I I- Proposal for Defense Conversion Assistance I for Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) I to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration I Submitted by City of Arden Hills, Minnesota I May 11, 1995 I Introduction I This Proposal for Defense Conversion Assistance (the Proposal) to the U.S. Commerce Department, Economic Development Administration (EDA) will, if accepted for funding, enable the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota (the City) "to facilitate the orderly redeployment of defense I created assets, to activities which help restructure and/or strengthen the City's economic base." The City is seeking funding to develop and implement a Phase II Master Reuse Plan (the Master Plan) for the reuse and redevelopment of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). .- The U.S. Department of Army, as an agency of the Department of Defense (DaD) has indicated that TCAAP is to be declared excess property. DaD currently is cleaning up environmental I contamination on-site and to remove some buildings which no longer are needed. When DaD finalizes the internal excessing process, TCAAP will be turned over to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for disposal. GSA excess property regulations, 41 CFR part 101-47, I reqnire, in part, that the City's planning and zoning policies be considered when deciding future reuse ofTCAAP. Completion of the City's Master Plan, along with implementation measures, is essential to protecting and enhancing the City's role in guiding the future reuse and I redevelopment ofTCAAP. I. Background on TeAAP . TCAAP consists of approximately 2,300 acres (3.6 square miles) situated entirely within the I municipal boundary of Arden Hills, in Ramsey County, Minnesota. It forms more than one-third of the total area of Arden Hills, TCAAP is bounded on the south by STH 96; on the east by Lexington Avenue; on the north by County Road I; on the west by I-35W; and on the southwest I by US Highway 10. It is located about 10 miles north of the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota I TCAAP is located entirely within the Metropolitan Council's Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) line, allowing access to regional systems (transportation, transit and sewer).
