<br />I <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />, <br />I <br /> <br />9.7.01 <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The land that became the City of Arden Hills was originally part of Mounds <br />View Township. The area was first settled in the mid-1800s. In 1906, Joseph <br />Hackney, a State senator and millionaire, settled on the land and built Arden <br />Farms. This farm and the terrain would eventually give the City its name. In <br />1951, the City of Arden Hills was created. <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills is located in Ramsey County, approximately eight <br />miles north of the downtown areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is bordered <br />on the north and east ~y Shoreview, the west by Mounds View and New <br />Brighton, and the south by RosevilJe. The City of Arden Hills is bordered by <br />County Road I to the north, Lexington Avenue to the east, Interstate 35W to <br />the west, and partially by County Road D to the south. The City's area covers <br />approximately 9.4 square miles. The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant <br />(TCAAP) occupies approximately 4 square miles of the northern portion of <br />the City, or nearly one-third of the entire land area of Arden Hills. Over the <br />next 20 years, TCAAP land is expected to be released by the federal <br />government to be redeveloped. Site contamination clean up will determine <br />rate of land release. See Figure 1 for location map. <br /> <br />The lakes have always been the focus of the Arden Hills' community. There <br />are seven lakes that lie entirely or partially within the City limits. Lake <br />Johanna is the largest lake in the City, covering approximately 230 acres. <br />There are also public ditches and wetland complexes throughout the City. The <br />City falls entirely under the jurisdiction of Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> <br />The southern portion of Arden Hills is fully developed. The TCAAP land, in <br />the northern portion of the City, will be redeveloped in the future. The <br />redevelopment of TCAAP will have a significant impact on the future nature <br />of the City. The TCAAP Framework Plan includes preserving nearly one-half <br />of the area in its natural state, public parks, mixed residential and mixed <br />business use. A large portion of the City is residential, but Arden Hills also <br />consists of lakes and parks, and serves as home to many businesses of <br />multiple sizes, along with two private colleges. The City of Arden Hills aims <br />to maintain their existing residential neighborhoods, strengthen their <br />commercial and industrial areas, and incorporate the redevelopment of <br />TCAAP into the City's long range planning. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills, Minnesota <br />Local Stormwater Management Plan <br /> <br />A-ARDEN0101.00 <br />Page 4 <br />
