ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—AUGUST 26, 2013 2 <br /> 3. STAFF COMMENTS <br /> A. TCAAP Update <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that all but one building will be <br /> demolished by mid-September on the TCAAP property. She indicated that Building 502 was in <br /> need of asbestos abatement and demolition would occur in the spring of 2014. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher noted the first TCAAP Master Plan open house <br /> event is scheduled for Tuesday, September 17, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the Marsden Room of the <br /> Ramsey County Public Works facility. At this time, the consultants are still in the "discovery" <br /> phase of the project and will not be prepared to present findings. Instead, information on how this <br /> project differs from earlier redevelopment efforts (i.e., market, access points) will be presented <br /> and public input is encouraged. RSVPs are not required, and attendees may arrive at any time <br /> during the event. <br /> B. Transportation Update <br /> Public Works Director Maurer reviewed several photos with the Council which showed the <br /> progress of the Highway 10 and County Road 96 road construction project. He reported the <br /> contractor has started to work on the retaining walls, and one lane of concrete work along <br /> Highway 10 is complete. <br /> Mayor Grant asked if the road construction project was still on schedule. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer explained that the project will be substantially complete and <br /> open for traffic this fall, which is right on the revised schedule. He noted that the fencing and <br /> trails would be finalized in the spring of 2014. <br /> C. State of the City Update <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the State of the City will be held on <br /> Thursday, September 12, 2013, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at Flaherty's Arden Bowl. She explained <br /> that businesses and residents are encouraged to attend. It was noted that Councilmembers will <br /> give presentations on the TCAAP project, planned improvements to County Road E, current <br /> development projects and current transportation projects. <br /> 4.
