ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 8, 2021 17 <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Subramanian questioned if the Planning Commission should wait to hear from <br />the City Attorney as to how many variances would be required to build on this lot. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Wicklund stated the Commission could move in this direction and noted the <br />design of a building was quite complex. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jefferys commented the question before the Commission was if the sale of this <br />property was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She understood it was unfortunate that the <br />neighbors were told one thing, when in fact the sale of this land was consistent with the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Wicklund suggested a condition be added for approval that reads: The sale should <br />include an appraisal, a first right of approval to the neighbors north and south, prior to the land <br />going to the public for sale. He then questioned what would happen if the Commission were to <br />table action on this item in order to receive comment from the City Attorney regarding a <br />structured sale of the property. He clarified again for the record, there was no rush to take action <br />on this item. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Jagoe reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Wicklund supported the Commission tabling action on this Planning Case to seek <br />legal opinion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Subramanian agreed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman believed the adjacent residents should be brought in to discuss with <br />the City how this land should be disbursed, especially given the fact they were told the land was <br />unbuildable. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber moved and Commissioner Zimmerman seconded a motion to table <br />action on this item pending a discussion with the City Attorney on the ability of directing <br />conditions for the structure of the land sale. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried <br />unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A. Report from the City Council <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes provided the Commission with an update from the City Council. She <br />thanked the Planning Commission for their service to the community. She reported on October 2 <br />an Arden Hills cleanup day would be held in Blaine at Green Recycling from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 <br />p.m. She stated on October 5 a meeting would be held on the Lake Johanna Trail at Tony
