More specifically: ~!j.NNING SC~:D 'lJASiE . It is recommended that any appeal, beyond the deletion of the Valentine Lake I :7~IjCi..:RAi. acreage, be denied on the grounds that the property is zoned B-1 and is being S:..~VE'!!NG appropriately assessed the B-1 Surface Water Management fee. The special use -~':"c~;C permit states that the property cannot be developed beyond 25 % of the total acreage I -:":'i"S?C~7.:,,~;C'. while the zoning ordinance for property zoned B-1 allows 35 % , This is an issue for the Council to consider; however, that SUP can be amended at any point to allow I :~:C~;C":'~.'.1.:-:-':' '::c;.~ additional development up to the 35 % level, :~.G;,",:::,:'.G . The question of how curve numbers were detennined was raised at the _...,..... November 29, 1994, Council meeting, These are taken from the Soil Conservation ;C'../~: ::;:S~?:~,,~,::'i Service (SCS) curve number index table and Type B soils were assumed as the I ~'~.-....... typical soil throughout Arden Hills, Based upon this infonnation, and the B-1 : .'~~E'.'::>i~~'::.: zoning, a curve number of 92 was achieved, I . The final issue addressed was the potential need for further ordinance revisions to address other non-confonning uses within R-1 zoned property throughout the City. This issue was left for the City staff to address; however, MSA is available to assist I the City in whatever capacity is required to complete such revisions, . We would recommend that you and I meet with Mr, Craig Hjelle and his engineering I representative to address this issue prior to the January 30, 1995, Council meeting, If you would require our presence at such a meeting, please contact our office with a date and _CffICESIN time, and we would be glad to assist you.
