<br />Restoration of the natural drainage corridor and vegetation will be accomplished by <br />Ramsey County. All restoration activities will utilize native plant material and be . <br />coordinated with the Minnesota National Guard to assure consistency throughout the <br />corridor and the nature preserve. <br /> <br />The only recreational development anticipated will be a future trail connection <br />between the Rice Creek corridor and the property licensed to the Minnesota National <br />Guard. This trail connection will be subject to agreements for use of the National <br />Guard property for trail uses such as Nordic skiing. The property will be available for <br />informal, non- consumptive outdoor recreation activities such as nature study and <br />birding. <br /> <br />In order to accommodate future development north of the wildiife corridor, Ramsey <br />Countywill grant easements across the wildlife corridor to the city of Arden Hills for <br />underground public utilities. <br /> <br />B. Future Transportation Needs <br /> <br />Preliminary transportation plans for TCAAP call for a north/south road extending from Highway <br />96 to County Road L The county anticipates providing to the city road and utility easements <br />across Rice Creek near 1-35 (in the approximate location of the existing County Road H bridge) <br />in dimensions that will allow for construction of this arterial street. The road and bridge design <br />will be subject to review and approval by the county and are expected to accommodate <br />unrestricted wildlife movement, drainage functions, and human recreational travel under the <br />bridge. The Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department will not be responsible for the <br />cost of design and construction of the road and bridge. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In addition, a north/south road across the wildlife corridor may be necessary to accommodate <br />Use of the property lying immediately north of the wildlife corridor (a.k.a. the Primer-Tracer Area) <br />or as the alternative connection between Highway 96 and County Road L The county prefers <br />not to have a road across the wildlife corridor and will join with the city to request that the <br />Minnesota Army National Guard provide the city with a road easement from County Road I to <br />the Primer-Tracer Area. However, if transportation plans, prepared jointly by the city and county, <br />identify a road across the wildlife corridor as a necessary transportation element, the county will <br />provide a road easement to the city in the general alignment of the existing north/south road. <br />The road design will be subject to review and approval by the county and are expected to <br />incorporate an elevated section (bridge) of sufficient height and width to accommodate <br />unrestricted wildlife movement, drainage function, and human recreational travel under the road. <br />The Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department will not be responsible for the cost of <br />design and construction of the road and bridge. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />Attachment A - Boundary Map Illustrating Approved Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor <br />Attachment B - 2000 Aerial Photo of Wildlife Corridor <br />Attachment C - Wildlife Corridor, Vegetation <br />Attachment D - Wildlife Corridor, Existing Man-Made Features <br />Attachment E - Wildlife Corridor, Proposed Development <br />Attachment F - Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor Development <br /> <br />/jh <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br />
