'A TM 0 City Engineer City of Roseville FROM.- City of Roseville SUBJECT.- TWIN LAKES PARKWAY STATE PROJECT.- S.P. 160-080-002 LANGTON LAKES PARK —ICE MINIMIs FINDING The City of Roseville plans to construct Twin Lakes Parkway from Prior Avenue North on the west to Fairview Avenue North on the east,, a distance of approximately 2,000 feet, and make intersection improvements at the intersection of Twin Lakes Parkway/Terrace Drive and Fairview Avenue North. The project is needed in order to provide a system link between the existing segment of Twin Lakes Parkway and Fairview Avenue North at Terrace Drive, complete the link to/from 1-35W east ramps at Cleveland Avenue North, address the internal east-west circulation needs within the developing Twin Lakes Business Park, provide access to existing businesses and future uses consistent with adopted City plans, and address bicycle and pedestrian needs. Langton Lake Park is a City park located adjacent to the Twin Lakes Business Park. For purposes of this description, the park comprises two areas. The main park is 67.3 acres in size and includes Langton Lake and recreational facilities. Facilities include two ball fields, a soccer field, picnic areas, play structures,, and a fishing pier. These facilities are primarily located in the northwest portion of the park, north of Langton Lake and approximately 2,000 feet from the proposed roadway (the fishing pier is located approximately 1,000 feet away from the proposed roadway). The park includes a trail through the wooded area around Langton Lake. The recreational use of this trail is hiking and nature observation. The other area is a 20.5 acre parcel substantially covered by a regional stormwater pond constructed in 1996. This parcel is referred to as the Arthur Street Pond parcel. Langton Lake Park has received federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) and Minnesota Outdoor Recreation grants, both administered through the Minnesota Department of I Natural Resources (DNR). The proposed roadway impacts the southeast comer of Langton Lake Park, including 2,556 square feet ( <0.1 acres) of the 67.3 acre main park area. The trail is located approximately 150 feet from the proposed road and is not affected by the project. The roadway also requires 21,769 square feet (0.5 acres) of the 20.5 acre Arthur Street Pond parcel for road right of way and leaves a remnant parcel 19,090 square feet (0.4 acre) in size southeast of the road right of way. The proposed road right of way bisects Arthur Street Pond. No other facilities are affected. The right of way for Twin Lakes Parkway has been officially mapped since 1998. As part of the long-term planning for the Twin Lakes Business Park redevelopment in relation to the park, the
