HISTORY OF THE TWIN LAKES REDEVELOPMENT PRO] EeT In 1988, Roseville City Council approved a Master Land Use Plan for Twin Lakes and set up a redevelopment/tax increment-financing (TIF) district to assist in the financing of the plan. . The purpose of the plan was to guide future development in the area generally bounded by County Road C on the south, Cleveland Avenue on the west, County Road C-2 on the north and Snelling Avenue on the east. . The Master Land Use Plan evaluated existing land use, transportation, parks and open space and redevelopment potential and developed design standards for the reuse of the properties, as they became available. The planning process included three public workshops involving over 120 private citizens and property owners. . The goal resulting from the study is to redevelop the Twin Lakes area, providing a variety of office, retail, business and light industrial uses. 1994, 1998 and 2000 - The City Council adopted the Twin Lakes Master Plan as part of major Comprehensive Plan amendments. In 1997 and 1998, the Twin Lakes Parkway, which will improve access to the area, was officially mapped. . Twin Lakes Parkway is designed to line up with the existing 1-35W ramp. This alignment will connect to I -35W and provide a direct access for truck traffic. The eastern portion of the parkway (Snelling Avenue to Fairview Avenue) will generally follow the existing Terrace Drive. In 1999, City of Roseville applied for and received a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to conduct site assessments (Phase I & Phase II), cleanup planning and community outreach in connection with the construction of Twin Lakes Parkway. Consultants were hired to assist city staff with environmental assessment, financing and communications. In 2000, the City of Roseville applied for and received a $500,000 Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund from the US EP A. The loan may be used by property owners, developers, or by the city to clean up contaminated property in the redevelopment area.
