<br />I .. <br />~e Dl?4Fr <br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 24.1996 7 <br />I <br /> C. Resolution #96-26, Approving Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Action Plan <br />I for 1996 <br /> Mr. Ringwald explained the City is required, under the Metropolitan Liveable Communities Act, <br />I to prepare an action plan to met the established housing goals which were negotiated in 1995 <br /> with the Metropolitan Council. Staff continues to support the premise that Arden Hills' goals <br />I and action plan should be directly linked to the future redevelopment ofTCAAP. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski questioned the impact without TCAAP. Mr. Ringwald explained it <br />I would be more difficult and staff would have to determine how affordable housing goals can be <br /> met on a lot-by-lot basis. He suggested this is why the Met Council endorsed the use of TCAAP, <br /> to assure meaningful implementation of the Liveable Communities Act. <br />I Mayor Probst noted that because of TCAAP, under the current definition, Arden Hills is <br /> classified as a "developing community". Mr. Ringwald stated this is correct. <br />I Councilmember Aplikowski asserted that this is a "heavy handed" requirement and in theory she <br /> is opposed but in reality she will support it. <br />-- MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #96-26, <br /> Approving the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Action Plan for 1996. The <br />I motion carried unanimously (4-0). <br /> D. Resolution #96-06, Tousley Front Yard Variance, 3248 Sandeen Road <br />I <br /> Mr. Ringwald explained that Herb Tousley of 3248 Sandeen Road is requesting a front and side <br />I yard variance. The front yard setback being requested is 35 feet, when 40 feet is required and the <br /> side yard setback being requested varies from approximately 2.7 feet to 4 feet, when 5 feet is <br /> required. It was noted the Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the <br />I variance requests with the following conditions: <br /> 1. If the building is damaged or destroyed by any cause in excess of fifty percent (50%) of <br />I the fair market value of said building, as determined by the building inspector, then the <br /> side yard (north property line) setback variance as explicitly shown would become null <br /> and void, and <br />I 2.
