With several projects are going on, a general update and discussion can take place on any and all, and with your help, I can be given some areas of interest or concern you may have for the coming year. I have spent a little time talking with Cindy Carlson briefing her on options I have seen coming for the Council to consider in replacing Cathy Bennett. You may recognize the job description enclosed in this packet as the one that Cathy started with originally. One significant change is that the position is now accountable to the Community Development Director. Rick Jopke is the City's Community Development Director and has come to the City from Roseville where he had extensive economic development work. Ironically, it is his old position, now retitled and reworked, that Cathy took with Roseville. With him overseeing the Economic Development Coordinator, the EDC should expect to see some of him in addition to the Coordinator, and with that, my hope is a strong collection of economic development emphasis in staff and practice. If all goes • well, a new Economic Development Coordinator should be selected and possibly on board by the end of March. I would like the EDC to consider having the chairperson as part of the interview team as well. The City Council has also appointed Roger Stigney to be the EDC and hopefully he will be able to attend that morning. Have a good week and see you all on the 29th. • Minutes of the Economic Development Commission City of Mounds View Ramsey County, Minnesota • Regular Meeting November 20, 1997 City of Mounds View, Council Chambers 2401 Highway 10, Mounds View, MN 55112 1. CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 7:40 a.m. by Director of Economic Development, Cathy Bennett in the absence of a chair or vice chair at the beginning of the meeting. 2. ROLL CALL: Members Ron Schmidt, Rosemary Goff, Tom Field, Steve Larson and Cindy Carlson were present. Dir. of Economic Development Cathy Bennett was present. Members Dan Nelson and Brian Sjoberg and Liaison Duane McCarty and Alternate Liaison Gary Quick were absent. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Motion/Second: Goff/Schmidt moved approval of Minutes from October 28, 1997. • Motion Carried 4 ayes 0 nays Carlson was not present at this time 4. SPECIAL BUSINESS No special business. 5. EDC BUSINESS: A. Consideration of Tax Increment Request by Pelstring Capital Director Bennett noted that she had contacted the Director of Administration for Sims Deltec and had a meeting with Principals of Fiscars/Portable Products to understand their needs and expectations regarding the request from Pelstring Capital, acting on the behalf of CALPERS, for a grant of$700,000 to assist in the retention of Portable Products, a division of Fiscars, in the Mounds View Business Park building A. Sims Deltec remains neutral on the matter but could see benefit to their company if they were asked to move with potential expansion at the same time. In the meeting and plant tour of Portable Products Bennett can substantiate their need to expand but did not get a sense of what the corporate office plans were for expansion if the City did not support the request. Bennett communicated the difficulty with the request from the City's perspective and suggested that they evaluate the possibility of working with Everest to move into the proposed Building N of which the City has committed a large amount of TIF. Those thoughts were communicated to Portable Products in writing. Pat Pelstring handed out a response to the City regarding their request and mentioned that he was aware that • Portable Products had contacted Everest regarding Building N as an alternative. The response requested that C:\EDA-EDC\EDCVIIN 11.97 1 the EDC consider providing$620,000 instead of the$700,000 as a grant. These funds would support the buy-out of Portable Products lease so that they could expand into Building N. Mr. Pelstring noted that by allowing Portable Products to break their lease obligation, which is estimated to have a present value of$2 million, Calpers would be losing a minimum of$180,000 in leasehold improvement, in addition to the$2 . million committed and Portable Products would be losing$115, 000 in leasehold improvement invested for their current location. TIF Consultant Dave Maroney wondered if Sims Deltec was interested in moving anymore and what guarantee would the City have that Portable Products would stay in Mounds View. Mr. Pelstring could not answer those questions and suggested that the City discuss this with Portable Products directly. Carlson noted that this request is still difficult to consider and she would feel uncomfortable recommending approval unless there could be strong justification for the use of the funds. Mr. Pelstring mentioned that this would provide for the continued growth and retention of two quality companies and Portable Products is unique and valuable to the community. Calpers is fairly neutral in the request but is trying to facilitate options to keep the company here. Carlson responded that the burden of growth should be on Fiscars and that they should have taken this into consideration when they purchased Portable Products. Larson agreed and felt that in a business buy out that the commitment to the lease is already on the books as a liability. Schmidt wondered if there were other ways to resolve this situation by possibly reengineering the distribution system. Goff wondered why the company was not here to represent themselves when they would be the key beneficiary. Carlson thought that a request for$62,000 may be reasonable but that the$620,000 was still out of the responsibility of the City. Maroney verified that he would never recommend this professionally as presented. Motion/Second: Carlson/Larson moved not recommend the request to fund the buy out of Portable Products lease and that Calpers and Portable Products should negotiate as a owner/tenant transaction only. This request is outside the realm of the City's responsibility. Motion Carried 5 ayes 0 nays A. Discussion of Mounds View Ring Road Concept • Bennett gave a summary of the ring road concept and discussions at the community meeting regarding the traffic concerns. The commissioners agreed that the ring road concept was good for the City and that the traffic signal is very important to the community center for the enhancement and safety of the City and its residents. The commission would like to continue to be involved with the development of the concept. Larson mentioned that it would be worthwhile to have the road moved away from Highway 10 as much as possible so that it does not look like a frontage road. This should be looked at taking into consideration the costs for mitigation of the wetland. 6. REPORTS FROM CHAIR, COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF: No reports 7.

The • amendment should be that meetings should adjourn on or before 90 minutes from the time of calling to order, unless a two-thirds majority of the members present agree to extend the time of adjournment.

By Its Mounds View Economic Development • Authority By Its President By Its Executive Director 4 • 0 • January 23, 1996 ................. .. ... ............ .. ED(1) IE N4) Mounds View, MN 55112 Dear f. . 3) : The City of Mounds View would like to personally take this opportunity to inform you of the Business Improvement Partnership (BIP) Program that is now in full swing. The BIP Program was established in 1995 to provide existing businesses with a very low interest rate and attractive termed loan to make improvements. The City's goal is to use the program to assist Mounds View businesses grow and prosper while improving the aesthetics of the commercial and retail sectors of the community. 0 he program is very simple. All you need is a desire to improve you business and we can help you ith the rest. One of the most recent projects is the Mister Donut store on Highway 10. The City of Mounds View, partnering with Western Bank, was able to provide a loan to the owners of Mister Donut to remodel the interior and exterior of the building, expand the product line and hire new employees. By summer, Mister Donut should have a facelift, including a new name, and be able to offer sandwiches, soup, ice cream and gourmet coffee and espresso to its customers. A loan for this project would not have been a reality without the benefits of the BIP Program. Please take a moment to review the enclosed brochure. With a City loan at 2 percent interest rate partnered with bank financing at some of the lowest rates in history, there is-no better time to invest in the future of your business than right now. Please call me at 784-3055 for more information and start the process on a new storefront or remodeled interior today!

HIGHWAY I 0 CORRIDOR INCORPORATES A CITY CENTER THAT PROMOTES ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR ITS RESIDENTS AND A HUB FOR COMMUTERS. HIGHWAY I 0 IS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING WITH ATTRACTIVE LANDSCAPING, SIGNAGE, STREETSCAPES AND STOREFRONTS. HIGHWAY I 0 IS THE LOCAL AND REGIONAL LINK TO THE GREATER METRO AREA. Highway 10 Action Steps Research corridor plans throughout the metro area and evaluate the pros and cons of each concept. (Hopkins, Arden Hills, Burnsville, Columbia Heights, Cedar Ave in Apple Valley, Maple Grove in City transportation system) Define the audiences that use Highway 10 - residents, other communities, commuters. Evaluate what businesses are needed and wanted on Highway 10. Define "mainstreet" for Mounds View. Identify a "magnet" that draws people to Highway 10 and ways to capitalize regionally on that draw. Review turn back time table and procedures. • Evaluate ways that we can provide a safe, accessible crossing of Highway 10. Evaluate the feasibility of safe pedestrian access on Highway 10 for walking, biking, rollerblading, handicap and seniors. Research the use of a people mover for community activities and commuter services. Review one stop shop of public services - community center, county facilities, city facilities, daycare, healthcare -- that would be beneficial to attract to the corridor. Identify landscape and design standards and concepts. HIGHWAY 10 CORRIDOR DRAFT PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN INTRODUCTION The Highway 10 Corridor Proposal is presented by the highway 10 subcommittee consisting of the following: • Peg Mountin - Economic Development Commission • Gary Stevenson - Planning Commission • Pam Star -Parks & Recreation Commission • Staff: Cathy Bennett, Paul Harrington, Mary Saarion The Highway 10 Committee was directed to present options for the development of the Highway 10 Corridor in Mounds View. The first step in this process was to review how other communities addressed corridor redevelopment. This enabled the committee to take the best strategies from each plan and apply them to Mounds View. The following corridor plans were reviewed. In addition, the committee took a bus tour of several community corridors. • Cedar Avenue - Apple Valley • Highway 13 - Burnsville • • Highway 5 - Chanhassen University Ave - Columbia Heights • Edinborough/Centennial Lakes -Edina • Highway 3 - Hopkins • Old Highway 8 -New Brighton • County Road E - Vadnais Heights • Highway 61 - White Bear Lake There were three common elements in each redevelopment plan that were revealed by the committee. • Each plan contained specific designated areas of development. Those areas of development addressed land use, zoning, landscaping, environmental engineering and how the area fit into the entire corridor plan. • The other common element, with the exception of Apple Valley, was that they were developed with the assistance of an outside consultant who specializes in corridor and downtown redevelopment plans and community consensus building. • The final element is that redevelopment is a very slow, costly and risky process that takes strong local leadership. In addition, there is usually strong resistance to change and not everyone will agree with any plan since there are significant impacts to residents, • businesses and traffic. Each City stressed the importance of remembering to keep focused on the big picture! The following is the first attempt at structuring sections of development for the corridor. It made sense to include the section of Mounds View which is along Old Highway 8 in the corridor plan. This section often gets mistaken for New Brighton and it is a very important part of the City that needs attention. 1. REGIONAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESS PARK The section is along old highway 8 but has a significant impact on Highway 10, therefore it is proposed to include it in the redevelopment plan. Currently, section one contains an industrial park for over 12 businesses. In addition the section includes the Towns Edge Manufactured Home Park, 2-3 single family homes and the Skyline Motel. The section is bordered by New Brighton to the south, I-35W to the east, New Brighton Regional Park to the west and County Road H to the north. Section one is ideal for the expansion of Mounds View's commercial base. There is Interstate exposure and easy access to I-35W from both Highway 10 and 95. Mounds View's commercial land is almost entirely developed. There have been many occasions that companies relocate out of the City for the sole reason that there is not enough large lots in the area. This section would be proposed for manufacturing operations that are medium to light in nature. There are several businesses in the Mounds View business park • that may be relocating because they only need a Class B facility for their operations. This section could provide for this type of use. In addition, conversion to commercial use follows New Brighton's development from the south which consists almost entirely of industrial space for use by manufacturing and trucking companies that require some outside storage. The section would be easily buffered from designated residential neighborhoods in Mounds View. 2. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES- COUNTY PROPERTY, WETLANDS This section of the community includes the area surrounding Rice Creek, which is a part of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Trail Corridor. Ramsey County has jurisdiction of the land. Future plans include the development of a Trailhead for canoeing Rice Creek. The canoe corridor will begin in Centerville and continue through Mounds View to the Mississippi River. This Regional Parks and Recreation trail corridorwill provide facilities for fishing, canoeing, hiking and wildlife observation activities. The trails will connect Anoka and Ramsey County Open Spaces, Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton and Locke Park in Fridley. Because of it's regional appeal, it is predicted that this recreational facility will generate visitor traffic from users especially from the northern metropolitan suburbs. These visitors can be expected to patronize fast food and restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores. • • Old Highway 8 is scheduled for improvements according to Ramsey County's plan. This would be an excellent road for an off-street bicycle trail system connecting residents to the Regional Trail Corridor from a County Road H off-street trail. When Old Highway 8 is improved, an off-street bicycle trail should be considered. This section is recommended per the TAG plan. 3. CITY ENTRANCE Section three is the first area that a visitor would see if coming off of Interstate 35W. This section should leave a lasting impression on the first time visitor to Mounds View as well as the frequent commuter. In addition, residents can feel good about coming home when they enter the community through the entrance. it is suggested to have a monument sign constructed in this section with quaiity landscaping as a welcome to the entrance of Mounds View. This area caters to the visitor and includes filling stations, fast food restaurants, convenience stores, entertainment facilities and overnight accommodations. The area would be ideal for a major hotel\conference facility due to its convenience and exposure on Interstate 35W. When fully redeveloped the area will tie in nicely with the section 2 recreational area and would draw visitors from farther distances due to the accessibility of accommodations and facilities all in one close proximity. 4. REGIONAL BUSINESS CENTER Section four consists of Mounds View's Business Park which houses various limited manufacturing\warehouse and distribution facilities. The 90+ acre corporate business park has a reputation as being visibly pleasing, beautifully landscaped and centrally located. The majority of the businesses distribute their corporate products nationally and internationally. These businesses provide employment for over 1,500 Twin Cities residents. Of those employees, 8% are from Mounds View with the majority coming from all over the metro area, Chisago County, Isante County and even Western Wisconsin. The business park is currently 90% developed. One remaining parcel is slated for a 118,000 sq.ft building. The remaining land is designated for expansion of existing businesses such as Multi-Tech and C.G. Hill. 5. BUSINESS SUPPORT Center Section five is designated as the service center for the business park and surrounding commercial areas. This includes an office complex development housing professional service companies, restaurants, convenience store and car wash. There is at least one vacant lot, zoned commercial, which could accommodate an office building. In addition, • there are four single family homes which encompass the entire corner of Woodale and Highway 10. Since commuter traffic is moving at such a high speed in this area and there are no designated turn lanes onto their properties, residential living is not conducive to the development. Everest Development currently owns each end house and has been trying1111 to negotiate a reasonable sale price for the remaining properties for commercial development. When developing this section, care needs to be taken to property buffer the residential neighborhood on Jeffrey Drive and Greenfield Avenue. 6. MEDIUM-LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL This small section of the Highway 10 corridor is residential and is recommended as remaining residential. These properties do not have direct access to Highway 10. The homes do not face Highway 10 but instead have side properties adjacent to the Highway corridor. It is recommended to add a dense layer of landscaping along the houses that are visible from Highway 10 to buffer it from the traffic. As the entire Highway 10 Corridor developed as planned this section should be reevaluated as to its fit with the surrounding develpments. 7. CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FACILITY/OFFICE COMPLEX This is the largest section of undeveloped land along Highway 10 and special care needs to be taken to ensure proper and best use of the property. It is recommended to attract a corporate headquarters facility or office complex to the site which would be developed in a campus setting keeping its natural, wooded atmosphere. There are 24.26 acres in this 4110 section. It is estimated that 14.35 of the total acreage is buildable since there is a very large wetland area to the west of the property. The property is owned by an elderly women who wants to ensure that she receives proper compensation for the land. She too would like to see the property developed with the utmost care to keep it as a natural campus type setting incorporating hiking and biking trails for pubic use. 8. CITY CENTER a. City Hall and Communtiy Center This area of the Highway 10 corridor is the center of the City - thus City Center. There is no coincidence that this is the location of the City Hall Administration Building which also houses the Police Station. Included on the grounds of City Hall is City Hall Community Park which includes an adult ballfield, youth ballfield, picnicking facilities, twin sand court volleyball courts, soccer field, and pre-school playground equipment. City Hall Park is the location of the annual Festival 111 the Park, a City celebration. Also located on City Hall Park is a wellhouse, water tower water reservoir and Public Works building. Across the street from City Hall Park, including the facilities previously mentioned, is the Bel Rae Ballroom and adjoining undeveloped property. The Bel Rae building is a one story large building. It has a large parking lot and is very accessible to the Highway 10 410 corridor. The Bel Rae is also very accessible to neighborhoods of Mounds View. The property abutting the Bel Rae is mostly wetland, but it does abut Highway 10 corridor. The owners of the property have been unable to develop the property due to the small amount of buildable space. The owners of both of these properties are willing to sell. b. Local Commercial Services Located directly in the heart of the Community, section eight (b) - commonly referred to as "City Center" - provides the residents of Mounds View a wide variety of retail services via two existing shopping malls on the north and south sides of Highway 10. The malls, Silver View Plaza and Mounds View Square, provide the residents of the Community with conveniently available retail services and shops. In addition to serving a local clientele, the malls benefit from their location on Highway 10 and its high number of commuters. However, despite the high traffic numbers, the section suffers somewhat from the lack of adequate access on and off of Highway 10. Experience has shown that commuter traffic is less likely to utilize the services provided by the two malls because of the difficulty in quickly and safely exiting Highway 10. City efforts in this district should focus on attracting additional quality retail services to the two malls, improving the somewhat difficult traffic circulation patterns surrounding the area and, increasing the visibility of the signage for the malls. III9. MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT Located immediately west of City Center, section nine currently consists of two very distinct uses located on either side of Highway 10. On the south side of Highway 10, development includes a recently completed 83 unit senior housing complex, fast food restaurants and retail and service outlets. The north side of 10 is primarily devoted to multi family housing units. The sections' proximity to City Center lends itself to an integration of the two districts into one "supersection" servicing all retail and service needs in the community. City influence on the area will be most directly felt on the north side of Highway 10 as'any long range development of the section will require decisions to be made on the future of the aforementioned multi-family housing units. On the south side of Highway 10, development of an office building to house medical providers (i.e. dental, eye, general practitioners) should be given strong consideration. With the development of the senior housing project, the need for these services will only increase. Of the parcels remaining undeveloped in the south half of the section, a large portion are delineated City wetland and present a significant constraint on the ability to develop the area enmasse. When considering developing this area, particular attention should be paid to preservation and maintenance of these existing wetlands as they provide both aesthetic and functional amenities to the Community. 10. LOCAL COMMERCIAL BUSINESS Section ten, beginning with the properties immediately west of Silver Lake Road, starts • the gradual move from commercial type land uses to that of medium and low density residential. The section includes a number of properties which are legal non-conforming in relation to the established zoning districts. In particular, properties zoned B-3, Highway Commercial are currently being utilized as residential along the south side of Highway 10. The City has an opportunity to redefine the area somewhat in that commercial properties and possibilities do exist. Any development of this area should include adequate buffering - either natural or man-made to minimize the impacts felt by the surrounding residential neighborhood. Specific land uses should be those that provide needed community services. As with all properties along Highway 10, attraction of commuter traffic as potential customers should be given high priority. 11. MEDIUM/LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Section eleven, located along the westernmost edge of the Community, presents a unique challenge in development due to its geographical proximity to the City of Spring Lake Park. A significant amount of land within the limits of Spring Lake Park impacts the character of the section on the south side of Highway 10. This encroachment directly affects the development of the properties north of 10 in that Spring Lake Parks' plans for development of their property may take a different direction than that of Mounds View. Recent developments in the section have focused on residential projects. On the south • P side of Highway 10, a 22-unit townhome development was recently approved and is nearing completion. To the north, development of a 17-lot single family home subdivision will begin in early summer of 1995. As stated earlier, the challenge in planning for section eleven lies in anticipating and participating in the plans for development of the bordering Communities' land. • Proposed Highway 10 Redevelopment Section 1 - Regional Manufacturing Business Park Approximate Acres - 110 Current Character- Industrial Businesses mixed with Mounds View's largest manufacturing home park.

Development Areas. Each communities plan contains designated areas of development. These areas of development address desired use, current land use, zoning, landscaping, environmental engineering and how the development meets the vision for the community. 2.) Since redevelopment usually requires drastic land use changes and numerous technical decisions, most community redevelopment plans were put together with the assistance of an outside consultant who specializes in corridor and downtown redevelopment and community consensus building. 3.) Redevelopment is a long range plan can take several years, requires substantial public assistance up front and presents many risks and rewards. Undoubtfully a successful redevelopment plan, once initiated, takes strong local leadership from Councils, Boards and Civic Groups. 4.) In most communities there is always an element of resistance to change. Not all residents will agree with plans, especially when there could be significant impacts to peoples lives and businesses. The most important element is to remain focused on the big picture and long range vision for the community! The Highway 10 Subcommittee broke down each property along the corridor into a total of eleven development areas. 1.)REGIONAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESS PARK . Expand Mounds View's 111111 limited commercial base for manufacturing operations that are medium to light in nature allowing easy buffering from Mounds View residential neighborhoods. 2.) RECREATIONAL FACILITIES- COUNTY PROPERTY, WETLANDS A Regional Parks and Recreation trail corridor to provide facilities for fishing, canoeing, hiking and wildlife observation activities. The trails connect Anoka and Ramsey County Open Spaces, Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton and Locke Park in Fridley. 3.) CITY ENTRANCE An area that caters to the visitor and frequent commuter to Mounds View and would act as the City Entrance with a Welcome to Mounds View monument sign. 4. REGIONAL BUSINESS CENTER Mounds View's Business Park which houses various limited manufacturing\warehouse and distribution facilities and is the major job center in the community providing employment for over 1,500 Twin Cities residents. 5. BUSINESS SUPPORT CENTER Service center for the business park and surrounding commercial areas that includes an office complex development housing professional service companies, restaurants, convenience store and car wash. 6. MEDIUM-LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Small residential exposure that does not have direct access to Highway 10 but could be more protected by adding a dense layer of landscaping along the houses that are visible from Highway 10 7. CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FACILITY/OFFICE COMPLEX It is recommended to attract a corporate headquarters facility or office complex to the site • which would be developed in a campus setting keeping its natural, wooded atmosphere. 8.a. City Hall and Community Center 8.b. Local Commercial Services An area that provides the residents of Mounds View a wide variety of retail services via two existing shopping malls on the north and south sides of • Highway 10. 9. MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT Community and Commuter services mixed with senior complex and multi-family units bring people close to the services available within walking distance. 10. LOCAL COMMERCIAL BUSINESS gradual shift from commercial type land uses to that of medium and low density residential. includes a number of properties which are legal non-conforming in relation to the established zoning districts. 11. MEDIUM/LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Developments have taken a natural focused on residential projects with the recently developed 22-unit townhouse development and 17-lot single family home subdivision. • 2. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES - COUNTY PROPERTY, WETLANDS DESCRIPTION: This section of the community includes the area surrounding Rice Creek, which is a part of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Trail Corridor. Ramsey County has jurisdiction of the land. Future plans include the development of a Trailhead for canoeing Rice Creek. The canoe corridor will begin in Centerville and continue through Mounds View to the Mississippi River. This Regional Parks and Recreation trail corridor will provide facilities for fishing, canoeing, hiking and wildlife observation activities. The trails will connect Anoka and Ramsey County Open Spaces, Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton and Locke Park in Fridley. Because of it's regional appeal, it is predicted that this recreational facility will generate visitor traffic from users especially from the northern metropolitan suburbs. These visitors can be expected to patronize fast food and restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores. Old Highway 10 is scheduled for improvements according to Ramsey County's plan. This would be an excellent road for an off-street bicycle trail system connecting residents to the Regional Trail Corridor from a County Road H off-street trail. When Old Highway 8 is • improved, an off-street bicycle trail should be considered. This section is recommended per the TAG plan. GOALS: The goal of this part of the Highway 10 Corridor is a regional recreational facility which will attract visitors to the community, using goods and services and thus providing a positive economic impact. OBJECTIVES: Objectives of this Recreational Facility will be: 1. Keep in communication, working with Ramsey County to ensure that Rice Creek Corridor Recreation Facility provides advantage to the City's concerns regarding traffic, safety, parking issues, accessibility to Mounds View residents, and other similar issues. 2. Promote community businesses and retail services through promotions targeting users of Rice Creek Regional Recreation Facilities, taking full advantage of the positive economic impact that recreational facilities can provide. 3. Similar to the actions of neighboring communities that enjoy Ramsey County recreational facilities, take full advantage of the recreational facilities that Ramsey County offers, incorporating the opportunities in recreational performas for the community and enhancing recreational opportunities for residents of the community. 4. The road improvements to Old Highway 8 will enhance the safety and access to the entrance of Mounds View. An off-street trailway will provide for multi-model transportation and will link to New Brighton off- street trailways, leading to Long Lake Regional Park and also leading to downtown New Brighton. BENEFITS: The benefits of a Regional Recreation Facility is that it is an attraction opportunity for the City. Visitor spending will generate economic stimulus. The facility will identify the City as the location of a regional park which will be enjoyed by many people from the Metropolitan area. The Regional Recreation Facility will preserve the wetlands and riverway while providing opportunity for people to use and enjoy the natural resources of the Rice Creek Trail Corridor. 6. MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DESCRIPTION: • This small section of the Highway 10 corridor is residential and is recommended as remaining residential. These homes do not face Highway 10 but instead have side properties adjacent to the Highway corridor. These properties do not have direct access to Highway 10. GOAL: The goal of this section of the corridor is simply to comply with already existing home properties that are located at the end of the residential block of St. Stephens Street. OBJECTIVE: The objective is simply to avoid disrupting three homes that currently fall in this area. The homes do not have a significant affect to the Highway corridor. The homes are on the end of a very nice neighborhood residential street. BENEFIT: The benefit to keeping the homes as existing is that they complete a nice neighborhood. The neighborhood is in excellent location to City Hall and City Center services. 1111 • 8a. CITY HALL AND COMMUNITY CENTER DESCRIPTION: This area of the Highway 10 corridor is the center of the City - thus City Center. There is no coincidence that this is the location of the City Hall Administration Building which also houses the Police Station. Included on the grounds of City Hall is City Hall Community Park which includes an adult ballfield, youth ballfield, picnicking facilities, twin sand court volleyball courts, soccer field, and pre-school playground equipment. City Hall Park is the location of the annual Festival In the Park, a City celebration. Also located on City Hall Park is a wellhouse, water tower water reservoir and Public Works building. Across the street from City Hall Park, including the facilities previously mentioned, is the Bel Rae Ballroom and adjoining property. The Bel Rae building is a one story large building. It has a large parking lot and is very accessible to the Highway 10 corridor. The Bel Rae is also very accessible to neighborhoods of Mounds View. Property abutting the Bel Rae is mostly wetland, but it does abut Highway 10 corridor. There is a small amount of upland property which could be buildable. The owners of both of these properties wish to sell. 411 GOAL: This location would be ideal for a community center facility, tying in with City Hall activities, servicing residents of the community. This area could be a City Center Complex of resident services. The goal of this property is the development of a City service community center. OBJECTIVES: 1. With this central location, establish a "City Center" of extended services for the residents of the community. 2. Investigate joint ventures for the provision of extended community center buildings and services including private businesses, County involvement, school district involvement, City and agency involvements. 3. Investigate grants, fund raising opportunities, contributions, special funding mechanisms and other finding opportunities for facilities for extended city services. BENEFITS: • The benefit would be extended services for residents of the community. This would fulfill a goal of the Focus 2000 proposal which recommends extended services through a community center facility or facilities. This project would also be an opportunity to join forces with other stakeholders of the community to provide a collaborative venture for the delivery of services to a variety of needs and interests of the community. • 110 yr .— '-.
