ROSEVILLE TWIN LAKES REDEVELOPMENT AREA PROJECT 1980 TO PRESENT (Draft: For Nov. 8,2000 Planning Commission Meeting) I. Introduction The Year 2000 Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area Renewal Strategy describes the development or redevelopment of 46 parcels within a 275-acre area and may include up to 3.5 million square feet of new and/or renovated building area in multi-story buildings. (Refer to Introduction to Roseville Location Map). This additional square footage from the total 2.1 million outlined in the 1996 plan is due to the added parcels and proposal for multiple level developments. (Refer to Section IV for the Twin Lakes Renewal Strategies). The business park plan would be implemented in phases over the next 20 years beginning as early as 2002. Also, a new street, Twin Lakes Parkway, will be constructed by the City ofRoseville in 2001 and 2002 and include walking and biking trails, safety, lighting, ponding and landscaping enhancements, This report explains the Renewal Plan, refInements from the plans developed in 1988 and 1996, and the benefIts and the impacts of the redevelopment in and surrounding the Twin Lakes area. In Roseville a "Business Park" is a hybrid of a more typical industrial park with an office park. It is defmed as a geographically identifiable area which contains an architecturally consistent mix of offIce, office-laboratory, office-showroom-warehousing, biotechnical, biomedical, high-tech software and hardware production uses with support services such as limited retail, health, fitness, lodging and multifamily housing, The Business Park has well-planned roads, utilities, ponding and communication systems. Parcels within a Business Park have access to an internal parkway and/or external County minor arterials as well as access to the Interstate Highway System. Emphasis is placed on creating a unique, safe and high-quality work and play environment by installation of extraordinary, architecturally distinct buildings, transit and transportation services, site planning, landscaping, parks, trails and lighting. II. Background The Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area is located within the City ofRoseville in an area generally bounded by County Road C on the south, County Road C-2 on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the west and Snelling Avenue on the east.

Also, the Year 2000 Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area includes 41.11 acres of new right-of- way and greenspace. Development of the Twin Lakes area began in the 1950s. It developed as a major concentration of over-the-road trucking companies and related businesses because sites were large and inexpensive and the area was accessible to the highway system and close to both downtown Minneapolis and St. 1
