I I U3 Encourage mixed, multiple and shared uses and buildings (e.g., of parking facilities) when possible and when this will reduce public costs and ground coverage by impervious surfaces. U4 Create retail, residential and mixed-use areas that are pedestrian- and bicycle-oriented and minimize vehicular traffic. U5 Create an identifiable community core consisting of public uses, which may include a new city hall, public works garage, community center and such cultural facilities as a nature center, library or historical museum, as well as appropriate private uses. If a school will be needed on the TCAAP property, site it within or adjacent to this core. U6 Establish a development pattern that can be readily served by public transportation. U7 When reviewing development proposals, consider them as part of Arden Hills as a whole rather than as stand-alone schemes. Make sure that new developments integrate with and complement existing development, particularly adjacent uses. Balance existing land-use deficiencies by setting aside space for needed facilities. US Accommodate qualified Federal uses in a manner that maximizes the long-term value of the site. Transportation and Infrastructure Tl Design and build an internal system of roads that promotes desirable development patterns, is transit-friendly, and links TCAAP to the rest of Arden Hills and adjacent communities as well as to the regional transportation system. T2 Encourage use of alternate travel modes, such as biking and walking, by creating pedestrian-friendly environments and linking activity centers with trails and other non-vehicular routes. T3 Reserve sufficient areas and corridors for community infrastructure, including water and sewer service, roads and streets, parks and (if needed) schools. T4 Reuse existing on-site infrastructure to the extent that this is practical and cost-effective. T5 Develop a stormwater management master plan for the site that takes advantage of and enhances such natural and man-made assets as existing wetlands and the gravel pit. Open Space and Recreation As used in these goals, "open space" means any undeveloped area characterized by vegetative cover or open water, or a developed area set aside exclusively for pedestrian use. Open space may include meadows, prairies, forested areas, marshes and other wetlands, lakes and ponds, creeks and river corridors, lands needing special protection (e.g., steep slopes and wildlife habitat), sports playing fields (e.g., golf courses, soccer fields, etc.), trails and trail corridors, cemeteries, plazas, public gardens, amphitheaters, and other large, unobstructed areas. Rl Provide a balance of active and passive public open spaces that respect and take advantage of natural site topography and features. R2 Develop pedestrian and bike trails throughout the site and link them to other trail systems, both within and beyond Arden Hills. Connect the Rice Creek corridor through the site. R3 Provide for a mix of public recreation types, including adequate neighborhood parks. R4 Seek out and consider for development recreational spaces and facilities that are unique to the community, Camiros. Ltd.lSEH, Inc./LHDL, Ltd. TCAAP Framework Plan Page 2 Chapter III
