u___ ~ , ~ CITY OF ARDEN HILLS 1450 WEST HIGHWAY 96 . ARDEN HILLS, MN 55112-5794 September 25, 1992 Theodore E. Schulte VIA DELIVERY Commander's Representative Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant New Brighton, MN 55112 RE: Arden Hills City Hall/Public Works/Parks Facility TCAAP Land Acquisition . . Dear Mr. Schulte: Please accept this correspondence as a re-affirmation by the City of Arden Hills of our very strong interest in gaining access to TCAAP property at Sunfish Lake for new City Hall/Public Works/Parks facilities. Preliminary design drawings for the proposed facilities are attached for your information and review. We have also attached our previous correspondence - 6.26.92 and 7.2292 - to assure that your files are complete. The City of Arden Hills wishes to obtain a lease with TCAAP for the property necessary to construct the proposed facilities. Simultaneous with this exercise, we would like to pursue outright release of all TCAAP property east of the extension of Hamline to Arden Hills. The City's immediate need is the land area necessary for the new City Hall and Public Works/Parks facilities. We understand the environmental contamination issues associated with Site H on the north side of Sunfish lake and with the M-550 Grenade Area on the north end of the larger parcel. Fortunately, we do not need those site areas for the proposed facilities (see attached exhibits for illustration of the proposed buildings and their locations). Finally, in response to the letter from Don E. lappin, Chief, General law /Congressional Affairs. Division to Anne Crowther of Senator Dave Durenberger's Office (also attached), we hereby request that the installation commander determine whether or not the property can be declared excess Utem 1) and, secondly, state that the City of Arden Hills is prepared to undertake the environmental assessment (Item 2), at its cost, to facilitate this proposed land transfer. .
