_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills PTRC Meeting for July 18, 2019 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 - Summit Development - PUD, CPA, RZ, PP, FP Page 2 of 4 Land Exchange The City owns an approximately 4-acre parcel of land bordering the site on the west and extending north to the south side of Round Lake. This property is identified as part of the Arden Hills park system in both the 2030 and 2040 Comprehensive Plans; however, there are no current plans by the City to construct recreational amenities onsite. The development proposal involves an exchange of 0.37 acres of parkland for 0.03 acres of the Applicant’s property, as shown on the map below. The location of the proposed building triggers the need for the land exchange. As part of the early planning process, the developer met with neighboring property owners. During these meetings, the adjacent property owner to the east requested the Applicant shift the building further to the west to provide more distance between the new building and the existing home. The proposed location of the building would mitigate the property owner’s concerns. Park Improvements In return for allowing the land exchange, the Applicant is proposing to construct an 8-foot-wide bituminous trail with senior oriented workout stations. The Applicant is proposing five (5) to six (6) workouts stations. Each station will have senior oriented fitness equipment. The Applicant is proposing exercise equipment where the user remains seated as well as including accessible exercise options. The proposed equipment will be designed for all weather conditions. The equipment is designed for sitting related exercises and is safe for most users. The graphic below is shows where the proposed trails and exercise stations are located.
