City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for April 9, 2018 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-004 - Preliminary & Final Plat - TCAAP\Memos_Reports_18-004 Page 2 of 4 County Road I. Under the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City and Ramsey County, the County is responsible for the timely preparation of a survey and initial plat of the TCAAP site as part of the implementation of the TCAAP Master Plat. The Preliminary Plat and Final Plat being considered would accomplish this requirement of the JPA. The purpose of the plat is to define an accurate boundary of the property and to simplify the current legal description. Several large road and infrastructure projects have recently been completed on or adjacent to the property and the platting process will allow for the transfer of these portions of the property to public agencies. Two large outlots would also be created for the future Rice Creek Commons development. These outlots would be further subdivided and replatted at the time of the future development. The current platting process is not associated with any specific development on the site. The following is a description of the outlots and right-of-way dedications on the Final Plat: • Outlot A (40.10 acres): This parcel will be further subdivided and developed in the future as part of the Rice Creek Commons development • Outlot B (2.89 acres): This parcel will be dedicated to Ramsey County Parks and Recreation for the Rice Creek North Regional Trail corridor and the remeander of Rice Creek • Outlot C (372.05 acres): This parcel will be further subdivided and developed in the future as part of the Rice Creek Commons development • Outlot D (1.00 acres): This parcel will be dedicated to Ramsey County Parks and Recreation for the Rice Creek North Regional Trail corridor along the eastern boundary of the Rice Creek Commons site • Outlot E (1.83 acres): This parcel will cover the piece of land west of CSAH 13 where a retention pond is located • Right-of-Way Dedication (10.84 acres): Rights-of-way will be dedicated to MnDOT for the new County Road H and I-35W interchange and to Ramsey County for CSAH 13 connecting County Road H and County Road I. The future subdivision of Outlot A and Outlot C within the Rice Creek Commons development area will be reviewed by the TCAAP Joint Development Authority (JDA) in accordance with the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. The JDA Board consists of two members from the Arden Hills City Council, two members from the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, and one appointed resident from Arden Hills who serves as the JDA Chair. Plan Evaluation A full evaluation of the proposal was presented to the Planning Commission on March 7, 2018. The staff report to the Planning Commission on this case is provided in Attachment E. One minor change was made to the Final Plat following the Planning Commission review. Outlot E was created on the west side of CSAH 13 to cover an area of land where a retention pond was
