. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 24, 2000 10 Elizabeth Garski, 1795 Valentine Lake Road, asked whether the parking lot timers could be moved indoors so that night staff could more easily regulate them. Mr. Fabick agreed that would be the logical solution. Mayor Probst asked why the lights in the parking lot are two (2) different colors. Mr. Fabick stated the lights were installed before he began working on the project. He added that their electrical engineer is working to resolve the timer and control issues on the parking lots, and to get the timers inside the building. Councilmember Larson stated he would support the addition of a condition that would require the parking near the tennis courts be redesigned to the satisfaction of Staff. Mr. Lynch expressed concern that the student street parking issues have not been addressed, and requested that the Council consider requiring the School District to meet with the City to devise a plan to deal with the parking problems. Mayor Probst agreed that it would be a worthwhile attempt to encourage staff and students to cooperate in a formalized manner with neighborhood residents. Mr. Filla stated that it should not appear that the Council is approving a variance for parking without a reason.
