<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MAY 8, 2000 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch stated the Council could table the case until the May 30 meeting, or ask Mr. <br />. Mertensotto to extend his application time in writing to the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Mertensotto stated he was not notified that he was on this evening's agenda, and only found <br />out when he called to inquire about the status of his case. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he would wish to take this case up formally at the next regular meeting. Mr. <br />Mertensotto agreed to meet with Ms. Chaput to review his case. Mayor Probst noted that the site <br />plans were in keeping with previous discussions about not moving the existing setback any <br />further out. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated thc plans seem aesthetically pleasing, and he thanked Mr. <br />Mertensotto for all the work he has put into the plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch stated, with regard to written notification from Mr. Mertensotto, a deadline must be <br />identified to avoid legal problems. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion <br />to table Planning Case #00-14, front yard setback variance for Mr. Chuck <br />Mertensotto, to the May 30, 2000, regular City Council meeting, with the <br />following amendment: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City staff must receive a written statement from Mr. Mertensotto by May 20, <br />2000, requesting an extension of application. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />B. Resolution #00-19, Authorizing City Engineer to Prepare Plans and Specifications <br />for Arden Manor Park Improvements and the Old Highway 10 Watermain <br />Extension Projects <br /> <br />Mr. Post stated that City staff had submitted grant applications to Ramsey County for <br />Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for Arden Manor Park Improvements and <br />an Old Highway 8 Watermain Extension. City of Arden Hills Resolutions #00-14 and #00-15 <br />adopted at the February 28,2000 regular Council meeting authorized these applications. <br /> <br />After a review at the Ramsey County Community and Economic Development staff level, on <br />April 25, 2000 the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved both <br />of the City of Arden Hills' CDBG grant applications. The next stage of the approval process is <br />to gain Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approval at the federal level. This approval is <br />expected to be obtained by mid-June. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Based upon the input from Ramsey County's HRA staff, there is an extremely high probability <br />that these two projects will gain federal funding approval. In an effort to "dual track" these two <br />projects prior to formal federal approval, staff recommends that the City Council adopt <br />
