City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 19, 2017 <br />9-14 <br /> <br />o Tony Schmidt Regional Park – While Tony Schmidt Regional Park is a <br />Ramsey County park, the City encourages the County to expand its facility <br />in accordance with their facility and land needs. The Tony Schmidt <br />Regional Park Master Plan lists potential land acquisitions, which are <br />shown on Figure 9.1. <br /> <br />9.4.5 TCAAP Redevelopment Area <br /> <br />Ramsey County purchased 427 acres of the TCAAP property in April 2013. The <br />City has approved the TCAAP Redevelopment Code to regulate zoning and land <br />uses. Approximately 24.3 acres are planned to be used for City parks and public <br />open space. Ramsey County is acquiring an additional 30 acres from the federal <br />government for a north-south trail and 78 acres for a future wildlife corridor and <br />trailhead. <br /> <br />Three City parks will be located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. <br />Amenities will be planned for each park based on the population served and to <br />complement existing amenities in the developed portion of the City. The timing <br />of park development will be aligned to the development of adjacent <br />neighborhoods. In order to provide flexibility the exact boundary and location of <br />each park include on the TCAAP property may move within its given district. <br />However, each park will be required to include the identified amenities within the <br />City’s TCAAP Master Parks and Open Space Plan. <br /> <br />Green space will be provided along a pedestrian corridor linking the primary retail <br />area west of the Spine Road to a City park on the eastern edge of the site. Trails <br />will be provided along the Spine Road and along a collector road adjacent to the <br />natural resources corridor. In cases where private development is immediately <br />adjacent to park and open space areas, the TCAAP Redevelopment Code <br />requires frequent pedestrian connections to open space. Connections to the <br />north-south trail corridor and trails in the wildlife corridor will be provided from <br />adjacent neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Ramsey County has prepared and the City has approved the Rice Creek North <br />Regional Trail Wildlife Corridor Habitat Restoration plan. Improvements, <br />remediation, restoration and other development of the wildlife corridor property, <br />prior to and following transfer to Ramsey County, will be guided by this plan. <br />Trail connections for public use may be incorporated into the wildlife corridor. <br />However, they must be designed and aligned so as not to impede the movement <br />of wildlife. <br /> <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
