<br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES <br />MAY 20, 2002 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Mayor Probst askcd what the likelihood is for this property. <br /> <br />Mr. Davidson said, "As it sits right now, thc short-term for retail is dismal and he <br />did not see it happening. This site is not going to support a large office use." <br /> <br />Planner Parrish asked, from a marketing perspective, what uses will work on this <br />site. <br /> <br />Mr. Davidson suggested convenience store/gas/sandwich may be an appropriate <br />retail use, further stating this is a very limited market site. <br /> <br />Mr. Post asked how the use would change the value of the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Davidson said retail use would support the appraised value, but clearly any <br />upgrade to the neighborhood would hold a positive impact on the site, although <br />short term retail on the site will not work. <br /> <br />. Council Member Larson asked what Mr. Davidson's strategy would be? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Davidson said development on the end of W, Round Lake Road mayor may <br />not impact in an appreciable way, He said he understood the convenience store <br />idea is not acceptable, noting an office use on the site could occur because of a <br />good value on the land, The fact that the bridge is going to be repaired and the high <br />power lines could cause an issue, stating again, this is a very challenging site. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst suggested further discussion with Chesapeake regarding this site. <br /> <br />1-694 Desil!n Guidelines <br /> <br />Planner Parrish said anything outside the presented manLlal and the cost sharing <br />element is available for review, <br /> <br />2.B Finance Department <br /> <br />Mr. Post requested City Council comments concerning the Capitol Improvement <br />Plans he had submitted in his report. <br />
