Extent to which trails lead to significant destinations and activity centers, such as shopping, employment and recreation areas, both on and off the site. . Extent to which on-site trails may be connected to off-site and regional trail networks. All Plans: The four scenarios were all developed with imposition of a trail network in mind. Although no network is actually shown, all areas of the site can be connected using off-street trails that rely on the open-space framework, retention areas, the Rice Creek corridor and easements beyond the open-space network to link different uses. These trails can and would be connected to other trail systems, such as other trails in Arden Hills and trails leading to Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton. OveraU rating, aU scenarios: ExceUent Economic Development ECl How much land does the plan set aside for joh-producing activities? lndicators . Extent to which the plan allows Arden Hills to provide at least one job for each resident of working age. According to the 1990 US Census, the potential labor force in Arden Hills consisted of7,1 36 persons over the age of 15. Of those, 5,155 persons were actuaUy in the labor force. . Extent to which the plan allocates land for uses capable of generating jobs that pay wages and salaries at or above the median regional household income. In 1990, the median regionai household income was $36,600. Median household income in Arden Hills was $51,000. Office/Industrial: This scenario might generate 20,000 or more jobs, depending on the nature and intensity of the businesses that locate on TCAAP. In other words, this plan could provide jobs for all of Arden Hills's current workers, plus all new workers moving onto TCAAP, plus upwards of 10,000 additional workers. Of those jobs, about 20% would be retail and service jobs, which tend to pay relatively low wages. Perhaps another 20% would be low-wage office jobs. The remainder would be high-wage professional, technical, research and manufacturing jobs. OveraU rating' ExceUent Town Center: This scenario too would generate a significant number of jobs, probably between 15,000 and 20,000. This would still provide more than enough j obs for new TGAAP residents, as well as others. Again, about 40% of the jobs would be lower-wage retail, service and office jobs, and the remainder would be higher-wage jobs. OveraU rating' ExceUent Open Space: This scenario would employ significantly smaller numbers of people -- between 8,000 and 10,000. The number of new workers living on the site would be quite small -- less than 900 persons -- so this plan too provides for an adequate number of jobs. The job figure includes about 900 jobs that would be created by the recreational components of the site. The income profile of these jobs would be tilt downward slightly, but about half of the jobs would still be higher-paying jobs. Overall rating: Good Residential: This scenario would also gcnerate about 8,000 to 9,000 jobs on-site. However, because anothcr potential 5,300 workers would also be added to the labor force, this plan does not exhibit ajob excess as large as the others. Also, like the Open Space plan, the wage profile would be somewhat lower than that in the fIrst two scenarios. Overall rating: Good Camiros, Ltd./SEH, Inc'!LHDL, Ltd.
