RpENHILLs <br />Approved: July 11, 2011 <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING <br />JUNE 13, 2011 <br />9:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS <br />CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL <br />Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor David Grant called to order the City <br />Council work session meeting at 9:00 p.m. <br />Present: Mayor David Grant; Councilmembers Fran Holmes, Brenda Holden, Ed <br />Werner and Nicholas Tamble. <br />Absent: None. <br />Also present: City Administrator Patrick Klaers; Community Development Director Jill <br />Hutmacher; and Recording Secretary Tina Borg. <br />AGENDA ITEMS <br />A. Future land use /development for the old City Hall site <br />Community Development Director Jill Hutmacher stated this discussion was to provide Staff <br />with some direction for the future use of this property so that Staff may prepare the property for <br />future marketing and sale. Staff does not foresee the sale of this property in the near future but <br />would like to be sure the land is ready for sale and the City has a vision of what they would like to <br />see happen on this property. This will make the marketing of the property easier once the market <br />is better. <br />Councilmember Holden stated there had been a previous development proposal for this property <br />that was presented as medium density but it turned out to be high density. The residents have <br />expressed they do not want to see businesses in this location but would be open to having <br />townhomes located on this parcel. There had been concerns with the access to this property but <br />this may change with the access to Hamline changing with the I -694 Project. It is difficult to <br />determine what the City would like to see on this parcel with the potential Stadium development <br />happening on TCAAP. The property was cleaned up a couple of years ago and there are no brown <br />fields on the parcel. City Planner Beekman should be able to find the information pertaining to <br />the cleanup of the property. <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher stated she would follow up with City Planner <br />Beekman to find out if the City had received a Report of Completion from the Minnesota <br />Pollution Control Agency. <br />
