Marlow, Mr. B. Edmonds and Mr. K. Simons, Ramsey County Open Space,-presented plans for proposed acquisitIon of arsenal land when It becomes available. Mr. Simons explained that the two parcels (A- 35 acres and C-8 acres) must eventually become part of larger areas, to be usable by Ramsey County Open Space. He explained that parcel A would work with the creek boundary area (Rice Creek being part of a proposed IS-mIle canoe route) and parcel C would be a reasonable ac- quIsition only If It will eventually become part of a larger Marsden Lake open space area. A map was shown on whiCh concept boundaries for these two larger proposed land acquisitIons were Indicated. In discussion, It was noted that the Marsden Lake boundaries, now proposed, delete some of the green area formerly Indicated as land desirable for open space acquisItion. It was explained that this was done because the western portIon of this area Is determined to be buildable and could (accordIng to Planner Otto Schmid) be developed as a PUD, providIng park area which could be coordinated with the Ramsey County Open Space area. . Mr. Edmonds said that, It approval of these boundaries Is obtained. this would be the established Ramsey County Open Space Plan; but he said he would not want to say the plan would not change. Councilman Crichton pointed out that the approved Village Park Plan Is to provide 6 acres of public recreational open space for every 100 residents In the VIllage as a whole and questioned whether the County plan for the arsenal area would exceed this required proportion. Mr. Buckley said that (within the 6 acres standard) I acre of active recreational area must be located with- in t mile of every 100 residents and that this would apply to the arsenal area If portlDns ere residentially zoned. Concern was expressed for the portion of the Village that Is going Into parks. Nr. SIDons e.pleln.d that approval of the conc.pt boundary".... .. indicated on the map. was obtained from the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, and asked Councl I approval as well, prior to making application for acquisition of parcels A and C on Thursday, March 28th. -3-
