ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MAY 28. 1996 14 MOTION: Malone moved and Keirn seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #96-01, Amble Final Plat and Variance, 1211 West Amble Road. Councilmember Hicks amended the motion including subject to resolving the park dedication fee before any building permits are issued, the staff to work with the applicant to determine an appropriate value for the lots. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Fritsinger clarified that the Oak Grove Trust reimbursement will not be $26,000, but instead 68 percent of the total amount. Mayor Probst stated the reimbursement would be paid over time with zero interest, with two payments in 1996 and one payment in 1997. Mr. Fritsinger stated the County has notified the City that its portion of paving of the shoulders for the Highway 10 resurfacing project will be between $14,000 and $19,000. He stated he is working with Mr. Stonehouse on this issue, as the City was unaware that it would be responsible for any portion of paving at this time, and had not budgeted for this expense. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Malone inquired if the City was aware of the shoulder paving cost participation. Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, stated it was presented as an option at first, but the County is proposing it be completed now. Mayor Probst inquired if the concrete shoulders will be removed. Mr. Stafford stated the concrete will be smashed on site. Council member Malone stated the Metropolitan Council has formulated a growth option policy and has disagreed with the Builder's Association. He stated he has a draft policy and would welcome any comments from the Council. Councilmember Hicks stated there should be no option to make payments on the Oak Grove Trust reimbursement amount, and that the amount should not be 68 percent but the entire amount. He stated that the City should consider writing Congress and protesting this decision. Mr. Fritsinger stated the reimbursement would be coming from the State, not the Federal Government, and that the City may not see any reimbursement depending on future legislative changes.
