ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 14, 2025 5 City Administrator Jagoe said there are some standards that could be explored. She asked if Council would like to look at dynamic signs, or stay with the language that is already in place. Councilmember Weber said we can't regulate the content of a sign. With a dynamic sign there is a lot more possibility. City Administrator Jagoe agreed. She said what we can do is say the content has to be related to a business that is on premise. Councilmember Holden said that's right now. Two months from now it could be changed to say it's their sign, they can do what they want. City Administrator Jagoe asked if Council wants the consultants to bring back a version that includes dynamic signage. Councilmember Weber said he would like to hear the answers to Councilmember Rousseau's questions. City Administrator Jagoe said she will ask the consultants to provide high-level options to consider. Councilmember Holden asked if two parking spaces for a dwelling unit is enough, given we don't allow parking on the street. City Administrator Jagoe said two spaces per dwelling unit is what is required today. The proposed language is just splitting out the difference between dwelling single and two from dwelling multi -unit. They are changing the text, but two spaces per unit is the standard today. Councilmember Holden asked Councilmember Rousseau if 1 space per four students enough for secondary schools. Councilmember Rousseau said that is hard. We're talking about high school in our area. She knows that is very competitive with the high school. Councilmember Holden said that is why she's questioning if it should be fewer students per space. City Administrator Jagoe will request they reduce, to increase the requirement. Councilmember Rousseau asked if the category "School Specialized Education" is the colleges. Councilmember Weber asked if anyone reached out to Mounds View and ask what they thought. City Administrator Jagoe does not think they have, but she will confirm with the consultants. We are in the early stages of seeking general direction.
