17.Public Buildings, Structures, Improvements There is a desire to see additional partnership between the City, Galilee Lutheran Church and the Armory to provide meeting and recreation space for the community. Currently there are no programmed recreation field games at the Armory site. The Parks and Recreation System Plan is part of the Comprehensive Guide Plan that guides the development of the Park and Recreation system in the City of Roseville. Park and Recreation guidelines have been developed in this plan to provide a framework for decisions by city officials. Properly located, park and open space lands can control flooding, help to preserve the quality of the surface water, replenish the ground water supply, reduce air pollution and preserve natural resources. Parks also serve as gathering centers for active and passive use, providing a focus in many neighborhoods. They can be used effectively to maintain a "buffer" between conflicting land uses and to beautify the community by linking civic facilities such as schools and parks. Two types of Roseville parks could be considered for the Armory open space areas: Play Lots · (PL) Play lots are small parks intended for informal recreation, play and relaxation. Neighborhood Parks · (NP) Neighborhood parks offer opportunities for a variety of recreational activities, both organized and informal. While the Park & Recreation Plan and system statement were originally developed in 1996 and revised in 2001, they are current and reviewed periodically.The Plan is formally reviewed and revised at least every five years. Page 14 of the City of Roseville Park System Plan recommends that the City should, at the McCarrons Lake National Guard Armory, acquire the land north of the buildings, and should review a possible agreement in December of 2003. 19.Projected Timing and Phases of Redevelopment To explain the recommended future uses in the study area, staff split the area into three phases of development. Phase I and II could happen simultaneously as property owners (Guptil, others) are anxious to redevelop their sites and there is a need to renovate residential properties within the study area. Phase III is long term (10 to 20 years) and includes the complete redevelopment of the apartment buildings and business along Rice Street. 19.1Phase I Development - 2-5 year plan The phase I area is a total of approximately 14 acres and includes the 185 N. McCarrons - Guptil Site, the 9.2 acre Armory site and the 2.4 Acre Church site. (Refer to Appendix E.1. and E.2. for Existing Aerial Contour Maps of the Phase I area). Phase I of the Plan is the highest priority DRAFT MAY 18, 2004 16
