. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 13. 1997 2 CONSENT CALENDAR A. Claims and Payroll B. Street Sweeper Equipment Options Counci1member Malone questioned if the NSP statements have been merged into one payment for ease of billing. Terry Post, City Accountant, indicated that the billing has been consolidated to the extent possible. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to approve the Consent Calendar as submitted and authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited the audience to address the Council on any issue not already on the agenda. Lois Rem, 1670 Glenview Court, Arden Hills, stated that she sat through the Planning Commission interviews on Tuesday, January 7,1997. She took issue with the Planning Commission interviewees being told that no land use issues had come up regarding the Valentine Lake townhome project. She stated there had been two hearings to that effect held, one on March I, 1995, the other on March 27, 1995, and read excerpts from the minutes of those meetings pertaining to the land use issue. Mayor Probst responded that he appreciated the research. He indicated his question was based on the fact that this was not a rezoning case, and clearly there is an issue with the consistency of the maps between the land use, comprehensive plan, and the zoning ordinance, but the point he was responding to was that there was not a rezoning involved in the exercise, it was a PUD.
