Oasis Park (14 acres) is a neighborhood park northeast of parcel 30 on the north side of Terrace Drive W (the eastern portion of the proposed Twin Lakes Parkway). The park surrounds Oasis Pond and consists of a shelter, play equipment, and a trail on the south and west side of the lake, The trail ends at the drainage ditch that runs through the Twin Lakes Development Area. Like Langton Lake Park, the long term goal for Oasis Park is to construct a trail that runs the perimeter of Oasis Pond and connects into a larger trail system, This Park is sheltered from the development area by berms and plantings, and is not visible from Twin Lakes Parkway. In addition to the above trails, the Twin Lakes Development Area contains bituminous paths along three roadways: along the west side of Cleveland Avenue within Centre Pointe Business Park to County Road D; on the west side of Fairview Avenue from Twin Lakes Parkway north about 350 feet and along the entire east side ofFairview Avenue from County Road C to County Road C2; and along the entire length of County Road C on the south side from Cleveland Avenue to Snelling Avenue and on the north side of County Road C from F airview Avenue to Snelling Avenue. The construction of Twin Lakes Parkway and its associated trail system will enhance the development area by providing links to existing and future trails such as those around the parks. XXVI. Consistency with Existing Comprehensive Plan The proposed changes to the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Plan discusses the development of Twin Lakes Parkway to provide access to interior parcels in the business park, as well as improving the visual impact of the area and carrying a theme throughout the business park. The expanded infrastructure and public services considered in this project are consistent with the discussions in the Comprehensive Plan. The Year 2000 Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area now is now comprised of 275 acres, This expanded area includes an additional 52,6 acres of developable property to the north of County Road C2 along Cleveland Avenue and the industrial properties adjoining the north side of Terrace Drive and is one of 15 Redevelopment Plan Concept Areas, (Refer to Twin Lakes Boundary Map & Roseville Redevelopment Plan Concept Map). Also, the Year 2000 Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area includes 41.11 acres of new right of way and greenspace. The 1988 original plan for Twin Lakes calls for locating the Twin Lakes Parkway just south of Langton Lake. However, to enhance the connection with 1-3 5W, a southerly route that links directly into the existing on/off ramps of 1-35W has been mapped and was approved and adopted in October of 1998. (The Metropolitan Council, after review, also approved the road alignment amendment to the Comprehensive Plan in 1998-99). The southerly position of Twin Lakes Parkway provides better and more direct access to redevelopment parcels. Fewer roadways would be required to provide access to the parcels, and more desirable development sites will be created along Langton Lake, Dated: August, 1998 Revised:October31, 2000 Q:IPlanning Files\3232_TwinLakesRenewedPlan\Twin Lakes PlanslTwin Lakes Plan Revisions (1 03100). doc 23
