ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—OCTOBER 31, 2016 2 <br /> were discussed. An updated copy of the TCAAP Regulating Plan was provided to the Council <br /> and staff requested comments or questions. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked where the theater could be located. <br /> Senior Planner Bachler reported a theater would be allowed in TC3 or TC2. <br /> Councilmember Holden discussed the zoning for Town Center. She wanted to see each block <br /> defined separately versus having TC1, TC2, and TC3. <br /> Discussion shifted to building height and allowable square footage. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned what the size of the foundation of the building would be. <br /> Bob Lux, Alatus, was uncertain of the exact size at this time. <br /> Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, stated the goal would be to have some towers with lower <br /> buildings in the Town Center. <br /> Councilmember Wicklund asked if 25% was enough room to a building foundation. <br /> Mr. Lux stated this was on the margin, but he was comfortable with the 25%. He provided <br /> further comment on the condo site. <br /> Councilmember Holmes understood the taller buildings within the Town Center could be ten <br /> stories or 130 feet in height. <br /> Mayor Grant had an issue with how the new plan would be presented to the public at the Open <br /> House on November 16, 201.6. <br /> Ms. Kvilvang commented a graphic of the previous zoning map could be provided. <br /> Mr. Lux described the work he was completing with the assistance of an architect to create <br /> realistic presentation boards for the Open House. <br /> Councilmember McClung indicated that he supported the plan and also supported flexibility. <br /> Mayor Grant understood this may not be the last conversation the Council would have regarding <br /> building height or density. I le asked for any further comments regarding this topic. <br /> Councilmember Holmes requested staff amend the TRC to read "130-foot maximum building <br /> height". <br /> The Council turned their discussion to the TC2 zoning district. <br /> Councilmember Holmes understood that this zoning district could have more 10 story buildings. <br />
