ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 26, 2021 21 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes reported the Council does not know anything about the scoreboard. She <br />supported this item being tabled because the Council did not have enough information regarding <br />this request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented she thought Planning Consultant Kansier had stated the <br />plaza was not included in the plans that were being approved. She indicated she was confused as <br />well. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned how the Planning Commission approved this request without <br />understanding the request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated she watched the Planning Commission meeting and wrote down <br />her questions and noted the Planning Commission did not address the items that were being <br />approved. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated she was the Council Liaison at the recent Planning <br />Commission meeting and the items that were presented to the Commission were the track, the turf <br />field, the practice field and the lighting. She stated she too was confused as to what was being <br />approved. <br /> <br />Mr. Pomeroy reported he was surprised by this conversation. He explained he has had his plans <br />into the City since February and noted a neighborhood meeting was held. He indicated he has <br />answered questions of staff and everything was spelled out in the plans. He stated he was not <br />trying to hide anything within this project. He commented the lighting was typically the issue that <br />requires the most investigation but noted all foot candle information had been provided to the <br />City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden agreed the Council had the plans, but did not understand why staff was <br />stating Bethel would not be moving forward with some aspects of the plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Pomeroy indicated in this instance, staff was incorrect. He noted the information was <br />presented correctly at the Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier explained she does not have plans for the scoreboard. She stated <br />she called today to get additional information and was told the sound system was not moving <br />forward. <br /> <br />Mr. Pomeroy commented this project could come down to budgeting but noted all items would <br />be included. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned where the plans for the scoreboard were. <br /> <br />Mr. Pomeroy reported these plans were detailed on Sheet C 2.3 detail 12, noting the exact type <br />was specified. He commented the general height and I-beam size was spelled out on this page. He <br />indicated he originally submitted his plans to Mike Mrosla. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the original scoreboard was being replaced.
