6. Approving long term, deferred assessments and bonding for public road and utility improvements. 7. Approving long term Industrial Revenue Bonds (Revenue Bonds). g. Condemnation within the public purpose of the Master Plan to establish fair market value. 9. County assistance to rebuild County Road "C" (in process). 10. County and State assistance to rebuild the interstate ramp at County Road C and Cleveland Avenue. 11. Grants from State, Metro Council and EPA for clean up and providing a livable community — longer term, mostly in the form of loans, and no immediate assistance except $500,000 in loans from EPA approved for use in Twin Lakes in 2001. 1. 6 In the spring of 2003 Roseville Properties (developer) proposed a 60 to 72 acre mixed residential and retail General Concept Planned Unit Development to redevelop a portion of the Twin Lakes truck terminal area to be known as Phase 2 of Twin Lakes Redevelopment. As proposed, the existing truer terminals and miscellaneous industrial and distribution uses would be removed. The entire area would be rezoned from its current designation of I- 1, 1-2 and B-4, to a Planned Unit Development with an underlying zoning of B -b, Mixed Use Business Par District. The proposal would include the extension of Terrace give as Twin Lakes Parkway from Cleveland Avenue to Fairview Avenue, adding approximately 3 acres of neighborhood park, pond, and overlook, designed as a neighborhood parr and buffer between the proposed retail/office area and Langton Lake Parr. The residential area would include 400 to 500 new tow nhomes and condominium units on approximately 22 acres. The retail area (over 26 acres) would include 300,000 square feet of retail and 155,000 square feet in one mass marketing large anchor store. The project has been tabled to 2004 because of challenges coordinating this proposal with the timing of County road "C" and lack of confidence in the ability to receive Council approvals because of the mass retailing use that has generated significant resident interest. 1.7 This fall staff began discussions with Reran Properties regarding the potential for locating Allina' s office headquarters in Twin Lakes. Allina has a serious interest in locating in Twin Lakes along Cleveland Avenue with a 240,000 square foot office building bating over 1,000 ,jobs in the area. However, the process is very competitive as Allina is also considering sites in Minneapolis and St. Paul. 1.8 Looping to the future, Roseville is on the cusp of the new econornic revival that will provide an increasingly diverse ,job base, solidify a new tax base for a currently under- productive area, and provide a positive image and gateway to the community including a new neighborhood and mix of land uses. To be successful, leadership by the Mayor and the Council is imperative and buy - in/support from the surrounding residential neighborhoods is critical. The City held a number of stakeholder meetings prior to adoption of the AUAR and the master plan in 2000 and 2001. In 2003, Roseville Properties continued that synergistic process in the spring and summer with a series of neighborhood meetings.
