Cardinal Crest Development Rezoned to LDR3 to Allow 14 Senior Housing Units
Council adopted an ordinance rezoning property at 9050 Easter River Road from LDR1 to LDR3, and approved preliminary and final plats for the Cardinal Crest development. The developer initially sought to change zoning from LDR1 to LDR2 to allow 11 homes, then requested a change to LDR3 to accommodate 14 homes, aligning with new regulations allowing smaller lots for increased density. The development will be senior housing managed by an HOA. [cite: 166-224]
Joint Powers Agreement Approved for Bridgewater Biochar Water Quality Project
Council approved a joint powers agreement with the Creek Watershed District for the Bridgewater biochar and iron enhanced sand filter project. This large project impacts a small portion of Rapids and is a joint venture with Anoka County, the City of Blaine, and the city. Each entity contributes proportionally based on impact: Rapids ($95,000), Blaine ($400,000), and Anoka County ($22,000). The majority of funding comes from a clean water grant administered by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. The project focuses on Creek ditches near University Avenue and 170th/115th Street and aims for construction completion by fall 2027. The goal is to clean up water that eventually flows to the river.
