ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION— SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 3 <br /> Staff was looking for concurrence from the Council to proceed with the installation of this <br /> gateway sign. <br /> Councilmember Holden reported that she visited this intersection and believed that it was <br /> already well-lit and she did not believe it was worth the extra expense to light the sign. <br /> Councilmember Holmes expressed concern with the proposed reduced size of the sign. She <br /> supported the sign being lit. <br /> Mayor Grant didn't believe the sign logo or City brand should be altered even though the sign <br /> size was reduced. He suggested that the gateway sign be lit. <br /> Councilmember McClung opposed the gateway sign and its installation. <br /> Councilmember Werner supported the proposed intersection for a lit gateway sign. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned if this gateway sign could be put in the ground yet this fall. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer anticipated that the work could be done yet this fall. <br /> The Council directed staff to bring this item for formal Council approval at the regular meeting on <br /> October 13th. At this time, the majority of the Council agreed that plans should proceed for an <br /> internally lit gateway sign at the intersection of Cleveland and County Road D, with the correct <br /> tree location in the City logo. <br /> Mayor Grant adjourned the special work session at 6:58 p.m. to a regular meeting of the City <br /> Council with the understanding that the special work session would reconvene after the regular <br /> meeting. <br /> Mayor Grant reconvened the special work session at 8:58 p.m. <br /> C. TCAAP Zoning [Chapters 6-7 & Definitions (Chapter 4)] <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the Council heard discussion from <br /> residential developers at their work session on September 22, 2014. She requested City Council <br /> feedback on Chapters 6 and 7, particularly with regards to setbacks, lot sizes, and other <br /> development criteria. A spreadsheet comparing setbacks, building frontage, and building height <br /> requirements across the districts was reviewed. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that based on City Council discussion at <br /> previous meetings, Chapters 1-2 and 4-5 were currently being revised. Updated copies, as well as <br /> the updated comment tracker, should be available for discussion at an upcoming work session. <br /> Staff is working with the City and JDA Attorneys on revisions to Chapter 3 which will be <br /> discussed by the City Council on October 13, 2014. <br />
