ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—January 10, 2011 5 4.C. Resolution 2011-003: Awarding the Indian Oaks Court Pond Maintenance Project to Belair Excavating, Inc. of New Brighton, Minnesota, in the Amount of $18,713.00 (continued) City Administrator Patrick Klaers stated the $18,713.00 for Belair Excavating is for the pond dredging only. The $25,913.00 in the Council Memo includes additional costs such as engineering and contingencies and is only an estimated amount. MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Werner seconded a motion to Adopt Resolution 2011-003: Awarding the Indian Oaks Court Pond Maintenance Project to Belair Excavating, Inc. of New Brighton, Minnesota, in the Amount of$18,713.00. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Amend Sections 1305.04 and 1320 in the Zoning Code City Planner Beekman stated in June 2010, the City approved additions to the Zoning Code that pertained to that portion of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) that is anticipated to be sold for redevelopment. The purpose of the Zoning Code additions was to lay out a process by which a future developer would work with the City to obtain approval for a master plan, and each subsequent future phase of development on the property. The City also rezoned the property to two new zoning districts, Mixed Residential and Mixed Business, which correspond with the future land use designations in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Through the process of drafting the new zoning regulations for the TCAAP property, a number of opportunities for improvements within other sections of the Code, and for other districts within the City, became evident. It was - determined that once the TCAAP regulations were finalized and in place, Staff would begin working on incorporating the updates into the rest of the Code. Four different sections of the Code are affected: Section 1305.01, Section 1320.05, Section 1320.06, and Section 1320.14. Updating the district requirements chart and the PUD process are straightforward and have minimal impact on the City's other Zoning Districts. The definitions section of the Code has been revised to remove erroneous definitions, the language of old definitions updated, and incorporated new definitions that were written for the TCAAP property. Consolidating the land use charts has been difficult. Because the TCAAP land use chart includes new land use classifications and eliminates out-dated land uses, the City's existing land use chart requires significant modification in order to make it possible to combine the two. The modified land uses, and their definitions within Section 1305.04, were previously approved by the Planning Commission and City Council for TCAAP and are not under review as part of this update. Rather, the classifications for each of those land uses with the City's other Zoning Districts outside of TCAAP are the focus of this revision. Councilmember Holmes stated on page 2 of 29, in the definitions, Subd. 10. Animals, wild. is underlined. She asked if this was a new definition.
