<br />Administration Department <br /> <br />Our mission is to promote a high quality of life to <br />those we serve through outstanding city services <br />3301 Silver Lake Road, St. Anthony, MN 55418 612-782-3301 | www.savmn.com <br /> <br />February xx, 2023 <br /> <br />Urban Land Institute <br />Technical Assistance Panel <br /> <br /> <br />1. Cover Letter <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to request assistance from the ULI Technical Assistance Panel. <br />We hope you find our proposed project worthy of assistance. The Silver lake Village district is <br />located in Ramsey County, on the city’s northwest border with Columbia Heights and New <br />Brighton. The area was previously the Apache Mall, and was redeveloped about 20 years ago. <br /> <br />Additional redevelopment has taken place in recent years, with more likely to some, and <br />discussion around the desire for additional green space has risen to the surface. The City would <br />appreciate the perspective of development experts to offer to help guide future redevelopment <br />in the area to meet changing market needs and increased desire for green space. <br /> <br />The Mayor and City Council are strong, stable, and set sound public policy, and the Planning <br />Commission and Parks & Environmental Commission both comprise qualified and passionate <br />members. In addition, the city staff truly care about the future of the city and its residents. All <br />are willing and able to participate in the TAP process. <br /> <br />The city believes this project could be transferable to other areas in the region, where master <br />plans from 20-30 years ago are not entirely consistent with current and future needs and <br />desires. This presents a challenge to guide redevelopment differently and more closely than a <br />Comprehensive Plan alone can achieve. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Study Area Synopsis <br /> <br />The desired project area for consideration is below. The boundary of the project area is Stinson <br />Boulevard to the east, Silver Lake Road to the west, Silver lane to the north and County Road 93 <br />to the south (generally). It is surrounded by a mix of single-family homes, multi-family <br />properties and small commercial properties. <br />
