City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan- DRAFT been determined, it is known that this area will not be developed. This area is likely to include some type of regional athletic use, such as ball fields or soccer fields. The remaining 42.4 acres are anticipated to be used for community parks, gathering spaces, and open spaces. The preliminary land use design for the TCAAP property includes a large park in the central part of the property and a number of small neighborhood parks along the eastern boundary (map). The exact layout and use of these parks has not been determined; however, they are likely to be focused on local park and recreation needs. As part of the TCAAP redevelopment planning process, a detailed park, open space, and pathway plan is being prepared, which will likely be incorporated into this Comprehensive Plan upon completion. 9.6 Implementation 9.6.1 Priority Setting To help ensure continued progress on implementing this Plan, a long-term priority list must be set by the City. With the priorities laid out, the City will be able to make spending determinations on an annual basis and coordinate improvements with other projects such as road improvements. The priority list will need to be evaluated on a yearly basis to measure progress and to adjust the list with changing circumstances and priorities. A fully functioning and complete park and pathway system adds to the attractiveness of the City and to the values of all property owners. Creating a project list for each year will help the City and the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee focus on implementing high priority projects. The priority list for moving forward is established as follows: TO BE DETERMINED As noted above, this list must be flexible in order to respond to changing conditions and opportunities. 9.6.2 Partnerships DRAFT 54 3/14/2008
