• Wetland buffer creation in accordance with requirements where necessary. • Extension of sanitary sewer and water main for this development and Ramsey County Parks. • Installation of stormwater management facilities to provide volume control, water quality and rate control for runoff from the new development. • Extension of public trailways and sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity to the Park. • Comprehensive development landscape plan with perimeter landscaping. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN It is the applicant’s intent to provide a Warehouse-Office Park development consistent with the City of Arden Hills goals for this area and input provided by City Staff. As such, the current application proposes for the re-zoning of the subject property to I-2 under the City’s current Zoning classifications. This will provide the flexibility necessary to attract businesses that require needed parking and storage for transportation related equipment and ancillary materials. The current concept submittals provide for a window into possible scenarios for several buildings on the site, but flexibility is needed to attract the variety of Tenants required to make this a successful Industrial Park for not only today’s Users, but for future Tenants whose needs keep evolving. LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING: This project proposes a variety of landscaping finishes around each building as well as a landscape buffer along the perimeter of the site. Tree and plant species will be varied to provide adequate diversity across the site. TIMING/PHASING/STAGING The entire site will be mass graded in one phase to allow for the remediation of all contaminants, mass correction of soils for proper compaction prior to placement of footings, and the creation of the storm water basins prior to any off-site discharge. Construction of the Buildings will likely be completed in multiple phases based on market demand. Prior to construction, each building plan will be brought before the Council to review compliance with City standards. Mass grading is anticipated to begin Spring 2024 with the first phase of utilities and streets completed by October 2024. Vertical construction is anticipated to begin late 2024 with a full build out of the community taking place over two to four years.
