If no assessment has been levied, the assessable cost will be determined upon the basis of the uniform charge which may have been or which shall be charged for similar tapping or connection with said main and trunk system, determined on the basis of the total assessable cost of the water main and trunk water system, allocated on a frontage basis, plus the cost of service or services.

Participants spent time, in groups, considering each area and planning for its redevelopment - new housing, commercial space, light industrial space.and community amenities. Groups created and named` development scenarios and our bousing finance expert provided feedback on the proposed development's financial feasibility; offering strategies a developer might pursue to create a sUc cessful development.

MO. The Vadnais. Height& southwest.quad rant site would be a great site for higher density housing;. with scaled down design to buffer it from the surrounding residential area. Commercial uses.will be difficult for access. It doesn't all need to be apartments. You could also include townhomes and single family with higher and medium density multifamily. The Vadnais. Heights northeast quadrant is large with 44 acres and will require soil remediation. It's another great housing site, or may also be commercial given that it's more visible from County Road E. The White Bear Lake. sites are smaller and would be tough. to make into apartments. It's hard to work at such a srrail"scale because.of parking requirements.

Help people. d*r business owners to own.their no businesses closed and no LTs help to stabilize people through MM What are the goals 6r each community? What's missing? How can sites help to achievd those goals? The desire for walkability and bike -ability to be a positive experience Es hard to do along a busy arterial road, It's difficult to cross County Road E. How can'you create internal walkability on larger parcels that allow people to feel safe, and comfortably connect to areas that fan out from the area? Take. Southdale as an example. Even with the additional development in the area people don't feel comfortable crossing the main streets. Unless the road is down -sized it will be difficult to have enjoyable walkability. The. corners of key intersections are the most hostile locations within the corridor. Mendota Heights worked to preserve a "Main Street feel" by creating a synergy between parcels rather than living as separate parcels. Notice how sidewalks dead-end at driveways. Encourage privately owned sidewalks to be connected to each other. 3 1 Page When thinking about public spaces, decide if it will be: Natural settings with woods/prairie, or R Active uses (include ten or more things to do). Public spaces don't work.if you try to do both at once. LS The block exercise scenarios show thoughtful consideration about what ctruld go into these sites. Thank you for these great ideas. All housing types are important to create a vibrant community, and community input. is critical. The Vadnais Heights sites are more.housing driven. The 44-acre site is an exciting opportunity— itcould include a variety of uses and housing types. The closeness to retail is also an advantage. The southwest site screams housing. You can also include open space or park that can be programmed: There. is a lot of housing: in the area and not many parks. Creatiing an active spot for community services as a q u as i-pu bl Up rivate spot could be` nteresting, The. Gem Lake sites are likely to be mixed -use commercial and; housing. Verfical;(stacked) mixed -use is hard to manage. Horizontal (separate ijaildings) is an easier option.

When cities are approached by developers it's; important far community members to identify what they would like to see :The Vadnais Heights sites are housing. We've had experience_;working with -,out -lots such as these (e.g., around the Sports Complex} atd after trying lots of things finally figured out what's possible. The Bellaire parcqls are tigizt sites and will. be difficult to find the right fit Industrial buildings Are some of the nicest businesses. in town, yet most people are afraid of being nexf'to them. They provide excellent jobs. Rates are finally moving on the leasing side, making them more viable options. We need incubator spaces for businesses. Many businesses that serve the metro area have to come in from far-flung areas. They need locations to be closer to their customers. Where are there places for these businesses to .go? We continue to. convert industrial areas into housing, pushing these businesses further and further out. Things.are moving fast. We do need housing. We also need to get behind the developers that are trying to bring projects and investments into your communities. The time it takes to overcome the hurdles of community push -back. 4jPage often make projects unravel. Too much unpredictability will cause developers and investors to go.elsewhere. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mayor Gretchen Artig-Swomley: Gem Lake Clarified that Hoffman Road was the old. Highway 61 (historic). Gem Lake has planned for its possible demise. The future Cadillac site flanks both Vadnais Heights.and Gem.Lake. The frontage road dead -ends in Gem. Lake and could provide opportunities to reconfigure the access to the area. Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, Ramsey Couniy Environmental concerns: Ramsey County has .an. Environmental Response Fund that developers can access through the cities. ;Suburbs have great opportunities to get access to these funds. The Ramsey Caurty Housing 'Redevelopment Authority (HRA) also has housing funds a► aiiable. The County has created processes to streamline access to these resources. Shoreview had a wet site that accessed Ramsey County Environmenal,,Respanse .funding. ; LS Lots of commercial space is not occupied. To redevelop these areas cities need to work fag then and support each other. More housing is needed to increase the spend Jng'power to support the businesses. Creating more. housing is the first:step toward attracting businesses to the -area. Parcel swaps are also a good idedlo right -fit commercial uses. Think about it as a regional strategy. JS An example is tho; "mer Bank site in St. Anthony. Is there activation and place -making strategies that could be supported by the three cities? MM Does County Road E have a community vision? Can it be a cohesive district? What experience does County Road E deliver to the people that use it? What are the pieces? Once you have answers to those questions, get the messages out through marketing. Rice and Larpenteur is largely suburban that borders three cities. It had a. negative narrative (e.g., strip clubs, abandoned area). The Rice and Lar enteurAlliance engaged businesses, put on events, .marketing to create anew narrative to fill the void with positive things. Create a 51Page vehicle to collect. a new narrative and share it out to the community. The way people think about things affects their behavior. The narrative can be amplified through events and programs, creating places to congregate, places to bring kids and that are family focused..

A hemp -based building material—hmp-c= Sh tPAVLWmmh=pitee orn/h mP_=)_ is pining popularity for its insulating properties. Cannabinoid.—Most of the chemicals derived from cannabis are.cailed cannabinoids. CBD and THC are the most well-known of the more than 100 cannabinoids found in the plant.

Though anecdotal accounts of its efficacy abound, scientific backing for these claims is often lacking, as is research into side effects. "Some observational and clinical studies lead to CBD's effectiveness and safety in chronic pain; however, the evidence is not strong enough to obtain a proper recommendation," states a review of available research published by Cureus in Jay fILUPs,,ZLW-w.n&I.nlmjQ gQvZpmrJarticleslPMC9288157n .

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved one drug using CBD — Epidiolex —which.treats seizures related to several diseases: No other CBD products are allowed to make health claims. THC —Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most potent -and well-known cannabinoid naturally occurring in high concentrations in cannabis plants, namely the flower buds.
