ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - DECEMBER 18, 2023 18 <br />Councilmember Holden noted that when they were looking at TCAAP one of the environmental <br />specialists told them never to be in the line of title on TCAAP or any polluted land because you <br />start getting into the liability issues. <br />Mayor Grant said he wasn't seeing any pressing need or advantage to increasing the size of the <br />board. <br />Councilmember Holden felt it would be nice if they got the committee going and knew how it <br />was working before they added additional members. <br />Mayor Grant agreed that might be a good idea. <br />Councilmember Rousseau was willing to do that and maybe look at it again in six months. <br />Mayor Grant thought they might want to have the next meeting on the second Monday in <br />February. <br />City Administrator Perrault noted they would also have a work session that night. There would <br />be an item regarding the Primer Tracer concept plan/zoning and potentially a discussion with <br />developers regarding Rice Creek Commons. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the sale of the Primer Tracer land. <br />Councilmember Rousseau suggested February 26 for an EDA meeting. <br />Councilmember Holden wasn't available. <br />Mayor Grant suggested the second Monday in March, as they are already scheduled for a <br />Council meeting and work session that night. <br />H. Rice Creek Commons/TCAAP Discussion <br />Councilmember Rousseau commented that during the open house 1.7 people per unit was <br />presented by the developer, she was wondering if they could get some clarification about where <br />that number came from and what the impact was with planning. <br />Councilmember Monson thought what he would design wouldn't be the same as how Mounds <br />View School District would assess numbers. <br />Mayor Grant suggested they ask the school district demographer what they think. <br />Councilmember Holden thought they should ask the developer because if they were building <br />affordable housing they would need to know how many three -bedroom units they were building. <br />Councilmember Monson said he spoke on the tour about a building that had a lot of three and <br />four -bedroom units because the city of Hopkins gave them multiple millions of dollars in order to <br />have a strong family -oriented building. She loved the idea of having units that are family focused. <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked if the average number in Arden Hills was at 2.1 or 2.3 units per <br />household? <br />
