ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 14, 2025 11 Mayor Grant shares Councilmember Holden's concerns about that area. He said that needs to be buttoned up. Councilmember Holden would like more information on it. Right now she is not in favor of leaving it in. City Administrator Jagoe said if we remove it, we will want to remove that a Manufacturing and processing Class 2 can have it. Councilmember Holden agreed. She said that's why she needs more information. Councilmember Weber said that area is Gateway Business. That isn't I-1 so it would not be permitted in that area. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. She said today Manufacturing and processing, Class 2 is permitted in I-2 only. With the amendments that HKGi is recommending, we would eliminate I-2 and combine it with 1-1. They are saying Manufacturing and processing, Class 2 will be called permitted with standards. We will establish what those standards are. That's the only use that can have exterior storage. They are also recommending making it permitted with standards in I-1 for storage, as an accessory to that Manufacturing and processing, Class 2. Councilmember Holden said maybe instead of open storage, they have to have it covered or screened. City Administrator Jagoe said those standards don't exist today. We can develop those and come back with some recommendations; we can look at including storage must be covered. B. 2026-2030 CIP Discussion Finance Director Yang said the City prepares a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan every year. We will be reviewing projects that have been submitted, to date and are included in the preliminary 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Budget. She shared a table showing a summary of CIP Project expenditures, broken out by department, by year. She outlined the projects, by department and their estimated costs and commencement dates. She noted sewer and water funds exclude any TCAAP related project expenditures. Those will be funded via WAC and SAC. Finance Director Yang shared a slide showing a three-year look back at the five-year CIP budgets. She noted increases and decreases. The largest increases are in Parks and Streets due to the timing of trail and PMP projects and changes to cost assumptions and estimates. There were two PMP projects programmed into the 2025 CIP and there are three PMP projects in 2026 and forward. The largest decrease is in the Sewer Fund due to timing and changes to cost assumptions. Finance Director Yang discussed the slide showing projects in 2026. These are infrastructure projects, only. Typically Council evaluates each project individually. Council decided to hear the remainder of the presentation and will have discussion at the end.
