ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL— SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 2 <br /> 3. PUBLIC INQUIRIESANFORMATIONAL <br /> Kathy Sukke, 1286 Karth Lake Circle, reported she moved to Arden Hills from Harlem. She <br /> explained she understood what density was. She stated the housing in Arden Hills north of I-694 <br /> was currently 938 units, 217 apartments and 280 Arden Manor lots for a total of 1,435 units. She <br /> indicated these diverse housing units are on roughly one square mile or 640 acres. She commented <br /> on how northern Arden Hills was boxed in by freeways to the south and west. She discussed how <br /> 1,460 units were being proposed to be placed on 161 acres or only one quarter of that space. She <br /> believed the proposed density would distort the nature of northern Arden Hills and would make <br /> the development incongruent with the diverse housing around it. In addition, the population would <br /> be multiplied which would impact traffic, services, and an increased tax burden will fall on <br /> current residents. She feared how the community would be impacted if the JDA opts to increase <br /> the density within the development to 1,960 units. She reported this density would mean there <br /> would be 5,100 more people being added to northern Arden Hills which would be a 136% <br /> increase in population growth. She stated this level of density was unconscionable. She <br /> understood the developer has said density is your friend. She disagreed with this noting many <br /> Arden Hills residents moved to this community to get away from a higher density area. She urged <br /> the JDA and City Council to allow Arden Hills residents to have a place at the table when it <br /> comes to the TCAAP development. <br /> Mayor Grant reported Linda Swanson provided a prepared statement to him. He read this <br /> statement for the record, noting Ms. Swanson requested all TCAAP summaries from City <br /> Administrator Perrault regarding the activities of the JDA and JDA Advisory Committee be added <br /> to the JDA Advisory Committee summaries. <br /> 4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES <br /> None. <br /> 5. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS <br /> None. <br /> 6. STAFF COMMENTS <br /> A. Transportation Update <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported Lexington Avenue was open to <br /> traffic and would have intermittent outside lane closures as the contractor finishes the trail and <br /> sidewalk construction. He noted this work would continue through the fall until the work is <br /> completed. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the roundabout at County Road E and <br /> Old Snelling was open to traffic in all directions, but was an active construction site. He indicated <br /> the south leg would be paved on Friday, September 29 and the final paving would be completed <br /> next week. He urged vehicles passing through the site to pay close attention to the posted signage <br /> and moving heavy equipment. <br />
