Page 2
WHEREAS, there has been much community sentiment regarding the inappropriateness
of future residential development fronting Highway 10; and,
WHEREAS, in a study completed by SRF Consulting in April, 1997, the property at 2625
Highway 10 was deemed to be too restrictive for stand-alone development due to access
limitations and size constraints; and,
WHEREAS, the SRF study indicated that development potential of the property located
at 2625 Highway 10 would be enhanced if combined with adjacent properties; and;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt Ordinance 614, and ordinance approving the
rezoning of properties located at 2625 Highway 10 and 7715-61 Eastwood Road to B-2, Limited
Business District.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs Staff
to forward this Resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 15th day of April, 1998.
