comments, please feel free to contact me.

Bethel College and CPI on minor expansions. A marketing
packet was prepared and given to Barb Piotrowski and Ray

Arden Hills.

111 ARDEN HILLS
Once, like many Twin Cities suburbs, Arden Hills was a farming
community. But in 1951, the City incorporated in an effort to
include the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in its boundaries .
And as interest in the northern suburbs grew among developers,
the City' s location proved to be a draw.
Arden Hills encompasses approximately 9 .4 square miles and lies
in Ramsey County about 5 miles north of the St . Paul City limits .
It is bounded on the west by Interstate 35W and on the east by
Lexington Avenue . Interstate 694 and Highways 10 , 96, and 51 cut
through the community. The current population is estimated at
approximately 9, 500 .
The fact that the U. S . Army has a dominant presence in Arden
Hills hasn ' t kept developers away. In fact, Arden Hills boasts
an impressive list of corporate headquarters and executive homes .
The community is the corporate headquarters for Cardiac
Pacemakers, Mutual Service Insurance (MSI) , Land O' Lakes, Delta
111 Environmental and H.B . Fuller Company. Control Data Systems and
Pharmacia Deltec also have large facilities in Arden Hills .
Arden Hills has been successful in its efforts to attract
desireable business and industry. This is obvious when a
developer contacts the City for potential development sites .
Most of the land available is in small tracts, however, three
large tracts do exist .
One potentially untapped development area is the federal
government ammunition plan. With a total of 2 , 330 acres, it
could start a substantial influx of building activity if the land
were ever released or sold.
Another area available for development is the Round Lake District
in the northeast corner of I-694 and I-35W. This area, which
acts as the gateway to ,the City, consists of 60-80 acres of
property zoned for "mixed-uses . "
The remaining area of commercial development is on the west side
of Lexington Avenue, south of I-694 . This area has been rezoned
411 to encourage the redevelopment into a compatible retail mix which
would feed off the nearby Target Greatland store .
• Named after the extinct Arden Dairy Farms and the rolling
topography, Arden Hills brings to mind such words as "pastoral"
and "idyllic . " Arden Hills is home to a wide variety of uses
ranging from corporate headquarters to colleges . We hope that
you will consider locating your company to Arden Hills and become
a part of our community.

The committee discussed a possible follow up to the
businesses who didn' t respond. This is something that
could be done long term, maybe over the next six
months .
• The Committee needs to respond to those businesses
indicating a need for space or are upset with the City.
This would require personal visits . Mary Miller, Jerry
Moehnke, and Dan McCallum will review the surveys to
find out which businesses require follow up. This will
be completed within 2 weeks .
Prior to conducting any follow up the committee needs
to develop a set of factors or a checklist to discuss
with the business . It also needs to be clear on how
the City will respond to concerns identified.
City staff will be available to assist as much as
possible .
5 . Goals
Jerry Moehnke will meet with the City Council tonight
to discuss the Committee ' s goals . The key goals are
continued business retention, develop of a marketing
packet and encouraging aggressive development rather
than responsive . The committee will also try to work
closer with the Planning Commission by providing its
minutes .
