ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—OCTOBER 10, 2016 4 Mr. Stutz asked that the Council allow LP Smartside as an approved building material. He noted this was a locally made product that was an equivalent product to HardiePlank. He then reviewed Table 7.2 with the Council. Councilmember Wicklund recommended the percentages within Table 7.2 be tweaked. Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the sign requirements within the TRC. Councilmember Wicklund asked who the Master Developer would be using for directional signage. Mr. Lux stated this contractor has yet to be determined. Ms. Kvilvang commented on the next steps for the TRC. Councilmember Holden questioned if the pitch of the roofs within the neighborhoods would allow for solar panels. Mr. Stutz stated he would have to review this further and would report back to the City Council. He explained that at times it was not about the pitch of the roof, but rather the orientation. Mr. Lux thanked the Council for their input this evening. Ms. Kvilvang noted the next meeting for the City Council to discuss the Town Center would be October 17, 2016. Councilmember Holmes believed it would be important for the Council to begin to review the financial responsibility of the City for the TCAAP site. Mayor Grant stated he had this same discussion with Ms. Kvilvang and was interested in learning more about what the City's costs would be for the project. Ms. Kvilvang indicated she could work with Alatus based on the current plans to create a financial plan for the City. Councilmember Holmes requested that an enhanced water feature be discussed at the next meeting as well. Councilmember Wicklund questioned how much more time was needed in order to approve the revised TRC. Ms. Kvilvang anticipated the TRC would not be approved for at least another month. Mr. Lux hoped to receive a soft approval from the Council in the next month and recommended the financials follow that process.
