City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved: 9-14 o Round Lake Trail Easements - The remaining easements are needed to complete the trail around the west and south sides of Round Lake. o Tony Schmidt Regional Park – While Tony Schmidt Regional Park is a Ramsey County park, the City encourages the County to expand its facility in accordance with their facility and land needs. The Tony Schmidt Regional Park Master Plan lists potential land acquisitions, which are shown on Figure 9.1. 9.4.5 TCAAP Redevelopment Area Ramsey County purchased 427 acres of the TCAAP property in April 2013. The City has approved the TCAAP Redevelopment Code to regulate zoning and land uses. Approximately 24.3 acres are planned to be used for City parks and public open space. Ramsey County is acquiring an additional 30 acres from the federal government for a north-south trail and 78 acres for a future wildlife corridor and trailhead. Three City parks will be located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Amenities will be planned for each park based on the population served and to complement existing amenities in the developed portion of the City. The timing of park development will be aligned to the development of adjacent neighborhoods. In order to provide flexibility the exact boundary and location of each park include on the TCAAP property may move within its given district. However, each park will be required to include the identified amenities within the City’s TCAAP Master Parks and Open Space Plan. Green space will be provided along a pedestrian corridor linking the primary retail area west of the Spine Road to a City park on the eastern edge of the site. Trails will be provided along the Spine Road and along a collector road adjacent to the natural resources corridor. In cases where private development is immediately adjacent to park and open space areas, the TCAAP Redevelopment Code requires frequent pedestrian connections to open space. Connections to the north-south trail corridor and trails in the wildlife corridor will be provided from adjacent neighborhoods. Ramsey County has prepared and the City has approved the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Wildlife Corridor Habitat Restoration plan. Improvements, remediation, restoration and other development of the wildlife corridor property, prior to and following transfer to Ramsey County, will be guided by this plan. Trail connections for public use may be incorporated into the wildlife corridor. Draft 03/07/2018
