Page 1 of 1 AGENDA ITEM – 1A MEMORANDUM DATE:June 15, 2015 TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM:Patrick Klaers, City Administrator SUBJECT:TCAAP Infrastructure Funding Background/Discussion In May 2014, Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers, presented some preliminary information on the TCCAP financial issues that the City had to address. On April 13, 2015 Stacie was scheduled to update the Council on these issues and was planning to present the City TCAAP financial model based on current cost estimates for pre-development work, trunk utilities and storm water, and parks. However, the April 13 th meeting ran long and we did not get to Stacie for her presentation and Council discussion. Stacie is now s cheduled for the upcoming June 15 th work session to present and discuss TCAAP financial issues. Attached for your information is her April 13th memo and attachments. Attachments Attachment A: Stacie Kvilvang Memo Dated April 13, 2015 Attachment B: City Costs and Financing Spreadsheet Memo To: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator From: Stacie Kvilvang Date: April 13, 2015 Subject: City Financing and Fee Structure – TCAAP Public Improvements Attached please find updated charts that include potential fee structure, funding sour ce and risk to the City for various public improvement costs related to the redevelopment of TCAAP. Please note the following: 1. City Interfund Loans/Interim Financing of Predevelopment Costs (page 1 of attachment) a. Total predevelopment costs are estimated to be approximately $815,000 b. The City has approximately $500,000 in predevelopment costs that will be repaid by a development fee paid on a per acre basis as land is sold (approximately $1,440/acre). This does not include interest associated with that cost so the fee will be increased to the appropriate level once we know more about timing of future development. c. The costs for preliminary and final design for the road and trunk utilities is approximately $369,000 and will be assessed to the property as part of the 429 special assessment process. The City will be repaid as land is sold. d. Cost to complete a utility rate study is approximately $20,000. This will be completed to determine appropriate level of sewer, water and storm fees to be charged to pay for the improvements will be paid from the utility fund. 2. Public Improvement costs (page 2 of attachment) a. Total public improvement costs that the City would likely issue debt for is approximately $15.313 million (principal amount) b. Total development cost of the four (4) parks is approximately $7 million. It is anticipated that the City would issue bonds to pay for the improvements and for modeling purposes we have assumed a 10-year debt issue to reduce interest borrowing costs and to closely mirror the timing of land sales and development of housing units. The bonds would be repaid through park City of Arden Hills City Financing and Fee Structure – TCAAP Public Improvements April 13, 2015 Page 2 dedication fees paid by the future property owners/developers (policy yet to be established). c. The trunk utilities associated with the Spine Road will cost approximately $2.4 million. Per the JDA, the City will issue bonds for the project and the bonds will be repaid by special assessments levied against the property. We have assumed a 10-year debt issue to closely mirror the timing of the majority of land sales. However, the term and structure will be revised to accommodate the County’s needs for the financing since they will be required to pay the assessments until land is sold. d. The new water tower and booster station will cost approximately $5.9 millio n. It is anticipated that the City would issue bonds to pay for the improvements and for modeling purposes we have assumed a 15-year debt issue to closely mirror a longer time frame for land sales and development of the commercial property. The bonds will be repaid from increased WAC charges that will be paid as development commences (these will be determined through a utility rate study). e. The County is paying 100% of the costs associated with the storm water ponding. They will be reimbursed for these costs through land sale proceeds, assessments or a fee they impose on the property. If the City desires to have a fountain or other similar amenities, they will be the responsibility of the City to pay for (would be paid through utility fees). 3. Summary of Fees (Page 3 of attachment) a. Park Dedication Fees - For purposes of illustration, we have provided a fee breakdown based upon the number of units in the land use plan, the “fit test” and the original minimum number that was discussed a year ago. As noted, the likely fee structure would have to be option #3 or #4 because the per unit rate charged to a housing unit in options #1 and #2 are not competitive within the market place and place an undue burden on the housing developers (this is why those options have an X through them). b. SAC Fees – The City will collect the SAC Connection Credit (typically paid to the Met Council) and retain it for use as appropriate within its utility fund and/or can utilize it to assist with paying for park improvement costs or other improvements the City deems appropriate. Estimates for these fees from the development range from $4.3 million to $4.8 million (difference is in the range of housing units constructed). In addition, it will also need to update the fee structure for the City SAC fee (TBD through the utility rate study). City of Arden Hills City Financing and Fee Structure – TCAAP Public Improvements April 13, 2015 Page 3 c. WAC Fees – The City will update its existing fee structure to size the Availability Fee to pay for the new water tower and booster station. It is estimated that the fee would range from $3,100 to $3,400/unit (difference is in the range of housing units constructed). The City will also need to update the fee structure for the Connection Fee to pay for “upsizing” of the water lines (TBD through the utility rate study). Overall it should be noted that these are just estimates at this time and will change as the amount of land attributable to each use is determined, the allowable sq/ft of commercial/flex/office and housing units is established, project costs are refined and timing of land sales and development is better known/estimated.

The report below outlines the specific chapters of the Comprehensive Plan requiring amendments in order to reflect the changes suggested by the TCAAP Master Plan, provides a timeline for City review and approval of the CPA and TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), and discusses the Metropolitan Council review process. Discussion The Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that reflects the City’s value system and creates a framework for the future by providing an overall vision for the City. As a guiding tool, the Plan provides a system for measuring progress and direction for setting priorities in key areas critical to the efficient functioning of a community, such as land use, housing, transportation, and public facilities. The Comprehensive Plan is implemented through land use and development regulations, the budgeting process, and community and economic development programs. The Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan was officially approved in September 2009. While the Plan was being prepared, the City was also engaged in a community planning process to better define how excess land on the TCAAP property should be redeveloped. Since a final plan was not approved at the time the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, the Plan only included an overall vision for the redevelopment and preliminary elements of the potential reuse plan. The intent was for the City to amend the Comprehensive Plan once a final TCAAP redevelopment plan was approved so that any required data, such as future land use designations, housing AGENDA ITEM – 1A City of Arden Hills City Council Work Session Meeting for June 8, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-015 - TCAAP CPA & TRC\Memos_Reports Page 2 of 4 densities, transportation infrastructure, and parks and open space resources, could be included in the relevant chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. Since April 2013, the City has been working on a Master Plan for the 427-acre TCAAP parcel purchased by Ramsey County. This Master Plan is comprised of three components: the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) and Mitigation Plan, the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), and the Regulating Plan. The AUAR was approved by the City Council in the summer of 2014, and preliminary approval was given to the TRC and Regulating Plan on May 26, 2015. Together, these documents represent the community’s long-term vision for the TCAAP redevelopment site. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment will reflect the policies, goals, and data included in the separate components of the Master Plan as well as document the community planning process the City has undertaken over the past two years. TCAAP Comprehensive Plan Amendment On July 8th the Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled to hold the official public hearings for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) and approval of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). During the amendment process, the sections of the Comprehensive Plan listed below will require updates to ensure compatibility with the TCAAP Master Plan. Staff has begun work on making the necessary revisions to the Comprehensive Plan and a redlined version of the draft updates are included in Attachment B-F. During the City Council Work Session on June 8th, Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9 and Appendix H will be discussed. The focus of the Work Session on June 15th will be on the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan related to infrastructure (Chapters 11 and 13). Chapter 5 – TCAAP Chapter 5 describes the past development and future redevelopment of the TCAAP property. The sections that pertain to the current TCAAP redevelopment proposal will be revised to reflect the Master Plan. These sections include TCAAP Land Ownership, Environmental Cleanup, and the Redevelopment Timeline. Chapter 6 – Land Use The Land Use Chapter explains each land use category of the Comprehensive Plan and discusses the importance of having a sustainable land use pattern that provides strength to the character of all of the City’s Zoning Districts. The Future Land Use Classifications require amendments to reflect the land uses identified in the TRC for the TCAAP site. Chapter 7 – Housing The Housing Chapter outlines the City’s housing stock, household composition, household type, age of housing stock, household forecasts, and other similar housing data. The housing forecasts and future opportunities sections of this chapter will be updated to reflect the TRC. AGENDA ITEM – 1A City of Arden Hills City Council Work Session Meeting for June 8, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-015 - TCAAP CPA & TRC\Memos_Reports Page 3 of 4 Chapter 9 – Parks and Recreation The Parks and Recreation Chapter summarizes the City’s existing and future park, trail, and open space systems. This particular chapter requires updates to include the new/expanded park and trail systems as part of the TCAAP development. Chapter 11 – Transportation Chapter 11 provides an overview of the City’s transportation system and the importance of expanding a system that offers convenience and effective multi-modal connections. Updates to this chapter include relevant transportation studies, multi-modal opportunities, the future transportation system, and forecasts related to the development of the TCAAP property. Chapter 13 – Public Facilities, Services, and Infrastructure The Public Facilities, Services, and Infrastructure Chapter explains the services provided by the City and outlines the goals in order to provide efficient and high-quality infrastructure to the community into the future. The amendment will update the sections that cover water resource management, water supply, sanitary/storm sewer, and inflow & infiltration. Appendix H – Zoning District Regulations Appendix H outlines all zoning districts within the City. In order to update the Comprehensive Plan the new zoning districts proposed in the TRC must be included in Appendix H. Timeline • May 26th – City Council preliminarily approved the TRC and authorized staff to proceed with the CPA and associated public hearings • June 3rd – Planning Commission discussion on CPA • June 8th & 15th – City Council discussion on CPA • July 8, 2015 – Planning Commission to hold Public Hearing on the CPA & TRC • July 13, 2015 – City Council consideration of CPA & TRC contingent on Metropolitan Council approval Metropolitan Council Review The Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) will be contingent on final approval from the Metropolitan Council. A request to amend the Future Land Use Map or text within the Comprehensive Plan is required to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council by the City. The Metropolitan Council then has 60 days to review the application. Once the Metropolitan Council completes their review, they will notify the City of their decision. AGENDA ITEM – 1A City of Arden Hills City Council Work Session Meeting for June 8, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-015 - TCAAP CPA & TRC\Memos_Reports Page 4 of 4 The City must also allow adjacent governments, affected special districts, and affected school districts up to 60 days to review the CPA. This waiting period allows interested parties to review and comment on the amendment before Metropolitan Council review. Given these requirements, the City expects to receive final approval from the Metropolitan Council in November of 2015. Attachments A. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Submittal Form B.

Will these changes require improvements to the existing local and regional road network or to interchanges beyond what is in the community’s current transportation plan? No, existing local and regional road networks can accommodate increase. Yes, improvements are needed. Describe improvements and who will pay for them below: According to the AUAR, the following improvements are necessary to accommodate the development: TH 96 westbound auxiliary lane from east of the project boundary to TH 10. Re-introduction of CR H southbound loop access to I-35W (removed as part of the baseline scenarios), which remains barrier separated from I-35W southbound exit ramp to TH 10 southbound, and enters I- 35W after joining the TH 10 southbound access ramp to I-35W southbound. The County is in the process of redesigning the I-35W/CR 96 interchange. The new interchange will be designed to accommodate anticipated future traffic, including the TCAAP development. At the intersection of Round Lake Road W at CR 96, the lane use of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Submittal Form May 2011 5 northbound center lane is recommended to be re-striped from an existing shared left/through lane to a shared left/through/right lane. At the intersection of CR H at TH 10, an additional eastbound left turn lane is recommended. The addition of a new northbound I-35W exit to CR H, with a single lane approach to the roundabout on CR H. An additional southbound left turn lane at the southbound exit from I-35W to CR H. The City of Arden Hills will continue to work with Ramsey County and all transportation partners in the provision of an efficient transportation system. Access 15. If this site has direct access to a Principal or “A” Minor Arterial, is the location and spacing consistent with applicable County guidelines or MnDOT’s Access Management Guidelines? (http://www.oim.dot/state.mn.us/access/index.html) Not applicable. No direct access to a Principal or “A” Minor Arterial. No. Explain: According to the IRC memo submitted to the Met Council, the proposed development will have direct access to T.H. 35W at County Road H. The spacing between County Road H and adjacent interchanges on T.H. 35W is about 4,600 feet to the north and 2,200 feet to the south. The interchange spacing and land use in this part of the Metropolitan Area is similar to that located three miles to the south where the guideline changes to one mile interchange spacing. The Loop Option interchange concept includes additional design components to address the relatively close interchange spacing such as braided ramps for the northbound exit ramp to County Road H and the barrier separated auxiliary lane for southbound T.H. 35W for traffic exiting to County Road H and T.H. 10. An IAMR will be completed, and through that process it will be determined what revisions to the Loop Option concept are required by MnDOT and FHWA. Yes. Describe below: The proposed signalized access with County Road 96 is 1,500 feet and 3,500 feet from adjacent signalized intersections meeting the guidelines in Chapter 2 of the Mn/DOT Access Management Manual that recommends 1,320 feet signal spacing. 16. Will the amendment increase or decrease by 10% or more the 2030 forecasted households, population, or employment forecasts allocated to the development’s Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ)? Yes. No. If Yes, explain below: The original TAZ information included 3,475 for population, 1,300 for households, 700 for non-retail employment, and 500 for retail employment. The low AUAR scenario included 1,500 households, 1,700 KSF for non-retail square footage, and 500 KSF for retail square footage. Using a conservative employment conversions at 2 employees per 1,000 square, would result in 3,400 non-retail and 1,000 retail employees (offices are usually closer to 3 employees per 1,000 square feet). Transit and Other Modes of Transportation 17. Is the amendment likely to have any impact, positive or negative, on transit service? No, not currently served by transit or will not affect transit. Yes. List existing routes, describe changes, and identify proposed/necessary transit facility improvements (e.g. shelters, park & rides, etc) below: 860 Express stopping at the Mermaid Park & Ride on County Road 10 and County Road H. 250 Express stopping at the County Road H Park & Ride at I-35W. It is reasonable to expect that the TCAAP development will increase the demand for these nearby, off-site park & ride facilities. No improvements to these facilities are proposed with the TCAAP development. The Metropolitan Council is evaluating the feasibility of extending the A-Line BRT route to TCAAP. The County Road included in the proposed development will be designed to accommodate BRT facilities should Metro Transit supply service to the area. 18. Does the amendment include Traffic Demand Management (TDM) strategies or land use and urban design measures, if applicable? Comprehensive Plan Amendment Submittal Form May 2011 6 Yes. No. If No, explain why not. If Yes, describe below (e.g. car and van pooling, flexible work hours, mixed land uses that discourage vehicle trips and promote walking, biking, ridesharing, and transit): Mixed uses, car & van pool opportunities, proximity to nearby neighborhoods, flexible hours associated with office uses, compact development, and bicycle & pedestrian facilities will decrease the necessity of vehicle trips. 19. Does the amendment include any pedestrian or bicycle access or facilities? Yes. No. If No, explain why not. If yes, describe access/facilities below: Connections from County Road 96 through the center and eastern edge of the site are provided with 10' bituminous trails that both connect to the Rice Creek Regional Park trails at the northern portion of the site. Sidewalks will be provided in residential and mixed-use neighborhoods with connections to County Road 96 and County Road H. Aviation 20. Does the amendment affect any airport functions? Not applicable. Site is not within airport compatibility area or search area. No. The site is within airport compatibility area or search area, but no impacts. Explain below: The site is within the 6NM compatibility area around the Anoka County - Blaine Airport but does not contain any landfills or wind towers. http://www.metrocouncil.org/METC/files/11/11657eb7-af42-417e-83f2-11b842f700d9.pdf Yes. The CPA site is within an airport compatibility area or search area, and experiences off-airport impacts related to the following: Aircraft Noise. Describe whether the community has adopted land use compatibility guidelines, including preventive and corrective noise abatement and/or mitigation measures being applied. Airport Safety Zoning. Indicate whether the community participates on a joint airport/community zoning board, has an approved airport zoning ordinance, and how those requirements relate to the proposal. Airport Infrastructure. Describe how the proposal affects or is affected by the provision of services or facilities to the airport (e.g. roads, utilities, police/fire, etc.). SECTION 5: WATER RESOURCES http://www.metrocouncil.org/planning/LPH/LPHSect5.pdf Wastewater 21. What type of wastewater treatment will be used to serve the proposed amendment? Individual Sewage Treatment System (ISTS) Comprehensive Plan Amendment Submittal Form May 2011 7 Privately Owned / Community Treatment System Local / Municipal Owned Wastewater Treatment Plant Regional Wastewater Treatment 22. Wastewater Flow: Complete the following table to show whether the amendment increases or decreases wastewater flow compared to the currently planned land use and sewer flow projections. Year Total Community Flow Pre-Amendment (mgd) Total Community Flow Post-Amendment (mgd) 2010 1.28 0.86 2020 1.47 1.30 2030 1.47 1.73 mgd = million gallons per day 23. Does the local wastewater system have adequate capacity or staged capacity to accommodate the proposed amendment? Yes. No. Explain response below: Sanitary sewer will need to be extended into the AUAR study area to provide sewer service to the various lots. The use of a small lift station may be required depending on future uses, but the system will primarily be gravity-based. 24. Does the regional wastewater system have adequate capacity or staged capacity to accommodate the proposed amendment? Yes. No. Explain response below: The MCES lift station has a flow capacity of 5.8 million gallons per day (mgd). The average daily flow pumped at this lift station between 2005 and 2010 ranged from 0.47 mgd to 0.57 mgd. The corresponding allowable peak flow, reached during precipitation events, would be a maximum of just under 2.0 mgd. Therefore, the station’s reserve capacity is approximately 3.8 mgd. Based on the MCES Sewer Available Charge (SAC) Program, the estimated peak flows generated by the Maximum Development Scenario is 0.70 mgd. Therefore, in the Maximum Development Scenario approximately 3.1 mgd of capacity would remain at the lift station after the development of the AUAR study area. Both the lift station and the regional interceptors serving the study area and southeast Mounds View have sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional flow required in each Scenario. 25. Has the community and/or Metropolitan Council identified an inflow and infiltration (I/I) problem? Yes. No. If Yes, describe steps taken to address the I/I issue and plans for action below: According the the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan, the following steps have been outlined to address I/I: 1. Conduct additional investigation to pinpoint I&I sources. 2. Rehabilitation of defects: Serious defects that are identified during the course of the investigation will be rehabilitated to eliminate I&I sources. Since the majority of the defects that are identified will be smaller, they will be compiled and evaluated before developing a rehabilitation project. This list of defects will be regularly reviewed and prioritized to provide the most benefit. A data base of defects and projected rehabilitation methods will be maintained to prepare a priority listing of rehabilitation required to correct the problems. 3. Annual Report: An annual report will be prepared to summarize efforts and costs during the course of the year. It will include a review of flow data and comparison of changes from previous years and MCES allowable flow rates, and recommend work efforts for the following year. 26. Identify regional interceptor(s) that will be impacted by these changes and indicate if flows will be diverted from one interceptor service area to another below. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Submittal Form May 2011 8 4-NS-524 27. Does the amendment include any wastewater flow to an adjacent community? For new inter-community agreements, the receiving community must also amend the sewer element of its plan. Yes. Enclose a copy of the inter-community agreement with the amendment submittal. No. Surface Water 28. Will stormwater runoff generated from the amendment be treated on-site? No. Check one of the following and describe: Runoff will not receive treatment. Describe below: Runoff will be treated off-site. Identify off-site treatment facility below: Yes. Describe type and level of on-site pollutant removal treatment/mitigation plans below: According to the AUAR, stormwater will be managed on-site, maintaining the current drainage patterns and utilizing the current outfalls to Rice Creek and Round Lake. Stormwater will be conveyed to Round Lake and Rice Creek by means of underground storm sewer, ponds, vegetated swales, and wetlands. Conveyance systems will be designed in accordance with acceptable industry standards and in conformance with jurisdictional requirements. The primary method of stormwater treatment will be the use of multiple ponds for the removal of total phosphorous and total suspended solids. Water reuse, bio- filtration, filtration, and stormwater wetlands are also suitable for treatment within the Study Area. No discharge water will be directed to surface waters without prior retention in a temporary settling basin and a determination that no contamination exists. The developer will determine if groundwater is contaminated as a basis for determining discharge to storm sewer, sanitary sewer, or through a treatment process such as the existing groundwater treatment facilities. Temporary construction dewatering will require a Temporary Water Appropriations General Permit 1997-0005 if less than 50 million gallons per year and less than one year in duration. 29. Does the community an updated local surface water management plan? Yes. Year adopted: 2012 No. Explain below: 30. Does the community have an adopted erosion control or stormwater management ordinance? Yes.

TWIN CITIES ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT (TCAAP) PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT  Within this chapter the sections relating to the TCAAP property have been updated as of July 13, 2015, to reflect the proposed development and the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. Sections not directly related to the TCAAP property have not been updated. Goal: Develop TCAAP in a way that accommodates a mix of land uses that is sensitive to the natural environment, economically sustainable, and a benefit to the community. In 1941, the federal government started construction on the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP), which occupied about 3.7 square miles (2,370 acres) in what was then Mounds View Township (Figure 5.1). During a 16 month period, over 300 buildings were constructed to manufacture and test munitions for World War II. The plant also produced munitions for the Korean conflict, Vietnam conflict, and the first Gulf War. At its peak, the property had 40 miles of electric and telephone wire, 83 miles of sewer, 37 miles of road and railroad track, and employed more than 25,000 people. The entire TCAAP property was included in the Arden Hills municipal border when the City incorporated in 1951, and now occupies approximately the northern third of Arden Hills. The TCAAP property is bounded by Highway 96 on the south, Highways 10 and 35W on the west, Lexington Avenue on the east, and County Road I on the north. 5.1 TCAAP DECOMMISSIONING AND LAND TRANSFERS Between 1974 and 1985, the federal government started decommissioning TCAAP. While munitions production by private entities continued into the early 2000s, operations were a fraction of peak production. Plans to transfer portions of the property and redevelop it have been in the works since the 1980s. Redevelopment plans for the former TCAAP property have continued to evolve and become more detailed: City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-2 Table 5.1 – TCAAP Land Reuse Proposals 1982 1998 2008 2015 (Approved) Residential 970 445 168 151 Commercial/Industrial 500 222 182 168 Parks and Other Open Space 805 252 168 24 Institutional, Roads, & Other Public Use 95 215 65 84 na na 113 221 na 1,237 1,562 1,611 na na 113 113 2,370 2,370 2,371 2,371 Changes in Proposed TCAAP Land Reuse (acres) Re d e v e l o p m e n t Ar e a Rice Creek Trail Corridor Parks Preserve/Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS)/US Army Reserve Other (MnDot, Ramsey County, Arden Hills) Total Much of the former TCAAP property has already been transferred or leased to other public entities, including the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Ramsey County, Arden Hills, and the Minnesota National Guard (Figure 5.2). In April of 2013, Ramsey County purchased 427 acres of the TCAAP site from the General Services Administration (GSA) for redevelopment.The City, in cooperation with a private developer, is currently in the process of purchasing 585 acres of the TCAAP property along the property’s western border for redevelopment. 5.1.1 Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Rice Creek traverses the northwestern corner of the former TCAAP property and is an important animal habitat and recreation area. Approximately 112 113 acres adjacent to the creek were transferred to Ramsey County in 2006 for the development of the Rice Creek North Regional Trail their park and recreation system (Figure 5.2). The County anticipates completion of a trail adjacent to the Rice Creek in the summer of 2008. Ramsey County is currently working with the GSA to have an additional 108 acres of land transferred for the purpose of expanding the Rice Creek trail corridor. Ramsey County Parks and Recreation also owns a parcel that is approximately 7.25 acres in size parcel adjacent to Lexington Avenue near the Marsden Lake and wetland complex. This site is known as the Marsden Archery Range. 5.1.2 Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) and Army Reserve City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-3 Approximately 1,611560 acres will remain under federal ownership; however, the Minnesota National Guard has a long-term lease for most of the land. A small portion is used for the Army Reserve station in the far southeastern corner of the property. This land is expected to remain under federal ownership for the foreseeable future. The Minnesota National Guard has designated their leased area as the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS). Although live munitions firing are prohibited on the site, the Minnesota National Guard does use the property for training purposes. Much of AHATS is anticipated to remain as open space, but the National Guard is in the process of developing a long-term master plan for the property. The Arden Hills Army Training Site While the AHATS master plan has not been finalized, it is anticipated to include a field maintenance shop, training area management building, division headquarters, state joint force headquarters, billeting, and a number of ancillary buildings. The project is also expected to include an armory/training center that could have a community center component. The potential future buildings would be located on the north and west sides of the Ramsey County/Arden Hills Public Works Facility at the northwest corner of the Hamline Avenue and Highway 96 intersection. The potential impacts of the AHATS master plan have not been fully evaluated, but it will increase use and workers on the National Guard property. The City seeks to maintain a working relationship with the Minnesota National Guard on planning activities and to potentially collaborate on a community center as part of the training facility. 5.1.3 Ramsey CountyCity of Arden Hills In 19942002, the General Services Administration (GSA)federal government formally declared 774 585 acres of the TCAAP property as excess that was to be sold. In 2013, order to have a more proactive and holistic planning process for the excess property, Ramsey County purchased 427 acres of the site from the U.S. Government with the intent to clean up the property and put it back into productive economic use.s of the federally owned property known as TCAAP in 2013. the City, along with a private developer, entered into a purchase agreement with the federal government in 2007 to purchase 585 The property purchased by Ramsey County is acres of land adjacent to Interstate 35W and Highway 10 (Figure 5.2). The City of Arden Hills is partnering with Ramsey County on the redevelopment project, with the City being responsible for preparing the master plan and other land use control documents. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-4 5.1.4 City of Arden Hills The City of Arden Hills owns 6.9 acres of the former TCAAP property adjacent to Highway 96 (Figure 5.2). This property was transferred to the City for use as a new City Hall, which was completed in 2001. Various redevelopment plans have been in progress since the early 1980s, including the Vento Reuse Plan and the ,Framework Vision, and the Ryan Redevelopment Plan. Redevelopment plans continue to evolve as transfer of the land to the City draws closer. In 2007, the City initiated a more detailed community planning process to better define how the 585 acres should be redeveloped. While a final land use plan will not be approved in time for inclusion in this Comprehensive Plan, approximately 49 acres will be transferred to Ramsey County for a wildlife corridor connecting Rice Creek to the AHATS property and 76.5 acres in the northeastern part of the property will be used for an undetermined public use. Once the City adopts a land use redevelopment plan, the Comprehensive Plan will be amended to include any required data, including approved land uses, housing densities, transportation infrastructure, traffic generation, parks, open spaces, and water resource data. In preparation for that amendment, this Comprehensive Plan includes the overall vision for the redevelopment area, preliminary elements from the potential reuse plan, future land use designations, and the next steps in the property’s redevelopment. Since it is the City’s goal to fully incorporate the TCAAP property into the fabric of the community, the land use, housing, parks and open space, transportation, and other components of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment have been integrated into their respective chapters. The overall City vision, goals, and policies of each chapter apply to the entire TCAAP redevelopment. The City of Arden Hills already owns 6.9 acres of the former TCAAP property adjacent to Highway 96 (Figure 5.2). This property was transferred to the City for use as a new City Hall, which was completed in 2001. 5.1.5 State of Minnesota The State of Minnesota controls nearly 62 acres of the former TCAAP property in the northwestern corner adjacent to County Road I and Interstate 35W. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has a facility on the site, including a driver licensing center. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-5 5.2 TCAAP Master Plan The City of Arden Hills in partnership with Ramsey County has initiated a master planning process for the 427 acre parcel purchased by the County in April 2013. Over the course of the subsequent year, the City held a series of public open houses to solicit community preferences and met with local developers and other relevant stakeholders to help inform the Master Plan. The long-term vision for the site that came out of this process emphasized the need for regional employment, a variety of housing options, well-designed and pedestrian-friendly commercial areas, and a network of parks and open spaces. The City Council approved the Master Land Use Map for the site in June 2014, and the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) and Mitigation Plan in July 2014. Following these approvals, the City began work on the regulations and policies component of the Master Plan in August 2014. This document, officially titled the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), was adopted by the City Council in July 2015, and establishes the development regulations for the parcel purchased by Ramsey County. The goals of the TRC are to promote a more functional and attractive community through the use of recognized design principles and to allow property owners and developers flexibility in land use while prescribing a higher level of detail in building design and form. The City, along with the consultant team, drafted the TRC to codify the goals and vision for the site that were identified through the public engagement process. Included in the TRC is the TCAAP Redevelopment Regulating Plan, which has been adopted as the official zoning map for the site. While the Regulating Plan illustrates the City Council’s current preferred development pattern for the area, as development occurs or circumstances change, the City may consider amendments to the Regulating Plan to promote high quality development consistent with City goals. Since it is the City’s goal to fully incorporate the TCAAP property into the fabric of the community, the land use, housing, parks and open space, transportation, and other components of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment have been integrated into their respective chapters in the Comprehensive Plan. The overall City vision, goals, and policies of each chapter also apply to the entire TCAAP redevelopment. 5.2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 5-6 Portions of the TCAAP property were subject to environmental contamination during its four decades as a munitions manufacturing plant and testing area. The United States Army initiated environmental cleanup in the 1980s and cleanup of the groundwater is likely to may continue for at least the next 40 years. Additional environmental characterization and testing is underway to determine the extent of the cleanup that remains on the 585 acres prior to being redeveloped. The property will be cleaned up to required standards for residential, commercial, and recreational uses. In 2013, Ramsey County entered into a contract with Carl Bolander & Sons Co. for hazardous material abatement, demolition, and site remediation services for the TCAAP property. The remediation project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2015. Remediation will comply with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s residential standard. 5.2.2 REDEVELOPMENT TIMELINE Demolition and remediation of the site is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2015. After the demolition and remediation is concluded grading of the site will begin for the construction of the Spine Road and trunk utilities in 2016. At this time, it is expected that private development will begin in 2017. While the redevelopment timeline has not been fully determined, construction will not begin before 2009. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next 10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of conditions, including the market, environmental cleanup, transportation improvements, and other related factors. Once the City adopts a redevelopment plan for TCAAP, a more detailed timeline will be created.

LAND USE  Within this chapter the sections relating to the TCAAP property have been updated as of July 13, 2015, to reflect the proposed development and the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. Sections not directly related to the TCAAP property have not been updated. Goal: Develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and character of our residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas while protecting the community’s natural resources and developing a sustainable pattern for future development. To advance this land use goal, the following policies are proposed: o Evaluate and amend the land use regulations to achieve the highest possible development standards, enhance the natural environment, protect public health, support a vital mix of land uses, and promote flexible approaches to implement the Comprehensive Plan. o Ensure that land use regulations promote development that is compatible with nearby properties, neighborhood character, and natural features; minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflict; and visually enhance development. o Preserve the stability and quality of the city's neighborhoods while allowing for redevelopment that is complimentary to existing development. o Provide a balanced mix of residential, park, open space, and commercial land uses. o Construct all new development at an average density of at least three residential units per net residential acre. o Explore the possibility of creating additional community gathering space in conjunction with public or private organizations, including AHATS. 6.1 INTRODUCTION Land use is a defining characteristic of a community. While land use does not operate independently from the other characteristics that create a community, it is a binding factor between transportation, housing, parks, paths, and other characteristics. Through zoning, subdivision, and other land use regulations, a city has powerful tools to guide the long-term, look, feel, and vitality of their community. Despite the vacant TCAAP property (see Chapter 5), Arden Hills is classified as a fully developed community by the Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Regional Development Framework. The City is also entirely within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The areas south of Highways 96 and 10 were mostly developed by the end of the 1970s, and less than three percent of the developable land in that part of Arden Hills City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-2 is vacant. Significant land use changes are not anticipated in the developed part of Arden Hills; however, study areas have been identified in the Future Land Use section of this chapter. The City seeks to take a proactive stance to protect the high quality of life that residents have come to expect and to prepare for potential redevelopment opportunities on TCAAP and throughout the community. 6.2 FUTURE LAND USE – 1998 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The 1998 Comprehensive Plan included a future land use map (Figure 6.1) and proposed mix of land uses for future development, including potential land uses for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment: Table 6.1 – 1998 Future Land Use Acres Low Density Residential 1,114 Medium Density Residential 199 High Density Residential 5 Neighborhood Business 9 Commercial 132 Industrial 390 Parks 350 Subtotal 882 Mixed Residential 445 Mixed Business 222 Parks 251 Park Preserve 1,237 Public/Institutional 215 Subtotal 2,370 Right-of-way (major roads only) & Open Water 2,902 Total 6,154 TC A A P Land Use So u t h o f H i g h w a y 9 6 / 1 0 The 1998 future land use data did not include detailed open water coverage or right-of- way area information, which makes comparing it to actual 2008 land uses difficult. In order to make a more accurate comparison between the existing land uses in 2008 and the proposed future land uses from 1998, estimated right-of-way and open water data has been incorporated into the 1998 land use data (Table 6.2). Due to the methodology for calculating land use data by the Metropolitan Council, only the rights-of-way for highways are calculated. The rights-of-way for city streets and smaller roadways are included with the adjacent land uses.

Low density residential (LDR) – traditional single-family residential land use category. A density range of three to five units per acre is allowed. 2. Medium density residential (MDR) – apartment and townhome land use category for providing densities of up to eight units per acre. 3. High density residential (HDR) – apartment and townhome land use category providing for densities of up to twelve units per acre. Mobile homes are also included in this category. 4. Mixed Residential (MR) – designed to provide for a variety and mixture of housing types, particularly in the TCAAP area. This category will allow for those types of units not readily available now in the City. 5. Neighborhood business (NB) – neighborhood business designates small, isolated areas for neighborhood commercial land uses when they are compatible with surrounding residential uses. Commercial uses that are high traffic generators, noise generators, or otherwise not compatible with residential neighborhoods, are inappropriate. Typically, neighborhood business areas will be located on intersections or nodes that are on the edge of residential areas, are less desirable sites for housing, or have traditionally been occupied with neighborhood services. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-4 6. Commercial (C) – areas designated for a broad range of retail shopping and services to meet the needs of the community. Compatible uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. 7. Mixed Business (MB) – areas designated for a variety of business, commercial and industrial uses, including office, general business, retail, and industrial uses. This designation will be used for the future commercial/industrial uses on the TCAAP property. 8. Industrial (IND) – areas designated for a broad range of industrial uses, including office, warehouse, and manufacturing. 9. Public & Institutional (P/I) – designates areas for uses including government buildings, colleges, schools, and churches. 10. Parks – areas designated for city and county parks. 11. Park Preserve (PP) – areas designated as natural and scenic areas that are to be preserved for public use. 12. Right-of-way (ROW) – public vehicular, transit rail, and/or pedestrian rights-of- way. 13. Water (WAT) – includes permanently flooded open water, rivers and streams, and wetlands (wetlands not included in the national wetland inventory data may not be displayed). 6.3 EXISTING LAND USE – 2008 The 2008 existing land use data is based on City and County property records and known land uses (Figure 6.2). The land uses are classified into the following categories: 1. Single Family Attached (SFA) – includes all attached single family homes such as townhomes with separate entrances. 2. Single Family Detached (SFD) – includes all detached single family homes. 3. Multiple Family (MF) – includes apartment buildings and condominiums of more than one story. 4. Manufactured Housing (MH) – includes manufactured and mobile homes in specialized parks. 5. Neighborhood Business (NB) – neighborhood business designates small, isolated areas for neighborhood commercial land uses when they are compatible with surrounding residential uses.

Commercial (COM) – areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. 7. Office (OFC) – Predominantly administrative, professional, or clerical services; includes medical clinics. 8. Mixed Use Industrial (MUI) – includes light manufacturing and/or processing, warehousing, distribution, and offices. 9. Light Industrial (LI) – primarily light manufacturing and/or processing of products; could include light industrial land use, distribution, warehouse facilities, and offices as a secondary use. 10. Park and Open Space (P/OS) – areas designated as public parks. 11. Public & Institutional (P/I) – areas designated for uses such as government buildings, colleges, schools, and religious uses but not medical uses. 12. Utility (UTL) – Public or private land occupied by a power substation, water tower, municipal well, pumping station, or similar use. 13. Vacant (VAC) – Private land not occupied with a building or use. 14. Water (WAT) – includes permanently flooded open water, rivers and streams, and wetlands (wetlands not included in the national wetland inventory data may not be displayed). 15. Railroad right-of-way (RR) – Railroad right-of-way. 16. Right-of-way (ROW) – public vehicular, transit and/or pedestrian rights-of- way. Although there were few land use changes between 1998 and 2008, there are differences between the 1998 future land use data and the 2008 existing land use data. The differences are largely attributable to more accurate data in 2008, the delayed redevelopment of the TCAAP property, and other vacant property that was not developed. The two data sets use different land use descriptions because the 2008 existing land use data is based on actual land use while the 1998 future land use numbers were based on anticipated development. In addition to more accurate data, there were a few land use changes between 1998 and 2008. In 2007, the Hazelnut Park #3 subdivision and subsequent extension of Katie Lane was approved, which increased the amount of land used for right-of-way. As part of the 2005 pavement management program, the road that connected Red Fox Road to Grey Fox Road was vacated, which reduced the amount of area used for right- of-way. Fernwood Avenue on the Boston Scientific (formerly Guidant) campus was vacated while Cummings Drive was dedicated to the City. The current land uses on the TCAAP property are were the most notable differences from what was expected in the 1998 future land uses to the actual land uses in 2008. Since 1998, the number of acres that were anticipated to be part of the TCAAP City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-6 redevelopment has been reduced and, moreover, the redevelopment was delayed. While a specific redevelopment timeline for TCAAP has not been set, much Much of the TCAAP redevelopment is anticipated to occur in phases over the next 10 to 20 years depending on market conditions. Finally, of the 131 acres of vacant land in 2008, approximately 70 acres are zoned for residential, 40 acres are zoned commercial, and 21 acres are light industrial. The vacant areas have not significantly changed anticipated land use types between the 1998 and 2030 future land use maps. The vacant land does not include the TCAAP property, which is currently classified as public/institutional land since it is owned by the federal government. 6.4 FUTURE LAND USE - 2030 While redevelopment may occur on some parcels throughout the City, no significant land use changes in the developed areas of Arden Hills are anticipated (Figure 6.3). Most of the City’s projected population, household, and employment growth will occur on the proposed TCAAP redevelopment site. Table 6.4 – 2030 Future Land Use* * Subsequent to the City Council’s approval on September 28, 2009, the MB and MR future land use categories were further clarified between land on TCAAP and outside of TCAAP. The total amount of area in each category is unchanged except for a rounding adjustment.

Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) – traditional single-family residential land use category. A density range of 1.5 to 3 units per acre. 2. Low Density Residential (LDR) – traditional single-family residential land use category. A density range of three to five units per acre may be allowed. 3. Medium Density Residential (MDR) – apartment and townhome land use category for providing densities of six to nine units per acre. 4. High Density Residential (HDR) – apartment and townhome land use category providing for densities of nine to twelve units per acre. 5. Neighborhood Residential (NR) – Provides for a range of attached and detached single-family and small multi-family uses at a density of 1.5 to 8 units per acre. 6. Neighborhood Transition (NT) – Provides for a mix of small and medium multi-family uses at a density of 8 to 15 units per acre. Small scale commercial uses are also permitted in this district when transition standards and development criteria have been met. 4.7. Town Center (TC) – Provides for a range of commercial and residential uses that offer housing, assisted living, senior housing, office, retail, restaurant, and civic uses. Medium and large residential uses are permitted at a density of 15 to 45 units per acre. 5. Mixed Residential (MR) – provides for a variety of housing types and densities in close proximity, including single-family detached homes, single-attached homes, condominiums, townhomes, apartments, and senior housing options. The anticipated average density is 10.4 units per acre with a minimum average density of six units per acre up to a maximum density of 46 units per acre. This land use is designated for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, and the density is subject to change once a final land use plan is selected. 6.8. Neighborhood Business (NB) – neighborhood business designates small, isolated areas for neighborhood commercial land uses when they are compatible with surrounding residential uses. Commercial uses that are high traffic generators, noise generators, or otherwise not compatible with residential neighborhoods, are inappropriate. Typically, Neighborhood Business areas will be located on intersections or nodes that are on the edge of residential areas, are less desirable sites for housing, or have traditionally been occupied City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-8 with neighborhood services. Dwelling units of three units per acre or more may be permitted. 7.9. Mixed Business (MB) – areas designated for a variety of businesses, including commercial, certain light industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, retail. This designation will be used for the future business uses on the TCAAP property. 8.10. Commercial (C) – areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. 11. Community Mixed Use (CMU) – areas designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, services, and office space to meet the needs of the community and surrounding areas. This area may also include medium to high density housing with a potential density of three to 20 units per acre. 12. Campus Commercial (CC) – Provides for multiple, single tenant buildings or campuses within a business park atmosphere. 13. Retail Mixed-Use (RMU) – Promotes retail as a primary use and allows for other commercial uses to be incorporated as vertical mixed-use buildings. 14. Office Mixed-Use – (OMU) – Focuses on office as a primary use, but also permits other commercial uses to be incorporated as vertical mixed-use buildings. 15. Flex Office (FO) – Permits large scale development for employment and light manufacturing uses that take advantage of highway frontage and automobile access. 9.16. Light Industrial and Office (I/O) – areas designated for a broad range of light industrial uses such as warehousing with manufacturing. This land use may also include offices. 10.17. Public & Institutional (P/I) – areas designated for uses such as government buildings, colleges, schools, and religious uses, but not medical uses. 11.18. Utility (UTL) – Public or private land occupied by a power substation, water tower, municipal well, pumping station, drainage infrastructure , or similar use. 12.19. Park and Open Space (P/OS) – areas designated as public parks. 13.20. Park Preserve (PP) – areas designated as natural or scenic areas that are to be preserved for public use or open space. 14.21. Water – includes permanently flooded open water, rivers and streams, and wetlands (wetlands not included in the national wetland inventory data may not be displayed). City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-9 15.22. Railroad right-of-way (RR) – public or private freight or passenger rail activities. 16.23. Right-of-way (ROW) – public vehicular, transit and/or pedestrian rights-of-way. 6.4.2 Former City Hall/Public Works Property The 6.82 acre former City Hall/Public Works property is undergoing a community vision process to determine how the property should be redeveloped (Figure 6.4). The property was home to the Arden Hills City Hall and Public Works for many years. While a redevelopment plan for this property was not adopted in time for this Comprehensive Plan, residential uses or a mix of residential and small-scale commercial uses are anticipated. Neither residential nor commercial development should require a change to the future land use designation. 6.4.3 Guiding Plan for the B2 District In March 2008, the City initiated a visioning and planning process for the B-2 General Business District, which generally includes the commercial properties near County Road E between Lexington Avenue and Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 (Figure 6.4). This area hosts a number of retail, service, and office uses. Long considered the “downtown” of Arden Hills, the district is a mix of newer and older buildings. As this corridor ages, market initiated redevelopment is anticipated. The City completed the planning process and accepted the “Guiding Plan for the B2 District” in October 2008. The Guiding Plan includes a long-term vision for the future redevelopment of this corridor and addresses transportation issues, land uses, infrastructure improvements, landscaping, pedestrian facilities, building design, and site layout among other issues. While the primary uses along this corridor are likely to remain retail, commercial, and office, the Guiding Plan and subsequent land use changes add the possibility for housing in this area. Although the Guiding Plan document is not adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan, the future land use map has been updated to reflect the proposed land uses in the B2 District (CMU), and the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes a potential timeline for the public improvements described in the Guiding Plan (Appendix A). City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-10 6.4.4 Red Fox/Grey Fox/Lexington Avenue Business Area Guiding Plan Immediately north of the B2 District is a significant industrial, office, and retail area for the City. This area includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway (Figure 6.4). This area is used by a number of small and large businesses for a variety of retail, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This area was largely developed between the 1950s and 1970s, though the retail area has had some new development in the last 10 years. While good access to regional transportation has helped to continue to make this area viable, some of the buildings are becoming functionally obsolete for modern manufacturing, warehousing, and business uses. As redevelopment pressure increases, a more detailed guiding plan is required to comprehensively address the overall redevelopment needs in this area of the City. 6.4.5 Neighborhood Business The neighborhood business land use concept was developed in the 1998 Comprehensive Plan (Figure 6.1). The purpose of the concept was to promote the development of commercial nodes that were compatible with the surrounding residential uses and provided services to residential areas. Commercial uses that would generate high traffic, noise, or other negative impacts were considered undesirable. Neighborhood business areas were located at intersections or nodes at the edge of residential areas, on properties not considered desirable for housing, or properties that have traditionally been occupied with neighborhood services. Housing could be a component of the development but would not necessarily be the focal point. To date, the success of the neighborhood business district has been mixed. Two projects have been developed under this zoning designation, and both resulted in the construction of small office buildings with a variety of services. However, neither of the projects focused on providing neighborhood level services. Nevertheless, the City seeks to maintain the neighborhood business areas and the long-term goal of creating small commercial areas that enhance the residential neighborhoods. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-11 6.4.6 Manufactured Home Community The Arden Manor neighborhood has been identified as an important community and the primary supply of affordable housing options in the City. Bounded by Interstate 35W, Highway 96, and Highway 10, the neighborhood is facing pressure from adjacent highways and land uses. Although the 1998 Comprehensive Plan identified this area for potential redevelopment into non- residential uses, the City anticipates this property will remain as a medium density residential use for the foreseeable future. Although complete impacts are not yet known, potential changes to Highways 10 and 96 may impact the manufactured home community. The City is currently in the process of reviewing road design proposals for this area. 6.4.7 TCAAP Redevelopment As noted in Chapter 5, the City of Arden Hills hired a consultant team in 2013, to create a Master Plan for the redevelopment of the TCAAP site. A central component of this work was the development of a Master Land Use Plan that allocated an appropriate mix of residential, commercial, industrial, civic, and open space uses on the site. The Master Land Use Plan was approved by the City Council in July 2015, and has been incorporated in the revised 2030 Future Land Use data (Figure 6.3 and Table 6.4). The City began work on the zoning and design standards to implement the Master Land Use Plan in August 2014. These regulations and policies are found in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), which was approved in July 2015. The TRC puts in place land use regulations that will achieve the community’s goals for the TCAAP redevelopment including: high development and design standards; defined residential neighborhoods and commercial districts interconnected by streets, trails, and sidewalks; energy resiliency and sustainability; and abundant parks and open space. As noted in Chapter 5, a land use plan for TCAAP has not yet been adopted by the City; however, the City recognizes the importance and potential impact of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment (Figure 6.4) on the City and region. Therefore, the preliminary, unapproved land use data for TCAAP has been included for informational purposes (Figure 6.3). Upon selection of a land use plan, this City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-12 Comprehensive Plan will be amended to reflect the approved land use designations in TCAAP. The future land use map currently includes just two land uses, Mixed Business and Mixed Residential (Figure 6.3). There will be institutional uses, parks, wetlands, and roads on the property; however, their exact locations and acreage have not been determined. The most recent unapproved concept plan for TCAAP includes the following land uses: Table 6. - TCAAP Land Reuse Concept Acres Residential 168 Commercial/Industrial 182 Parks and Other Open Space 168 Institutional, Roads, & Other Public Use 65 112 1,562 113 2,370 Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS)/US Army Reserve/Parks Preserve Other (MnDot, Ramsey County, Arden Hills) Total Acerage is approximate. Land Use Re d e v e l o p m en t A r e a Rice Creek Trail Corridor The TCAAP property is anticipated to host a mix of uses, including retail, office, hotel, office showrooms, parks, open spaces, and a variety of housing types and densities. Housing types will likely include single family homes, townhomes, senior housing, apartments, and condos, though market conditions will impact what can be built. The parks and open space area include active and passive parks, a 49 acre wildlife corridor, and 76.5 acres of land that will be used for an undetermined public use. All TCAAP redevelopment information is subject to change once a final land use and redevelopment plan is selected. 6.4.8 Development Capacity and Net Residential Density The Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Regional Development Framework requires an average net residential density of at least three units per net residential acre. Densities lower than this are not an efficient use of the region’s sanitary sewer infrastructure. Net residential acreage is calculated by subtracting wetlands, water bodies, public parks, arterial streets, and identified natural resources that City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-13 are protected by ordinance from gross acres. The number of net residential acres is then divided by the number of lots to determine net residential density. According to the 2005 land use data provided by the Metropolitan Council, there were 1,318 acres of net residential land in Arden Hills, which includes the rights- of-way of adjacent City streets. The United States Census Bureau lists 3,017 housing units in Arden Hills in 2000. Based on that information, the residential density in the developed portion of Arden Hills is approximately 2.29 residential units per net residential acre. While this is below the three units per net residential acre required by the Metropolitan Council, the City is not required to raise densities in the built portion of Arden Hills. However, all future land uses should be able to accommodate development in average of three units per net residential acre. There are no expected land use changes that would result in a reduction in net residential density in the developed part of Arden Hills. Furthermore, the remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is already zoned for development that could be built at a density of an average of three residential units per acre. The approved Master Plan for the TCAAP property includes 151 acres of residential land and a maximum of 1,431 residential units for an overall maximum gross density of 9.48 units per acre. The gross density includes the neighborhood collector roads; however, it excludes parks, arterial roads, and the water infrastructure. The unapproved concept plan for the TCAAP property includes 168 acres of residential area and 1,750 residential units for a preliminary average density of 10.4 units per net residential acre. This density is only preliminary because wetlands, parks, and protected natural areas have not been removed from the 168 acres that are anticipated to be used for residential development. The densities in the residential areas will be varied to allow for a variety of housing types. 6.4.9 Staged Development Since the areas south of Highways 96 and 10 are considered fully developed and there is relatively little vacant property, a five year staged development has not been developed. While a small amount of vacant land exists in the developed portion of the City, development on the vacant land is unlikely to have a significant impact on the City’s or region’s infrastructure. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-14 As previously noted in Chapter 5.2.2 the demolition and remediation of the TCAAP site is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2015. After the demolition and remediation is concluded grading of the site will begin for the construction of the Spine Road and trunk utilities in 2016. At this time, it is expected that private development will begin in 2017. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next 10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of conditions, including the market, transportation improvements, and other related factors. As previously noted the development timeline for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment is not yet known. The land uses provided in this Comprehensive Plan for TCAAP have not been approved by the City and have only been included to provide context for the reuse of the TCAAP property. Commercial or residential development on TCAAP will not start before 2009 and completion is anticipated to take ten to twenty years depending on market conditions. Once a land use plan for the TCAAP property is approved, a staged development plan that addresses land use and infrastructure impacts in five year increments will be included with an amendment to this Comprehensive Plan. 6.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In order to advance implementation of this land use chapter, the below activities are proposed. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive and additional activities that advance the land use goal are encouraged to be developed. o Update the City’s Zoning Code to bring it into conformance with the land uses in the Comprehensive Plan. o Evaluate zoning regulations to ensure that sufficient buffers are provided between commercial, industrial, and residential uses to protect the character of the City’s residential neighborhoods. o Develop small area plans for the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-Flex Zoning Districts to provide a more detailed redevelopment vision for incorporation into this Comprehensive Plan. o Develop design standards for commercial, industrial, and residential developments to ensure the construction of high-quality, sustainable, and aesthetically enhancing development. o Develop zoning regulations that restrict housing construction that is not sensitive to the character of the existing neighborhood. o Continue to enforce property maintenance codes to protect quality and property values in the City. o Develop zoning classifications for all future development on the TCAAP property. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 6-15 o Adopt design standards for the TCAAP development to create a cohesive character that compliments the established neighborhoods in the City. o Work to protect significant environmental features on the AHATS property as park preserve. o Work with the National Guard on the AHATS property to develop synergistic uses such as a community center. The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s land use goal and policies.

HOUSING  Within this chapter the sections relating to the TCAAP property have been updated as of July 13, 2015, to reflect the proposed development and the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. Sections not directly related to the TCAAP property have not been updated. Goal: Develop and maintain a strong, vital, diverse and stable housing supply for all members of the community. To achieve this housing goal, the following policies are proposed: o Promote the development of a variety of housing options by preserving and increasing high-quality housing opportunities that are suitable for a mix of ages, incomes and household types. o Encourage the incorporation of affordable, life-cycle, and work force housing into new development and redevelopment where feasible. o Maintain the quality, safety, and unique character of the City’s housing stock. o Preserve and strengthen the community’s neighborhoods to maintain a high- quality of life for residents. o Encourage housing development and redevelopment that is complimentary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 7.1 INTRODUCTION One of the principal roles of a community is to serve as a place to live. In Arden Hills, 23.1 percent of all of the land area in the community is currently used for housing (not including TCAAP). However, if public open spaces and roads are removed, housing accounts for 52.9 percent of all developed land in Arden Hills. The approved TCAAP Master Plan envisions that 35.4 percent of the total 427 acre site will be developed for residential uses. Because housing is such an important part of Arden Hills, maintaining the quality of the current housing stock while providing long-term opportunities for new housing is important to the ongoing vitality of the community and to retaining Arden Hills’ reputation as a highly desirable place to live. 7.2 CONTEXT According to the United States Census, Arden Hills had 3,017 housing units in 2000. A housing unit is the actual structure while a household refers to the people living in a housing unit. Approximately 68 percent of the housing units in Arden Hills are detached single-family homes, 12 percent are attached single family homes (commonly referred to as townhomes), and nine percent are manufactured homes. These three housing types comprise almost 90 percent of the City’s housing supply. Arden Hills has the City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-2 second highest percentage of single-family homes compared to adjacent communities and is significantly above the Ramsey County and metropolitan area average. Apartments with ten or more units are just 2.74 percent of the City’s housing stock. The City has just one traditional apartment building with 37 units and one condominium building with 72 units. The City has very few duplexes, which are relatively more prevalent in other metropolitan communities (Figure 7.2). 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 1-unit detached 1-unit attached 2 to 4 units 5 to 9 units 10 or more units Mobile home, trailer, or other Ho u s i n g U n i t s 1990 2000 Figure 7.1 – Arden Hills Housing Type Source: US Census 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%7 -C o u nty Metr o R a ms e y C o un t y A r d en Hills Mo u nds V ie w New Brig h ton Ros e ville Shoreview Single Family (attached and detached)Duplexes Mulit-Family and attached housing Mobile homes Other units Figure 7.2 – Housing Type by Community Source: US Census City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-3 Household composition will play a role in defining future housing needs in Arden Hills. Between 1990 and 2000, increases were seen in both the number of non-family households and in householders living alone. 2,904 2,317 2,048 2,959 2,227 1,883 732 590440587 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 Total households Family households (families) Married-couple family Nonfamily households Householder living alone 1990 2000 Figure 7.3 – Arden Hills Household Type Source: US Census Additionally, the age of Arden Hills’ residents will also impact housing choices. From 1990 to 2000, there was a significant increase in residents between 45 and 54 years of age. By 2012, this segment will increase in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the population. Additionally, by 2012 notable increases in the population between 65 and 74 as well as the 75+ age group will continue to occur. 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 17 and under 18-24 years 25-44 years 45-54 years 55-64 years 65-74 years 75+ 1990 2000 2012 Figure 7.4 – Arden Hills Age Distribution 1990, 2000, 2012 City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-4 Source: US Census and Maxfield Research Group The age of the existing housing stock is also an indicator of potential future needs. From 1970 to 1979, 920 housing units were built in Arden Hills, the most of any decade to date. Of note is the fact that 50 percent of the housing in the community was constructed prior to 1974 (not including the manufactured homes). Homes that are older than 30 years may typically need more repairs and renovations. 97 166 455 208 920 537 201 35 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1,000 1939 or Earlier 1940 - 1949 1950 - 1959 1960 - 1969 1970 - 1979 1980 - 1989 1990 - 1999 2000 - 2006 Figure 7.5 – Age of Housing Stock Source: 1990 & 2000 US Census and City of Arden Hills Group quarters, which include college dormitories, nursing homes, and group homes, are calculated separately from traditional types of housing such as single family homes, townhomes, and apartments. Since 1990, group quarters and the number of people living in group quarters have increased: Table 7.1 – Arden Hills Group Quarters Population 1990 2000 2008* College Dormitories 631 1,557 1,776 Nursing Homes 384 411 377 Other Group Quarters 10 20 25 Total 1,025 1,988 2,178 Source: US Census, Bethel University, Presbyterian Homes *Estimated Almost the entire group quarters population is at Bethel University and Presbyterian Homes. Between 2000 and 2004, Bethel University increased the on-campus housing capacity from 1,530 to 1,963 students. Presbyterian Homes, a senior housing facility, City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-5 had a 377 capacity and 19 senior apartment units and is typically at capacity. The remaining group quarters population lives in group homes in the residential areas of the City. While group quarters housing is calculated separately from traditional housing, it is important to recognize this type of housing can impact the City’s sewer, water, transportation, parks, and recreation systems differently than traditional types of housing. It is likely that the number of people living in group quarters at Bethel University, Presbyterian homes, and other group homes will increase as those facilities do have additional land to expand. Therefore, it is important for the City to work with these institutions to manage the potential impacts as well as promote a diversity of housing. 7.3 HOUSEHOLD FORECASTS The total number of households in Arden Hills is forecasted to increase by over 55 percent between 2000 and 2030 2010 and 2040.

When adjusted for group quarters population, the people per household is comparable to the adjacent cities and metropolitan area.

They include housing diversity, housing affordability, and housing quality. Each is discussed below. 7.4.1 Housing Diversity Life-cycle housing, which was referenced in the housing goals, is a common term used to describe the provision of housing types for all stages of life. Life-cycle housing is based on the premise that as people go through life, their housing needs change. A young person getting out of school and just starting out usually cannot afford to own a home so they often begin by renting. As a person grows older, they often establish a family and buy their first home, sometimes either a starter home or townhome. As a family’s income grows, they may move up to a Figure 7.6 - Life Cycle Housing City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-7 larger home. Once the children leave and the family size decreases, parents often move back to a smaller home with fewer maintenance needs or to one of the growing number of either single-family or multi-family housing options that has an association that take care of home and property maintenance. Eventually, as a person ages, there is often a need for assisted living or an extended care facility. Housing in Arden Hills today is primarily focused on one stage of the housing life- cycle, move-up housing. Ironically, a significant number of units constructed in Arden Hills during the 1970s were oriented to the first-time homebuyer market. As housing prices have risen over the past three to four decades, what was once priced for a first-time buyer is now classified as move-up housing due to escalated prices. Arden Hills does still have a limited supply of more entry level housing. In 2007, there were 285 units in the Arden Manor manufactured home community and approximately 80 percent of the units were owner occupied. Rental housing is another component of life-cycle housing that needs to be addressed. Rental housing is an important component of the overall housing supply since it provides options for both the beginning and later stages of the life- cycle chain. It may also serve the needs of several segments of the population including retail service employees, seniors, young adults just entering the workplace and economically disadvantaged households. Based on the homestead data from Ramsey County, 10 percent of the housing in Arden Hills is classified as non-homesteaded, which is a rough indicator for rental housing. According to Ramsey County property information, slightly more than 94 percent of the occupied single family homes and townhomes (not including manufactured homes or condominiums) were owner occupied in 2008. Arden Hills promotes housing diversity through its long-term goals, policies, and strategies. The market is also expected to exert pressure on the City for more housing diversity. As was noted earlier, factors such as an aging population, a population that has more non-family households, and increased numbers of householders living alone is expected to drive demand for more attached, multi- family housing. Multi-family units expected to be in demand are likely to be oriented toward both owners and renters. 7.4.2 Housing Affordability Affordable housing is an issue in every Twin Cities area community. With housing costs outpacing many wages, it is becoming increasingly important to focus on affordable housing. Because of the disparity of housing costs and City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-8 wages throughout the Twin Cities, affordable housing continues to be a major initiative of the Metropolitan Council. According to the Metropolitan Council, housing is considered affordable if it is priced at or below 30 percent of the gross income of a household earning 60 percent of the Twin Cities median family income. In 2007, the area median income for the seven-county Minneapolis-St. Paul area adjusted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a family of four was $78,500. Therefore, in 2007, housing was considered affordable if annual housing costs for a family of four do not exceed 30 percent of $47,100, which translates to $14,130 per year or $1,177.50 per month for housing. While the purchasing power of $1,177.50 per month depends on interest rates and other household factors, it could be sufficient to purchase a home that is priced in the range of $150,000. To implement the Livable Communities Act in 2007, the Metropolitan Council uses as the upper limit of affordability for ownership purchase price and monthly rents, the following dollar amounts: Table 7.5 - 2007 Owned Occupied Affordable Housing Prices Household Income Level: Affordable Home Price 80% of area median income ($62,800) $206,800 60% of area median income ($47,100) $152,000 Source: Metropolitan Council Table 7.6 - Rental Housing Affordable Prices Bedroom size: *Monthly gross rent including tenant-paid utilities, affordable at 50% of area median income Efficiency $687 1 bedroom $736 2 bedrooms $883 3 bedrooms $1,020 4 bedrooms $1,138 2007 RENTAL HOUSING Source: Metropolitan Council The mean assessed value of housing in Arden Hills in 2007 was $291,778 with a median of $272,100 (Figure 7.7). Based on 2007 assessed property values from Ramsey County, 25 percent of the housing was at or below the affordable home price of $206,800 and approximately 13 percent was at or below $152,000. In January of 2006, the Metropolitan Council released a report entitled “Determining the Affordable Housing Need in the Twin Cities 2011-2020”. The report not only forecasts the regional need by 2020 for newly constructed, City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-9 affordable housing but it allocates each community’s share of the regional need. The total need for newly constructed housing in the Twin Cities is estimated to be 51,000 units between 2011 and 2020. Each community’s share of the regional need is allocated based on a number of factors. According to the Metropolitan Council, 30.6 percent of new housing units in all cities should be affordable. Allocations are then adjusted by job proximity, the composition of the housing stock and access to transit service. Based on the formula, the Metropolitan Council has allocated a need for 288 affordable housing units to Arden Hills between now and the year 2020. In order to ensure that this need can be met, Arden Hills’ has allocated several land use classifications on the Future Land Use Map with development standards that are meant to accommodate affordable housing. On the TCAAP redevelopment site, the Town Center and Neighborhood Transition classifications allow for a range of densities and lot sizes to facilitate affordable housing development. Additionally, certain Zoning Districts within the Neighborhood Residential land use classification could also support affordable housing on TCAAP. In the remainder of Arden Hills, the City expects the majority of new affordable housing units to be constructed in areas designated as Medium Density Residential, or High Density Residential, and Mixed Residential on the Future Land Use Map. to accommodate affordable housing. The City would not seek to concentrate affordable housing in any particular area. In addition to ensuring that there is sufficient land designated that has the potential to provide affordable housing, the City of Arden Hills is committed to continuing its participation in the Metropolitan Livable Community Program. As a participant, the City of Arden Hills continues to be eligible to compete for grant funding provided by the Livable Communities Act (LCA) to assist with clean-up operations for polluted land for redevelopment, creating development or redevelopment opportunities that demonstrate efficient use of land and infrastructure through connected development patterns, and opportunities to create more affordable housing. 7.4.3 Housing Quality Except for the TCAAP property, much of Arden Hills is considered developed. As was pointed out earlier, the age of 70 percent of the current housing stock makes ongoing maintenance a community concern. If Arden Hills’ existing neighborhoods are going to remain attractive places to live, owners will need to continue maintenance and reinvestment efforts. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-10 Encouraging housing maintenance can be done in two ways, either through voluntary efforts or through regulatory requirements. Many communities rely on both. Ideally, all residents will maintain their property in a sound and attractive manner. Realistically, however, a small percentage of properties will not be adequately maintained and in such cases, they can have a significant negative impact on surrounding properties and even the neighborhood as a whole. Arden Hills relies primarily on individual owners to maintain property. The City has nuisance provisions in its local code, it enforces the Minnesota State Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code was adopted in 2007. As was noted in the housing policies, the City stands ready to consider the adoption of a rental regulations should it become necessary. Additionally, Arden Hills will continue to work with programs offered by county, regional, state and federal agencies as appropriate. Such programs are more limited than they were in the past due to changes in priorities and reductions in funding. 7.5 FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES While Arden Hills does have a limited number of smaller, infill vacant parcels south of Highway 96, future housing opportunities will largely come from the development of the TCAAP site. TCAAP offers an unparalleled opportunity to create a mix of housing integrated with employment, entertainment, recreation and transit service. The flexibility included in the design and development regulations for the site will help the community address its goals of housing diversity and housing affordability. A definitive plan for TCAAP is not part of this comprehensive plan update but will be addressed in a subsequent amendment. As it is currently envisioned, The TCAAP site will include approximately 350 427 acres of gross development area. Although not yet approved, the concept plan in 2007 Of this total, included 168approximately 151 acres of land has been designated specifically for residential development. Residential areas are divided between several zoning districts with varying gross density requirements. A range of different housing types will be accommodated, including single-family detached homes, twin homes, townhomes, manor homes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing. The City expects that up to 1,431 housing units will be constructed on the site at the time of full development.and a potential for 1,750 housing units. This development area has the potential to accommodate single-family housing on a range of lot sizes, manor homes, townhomes, apartments, condominiums and senior housing. The remaining developable land on the TCAAP site may accommodate retail uses, offices, a hotel, a variety of civic uses, parks, and other open spaces. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 7-11 The residential component of the TCAAP site will offer a future mix of housing that will compliment Arden Hills’ current supply of predominately single-family detached housing. It will provide opportunities to address the changing needs of the local population and it will attract new people to the community. Combined with the City’s efforts to maintain the current supply of housing, the development of the TCAAP site will continue Arden Hills’ position in the marketplace as a highly desirable place to live. 7.6 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In order to advance the policies and ideas identified in this chapter, the following implementation strategies could be used: o Review City codes to consider and encourage a range of housing opportunities and innovative site design. o Pursue grants or other opportunities that promote the construction of affordable housing. o Explore the adoption of rental regulations to ensure the functionality and maintenance of rental properties. o Explore the adoption of an administrative fine program to deter ongoing nuisance and property maintenance issues. o Promote the use of high quality materials in new housing construction to minimize long-term deterioration of the housing stock. o Ensure safety, livability and durability of the housing stock through enforcement of the Minnesota State Building Code, which includes educating property owners and residents on housing and property maintenance codes. o Develop regulations that prohibit the construction of housing that is not compatible with the scale of the existing neighborhood. o Develop standards for protecting lakes, wetlands, trees, and other open spaces during redevelopments and infill projects. o Establish architectural/design guidelines for new developments and redevelopments. o Identify programs, policies, and strategies that encourage aging in place for senior citizens. The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s housing goal and policies. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-1 9. PARKS AND RECREATION  Within this chapter the sections relating to the TCAAP property have been updated as of July 13, 2015, to reflect the proposed development and the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. Sections not directly related to the TCAAP property have not been updated. Goal: Create a comprehensive, maintained, and interconnected system of parks, pathways, and open spaces as well as a balanced program of recreational activities for residents of all ages, incomes, and abilities. To achieve this parks and recreation goal, the following policies are proposed: o Develop, maintain, and encourage the use of a system of neighborhood parks and pathways that are safe and engaging, which includes:  Developing, maintaining, and encouraging the use of north-south and east-west arterial pathways that connect neighborhood paths within the City and to regional paths.  Connecting neighborhoods, parks, and other destination points through a City-wide pathway system.  Strengthening the park and path system by making improvements as feasible through the annual budgeting and CIP process. o Provide recreation programs and activities that address the interests of all segments of the community, including children, adolescents, adults, families, and seniors. o Encourage non-motorized transportation and commuting in and outside of Arden Hills to reduce reliance on motor vehicles and increase physical activity. o Work to connect the pathway system to transit facilities. o Protect and maintain access to lakes, marshes, and wooded areas for active and passive recreation. o Plan for parks, paths, and recreation on the TCAAP property that addresses the interests of Arden Hills’ residents. o Explore financing and funding options to improve and expand the City’s parks and recreation system. o Promote the removal of invasive species throughout the park and recreational system. o Construct way-finding signage for parks and paths. o Explore options for collaboration with other governmental, educational, and private entities to provide an array of high-quality recreational programs. o Work and coordinate with Ramsey County, the Metropolitan Council, the school districts and other applicable organizations to enhance the park, pathway, and recreation system. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-2 9.1 PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE PLAN The City recognizes that demographic, recreation, and environmental trends will impact park, recreation, trail, and open space user needs. To prepare for future needs, the City of Arden Hills completed the Parks, Trails, and Open Space (PTOS) Plan in 2002. The PTOS Plan analyzed the City’s current parks and recreation system facilities and developed a long-term vision for the City’s parks and recreation system. In order to realize the City’s vision, the PTOS Plan recommended improvements to increase efficiency and achieve the long-term parks and recreation vision and priorities for the City. The vision and goals in the 2002 PTOS Plan were updated by the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee and adopted by the City Council in 2006. Progress has been made on implementing the 2002 PTOS Plan. Since the PTOS Plan was intended to guide programs, improvements, and decision-making through 2020, this chapter largely reflects the content in the PTOS Plan and the 2006 update to the PTOS plan. As part of the 2002 PTOS planning process, the City identified long-term trends to help determine future park, trail, and recreation needs. Recreation interests and participation are influenced by a number of factors, including, age, access to facilities, income, available leisure time, interest in the environment, new recreation technology, and social trends. In general, people are looking for quality recreation that is close to home, but they are willing to travel to obtain higher quality or more specialized activities or environments. 9.2 REGIONAL PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM Although the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan focuses on local needs, the community recognizes that Arden Hills is connected to and participates in a larger, regional network of parks, pathways, and open spaces. The Metropolitan Council’s regional park system includes 49 regional parks and park preserves that cover more than 52,000 acres. The regional system also boasts 28 regional trails that span 170 miles. Arden Hills is linked to three regional trails and is home to one regional park (Figure 9.1). The Highway 96 Regional Trail crosses the City from east to west adjacent to Highway 96. The trail is primarily on the south side of the highway; however, it remains incomplete between Highway 10 in Arden Hills and old County Road 8 in the City of New Brighton. The proposed reconstruction of Highway 96 in this vicinity includes completing this trail, which would connect Arden Hills to Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton. Completion of this trail is supported by the City. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-3 The Lexington Parkway Regional Trail spans the entire length of the Shoreview and Arden Hills border on the eastern side of the City. While the trail is complete on the Shoreview side of Lexington Avenue, it is only extends from Tanglewood Ave. to County Road F in Arden Hills. As redevelopment occurs and other opportunities arise, the City does seek to complete the trail to both the north and south on the Arden Hills side of Lexington Avenue. Ramsey County completed the Rice Creek North Regional Trail in the northwestern corner of the City on former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property in 2008. This new trail is an important connection in the metropolitan region’s trail system. The land adjacent to Rice Creek was part of the federally owned TCAAP property; however, approximately 112 acres were transferred to Ramsey County in 2006 for incorporation into the Ramsey County park system. The 2.2 mile, 10 foot wide trail is open to walkers and bikers. The approved master plan for the Rice Creek North Regional Trail indicates this trail continuing west and south to Long Lake Regional Park. Reconstruction of I-35W at County Road H will provide for the completion of this trail connection, which will provide another link between Arden Hills and Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton. In 2006, Ramsey County acquired 113 acres of land within the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property for the Rice Creek North Regional Tail Corridor. The new trail corridor is located in the northwestern corner of the TCAAP site adjacent to Rice Creek and Interstate 35W. This land was transferred to the County by the National Park Service as part of the Federal Lands to Parks Program. An amendment to the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor Master Plan in 2003, identified an additional 49 acres to the east of the existing area to be acquired as a wildlife corridor. Following the County’s purchase of 427 acres of the TCAAP site for redevelopment, a subsequent amendment was made to the Master Plan identifying 60 additional acres for the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor. This area generally extends from Highway 96 to County Road I and would facilitate a trailhead entry, additional trails, and a 150 foot wide trail corridor along the eastern side of the TCAAP development. Designated a regional park in 2006, the 217 acre Tony Schmidt Regional Park extends from the northern shore of Lake Johanna to the west side of Mounds View High School on Lake Valentine Road. Perry Park, a City of Arden Hills park, divides Tony Schmidt Park; however, a railroad underpass completed in 2006 provides a trail connection across Charles Perry Park to the two sections of Tony Schmidt Park. While much of the park is open space, the park offers a variety of amenities and is connected to local paths. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-4 There are a number of regional parks within a short distance of Arden Hills. Long Lake Regional Park is located in New Brighton, and the Snail Lake Regional Park is in Shoreview. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Preserve is in Shoreview, Circle Pines, and Lino Lakes. 9.3 ARDEN HILLS PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM Arden Hills has 15 City parks ranging in size from one acre to 28 acres and other open areas that cover more than 145 acres (Figure 9.2 and Table 9.1). There is also approximately 11 miles of paths, which are primarily located on or adjacent to County roads. The surface of these paths varies between asphalt, concrete, gravel, wood chip mulch, and grass. The parks in Arden Hills provide a variety of amenities ranging from tennis courts and playgrounds to baseball diamonds and picnic shelters (Table 9.1). The City parks are well-distributed throughout Arden Hills south of Highways 96 and 10 and most residents are within one mile of a City park; however, controlled access roads interfere with convenient access to some parks that would otherwise be close by. South of Highways 96 and 10, there are four lakes entirely within Arden Hills and one lake shared by Arden Hills and Roseville. Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine have public access and beaches, though the public access and beach for Lake Josephine is in Roseville. Lake Valentine is a relatively shallow lake adjacent to Bethel University with some limited public use and access. Karth Lake, which is located southwest of the Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue intersection, is adjacent to a public park but is primarily used for non-motorized recreation by the surrounding property owners. Round Lake is unusable for recreation purposes due to contamination from the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. The entire shoreline of Round Lake is owned by the federal government, and there is no public access. The City has approved the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) to guide development on 427 acres purchased by Ramsey County of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant site. Four City parks will be developed are planned to serve the new population on TCAAP and to complement the City’s existing park and recreation amenities. Trails will be constructed throughout the development to serve the site and to provide access to adjacent park and open space areas.

The improvement recommendations are intended to improve public safety, aesthetics, function, and efficiency of individual parks as well as to promote overall public health and activity. The City also seeks to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. In order to minimize park disruption, reduce costs through efficiency of construction, and improve park function, park renovation is recommended to be done all at once in each park, whenever possible. Individual park renovation recommendations are summarized below by park: o Arden Manor Park – Provide connections within the park and from the park to the potential future paths along Highway 96 when reconstruction of this highway occurs. Add new shaded benches near park features. Add a park sign at the park entrance. o Arden Oaks Park – Add benches and trash containers near the park features. Add trees and landscaping to provide shade, spatial definition, and to improve aesthetics. o Charles Perry Park – Consider moving the entrance drive to line up with Thom Drive. This will eliminate the conflict that exists with the ice rink where skaters have to cross the entrance drive, and will create space for a pleasure rink. Explore the possibility of paving the existing skating rink for inline skating and half court basketball. Complete the path from the picnic pavilion to the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail in Tony Schmidt Regional Park. Look into the future acquisition of the single family home nearest the park to accommodate future uses (Figure 9.2). o Crepeau Nature Preserve – Add additional unpaved paths within the park. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-8 o Cummings Park – Explore the possibility of adding irrigation to the soccer fields. This will enhance the quality of the fields and allow for additional usage. Add benches along the paths and park amenities. o Floral Park –Additional unpaved looped paths could be constructed in the park to provide more walking and nature watching opportunities. Add benches along the paths and park amenities. o Freeway Park - Consider paving the hockey rink for year-round use. Upgrade existing half basketball court. o Hazelnut Park – Replace the warming house with a new structure and provide a safer access to the rink. Install shaded benches near recreational features. Add lights from parking lot to skating rink. Add a picnic shelter or pavilion to meet the usage demands of the park. o Ingerson Park – Add a connecting path to Lexington Avenue, Fernwood Court, and Lake Lane, utilizing a sewer easement to Fernwood as a path corridor and Lake Lane as a path access point. o Johanna Marsh – Resurface tennis courts, add a park sign, and add benches. o Lindey’s Park – Provide benches. Utilize the Bocce Golf Course for recreation programming. o Round Lake Open Space – Explore the possibility of adding a path connecting Old Highway 10 to the path west of Round Lake by easement or land acquisition. Add a parking lot at Parkshore Drive. Determine what type of amenities/fields meet the needs of the community and develop the park. o Royal Hills – Add a fence along the outfield and sideline of the ball field to minimize balls going into the woods. o Sampson Park – Add landscaping within the park to provide interest and improve aesthetics. Replace the parking lot surface of the basketball court with a colored, bituminous surface. o Valentine Park – Complete drainage study and drainage improvements for the future of the park. Future Improvements are contingent upon the results of the study: Consider reconfiguring parking lot to detach park City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-9 features from the parking lot pavement. Replace the play structure. Add a new warming house/picnic shelter. Move or improve the surface of the half basketball court. 9.4.2 Recreation The City currently has an extensive youth recreation program. While the programs have been primarily focused on youth and adolescent activities, an increased need for teen, adult, and senior activities was identified in the 2002 PTOS Plan as well as the community meetings held for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update. To help inform the recreation program development process, the City may consider creating advisory groups for seniors, teens, children, and other interested groups. 9.4.3 Pathway Expansion and Upgrades A number of neighborhoods in Arden Hills have pathways; however, in order to provide a connected and complete pathway system in Arden Hills, additional arterial and neighborhood paths are needed (Figure 9.2). While paths are popular for recreational purposes, there is also a growing demand for utilitarian pathways that connect residential areas to destinations such as commercial areas, offices, parks, and other popular places. Providing multiple destinations on a pathway system can increase use, promote physical activity, and reduce motorized travel. This Plan includes the following recommendations for pathway expansions and upgrades: City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-10 Table 9.2 - Trail Improvement List Feet Miles A Cleveland Ave. (County Road "D" to Stowe Ave.)2,623 0.50 A.2 Cleveland Ave. (Thom Ct. to existing path off Cty E2)1,672 0.32 B County Road D (Cleveland to New Brighton Road)2,644 0.50 C New Brighton Road (County Rd.

The City has identified certain trail segments that are crucial for developing needed north-south and east-west path connections that are divided by major highways: G, G1, H, I, I1, I2, and I3. In coordination with the capital City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-11 improvements plan (CIP), the City may benefit from setting specific trail priorities to take advantage of grants, road reconstruction projects, and other opportunities as they arise. Segment D and E are planned pathways along County Road E2 and a connection through Ramsey County open space from the nearby neighborhood (Venus Ave.) The City was successful in obtaining a grant for $175,000 for these two segments from the Federal Safe Routes to School Funding Program. The goal of the pathways is to provide a safe route to Valentine Hills Elementary, the Ramsey County Library, and Tony Schmidt Regional Park. County Road E2 is a busy roadway that continues to increase in traffic and is a dangerous route for pedestrians. This project is scheduled to occur in the federal fiscal year 2009. This project is a cooperative effort between the City, Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, School District 621, and Ramsey County Public Works. In conjunction with Ramsey County and MnDOT, grade separated crossings of major roads and railroads is one of the more important actions the City can take to improve the path network, increase safety, enhance access to parks, encourage increased physical activity, and help tie the community together (Figure 9.2). The following connections and improvements for pedestrian and bicyclists (non-motorized users), some of which are noted in the above list, are recommended from the 2002 PTOS Plan and the community meetings: o County Road E over Highway 51 – The existing bridge is very narrow and unsafe for pedestrians or bicyclists. This location is a key connection between the east and west portions of the City. The City will also need to work with Ramsey County and MnDOT to consider options for expanding or reconstructing the bridge to create adequate pedestrian and bike crossings or build a freestanding bike and pedestrian bridge near the vehicle bridge. o Highway 96 – A grade separated trail connection may be needed at a location between Highway 10 and Lexington Avenue. The grade- separated connection would provide access to City Hall, the TCAAP area, and the developed portion of the City south of Highway 96. A trail crossing of Highway 10 could possibly be incorporated into the Highway 96 and 10 intersection when it is rebuilt. o Highway 10 – Between Interstate 694 and the City border along Highway 10, a pathway crossing is needed. Two potential options for a grade separated crossings: An area just south of Royal Hills Park and/or along City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-12 Highway 10 north of Highway 96. A minimum of one grade separated crossing is desired. o Interstate 35W – The City desires a pedestrian and bike bridge over Interstate 35W. A specific location for this crossing needs to be identified. This would be a crucial pathway crossing to connect the TCAAP area with Long Lake Regional Park. o Interstate 694 – A pathway crossing in Arden Hills is needed at Interstate 694. A final location(s) will be selected when Interstate 694 is reconstructed; however, two potential locations include:  Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 – A pathway across Interstate 694 near Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 must be constructed when Interstate 694 is reconstructed.  Lexington Avenue – While there is a pathway on the Shoreview side of the Lexington Avenue bridge, there is not a path on the Arden Hills side of the bridge. When the Interstate 694 reconstruction occurs, a pathway should be provided at this location. o Trail Signage – add small trail identification maps that include distance, name, and standard city identification where needed. Implementing the pathway expansion and improvement plan will require cooperation with Ramsey County, MnDOT, the school districts, and other private and public entities. The City recognizes that the entire network cannot be completed at once; however, the above list represents the long-term goal of a comprehensive pathway network to facilitate recreational and utilitarian uses. 9.4.4 Park and Open Space Acquisitions While there is very little vacant land available in the City outside of the TCAAP property, four locations were identified for potential incorporation into the City’s park and recreational system (Figure 9.2). Two land parcels remain to be acquired within the boundary of Tony Schmidt Regional Park. Additional public lands adjacent to the park are proposed to be used for trails and trail connections under cooperative agreements. o Charles Perry Park – The City should consider acquiring the residential property adjacent to Charles Perry in order to minimize the potential conflict caused by reflected light, noise and trespassing while providing an City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-13 opportunity to expand the recreational offerings in the park and to provide better park access. o Round Lake Park - The open land west of Round Lake Park should be considered for acquisition. This land could provide adequate space for soccer fields, community gardens, ball fields, or other recreational uses. The amount of property to acquire would be determined by what programming needs exist at that time. This seeks to obtain the necessary area by park dedication and acquisition as possible. o Round Lake Trail Easements - The remaining easements are needed to complete the trail around the west and south sides of Round Lake. o Tony Schmidt Regional Park – While Tony Schmidt Regional Park is a Ramsey County park, the City encourages the County to expand its facility in accordance with their facility and land needs. The Tony Schmidt Regional Park Master Plan lists potential land acquisitions, which are shown on Figure 9.2 9.4.5 TCAAP Redevelopment Area Of the 585 acres that are part of the proposed TCAAP redevelopment area, nearly 168 acres are tentatively planned to be used for parks, open spaces, and a wildlife corridor. Approximately 42 acres in the redevelopment area are anticipated to be used for community parks, gathering spaces, and open spaces. The land use design for the TCAAP property will likely include a large central park and a number of small neighborhood parks. The exact layout and use of these parks has not been determined; however, they are likely to be focused on local park and recreation needs. The City will be receiving approximately 49 acres of TCAAP property as a public benefit transfer in order to maintain a wildlife corridor between the AHATS property and Rice Creek. The City will transfer the 49 acres to Ramsey County for incorporation into the Rice Creek North Regional Trail in accordance with the approved Regional Trail Master Plan. Ramsey County purchased 427 acres of the TCAAP property in April 2013. The City has approved the TCAAP Redevelopment Code to regulate zoning and land uses. Approximately 24 acres are planned to be used for City parks and public open space. along a pedestrian corridor. Ramsey County is acquiring an City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-14 additional 30 acres from the federal government for a north-south trail and 78 acres for a future wildlife corridor and trailhead. Four City parks will be located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Amenities will be planned for each park based on the population served and to complement existing amenities in the developed portion of the City. The timing of park development will be aligned to the development of adjacent neighborhoods. In order to provide flexibility the exact boundary and location of each park include on the TCAAP property may move within its given district. However, each park will be required to include the identified amenities within the City’s TCAAP Master Parks and Open Space Plan. Green space will be provided along a pedestrian corridor linking the primary retail area west of the Spine Road to a City park on the eastern edge of the site. Trails will be provided along the Spine Road and along a collector road adjacent to the natural resources corridor. In cases where private development is immediately adjacent to park and open space areas, the TCAAP Redevelopment Code requires frequent pedestrian connections to open space. Connections to the north-south trail corridor and trails in the wildlife corridor will be provided from adjacent neighborhoods. Ramsey County has prepared and the City has approved the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Wildlife Corridor Habitat Restoration plan. Improvements, remediation, restoration and other development of the wildlife corridor property, prior to and following transfer to Ramsey County, will be guided by this plan. Trail connections for public use may be incorporated into the wildlife corridor. However, they must be designed and aligned so as not to impede the movement of wildlife. Finally, in the northeast corner of the redevelopment area, 76.5 acres have been designated for an undetermined public use. This area is likely to include some type of regional athletic use, though an exact use has not been determined. Because this area is separated from the rest of the TCAAP redevelopment area by the wildlife corridor to the south and National Guard property to the north, access to this public area has yet to be determined. Access may be provided for vehicles from County Road I and by pedestrian/bike paths through the wildlife corridor. How this property will be accessed has not been determined but will need to be addressed. 9.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 9.5.1 Priority Setting City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-15 One tool to advance this chapter is to create a flexible priority list for improvements and expansions. With the priorities laid out, the City would be able better able to assess fund balances and make informed spending decisions and coordinate improvements with other projects such as road improvements. The priority list will need to be regularly evaluated to measure progress and to adjust the list to accommodate funding availability, changing circumstances, and changing priorities. A fully functioning and complete park and pathway system adds to the attractiveness of the City and to the values of property owners. While a long-term priority list will help the City in the decision making process and help plan for future expenses, the list must be flexible. As new local and regional projects, needs, and opportunities arise, it may be necessary to adjust the list to take advantage of opportunities that may not yet be known. 9.5.2 Partnerships Developing partnerships with other public and private organizations is an important tool for implementing this and other chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. With scarce resources and increasing demands, searching for partnerships to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and expand services is necessary. Working with adjacent cities, the Metropolitan Council, Ramsey County, businesses, school districts, higher education institutions, and other stakeholders may lead to better and more efficient implementation of this Chapter. MNDOT & Ramsey County Transportation – Coordinating with MnDOT and Ramsey County Public Works will help ensure that pathway additions and crossings are in their transportation master plans, included in reconstruction projects, and are a priority for funding and implementation in their capital improvement plans (CIP). Ramsey County Parks and Recreation – With regional facilities in Arden Hills and connecting to City pathways, it is important to coordinate with the County. The County is working to implement the Tony Schmidt Master Plan, the Rice Creek trail system, and other regional park and trail projects that connect to or impact Arden Hills. Mounds View and Roseville School Districts – The City has an opportunity to work with the school districts and the two facilities in Arden Hills to increase pedestrian and bike access to the schools, promote safe routes to school, and increase physical activity. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 9-16 Bethel University and Northwestern College – Both of these campuses have trails that can be accessed by the public. The City should consider working with these institutions to ensure continued access to these trails and to make connections with City trails. Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Redevelopment Partner and the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) – The proposed redevelopment on the TCAAP property offers an opportunity to greatly expand the City’s park and pathway network. The City seeks to continue working with the developers, AHATS, and private entities to ensure a park and pathway system is constructed that meets the needs of current and future residents. Although the AHATS property is not freely open to the public, it could play a role in future park and recreation opportunities. 9.5.3 Financing While the City supports the park and recreation system, it is recognized that other needs in the City compete for funds and funding will continue to be a challenge. In order to implement the parks and recreation plan, yearly priorities could be identified in the City’s capital improvement plan (CIP), which can be adjusted annually as funding, opportunities, and needs change. Flexibility in implementation will be necessary. Since much of the City is developed, park and recreation expansion improvements cannot rely on park dedication fees alone. Therefore, the City may need to explore other financing options. Pursuing funding opportunities may help advance implementation of this plan at a faster rate than would otherwise be able to occur. 9.5.4 Additional Strategies The strategies in the previous sections should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s parks and recreation goal and policies.

To achieve this transportation goal, the following policies are proposed: o Approach transportation in a comprehensive manner by giving attention to all travel modes and related facilities, linking transit and land use and by combining or concentrating various land use activities to reduce the need for transportation facilities. o Coordinate transportation plans with adjacent communities and the County, State, and Federal governments to assure system continuity, determine priorities, increase safety, and to efficiently use resources and reduce congestion. o Create/provide a safe, cost effective, and efficient transportation system that is adequate for car, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and truck transportation for the movement of people and goods and services in the community. o Encourage transportation methods that are less dependent on motor vehicles such as walking, biking, and transit. o Maintain the existing transportation infrastructure to protect the existing investments, increase efficiency, and delay the need for improvement or expansion. Where necessary, expand the City’s transportation system to meet current and future transportation needs. o Continue to work with the County and State elected and appointed officials to include County road reconstruction projects to address needed reconstruction and potential trails along the roadways when improved. o Work with developers to construct needed improvements prior to development. o Work to manage traffic in residential neighborhoods to not overburden any particular City street. 11.1 INTRODUCTION The transportation system in the City of Arden Hills is largely established, made up of metropolitan freeways and highways, County roads, and City streets. Except for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, the City’s transportation system is not likely to see major changes in the next 10 to 20 years. The fact that the network is established, however, does not diminish the importance of continually monitoring the system to ensure City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-2 that it performs adequately. As such, whether an existing roadway is proposed for upgrading or a land use change is proposed on a property, this Plan provides the framework for decisions regarding the nature of roadway infrastructure improvements necessary to achieve safety, adequate access, mobility, and performance of the existing and future roadway system. This chapter includes established local goals, policies, standards, and guidelines to implement a future roadway network and transit vision that is coordinated with respect to county, regional, and state plans in such a way that the transportation system enhances quality economic and residential development within the City of Arden Hills. This chapter also includes two appendices. Appendix B describes the general transportation system principles and standards, including functional classification, roadway capacity by type, access management guidelines, geometric design standards, and roadway jurisdiction. Appendix C includes the full transportation forecast and traffic modeling methodology. 11.2 EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM EVALUATION The transportation system in Arden Hills includes a roadway system that accommodates a variety of vehicles including cars, trucks, and public transit. Transportation also includes pedestrian movement and bicycles, which is also discussed in Chapter 9 (Parks & Recreation) of this Plan. While upgrades will need to be made over time, existing City controlled roads provide sufficient transportation service to the City. 11.2.1 Existing Traffic Volumes and Capacity Issues The existing traffic volumes within the area, which were collected by Mn/DOT, Ramsey County, and the City of Arden Hills, are represented in Figure 11.1 – 2005 and 2006 Average Daily Traffic Volumes. Volume to capacity analysis of the average daily traffic volumes indicates several roadway segments within the City of Arden Hills are currently operating at a periodically congested, near congested, or congested level (Figure 11.2). Additional data regarding segment design type and capacity is available within Appendix B. Based on available traffic volume data, the following roadways are classified into the following groups: Level of Service C – Periodically Congested • TH 10 from I-35W to I-694 • TH 51, South of CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue • CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue from CSAH 96 to I-694 • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue from CR I to CSAH 96 • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue, South of CR F City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-3 • CSAH 96, East of CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue • CSAH 96 from I-35W to TH 10 • CR D, CSAH 149/Lake Johanna Boulevard to CSAH 46/Cleveland Avenue • CR E, TH 51 to CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue • CR I from I-35W to Snelling Avenue Level of Service D & E – Near Congested • I-35W, North of TH 10/CSAH 10 • I-35W from TH 88 to CR D • TH 51 from I-694 to CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue • CR D from CSAH 46/Cleveland Avenue to I-35W Level of Service F – Congested • I-35W from TH 10 to TH 88 • I-35W, South of CR D • I-694 from Western City Limits to Eastern City Limits Capacity improvements are recommended on any roadway with a future level of service of D, E, or F, as defined in the roadway capacity discussion within the Transportation System Principals and Standards section. Roadways identified above as near congested or congested are recommended to be monitored and programmed for capacity improvements when necessary. Roadways that are periodically congested are generally identified as providing an acceptable level of service. 11.2.2 Safety and Mobility Congestion analysis shows I-35W and I-694 as the roadways with significant congestion. The rest of the existing transportation system throughout Arden Hills is primarily periodically congested, with areas that are near congested. Of primary concern to the City of Arden Hills is the congestion on TH 51/Hamline Avenue, south of I-694 and the county roadways at the interchanges with I-35W. This indicates that the congestion on I-35W is impacting the county roadways that have access to it. As I-35W becomes more congested, more traffic will likely use TH 51 or other adjacent minor arterials as an alternate route, which may also become congested. A planning-level analysis of the existing transportation system in Arden Hills was completed and included evaluating crash records for accident trends, the types of accidents most commonly occurring, and where accident trends may exist. In City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-4 the five-year time period from January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2006, there were 2,305 crashes on the roadways within or adjacent to the City of Arden Hills. The locations with high crash rates are primarily on the county and state highway intersections (Figure 11.3). Locations with the highest crash frequency are on I-694 with TH 51, and I-694 with I-35W. Additionally, there are high crash rates along I-35W and I-694 at every interchange location. Other locations off the freeway with high crash frequency are the intersections of TH 10 with CSAH 96, CSAH 96 with Hamline Avenue (CSAH 50), CSAH 96 with Lexington Avenue (CSAH 51), Lexington Avenue (CSAH 51) with Grey Fox Road, and Hamline Avenue (CSAH 50) with CR F (CSAH 12). Of the 2,305 crashes, 170 included injuries, 405 had possible injuries, and 1730 involved property damage only. Rear end crashes represented 48 percent of the crashes, and 8 percent were right angle crashes. 11.2.3 Jurisdictional Issues There are no planned jurisdictional transfers planned between Arden Hills and Ramsey County. The City desires active participation in any jurisdictional discussion. 11.2.4 Relevant Transportation Studies A number of studies have been completed or are in the process of being completed to provide direction relative to the development of the City of Arden Hills’ transportation system. Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Alternative Urban Areawide Review: An Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) and Mitigation Plan was approved for the TCAAP site in 2014, including "Minimum" and "Maximum" development scenarios. A separate traffic study was conducted as part of the preparation of the AUAR. This included a more comprehensive summary of the analysis results than what was provided in the AUAR. To determine the impacts on the local roadway network, a traffic operations analysis was conducted for intersections within the vicinity of the TCAAP site for various development scenarios, and mitigation measures were identified based on the results. In addition to Existing and 2030 No Build Scenarios, the future development scenarios for TCAAP included a Year 2030 Minimum Development Scenario and a Year 2030 Maximum Development Scenario. The minimum development City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-5 scenario was based on the City’s existing zoning requirements for the site, which provided a constrained analysis. A Maximum Development Scenario for 2030 was also analyzed to evaluate a land use mix that maximized the acceptable use of available and potential infrastructure, seeking a balance of financial feasibility, while maintaining community livability and sustainability. Due to increases in background traffic and the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, transportation network changes are anticipated to occur in the future. Several long term improvements are being considered in and around the project study area. Improvements at the Interstate 35W interchanges with Highway 96, County Road H, and County Road I (expected to be completed in 2015 and 2016) will influence trip distribution for the TCAAP redevelopment project. The City is currently developing an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment. The AUAR encompasses the 585 acres of the TCAAP property that is proposed to be redeveloped as a mix of residential and commercial property. Preliminary traffic issues include analyzing CSAH 96 and TH 10, as the development would directly impact those roadways. As the property is redeveloped, a connection from CSAH 96 to CR H through the TCAAP property may be designated as a new County collector. Highway 96 and Highway 10 Intersection: A new interchange concept is being developed just to the north of CSAH 96 on TH 10, which would replace the current at-grade intersection of TH 10/CSAH 96. A series of road design concepts were developed in 2007. Further analysis will be completed in the future to analyze the interchange design. This interchange would eliminate the current at-grade intersection, which would improve safety and mobility for the TH 10 and CSAH 96 corridors. Guiding Plan for the B2 District A guiding plan study was underway at the time this Comprehensive Plan was written that included an analysis of the safety and mobility of vehicle and non- motorized traffic on CR E from TH 51 to Lexington Avenue and the intersection of CR E/Lexington Avenue. 11.2.5 Multimodal Transportation Opportunities City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-6 It is recognized that various methods of travel impact the economic vitality of a city, county, or broader region. In addition to the traditional road system, multimodal transportation includes transit, aviation, railway, and paths. Transit Service The City of Arden Hills is currently located within the Market III Transit System Service Area. This area includes communities with a land use pattern of generally lower concentrations with intermittent pockets of moderate concentrations, which receive highest service levels. The current service options are peak-only express busses, midday circulators, special needs paratransit (ADA, seniors), and ridesharing. Service characteristics include peak-period-only express busses, one-to-two hour midday frequencies, dial-a-ride advance registration, service spans of 10-14 hours per day on weekdays and limited weekends, and access primarily tied to park-and ride lots and hubs. Figure 11.4 – Existing and Planned Transit Routes and Passenger Facilities displays the current services available, including route and park and ride locations in and around the City of Arden Hills. An existing park and ride lot is located between I-35W and CSAH 10, on CR H in Arden Hills. Regular route service in the City as currently provided is described below: o Route 225, 227 is a local bus route operated by Metro Transit. This route provides connectivity to Rosedale Commons in the City of Roseville, and serves Shoreview, Arden Hills, and Roseville. Schedules vary from 30 to 60 minutes between trips, depending on the day. o Route 250 is an express bus route operated by Metro Transit. The route provides connectivity to downtown Minneapolis from Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Lexington, Blaine, Shoreview, and Mounds View, primarily along I-35W, I-694, and I-94. Arden Hills’ residents can access the route from the park and ride lot in Mounds View along CR H, just west of I-35W. Schedules with stops at the park and ride lot vary from 25 to 30 minutes between trips during the peak hours. It has six trips each peak hour during the weekdays only. o Route 261 is a local bus route operated by Metro Transit. It connects up with express Route 260 to connect with downtown Minneapolis. The route provides connectivity between Shoreview, Roseville, and Minneapolis, along with Arden Hills, along Lexington Avenue. The schedule along Lexington Avenue varies from 10 to 30 minutes with five total trips during the peak hours during the weekdays only. o Route 860 is an express bus route operated by Metro Transit. This route provides connectivity to downtown St. Paul from Coon Rapids, City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-7 Blaine, and Mounds View. Arden Hills’ residents can access the route from the park and ride lot in Mounds View along CR H, just west of I- 35W. Schedules vary from 15 to 30 minutes between trips during the peak hours. It has five trips each peak hour during the weekdays only. Aviation Plans/Facilities There are no existing or planned aviation facilities within Arden Hills, but the Anoka County/Blaine Airport is located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the City of Arden Hills, west of I-35W and north of TH 10. Railway There is one railway line and a few rail spurs within the City of Arden Hills. The rail line is active and operated by the Canadian Pacific Rail System (CPR) with an average of four trains per day using the line. It runs east-west through the southern portion of Arden Hills, north of County Road E with a speed threshold of 40 mph. The line includes a spur into the Red Fox/Grey Fox business area. There are two rail spurs that are operated by the Minnesota Commercial Railway (MNNR). Both spurs have been or will be abandoned. One spur accessed the Gateway Business District, while the other spur accessed the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site. Ramsey County has Regional Rail Authority, which reviews, recommends, proposes, and buys abandoned rail lines for future Light Rail Transit (LRT) corridors. It has identified a transitway corridor through the northeast metropolitan area. The Northeast Diagonal transitway corridor follows the partially abandoned and existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks from northeast Minneapolis through St. Anthony, Roseville, Shoreview, Little Canada, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake, White Bear Township, and ending in White Bear Lake. The potential route does not directly impact Arden Hills. Pathways The City includes a number of pedestrian and bike pathways that are an integral part to the City’s transportation system. The existing system is more fully described in Chapter 9. 11.3 FUTURE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-8 Except for the future roads on the TCAAP property, the transportation system within Arden Hills is generally considered developed, and improvements are anticipated as reconstruction of aging infrastructure is pursued. As reconstruction occurs, it will be important for the City to improve the roadway system and non-motorized travel opportunities consistent with the recommended Transportation System Principles and Standards in this Chapter and the pathways recommendations in Chapter 9 to the extent possible. 11.3.1 Forecasted Traffic Volumes & Capacity Needs In the City of Arden Hills, the major roadways carrying traffic are county and state roadways, ranging from arterials to collectors. The City roadways are primarily local city streets that only carry local traffic. Generally, the roadways in Arden Hills serve areas that are fully developed, and the land use patterns in Arden Hills are not expected to significantly change, except on the TCAAP property. However, an increase in traffic on these corridors is expected due to the future growth in the northern part of the City and the future growth in adjacent communities. The existing pattern of rights-of-way and development setbacks present challenges for significantly improving the existing level of service on some roadways through roadway capacity improvements. The forecasted 2030 average annual daily traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 11.5 – 2030 Forecasted Average Daily Traffic Volumes and also in Appendix C. The only project in the State and County transportation improvement programs that directly impacts Arden Hills is the proposed reconstruction of the CSAH 96 and TH 10 intersection in 2011. This project proposes to reconstruct this intersection into a grade separate intersection. The reconstruction of the Interstate 35W interchanges at County Road 96, County Road I, and County Road H are included in the State and County transportation improvement programs. These projects are critical to support development intensities on TCAAP and are expected to be complete in 2015 and 2016. In 2008, the proposed expansion of I-694 between I-35E and I-35W from four to six lanes was removed from the State transportation improvement program. This project had been listed as part of the 2012 transportation improvement program. This City supports keeping this project in the State’s transportation improvement program. Deferred from Ramsey County Five-Year Transportation Improvement Program City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-9 (TIP): County Road D from Cleveland Avenue to Fairview Avenue – Reconstruction. The forecasted average annual daily travel demands approach or exceed daily capacities on several corridors. Based on 2030 traffic projections, the following roadways are anticipated to be periodically congested, near congested, or congested (Figure 11.6): Level of Service C – Periodically Congested • TH 10 from CSAH 96 to I-694 • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue from CSAH 96 to CR F • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue, North of Tanglewood Drive • CSAH 96, East of TH 10 • CR E from TH 51 to CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue • CR E from CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue to CR 99 • CR E2 from CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue to I-35W • CR I from I-35W to CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue Level of Service D & E – Near Congested • I-694 from I-35W to TH 10 • TH 10 from CSAH 96 to I-35W • TH 51 from I-694 to CR E • TH 51, South of CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue • CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue from CSAH 96 to I-694 • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue from Tanglewood Drive to CSAH 96 • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue, South of CR F • CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue from CR E2 to CR E • CSAH 96 from I-35W to TH 10 • CR D from I-35W to CSAH 149/Lake Johanna Boulevard • CR E from TH 51 to CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue • CR F from CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue to CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue Level of Service F – Congested • I-35W from Northern City Limits to Southern City Limits • I-694, East of TH 10 and West of I-35W • TH 51 from CR E to CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue from Tanglewood Drive to CSAH 96 City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-10 As a component of the TCAAP AUAR, an analysis of intersection level of service was conducted on future conditions for the Minimum and Maximum scenarios. With the mitigation measures identified in the traffic analysis, all intersections operate at an acceptable LOS of D or higher. Generally, the recommended Geometric Design Standards and associated right- of-way width requirements illustrated in the Geometric Design Standards should maintain the corridor’s capacity to accommodate the forecasted traffic volumes on the City’s roadways (Appendix B). Capacity improvements are recommended on any roadway with a future level of service of D, E, or F, as defined in the roadway capacity discussion within the Transportation System Principals and Standards (Appendix B). Roadways identified above as near congested or congested are recommended to be monitored and programmed for capacity improvements when necessary. Roadways that are periodically congested are generally identified as providing an acceptable level of service. 11.3.2 Roadway Safety & Mobility Needs Many of the roadways within and adjacent to the City of Arden Hills are in need of capacity improvements by 2030 due to the anticipated growth throughout the area. This is due not only to growth within the City of Arden Hills but also growth within adjacent cities and other cities along the freeway and highway corridors. With this increase in development and increase in traffic, an increase in congestion is expected for most roadways throughout Arden Hills. Improvements are recommended for Hamline Avenue, Lexington Avenue, Old Highway 10, and the interstate freeways. The expansion and reconstruction of I-694 will improve operations, especially from I-35W to TH 10, even with the increased traffic expected by 2030. The other areas of I-694 will likely be congested as much as they are today by 2030. Since the primary roadways providing significant mobility within the City of Arden Hills are county and state roadways, the City will need to coordinate with the State and County on roadway improvements. Collector roadways carrying greater than 1,500 vehicles per day have volumes that tend to create potential conflicts between vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The City, in cooperation with Ramsey County, will need to monitor pedestrian and bicycle issues, crashes, near misses, and complaints, and prioritize roadway improvements with pavement rehabilitation needs. Strategies to improve safety and mobility will be considered, including the consideration of adding pedestrian facilities at intersections, non-motorized facilities both along and separate from roadways, additional roadway width for wider lanes or City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-11 shoulders, or when possible, turn lanes to City collector roadways intersecting with County roadways. To accommodate necessary turn lanes or roadway widening, additional right-of-way may be required at the intersection. As reconstruction of aging infrastructure is pursued on City collector streets the recommended geometric design standards will assist in improving safety and mobility (Appendix B). Additionally, as traffic volumes approaching an intersection increase, an intersection control evaluation may be necessary. Triggers for an evaluation may include an increase in correctable crashes or an unacceptable traffic back up. Higher volume roadways that could show traffic signal benefits are under the jurisdiction of the County. As the jurisdictional authority, the County would make decisions on appropriate traffic control. The intersection control evaluation would identify the traffic control option (e.g. all way stop, roundabout, possible signalization) and capacity improvements (e.g. turn lanes) necessary to accommodate the traffic volumes in a safe and efficient manner. Future reconstruction may require modifications of existing access to include strategies such as access consolidation, right–in, right–out access only, or the development of a frontage road to improve the safety and mobility of the corridor. Additional right-of-way should be acquired for future improvements as properties in the area develop or redevelop. The high crash locations along I-694 at I-35W, TH 10, and TH 51 should be partially rectified by the proposed improvements on I-694 through the area. This improvement includes additional lanes, and the improvement of the TH 51 ramp access to eastbound I-694, one of the highest crash locations in the Arden Hills area. Further improvements should be studied with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Ramsey County at the interchange ramps and intersections. The current proposed interchange on TH 10 should improve the operations along TH 10 and also CSAH 96 near TH 10. This interchange would enable a separation of the traffic on each corridor, improving operations to both. 11.3.3 Functional Classification Needs Due to the developed nature of the City of Arden Hills, together with the community’s pattern of water features and freeway facilities, there are minimal opportunities to expand the local roadway system in the developed areas of the City and develop additional continuous routes through the City. As redevelopment occurs on the TCAAP property, the local roadway system will be expanded to serve this area of the City. The internal roadway system for City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-12 TCAAP will consist of a north/south B-Minor arterial (referred to as the Spine Road) in addition to a network of local streets. The Spine Road will be consistent with County State Aid Standards (CSAH) for intersection spacing which is 1/4 mile minimum spacing for full access intersections and 1/8 minimum spacing for right-in/right-out accesses. The minor streets will primarily provide access to residences and private businesses. These local roads will be constructed on the property as future development occurs. The area with the most opportunity for new roadways is the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property. As the TCAAP area is developed, there is an opportunity to provide effective routes for traffic, including the proposed county collector from CSAH 96 to CR H. This will be needed as the TCAAP property produces more trips throughout the area. Other roadway continuity improvements in Arden Hills are not anticipated. The City will review redevelopment plans with the option to consider opportunities to improve continuity or improve/consolidate accesses. The City of Arden Hills does not support an additional road connection over Interstate 35W between Interstate 694 and CSAH 96 due to the likely traffic impact on Round Lake Road. 11.3.4 Multimodal Transportation Opportunities It is important for the community to plan for the ability to accommodate multimodal activities (i.e. transit, pedestrian, and bicycle) on non-local roadways to provide other opportunities to move about the City and beyond. Transit Service While significant changes to existing transit opportunities in Arden Hills are not planned by the Metropolitan Council, the City recognizes the growing need for transit services in Arden Hills, and the City supports exploring additional transit options. With increasing fuel costs, worsening congestion, and an aging population, the demand for transit will increase. The City will continue to be supportive of the park-and-ride lots used by Arden Hills’ residents, such as the lots on County Road H in Mounds View and at Rosedale in Roseville. The City will evaluate the need for future park-n-ride opportunities along with redevelopment proposals where feasible. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-13 The City supports efforts to add or expand transit options to Northwestern College, Bethel University, Mounds View High School, and employers, such as Boston Scientific, Land O’ Lakes, and the businesses along Round Lake Road and Gateway Boulevard. The Metropolitan Council is considering the feasibility of extending the A-line BRT route to TCAAP. The TCAAP redevelopment will be designed to be transit-ready with bus shelters along the new county roadway facility if Metro Transit decides to provide transit services to the site.Bus or other transit service to the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site will also likely be needed when it is redeveloped. As the City’s population ages, the City will continue to work with Metro Transit and senior community services to ensure needs are being met. Para-transit, which is provided by Metro Mobility, is also an important resource for members of the community, particularly the disabled and seniors. Aviation Plans/Facilities Although there are not any aviation facilities within Arden Hills, standards for airspace protection are required to maintain a clear path for helicopters and for aviation related facilities. Federal Regulation Title 14, Part 77 establishes standards and notification requirements for objects affecting navigable airspace. This notification serves as the basis for evaluating the effect of the construction or alteration on operating procedures, determining the potential hazardous effect of the proposed construction on air navigation, identifying mitigation measures to enhance safe air navigation, and charting of new objects. Notification allows the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to identify potential aeronautical hazards in advance, thus preventing or minimizing the adverse impacts to the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace. Title 14, Part 77.13 requires any person/organization who intends to sponsor any of the following construction or alterations to notify the Administrator of the FAA when: o Any construction or alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level; o Any construction or alteration: • Within 20,000 feet of a public use or military airport which exceeds a 100:1 surface from any point on the runway of each airport with at least one runway more than 3,200 feet • Within 10,000 feet of a public use or military airport which exceeds 50:1 surface from any point on the runway of each airport with its longest runway no more than 3,200 feet City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-14 • Within 5,000 feet of a public use heliport which exceeds a 25:1 surface; o Any highway, railroad or other traverse way whose prescribed adjusted height would exceed that above noted standards; o When requested by FAA; and; o Any construction or alteration located on a public use airport or heliport regardless of height or location. Persons or organizations intending to sponsor construction or alterations require notification to the FAA under Title 14, Part 77.13 using FAA form 7460–1 and associated amendments. Any structure meeting the requirements in Title 14, Part 77.13 must receive permission from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Structures will be compatible with the Anoka County/Blaine Airport Long Term Comprehensive Plan. Pathways A more detailed plan for expanding the City’s non-motorized pathway system is discussed in Chapter 9. Non-motorized pathways are an integral part of the City’s transportation system. The improvements and expansions in Chapter 9 work to ensure a sound transportation system within Arden Hills. Pursuing pathway projects in combination with road reconstruction projects is a primary method for implementing pathway expansion and improvement recommendations in Chapter 9. For each of the County highways within Arden Hills, roadway shoulders, in addition to pathways, are recommended on both sides of the roadway to accommodate pedestrian, bicycle, and other non-motorized travel where feasible. The City will also review pedestrian facilities and school routings to determine their adequacy as traffic conditions change. Shoulders and paths should be integrated with the roadway system to provide routes for non-motorized traffic to access existing and future controlled intersections where feasible. Non- motorized facilities are to be incorporated into road projects and land redevelopments to safely accommodate pedestrians and bicycles with vehicle traffic in the City, as the City grows. 11.3.5 Long-term Transportation Planning It is fundamental to rethink transportation plans and systems through at least 2030 as infrastructure needs and demands will inevitably change. Due to City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 11-15 changing demographics and increasing energy costs, the demand for mass transit is likely to increase. While efficient transit requires different growth and development patterns, transit corridors can be developed to compliment and be integrated with a community. Transit corridors may offer growth potential for residential, retail, and business. While the City does not have a significant influence on the nation’s energy infrastructure and it is difficult to predict future energy infrastructure needs, the City will be impacted by outside forces beyond its control. It will be necessary to be flexible when implementing this Comprehensive Plan and other developments in order to be responsive to changing conditions. 11.4 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES The following below strategies are proposed to help advance the goal of the transportation chapter: o Utilize the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Pavement Management Program (PMP) to plan for long-term improvements. o Require right-of-way dedication along County and local roads to meet future capacity needs as redevelopment is proposed. o Consider the use of flexible street design standards when reconstructing roadways in parts of the City with unique topographical or environmental features. o Develop standards to increase the safety of pedestrian crossings throughout the City. o Update the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances consistent with the Transportation Plan. o Establish a policy outlining when a traffic impact study should be conducted, including acceptable information to be contained within the study. o Maintain a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that contains elements for reconstruction of the roadway system, with scheduled maintenance included in annual budgets. Street maintenance includes routine patching, crack filling, and storm sewer cleaning. Implement a schedule for roadway maintenance and reconstruction, street widening/realignment, etc. o Seek to partner and collaborate with Ramsey County, MnDOT, adjacent cities, and other agencies on transportation planning, upgrades, and other issues. The above strategies should not be considered all-inclusive. New opportunities and strategies should be identified to further advance the City’s transportation goal and policies. 20400 28100 Turtle Lake Pleaseant Lake Lake Owasso Long Lake Lake Vadnais Lake Johanna Snail LakeRound Lake Grass Lake Lake Josephine Silver Lake Sucker Lake Charley Lake Spring Lake Island Lake Rush Lake Valentine Lake Pike Lake Lake Wabasso Blacktern Pond Karth Lake Twin Lake Poplar Lake Sunfish Lake Little Lake Johanna Langton Lake Rice Creek Lake Jones SHOREVIEWARDEN HILLS NEW BRIGHTON NORTH OAKS ROSEVILLE MOUNDS VIEW VADNAIS HEIGHTS LITTLE CANADA SAINT ANTHONY SPRING LAKE PARK 1 7 6 0 0 92008600 47100 1 7 8 0 0 3 0 0 0 34200 23500 59900 3 3 0 0 103000 3 1 0 0 6400 3 7 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 4 4 1 0 0 1 3 7 0 0 1 2 9 0 0 0 2 1 5 0 0 7100 11100 1 5 8 0 0 0 1 2 6 0 0 3 0 2 0 0 1 3 3 0 0 0 13500 1 3 5 0 0 0 4300 6200 4 0 0 0 3600 7200 23700 128200 1 2 8 0 0 0 2800 11000 1 1 8 0 0 0 13900 3 5 8 0 0 5900 24000 2 4 1 0 0 80006300 5400 1 4 4 0 0 0 1 2 7 0 0 0 20900 18500 3 9 0 0 20001500 1 0 6 0 0 3 0 9 0 0 14100 1 1 8 0 0 15900 7 5 0 0 146000 1 5 2 0 0 0 28000 8400 4 4 0 0 10800 1 3 3 0 0 0 9200 1330006200 1 3 7 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 5 4 0 0 11800 £¤10 §¨¦694 §¨¦35W 2030 TRANSPORATION PLAN June 2015 I 0 3,000Feet Source:Ramsey County, Metropolitan Council (8-10-07), MnDOT, MnDNR 2030 Average AnnualDaily Traffic Volumes Figure 7 CLIENTLOGO Legend Existing Functional Classification A Minor Arterial-Connector A Minor Arterial-Augmenter A Minor Arterial-Reliever A Minor Arterial-Expander B Minor Arterial Major Collector Minor Collector Local Roads Lakes Wetlands City Limits Principal Arterial 2030 AADT VolumesXXXX Notes:Traffic volumes rounded as follows:<1000, Nearest 10>1000, Nearest 100 Forecast numbers depicted have a confidence range of plus or minus 15%.

PUBLIC FACILITIES, SERVICES, AND INFRASTRUCTURE • Within this chapter the sections relating to the TCAAP property have been updated as of July 13, 2015, to reflect the proposed development and the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. Sections not directly related to the TCAAP property have not been updated. Goal: Provide efficient and high-quality public facilities, services, and infrastructure. To achieve this public facilities, services, and infrastructure goal, the following policies are proposed: o Provide reliable and high-quality water facilities, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems. o Prepare long-term plans to identify, prioritize, and determine the costs to maintain and/or replace City water and sewer facilities. o Maintain and keep the emergency preparedness plan updated. o Work to provide efficient, low-cost services through ongoing evaluation and intergovernmental coordination. o Utilize the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and annual budgeting process for prioritizing major public expenditures. o Work to reduce inflow and infiltration into the City’s sanitary sewer system. o Coordinate with the public and private school system on programs and activities where feasible. o Promote the continuation of a public library within Arden Hills. o Continuously evaluate all contracted services to assure that efficient and high- quality services are being provided. The Arden Hills City government provides a variety of public facilities and services. While some services are used or seen on a daily basis, such as streets, sanitary sewer, and water, other services are less noticed, but are absolutely necessary for the efficient functioning of the City. Utility services are vital to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Arden Hills. The physical infrastructure of the Arden Hills is aging; the City recognizes the need to track and evaluate the condition of the existing infrastructure. The Capital Improvement Plan and annual budgeting process are two tools used to plan for improvements to the infrastructure. 13.1 WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT In the developed portion of Arden Hills, the City is not anticipating any significant land use changes that would result in increased demand on the City’s water supply, stormwater management, or sanitary sewer system. Redevelopment of the TCAAP property is expected to be completed in ten to twenty years. Infrastructure for water, City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-2 sanitary sewer, stormwater, and other utilities are anticipated to be implemented during the Spine Road construction in calendar year 2016. In the developed portion of Arden Hills, the City is not anticipating any significant land use changes that would result in increased demand on the City’s water supply, stormwater management, or sanitary sewer system. While redevelopment of the TCAAP property is expected to be completed in ten to twenty years, the City has not yet adopted a development staging plan for water, sanitary sewer, or stormwater. A development staging plan will be created once a redevelopment plan is selected for the TCAAP property. 13.1.1 Water Supply Plan (Appendix D) The Water Supply Plan provides the City of Arden Hills and its residents with assurance that an adequate supply of safe water is available for use, guidance and procedures for water system emergencies are in place, and includes measures being used to conserve the City’s water supply. The Water Supply Plan is divided into four parts (Appendix D): Part I: Water supply system description and evaluation Part II: Emergency response procedures Part III: Water Conservation Plan Part IV: Metropolitan Land Planning Act Requirements The City of Arden Hills purchases potable water from the City of Roseville, who purchases water from the Saint Paul Regional Water Services. Saint Paul Regional Water Services provides the required treatment processes before the water is introduced into the water distribution system in Arden Hills; no further treatment is required by the City of Arden Hills. Once in the City, the system is under the jurisdiction of the City’s water utility. The City has three connection points with the City of Roseville: 1. Cleveland Avenue and County Road D, 2. Fairview Avenue and County Road D, and 3. Glenhill Road and Hamline Avenue. Historically, the water utility has managed to be self-supporting, with f uture replacement needs financed from revenues generated from the fees paid by users. The City periodically reviews the arrangement with the City of Roseville and the Saint Paul Regional Water Services to ensure that the City is obtaining the most cost-effective services. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-3 The City operates and maintains approximately 44 miles of mainline, two water towers, one booster station (water pumping facilities) and has three emergency cross connections with adjacent communities (Table 10.1). These interconnections are normally closed, but can be opened to meet emergency needs. Table 13.1 - Intercommunity Water Connections 13.1.2 Sanitary Sewer (Appendix E) The entire City of Arden Hills is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), therefore sanitary sewer interceptor and treatment is provided to the City via the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) system. Within the City, the system is under the jurisdiction of the City’s sanitary sewer utility. Historically, the sanitary sewer utility has managed to be self-supporting; with future infrastructure replacement needs financed from revenues generated from the fees paid by users. The Arden Hills sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 42 miles of sanitary sewer, over 1,050 manholes, and fourteen (14) lift stations. The sanitary sewer information is included in Appendix E. 13.1.3 Stormwater/Surface Water Management With nearly 550 acres of water across seven lakes, numerous wetlands, and Rice Creek, protecting water quality and managing stormwater is of the utmost importance in Arden Hills. As part of the City’s water quality goals, the City recognizes the need to establish a plan that is in conformance with the plans and regulations adopted by the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Metropolitan Council’s Water Resource Management Plan. As part of the TCAAP redevelopment process, an AUAR was completed that included an analysis of stormwater mitigation needs. According to the AUAR, stormwater will be managed on-site, maintaining the current drainage patterns and utilizing the current outfalls to Rice Creek and Round Lake. Stormwater will be conveyed to Round Lake and Rice Creek by means of underground storm sewer, ponds, vegetated swales, and wetlands. Conveyance systems will be designed in accordance with acceptable industry standards and in conformance City Size Location Shoreview 8" North of Grey Fox Road on Lexington Avenue Shoreview 8" North of Cummings Park Drive on Lexington Avenue New Brighton 8" East of Cleveland Avenue on Stowe Avenue City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-4 with jurisdictional requirements. The primary method of stormwater treatment will be the use of multiple ponds for the removal of total phosphorous and total suspended solids. Water reuse, bio-filtration, filtration, and stormwater wetlands are also suitable for treatment within the Study Area. No discharge water will be directed to surface waters without prior retention in a temporary settling basin and a determination that no contamination exists. 13.1.3.1 Stormwater Management Plan (Appendix F) Arden Hills falls entirely within the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), which is the regulating authority for stormwater in Arden Hills. The RCWD is responsible for administering the Wetland Conservation Act and related permitting activities. The RCWD approved the City’s Local Stormwater Management Plan (LSWMP) in 2002 2012 (Appendix F). Regulatory agencies, including the Metropolitan Council, share Arden Hills’ view on the importance of protecting water quality and storm water management. The City’s 20022012 LSWMP discusses local methods to further joint goals and policies regarding surface water management while assessing problems and proposing corrective actions. The primary purpose of the 20022012 LSWMP was to: o Assess existing water quantity and quality issues; o Assess potential problems and opportunities for natural resource enhancement in light of anticipated development within each watershed; and, o Formulate practical strategies to correct existing problems to prevent potential problems and to take advantage of opportunities to enhance water related natural resources. In order to advance the above purpose statement, the 20022012 LSWMP reviewed the physical environment, performed water quality and hydraulic analyses, established the objectives and policies, and set implementation steps. In summary, the LSWMP objectives were to (pp. 11-1930-41 of the LSWMP): o Improve water quality o Prevent flooding and erosion from surface water flow o Promote groundwater recharge o Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreation o Pollution control and good housekeeping for municipal operations o Public participation, information, and education o Establish funding sources for management programs City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-5 In April 2008, the Rice Creek Watershed District initiated an update to their Water Resource Management Plan (WRMP). Once the RCWD completes the update, the City will update its Stormwater Management Plan to bring it into conformance with the RCWD Plan and the Metropolitan Council’s Water Resource Management Plan. 13.1.3.2 Local Ordinances (Appendix F) In addition to the LSWMP, the City has adopted regulations to further the City’s goals in protecting water quality, reducing nonpoint source pollution, protecting sensitive natural areas, and managing stormwater (Appendix F): o Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance o Shoreland Ordinance o Floodplain Ordinance The Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance was adopted in 2008 and the Shoreland and Floodplain ordinances were adopted in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The City intends on reviewing the Shoreland and Floodplain ordinances to ensure that they are effectively advancing City goals and policies. 13.1.3.3 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (Appendix F) On March 17, 2014February 15, 2008, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) approved the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. The MS4 general permit is mandated by federal regulations under the Clean Water Act and administered by the MPCA. In general terms, MS4s are publicly owned or operated stormwater infrastructure, used solely for stormwater, and which are not part of a publicly owned wastewater treatment system. Examples of stormwater infrastructure include curbs, ditches, culverts, stormwater ponds and storm sewer pipes. The City of Arden Hills is an MS4. The MS4 general permit focuses on reducing the pollution that enters these public systems and discharges to wetlands, streams and lakes (“waters of the state”). The MS4 permitting program gives owners or operators of municipal City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-6 separate storm sewer systems approval to discharge stormwater to lakes, rivers and wetlands in Minnesota. All owners or operators of MS4s are required to satisfy the requirements of the MS4 general permit. The MS4 general permit requires the MS4 operator or owner to create a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) with six important components (included in the attached MS4 permit): o Public education and outreach, which includes teaching citizens about better stormwater management. o Public participation: Include citizens in solving stormwater pollution problems. This includes a required public annual meeting and an annual report. o A plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the stormwater system (such as chemical dumping and wastewater connections) o Construction-site runoff controls. This includes the implementation of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control ordinance. o Post-construction runoff controls o Pollution prevention and municipal “good housekeeping” measures, such as covering salt piles and street-sweeping. 13.1.3.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Chapter 10 section 5.3 of the Comprehensive Plan includes the TMDL listing status for the major water bodies in Arden Hills. Lakes Johanna and Josephine are listed for mercury in fish tissue but do not have a completed TMDL study. Little Lake Johanna and Valentine Lake have not had TMDL studies completed. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has set a target start date for Little Lake Johanna and Valentine Lake of 2010. The City will cooperate with the MPCA and other related agencies as TMDL studies that impact Arden Hills are approved and implemented.

As part of LSWMP update, development reviews, regulatory updates, and other related policies, the City will work to address the following issues: o Formally adopt criteria to protect and improve stormwater runoff and quality, such as the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP); o Require stormwater plans for new development and redevelopment that requires increased stormwater infiltration and a decreased use of impervious materials; o Identify and adopt best management practices that reduce stormwater runoff, such as the Metropolitan Council’s Urban Small Sites Best Management Practice Manual; o Where feasible, require pre-settlement stormwater discharge on new developments and redevelopments; o Identify and adopt methods for minimizing the effects of temperature, especially for streams and wetlands; o In cooperation with the RCWD, collect water quality data on lakes within the City and establish goals for each water body; o Educate residents on the link between surface water and ground water quality; and, o In cooperation with the RCWD, complete a wetland management plan; 13.1.4 Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) (Appendix G) The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Water Resources Management Plan includes policies for reducing inflow and infiltration into the region’s sewage treatment system. The MCES has projected significant growth in the metropolitan area by 2030. This increase, along with current levels of inflow & infiltration (I&I) in the system, would require significant, costly increases to expand the existing MCES treatment facilities to meet the future wastewater flows. As a result, MCES has implemented an I&I surcharge program. Communities with excessive I&I are required to develop plans and reduce their I&I. If I&I is not reduced in the community with excessive I&I, the MCES will impose a surcharge. The City of Arden Hills has been identified as a community with inflow and infiltration (I&I) challenges. The MCES has imposed a surcharge on the City as a part of its I&I reduction program. Based on current readings that the MCES has taken from several monitoring points, Arden Hills’ surcharge is City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-8 estimated at $100,100 a year for five years, beginning in 2007. The City is examining its sanitary sewer system to identify areas that are contributing to the I&I problem, and the City will take the necessary measures to reduce and/or eliminate the surcharge. Appendix G outlines the City’s objectives, policies, strategies and implementation plan to achieve reduction in I&I. 13.2 OTHER UTILITIES Electricity, natural gas, and cable television are provided and maintained by private companies; however, they do use the right-of-way for distribution of these services. Electricity and natural gas is provided by Xcel Energy. Comcast provides cable television services to Arden Hills. 13.3 CITY STREET AND RIGHT-OF-WAY MAINTENANCE The City has an on-going Pavement Management Program (PMP) that documents the physical condition of the approximately 31 miles of streets. The condition of each of the streets is evaluated and given a Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which is used to prioritize street reconstruction and maintenance. The PMP reviews roadway pavement condition as well as presence of concrete curb and gutters, storm drainage system, and public utility conditions. These factors are weighted together to generate a prioritized list of roadway improvements. A financial analysis is conducted and the proposed improvements are grouped into annual programs in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and annual budgeting process. Technological advances and development activities are placing increasing strains on the City’s right-of-way. Right-of-way (ROW) is used to provide area for electric, gas, telephone, cable, and other public and private utility lines. Unplanned use of the ROW can lead to a confusing jumble of underground utilities that increase the maintenance and reconstruction costs to all users. It is in the City’s best interest to revise its right-of- way ordinance to provide for a comprehensive approach for the maintenance and construction for all public and private utilities within the City ROW. 13.4 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS The City adopted the Ramsey County-wide Emergency Operations Plan on November 14, 2005, and updated its City supplemental plan on December 12, 2006. The purpose of this Plan is to maximize the protection of life and property, ensure the continuity of government, sustain survivors, and repair essential facilities and utilities. The Plan is intended to assist key City officials and emergency organizations to carry out their City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-9 responsibilities for protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions. It is also important to be able to efficiently coordinate emergency services and communicate with other governmental organizations. 13.5 CITY BUILDINGS 13.5.1 City Hall The City Hall building was opened in October 2001 and is located at 1245 West Highway 96, which is approximately half way between Lexington and Hamline Avenues on the north side of Highway 96. The building includes a community room, Council chambers, and additional space for future needs. 13.5.2 Public Works/Joint Maintenance Facility In October 2004, the City of Arden Hills, Ramsey County, and the Mounds View School district opened a joint maintenance and operations facility on Paul Kirkwold Drive, which is in the northwest corner of the Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue intersection. The City’s Public Works Department, including staff and equipment is located at this facility. 13.6 CITY SERVICES In addition to basic infrastructure needs, the City provides a variety of public services, including police and fire protection as well as day to day administrative functions. In 2008, the City had 24 full-time employees. The number of temporary employees changes throughout the year but ranges between five and fifteen at anyone time depending on the time of year. Many of the temporary employees are hired by the Public Works Department for park and recreation services. The City continually strives to provide services in an efficient manner. In order to provide services at a low-cost, Arden Hills has sought partnerships with other cities and Ramsey County. 13.6.1 Police The City contracts with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office for all police services. As with all its vendors, the City periodically reviews this arrangement to ensure that the City is obtaining the most cost-effective services for its residence. The Ramsey County Patrol Division is located in Arden Hills at the Joint Maintenance Facility. As development occurs on TCAAP, the City and Ramsey County will City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-10 evaluate the services provided to the City to determine if additional facilities or services are needed. 13.6.2 Fire The Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department provides fire fighting services to Arden Hills, Shoreview, and North Oaks. The fire department owns four fire stations: o Station 1 in Arden Hills at 3246 New Brighton Road; o Station 2 in North Oaks at 4676 Hodgson Road; o Station 3 in Shoreview at 5545 Lexington Ave NI; and, o Station 4 in Shoreview at 3615 Victoria Street. As with all its vendors, the City periodically reviews this arrangement to ensure that the City is obtaining the most cost-effective services for its residence. As development occurs on TCAAP, the City and Lake Johanna Fire Department will evaluate the services provided to the City to determine if additional facilities are needed. 13.6.3 Administration The City operates under a City Administrator style government, and the administrator manages the function of all other departments as well as implementation of the City Council’s policies and decisions. In 2006, the City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Roseville for engineering services, which includes a part-time engineer at Arden Hills City Hall. The City also has had a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Roseville for information technology services since 2001. 13.7 POSTAL SERVICES The City receives regular mail service via the New Brighton Post Office. If the need or opportunity arises for new or additional facilities, it has been a longstanding desire to have a full service post office within Arden Hills. 13.8 LIBRARY City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-11 Opened in 1969, the Arden Hills Library is located at 1941 County Road E-2, which is near the intersection of County Road E2 and New Brighton Road. In 2008, the library had more than 81,000 items in its collection. The library is part of the Ramsey County Library system, which includes six other libraries. While discussions about the future of the Arden Hills Library are ongoing, the City has a stated goal to keep a library facility within the City limits. As development occurs on TCAAP, relocating the library to TCAAP or somewhere else in Arden Hills may be a possibility. 13.9 PUBLIC SCHOOLS Almost all of Arden Hills is in the Mounds View School District (ISD 621); however, a small area in the southern part of Arden Hills is within the Roseville School District (ISD 623). Two of the eleven Mounds View School District buildings are located in Arden Hills: the Mounds View High School at 1900 Lake Valentine Road and Valentine Elementary at 1770 West County Road E2. The Mounds View School is also a partner in the joint maintenance facility used by the City and Ramsey County. The Mounds View School District is one of the highest rated school districts in the state and is a valued organization in the community. In addition to serving Arden Hills, the Mounds View School District also serves all or part of the cities of Blaine, Mounds View, New Brighton, Roseville, Shoreview, North Oaks, Spring Lake Park, and Vadnais Heights as well as White Bear Township. As of October 2007, the district had approximately 9,700 students and was the fourteenth largest school district in the State. The district is anticipating declining enrollment, and no new educational facilities are planned. While future development on the TCAAP property may add students to the school system, those students would likely just offset other declines. The Roseville School District has 10 buildings; however, none of them are located in Arden Hills. In addition to serving Arden Hills, the district also includes all or parts of the cities of Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Roseville, and Shoreview. 13.10 HIGHER EDUCATION While not technically a public service, Arden Hills is home to two private higher education institutions, Bethel University and Northwestern College. Bethel University is located south of Interstate 694 and is on the shoreline of Lake Valentine. The University has a long range Master Plan and future expansion on the campus is expected. City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 13-12 Split by the Roseville-Arden Hills border, Northwestern College is located in the south part of the City on the southern shore of Lake Johanna. The College does not have road access into Arden Hills; however, many of the College’s educational buildings are located in Arden Hills. Both Roseville and Arden Hills approved a long range Master Plan for Northwestern College in October 2007. Bethel University and Northwestern College have abundant natural resources and trails that are open for use to the residents of Arden Hills. The City strives to maintain a strong working relationship with both institutions to help ensure long term recreational access to these campuses and to coordinate any changes or expansions with the adjacent residential areas. ! #7 #7#7 #7 #7 !.!. !. !. !. !. !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. !.!.!. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !.!.!. !.!. !.!. !. !.!.!. !. !. !.!.!. !.!.!. !. !.!. !.!.!. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !.!.!. !.!. !. !.!.!. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !.!.!.!. !. !.!. !. !. !.!.!. !.!.!.!. !. !.!. !.!.!. !.!. !.!. !.!.!.!. !.!. !.!.!. !. !. !.!.!. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !.!.!.!. !.!. !. !.!. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !.!. !.!.!. !. !.!.!.!.!.!. !.!. !.!. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !.!.!. !. !. !. !.!.!.!.!.!. !.!. !. !.!.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!.!.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !.!.!.!.!. !. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !.!.!. !. !. !.!. !.!.!. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!.!. !.!. !. !.!. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !.!. !.!.!. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !.!. !.!. !.!. !. !. !. !. !.!. !.!. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !.!. !.!.!.!.!. !.!.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!.!.!. !. !. !.!.!.!. !. !. !. !.!. !.!. !. !.!.!. !. !.!. !.!. !. !.!. !.!. !. !. !. !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !.!.!.!.!.!. !. !. !. !.!.!.!.!.!. !. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !.!.!. !. !. !. !. !.!. !.!.!. !.!. !.!. !. !.!.!. !.!. !.!. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !.!. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !.!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !.!.!. !. !.!.

Creek Hill Town Center y City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive Plan Bench Copy - Distributed at the 06/15/15 Work Session APPENDIX E — SANITARY SEWER PLAN The entire City of Arden Hills is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), therefore sanitary sewer interceptor and treatment is provided to the City via the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) system. The City does not own or operate any sewage treatment facilities. Within the City, the system is under the jurisdiction of the City's sanitary sewer utility. Historically, the sanitary sewer utility has managed to be self-supporting; with future infrastructure replacement needs financed from revenues generated from the fees paid by users. The Arden Hills sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 42 miles of sanitary sewer, over 1,050 manholes, and 14 lift stations (Map E.1). The public sanitary sewer provides service to approximately 2,576 households and businesses. Of these connections, approximately 2,245 are residential and 331 are non-residential. The City's sanitary sewer lines and lift stations collect sewage from individual parcels or properties and route the sewage to the MCES sewer system. Wastewater is collected and delivered to four connection points with the MCES system: Meter 051, Meter 052, Meter 054, and Meter 059. The City's sanitary sewer system, along with the connection points to the MCES system, is identified on Figure E-1. Sanitary sewer in Arden Hills flows into MCES interceptors at these points, which deliver the waste to the Pigs Eye Wastewater Treatment Plant in Saint Paul. Operated by the MCES, this plant received an estimated 327 million gallons in 2007. The City operates and maintains 14 sanitary sewer lift stations. Since 1990, 10 of these have been replaced. The last four lift stations to be replaced are scheduled for replacement in the next 10 years. All of these facilities require around the clock monitoring. It is in the City's CIP to acquire SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) in the next five years, which will allow staff to monitor all lift stations and water supply facilities remotely. 1. INTERCOMMUNITY SERVICES The City of Arden Hills has inter-community utility service connections with the neighboring municipalities of Shoreview, Mounds View, and Roseville. Intercommunity utility service connections are listed in Table E.1. Neighboring communities have not requested additional sanitary sewer extensions and the City is not aware of any potential new requests.

FUTURE DEMAND FORECAST Municipal sewer service is readily available to all but one property within the City. Redevelopment and or reuse of existing sites are the largest challenge for the City in the future. Developers are responsible for extending trunk or lateral mains to provide for sewer connection in development or redevelopment projects. Outside of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property, the majority of the property within the City has been developed and no significant expansions or land use changes are anticipated. Virtually all sewage flow growth will be due to redevelopment on the TCAAP property_; , Sewage flow from TCAAP will enter the MCES system through M(� FES meter 59 ;n Argon Hills MCES meter 203 in Mounds View, . There is an existing agreement between the Cities of Arden Hills, the Department of the Army, and the City of Mounds View and there is an existing sanitary sewer connection that would allow sewage to be directed into the Mounds View system. The City of Arden Hills' community forecasts for total households and employment along with projected sewer flow through the year 2030 are shown in Table E.2. The forecasted wastewater flows are based on historical wastewater flow data and projected sewered housing and employment data as calculated by the Metropolitan Council in the System Statement. Maximum sewer flow is anticipated to be reached by 2020. The forecasted wastewater flow to each MCES meter is listed in Table E.3.

ON-SITE SEWAGE TREATMENT All but three structures in the City of Arden Hills are connected to the sanitary sewer system. The following four properties have private Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS): o 5400 Highway 8 (State of Minnesota — MnDOT Facility) o 5420 Highway 8 (State of Minnesota — MnDOT Facility) o 3233 Snelling Avenue (private residence) o 1680 Oak Avenue (private residence) The two State of Minnesota properties are exempt from City requirements. The two private residences are nearly 700 feet and 600 feet, respectively, from the nearest sewer line but are subject to all City regulations and Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080. The City Code requires structures with on-site septic systems to connect to the municipal sanitary sewer system within two years of sewer service being made available. The City Code needs to be updated to include the following ISTS regulations: o Require inspections and/or pumping every three years; o Require repair or replacement of failing systems within five years; o Require replacement of a system that poses an imminent public health or safety threat within ten months; and, o Develop an enforcement system that addresses failing systems or systems found to be an imminent public health threat. Since the City has only two ISTSs under its jurisdiction, a full tracking and notification database is not needed.

Return on Investment (R01) Generally Background.and Goal: The County will invest approximately$60 million in Rice Creek Commons(RCC) from 2013 through 2017. Direct repayment will begin when land sales commence in the next few years. The larger purpose is to enable private sector and other public investment to benefit the County as a whole through increased tax base,jobs,and housing choices,and new road,transit and energy infrastructure. Metrics: 1. Private sector investment approaching$1 billion resulting in new tax base 10 times the County's investment(assessor's estimated market value of at least$600 million). 2. Public investments through financing and grants from other public and philanthropic agencies including the City of Arden Hills,State of Minnesota,Metropolitan Council,foundations and non-profits at least equal to the investment by the County(an additional$60 million investment from other public/non-profit entities). How to Get There: Achieve goals listed below relating to development of office, manufacturing and retail space and housing and innovative public/private partnerships including energy resiliency,transit, and housing diversity. B. New Tax Revenues Background and Goals: New tax base means new revenues to meet local government needs. Metrics:Total new tax revenues for the County,City,and School District of at least$10,000,000 per year at full build-out, net of fiscal disparities contributions and state taxes. How to get there: Office/manufacturing/retail square footage of more than 2,000,000. Housing of approximately 1,600 units. C. Land Sales/Taxes Goal and Background: In order to achieve employment,energy sustainability,and housing diversity goals,the County may not recover 100%of its$60,000,000 investment. In situations where the County reduces land price for a particular development or goal,through annual tax revenue to County achieve 3 a 10%annual return on the amount of investment not repaid (If$10 million not repaid in land sales, achieve at least$1 million greater annual tax revenue than would otherwise be paid using the minimum standards). Metric: 10% return on net investment How to get there: Be adaptable to requests from the private sector and public partners. D. High Wage Jobs Background and Goal:Approximately 50%of the developable acreage of RCC is designated for office, manufacturing,and retail purposes. The goal is to produce new high wage jobs through attracting new businesses and the expansion of existing businesses. Employment and transit are linked because they support and encourage each other. Metric: Locate 4,000 high wage jobs in RCC with preferences for jobs with wages that are at or above area median income and are at least living wage jobs. How to get there: Create at least 1,200,000 square feet of office with average employment of at least 3 per 1,000 square feet of building area and office/manufacturing facilities of 500,000 square feet with average employment of at least 1 per 1,000 square feet. E. Transit Background and Goal:Provide high-frequency bus service from RCC to the rest of Ramsey County and the metropolitan area through a Bus Rapid Transit(BRT)or similar line of service. Transit will enhance employment opportunities for a new generation of workers and serve as a draw to new residents. Metric: High frequency bus service(defined as service every 15 minutes)and increase County Road H park and ride service to Minneapolis How to get there: Housing density of 10 to 15 units per acre and employment of 4,000 workers. F. Energy Resiliency Background and Goals: An Energy Integration Resiliency Framework(Framework)was funded by Ramsey County and adopted by City of Arden Hills/Ramsey County Joint Development Authority.This Framework,guided by a local Energy Resiliency Advisory Board, recommended several strategies to make RCC a unique development in the Twin Cities and the nation. Metric: RCC will become a Net Zero Energy Community and RCC greenhouse gas emissions(lower CO2) will be 70%less than traditional developments. How To Get There: Select residential developers committed to installing heat pump systems for heating and cooling that utilize geothermal heat from the Army's groundwater treatment system (requires establishment of a district heating system). Facilitate development of a utility scale/community solar 3 PV array of 8 to 12 megawatts on the former TCAAP Primer Tracer Area. Give preference to developers who will design and construct commercial buildings based on SB 2030 performance based standards. G. Housing Diversity Background and goal: RCC should offer a variety of owner-occupied and rental housing choices that meet all levels of affordability as well as life cycle and move up housing for existing residents of the County and surrounding areas. Metric 10%of all housing units and 20%of owner occupied housing to meet Metropolitan Council affordability levels. How to get there: Choose developers that share County and City goals for type,design and price points. Bench Copy - Distributed at the 06/15/15 Work Session City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive Plan 3. CITY VISION On a day-to-day basis, the City provides many services that are needed to maintain a high-quality of living and contribute to the overall success of Arden Hills. This Plan is divided into fourteen chapters that address a range of topics, including land use, housing, and transportation among others. While each chapter has its own goals and policies, the chapters are not independent of each other. This Plan should be viewed as an integrated whole in order to take advantage of opportunities that may be able to advance the goals and policies from more than one chapter. The chapters, goals, and policies in this Comprehensive Plan are not presented in order of importance or priority. Each goal and policy has been identified as a tool to advance the overall City vision. The primary purpose of this Plan is to support and advance the City's long-term vision: City Vision —Arden Hills is a strong community that values its unique environmental setting, strong residential neighborhoods, vital business community, well-maintained infrastructure, fiscal soundness, and our long-standing tradition as a desirable City in which to live, work, and play. The community seeks to achieve this overall City vision by working to advance the following goals in this Comprehensive Plan: Active Living — Enhance the health, safety, and well-being of all who live, work, and play in the City. TCAAP Redevelopment— Develop TCAAP in a way that accommodates a mix of land uses that is sensitive to the natural environment, economically sustainable, and of benefit to the community. Land Use— Develop and maintain a land use pattern that strengthens the vitality, quality, and character of our residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas while protecting the community's natural resources and developing a sustainable pattern for future development. Housing - Develop and maintain a strong, vital, diverse and stable housing supply for all members of the community. Approved: September 28, 2009 3-1 City of Arden Hills- 2030 Comprehensive Plan Economic Development and Redevelopment— Promote the development, redevelopment, and maintenance of a viable, innovative, and diverse business environment serving Arden Hills and the metropolitan area. Parks and Recreation —Create a comprehensive, maintained, and interconnected system of parks, pathways, and open spaces as well as a balanced program of recreational activities for residents of all ages, incomes, and abilities. Protected Resources — Preserve, protect, and restore the community's natural resources, including open spaces, lakes, wetlands, other significant natural features, and historic resources. Transportation — Provide a transportation system that has convenient and effective multi-modal connections within Arden Hills and to adjacent municipalities, the remainder of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, and greater Minnesota. Environmental Conservation and Sustainability— Promote conservation and sustainable design practices in the preservation, development, redevelopment, and maintenance of the City's natural and built environment. Public Facilities, Infrastructure, and Services— Provide efficient and high-quality public facilities, services, and infrastructure. Each chapter in this Plan includes the background information for each goal, policies to advance the goal, and suggested implementation options. The policies and other implementation techniques listed in this Pian are not intended to be all-inclusive and there is overlap between chapters. New opportunities or tools that arise over time should be considered even if not included in this Comprehensive Plan. Approved: September 28, 2009 3-2 Page 1 of 1 AGENDA ITEM – 1B MEMORANDUM DATE: June 15, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: 2016 – 2020 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Action Requested Provide feedback to staff on Preliminary Proposed 2016 – 2020 CIP Plan. Background Annually the City prepares a five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan for budgeting and forecasting. Discussion A preliminary plan has been prepared and is attached along with a summary of projects, detailed sheets on each project and their proposed funding sources, a report showing the projects by funding source, and a sheet projecting the fund balances in each of the funds (since the operating budgets have not yet been completed, these fund balances included estimated operating costs). The majority of changes are in the Public Works area, a memo from Terry Maurer is attached for your reference on the major changes to that area. EDA was updated but no changes to costs and the voting system was moved out as it has not yet been purchased by Ramsey County. Attachment Attachment A: Memo from Terry Maurer Attachment B: Capital Improvement Plan Summary Attachment C: Capital Improvement Project Detail Sheets Attachment D: Equipment Replacement Program Attachment E: Projects by Funding Source Attachment F: Sources and Uses of Funds Summary for the CIP MEMORANDUM DATE: June 10, 2015 TO: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Changes/Additions to 2016-2020 CIP Listed below are the changes and/or additions we made to the 2016-2020 CIP. A. Parks Department  Added TCAAP park development of $7,000,000 over the years 2017- 2019. This is the estimated park development cost from the TCAAP financial model. B. Sanitary Sewer Department  Added the TCAAP Trunk Sanitary Sewer & Lift Station in the amount of $1,200,000 in year 2016. This is the sanitary sewer and lift station associated with the Spine Road construction. The estimated costs are those presented in the preliminary design information previously provided to the Council. C. Water Department  Added the TCAAP Trunk Water improvement associated with the Spine Road construction in the amount of $1,000,000 in 2016. The estimated costs are those presented in the preliminary design information previously provided to the Council.  Added the construction of a new Water Tower on the TCAAP site in the amount of $4,800,000 in 2016 to correspond to the development of the Spine Road. The estimated costs are those presented in the preliminary design information previously provided to the Council.  Added a new Booster Station for the water system to provide redundancy to the existing high-pressure zone and to serve TCAAP in the amount of $1,000,000 in 2016. This year corresponds to the construction of the Spine Road and trunk utilities to serve TCAAP. The estimated costs are those presented in the preliminary design information previously provided to the Council.  Added the replacement of existing water main along County Road E2 where the repair of three water main breaks in 2015 revealed deteriorated pipe material. Also included the addition of a water main loop along Old Hwy 10 from County Road E to County Road E2 to provide redundancy to the system. These improvements are estimated to cost $400,000 and were placed in 2017.  The North Water Tower Repainting is planned for 2016. It had been budgeted at $750,000. The estimated cost has been raised to $900,000 based on a current analysis of the market for this type of work. Note: depending on the timing for the construction of a new water tower in TCAAP, it may be advisable to wait until that new tower is operational to repaint the existing tower as the new tower will provide better back-up while the existing tower is out-of-service for repainting. D. Street Department  Lexington Avenue Improvement (I-694 to CR F) raised the City contribution from $100,000 to $300,000 to reflect the costs the City has agreed to with approval of the Cooperative Agreement.  Added the Hwy 96 Landscaping in 2017 at an estimated cost of $600,000 in 2017. This item reflects that medians and boulevard areas have been created with the recently completed U.S. 10/Hwy 96 Grade Separation project and more will be created with the 35W/Hwy 96 Interchange project that will need to be landscaped. The cost is truly just a place saver with no preliminary design estimates preformed at this time.  Old Snelling Avenue, including the bridge replacement, has been moved from 2025 to 2017 for two purposes. First, it is anticipated that in mid- 2016 the City should be granted State bridge bonding monies for half of the bridge construction cost. Second, there was much discussion about this project and its timing at the franchise fees public hearing. So the project has been moved to 2017 for Council discussion regarding when it should be considered. E. Equipment  Removed “Replace 2005 4-Door Diesel Pickup” at $44,000 from 2016.  Increased the cost of the “Replace 1997 Street Sweeper” anticipating that TCAAP could have some public permeable pavers that would require a Vacuum Sweeper (which is slightly more expensive) to maintain.  At this time, 2019 only has some anticipated equipment needed for the development of TCAAP and 2020 has nothing.

The City purchased Springbrook software in 2001-2002. In 2011- 2014 we have been implementing the Human Resource module and the Central Services modules. As future enhancements are available we will be implenting this as well as upgrading the software,future modules include Project Management,licensing,business analystics,and dashboards. Justification The current software was purchased in 2001-2002. Updating the software as updates become available continue to help us streamline our processes and tighten internal controls. As new technology becomes available-we need to update our systems to be able to function as the old software does not run on the older versions of operating systems and they are not supported.Updates were done in 2010 and we are still implementing some of those updates as they were not completely finished by the vendor or we had not had the staff time to implement. New enhancements to keep up to current technology are continuous.. Funding will come from the Equipment Building and Replacement Fund but operating transfers will be made from each of the enterprise funds Water,Sewer&Surface Water)to account for their cost of the software.

Floral Park was last replaced in 2012. At that time,it was recommended that the City reconstruct that court in 5-6 years. There are structural cracks that cannot be corrected with a basic resurface. Hazelnut was resurfaced in 2013 and is scheduled to be reconstructed in 2019. Royal Hills was resurfaced in 2013 and is scheduled to be reconstructed in 2020. Justification The cracks at Floral Park,Hazelnut Park and Royal Hills cannot be resolved through a basic resurface. The court at Floral is surrounded by trees and roots are intruding into the playing surface. The constant leaves on the court and root intrusion reduces the life of this court. The City did root cutting and tree trimming/removal around the entire Floral court in 2012. This will help to keep the roots from continuing into the court area. Staff does not know the exact date the Floral court was built but estimates in the early 1980's. Hazelnut was built in 1981 and Royal Hills in 1986. The court life is usally 25-30 years.

These changes were adopted to Federal Law. These changes effectively make Engineer Grade signs no longer compliant after 2014. This will be a phased in project beginning with inspection and inventory of our existing signs. This review must be complete before January 2012. After the inspection,a systematic replacement will be developed.All non-compliant regulatory,warning, and ground mounted guide signs must be replaced before January 2015.All non-compliant street name and overhead guide signs must be replaced by January 2018. It is estimated that to maintain the new reflectictivity requirements signs will be replaced with Diamond Grade material and replaced at the end of the warranty period;8-10 years.

In 2012 both water towers were inspected inside and outside using the"float down"method by Kollmer Consultants,inc of Stacy MN.Based upon these inspections the recommendation is to make minor structural modifications to each of towers together with a complete stripping of the existing paint and a full repainting.Kollmer recommended that the south water twoer be completed in the next 1 to 2 years and the north water tower be completed in the next 2 to 3 years. Note:7/21/14 Council Worksession moved to 2016 due to TCAAP workload in 2015.

Aslo,by creating a loop in the low pressure system by connecting the water main on CR E with this main on CR E2 the City will be better able to fed the low pressure system by rerouting and not have to rely on temporary feds from the high pressure system. Justification Recent water main breaks(three in 2015)on this section of main on CR E2 have all shown a deteriated pipe material.Water breaks are exected to contiue with high frequency as the pipe material continues to wear thin. Looping the low pressure system along Old Hwy 10 will provide needed additional redunancy in the system.

City Councilmembers Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Ryan Streff, City Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case 14-036 – Red Fox Business Center – Building 2 Façade Discussion Requested Action Staff is requesting that the City Council discuss the new façade design for Building 2 of the Red Fox Business Center, supplied by Roberts Management Group, and determine if additional façade treatments are required. Background On February 23, 2015, the City Council approved Planning Case 14-036 for a Master and Final PUD and CUP for the Red Fox Business Center located at 1235 Red Fox Road for the construction of two (2) multi-tenant light industrial buildings. During this meeting the Council discussed the need for additional façade treatments on the southeast elevation (loading dock area) of Building 2 in order to preserve the view of adjacent buildings and to reduce monotony. A motion was approved to add condition #18 that states: “The Developer shall provide additional façade treatments on the south façade (loading dock area) of Building 2 similar to the north façade but not requiring use of the anodized aluminum materials”. The building elevations as reviewed by the Council on February 23 are included in Attachment A. Staff has been working with Roberts Management Group to ensure that the building design meets the intent of condition #18. In order to satisfy this condition, Roberts Management Group has provided a façade design that includes a horizontal sand colored band along the top edge of the building wall (Attachment B). Staff has reviewed this design and does not believe that the intent of the condition as approved by the City Council has been met by the proposal.

NEW BUSINESS A. Planning Case 14-036 – Master and Final PUD – Red Fox Business Center City Planner Streff explained that Roberts Management Group is proposing to construct two (2) multi-tenant light industrial buildings on an 8.04 acre development site located at 1235 Red Fox Road. The site is located in the southeast quadrant of Snelling Avenue North and Interstate 694 and bordered by Health Partners and the Northwoods Office Building to the east, and UTC Fire & Security building to the west. City Planner Streff stated that as proposed, the Red Fox Business Center would consist of two (2) buildings totaling 93,300 square feet. Building 1 is proposed at 43,300 square feet in size and Building 2 is proposed at 50,000 square feet in size. The buildings would be designed into individual tenant bays ranging from 5,000 square feet and up to allow businesses to take as much or as little space as needed. City Planner Streff indicated that two driveways are proposed to provide access to the development, the first along the eastern property line for passenger vehicles and the second along the western property line for truck traffic. In this case, it is important to separate passenger vehicles and truck traffic whenever possible in order to minimize conflicts. Parking areas for passenger vehicles would be located along the front façade of Building 1 and along the front and side façades of Building 2. As indicated on the plan set, Building 1 provides a parking area ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 2 consisting of 82 parking stalls and Building 2 has 80 parking stalls incorporated into its design. In this development, truck docks have been provided along the western façade of Building 1 and along the southeast façade of Building 2. The docks on these building have been positioned on the site to minimize their view from adjacent rights-of-way and neighboring buildings. Where less desirable views exist on to the site, increased landscaping has been provided by the applicant. City Planner Streff stated that both of the proposed buildings would be similar in design and use. The applicant expects 50% wholesaling and warehousing uses with the remainder of the space used for office space, business services, research and development, manufacturing and processing (class 1), retail, and other similar uses. Given the visibility of the property from Interstate 694 and Snelling Avenue, Roberts Management Group believes that the project could attract some commercial showroom and retail tenants as well. City Planner Streff commented that as proposed, the buildings would be constructed with high quality tilt-up concrete panels with exposed aggregate. Decorative metal and anodized aluminum would be used as accent materials to provide architectural interest to the building façades and to create focal points for entryways and corners of the buildings. The applicant intends to use a significant amount of glass coverage on the front façades of each building by incorporating ribbon windows. Glass coverage on the front façade of both buildings would be approximately 42% with an average of approximately 22%-25% glass coverage when combined between all façades. Building 1 would be designed with a 22 foot clear height and Building 2 would be constructed with a 24 foot clear height in order to allow tenants to maximize the use of their space and provide the ability to store products vertically. Staff reviewed additional details on building elevations depicting the types of building materials that would be used for the building construction. City Planner Streff reported that the applicant has submitted a project narrative explaining the proposed Red Fox Business Center development in further detail, where flexibility is being requested, and why the overall proposal is within the public interest. A complete plan set, including the Site Plan, Tree Preservation & Landscaping Plan, and Photometric Plan have also been submitted. Planning Case 14-036 includes three requests: 1. Master Planned Unit Development 2. Final Planned Unit Development 3. Conditional Use Permit City Planner Streff noted that the Planned Unit Development process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building materials, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 3 City Planner Streff reviewed the Plan Evaluation, Traffic Study and Sign Code Review. He noted that the Developer is requesting some flexibility in the tree preservation requirements and in the tree replanting requirements. He also stated that in the traffic circulation within the site there are a couple of pinch points that the tenants will have to address. City Planner Streff explained that the Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 14-036 at their regular meeting on February 4, 2015. The Planning Commission offers the following Findings of Fact for consideration: General Findings: 1. The applicant is requesting approval of a Master & Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and a Conditional Use Permit for the Red Fox Business Center development. 2. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City’s regulations through a negotiated process with a developer. 3. The Red Fox Business Center development is comprised of 8.04 acres. 4. The Red Fox Business Center development is located at 1235 Red Fox Road. 5. The proposed development is located in the I-Flex District. 6. The proposed development is a permitted use in the I-Flex District. 7. The Master and Final PUD are in substantial conformance with the requirements set forth in the City’s Zoning Code and design standards. 8. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City’s Zoning Code, flexibility has been requested by the applicant. 9. The applicant is proposing to construct two (2) multi-tenant light industrial buildings on the property. 10. The proposed development would be accessed from Red Fox Road. No access from Northwoods Drive would be provided. 11. The proposed plan is in conformance with the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

The proposal will not affect glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid and solid waste on the property. 17. The proposal will not affect drainage on the property. 18. The proposal will not affect the population density on the property. 19. The proposal is unlikely to significantly affect land values on the subject property or on neighboring properties. 20. The park dedication requirement does not apply in this case. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 4 21. Where the proposed use is expected to impact the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land, conditions may be placed on a Conditional Use Permit to mitigate such impacts. City Planner Streff indicated that the Findings of Fact for the Master & Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) support approval. However, if the City Council chooses to deny the application, the Findings of Fact would need to be amended to reflect the reasons for the denial. It was noted the Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 14-036 and unanimously recommends approval (6-0) of the Master & Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the Red Fox Business Center project in order to construct two (2) multi-tenant light industrial buildings at 1235 Red Fox Road, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans as presented in the February 23, 2015, Report to the City Council, as amended by the following fourteen (14) conditions: 1. That the project shall be completed in accordance with the submitted plans as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. That the applicant shall obtain a building permit within one year of the PUD approval or the approval shall expire unless extended by the City Council prior to the approval’s expiration date. Extension requests must be submitted in writing to the City at least 45 days prior to the expiration date. 3.

The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that site improvements are completed in the event that the developer defaults on the PUD Development Agreement. 5. That the Developer shall submit a cash escrow in the amount of 25 percent of the estimated costs of site improvements including grading, utilities, and paving, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The escrow will be used for City costs related to review, approval, and inspection of site improvements or any costs incurred by the City in the event of a developer default. 6. That the Developer shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the estimated costs of landscaping prior to the issuance of a building permit. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit issued by a FDIC-insured Minnesota bank. The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that landscaping is completed in the event that the developer defaults on the Development Agreement. The City will hold the letter of credit for two years after the installation of landscaping. The letter of credit should not expire during the two-year period. 7. That the Developer shall submit a cash escrow in the amount of 25 percent of the estimated costs of landscaping prior to the issuance of a building permit. The escrow will be held by the City for two years after installation of landscaping and used for City costs related to review, approval, and inspection of landscaping, or developer default. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 5 8.

Mayor Pro-Tem McClung thanked City Planner Streff for his report and asked if the Council had any questions of staff. Councilmember Holden asked if all landscaping requirements were being met. City Planner Streff stated that this was the case. Matt Pacyna, SRF Consulting, reviewed the traffic study in further detail with the Council. He explained how data was collected noting that there was a focus on Red Fox Road. He reported that the intersection had cueing issues which provided it a service level D. He discussed the proposed improvements the County had planned for the corridor. Councilmember Holden questioned where the 800 trips were coming from. Mr. Pacyna explained that the trip generation estimates were based on the trip generation handbook for a business park land use. He discussed how the morning and evening rushes were peak traffic times, but noted additional volume would be generated by deliveries, clients and visitors. Councilmember Holden inquired how many of the estimated trips would be truck traffic. Mr. Pacyna anticipated that 5-10% of the trips would be truck traffic for the proposed business center development. Councilmember Woodburn asked if the applicant had submitted a lighting plan. He recommended that the lighting not be visible from the adjacent highway. City Planner Streff reviewed the lighting plan with the Council, noting that all proposed lighting would be shoebox in nature to keep the light within the development site. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 6 Nicholas Roberts, Roberts Management Group, discussed the proposed Red Fox Business Center in further detail with the Council. He thanked the Council for their consideration. He assured the Council that the proposed lighting would be shielded from passing traffic and meet all City requirements. Councilmember Holden requested further information on the tip-up panels. Mr. Roberts explained the style and type of tip-up panels that would be used for the business center, along with the color and finish that would be selected for all sides of the building. Councilmember Holden questioned how many trees would be planted on the site. Mr. Roberts pointed out the number and location of the proposed trees within the development. He noted that a utility easement was located adjacent to the property which meant that trees could not be planted in this area. Mayor Pro-Tem McClung agreed that additional screening was necessary to screen the loading dock area on Building 2. He inquired what enhancements were being made to the northern façade. City Planner Streff discussed the proposed enhancements that were planned for the northern façade. Mayor Pro-Tem McClung understood flexibility was being requested with regard to tree preservation and tree plantings. He requested further information from the applicant as to why the Council should consider this flexibility. Mr. Roberts commented that this was the only area he was requesting flexibility through the entire PUD process. He stated that part of the reason was because there are a lot of trees on the site and that he was running out of space to plant trees; except for the location along the northwest property line. He suggested that this property line not be fully screened by trees in order for the new building to be viewed by passing traffic along the freeway. He wanted to capture some of this exposure for his future tenants. He discussed further how he had worked to achieve both his and the City’s goals through the PUD. Ben Hartberg, consulting landscape architect for the applicant, reviewed the landscape plan further with the Council. He noted that some of the existing trees along the property line belong to HealthPartners. He reported that trees could not be planted over the watermain, but stated junipers or a fence may be an option to provide additional screening. Public Works Director Maurer explained that the City had two utility mains running along this property, a 16” water main and a sanitary sewer line that crossed under I-694. Staff did not recommend plantings in this area given the fact they may need to be taken out for repairs in the future. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 7 Mr. Roberts indicated that he would be more than happy to offer additional plantings if they could be placed on the HealthPartners property, away from the utility easement. He stated that he would be happy to plant four or five trees in this area. Mayor Pro-Tem McClung and Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation. Further discussion ensued regarding the loading dock elevation of the building. Councilmember Holden requested that the applicant break up and further improve this elevation. She encouraged Roberts Management Group to communicate their construction plan and timing to HealthPartners. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Woodburn seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 14-036 for a Master and Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to construct two (2) multi-tenant light industrial buildings, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the fourteen (14) conditions in the February 23, 2015, Report to the City Council.
