Planning Process Summary - <br /> The City of Arden Hills wanted the Park,Trail and Open Space Plan to accurately reflect community desires <br /> and needs. A public opinion survey was conducted and a series of public open house meetings, Park, Trail <br /> and Recreation Committee meetings and workshop sessions were held to gather input and to prepare the <br /> Plan. <br /> Public Opinion Survey: In February 2001 a detailed public opinion survey was sent to each Arden Hills <br /> household. Approximately 15%of the households completed the survey. The survey results are summarized <br /> on page_and a copy of the survey and responses is contained in Appendix A. <br /> Open House Meetings: Four public open house meetings were held in August 2001 to gather information <br /> about city-wide and neighborhood park,trail and open space needs. The meetings were held in four different <br /> locations throughout the city. A summary of the meeting results is included in Appendix B. A community <br /> open house was held on , 2001 to review the draft plan and recommendations. <br /> Committee Meetings and Work Sessions: The Arden Hills Parks Trails and Recreation Committee (PTRQ <br /> is an advisory committee appointed by the City Council to advise city staff and the Council on park, trail, <br /> recreation and open space issues. The PTRC oversaw preparation of the plan, provided detailed guidance <br /> and input into the process,and worked with the consulting planners, city staff and the community to prepare <br /> the plan recommendations. <br /> Review of Existing Plans and Coordination with Other Jurisdictions: A number of existing plans were <br /> reviewed to help prepare this plan. The Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan, the TCAAP (Twin City Army <br /> Ammunition Plant) Vento Re-use Master Plan, Ramsey County Parks and Trails plans, year 2000 Census <br /> data,adjacent communities parks and trail plans,and the Arden Hills Gateways plan were all helpful resources. <br /> Site Analysis and PTRC and Staff Input: City staff,and the planning consultants visited each park and many <br /> trail corridors to map and document existing conditions and to plan for future improvements. PTRC members <br /> analyzed each trail segment and prepared detailed recommendations. City park management,programming, <br /> maintenance, legal and finance staff all participated in the plan preparation or review. <br /> It is hoped that the depth of participation in the planning process will pay dividends by creating ownership <br /> in the plan and political support for the resource allocations needed to implement the plan recommendations. <br /> ARDEN HILLS PARKS, RECREATION <br /> & TRAILS COMMUNITY SURVEY 4�'f#i it XSA ]�1 <br /> 4 l <br /> please take a moment to fill out this survey a"drop N In the mall by March 23,2001.No additional postage is <br /> necaasary.Your input Is very important and will help guide part and recreation decisions.Thank you for your time. <br /> i.
