<br />. <br /> <br />~ <br />/]'\~ILLS <br /> <br />January 27,2003 <br /> <br />Ralph Conner <br />Senior Advisor <br />Government Services Administration <br />Redeployment Services Division (PRD) <br />10 Causeway Street <br />Boston, MA 02222 <br />Room #: 925 <br /> <br />RE: The United States Postal Service's Consideration ofthe TCAAP Property for a <br />Potential 82-Acre Distribution Facility <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Conner; <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Thank you for sending the City of Arden Hills a copy of the letter that the D.S. Postal Service <br />sent to the GSA, indicating their potential interest in acquiring an 82-acre site within the TCAAP <br />property. The intended use for this site has been described as a consolidated distribution facility. <br />Thank you also for the copy of your response letter to the U.S. Postal Service, notifying them of <br />our re-use planning process and directing them to participate in that process. <br /> <br />As you know, we are in the beginning stages of a major process to plan and design the ultimate <br />re-use of the TCAAP property. We have committed to following the Vento Re-Use Plan as the <br />guiding framework for this project In addition to its major commitment to permanently protect <br />open space, the Vento Re-Use Plan calls for a mixture of residential and commercial and <br />industrial land uses. <br /> <br />The process that we have commissioned involves and encourages the active participation of a <br />broad cross-section of stakeholders. It is designed to support the free and open consideration of <br />several alternative ways in which the various land uses and ownership patterns might be arranged <br />on the land. We are committed to working with the National Guard and Ramsey County to fully <br />understand their needs. We intend to work closely with them and others, as we proceed, until we <br />are successful in realizing the vision of the Vento Re-Use Plan. <br /> <br />Last Friday, January 17, our City Council met with the project developer, CRR, Inc., our <br />planning consultant and staff and reviewed the impact that a Post Office Distribution facility <br />would have on the TCAAP project Please remember that we have already agreed that the site <br />should become the home for an 80-acre combined maintenance facility for Ramsey County and <br />the National Guard. We reviewed photographs of other Post Office Distribution facilities around <br />the Twin Cities area. They are, without exception, large utilitarian warehouses, surrounded by <br />. hundreds of semi trailers. This use would be, for all intents and purposes a huge truck terminal. <br /> <br />City of Anlen lIills . 1245 West Highway 96 . Arden Mms,!\IN . 55112.5794 <br />Phone 651.634.5120 .
