corridor would allow for a more natural looking trail corridor. For reference, each 100 feet of <br /> trail corridor along the eastern edge of TCAAP from Highway 96 to the Wildlife Corridor <br /> includes approximately 16 acres of land. <br /> A benefit to receiving a dedicated trail corridor through special legislation is that it would not <br /> p <br /> impact the City's park dedication requirement. Additionally, a wider, dedicated corridor <br /> provides an opportunity for a natural trail corridor that would be an amenity to the <br /> redevelopment and the community. <br /> Special Legislation for a Land Transfer <br /> As noted, the City and County would explore options for a special legislation land transfer to <br /> p <br /> separate the designated trail corridor from the rest of the TCAAP may It be easier to <br /> property. Y <br /> receive a special land transfer if the corridor is defined because there would be a specific request. <br /> p q <br /> However, even with a dedicated trail corridor, the City would still expect any redevelopment to <br /> include sidewalk connections, which can be required separate from the park dedication <br /> requirement. <br /> Depending on the location of the trail corridor, there may be contaminated land within the <br /> corridor that would require remediation. If the trail has a regional designation, it would become <br /> g <br /> eligible for funds from the Metropolitan Council. The County Y and City could also seek an <br /> appropriation to complete the remediation with the transfer. Before the County or possibly the <br /> p Y <br /> City takes ownership, the remediation issues would need to be addressed. <br /> A dedicated trail corridor would help ensure that the City receives the north-south trail <br /> connection without impacting the park dedication requirement. If a defined trail corridor is <br /> selected, the City may still want some flexibility to be able to modify or move the corridor in the T <br /> future if a better corridor is identified as part of a future redevelopment. <br /> Council Direction Requested <br /> Regarding the regional trailhead concept on AHATS and the Primer Tracer area is the Council - <br /> prepared to discuss a letter of support for the County to pursue this project? What additional <br /> . P J <br /> information is needed? <br /> Discussing trail concepts within a future redevelopment on TCAAP is part of the overall land use <br /> discussion. It is likely that the City would require some type of a sidewalk or trail connections <br /> within any redevelopment. However, the dedicated north-south trail corridor concept could be <br /> an opportunity to obtain a special land transfer for an uninterrupted trail corridor from County <br /> Road 96 to the Wildlife Corridor and Rice Creek North Regional Trail. If the City Council is <br /> interested In pursuing a special land transfer for a dedicated corridor, a letter of support for the <br /> concept could be preparedfor Council approval.
