open restaurants.
Mrs. Crane offered to send an information al packet to the EDC regarding how other cities
regulate food trucks.
Chair Belting brought up the concern that food trucks could create an uneven “playing field”
compared to existing fixed structure restaurants that pay property taxes in the City of
Mounds View.

From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist
Item Title/Subject: Discuss Land Development Planning Proposals for Southeast
Corner of County Road 10 and County Road H2
Background
The EDA owns the following three commercial parcels located at the southeast corner of
County Roads 10 and H2:
1) 2390 County Road 10 – Former Premium Stop gas station
2) 2394 County Road 10 – Former Taiko sushi restaurant

Project Understanding
Project Understanding
The City of Mounds View through its Economic Development Authority is seeking to develop
a vision for the former Taiko Sushi Bar, Robert’s Sports Bar, and Premium Stop gas station site
located on the County Road 10 Corridor. The sites are important to the City both economically, as
well as serving as a gateway into the City of Mounds View.

Premium Stop site, in 2006 and acquired the other two sites earlier this year. The Premium Stop
site is currently cleared, and existing buildings on the other sites will be demolished yet this fall,
creating a ‘clean slate’ for the new vision on the combined site.

artery and primary commercial corridor in Mounds View, County Road 10 is vital to the economic
sustainability of the City. However, with the road under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County, the
City is limited in the change it is able to effect along the corridor. Our team understands these
issues, and realizes that is what makes this project so important to the Mounds View

factors such as community environment, desires, and needs, as well as current and projected

The end result of this project is to take the Vision set forth by the EDA and the residents of

economically viable solution to potential developers. The vision achieved through this project
should be desirable, yet realistic. Mounds View does not want to ‘settle’ for a development on this
site, yet it does not want a proposed site plan that is unattainable.
A solid experience in Urban Design, an understanding of the technical challenges of the site, and
seamless partnership with City and the Community are imperative to the success of this project.
The Bolton & Menk Team will lead the process with the facilitation of a Public meeting where

concepts for the site that relate to the input and prioritization of the community, are technically
sound alternatives based on physical constraints, and accommodate the type of usage deemed
acceptable during the market research portion of the project.
The concepts will serve as a tool for the Economic Development Authority in seeking potential
development partners and as such must be a ‘real world’ solution that can be easily implemented
by private development and be marketable to a range of developers.

SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COUNTY ROADS 10 & H2 QUALIFICATIONS - PAGE 7
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
HKGi’s understanding of the needs of the Southeast Corner of County Roads 10 & H2 market analysis and redevelopment concept planning
project was developed through a review of the Request for Qualifications, the 2006 Premium Stop Redevelopment Area Study and Market
Research Attachment, 2008 Comprehensive Plan, and the 2013 City Council Mission, Vision, Values and Priority Statements. Highway 10
is the primary commercial corridor through the community and is currently home to a number of vacant and underutilized properties.
Revitalization of this corridor has been a goal for the community for the past several years, and in 2013 the City Council selected the County
Road 10 corridor as a key focus area for transformation. To that end, the specific goals were developed including targeting property
acquisitions on a case-by-case basis to eliminate blight and encourage land assembly and ultimately redevelopment, improving the visual
aesthetics of the corridor with sustainable landscaping and pedestrian features, and to complete the trail and sidewalk system through the
corridor, all of which will help guide the redevelopment concept planning effort.
With these goals and priorities as its foundation, the EDA has recently acquired the properties located at 2394 County Road 10 (a foreclosure)
and 2400 County Road H2 (a vacant and blighted property) and plans to demolish the buildings. Combined with the previous Premium
Stop gas station / convenience store, purchased by the EDA in 2006, a contiguous 4.25 acre site now exists at a prime corner on the main
commercial corridor through the community. The site assembly of the three parcels is a key catalyst and effectively creates a larger parcel
size than most properties targeted for redevelopment in the corridor and other comparable locations in surrounding areas, giving this site
a more competitive advantage.
The study is intended to identify the market potential for the property in the near-term, examining a mix of uses for the site, and ensuring
realistic expectations for redevelopment. Additionally, the study will also address the aesthetic elements such as screening and landscaping
to nearby residential uses, developing enhanced urban design features that create a balance between pedestrians and automobile traffic
(currently at 20,000 vehicles per day) and articulating the extension of the existing trail through the site including pedestrian amenities
and features.
PAGE 8 - SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COUNTY ROADS 10 & H2 QUALIFICATIONS
APPROACH & SCOPE
PROJECT APPROACH
Our approach to the Southeast Corner of County Roads 10 & H2 market research and redevelopment plan is to create a series of site
development plans that are realistic, effective, and transformative. A key component in that process is the inclusion of a market analysis expert.
W-ZHA’s market analysis will be based on statistical research; interviews with locally active real estate brokers, developers, and managers;
general familiarity with local and regional development dynamics; and their professional experience. Ultimately, the approach to our process
must:
rDefine what the market will support. Ensure expectations are not off base between the City / EDA and the development
community.
rLeverage your assets. Highway 10 corridor traffic counts, site visibility and access.
rBuild trust. Involve and listen to the neighborhood and local community.
rProvide a vision for the private sector rooted in the values of the community.
PROPOSED SCOPE
After reviewing the services required as outlined in the Request for Qualifications, our team has developed a proposed work program we
believe meets the City of Mounds View’s objectives for the Southeast Corner of County Roads 10 & H2 study. The proposed work plan below
is intended as a starting point for discussion. We anticipate and encourage discussion that will tailor our services for this project to best meet
the needs of the City.
TASK 1 – CONDUCT MARKET ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE-PARCEL REDEVELOPMENT SITE
To begin the process, W-ZHA will assess the potential for various types of development on the 4.25 acre site. These assessments will
not address all facets of a conventional “market analyses;” instead, they will provide general comparative evaluations of the prospects
for various types of development.
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COUNTY ROADS 10 & H2 QUALIFICATIONS - PAGE 9
APPROACH & SCOPE
Through reviews of existing background reports and data, local and regional touring, interviews with locally active brokers and
developers, W-ZHA will be able to identify:
rThe general impact of anticipated catalysts for development;
rGeneral qualitative and quantitative support for such outlooks;
rThe land uses and general profiles of the strongest prospects for likely development in the short-term (1-3 year) future;
rThe key challenges to such development, as well as the contingencies that may change such development prospects over
longer-term time frames.
Based on findings, W-ZHA will prepare a short memorandum that will identify promising types of development for the planning area,
along with the key considerations supporting its findings. This memorandum will also identify the key contingencies that might
influence development potential, issues relating to the timing of development, and planning directives and other interventions
that could influence development outlooks.
TASK 2 – FACILITATE THE EDA VISIONING WORKSHOP
Upon completion of the market analysis, HKGi will facilitate a visioning workshop with the EDA members. At this workshop, HKGi
will present the findings from the market study, show preliminary concept ideas for the site, and collect appropriate precedent
development examples to help generate conversation on the future vision for redevelopment of the site.
The preliminary concepts will be diagrammatic in nature and explore site issues such as access, visibility, building height, trail
connectivity, buffering / landscaping etc. The precedent examples (photographs of existing, similar developments) will help EDA
members see the finished product and overall development character. Together, the overview of the market findings, the preliminary
concept diagrams, and the precedent development studies will help guide the conversation during the visioning workshop and
assist the EDA in formulating an achievable redevelopment vision for the site by establishing a model project and setting the stage
for the future transformation of the corridor.
PAGE 10 - SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COUNTY ROADS 10 & H2 QUALIFICATIONS
APPROACH & SCOPE
TASK 3 – FACILITATE THE PUBLIC INPUT MEETING
After the EDA Visioning Workshop, HKGi will organize and facilitate a public input meeting. At this meeting we will provide an
overview of the project and its intended outcomes, summarize the market findings and discuss the site issues and opportunities
with the community, specifically the adjacent / nearby residents and business owners. In more of a true open house format, HKGi
will provide an overview presentation on the market findings and preliminary concept diagrams. In addition we will provide large
graphic boards for display and will also create a comment card to solicit written feedback from the community on the significant
issues and opportunities related to site development such as intended uses, building and parking placement, access and circulation,
landscaping and screening, etc.
TASK 4 – CREATE THE REDEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS
Following the EDA visioning session and public input meeting, the HKGi team will prepare concept alternatives for the site that build
on ideas and thoughts collected during visioning session and reviewed by the public at the open house. Two or three concept
alternatives will be prepared for subsequent consideration rooted in the market findings. Our approach to the development of the
concept alternatives is to creatively explore the range of potential redevelopment options including best practices for sustainable
development.
Each concept alternative will illustrate and identify development patterns including buildings and parking configurations,
infrastructure improvements and stormwater strategies, enhanced circulation for trail and sidewalk networks and site landscaping,
buffer areas and open space amenities.
Concepts will include:
rIllustrative site plans
rDevelopment parcel plans
rDevelopment summary (summarizes development sites, building square footage, site improvements, parking numbers,
trails and open space network / landscape buffer areas)

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Economic Development Commission
From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist
Item Title/Subject: Continue Food Truck Discussion
Background
On August 16th, Assistant City Administrator Desaree Crane provided the EDC with
information about mobile food trucks operating in Mounds View. EDC members also
received informational packets regarding how other cities regulate food trucks.
At the time of the August 16th EDC meeting, there were two mobile food trucks authorized
to do business in Mounds View. One business is Ricos Tacos El Paisa, which was
authorized to move its location between Tires & More and ABC Liquor. The other business
is Los Primos Tacos, which was authorized to move its location between the BP gas
station and Vino & Stogies.
Currently, Los Primos Tacos is authorized to move its location between Sam’s Market and
and The Station.
Discussion
City staff has received the following two inquiries from two Mounds View (non-restaurant)
businesses owners about food trucks operating in Mounds View:
1) How do existing Mounds View restaurants feel about food trucks operating in
Mounds View?
2) Do food trucks create unfair competition between fixed structure restaurants that
pay property taxes in the City of Mounds View?
City staff has not received any food truck inquiries or complaints from Mounds View
restaurants.
Recommendation
City staff recommends that the EDC continue their food truck discussion and provide input
to the EDA/City Council regarding this matter.
