ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 4, 2014 13 Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that the City Council will review the revised draft master plan land use map on June 16, 2014. Planning Commission comments on the revised map will be conveyed to the Council at that time. The City Council is tentatively scheduled to approve the master plan land use map on June 30, 2014. Community Development Director Hutmacher explained that the public comment period for the draft AUAR and Mitigation Plan ended on May 28, 2014. Comments were received from Mr. Lyle Salmela, the City of Shoreview, the Minnesota Department of Health, MnDOT, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the Metropolitan Council. City staff and consultants are reviewing the comments to determine how they should be reflected in the final draft document. The City Council will review the final draft AUAR and Mitigation Plan on June 30, 2014, and is tentatively scheduled to approve the final document on July 28, 2014. Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the team of Kimley-Horn and Associates and Wenck Associates was selected by Ramsey County and the City of Arden Hills for the development and design of the TCAAP Redevelopment Site Infrastructure. Their scope of services addresses design of public infrastructure including roadways, drainage, and stormwater management features, and utilities to support the redevelopment. The consultants will spend the next several months developing preliminary design layouts for the Spine Road, thumb road connection to County Road I, regional stormwater management system, grading plan, mitigated wetlands, and sanitary sewer and water supply systems. Their work will require close coordination with ongoing planning and remediation activities and development of the adjacent interchange on County Road H at I-35W. Community Development Director Hutmacher noted that the preliminary designs will enable the consultant team to develop refined construction cost estimates to assist in the development of an infrastructure financing plan. The consultant team will also ultimately prepare construction documents for public bidding of the site infrastructure improvements. Community Development Director Hutmacher commented that with City Council approval of the master plan land use map tentatively scheduled for June 30, 2014, staff and consultants are beginning to schedule work for the regulations and policies component of the master planning process. Topics for Planning Commission and City Council work session discussions will be identified in the next month. Community Development Director Hutmacher indicated that the JDA approved the issuance of an Energy Plan that would review energy redundancy and alternative energy forms on TCAAP. She explained a task force would be appointed to assist with this initiative. ADJOURN Commissioner Holewa moved, seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman, to adjourn the June 4, 2014, Planning Commission Meeting at 8:24 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (6-0).
