Amendment carried. Amendment: Motion by Commission Grant seconded by Commissioner Holden to delete the “’s” from the term JDA’s Board on Page 3. Amendment carried. Amended motion carried. JDA Planning Process JDA Attorney Mike Norton advised he met with JDA staff in order to discuss the JDA planning process. He reviewed the agreed upon process in detail with the JDA. Commissioner Holden asked how the JDA would manage situations where changes made during the construction of a building that did not meet the requirements of the TRC. JDA Attorney Norton stated staff would hopefully catch these issues prior to any final approvals being granted. He noted that any buildings that were not constructed to plan specifications would come back to JDA staff and may be forwarded to the JDA board. Any significant code changes not meeting the requirements of the TRC would have to be reviewed by the Arden Hills City Council. Further discussion ensued regarding how the JDA would manage deviations from the TRC. JDA Attorney Norton advised that if the issue was outside of the jurisdiction of the JDA, the Arden Hills City Council would have to address the matter or amend the TRC. Mr. Olson stated discussed the development review flow chart noting this portion of the document could be further evaluated by the JDA in order to expedite the approval processes. Senior Planner Bachler commented the development review flow chart was also included in the TRC and has been provided to Alatus. Mr. Olson described how the approval process would differ for this project given the fact the County, Arden Hills, and the JDA were involved. Commissioner Holden encouraged the JDA staff to be very cautious of the 60 day review period required by State statute. Senior Planner Bachler understood that JDA staff may be reviewing multiple projects concurrently. He discussed the application review process that would be followed by staff for all projects and ways in which this process will be streamlined.
