ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL—JUNE 5, 2025 2 Mr.Wendell said their home is located behind Freeway Park,which the City is the property owner, so they are asking if the City would sign one of the letters stating that this project would not affect the City. Mayor Grant commented that this would be an actual planning case itself,and that he knows where their home is located. He asked if City Administrator Jagoe was aware of this situation. City Administrator Jagoe indicated they had worked with Senior Planner Fransen with a question about a shed in conjunction with a detached garage that they were building. She said she was not aware of the setback question as that was not part of their prior discussion. She said she would request Senior Planner Fransen follow up with the homeowner about the variance application process. Councilmember Rousseau said that would be great as the information provided did not show the setbacks. Mayor Grant stated that the Council would need to review this and that Ms.Myers would need to work with staff going forward. He let her know that as stated earlier, the Council does not make decisions here at the meeting. A short discussion ensued regarding recent and upcoming meetings. Mayor Grant said that the statement Ms. Myers and Mr. Wendell made about their property is for the public and informational section of the meeting, which is always on the Council's agenda. He added that the Council is always open for people coming in and addressing the Council. He invited them to attend the upcoming City Council meeting on Monday night, noting he suspected the full Council would be in attendance. Mayor Grant encouraged Ms. Myers and Mr.Wendell to work with Senior Planner Franzen as well as City Administrator Jagoe to gain a better understanding of their project and stated that staff could help them with a better understanding of how to move the project forward. Ms. Myers confirmed they would like some direction. Councilmember Rousseau stated that the City Clerk would forward to the two Councilmembers that were not in attendance this morning the documents Ms. Myers had provided.
