UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Trail Segment Priorities Ms. Olson informed the Committee that she created a new trail segment id placing the � �' p g segments in order by high, medium and low. She indicated she gm laced the segments p according to what was discussed at the previous meeting and would like the members to review in case she had missed anything. She stated that as discussed at the previous meeting, Segment M would not necessarily need to be a sidewalk but that the road could be restriped. Discussion ensued about working with the businesses to extend the path from the Arden Hall parking lot to Caribou and Shannon Square. Ms. Olson indicated that at this point they want to make sure that the $60,000 estimate the gave the they businesses is an accurate estimate. If the estimate comes in higher they would need to - see if the businesses are still willing to go ahead with the project. Discussion ensued regarding the area from the railroad to Grey Fox Road and it was felt that this area should be a high priority. Ms. Olson indicated that area is art of Segment O and she could take p � Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 16,2010 Page 2 that section and make it a separate Segment named 03. By doing this they could then move just that portion into high priority. MOTION: Council member Straumann moved to name the area from the railroad to - Grey Fox Road Segment 03 and move to the high priority level. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Messerly. The motion carried unanimously. Discussion ensued about a sidewalk from Grey Fox to Red Fox. Ms. Olson indicated she could get an estimate on that segment. Ms. Olson asked if they would like to add this as Segment S. The members indicated it should not be added as a segment at this time. B. Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail Signage Chair Peck informed they had a productive meeting with Elmer L. Andersen's son and daughter(Julian and Emily) and they indicated that they were pleased to be involved and supported the design of the sign. They also agreed to provide the verbiage on their father for the sign. Ms. Olson reported that she and Derrek Hames (designer) with Ramsey County Parks and Recreation regarding the Elmer L. Andersen signage. Ramsey County indicated that they have money left from a grant that they would like to use for possibly one large sign at Lake Johanna at the beginning of the trail segment and possibly a couple smaller ones. Ramsey County needs to have the money spent by June 30th, so the City needs to move forward with getting quotes. Chair Peck suggested that maybe they use some of the grant money as a down payment on the initial fabrication because of the quick deadline. Chair Peck indicated a benefit of having Mr. Andersen's son and daughter involved is that they Y can catch the essence of what Elmer L. Andersen represented. He also mentioned Julian and Emily were curious about why the H. B. Fuller Foundation turned down support for the project and liked the idea of going with the 1,000 Ramsey County Bench Grant. Julian and Emily are in support of getting H. B. Fuller onboard which would then provide more quotes of Elmer L. Andersen along the trail. Ms. Olson indicated that Ramsey County did have a few suggestions on the design but that they did agree the Arden Hills map should be on all the signs and will not require that the Ramsey County map be on the sign. Chair Peck wanted to go on record for recognizing former Chair Bill Henry on the fantastic job he did wording the resolution. Ms. Olson mentioned that Emily and Julian also commended the wording on the resolution. C. Oath of Office Discussion ensued regarding the Oath of Office. This item had been tabled at the last meeting. Ms. Olson indicated she would leave this up to the committee and did have an Oath of Office that they could read if they decided to go forward with this. She did indicate they were not required to do this since they were not a commission. The committee members decided it was not necessary to do an Oath of Office. Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 16,2010 Page 3 D. Boy Scout Proiect Idea Discussion Ms. Olson mentioned she received a brochure from Rich Straumann and that there were several Arden Hills Eagle Scouts who were honored at a recent ceremony. One was honored for a catch-basin painting project, another for a bench project and one for a - buckthorn removal project. She mentioned she does have an Eagle Scout that is - researching a bird feeder project at Crepeau Park Preserve and is very impressed with his work thus far. Ms. Olson indicated that Committee Member Garretson had several suggestions for projects. One project was to clean or spruce up an Arden Hills park; however,Ms. Olson wondered if this was considered a maintenance project since those are not allowed as Eagle Scout projects. Another project Ms. Garretson suggested was to create a rain garden at a drainage point in one of the parks. Ms. Olson feels that if the timing is right it is something that could be done in the future. Ms. Garretson also suggested g aintin the painting catch basins but, again, Ms. Olson feels this falls under maintenance. The last project she suggested was to create identification markers for poison ivy. Chair Peck indicated that this had been done in the past. Ms. Olson expressed she was in favor of this idea. Chair Peck indicated he feels construction and placement of trail signage would be a good project. He also asked if there was a project that could be done for placing bike racks. Ms. Olson indicated she is not sure if they need more bike racks in the parks. Discussion ensued regarding the bike racks. E. Unfinished Business Council Member Messerly complimented Ms. Olson on her grant writing skills. 4. NEW BUSINESS A. Clean-Up Day—Saturday,April 17, 2010 Ms. Olson indicated the will be doing their 2nd annual clean-up day which will take Y g p Y place at the Tony Schmidt Regional Park from 9:00-11:30 am on April 1 7th. She indicated they will be meeting at the beach building at 8:45 am and would appreciate any assistance the committee members could offer. Chair Peck felt they should work on the - north side of the road up to the first driveway because of the debris in that area. Ms. Olson feels this is a good park to clean since Celebrating Arden Hills will be held there. B. Other New Business Ms. Olson informed that Celebrating Arden Hills will be held on September 18 from 3:00-8:00 pm. She indicated she met with Ramsey County regarding keeping the road open. She stated if they close the road it will be a large expense for the City and they would like to avoid that. Ms. Olson mentioned the committee would like to utilize the community more(i.e; possibly having the canine unit and fire department come and do an activity and have a - water obstacle course for the kids). She indicated the Committee is also working with Presbyterian Homes as a second site where they would host an art/music type event. She informed that Presbyterian Homes would be willingto shuttle folks between the ark and P their facility. Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 16,2010 Page 4 Ms. Olson suggested that another possibility would be to-have pontoon rides at Presbyterian Homes and will check with the City Attorney to see if there would be any legal issues with this type of activity. - Chair Peck asked if they would be highlighting any of the City Committees, like the PTRC, at the event. Ms. Olson indicated that could be an aspect but in the past has been difficult to man. Ms. Olson also indicated they had discussed having a canned food drive where one would donate an item in order to participate in an activity. She mentioned that for the Presbyterian Homes portion of the event, the City has the courtyard reserved for the event and in case of inclement weather the events would be moved inside the facility. 5. REPORTS A. Council Update Council Liaison Grant discussed the County Road E bridge. The City is waiting to hear back on our STP Grant Application. The first round of funding did not include our project and their will be another round of funding decided in the next few weeks. The City is the second highest scoring pedestrian bridge project on the list to be considered. Council Liaison Grant mentioned the MnDOT—Hamline Avenue and 694 Open House that was held and a preferred option was chosen at the March 8th Council Meeting. The preferred option does not appear to be on the website. Council Liaison Grant requested - that staff post that on the web site for residents to be able to review. Council Liaison Grant gave an update on the potential Arden Village Development work force housing) that came to Council on March 8th. This is for work force housing right next to Land O Lakes on County Road F. Council approved the Development Application. The management company will now need to apply for tax increment financing. They feel confident that they will be successful in this next round of applications for this. _ B. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Report Ms. Olson reported she has received three quotes for the Cummings Park project. irrigation 'ect. g p This will be brought to the March 29th City Council meeting pp for approval. Ms. Olson reported that she and Chair Peck met with Bruce Kunkel from Bethel regarding g g partnering with the City on the CP Rail Project but he informed them the school is now facing significant budget cuts. Ms. Olson indicated Mr. Kunkel was going to approach the president to see what, if any, support they could give. Ms. Olson mentioned the school is eligible for several more grants than the City and that Mr. Kunkel indicated Bethel could possibly apply for a grant for that area. Ms. Olson informed she has not heard back from Mr. Kunkel and would be contacting him. She mentioned that Bethel is supportive of assisting the City as much as they can but she does not know what form this will come in. Chair Peck asked where they were at with the funding. Ms. Olson mentioned that the CIP shows state aid as their funding and there is a variance that shows the City y can use y Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 16,2010 Page 5 funding but that that has not been approved by Council. She stated that at this point Bolton and Menk have given plans to the railroad and the City is waiting to hear back from the railroad if they are requiring any changes or will sign off on the plans as they are. She mentioned that there is no timeframe for the railroad to reply, but that Bolton and Menk are - pushing them for a response. - 6. NEXT MEETING—March 16,2010 The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,April 27, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. This is due to a TCAAP meeting scheduled on April 20, 2010. 7. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Committee Member Straumann motioned to adjourn and Committee Member Petersen seconded. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Agen da Item 4A : TCAAP Zoning Discussion Items � N HILL =E S MEMORANDUM DATE: April 27,2010 Item. 4.A - TO: Parks,Trails, and Recreation Committee FROM: James Lehnhoff, Community Development Director SUBJECT: TCAAP Planning Process and Zoning Regulations Action Request Staff is seeking input on the draft TCAAP zoning regulations, particularly Sections 1320.135 Subd 6.0 and 7 that relate to parks, trails, and open space (Pages 14-16 of Attachment Q. The proposed regulations are intended to generate discussion and lead to the adoption of zoning regulations for the TCAAP property. Background At the February 16, 2010, City Council worksession, staff proposed a TCAAP zoning regulation concept that is based on the mixed use vision that was adopted in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. After reviewing the concept, the Council directed staff to continue working on the proposed zoning regulations and to begin a review process with the City Council; Planning Commission; Economic Development Commission; and Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee. Before the regulations can be adopted, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing, and the Council will have the final review. Ideally, the regulations will be approved or close to approval prior to the public auction,which may occur as soon as the last week in June 2010. Because the composition of the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee has changed since the start of the master planning process for TCAAP, this memorandum provides a general overview of the TCAAP property and planning process. TCAAP Property and Planning Process Overview In 1941, the United States Army purchased approximately 2,400 acres of land for what would become the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant(TCAAP). During a 16 month period, over City of Arden Hills Wdocsl IahWHdataOanninglCommunity Development l TCAAP IPIanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW4271 D-PTRC Memo-TCAAP Planning Process.doc Page 1 of 8 300 buildings were constructed to manufacture and test munitions for World War II. At its peak, TCAAP employed more than 25,000 people. The TCAAP property was included in the City of Arden Hills' borders when the City incorporated in 1951. Between the early 1980s, the Army decommissioned most of the operations at TCAAP. There have been discussions about the potential reuse of the TCAAP property almost since it was created. However, in the mid 1990s, former Congressman Vento initiated a community - visioning process to begin discussions about how the TCAAP property could be reused (Attachment A). In 2001,the US Army formally declared the western portion of the TCAAP property along Interstate 35W, US Highway 10, and Highway 96 as excess property that was to be sold. Most of the original 2,400 acres in the TCAAP property were transferred or leased to other public entities, including the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Ramsey County,the Minnesota National Guard, and the City of Arden Hills. With the bulk of the original TCAAP property dedicated to other uses, only 585 acres of the original 2,400 acres were ultimately deemed excess property that was to be sold for reuse (Attachment A). For the purposes of this memorandum, the term"TCAAP" or"TCAAP property" only applies to the remaining 585 acres available for redevelopment. As part of the Army's process for selling TCAAP, the City was provided an opportunity to negotiate a purchase of the TCAAP property. The Army's alternative process was to sell the property through a public auction. In order to be more proactive in the planning process, the City partnered with a private developer in 2002. In cooperation with the developer and through a community planning process,the City adopted the Framework Vision in 2005 (Attachment A). The Framework Vision was a refined version of the Vento Reuse Plan that helped set the direction for the TCAAP property and helped the developer determine a value for the property. In 2006, the City approved a purchase agreement with the US Army to buy the 585 acres for$45 million. The developer would subsequently buy the property from the City. Building off of previous planning efforts, the City embarked on a community planning process to create a detailed master redevelopment plan for the TCAAP property. The purpose of that community - process was to gather input,prepare a layout, and work toward adopting a detailed master redevelopment plan for the TCAAP property. A detailed master plan would address such items as land use, density, streetscapes, signage, landscaping, and other related items. Once the master plan was completed, zoning regulations would have been written to implement the TCAAP master plan. However, citing economic conditions, the developer withdrew from the project in May 2009 before the planning process was completed or a master plan was adopted. When the developer exited the project,the offer to purchase the TCAAP property was terminated with the US Army. The General Service Administration(GSA),which is the real estate agent for the Army, City of Arden Hills Mhdocsl IahWHdatalPlanninglCommunity Development lTCAAP IPlanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW42710-PTRC Memo-TCAAP Planning Process.doc Page 2 of 8 subsequently initiated a process to sell the TCAAP property at a public auction. The auction was tentatively set for the summer of 2010. In June 2009, the City Council evaluated the future of the TCAAP property and decided to - review opportunities for using a portion of the TCAAP property as a new regional park. The City Council held a joint meeting with the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners the regional park authority in October 2009 to discuss the regional park concept. While the - County decided to not pursue using most of the TCAAP property as a regional park,they did direct their staff to work with the City to determine if a strategically selected portion of the TCAAP property could benefit the regional park system. The TCAAP reuse plans have long included a 50 acre Wildlife Corridor connecting the Rice Creek area to the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS),which is operated by the Minnesota National Guard. With unanimous support from the City Council, Ramsey County is pursuing two additional land transfers from the TCAAP property to enhance the regional park and open space system(Attachment A): • Trailhead Corridor(28 acres)—The County is working with the National Guard and the US Army to create a trailhead for seasonal recreational access to the AHATS property. Of this 28 acres, approximately 13 acres are part of the 585 acre TCAAP reuse area and the other 15 acres are part of the AHATS property. The 13 acre portion on the TCAAP property is in the area called the Primer Tracer area,which is approximately 76.5 acres. With the 13 acres removed, the remaining 63.5 acres is likely to be transferred to the National Guard. The Trailhead Corridor is labeled as Parcels B and C on the proposed TCAAP Acquisition Map provided by Ramsey County(Attachment A). • Rice Creek South Regional Trail Corridor(30 acres)—This approximately 150 foot wide trail corridor is proposed to connect the Highway 96 Regional Trail to the Rice Creek North Regional Trail that runs along both sides of Rice Creek. This corridor is labeled Parcel D on the proposed TCAAP Acquisition Map provided by Ramsey County (Attachment A). If the Wildlife Corridor, Rice Creek South Regional Trail Corridor, and Trailhead Corridor transfers take place,the developable portion of the TCAAP property would be reduced by about - 30 acres. The Wildlife Corridor and the Primer Tracer area had already been designated as park and open space in previous plans. Under this scenario, approximately 430 acres would be available for redevelopment at the public auction. After the offer to purchase was approved in 2006, the master planning process started because the City was working with a developer and held a reasonable belief that the property was going to be redeveloped in the near future. Because of those circumstances, the City and developer needed to create a detailed master plan, in part to evaluate the economics of the project. While the City had significant discussions on such topics as land use layouts, design options, and parks, no plans were finalized or adopted by the City before the developer withdrew from the project. City of Arden Hills MhdocshahWHdatalPlanninglCommunity Development I TCAAP IPIanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW42710-PTRC Memo-TCAAP Planning Process.doc Page 3 of 8 Moreover,none of the plans were translated into a format that could be incorporated into City zoning regulations. The information collected during the previous planning discussions will be a resource for the - zoning process and future planning discussions. Without a developer or specific proposal, it is not possible to finalize a master plan prior to the public auction. Additionally,the composition of the property has changed in light of the Ramsey County open space requests. Although there is not a detailed master plan in place for TCAAP, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan sets the foundation for a mixed use development on the TCAAP property that would include housing,parks, open space, and businesses (Attachment B). The City Council unanimously expressed support for the mixed use concept in the Comprehensive Plan at their February 22, 2010,worksession. The City will be in the best position if the Zoning Code is updated to reflect the City's vision in the Comprehensive Plan prior to the auction or shortly thereafter. The zoning information will also help potential bidders make knowledgeable decisions regarding a bid price. The planning process is somewhat unique since the developer withdrew from the project. Typically, a city would adopt a master plan through a community planning process. Once the master plan was adopted, the zoning regulations would be written to implement the plan zoning is a tool of planning and not a plan by itself. While the Comprehensive Plan provides the overall concept for the TCAAP property, it does not include such details as a final land use layout, final densities,road locations, lot sizes, or other typical regulations. Without a detailed plan prior to the public auction,much of the focus needs to be on prepping the zoning regulations to include a process for creating the detailed master plan at a future date. The proposed zoning regulations are essentially a"plan to create a master plan." Proposed TCAAP Zonine Regulations Comprehensive Plan The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document for the City's Zoning Code. State Statute requires the zoning code to be in conformance with a city's comprehensive plan; however, there is quite a bit of flexibility in the Arden Hills 2030 Comprehensive Plan in regards to TCAAP. Within the portion of TCAAP that may be redeveloped, the property is divided into two land use categories (Attachment C): • Mixed Residential (-220 acres)' —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 The acreage has not been adjusted to account for the Ramsey County open space requests. City of Arden Hills I W hdocsl l ah IAHdata IPlanningl Community Development)TCAAPIPIanning-Public Auction ILand Use PlanningW42710-PTRC Memo-TCAAP Planning Process.doc Page 4 of 8 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. • Mixed Business (-240 acres)'—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. These two land use categories were based on the mixed use development concept that was being prepared with the former developer. Despite the changes to the TCAAP planning process,these categories still serve as the basis for a TCAAP redevelopment plan and allow the City to update the zoning regulations for the TCAAP property to prepare for the public auction. If necessary, the definitions or borders of these future land use categories can be amended at a future date, sub j ect to Metropolitan Council approval. As it stands,housing would be limited to the Mixed Residential area and businesses would be limited to the Mixed Business area(Attachment Q. Zoning Code Update The western and southern side of the TCAAP property is currently zoned I-2: General Industrial District(Attachment Q. The eastern side of the property is zoned R-1: Single Family Residential. While the new future land use categories in the Comprehensive Plan do not necessarily exclude the uses in the existing I-2 or R-1 zones, the existing zoning does not support the concepts proposed on the future land use map. Due to the discrepancy in uses and because the existing zoning was not designed with a large redevelopment in mind, the City is moving forward with updating the zoning regulations for the TCAAP property. Until there is a detailed master plan, it is not possible create the specific zoning regulations that are typically written into the ordinance. However,the City can still set the parameters that a future TCAAP redevelopment must follow. These parameters will be incorporated into two new zoning districts that align with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. The new zoning district will require the developer to use the Planned Unit Development(PUD)process, which would be enhanced to address the unique circumstances of the TCAAP property. The PUD process was also going to be used in the concept discussed with the previous developer.The new TCAAP zoning districts should focus on the City's overall goals for the property along with a balance of flexibility, known requirements, and development constraints. The new zoning regulations will guide a future planning process to create a master development plan that will engage all stakeholders, including the residents of Arden Hills. Proposed TCAAP Zoning Regulations (Attachment Q The proposed zoning regulations create two new zoning districts, Mixed Residential (MR) and Mixed Business (MB), and affect four parts of the Zoning Code: City of Arden Hills Mhdocshah WHdata Oanningl Community Development)TCAAPIPlanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW42710-PTRC Memo-TCAAP Planning Process.doc Page 5 of 8 1320.04 —Purpose of Districts: All of the zoning districts have a purpose that is listed in this section. A purpose statement would be added for the new MR and MB districts. - When a city adopts a zoning regulation, it must be based on a rational purpose that enacts - community goals. 1320.05 —Land Use Chart: The land use chart lists the permitted and conditional uses for T each zoning district in the City. If a use is not listed as permitted or conditional, then it is automatically prohibited. Some of the uses, i.e. office, retail, have very broad definitions that allow for a wide variety of uses. 1320.06 — District Requirements Chart: This chart includes the lot size, coverage, and setback information for each district. The MR and MB districts will be added to the chart, though the details will likely be added as part of a master plan that is developed at a later time. 1320.135 — Special Requirements for the Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Districts: This section is the workhorse of the new MR and MB districts. This section includes the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process and the components that will be needed to create a TCAAP master plan. Subd. 1. — General Procedure. This section is a summary of the overall planning and review procedure for the PUD. Subd. 2. — PUD Concept Plan Review. In the existing zoning code, applicants have the option for a concept plan review that allows for a non-binding meeting to discuss the aspects of a proposal. Staff is proposing to make the concept plan review a requirement for the TCAAP planning process. Subd 3. — Public Engagement Plan. Due to the potential impact on the community, public input and participation is important for creating the master plan. This subdivision would require the applicant to implement a public - engagement plan. Subd 4. — PUD Master Plan. This subdivision describes the process and information requirements for submitting an application to create the TCAAP master plan. Part C is particularly important because it defines when a PUD application would be deemed complete. Once an application is complete, the City is subject to the statutory 120 day review process. In order to consider the application complete, the applicant would need to complete the components in subdivisions five through 15. The City will also have the ability to institute a development moratorium for TCAAP if that becomes necessary. City of Arden Hills Mhdocshah UHdata Oanningl Community DevelopmentlTCAAPIPlanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW42710-PTRCMemo-TCAAP Planning Process.doc Page 6 of 8 Subd 5. to 15. — These ten components list the information and performance requirements for a future master plan. Essentially, these components set the direction for the City and a developer. This is where the City can set a balance _ between some flexibility and particular requirements. The ten planning _ components include Land Use and Design Standards; Transportation and Transit; Park, Recreation and Open Space; Utilities; Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR); Environmental Review and Remediation; Environmental Sustainability; Contractual; Financial and Resource; Construction Staging; and Subdivision. Subd. 16. PUD Final Plan. This is the final phase of the PUD process and is used when a developer actually starts construction on a particular phase. The PUD Master Plan will be a plan for the entire TCAAP property, but construction is likely to occur over time in different stages. The PUD Final Plan is used to finalize the construction detail for a specific stage of development. Parks, Trails, and Open Space Section 1320.135 Subd. 6E and Subd. 7 addresses the park, trail, and open space requirements for the TCAAP property. Since there is not a specific layout for the property and since the boundaries of the property are likely to change to accommodate the Ramsey County park and open space requests, it is not possible to create a map to display the exact requirements. Instead, these sections set the parameters for the park and open space requirements, which is largely in step with previous TCAAP planning discussions. Assuming the Ramsey County park and open space requests are approved, there would be approximately 430 acres available for redevelopment. Of the developable area, the City has the ability to require land for public park and open space uses. With a ten percent park and open space requirement, the zoning regulations would reserve 43 acres for park and open space uses. Please note that this does not include private landscaping,private sidewalks, or the right-of-way. Land Use and Legal Consultant Review At the March 8 regular meeting, the City Council authorized staff to contract with the Cuningham Group for planning and legal services to assist in the preparation of the TCAAP zoning regulations. The purposes of the consultant is to refine and strengthen the proposed regulations, incorporate best planning practices, and help ensure the legal enforceability of the regulations. The consultant has been assisting staff with writing and researching the proposed zoning regulations.
