ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—APRIL 24, 2023 19 <br /> Councilmember Monson stated she was concerned with the fact the fence would become a tax <br /> burden. She did not believe she could support a 170 foot long privacy fence being installed. She <br /> questioned if there was a way to review how long the fence should be in order to properly screen <br /> the neighboring residential property. <br /> Councilmember Fabel indicated he was surprised to find out Lindey's has not installed a fence in <br /> order to screen their business from the neighboring residential property. He stated Lindey's was <br /> now getting a .brand new fence, which would be at great expense to the public. He did not <br /> appreciate that a fence would also be provided to,Lindey's in order to make them a good neighbor. <br /> Mayor Grant explained he understood this concern. <br /> Councilmember Holden indicated the fence would be a much lower cost than the parking lot and <br /> she wanted to make sure proper screening was in place between Lindey's and Ms. Durhman. <br /> Councilmember Fabel stated it would be his preference if Lindey's would pay for the fence <br /> without having this to be done by the public. <br /> Mayor Grant commented it would be nice if this could be done, but unfortunately, a condition <br /> for approval would be required to ensure the fence was installed. <br /> A roll call vote was taken. The amendment carried 3-2 <br /> (Councilmembers Monson and Rousseau opposed). <br /> A roll call vote was taken. The amended motion carried (5-0). <br /> C. JDA Advisory Committee Request <br /> This item was removed from the agenda. <br /> 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> None. <br /> 12. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Monson commented the fire department was considering a review of going into <br /> a fire district. She explained she was working with City Administrator Perrault and the Fire Chief <br /> in order to present the Council with further information on this topic in May or June. <br /> Councilmember Monson recommended an agenda setting policy be discussed by the Council in <br /> May. <br /> Councilmember Monson reported the JDA was more than welcoming and she wanted to have <br /> comments from the public. She noted the JDA had lots of ideas for open houses and ideas for <br /> presentations. She explained she was excited to have this discussion at the May 1 JDA <br /> worksession meeting. <br />
