ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – MAY 26, 2015 11 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden feared that everything would be coming back to the City for review. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik reported that if a developer devised plans that fell within the guidelines <br />designed by the City, the Council would not be required to review the plans. Only if the <br />developer goes outside of the lines would the Council be required to review the proposed plans. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned when the final size of each sub-district within TCAAP <br />would be set. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher explained that this would be completed when <br />the site was platted by the County. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to grant <br />preliminary approval of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) pending <br />public hearings and Metropolitan Council approval of the Comprehensive <br />Plan Amendment. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Woodburn second <br />a motion amending the density within the NB-3 Zoning District be <br />reduced to a maximum density of 6.75 units per acre. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden believed that this was a valuable amendment as it would require the <br />95% efficiency. She reviewed the location of the proposed change within the TRC. <br /> <br />The amendment carried 3-2 (Holmes and McClung opposed). <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden thanked staff for all of their work on the TRC over the past nine <br />months. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant agreed stating that he appreciated the efforts of the entire Planning staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if approval of the preliminary TRC required a 4/5’s vote. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher commented that the preliminary approval <br />required only a 3/5’s vote. <br /> <br />The amended motion carried 3-2 (McClung and Woodburn opposed). <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to <br />authorize staff to prepare the draft Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The <br />motion carried unanimously 4-1 (McClung opposed). <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to <br />authorize staff to prepare for public hearings.
