ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – April 9, 2014 13 <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman asked if the City was putting the cart before the horse on this <br />matter. He stated the City was dealing with the Federal Government on the TCAAP property. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler stated that the Arden Hills Army Training Site was federally held <br />land. However, one of the main reasons for the rezoning was to create consistency between the <br />City’s official zoning map and the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the City does not want to <br />run the risk of federal land being sold for residential development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa did not object to the rezoning at this time. <br /> <br />Chair Larson asked if the City received any comments from the Army. <br />Associate Planner Bachler reported the City did not receive any comments from the Army. <br /> <br />Chair Larson opened the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Larson invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. <br /> <br />There being no comment Chair Larson closed the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa moved and Commissioner Thompson seconded a motion to <br />recommend approval of Ordinance Number 14-005 in Planning Case 14-002 for an <br />amendment to Section 1315.01 – Zoning Map of the Arden Hills Zoning Code as presented <br />in the April 9, 2014, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously <br />(6-0). <br /> <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Chair Larson indicated the Commission and staff picnic would be held on July 22, 2014 at 6:00 <br />p.m. at Cummings Park. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A.
