October 2, 1989 Special Council Meeting, Page Three . has before they have to take action. Chuck Ahl noted that Ramsey County has about 3-4 months before Lexington Avenue will go, and the Army has the money now and needs to get started as soon as possible. Funds were given to the Army for this specific project. Counci1member Hansen asked why Arden Hills' share of the Lexington Avenue cost is less than Shoreview's. Ah1 noted that Shoreview has additional storm sewer improvement costs. Counci1member Malone said he would rather be responsible for the City's funds to upgrade the west side of Lexington and the City should control their own resources and funding, rather than having Shoreview paying the costs with Arden Hills money. Attorney Filla noted the agreement should reflect that Shoreview will pay Arden Hills their share of the payment and this should be in a separate agreement between the two cities. Councilmember Hansen noted she would like Arden Hills' name included in the agreement for building inspection and site review. Attorney Filla suggested the agreement be approved subject to the following: that the agreement will have to be amended to allow Arden . Hills review and comments on: 1. site development plans. 2. utility plans. 3. a separate agreement between the two cities indicating the manner in which the initial fee will be divided. Councilmember Mahowald suggested including assurance of compliance with building and fire codes, setback requirements, landscape plans, and aesthetics including a buffer or green space between the parking lot and right-of-way on Lexington. Filla suggested that the utilities be disconnected if these items are not completed within a reasonable period of time. Councilmember Growe moved, seconded by Councilmember Malone, to approve the agreement subject to: 1. Review of utility plans by the Arden Hills City Engineer and/or Public Works Supervisor. 2. Review of site and landscape plans, including compliance with State fire and building codes, as well as setback requirements. 3. A provision to include discontinuation of utility service if the site plans as reviewed by Arden Hills are not constructed within a reasonable time period. 4. An agreement between Arden Hills and Shoreview as to how the initial fee of $200,000 will be split (50-50) and the imposition of a 10% . surcharge on quarterly utility rates to be paid by Shoreview to the City of Arden Hills. Motion carried unanimously, (4-0) .
