<br />The wetlands compnsmg Marsden Lake are both beautiful and crucial to maintaining water <br />quality and wildlife. The Marsden Lake area should be incorporated into the open space <br />proposed for the site and protected. <br /> <br />The prairie pothole formation on the northern portion of the property is a valuable testament to <br />the geologic heritage of the region. As such, the area should be protected as part of the planned <br />opeD space I to be preserved f?r the enjoyment of all. <br /> <br />The central portion of the TCAAP site provides an opportUnity to protect some unique features, <br />including the kames and the Desmodium illinoense (Illinois Tick-treefoil). This area includes <br />the gravel pit, which has been carved into a portion of one of the glacial kames. This primarily <br />upland area should be included in the pianned open space, in conjunction with Marsden Lake <br />to the east and a corridor leading to Rice Creek to the west as part of a larger contiguous open <br />space area. <br /> <br />2. Recreation Provide an area for the development of recreational spaces and facilities that <br />are unique and acceptable to the broader community and anticipates the future demographic <br />needs of the broader community. To that end, provide at least 70 contiguous acres for a joint <br />recreation facility that can be used and supported by the broader community. The most likely <br />location for the joint community athletic complex is within the northern portion of the property, <br />surrounded to the southeast, south and west by open space, and to the north by Institutional land, <br />and to the northeast by housing. Should it become clear in the interim that this land is <br />unavailable, the fields may belG'.:ated elsewhere. Provide at least 25 contiguous acres of land <br />for a conununity park for:the City-uf Arden Hills. Until such time that the property becomes <br />excessed, allow the general public access to the facility for outdoor recreational activities in <br />appropriate areas. Encourage the development of an historic/nature interpretive center on the <br />site. <br /> <br />Buffer zones are needed between the residential areas and critical areas of the park preserve. <br />These buffer zones, of approximately 180 acres,could be used for either passive natural areas <br />or active recreation. <br /> <br />3. Housing Encourage the provision of a balanced housing supply in relationship to <br />affordability, life-cycle housing, density, market conditions and resource availability. To that <br />end, provide the potential for at least 400 acres for the development of residential housing. <br />Housing on the facility should be constructed in locations which do not impinge on the natural <br />resources to be protected. Housing may be built on the site and shall be locatcd as shown on <br />the attached map, and shall be generally described as follows: Situated on thc northern portion <br />the property, abutting County Road I, east of the proposed institutional land, and abutting joint <br />community athletic fields. Housing also may be located on a portion of land between <br />commercial/industrial/office space development and the buffer zone designated . as <br />"active/passive recreation ". It may extend all the way down to Highway 96 in the south. The <br />principles embodied within the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act should besupported. The <br />14 houses currently occupying the northwest ponion of the site should be viewed as a resource <br />which could be reused. The current location falls within areas which are not su~table for <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />.. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />eI <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.. <br />I <br />
