The lakes and wetlands <br />provide an environmental habitat for fish and wildlife within- the City. These <br />water bodies should be protected from degradation by pollution or <br />eontarnination from surface water or groundwater sources. <br /> <br />Stonn Drain System <br />The existing drainage system for Arden Hills is shown in Figure 7. A further <br />investigation of the thirteen proposed regional ponds that were determined in <br />the "Comprehensive Drainage Survey Maintenance Plan and Ponding <br />Recommendations" that was completed by BRW, Ine, in May, 1999, has been <br />completed. <br /> <br />Water Quality <br /> <br />Land Use <br />The area south of Highway 96 is developed for the most part, TCAAP, in the <br />northern portion of the City, is the only large area that will be redeveloped <br />within the City. Arden Hills is a fairly stable community, and foresees <br />minimal amount of development and population growth in the next 5 to 10 <br />years. It is difficult to predict the redevelopment that will occur in the City <br />until the land release of TCAAP. Disregarding the TCAAP area, the majority <br />of the City of Arden Hills is residential. There are also many large <br />corporations, various sized businesses, two private colleges, and parks and <br />open areas in the City. Figure 8 shows existing land use, while the potential <br />future land use is shown in Figure 9. <br /> <br />A-ARDENOt 01.00 <br />Page 14 <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills, Minnesota <br />Local Stormwater Management Plan <br />
