<br /> ---- - <br /> , . <br /> Arden Hills Council 2 January 20, 1994 . <br /> Councilmember Probst stated he is in favor of preservation of <br /> space and the city should take control of the property. <br /> Councilmember Malone stated he has no preference either way, <br /> however, this land is obviously going to be relinquished by the <br /> owner. Malone further stated he would rather have the City take <br /> control of the property over the County or a possible home being <br /> built on the property. The cost is minimal to the City to <br /> accept this property. The city should accept the land knowing <br /> the City will incur some expense. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski agreed with the other Councilmembers. <br /> Councilmember Hicks questioned the expense of $1,500 to the city <br /> to take possession of this land. Mr. Winkel stated the disposal <br /> cost to remove the blacktop would be between $300~$500 and there <br /> would be a cost to remove the fence. Councilmember Hicks once <br /> again stressed that the staff contact the neighbors. <br /> Councilmember Probst stated it would be appropriate to direct <br /> staff to research further the issues being addressed this <br /> evening, to draft an agreement between the City and the Sheehy's <br /> to be reviewed by Council. At a future date, this issue should . <br /> be addressed to the Park & Recreation Committee. All <br /> Councilmembers concurred. <br /> C. G. HILL - TIF DISCUSSION <br /> Brian Fritsinger informed the Council that he has been approached <br /> by a business looking to locate to Arden Hills. This company is <br /> looking to expand its operation and would like to obtain some TIF <br /> assistance. <br /> The company is a machine shop and employs approximately 35 <br /> people. They have stated that the business is self contained and <br /> utilizes no outside storage. The company is considering <br /> constructing a new building on the Control Data property, north <br /> of the frontage road. They are considering acquiring 4 acres and <br /> constructing approximately a 30,000 sq. ft. building. <br /> One possible problem with the proposal is that the Ordinance <br /> appears to require frontage on a road. This site would have <br /> access only through a permanent easement. A new TIF district <br /> would also have to be created to assist this company. <br /> Councilmember Hicks questioned whether this was an additional <br /> location for this business or would the business make a complete <br /> move to Arden Hills. Mr. Fritsinger stated the Arden Hills <br /> location would be the only location for this business. Malone . <br />
