of it until after the public hearing, and he questioned whether the Planning Commission tried to notify them. Chair Mountin explained the Planning Commission can have informational meetings with public notice. It is the appearance before the Council that really matters, where there is the official public hearing and two readings. While it is not official at the Planning Commission level, input could be used to help formulate directions. Chair Mountin also rioted that a proposal must meet the intent and purpose of the Comp Placa and zoning ordinance, and this did. • There being no further business before the Planning 12.

However, the facilities which have developed to facilitate auto movement through- out the community exhibit numerous deficiencies. The first step in attempting to address and correct these deficiencies is the classification of streets within the community according to function. The map on page illustrates the proposed classifications based upon standards and criteria established by the Metropolitan Council . The shaded areas on the map refer to the two planning districts where major access to development should be provided by a ring road. The precise align- ment of both ring roads has not been determined as this task should be closely coordinated with landowners during development stage planning. PRINCIPAL ARTERIALS The City is presently served by two principal arterials - Interstate 35W, located on the eastern border of the community, and old Highway 10. These elements of the transportation system provide residents of Mounds View with regional level accessi- bility, serving long trips at high speeds. Although Interstate 35W will continue to serve the community in this regard, as noted on the map, it is anticipated that new Highway 10, which is a controlled access expressway, will replace old Highway 10 in providing regional level accessibility. Furthermore, as discussed in the Land Use Plan, the City should work cooperatively with the Highway Department to ensure that as plans are developed for new Highway 10, no interchange is planned for Red Oak Drive. With a connection point at 35W on Mounds View's eastern border and an interchange at close proximity in Blaine to the northwest, little need exists for additional access to northern Mounds View. The originally proposed Red Oak Drive interchange not only violates limited access distance policies, but as well, creates an extremely disruptive traffic focusing situation on Red Oak Drive, given its established residential development character. INTERMEDIATE ARTERIALS There are no existing or proposed intermediate arterials within Mounds View. MINOR ARTERIALS Minor Arterials are intended to provide access to principal arterials, intermediate arterials, other minor arterials and collectors. At the present, Silver Lake Road and County Road I are the only minor arterials within the community. As a conse- quence of the new Highway 10 extension, old Highway 10 will be down- lf` graded to a minor arterial . With respect to both the present functioning and future minor arterial function of old Highway 10, it should be noted that due to 96 I A /1f9/ae .r11
