MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 599-99
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING TOLD DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND PROPOSED
LAND SWAP
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council has asked the Planning Commission to
review the TOLD Development Co, concept for the Videen parcel and city owned remnant
parcel; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the TOLD Development Co.
(TOLD) proposal and made the following findings:
1. The proposed retail/restaurant/clinic land uses if designed properly are
compatible with surrounding land uses. TOLD has indicated a willingness
to design the structures and use building materials which are consistent
with adjacent buildings.
2. The proposed development is isolated from residential uses.
3. The proposed land use is consistent with the future land use designation of
the site as shown in the draft comprehensive plan currently being reviewed
by the Planning Commission.
4. The proposed use is consistent with the current zoning of the Videen
property. Rezoning of the city remnant parcel would be required.
5. TOLD is willing to relocate the stormwater holding pond on the remnant
parcel at their expense.
6. TOLD is willing to trade approximately 7.4 acres of land for approximately
1.5 acres ofland. The City could use the 7.4 acres ofland to protect the
existing wetland, to provide additional recreational opportunities, and to
provide stormwater improvements.
7. TOLD is willing to contribute towards the cost of recreational
improvements on the 7.4 acre parcel.
8. TOLD will attempt to have the existing billboard removed.
9. The Park and Recreation Commission has indicated general support of the
TOLD proposal.
10. The TOLD proposal is the best that has been presented and the developer
is willing to work with the city to address all issues.
11. At this time the Planning Commission does not believe that the land swap
would result in unacceptable costs to the City. The City Council should
look at the total costs of the land swap.
.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
supports the TOLD concept and the proposed land swap. Approval of any specific development
proposal should be through the normal city development review process after any required public
hearings are held. The Planning Commission reserves the right to make additional specific
recommendations through this process.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this
resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 1 st day of December, 1999.
