ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 27,1999 8 . Councilmember Larson asked if this development included the proposed joint project with Northwestern College. Mr. Meyer stated that this project was separate from the joint Northwestern College project. Councilmember Larson requested confirmation that the Northwestern College project was for a four story building. Mr. Meyer stated that this was correct. Councilmember Malone stated that he had not realized the soccer fields, north of County Road D, were owned by Presbyterian Homes. He requested confirmation that the City has used these fields in the past. Mr. Post stated that the City of Arden Hills has used these soccer fields on an occasional basis and has not used them at all this year. Councilmember Malone asked if it would be possible for the City to request that the Parks and Recreation Department participate in the scheduling of the soccer fields. Mr. Meyer stated that the scheduling for the soccer fields had been turned over to Northwestern College. He indicated that the reason the fields were not in use this year was because the College has installed irrigation systems and has re-seeded the fields. Once the fields are ready, they will be made available for use by the City of Arden Hills. . Mayor Probst stated that one issue for the Parks and Recreation Department is that Northwestern College is currently scheduling the use of the fields and difficulties arise because the college straddles the boundaries of Arden Hills and Roseville. He asked if there was an agreement with a term between Northwestern College and Presbyterian Homes, and ifthere was the possibility of the Arden Hills Parks and Recreation Department becoming the programming agent. Mr. Meyer stated that there was no term to the agreement with Northwestern College. I-Ie indicated that Presbyterian Homes has been encouraging the College to allow the City use of tlle property in Arden Hills. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #99-32, Providing for the Issuance and Sale of Senior Housing Revenue Bonds to Provide Funds for a Senior Housing and Health Care Project (Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills, Inc. Project), substantially in the form presented, subject to non-substantial changes being approved by the City Attorney and Interim City Administrator; and authorize Mayor and Interim City Administrator to execute all necessary documentation. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). C. Resolution #99-33, Requesting Ramsey County to Restrict Parking along a Portion of County Road I Mr. Stafford explained that this request was similar to a previous Resolution adopted by the City Council for the Cleveland A venue railroad bridge. In both cases the road does not meet the standards for parking on either side. Ramsey County, in cooperation with the City of Shoreview and Arden Hills, is proposing the reconstruction of County Road I, between I-35W and Schutta Road. The County is asking that the City of Arden Hills pass a Resolution to restrict the parking along County Road I in order for the County to receive state aid approval of the project. .
