October 2, 1989 Special Council Meeting, Page Two . City Engineer looking at the plans and being allowed to inspect the work. City Attorney Filla noted that local zoning regulations do not apply to the Army or TCAAP. He said if TCAAP is agreeable to review by Arden Hills, that would be fine, but he was not sure if the Army would agree to such a review. Councilmember Malone suggested the City be allowed to. review the site plan, make inspections and recommendations and that Arden Hills will expect a response from TCAAP. Filla suggested the Council tell the Army what they want, otherwise the Army will not receive water from Shoreview unless Arden Hills' concerns are included in the agreement. Councilmember Mahowald questioned if Arden Hills can be bought for $52,000 for something they don't want or care about. He suggested the City take a tougher stance and attempt to have more say in the plans. Councilmember Growe suggested seeing how expensive it might be for the Army to proceed on their own. Chuck Ahl noted that Shoreview's original price for the utility service was $325,000 and that if neither Shoreview or Arden Hills w~nts to participate, the Army has their own set of plans to proceed on their own. .

Filla suggested that until Arden Hills' concerns are ddressed, Shoreview will not provide utilities, and that perhaps this plan should be reviewed by the Planning Commission. He asked how long it may take to get a response from the Army. Chuck Ahl stated a response could take from 2 weeks to 30 days if the Army is receptive, or they might not be receptive to a review at all. It is conceivable that the Army could close the door and walk away, with no negotiations with anyone. Public Works Supervisor Winkel asked who will provide police/fire protection to this building. If Arden Hills does, the Army should be charged. Chuck Ahl, Shoreview Public Works Director, noted he spoke to Mike Fix of the Army and was told the permit is to allow Honeywell to store hazardous materials on the site longer than 90 days and for disposal. Site F will be closed and could be used as a detonation site. The permit will require clean-up and closing of Site F per EPA and PCA regulations. . Attorney Filla said the hearing notice permit imposes standards that were not in effect in 1979, will make the site safer, and will not allow new materials to be brought to the site. Filla asked how much time the City
