Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Nov. 15, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />have not been put in because they are waiting for the grading to take place at Rice <br />Creek Commons. The County is also talking about plans for the area around <br />Building 189. Paul Erickson, Mark Erickson and Paul Beggin are there to give input <br />on their vision for the area. He continued that trails go in all directions from the <br />area. <br /> <br />National Sports Center Representative Paul Erickson stated the site is the best site in <br />the metro for a ski jump and other significant amateur sports activities. As a city <br />only resource, there would be no reason to go to the County or State for funding, but <br />if the City doesn’t want to contribute then they would have to go to the Legislature <br />for money. Arden Hills could partner with another city like Shoreview. He feels <br />the site has the potential to be the best cross country skiing in the state, along with <br />mountain biking. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Holmes questioned the exact location that Mr. Erickson was <br />speaking of. Mr. Erickson stated that they would work in conjunction with the <br />National Guard for temporary access for major events. <br /> <br />Chair Straumann asked if the area would be considered a regional attraction. Mr. <br />Erickson said it would, but it will take a major coalition of city, County, and State <br />but the resources in the site are there to do something special. <br /> <br />A large plan of the proposed trails was available for viewing by the Committee. <br />Mr. Erickson said the topography they are looking at is mostly located on AHATS <br />land, and would need approval from them. <br /> <br />Chair Straumann stated the next steps would be to go to the City Council with the <br />plan at the annual joint work session, then concurrently go to Ramsey County, then <br />Mounds View High School and sports groups and then the Army Training Center. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued as the committee looked at the proposed plan map. Mention was <br />made that the Army could use the trails for their own training as well. <br /> <br />Mr. Beggin suggested the Amateur Sports Commission put a document and map <br />together saying this is an optimum use for the resource, then have the PTRC look at <br />it, then present to Ramsey County, then to the National Guard. <br /> <br />Chair Straumann talked about the 7 mile tri-city loop he envisions in the area. <br /> <br />Paul Erickson discussed his work with the Blaine Sports Center and how Mark <br />Erickson could help with grant writing. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Knoll and Staff Liaison Thelen discussed a new version of a multi-use <br />field. <br /> <br />City Int erim Public Works Director Polka said the developer and City are still <br />working on costs for parks in the TCAAP area. <br />
