61 Arden Hills' newest building development (another one???) is called Wynridge and is located qn 30 acres between Hamline and Fernwood, south of Amble Road. The preliminary plat is for 55 single-family dwellings. Both the Planning Commission and Council are concerned about the traffic flow, particularly the exits onto Hamline and onto Lexington. It was suggested that the City might eventually have to consider up -grading Hamline to serve adequately the traffic it will someday carry. The Wynridge development is the last open land between Hamlin* and Lexington north of F and south of 96. Right now, Arden Hills has 13 areas in various stages of development. Here is a quick list of them, with the number of single-family resident lots contained in eachs Chatham (150)9 Edgewater South (10), Heights of Lake Johanna (21)9 Barth Lake Estates (113)9 Karth Lake Hills (21)9 Briarknoll (96)9 McClungs First Addition (11)9 Janet Estates (15) WestWest (22 . Karth Lake Estates W ), Busssrd's Round Lake (22eiv No. 3 4 (34), Weaver Oak Heights (3), Valentine ( ), and Wyndridge (55). This makes a grand total of 555 new homes. For the first four months of this year, Arden Hills has issued building permits for residential homes and/or improvements to the tune of $393609290. Think of the tax money! e There will be a Public Hearing on the water improvement into the North- west portion of the Village on June 19th at 7830 p.m, at the Village Hall. We've already had so much discussion and dissention on the proposed route of this water line that the Council changed the original plans. Now the people on the west side of Round Lake are wondering where their proposed water has gone. Anyway, if you're interested, please come. The residents directly affected will be notified by mail of this Hearing. Had another interesting phone call this months a young gentleman called to ask just why Arden Hills does not have cable TV? Since I had never really considered the question, I had no answer. He wanted to know if we had some sort of law against it. We finally decided that probably not enough people are interested.
