<br />City of Arden Hilts - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />This complex of natural areas is unique because of its large size and lack of <br />fragmentation. The majority of these areas were given a "medium" ranking in the <br />natural resource assessment. Marsden Lake does not have sufficient water <br />quality information to determine its potential for water quality impairment due to <br />excess nutrients. <br /> <br />Area 4 - As part of the TCMP redevelopment, a 49 acre wildlife corridor .Will be _ <br />,desiqnated to connect the Rice Creek corridor to the AHA TS 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 and as.a priority area. <br />Ramsey County 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 problem 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 from private land. <br /> <br />10.7 Implementation Strategies <br /> <br />In order to advance the protected resources goal, the below activities are <br />proposed; , <br /> <br />o Adopt tree preservation standards and revised landscaping requirements. <br />o Review existinq and develop new policies or requlations to protect identified <br />natural resource protection areas. <br />o Encouraqe new development to respect the natural features and to minimize <br />damaqe to the natural environment. <br />o Update the shore land 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 ,Work cooperativeiy with private landowners and other governmental agencies <br />to preserve and enhance open spaces. <br />o Explore the inclusion of an environmental library and/or education center on <br />the TCMP property. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />5/15/2008 <br /> <br />r Deleted: would <br />C~~i_~,,~~~."~;~~~~d <br /> <br />.-.-,,","< <br /> <br />t Deleted: that should be included <br /> <br />I Deleted: . <br />l.
