ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — OCTOBER 28, 2019 7 to conduct a topographic survey, develop a hydraulic model for existing storm sewer, review alternatives, and provide recommendations to resolve the local flooding issues along Shorewood Drive was reviewed with the Council. Councilmember Holden asked if the estimated cost for these projects was reasonable. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained the projected expenses were below the engineers estimate and were very reasonable for the extent of work that would be completed. MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to Approve Professional Services Agreements with HR Green for Shorewood Drive (Survey and Storm Sewer Improvements Study) and Grant Road & Fairview Avenue (Survey and Existing Stormwater Overflow Path Assessment). Councilmember Holden stated she did not understand what was reasonable or not reasonable for this expense and therefore would not be supporting the motion. Councilmember Holmes recommended billing rates and the estimated billable hours be included in future proposals. Councilmember Holden called the question. The motion carried 4-1 (Councilmember Holden opposed). 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS A.

This property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and is part of the Mounds View High School Planned Unit Development. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented when construction of the high school improvements began, the School District realized they did not have an interim location for the weight room/fitness center. This room is generally used for fitness and weight training as part of the overall health and wellness curriculum. The school officials looked for a temporary location and decided to use the existing building at 1901 Lake Valentine Road. The School District worked with the Fire Marshall and building inspections staff to bring the space into conformance with building and life safety codes. During that time school and planning staff met to discuss approval options. As a result, the school district has submitted this application for an IUP. A temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued, pending City Council approval of
