ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—FEBRUARY 29, 2016 5 <br /> Mayor Grant asked if there was a window type that could be installed without cutting into the tip <br /> up panels. <br /> Mr. Roberts commented on several window-type products that may work on this building. <br /> Councilmember Wicklund believed there was consensus of the Council to grant the temporary <br /> occupancy permits and that the only issue that remained was with the screening of the building. <br /> Mayor Grant agreed this was the direction of the Council. <br /> Councilmember Holden requested that the developer still pursue some type of window medium <br /> that could be adhered to the exterior of the building. <br /> Mr. Roberts supported the building being further screened and stated he did not want to attract <br /> undo attention to the building with fake windows. He wanted the building to blend into the <br /> corner. <br /> Mayor Grant stated there was general agreement for staff to work.with the developer on <br /> additional screening. <br /> Councilmember Holden requested that this item be reviewed by the Council at a future meeting. <br /> Councilmember Holmes did not believe the matter had to come back to the City Council. She <br /> encouraged the Council to work with Roberts Management on this issue given their level of <br /> commitment to the City of Arden Hills. <br /> Mayor Grant agreed, stating Lexington Station was a high quality development in the City. <br /> Councilmember McClung supported Councilmember Holmes. While he was upset the approved <br /> plans were not followed, he understood that Roberts Management had completed great work in <br /> the community. He did not anticipate the developer would make the same mistake again in Arden <br /> Hills. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher reported this matter would have to come back <br /> to the City Council for a PUD amendment. <br /> Mayor Grant recommended the item be brought back to the Council on a future Consent <br /> Calendar and directed staff to move forward with granting temporary occupancy permits. <br /> Mr. Roberts thanked the Council for working with him to resolve this issue. <br /> 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <br /> Councilmember Holden requested staff investigate the GreenStep Cities Program. <br /> Mayor Grant was in favor of the Council reviewing its previous goals. <br />
