City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-3 Approximately 1,611560 acres will remain under federal ownership; however, the Minnesota National Guard has a long-term lease for most of the land. A small portion is used for the Army Reserve station in the far southeastern corner of the property. This land is expected to remain under federal ownership for the foreseeable future. The Minnesota National Guard has designated their leased area as the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS). Although live munitions firing are prohibited on the site, the Minnesota National Guard does use the property for training purposes. Much of AHATS is anticipated to remain as open space, but the National Guard is in the process of developing a long-term master plan for the property. The Arden Hills Army Training Site While the AHATS master plan has not been finalized, it is anticipated to include a field maintenance shop, training area management building, division headquarters, state joint force headquarters, billeting, and a number of ancillary buildings. The project is also expected to include an armory/training center that could have a community center component. The potential future buildings would be located on the north and west sides of the Ramsey County/Arden Hills Public Works Facility at the northwest corner of the Hamline Avenue and Highway 96 intersection. The potential impacts of the AHATS master plan have not been fully evaluated, but it will increase use and workers on the National Guard property. The City seeks to maintain a working relationship with the Minnesota National Guard on planning activities and to potentially collaborate on a community center as part of the training facility. 5.1.3 Ramsey CountyCity of Arden Hills In 19942002, the General Services Administration (GSA)federal government formally declared 774 585 acres of the TCAAP property as excess that was to be sold.
