ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - May 20,2019 <br />Mr. Roberts mentioned that he has had interest in the property from other storage facility groups <br />and he felt this is the nicest product. <br />City Planner Mrosla said the next steps would be to look into how the use fits in the district and <br />determine how to permit and regulate the use. <br />Councilmember Holden wondered about payment for Road Lake Road as it wasn't assessed at <br />the time it was built. <br />City Planner Mrosla said he will research what happened at that time. <br />Councilmember Holden stated she thinks the project is a good idea, but not with a lot of <br />variances. <br />Councilmember McClung agreed. <br />Councilmember Holmes was fine with the proposal. <br />Councilmember Scott felt the area has a demand for storage and without a lot of practical uses <br />for the site he is willing to be flexible. <br />Mayor Grant liked the upscale facility and isn't concemed about the number of variances as he <br />would be if they are large ones. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding signage lighting and possible hours of operation. <br />B. Tobacco 21 Planning <br />City Administrator Perrault stated this item was requested to be brought forward for further <br />discussion. The City Council acted at the March 25,2019 meeting to restrict tobacco sales within <br />Arden Hills to age 2l and prohibited selling flavored tobacco products. The item is being brought <br />forward to discuss if they would like to consider changing the ordinance to allow businesses that <br />derive 90oh or more of their revenue from tobacco sales to sell flavored products. He noted that if <br />they decide to revisit the ordinance they will need to have a 30 day notice of public hearing. <br />Councilmember Holden asked if changing the date of the official enforcement would require the <br />same process. <br />City Administrator Perrault responded that they had talked with the City Attorney and if the <br />Council wanted to change the ordinance he recommended delaying enforcing the ban until August <br />L The Attorney didn't say they would need to take formal action to delay the enforcement. <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if they could move forward with age 21 but delay the flavors for <br />reconsideration. <br />City Administrator Perrault said he would have to speak with the City Attorney depending on <br />how long a delay they would want. Substantial changes to the ordinance would trigger the public <br />hearing.
