Area # 9: Village Hall <br />1970 Population: 131 <br />Projected Population: 3, 215 <br />Total Required Acreage for Parks: 32 Acres <br />1975 Existing Park Acreage: 20 Acres <br />Additional Park Acreage Needed: 12 Acres <br />Acreage Available Through Dedication: 19 Acres <br />Proposed Purchase Acreage: <br />The Village Hall Neighborhood (Area #9) is located in the north <br />central portion of residential Arden Hills . Although among the <br />least populated areas in 1970 (131 residents according to the <br />1970 Census) , its growth potential is substantial. In fact, <br />this area has been projected to have the largest maximum popula- <br />tion of all Arden Hills neighborhoods (3,215) when growth is <br />complete. <br />The varied topography and the land use designated by the 1974 <br />Comprehensive Plan dictate a mixture of low and moderate density <br />residential development for Area #9 . The Pemtom development in <br />the northeast section of the neighborhood is increasing the <br />populatio - - rapid rate with the current (1976) level esti- <br />mated at 60S <br />Floral Park is the only existing park in the Village Hall <br />Neighborhood. When developed, this 20 acre park will be adequate <br />to serve the residents of the southern portion of the neighbor- <br />hood. However, additional acreage will be required to provide <br />recreational facilities for the anticipated residential develop- <br />ment in the northern portion. To date (1976) , no additional <br />land has been acquired for that purpose although the recommenda- <br />tion of the Parks and Recreation Committee to develop a 10 acre <br />park in the lower half of the triangle bordered by Snelling, <br />Highway 10 and Highway 96 has been approved by City Council.
