Describe the role of the applicant city officials and staff and the nature <br />of community involvement in the project. <br /> <br />. Community officials and staff: <br /> <br />While the particular planning approach has not been identified at this point, it is anticipated <br />that community officials will be central to the process. Preliminarily, it is anticipated that a <br />task force will be convened to act as a master planning working group. This group would <br />consist of members ofthe Planning Commission; Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee <br />representatives; and other interested community members. As outlined in the Project Team <br />element below, staff will serve to facilitate the process. <br /> <br />. Public Involvement. <br /> <br />Given the size, scope, and potential implications of such a large project, a comprehensive <br />public involvement strategy is paramount to the development of a plan that is accepted by <br />members of the community. Presently, the City of Arden Hills is working with the University <br />of Minnesota's Design Center for the American Urban Landscape to facilitate a "civic <br />engagement" process. This will allow interested community members the opportunity to <br />refine a collective vision and provide the foundation for planning outcomes in conjunction <br />with the selected master planner. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />b.
