<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 11, 1994 5 <br /> . can be instructed to take action for a court order requiring compliance, with penalties, <br /> court costs and City costs related to such action to be the responsibility of Arden <br /> Manor. <br /> Lynn Franzen, 2015 Todd Drive, stated that it would be wonderful if residents could <br /> give their opinion. She would accept an alternative plan because her children are too <br /> small to use the pool alone. She requested that all residents are polled, not just a <br /> small percentage. <br /> Hicks asked if there is a park residents' association. <br /> Ms. Franzen stated that residents are working to organize one. She stated that she is <br /> certain that enough residents would volunteer their preferences for management to get <br /> a true reflection of their wishes. <br /> Acting Mayor Aplikowski asked if the residents hold resident Park meetings. <br /> Ms. Franzen stated that meetings have not been held since the last management. <br /> Ms. Susan Langer, 4650 Park Court, stated that the pool was functioning when Mr. <br /> Holmquist came.

She showed pictures of the conditions to Councilmembers <br /> and asked how management will keep up with new equipment.

Her rent was raised last <br /> February, and she hopes something can be done this summer because residents are <br /> paying for something they are not getting. <br /> MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, that by the next Council meeting, it will <br /> be expected that the owner and management of Arden Hills Manor provide the <br /> Council with evidence that action has been taken to repair the pool and put it <br /> into proper operating condition to comply with the conditions of the Special <br /> Use Permit; or come prepared with an alternative plan for recreational <br /> facilities that the park would install and maintain, with an indication that <br /> residents have been adequately surveyed for their needs and interests and <br /> concerns about this change; in order that a public hearing could be held <br /> through the Planning Commission; or if neither of the above alternatives are <br /> satisfied, the City will request that the City Attorney begin proceedings to <br /> find Arden Manor in non-compliance with the Special Use Permit. <br /> Discussion: <br /> Filla noted that it will be difficult for staff to respond to any proposed <br /> alternative, if that is the choice, unless it is received with sufficient time for <br /> . review prior to the next Council meeting. He requested that an alternative <br />
