Engineering Planning Surveying Landscape Architecture KUUSISTO LTD 11- 119S9 June 15, 1999 Planning Commissioners City of St. Anthony Village 3301 SilverZake Road . St. Anthony Village, MN 55418 Dear Planning Commissioners:.. Pursuant to our consultant contract regarding St. Anthony Shopping Center and subsequent to recent community meetings, I have now have enclosed copies.of alternative draft Land Use plan concepts. These alternatives are presented in both narrative,and-visual forms. They are presented to you at this time, for discussion purposes only. These two concept plans reflect the community vision but each with a.different emphasis. Concept one is amore aggressive redesign of the center. This concept expands and redesigns the retail buildings at their existing location by creating mini-malls with internal circulation. It also proposes a cultural/entertainment center at the location of the previous grocery store. This'plan also proposes an enhanced natural and community environment through anew village.green and linear park. A.broader residential component is also part of this concept with townhomes proposed south of Autunm Woods. Concept Two is scaled back from Concept Oneand office uses are emphasized. This concept rehabilitates the retail buildings at their existing location but does not expand them. This plan also proposes an enhanced natural environment consisting of a new village green without a linear park. This concept also focuses on expanding office uses. Both in the northern and southern sections of.the parcel new office buildings are proposed. Again, these concepts are presented to provide for fruitful discussion before • _ deciding on a final land use plan. If you have questions or comments, fell free to call me at 933-0972. rely, Richard Krier, AICP Offices.
