ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if the Fire Marshall had reviewed the plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Wurdeman reported the Fire Marshall had not yet reviewed the plans. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant commented on the tight turning radiuses that were being proposed and stated it <br />would be important for the Fire Marshall to provide comments on the proposed plan. He <br />explained at this time he was feeling uneasy about supporting this plan. He requested further <br />information regarding the loud speakers that would be used at the coffee shop. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier reported further information would be known about the loud <br />speaker when the preliminary plans were submitted to staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden suggested the bank and the coffee shop be eliminated from the project <br />as this would free up more space for landscaping and parking. He encouraged the developer to <br />reconsider the plans so the Council could support the project. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if the applicant had any questions for the Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Wurdeman thanked the Council for their time and stated he would work to address the <br />parking, snow removal and landscaping concerns that had been brought up by the Council. <br /> <br />2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes requested the Mounds View School District be invited to a future work <br />session in order to discuss the pedestrian crossing at the Mounds View High School. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked when the Council would receive an update on water meters. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden discussed the water bill envelopes and questioned when the City would <br />be done using them. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault explained staff had no intention of going away from that type of <br />envelope. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would like the Council to discuss the CDBG funds for Arden <br />Manor, along with the additional CARES funds at a future work session. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault discussed when the City would receive the additional funding from <br />the federal government noting these funds should funnel down from the County in May. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
