• The residential and commercial areas must be connected by sidewalks and trails to each other and other parks and open spaces. Residential sidewalks and commercial sidewalks/trails will be privately maintained. • The reuse must consider opportunities for transit connections. • The design and construction of any bridge over Rice Creek must be coordinated with Ramsey County and respectful to the adjacent open space. • The Wildlife Corridor, the Primer/Tracer area, and a north -south trail corridor will be dedicated for park and open space related uses separate from any park dedication requirements. • All costs related to consultants to facilitate the redevelopment will be the responsibility of the developer. Additional Considerations • The City will seek to diversify its commercial tax base and generate high quality jobs (i.e. high technology, medical). The City is interested in a corporate campus to help diversify the City's existing commercial tax base. • The City will seek to establish viable retail groupings to enhance long-term sustainability. • The City will seek to provide a variety of housing options on the site to accommodate the current and future needs of Arden Hills. This may include affordable housing and market rate housing with a focus on owner occupied housing. • The City will seek to have uses that generate property taxes. • The City has not guaranteed the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) or any other type of financial incentive for the redevelopment of the property. • The only access points to the property are at County Road 96 just west of Snelling Avenue and at the intersection of Interstate 35W and County Road H. The development capacity of the TCAAP property is limited by the capacity of these two access points. The City does not have funds to upgrade these intersections. • All development and permitting fees in the City's fee schedule apply. • In addition to the Metropolitan Council sewer and water access charges, the City charges a sewer and water access charge. • The United States Army operates a network of wells, underground pipes, and a treatment plant to remediate the groundwater contamination. This groundwater treatment must be able to continue along side any redevelopment. • Additional information, such as environmental data, is an asset of, and available from, RRLD, LLC.
