ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—APRIL 10, 2023 22 <br /> updates. Should Council want to move this forward, Staff will work with Kimley Horn on <br /> obtaining a proposal for future consideration. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the AUAR was being updated or if the scenarios were <br /> changing. <br /> City Administrator Perrault reported it was his understanding the AUAR would be updated, the <br /> scenarios would not be changing and the maximum build out of 2500 units would not be <br /> changing. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding how TCAAP would impact Highway 96 and Hamline <br /> Avenue. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned why the AUAR was being updated when it did not expire until 2024 <br /> and none of the scenarios were being changed. <br /> City Administrator Perrault commented the benefits were there was movement on the project <br /> and the updated AUAR would provide post COVID traffic information and would affirm <br /> decisions being made on the development. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned if the AUAR updates should wait until after the thumb property <br /> develops. <br /> City Administrator Perrault stated he would contend that the space on the thumb property <br /> would fall in line with campus commercial trip generations, which would fall in line with the <br /> AUAR update. <br /> Councilmember Holden indicated she did not believe now was the right time to update the <br /> AUAR either. She did not anticipate the thumb property would house a corporate campus, which <br /> meant the parcel would have a significant change that would impact the rest of the property. She <br /> questioned why the City would not want to know what was going to happen on this property <br /> before updating the AUAR. <br /> Councilmember Rousseau stated she would be interested in knowing what the AUAR looks like <br /> at this point. She supported staff working with Kimley-Horn to draft a proposal. <br /> Councilmember Fabel reported the Councilmembers who were appointed by this Council to <br /> serve on the JDA were in agreement with City Administrator Perrault that the AUAR should <br /> move forward this year. He believed this was the right way to proceed and he supported staff s <br /> recommendation. <br /> Councilmember Monson believed staff should not have an open checkbook, but rather the plan <br /> was to update the AUAR. She indicated the updated traffic information would be essential to the <br /> JDA. She supported this item moving forward in 2023. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned if Councilmember Fabel or Councilmember Monson knew the <br /> anticipated density on the TCAAP parcel. <br />
