Stairs from the patio terminate at the lot line — and the plantings expand into the public right-of-way. This is along a single lane road with bike paths on either side. The building sets new precedents — it is closer to Valley View Road than any of the existing buildings all the way from Hwy 100 to the Crosstown.

Zoning is a watchdog on the beauty of the community. It ensures that properties are being used in the most appropriate manner and that overcrowding does not occur. It also ensures that homes and businesses meet certain community standards. The three primary services of zoning are to develop and maintain the Landuse Regulations (zoning), enforce zoning controls and provide information, and make recommendations on projects to the Planning Commission which acts as the City's Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Zoning Enforcement For zoning complaints requiring investigation, contact James Schedin in the Police Department at 952-949-6200.
