City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />10-9 <br />10.5 NATURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY MAP <br /> <br />Although the portion of Arden Hills south of Highways 96 and 10 is considered fully <br />developed, there is an abundance of mature trees, lakes, wetlands, open spaces, parks, <br />and other natural amenities that give the City its highly valued natural and well- <br />landscaped character. The southern two thirds of Arden Hills contain more than 363 <br />acres of public parks and undevelopable open spaces. Northwestern College, Bethel <br />University, and Mounds View High School also contain highly valued natural areas of <br />varying character and quality. <br /> <br />The Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) property is also home to some of the most <br />significant natural resources in Arden Hills, including lakes, wetlands, woodlands, <br />meadows, rolling terrain, and vistas. The kame, which is a geological formation made <br />by retreating glaciers, is located in the central part of the property and is the highest <br />point in Ramsey County. While some institutional development from the Minnesota <br />National Guard may occur on the southern part of the AHATS property, much of that <br />area is anticipated to remain as open space. The AHATS property is not open freely to <br />the public, but the National Guard does allow some scheduled visits on the property. <br /> <br />Of the 585 acres on the TCAAP property that are anticipated to be sold to the City for <br />redevelopment, preliminary plans include approximately 168 acres for use as open <br />space in the form of parks, wetlands, stormwater areas, recreational areas, and a <br />wildlife corridor. <br /> <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District has compiled data and generated a resource <br />protection map to show areas of significant natural resources (Figure 10.3). The map is <br />only intended to be a guide and is not detailed enough for site specific planning as there <br />may be inaccuracies due to the scale of the assessment. Additional information <br />regarding feasibility and site condition should be collected before utilizing this <br />information at a smaller scale. <br /> <br />This resource protection map has two primary purposes. First, it is meant to help <br />develop regulations to protect significant natural resources where it is feasible to do so. <br />Second, it is meant to help make more informed development decision in places where <br />there may be significant resources. The map displays the following information: <br />o Remaining natural areas within your community <br />o Results of a natural resource assessment <br />o Results of a wetland restoration assessment <br />o Lakes and streams currently listed on the 303(d) list of impaired waters <br />o Results of lake water quality assessment <br /> <br /> Draft 04/04/2018
