BLUFFS � � Location , � The B�luff acquisition of approximately sixty-two acres is located . within the City of St. Paul about three znd one half miles east of � do�,�n�o��rn St. ��„', .

Access The Bluff study area is readily accessible to the residents of St. Paul as well� as residents bf Ramsey County's northern suburbs. Interstate Highways 94 and 494, and State Highway 61-10 are major access routes to the area. lipper and Lower Afton Roads provide local access from the . � surrounding neighborhoods by intersecting with north - south thoroughfares such as White Bear Avenue, McKnight Road, and Century Avenue. Site Analysis The Bluff study area affords an opportunity to secure for public � open space, a unique metropolitan natuNal rescurce - a pertion of the � Mississippi River bluffs. Spared from development 6y the lack of local services , the bluff study area has commanding views ofi downtown St. Paul , Pig's Eye Lake, and the Mississippi River valley. � Ten residences exist on the sixty-two acres , with a majority of this land presently being utilized for farming. The land generally is flat with few trees , except along the bluff line and slopes , which are heavily wooded.� The bluffs are vunerable to misuse and in the past, mining operations for gravel have left open scars which have eroded and become unsightly. The bluff area is adjacent to two existing parks - the. City of St. Paul 's_ Battle Creek Park and Ramsey County's Battle Creek Park (presently undeveloped. ) Both parks would compliment the proposed ' open space acquisition. They now provide or have the potential to provide many recreational opportunities. Open Space Considerations . � - The Bluff study area is a unique na�`ural resource and landscape element in an urbanized metropolitan area. - The Bluff study area provides a highly urban area Uaith open � ' snace and recreation potential . _ ('r,�c -�-:r�nf� i±� �^vC?':'C."� �, �t�'l�i . _ .,, ��:�? ��`... r'. ,,. :,.:J r.vuli�,j� c.i1C� i ts proximi ty to downtown St. Paul , the si te i s under i mmedi ate develonmQnt oressures. - Acquisition of the Bluff study area would enable Ramsey County to protect and manage the bluffs for open space and environmental purposes. � � B.

The area is being served:by Interstates 94 and 494 � and State Highway 61-10 at the regional level and by Upper and Lower ' � Afton Roads at the local level . Site Analysis - The Hill study area is a unique topographic feature of the Mississippi River valley in Ramsey County. The hill rises about seventy - feet above the bluff lire of th� adjeining B1!�ff stud�r area, thereby - providing extensive views of downtown St. Paul , Pig's Eye Lake, and the Mississippi River valley. � The study area possesses eY�vironment.al qualities that must be protected and managed. A majority of the site has severe slopes that are heavily wooded. The trees protect the vunerable slopes from erosion, provide upland trails and wildlife habitat, and offer a pleasing contra"st to the more urban areas of Ramsey County. Fortunately the site has retained its natural character due to its development restrictions. Present development has been limited to six homes located along Battle Creek Road. , The Hi11 study area adjoins to the east, the Ramsey County Battle ' Creek Park which offers opportunities for winter sports activities such as skiing and sledding and passive recreation in the summer. The Hill and Bluffs supplement one another, creating an open space area with diverse environmental qualities and recreational potential . Open Space Considerations � - The Hill siudy area rep.reser�ts an unusual la�d for;�� adjacent to the Mississippi River valley and must be preserved as a Ramsey County � landscape feature. � - A �r,��,�r;t� �f ±r;p u;11 st��y ar�, !,�� J e,,,ere t��ory�arhy t•;h�ch ' must be protected. � - The Ni 11 adjoi ns and 4roul d compl i m;ent the exi sti ng Ramsey County Ea±±le �r��!: pa�!<.

' r'GUi d1i(:t i°id�11i::VJ00d.� Acces s The "40" study area , as are the previous study areas, is readily accessible to the residents of Ramsey County. Interstates 94 and 494 and State Highway 61-10 provide regional access routes. McKnight Avenue, a major north - south arter�ial , connects the study area to major east - west routes , Interstates 94 and 494, and Upper and Lower Afton Roads. Site Analysis ' The "40" study area is approximately forty acres ot open land . surrounded by Ramsey County Battle Creek Park. It is gently rolling land which is utilized primarily for farming. A set of buildings is � located along McKnight Road. The site does contain a drainage way for vrater from the Upper Afton Road area of the Battle Creek watershed. The water flow is intermittent and flows under Upper Afton Road by culv.ert and then by natural drainage channels into Battle Creek. Open Space Considerations - Portions of the "40" study area have the potential to provide ponding areas for the Battle Creek watershed. - Development of the site would have adverse affects (aesthetic and recreational programming) upon the existing Ramsey County Battle ' Creek Park. - The site would supplement the existing park land - Ramsey County and the City of St. Paul.

Access As in the previous study areas, this area is served by Interstates 94 and 494 and State Highway 61-10. Local access is by .Upper and Lower Afton Roads and by Century Avenue. . - Site Analysis The primary landscape feature of �he study area is a drainage way ' which collects water from the south side of Lower Afton Road. Along the drainage way t��ere are scattered trees and small ponds. The • acquisition would involve three homes along Century Avenue. Open Space Considerations � - The site does serve as a drainage way and ponding area for the Battle Creek watershed. � . - It provides a link between Ramsey County Battle Creek Park and the lands around Battle Creek Lake in Woodberry. - It would put into public ownership all undeveloped lands in an area defined by Upper Afton Road, Century Avenue, Lower Afton Road, and McKnight Road; allowing flexibility in future programming of the defined area for open space and public recreation. . , � OFFICE OF THE LAND COMMISSlONER • COUNTY OF RAh�4SEY 286 Court House, 55102 ST.

Qpen space cas�`;serva �.n area in many ways. It provides a shelter from a concrete enviorriment wh�re people can enjoy the variety of nature. It also provides and proteets nat�zral xater storage and drainage areas, and can help control the use of the laud. We must use foresight now in planning for our futuxe needs. Ramsey County is the smallest and most urbanized County in Ayi..nnesota. Yet we l�ow the future will bring increased population pressures, and we must insure adequate �reen space. The Open Space Program is supported by our taxes and �ome of this green space must be provided in the City where the urban pressures axe greatest. Ou� +ippor- twaities are becomin� fewer to protect t�ur resources, and many more will be lost if some positive action to �reserve them is not taken now. Battle Creek is a good example of inadequate planning fox our resources. It is the only creek ieft in St. Paul and one of three left in R.a�sey County. It is in lands regulated by nine units of government but none have adequately protected it. We are losing our bea�xtiful park in St. Paul by erosion and siltation from uncontrolled develop�aent nearby an.d upstream. If steps are not taken soon it will be too late to. save our creek and our park. One step to be �aken should be the acquisition of surrounding lands as recommended by Ramsey County Park and Open Space. These open space lands will provide a buffer for the creek from the urbanization nearby. This will help protect one of St. Pauls truly unique places, as well as provide a recreation area in a paxt of the City tha.t is �rowing rapidly. As each of these places is preserved the whole City is enriched and the quality of life_ in St. Paul is thereby enhanced. Property Owners in Battle Creek Open Space Site - 1972 R. A. & Patricia M.
