ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JUNE 30, 2014 7 Andrew Dresdner, Cuningham Group, discussed the horizontal distribution of land within the TCAAP project. He explained that flexibility was an important element to this site, while also finding ways to tie this property into Arden Hills. The site organization was reviewed, along with the location of the three proposed neighborhoods. He reported that the thumb was an excellent site for a corporate campus. He anticipated that the TCAAP site would support approximately 4,000 jobs. Mr. Dresdner provided comment on the enhanced design standards that would be required at the entrances to TCAAP. He commented that TCAAP would have life cycle housing that would attract people both young and old. The potential look and feel for the Creek, Hill and Town neighborhoods were further reviewed. Mr. Dresdner discussed the planned green space, trail connections, open spaces, two neighborhood parks, and stormwater management for the TCAAP. He indicated that there would be a trail connection all the way through the site via the spine road. It was noted that this connection would continue into the wildlife corridor. He stated that stormwater management would provide access to nature, while cleaning/filtering the water runoff. It was noted that TCAAP would have five recreational parks. The unique features planned for the Town Center park were described. Mr. Dresdner explained that TCAAP would be like Arden Hills as it would have identifiable neighborhoods while having views of nature. He explained the ways that TCAAP would differ from the older portions of Arden Hills in that it would have a walkable downtown area with life cycle housing. He thanked Council and staff for their input throughout the entire planning process and asked for comments or questions. Councilmember Holden asked if Town Square was zoned civic or park. Ms. Dresdner clarified that this area was zoned park within the land use map. He explained that the water treatment facility was zoned civic and was approximately 2.5 acres in size. Councilmember Holden questioned how Mr. Dresdner determined a density of 1,500 to 1,700 units for the TCAAP site. Mr. Dresdner discussed his calculations for the site based on each neighborhood, noting this was based on the size of each neighborhood and the proposed density per acre. Councilmember Holden noted that the spine road amenities were unknown at this time. While she would love to have everything that is being presented tonight in the photographs from staff, this may be cost prohibitive. Mayor Grant discussed the flex district. He wanted to see quality buildings and high paying jobs on TCAAP. He encouraged the Council to take a 100 year view of this property, which should include the AHATS site. He explained that the map does not include a roundabout at the end of the spine road. He indicated that this proposed location for the roundabout was not within TCAAP and would be determined at a future date. He understood that the County was interested in extending the spine road into the thumb.
