Future population and other circumstances may dictate a need for more educational space. If the need develops for greater educational space, school development should be designed in such a manner as to minimize the amount for land needed, to use the features of the land in such a way as to encourage that it does not infringe upon nor use open space. 4. Economic Development Commercial, office and industrial development opportunities exist on the property which will benefit the sUITounding communities and the larger metropolitan area. It is important to create an envirolID1ent which encourages a broad range of development opportunities and jobs. Create a development climate which encourages the formation of a wide range of development opportunities and job types. To that end, provide at least 200 acres for the redevelopment of Office, Commercial, and/or Industrial uses adjacent to Interstate 35W, US Highway 10 and State Highway 96. 5. Intewation Encourage the integration of the transportation, governmental, educational, . and recreational services with the adjacent communities where possible. Encourage multiple and shared uses, buildings, and facilities to minimize the infrastrUcture costs and impervious areas on the site. Encourage the constrUction of a joint public works facility along the Highway 10 or 96 conidor. Allow the City of Arden Hills to obtain and use the land south of the service road on the south side of Sunfish Lake to constrUct a City Hall/Government Center. . Development in the area should be done in a manner which ensures protection of Desmodium illionense. 6. Infrastructure Design and construct an infrastructure system that minimizes the negative effects on the environment and that protects the East-West Conidor and the migration of animals between Rice Creek and the park reserve, yet provides for the development requirements of the site. Stormwater retention ponds which may be needed should be kept within the developed areas of the site, outside of designated open space. Developers should retain responsibility for locating these ponds within their own development areas. Reuse existing on-site infrastructure to the extent that is practical and cost-effective. Transportation for the site should be designed and built in a manner that is sensitive to the environment. It should include an internal system of roads that is transit friendly. The transportation plan should link TCAAP to the rest of Arden Hills and adjacent communities as well as to the regional transportation system; encourage alternate travel modes such as biking and walking by creating pedestrian-friendly environments and link activity centers with trails and other non-vehicular routes; include public transit; and promote desirable development patterns. .
