<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 30, 2001 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated he was concerned about not doing an RFQ. He noted he hoped <br />that the RFP was open to everyone and not just shared with certain contractors. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst directed Mr. Lynch to follow up with the County and see where they were at with <br />the preparation of the RFP. He stated there should be a consultant on board and this should be an <br />active project yet this year. <br /> <br />A. Beth Mueller and Jason Rysavy, Request for Zoning Code Variance, Lot 1, Block 1, <br />Josephine East <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch explained this item was for informational purposes. He stated the people want to <br />purchase the most southerly Lexington Avenue lot at the Lake Josephine East development. He <br />noted there were no decisions necessary. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he had concerns about this home occupation. He noted the home occupation <br />business on New Brighton Road was not relocated yet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated they needed to be consistent within the city as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated he was comfortable letting the Planning Commission know the <br />Council stands by their earlier philosophy on home occupation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem agreed they should stick with what was in the ordnance. She stated the <br />residential neighbors would have concerns about traffic. She noted it made sense to keep <br />residential and business areas separate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski concurred. She stated she felt thought that many people were doing <br />this type of thing without seeking permission. <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch stated the Mayor and he meet with Mr. Kunkel of Bethel College regarding building <br />some student housing off their campus. He noted the housing would not be owned by the <br />college so it would be privately owned and taxpaying property. He added there was a slight <br />delay in putting the water tower on line. He stated the contractor wanted to allow five days for <br />the paint to dry. He noted it should be on line tomorrow. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated the Operations and Finance Committee met on July 19th in a joint <br />meeting with the County. He noted they would be meeting again in August to discuss the project <br />further. He added that County Road E-2 was in the process of being milled and overlaid. He <br />stated he understands plans also include mill and overlaying of Old Snelling Avenue. <br />
