ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—NOVEMBER 24, 2014 6 <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding TCAAP zoning options. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned if the Planning Commission would review any of the <br /> proposed developments for TCAAP. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher explained that the City would not review any <br /> developments unless they were rejected by the JDA, at which time the developer could then <br /> approach the City. The City Council could make zoning amendments, but would not review <br /> individual development proposals. As is currently the situation, the Planning Commission would <br /> review proposed zoning amendments and make recommendations to the City Council. <br /> Councilmember Holmes expressed concern that the zoning regulations will restrict the options <br /> for developers. She stated that she preferred Option B. <br /> Councilmember Werner supported the additional flexibility offered in Option B. <br /> Councilmember Holden requested that the building height language for residential buildings be <br /> reviewed. <br /> Mayor Grant summarized that the Council was more in favor of Option B. He recommended <br /> staff review the minimum densities in Option B. He suggested that quality building materials also <br /> be considered for the TCAAP homes. <br /> B. Recycling RFP Discussion <br /> City Attorney Jamnik stated that the City has received a letter from the Dorsey & Whitney Law <br /> Firm representing Garbage Haulers for Citizen Choice (GHCC) and the McGrann Shea Carnival <br /> Straughn & Lamb Law Firm representing the National Waste & Recycling Association <br /> (NW&RA). The two letters that have been received are in regard to the recent RFP for <br /> Comprehensive Recycling Services. <br /> City Attorney Jamnik explained that the two letters were claiming that because the RFP asked <br /> for potential expansion of materials collected, that this triggers the State requirement for public <br /> notice. He stated that if the City moves forward with the RFP and expands the nature of the <br /> recycling program to include organics/yard waste/electronics there is a threat of litigation. <br /> City Attorney Jamnik reviewed the options available to the Council stating the RFP could be <br /> pulled back and the City could follow the statutory procedures for organized collection. These <br /> procedures typically take a year or more. Another option for the Council would be to continue <br /> with the RFP process and see if a lawsuit followed. <br /> City Attorney Jamnik recommended that the Council continue with the current RFP process but <br /> that the City not add any large scale options at this point. He discussed the overall larger issue <br /> facing the City, County and State regarding organics pick-up. He advised that if a contract were <br /> to be considered with a different set of collected materials, he would have to reevaluate his <br /> decision. <br /> Councilmember Werner supported the recommendation of staff. <br />
