I I . proposals. The first assumption was that Hamline Avenue would not run through the protected areas. Instead, the bulk of traffic would I proceed on Lexington Avenue. The second assumption was that the state agencies that are currently located at the arsenal would remain on the property. The third assumption was that Alliant I Tech's operations would move off-site in the future, or into any possible future commercial development areas on TCAAP. The fourth assumption was that the National Guard operation would not move. I The first re-use map that was presented was a residential concept. This map included extensive areas of single family low-density, single family medium-density, and mUlti-family housing units. I Industrial and commercial development areas would be located on the HWY 10 side. I Terry Reuther told the committee that he was strongly opposed to a golf course that was shown on this map, as golf courses are an environmental threat. Ms. Levin reminded Mr. Reuther that the maps were a preliminary idea of possible re-use and that the golf course I was only one of many options that could be explored for that particular area. Mr. Fritsinger told the committee that any fertilizer run-off from a golf course would be remediated.

This I designation implies that the area has special features that are not readily zoned for specific purposes, and should be given flexibility for possible special re-use opportunities. I Matt Fulton asked Ms. Levin the estimated amount of people this particular re-use plan would bring to the city of Arden Hills. Ms. Levin estimated that it would bring 7000 people to the city. I The second proposed re-use map was a "Town Center" concept. This map included a large area off Hwy 10 which would be developed as a I town center area. This area could consist of municipal buildings, businesses, theaters, restaurants, or amphitheaters. The purpose of this area would be to increase the sense of community and to be a I focal point for the community. This area would attract many people for entertainment and civic events. The third proposed re-use map was an "Office/Industrial" concept. I The main focus of this re-use plan utilizes the railway connections that exist on the arsenal to create a large, thriving industrial area. Ms. Levin estimated that this type of industrial development I would create 8 million square feet of industrial space, translating to 30,000 jobs.
