<br />City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />Area 4 - As part of the TCAAP redevelopment, a 49 acre wildlife corridor will be <br />,desiqnated to connect the Rice Creek corridor to the AHATS property. While the <br />RCWD did not include the wildlife corridor in their analysis, the City and Ramsey <br />County have identified it as a significant natural resource that should be included <br />as a priority area. Ramsev Countv will own and maintain the wildlife corridor. <br /> <br />10.6 Invasive Species <br /> <br />While many of the open spaces in Arden Hills are of high quality, invasive <br />species such as buckthorn are a problern in many parks and open spaces <br />throughout Minnesota. Unfortunately, a number of parks and open spaces in <br />Arden Hills contain buckthorn. In cooperation with residents and service groups, <br />the City has instituted a buckthorn removal program. The City plans to continue <br />to control buckthorn on an ongoing basis as needed and as resources are <br />available. The City will also continue to encourage the removal of buckthorn <br />and other invasive species frorn private land. <br /> <br />10.7 Implementation Strategies <br /> <br />In order to advance the protected resources goal, the below activities are <br />proposed. This list is not all-inclusive and additional tools and opportunities <br />should be researched: <br /> <br />o Adopt tree preservation standards and revised landscaping requirements. <br />o Update the shoreland and floodplain development regulations to be in <br />compliance with Minnesota Department of Natural Resources regulations, <br />Rice Creek Watershed District regulations, and to encourage the protection of <br />the City's water resources. <br />o Review existing and develop new standards or regulations to protect <br />identified natural resource protection areas. <br />o Work cooperatively with private landowners and other governmental agencies <br />to preserve and enhance open spaces. <br />o Explore the inclusion of an environmental library andlor education center on <br />the TCMP property. <br />o Support public educational opportunities to foster a better understanding of <br />the natural environment. <br />o Encourage new development to respect the naturalfeatures and to minimize <br />damage to the natural environment. <br />o Utilize best management practices (BMPs) to reduce erosion and protect the <br />environment. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />4/18/2008 <br /> <br />C~~~:,~;~~~~m-""-"=:=-==] <br />C~!I"~j~~~._~~~:~~"~.. .-... -. -- - _m__n__n__ ~=~~' <br /> <br />75 <br />
