In either scenario, infrastructure improvements are proposed on the site to serve the needs of future development. <br />There will be two points of vehicle access to the site, one at CR 96 and the other at CR H. Ramsey County <br />proposes to construct a roadway through the site, connecting these two access points. From this newly created <br />access roadway, the city can develop a logical system of streets to provide safe and efficient access to the site. <br />The proposed County Road will carry the majority of traffic volumes on site and will be designed as a low- speed, <br />four-lane divided section with a trail on one side and sidewalk on the other (seeFigure 5-4). It will be designed to <br />County State Aid Highway (CSAH) standards. A supportive network of city streets that branch from the county <br />road will provide access to neighborhoods and businesses. Off-site roadway improvements necessary to support <br />both scenarios can be found in Item 18: Transportation. <br />The site will also contain a system of wet and dry utilities that will be constructed within the proposed County Road <br />corridor. The City of Arden Hills will construct the public utilities (water, sanitary and storm sewer), while right of <br />way will be made available for private utilities (gas, electric, and telecommunications). The City will be reimbursed <br />for its infrastructure expenditures through special assessments to developers and/or property owners. All utilities <br />are required to be installed underground per the City of Arden Hills Zoning Code (Section 1320.135). Regional <br />stormwater management and wetland mitigation facilities will be developed on site to manage runoff, provide <br />treatment, and to serve as an integral amenity/green corridor within the planned development (see Item 11: Water <br />Resources for more information). <br />Due to the presence of contaminated soils and groundwater in the AUAR study area from the prior use as an army <br />ammunition plant, the redevelopment will be preceded by environmental cleanup efforts and soil remediation. This <br />work began in March 2013 and is ongoing; it is anticipated to be completed by October 2015. Infrastructure <br />improvements are expected to be constructed in 2015 - 2016, including site access, County Roadway, mass site <br />grading, and trunk utilities. Site preparation for future development is expected to take up to two years with an <br />anticipated completion date of 2016. Development of individual lots would then move forward in a phased <br />approach dependent on demand over an anticipated 10 to 20 year timeframe. <br />6.1Project Magnitude Data <br />For a summary of the two development scenarios, seeTable 6-1. <br />T: <br />OTAL PROJECT ACREAGE <br />N: <br />UMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS UNATTACHEDATTACHEDMAXIMUM UNITS PER BUILDING <br />C,,(): <br />OMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL OR INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING AREAGROSS FLOOR SPACE TOTAL SQUARE FEET <br />I(): <br />NDICATE AREAS OF SPECIFIC USESIN SQUARE FEET <br />O:M: <br />FFICEANUFACTURING <br />R:O: <br />ETAILTHER INDUSTRIAL <br />W:I: <br />AREHOUSENSTITUTIONAL <br />L:A: <br />IGHT INDUSTRIALGRICULTURAL <br />O(): <br />THER COMMERCIALSPECIFY <br />B:I2,: <br />UILDING HEIGHTF OVER STORIES COMPARE TO HEIGHTS OF NEARBY BUILDINGS <br />Building heights of up to 5 stories are allowed under the current Comprehensive Plan, which is comparable to <br />other development adjacent to the adjacent I-35W corridor. <br />June 2014– Final AUAR3 <br />
