of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br />In the northeastern corner of the property, 76.5 acres is proposed to be <br />dedicated for public use (map). While the exact public use of this area has not <br />been determined, it is known that this area will not be developed. This area is <br />likely to include some type of regional athletic use, such as ball fields or soccer <br />fields. <br />The remaining 42.4 acres are anticipated to be used for community parks, <br />gathering spaces, and open spaces. The preliminary land use design for the <br />TCAAP property includes a large park in the central part of the property and a <br />number of small neighborhood parks along the eastern boundary (map). The <br />exact layout and use of these parks has not been determined; however, they are <br />likely to be focused on local park and recreation needs. <br />As part of the TCAAP redevelopment planning process, a detailed park, open <br />space, and pathway plan is being prepared, which will likely be incorporated into <br />this Comprehensive Plan upon completion. <br />9.6 Implementation <br />9.6.1 Priority Setting <br />To help ensure continued progress on implementing this Plan, a long-term <br />priority list must be set by the City. With the priorities laid out, the City will be <br />able to make spending determinations on an annual basis and coordinate <br />improvements with other projects such as road improvements. The priority list <br />will need to be evaluated on a yearly basis to measure progress and to adjust <br />the list with changing circumstances and priorities. A fully functioning and <br />complete park and pathway system adds to the attractiveness of the City and to <br />the values of all property owners. Creating a project list for each year will help <br />the City and the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee focus on implementing <br />high priority projects. <br />The priority list for moving forward is established as follows: <br />TO BE DETERMINED <br />As noted above, this list must be flexible in order to respond to changing <br />conditions and opportunities. <br />9.6.2 Partnerships <br />DRAFT 46 <br />2/22/2008 <br />
