ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – OCTOBER 27, 2014 4 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that while these tools would provide <br />greater control over densities and types of housing in specific areas, they would decrease <br />flexibility to developers and the ability to mix types of housing products within neighborhoods. <br />Staff requests that the City Council weigh the benefits and challenges to each approach and <br />provide policy direction. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated that the Council has not talked to a condo or senior housing builder. He <br />requested further clarification on the definition of a twinhome. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher indicated that a twinhome differed from a <br />manor home. She stated that a twinhome was a duplex or home with two units. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended that staff make contact with a senior housing and condominium <br />builder in order for the Council to have a conversation regarding these housing styles. He further <br />discussed the current zoning for the Hill and Creek neighborhoods and expressed concern with the <br />lack of control the City had on the number of units per acre. He wanted to see an upper limit for <br />density to be set while still allowing future developers some flexibility. <br /> <br />Joel Jamnik, City Attorney, suggested that the Council frequently “look back” and review the <br />density and development of TCAAP. This way, if the Council was not satisfied with the progress <br />after five or ten years, modifications to the zoning districts could be made. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding potential development scenarios for the Hill and Creek <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant wanted to ensure that the Council had some sort of structure in place to allow the <br />City’s vision for TCAAP to be reasonably realized. He liked the idea of flexibility; however, he <br />wanted the City to be protected against “worst case scenarios”. He was in favor of the Council <br />further examining its vision in order to put zoning in place to realize this vision. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung indicated that the current zoning structure has created an imperfect <br />situation and does not properly address the Council’s concerns. <br /> <br />Mr. Jamnik commented that even without the JDA, the City would take a reactive approach to <br />future development. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant suggested that the Council consider its vision for product mix and density within <br />the Hill and Creek. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden wanted to see senior housing brought into the housing mix on the <br />TCAAP site. <br /> <br />Mr. Jamnik believed that senior housing needs would be driven by market demand. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung asked if staff thought the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) would <br />be completed by the third meeting in December. <br />
