<br /> <br />165th STREET AUAR <br />August 14, 2025 Open House <br /> <br /> <br />Participant Worksheet <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. What types of land uses do you envision along the 165th Street corridor? Is there a <br />land use scenario you prefer? <br /> <br />● If we HAVE to pick one, Option 3 is the most palatable. Of the three plans, this one <br />produces the least amount of “ugly transformation” / damage to our current <br />surroundings and way of life. However, we would ask that everything currently <br />coded MD (orange) on the Option 3 map INSTEAD be turned yellow (LD), including <br />the HD currently mapped to go right next door on the East - and also right behind us. <br /> <br />● We hate everything about Option 1. We didn’t buy our cute little hobby farm in <br />“rural-feeling” Hugo, only to end up “surrounded” by high-density housing right <br />across the street and Industrial operations just one property away, as well as down <br />the street and right behind us.) Sadly, we could have stayed where we were in St. <br />Paul for 30 years (nestled in a residential neighborhood) and had a much better <br />situation long term. <br /> <br />[Sorry if that all sounds “dramatic” but the heartbreak and regret at this point is real.] <br /> <br />● Option 2 is slightly “better” … but the idea of having just one property between us <br />and Commercial development (as well as mixed use kitty-corner) is almost as bad as <br />Option 1. It would change every single thing we love about where we live and why <br />we (intentionally) bought here. <br /> <br />2. What type of improvements do you want to see to 165th Street? <br /> <br />● None. Nothing at all. We love it exactly the way it is. <br /> <br />● IF a trail is implemented, as is being discussed, we STRONGLY prefer that it be <br />located on the NORTH side of 16th (please!). Homes on the North side are set back <br />further and are more easily able to absorb the land loss. Our property, on the other <br />hand, would practically be “on” the road if the trail was located on the South side. <br /> <br /> <br />1
