ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—DECEMBER 21, 2015 5 <br /> A discussion ensued regarding how the solar array project would fit in with TCAAP and providing <br /> power to that development area. <br /> C. Sandeen Road On-Street Parking <br /> Associate Planner Bachler stated City staff had received a concern from a resident regarding on-street <br /> parking on Sandeen Road. He said there were also concerns regarding emergency vehicle access in <br /> addition to Public Works staff concerns regarding difficulties with snow removal. He stated that staff <br /> mailed a survey to residents along Sandeen Road in October to gather information on current needs for <br /> street parking and to determine if there would be support to limit street parking on Sandeen Road. The <br /> survey results indicated most residents occasionally use on-street parking, with two properties showing <br /> regular use of on-street parking. He said the City continues to work with the Ramsey County Sheriff's <br /> Department to enforce parking regulations. <br /> Associate Planner Bachler stated that City staff recommends posting no parking signs near the <br /> northern intersection of Sandeen Road with Lake Johanna Boulevard. He stated the properties located <br /> at 3280 Sandeen Road and 3290 Lake Johanna Boulevard reported daily on-street parking and that <br /> 3290 Lake Johanna Boulevard operates an in-home business and uses on-street parking for employees <br /> and clients. He also said that City staff will communicate directly with these two properties regarding <br /> the parking regulations. <br /> Associate Planner Bachler asked for feedback from the City Council. <br /> A discussion ensued regarding clarification of safety issues as they pertain to emergency vehicles on <br /> Sandeen Road, the characteristics of this road and the properties thereon, and suggested solutions for <br /> parking issues. <br /> Associate Planner Bachler stated staff will work with the Public Works department to post no parking <br /> signs along the curve on Sandeen Road, work with the Sheriff's department to step up enforcement, <br /> and work closely with the two properties that utilize on-street parking. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated it would be helpful to Public Works if the curve on <br /> Sandeen Road allowed more space for plowing. He suggested posting no parking signs on both sides of <br /> Sandeen Road to the southerly properly line of 3290 Lake Johanna Boulevard. <br /> Mayor Grant requested that both the Police and Fire departments be consulted regarding the proposed <br /> change, and that they concur before any signs are posted. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated staff will consult with the City Attorney <br /> regarding compliance of the property with the home business located at 3290 Lake Johanna Boulevard. <br /> D.
