I I. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I. B. Concept Plans #1 - #4 Each of the four initial concept plans was developed based on the following criteria: . The primary transportation network for each scenario was based on three factors: the need to connect TCAAP to the regional transportation network; the need to provide access to developable areas; and adequate and efficient property access. These criteria created four different roadway networks with certain similarities. . The open-space framework was absolute -- that is, no less than that amount of land would be set aside as open space, . The Army Reserve Center and National Guard facility would remain where they are today. Concept Plan #1: OfJice/Industrial This scenario emphasizes economic development and business and job formation, 30% of the land, or 634 acres, is set aside for retail (including general and highway business), office, office/ showroom, warehouse/distribution and industrial development. This scenario asswnes that the demand for non-residential development in the northern suburbs will increase in 10-15 years, and that I-35W serves as a potent draw for this type of development. Sites included in this non-residential area line the east side of 35W and US 10 and extend to the east along CSAH 96, to a depth of 2800-3000 feet (about one-half mile). . The remainder of the site would be primarily residential (473 acres, or 22%), with a few exceptions: . The site immediately east of the MnDOT maintenance facility would be set aside for a school and park; and . The area surrounding the Army Reserve Center at the southeast comer of the site would be used for governmental purposes, perhaps including a new city hall and public works garage. Concept Plan #2: Town Center In this scenario, office/industrial uses have been scaled back to accommodate a town center comprising III acres (about 5% of the site). This town center would takc advantage of the access provided by 35W and US 10 from west of the site to develop a community retail center supported by multi-family residences, small-scale offices (e.g., for real estate and health-care professionals) and public uses (e.g., a new school). The internal transportation network would focus on the town center as its hub. The town center itself will need to be given a special focus -- specialty retail, a group of public uses, entertainment, etc. Office/industrial uses would again line US 10 and CSAH 96, while the site immediately south of the 1-35W/County H interchange would be placed in retail or other commercial uses. Uses would extend to a depth of about 2,000 feet. Total land in these uses: 445 acres, or 22% of the site. As before, the remainder of the site would be used for residential (469 acres, 23%), local government (78 acres, or 3.8%) and federal government (43 acres, or 2.1 %) purposes. Camiros.
