ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 8 <br /> <br />development that was completed by Robert Thomas Homes in Lakeville that was similar to Rice <br />Creek Commons. He discussed the changes he would make to improve the Rice Creek Commons <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund questioned who would be maintaining the parks within TCAAP. <br /> <br />Mr. Stutz reported the majority of the parks would be maintained by homeowner’s associations, <br />while one park in the Creek neighborhood would be maintained by the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Lux explained he has driven through this neighborhood in Lakeville and he found it to be <br />unique and well laid out. He believed there was an impressive attention to detail which has made <br />the development highly successful. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung asked what percentage of the homes were completed by builders other <br />than Robert Thomas Homes. <br /> <br />Mr. Stutz estimated 20% of the homes were built by outside builders. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung inquired what percentage split Robert Thomas Homes as anticipating <br />for the TCAAP site. <br /> <br />Mr. Stutz believed there would be a 50/50 split between Robert Thomas Homes and other <br />builders for this development.

He recommended the condominium units be <br />constructed with concrete in order to provide high quality units that minimize noise and attract <br />higher end clientele. He provided further comment on the proposed density within Town Center. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund questioned if Alatus has been limiting the Town Center based on <br />what may get approved or what would fit the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Lux explained he was proposing buildings and density levels that were perfect for the site. <br />He commented that buildings over 13 stories required different mechanical systems and he was <br />not interested in pursuing this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes requested clarification on the Town Center plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Lux reviewed the placement of each of the buildings within the Town Center and noted the <br />theater had yet to be placed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden noted TCAAP had the highest elevation in Ramsey County and <br />requested the developer keep this in mind when developing the property.
