ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — MAY 16, 2011 15 take the appropriate action. He added that allowing MnDOT to proceed gets them a month ahead in their schedule and the City never had any intention of trying to stop the project completely. Mayor Grant stated he doesn't have a problem with this request but he would like to see the design for the pedestrian walkway on Lexington to ensure that the ten feet is on the Arden Hills side. Mr. Maurer stated we won't see the design before the City has to make a decision or before it goes to the Appeal Board. After some discussion, the Council consensus was to allow MnDOT to advertise for bids as requested. TCAAP / Stadium Questions City Administrator Klaers requested that Council provide feedback on the memo regarding the most frequently asked questions and talking points for the stadium issue by the end of the day Tuesday. Bethel / Old Library Site City Planner Beekman explained that Bethel University has a purchase agreement for the old library site in Arden Hills contingent on Council approval of their plan. She explained what they're preliminary looking at is demolishing the Baptist Conference site and constructing an office building with some classrooms. They are interested in doing a concept PUD review. Ms. Beekman was looking for guidance from the Council as to when they want to review this matter. She asked if this could be added to the Council's June work session which is typically dedicated to CIP. She explained that because Bethel is a paying applicant, she would like to get them scheduled in a timely manner. Mayor Grant questioned the zoning on this site. Ms. Beekman responded that the Baptist Conference location is zoned Neighborhood Business and the former library site is zoned residential so a rezoning would be required. The consensus of the Council was that this is a residential area and the property should continue to be zoned residential. Ms. Beekman stated she can give Bethel that feedback, but she pointed out that they're looking at a multi- million dollar investment and would probably prefer to hear directly from Council rather than from Staff. Councilmember Tamble commented that he understands the area is residential, but Bethel isn't proposing to put up a gas station, and there had been a library on this site. Further discussion ensued and it was determined that a 6:30 work session be set prior to the Council's first meeting in June.
