He stated the Arden Hills City expectations should be more than the neighboring cities and he believed Arden Plaza gave them a golden opportunity to say upfront what they wanted ITom developers. He stated their attitude should be that they want to see quality development in the City and the materials set forth in the Zoning Code need to be followed. He stated he was not sure what the process was to get to the guidance they needed to do or they would lose the opportunity to say what they wanted to do with Arden Plaza.
