ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — MAY 8, 2023 2 <br />each party would allow the public to speak. She believed by including the public in the <br />discussions it would help in the development's overall success. <br />Maher Safi, 1 Maycomb Lane, North Oaks, provided staff with a handout. He stated he was a <br />representative of Arden Hills Tobacco. He thanked the City Council for being proactive for the <br />City. He discussed how the flavor ban was impacting his business and noted Arden Hills was the <br />only city with a flavor ban that impacted existing businesses. He indicated his patrons were now <br />having to drive to Roseville to buy flavored products. He asked that the Council consider an <br />exemption for two years to allow his business to sell flavored tobacco products through the end of <br />his lease, which is September of 2025. He discussed how COVID has impacted his business, <br />along with inflation and now the construction along Lexington Avenue. He requested the Council <br />reconsider the flavor ban that was put in place and allow his existing business to be exempt. <br />Kathryn Nelson, 3475 Siems Court, stated she has been living in her home in Arden Hills since <br />1985. She expressed frustration with the amount of time and money that was being spent for an <br />unnecessary roundabout at County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue. She asked the Council to put <br />in pedestrian activated lights at this roundabout. She understood the roundabout was being <br />installed for flow of traffic and not safety purposes, which was a concern to her. <br />Richard Wenzel, 1931 Noble Road, stated he was waiting to see a copy of <br />Ramsey County's proposal for TCAAP. He explained he asked for this a month ago and has not <br />received any information. He questioned how the City can negotiate when only one side has a <br />proposal. He encouraged the new Councilmembers to be transparent and to provide the residents <br />with a proposal. He expressed frustration with the time limit that was being set on residents by the <br />Council for the public comment period. He asked again for a comment from the Council on where <br />the County's proposal was for TCAAP. <br />3. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES <br />A. Response to Public Inquiries from the April 24, 2023 City Council Meeting <br />City Administrator Perrault explained the inquiry from the last meeting was regarding the <br />density range on TCAAP and how it went from 1,700 to 2,200 units. He reported the Advisory <br />Committee was considering different scenarios for the developer and the JDA to consider. He <br />stated nothing has been decided on the density, but rather scenarios were being considered. <br />4. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS <br />A. Proclamation Recognizing May 21-27, 2023 as National Public Works Week <br />Mayor Grant read a proclamation in full for the record declaring May 21-27, 2023 to be National <br />Public Works Week in the City of Arden Hills. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Fabel moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a <br />motion to endorse the proclamation. The motion carried (5-0). <br />B. Proclamation Recognizing May 9-15, 2023 as National Police Week <br />
