. . . I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29,2001 13 Councilmember Rem stated she agreed with the plan, but had concerns about traffic and signage issues. Mr. Carlson replied this would be something they would need to be aware of when the final plan was prepared. He stated with respect to traffic, their study indicated they were within the parameters with respect to that issue. Mayor Probst indicated he was in favor of approving this preliminary plan. Mr. Filla requested item 1 be rewritten as follows: 1. Restrictive covenant or other recordable document recognize that proposed outlots A and B do not meet minimum requirements for the Gateway Business Zone and cannot be developed for a non-billboard use in the future, as platted; MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #00-46, Chesapeake, 1-35W and 1-694 Preliminary Plat/Concept Planned Unit Development (PUD), taking into consideration the rewording of item 1 under the conditions by Mr. Filla. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), 1-35W Noise Wall Discussion Mr. Post explained this subject was discussed at the January 16,2001 Council Worksession. Subsequent discussion reflected that Councilmembers had additional questions concerning more detailed drawings, wall location, proximity to existing MnDOT fence and mobile homes, design options available to the City and on what cost basis and finally a process question regarding how the proposed project had been communicated. Gayle Gedstad, MnDOT, stated that the park owners were supportive of this wall. Mayor Probst expressed concern about the homeowners not being aware the walls were going to be put up. Mr. Gedstad stated the homes would not be that close to the wall, but that sunlight might be blocked in the summer. Councilmember Larson asked if they would put fill in on the residential side of the fence. Mr. Getstad responded no fill would be necessary. The fence would match the grade with the bottom elevation of the wall. Mayor Probst asked when the Council needed to make a decision regarding this. Mr. Lynch responded they would like a decision by March 1,2001. Mayor Probst suggested Mr. Husnik and/or his partner conduct a meeting with the residents to inform them of this proposal. He requested a staff member be present for this meeting. Councilmember Aplikowski disagreed that a meeting was necessary. She suggested a letter be sent to the residents explaining what was happening. Mayor Probst responded he did not have any preference as to how the residents receive this information, just that they were made aware of what was happening.
