ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 28, 2023 3 Linda Swanson, 1124 Ingerson Road, addressed the JDA committee members. She noted Bob Lux provided three density scenarios (1785, 2050, and 2360 housing units) for TCAAP. She reported at the August 21 Council Worksession Ehlers provided different financial estimates for housing densities at 1460, 1790 and 1960. She questioned what has changed. She asked if the JDA Advisory Committee will be asking for financial assistance in the future. She inquired if the higher density scenarios were no longer being considered by the JDA. She then spoke to Councilmember Fabel noting when the slate came on, they were not looking back but instead was looking forward. However, Councilmember Fabel has continuously pointed fingers and said disparaging comments about the remaining Councilmembers and residents. She believed it would help move this group forward if these comments were withheld. She reported if Councilmember Fabel wants respect, he has to give respect. Lastly, she questioned when the JDA would a have a term sheet for the City to review. Kathryn Nelson, 3475 Siems Court, stated she almost got hit at the roundabout tonight. She thanked Councilmember Holden for responding to her so quickly about the dangerous situation, when there wasn't a stop sign on the north section of the roundabout. She did not believe anyone was concerned about the safety of residents, but rather there was only concern about the flow of traffic. She noted the park at Lindey's has been ruined and she anticipated the trees would be damaged. She discussed how the retaining wall and new parking lot at Lindey's was funded by the City and expressed concerned with how the eight new street lights at the intersection would impact the neighbors. She expressed frustration with the fact the trail along this roadway was torn up only one year after it was completed. She feared the residents that lived at this corner would have a reduced property value once the roundabout was complete. She encouraged the Council to use more forethought in the future when considering future intersection projects. Emily Campbell, 1473 Arden View Drive, stated she moved to Arden Hills five or six years ago because she liked how green and safe the community was. She explained as a nurse she wanted residents to have nice places to live that were affordable. However, she was concerned with the growing number of residences and how this would impact her neighborhood. She indicated she was concerned with the level of traffic at Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue. She stated this was a very busy roadway and she feared that the TCAAP development would add to this concern. She noted she was worried how Arden Hills residents would be required to pay for the infrastructure on the TCAAP project. She reported all fees have gone up significantly and she did not want to take on additional taxes. 4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES None. 5. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS A.
