SRF have gathered preliminary information including zoning, land use and traffic data for the study area and have plotted this information on the base map. - Administrative information was reviewed: Some one-to-one interviews have been conducted and the response to the study is generally positive. January 23rd meeting date was discussed. It was decided that the meeting would be held in the evening to accommodate as much participation from residents as possible. Tt.t next informational meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on January 23rd in the Council Chambers. The agenda will include a review of the preliminary goals and objectives of the study and a market overview from Towle Real Estate. SRF requested a list of planning,EDC and Parks&Recreation Commission members for their files. The regular January EDC meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on January 23rd prior to the informational meeting. A Design Workshop was discussed and scheduled for Saturday, February 8th from 9- noon. Location was discussed. Cathy Bennett will review the possibility of holding the design workshop at Western Bank Lobby or in a vacant storefront at Moundsview .,quare. • The workshop is intended to encourage residents and businesses to informally review the study area and provide the EDC with ideas regarding its development. Marketing will ti • include direct mail, possible advertisement in the Bulletin or Focus newspapers an-" rn the Mounds View reader board. Information should include a map of the study area 'anti what is expected to be accomplished from the workshop. SRF Presentation: 1. Review of Neighborhood Context Aerial Map: Discussed Boundaries of study area.The map shows the relationship with the neighborhood and their uses and shows that the study area does not stand alone. Traffic Counts were presented Silver Lake Road South of 10 - 5,000 average daily trips- 1995 data County Rd I South of 10 -> 5,000 average daily trips- 1995 data County Rd I North of 10 - 5,800 average daily trips- 1995 data Highway 10 -40,000 average daily trips- 1994 data MnDot has recently conducted a traffic analysis of Highway 10 in Mounds View. SRF will present a summary of the data at the January 23rd meeting. The analysis monitoring, forecasting and recommendations for improvements. Access points along the study area were identified. • 2. Review Site Analysis and Zoning Information: This map contains more detail of the study area and includes zoning, land use, gross acreage of vacant land and estimated designation of wetlands. SRF described the general difference between zoning designation of B-2 and B-3. B-3 is generally heavy retail and merchandising use with a highway orientation and high use of traffic. B-2 is more office and neighborhood service commercial use with average traffic use. Public policy issues will most likely need to be addressed by the governing boards (ie: Council, Planning and EDC) regarding zoning and design standards to meet the recommendations that come out of the study process. SRF discussed the possible opportunity for a Planned Unit Development(PUD) designation in the area which would allow for different zoning uses within one development and offers certain flexible options when combining parcels. Good zoning status for mixed use development. Questions: • Commissioner Schmidt wondered if the access points that were identified on the base map were recognized by MnDot. Mr. Warner explained that from a legal standpoint every ti.. property owner has the right to access unless this access is purchased by MnDot. Mr. • Warner was unsure of the current status of some of the access points but felt that this should be answered by MnDot's study of the area. Mounds View CD Dir. Pam Sheldon noted that she had talked to a representative from MnDot recently and was informed that the turnback of Highway 10 to the County was pushed up to as soon as 1998, 1999. This is much sooner than anticipated. Park&Rec/Planning Commissioner Gary Stevenson noted that the Park&Recreation Commission would like an off road bike trail for the link system already in place on County Road I from Arden Hills to Fridley. Exercise: SRF distributed several questions for participants at the meeting to complete and a brainstorming session followed. (Please find attached list of questions). A summary of the brainstroming will be distributed at the January 23rd meeting. • • Section 9 Redevelopment Plan, Highway 10 Corridor City of Mounds View January 9, 1997 • What are three potential pitfalls associated with the development or redevelopment of corridor properties?
