ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—AUGUST 11, 2014 5 <br /> Councilmember McClung expressed concern with how some developers may feel disadvantaged <br /> by not being included in the panel. <br /> Ms. Kvilvang reported that typically after seeking input from developers in a panel setting, cities <br /> complete an RFP process that would be open to all developers. <br /> Mayor Grant anticipated that the County would be interested in selling the TCAAP property to <br /> the highest bidder and it would not matter who participated in the developer's panel. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that the JDA recommended that the City pursue the developer's <br /> panel. She explained that the City could do what it wished with the information gathered from the <br /> developers. She clarified that this would be a City-designed team and the County would not be a <br /> member of the panel. <br /> Ms. Kvilvang agreed that the County would not be involved in the development of the design <br /> standards for the site. <br /> Mayor Grant commented that the City has hired Maxfield in the past to complete market <br /> research for the TCAAP property. He saw the benefit of gathering information from local <br /> developers as they had expertise in the development demands in the metro area. He agreed with <br /> Councilmember Holden that the Council could use the information gathered as it saw fit. <br /> Ms. Kvilvang reviewed the desired list of developers that would be asked to participate on the <br /> panel with the Council. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned how the Council should proceed with this item. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher recommended that the Council make a motion <br /> to appoint a TCAAP Developer Advisory Panel as listed in the staff memo with the understanding <br /> that this process will be led by City staff working with the City Council to draft the design <br /> standards, regulations and policies. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br /> appoint a TCAAP Developer Advisory Panel as listed in the staff memo with <br /> the understanding that this process will be led by City staff working with the <br /> City Council to draft the design standards, regulations and policies. The <br /> motion carried (4-0). <br /> 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> None. <br /> 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember McClung reported that he would miss the September 8th Council meeting. <br />
