with the City, the applicant has applied for and received a number of grants to assist in the cleannp of the site. It is expected that most of the cleanup will take place in September or Octobcr of this year. The rails on the property will also be removed in September or October. . The applicant is continuing to actively market the property. Thc Chesapeake Master Plan PUD provided for a few different plan renditions, one of which included two eight story office buildings. This type of development is prominent at major interstate junctions in the metro area and will likely lead to a higher quality project than the underlying Gateway Business Zoning would otherwise produce. The Gateway Business Zoning District is geared toward modem office/warehousing users and was intended to redevelop the land on the west side of Round Lake. Granting an extension to the Chesapeake Master Plan PUD makes it easier for Chesapeake to plan and market the property and it gives the City of Arden Hills better chance of securing a high caliber development that is built within the parameters established through the 2001 PUD. The letter from Chesapeake Companies indicates that a summary of their marketing activities is attached. The updated summary was not available in time for the rclease of this packet; however, a representative from Chesapeake Companies will be at the meeting to address the ongoing marketing ofthe property.
