<br />Round Lake Prehistoric Site <br /> <br /> <br />City of Arden Hltts - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />The Round Lake prehistoric site is located on a small knoll on a peninsula on <br />the southwestern shore of Round Lake. Archaeological exploration has <br />determined that the knoll on the peninsula is most likely of natural origin. <br />Artifacts relating to the manufacture or maintenance of stone tools were <br />observed on the site, and it appears that it may be eligible for the National <br />Register of Historic Places. This site was threatened by development in 1997; <br />however, the City was able to obtain a conservation easement over the <br />peninsuia to preserve it in its current condition. Further research, as weil as <br />community interest, is required before actual placement on the National Register <br />of Historic Places. <br /> <br />10.5 Natural Resource Inventory Map <br /> <br />Although the portion of Arden Hills south of Highways 96 and 10 is considered <br />fully developed, there is an abundance of mature trees, lakes, wetlands, open <br />spaces, parks, and other natural amenities that give the City its highly valued <br />natural and well-landscaped character. The southern two thirds of Arden Hills <br />contain more than 363 acres of public parks and undevelopable open spaces. <br />Northwestern Coilege, Bethel University, and Mounds View High School also <br />contain highly valued natural areas of varying character and quality. <br /> <br />The AHATS side of the TCAAP property is also home to some of the most <br />significant natural resources, including lakes, wetlands, woodlands, meadows, <br />rolling terrain, and vistas. The kame, which is a geological formation made by <br />retreating glaciers, is located in the central part of the property and is the highest <br />point in Ramsey County. Of the 585 acres that are anticipated to be turned over <br />to the City for development, preliminary plans include approximately168 acres <br />for use as open space in the form of parks, wetlands, stormwater areas, <br />recreational areas, and a wildlife corridor. While some institutional development <br />from the Minnesota National Guard may occur on the southern part of the <br />AHA TS property, much of that area is anticipated to remain as open space, <br />though it is generaily not open to the public. <br /> <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District has compiled data and generated a resource <br />protection map to show areas of significant natural resources. The map is only <br />intended to be a guide and is not detailed enough for site specific planning as <br />there may be inaccuracies due to the scale of the assessment. Additional <br />information regarding feasibility and site condition should be collected before <br />utilizing this information at a smaller scale. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />4/18/2008 <br /> <br />71 <br /> <br />
