ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 22, 2013 5 Councilmember McClung stated that most suburban four-bedroom apartments are approximately 1,400 square feet, and two-bedroom units would be anywhere from 1,100 to 1,200 square feet. He pointed out that the minimum unit size of 600 square feet for efficiencies with an additional 100 square feet for each bedroom means that a four-bedroom apartment in Arden Hills would only have to be 1,000 square feet in size. He thinks the City should be looking at having slightly larger square footage apartments. He wants to be careful that the City does not agree to allow units that are too small. Councilmember Werner indicated that he is open to larger apartment sizes. Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that staff could come back with more information regarding new multi-family construction in suburban communities. Councilmember Holmes inquired if Ramsey County did a market study. She stated that it seems like the City should also be looking at other things for TCAAP regarding design standards, such as brick, windows, and sidewalks. City Planner Beekman noted that those items will be addressed through the Master Planning process. D. Proposed Municipal Code Amendment to Section 330.02 Gambling Deputy Clerk Dietl stated that a gambling and premise permit received by the Spring Lake Park Lions was presented at the City Council meeting on November 26, 2012, for approval. She noted that the Council tabled the item for further discussion. Deputy Clerk Dietl explained that the Council discussed the gambling section of City Code at its work session on December 17, 2012. The Council provided direction to staff offering proposed amendments to the City Code language. Deputy Clerk Dietl presented a redlined version of Section 330.02 Gambling of the City Code containing the revisions suggested by the Council, as well as information on each organization licensed in the City of Arden Hills' list of expenditures. She explained that the fees to the City of Arden Hills sometimes appear to be less than fees paid to other cities; however, the fees are based on sales earnings where the organization's premise permits are held. If Arden Hills is being paid less than another city, it is because the gambling activities in the other city are earning more money. Councilmember Holden questioned why other cities are receiving a three percent local gambling tax and the City of Arden Hills is not. City Administrator Klaers explained that Subd. 9 of Section 330.02 states that the Council may impose a local gambling tax up to three percent on all organizations licensed to conduct lawful gambling within the City. He noted that although our Code states that we can, the Council at this point has not chosen to impose the fee when granting the license.
