<br />Neighborhood parks in the Creek, Hill, and Town neighborhoods have been adjusted <br />slightly to accommodate amenities recommended by the PTRC. It is important to note <br />that the exact size, dimensions, and layouts of parks will be determined at a later date. <br /> <br /> <br />The Town neighborhood park adjacent to the existing water treatment facility has been <br />more clearly identified as a park. The civic area adjacent to the park contains the water <br />treatment facility and space for another civic use such as a small amphitheater or a <br />historical marker/display. <br /> <br /> <br />In the Creek neighborhood, the park location has been shifted to be closer to the entrance <br />to the neighborhood. This has been done to limit the amount of program-related traffic <br />driving through the neighborhood. <br /> <br /> <br />Pocket parks were removed as they are too small to be maintained and programmed by <br />the City. Developers will be encouraged to include pocket parks that will be privately <br />owned and maintained. <br /> <br /> <br />A park has been added to the Hill neighborhood just east of the Spine Road and south of <br />the surface water management area. <br /> <br /> <br />A block of residential development at the north end of the town neighborhood was <br />removed to accommodate anticipated storm water management needs in that area. <br /> <br /> <br />A second access road was added to the Creek neighborhood. Ramsey County has <br />informed the City that there is no funding source for the County Road I connection from <br />time. Without a commitment for a <br />County Road I connection at this location, a second access point is necessary for public <br />safety. <br /> <br /> <br />Five acres of flex business use was changed to retail at the Highway 96 access point. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br />Following City Council approval of the land use map, the City will begin working on the <br />regulations and policies component of the master planning process. This component will include <br />zoning, design standards, and other regulations relating to land development. A workshop with <br />the City Council and planning consultants to discuss the first sections of the zoning document is <br />tentatively scheduled for August 18, 2014, during the regular City Council work session at 5:00 <br />pm in the Council Chambers. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br /> <br />A.Master Plan Land Use Map <br /> <br />B.Presentation Materials <br /> <br />22 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
