Project Status Memo 3 <br />If the city approves Alatus’s latest version of the plan by the end of the year, then the county can <br />vote on it early next year. If approved, work on a road and water and sewer systems can start in <br />2017, said Ramsey County Commissioner Blake Huffman, who represents Arden Hills. <br /> <br />“From what we’re seeing, I don’t anticipate any difficulties in the county approving the changes <br />to the master plan,” Huffman said. “From our perspective, the original was a good plan, but now <br />it looks like it’s going to be an even better plan.” <br /> <br />SUPPORT AND RESERVATIONS <br />Most of the community is excited to see the land developed, but even those who look forward to <br />the development cite concerns about the density of Rice Creek Common’s proposed Town <br />Center neighborhood. <br /> <br />Some in Arden Hills worry that the density — which increases dramatically due to multistory <br />apartment buildings and a proposed condominium — could cause additional traffic problems, <br />increase public safety costs and affect other residents nearby, Holden said. <br /> <br />Holden, who has served on the city council since 2002, is also concerned about the level of <br />oversight the city will have over additional changes to the plan made by the developer as the <br />project progresses. <br /> <br />Supporters of the new plan say that the development will add to everything that Arden Hills <br />already has to offer, provide an unprecedented chance to grow and provide a valuable bump in <br />property tax revenue for Ramsey County. <br /> <br />“This is probably the largest undeveloped parcel that close in to the Twin Cities area,” Grant <br />said. “Not only that … you really get to design the project without any encumbrances, so that’s <br />very exciting. Very few communities get an opportunity of this size.”
