<br /> ) <br /> I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> I <br /> DATE: July 12, 1996 <br /> I TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> Brian F~itsinger, City Administrator~ <br /> FROM: <br /> I <br /> SUBJECT: Administrator Comments for week ending July 12, 1996 <br /> I <br /> 1. Public Safety Committee Meetings <br /> . The Public Safety Committee has elected to change its meetings to a bi-monthly basis. <br /> 2. Human Ri!!:hts Committee Meetings <br /> . The Human Rights Committee has elected to not hold meetings in the month of July and <br /> August. <br /> . 3. July 8. 1996 Letter from Dennis Stolp. 1398 Indian Oaks Court <br /> Staff has received complaints from residents, including Mr. Stolp, abutting the drainage <br /> pond at 1409 Indian Oaks Court. This is the pond the City recently accepted from the <br /> '. previous property owner. As Mr. Stolp indicates, the neighbors are upset that the City is <br /> not mowing the area in the same manner as the previous owner. The City does not <br /> . currently mow any of its drainage or pond areas. It also appears that the vegetation being <br /> requested to be removed at this pond is wetland vegetation. As wetland vegetation, state <br /> regulations regarding removal may apply. Prior to receiving this letter, I had directed <br /> . staff to respond to the neighbors that we encourage abutting property owners to mow, but <br /> the City will not mow this area. If the City Council agrees with this response, I will <br /> follow up with Mr. Stolp. <br /> I 4. Julv 8. 1996 Letter from Welsh Companies. Inc. <br /> The attached letter is the first "real" response from Welsh regarding the proposed <br /> . development in the Gateway Business District. Most of the items addressed are issues <br /> which need to be resolved, but there needs to be additional discussions and agreements by <br /> both parties before some of these issues will be finalized. No movement has been made <br /> . with the acquisition of any of the remaining parcels included in the development. <br /> 5. First Half Tax Settlement <br /> I The City has received its first half tax settlement from Ramsey County in the amount of <br /> $1,237,426.85. This settlement included an additional $180,000 for the pending <br /> I abatements which were withheld previously. It also was reduced by $67,809 for January <br /> 1996 obligations resulting from tax settlements. <br /> ,. <br /> . <br />
