housing. We recommend that the housing be made available to any organization which can, <br /> through the McKinney Act and other federal processes, make appropriate use of the buildings <br /> elsewhere on or off the property. <br /> Future population and other circumstances may dictate a need for more educational space. If <br /> the'need develops for greater educational space, school development should be designed in such <br /> a manner as to minimize the amount of land needed, to use the features of the land in such a <br /> way as to encourage that it does not infringe upon nor use open space. <br /> 4. Economic Development Commercial, office and industrial development opportunities <br /> exist on the property which will benefit the surrounding communities and the larger metropolitan <br /> area. It is important to create an environment which encourages a broad range of development <br /> opportunities and jobs. Create a development climate which encourages the formation of a wide <br /> range of development opportunities and job types. To that end, provide at least 200 acres for <br /> the redevelopment of Office,Commercial, and/or Industrial uses adjacent to Interstate 35W, US <br /> IHighway 10, and State Highway 96. <br /> 5. _Integration a_ Encourage the integration of the transportation, governmental, educational, <br /> and recreational services with the adjacent communities where possible. Encourage multiple and <br /> shared uses, buildings, and facilities to minimize the infrastructure costs and impervious areas <br /> on the site. Encourage the construction Of a joint public works facility along the Highway 10 <br /> Ior 96 corridor. Allow the City of Arden Hills to obtain and use the land south of the service <br /> road on the south side of Sunfish lake to construct a City Hall/Government Center. <br /> Development in the area should be done in a manner which ensures protection of the Desmodi <br /> P unt <br /> illinoense. <br /> 6. Infrastructure Design and construct an infrastructure system that minimizes the negative <br /> effects on the environment and that protects.the East-West Corridor and the migration of animals <br /> between Rice Creek and the park reserve, yet provides for the development requirements of the <br /> site. Stormwater retention ponds which may be needed should be kept within the developed <br /> areas of the site, outside of designated-open space. Developers should retain responsibility for <br /> locating these ponds within their own development areas. Reuse existing on-site infrastructure <br /> to the extent that is practical and cost-effective. <br /> Transportation-for the site should be designed and built in a manner that is sensitive to the <br /> environment. It should include an internal system of roads that is transit friendly. The <br /> transportation plan should link TCAAP to the rest of Arden Hills and adjacent communities as <br /> well as to the regional transportation system; encourage alternate travel modes such as biking <br /> and walking by creating pedestrian-friendly environments and link activity centers with trails and <br /> other non-vehicular routes; include public transit; and promote desirable development patterns. <br /> 7. Railroad Right-of-Way The railroad right-of-way extending from TCAAP to Long Lake <br /> Regional Park should be preserved as future regional trail connections. Trails within TCAAP <br /> should connect this trail segment with the Rice Creek Regional Trail and the proposed regional <br />
