City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> o Round Lake Park- The open land west of Round Lake Park should be <br /> considered for acquisition. This land could provide adequate space for <br /> soccer fields, community gardens, ball fields, or other recreational uses. <br /> The amount of property to acquire would be determined by what <br /> programming needs exist at that time. This seeks to obtain the necessary <br /> area by park dedication and acquisition as possible. <br /> o Round Lake Trail Easements - The remaining easements are needed to <br /> complete the trail around the west and south sides of Round Lake. <br /> o Tony Schmidt Regional Park—While Tony Schmidt Regional Park is a <br /> Ramsey County park, the City encourages the County to expand its facility <br /> in accordance with their facility and land needs. The Tony Schmidt <br /> Regional Park Master Plan lists potential land acquisitions, which are <br /> shown on Figure 9.2 <br /> 9.4.5 TCAAP Redevelopment Area <br /> Of the 585 acres that are part of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment area, <br /> nearly 168 acres are tentatively planned to be used for parks, open spaces, and <br /> a wildlife corridor. <br /> Approximately 42 acres in the redevelopment area are anticipated to be used for <br /> community parks, gathering spaces, and open spaces. The land use design for <br /> the TCAAP property will likely include a large central park and a number of small <br /> neighborhood parks. The exact layout and use of these parks has not been <br /> determined; however, they are likely to be focused on local park and recreation <br /> needs. <br /> The City will be receiving approximately 49 acres of TCAAP property as a public <br /> benefit transfer in order to maintain a wildlife corridor between the AHATS <br /> property and Rice Creek. The City will transfer the 49 acres to Ramsey County <br /> for incorporation into the Rice Creek North Regional Trail in accordance with the <br /> approved Regional Trail Master Plan. <br /> Ramsey County has prepared and the City has approved the Rice Creek North <br /> Regional Trail Wildlife Corridor Habitat Restoration plan. Improvements, <br /> remediation, restoration and other development of the wildlife corridor property, <br /> prior to and following transfer to Ramsey County, will be guided by this plan. <br /> Trail connections for public use may be incorporated into the wildlife corridor. <br /> However, they must be designed and aligned so as not to impede the movement <br /> of wildlife. <br /> Approved: September 28, 2009 <br /> 9-12 <br />
