Reuse Expectations and Considerations With any reuse scenario, the City has expectations that must be met. Additionally, it must be understood that there are other limitations that need to be considered when preparing a reuse concept. Expectations • A property cleanup plan that cleans all of the land up to the required levels to accommodate the land uses outlined by the City. The cleanup plan will meet all Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Environmental Protection Agency requirements, including financial assurances to ensure that that all cleanup requirements are met. • Cleanup of the land in a timely matter is a top priority to the City. A reuse plan will need to include timeline information related to the cleanup and redevelopment. A reuse plan that selectively uses or "cherry picks" parcels while ignoring other parcels will not be considered. • A bike and pedestrian trail connection from Highway 96 Regional Trail to the Rice Creek North Regional Trail to ensure a connection from the southern portion of Arden Hills. The City may require this pathway as part of a trail corridor along the eastern border of the property. • Substantial park and open space requirements will apply to provide parks and open space areas and amenities to serve the community and the development. The City reserves the right to require park land dedication and/or park dedication fees. • The City will expect substantial landscaping and trees. 0
