<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 26,1998 6 <br /> . Mr. Fritsinger reminded the Council that the Comprehensive Plan update has been in process <br /> throughout the summer and it is scheduled to be brought to the Planning Commission for the <br /> public hearing during the November meeting. He invitcd any of the Councilmembers who may <br /> be interested to attend the meeting. <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Malone commented that updating tbe Comprehensive Plan is a difficult process <br /> because the new plan will be substantially different from the old one. In reading the new draft it <br /> appears to be much broader than it had been. <br /> Mayor Probst referrcd to a note in the agenda packet regarding inquiries coming back as a result <br /> of the utility stuffer asking for interest in serving on a committee and indicated he would like to <br /> see these inquiries. He noted that it was discussed at this year's retreat to delay any new <br /> committee appointments until after the 1999 retreat. He indicated that there should be a <br /> reaffirmation of this change or a decision made whether or not the process should be moved up. <br /> Mayor Probst asked for an explanation of the graphic provided regarding the issue of a resident <br /> looking for access off Lake Lane. Mr. Fritsinger indicated Lake Lane is currently a dirt road east <br /> of the IOOF property with a fence running parallel to it. The road is not maintained by the City <br /> because there is a private drive used by the residents, which weaves through the lots and out <br /> towards Shoreline Lane. With the selling ofMr. Anderson's property, relatcd to his abatement <br /> . process, and the proposed development ofMr. Hanson's three lots, tile private drivc is expected <br /> to be no longer available. Because of this, the one property owner affected by the loss of the <br /> driveway is requesting the City upgrade Lake Lane so it may be used to access the property. <br /> Mayor Probst stated that he had attended the grand opening of the Schwan's Super Rink on <br /> Saturday. He found the facility very impressive and felt it was well received. <br /> Mayor Probst noted that the 1-35W Corridor Coalition continues to move along and Mr. Strauss <br /> is scheduled to attend the November Worksession with an update for the Council. The process <br /> appears to be going well and the City is getting into issues which will test the cohesiveness of the <br /> Coalition. At this point it appears to be a success and he is anxious for the presentation to the <br /> Council. <br /> Mayor Probst referred to the request from Nickelodeon and asked if there was any reason the <br /> City should not participate. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that he is not familiar with the program and <br /> the only information he has is the letter included in the agenda packet. He indicated it appears to <br /> simply be a request for people in the community to volunteer to participate, but there is no <br /> explanation of any other issues which may be involved. <br /> . <br /> -------.--- <br />
