PUBLIC COMMENTS ON TCAAP MASTER PLANNING PROCESS - updated 9/25/13 <br />COMMENT <br />SOURCE <br />CITY/ORG CATEGORY(IES) COMMENT <br />OH #1 Open Space GREEN SPACE! Use green space to connect Rice Creek trails to 96 area. <br />OH #1 Seattle, WA Density Densities can be increased as long as meaningful public spaces are provided & mantained. <br />This site is literally completely surrounded by existing or planned regional trails. Keep that in mind <br />and make sure development connects to them. Residential neighborhoods need municipal parks, <br />and these parks should all have a safe-for-children link to the regional trail so families can safely <br />expand their recreation to the longer regional system. <br />Office and retail space should also connect, but in these cases emphasizing transportation, which <br />can be built differently than recreational links. <br />Also, take advantage of the open space and natural resources in choosing what goes where. Let <br />the residential areas be near the trails and Rice Creek, and the business development be near the <br />highways. <br />OH #1 Arden Hills, <br />Academy of <br />Model <br />Aeronautics <br />Open Space Looking for open space for model aviation activities. We also work with local Junior High, Senior <br />High and local universities for their aviation and engineering programs. <br />OH #1 Maplewood, <br />Academy of <br />Model <br />Aeronautics <br />Open Space, <br />Attractions <br />I would like to see an AMA site for R/C aircraft somewhere in this project. This would bring <br />people in from 20 miles in every direction since AMA R/C fields are in such short supply. These <br />people would utilize other aspects of this project too. <br />OH #1 Shoreview Process, Land <br />Uses <br />Developing a plan for this site is daunting but exciting! It presents an amazing opportunity. The <br />pressure to do it well and do it right likely weighs heavily on those responsible for making the final <br />decisions. <br />I grew up not far from here (I am now 76) and I hope someday to live in a lovely townhome on this <br />site. <br />Thank you for your excellent presentation this evening. <br />Trails, Open <br />Space <br />Shoreview, Metro <br />Parks & Open <br />Space <br />Commission <br />OH #1 <br />4
