Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 12-11-89 Page 2 , P.C. STUDY (Cont'd) Councilmember Malone noted the first two items listed in the memorandum are relatively equal in importance; stated e all items identified are appropriate for study by the Commission. Planning Chair Probst advised the Commission is awaiting Council action/direction on the Round Lake Gateway Business District prior to continuing study of this area. Probst explained the Commission has already reviewed preliminary plans for development which will impact the area along Lexington Avenue identified as an item for study. He requested Council authorize the Lexington Avenue subcommittee group to utilize Planner Bergly's services for the Lexington Ave. study. Council questioned what the cost would be for the Planner's involvement in the study of Lexington Avenue; questioned if $10,000 would be a fair estimate. Planner Bergly suggested the procedure for this subcommittee follow the format adopted by the Round Lake study group. He advised a limited amount of funding is available in the Planning budget for small-scale studies of this nature. After identifying the issues, the Commission would return to Council for authorization to expend funds for the consultant to begin a more detailed study. Bergly estimated a more detailed study would be below the estimated $10,000. There was discussion relative to the study of wetland areas. Probst explained there are a number of wetland areas which are not identified nor protected by the DNR. He stated the Commission anticipates applications for filling of wetlands for development, since the City is close to full development. He advised the subcommittee will study policies for filling wetlands and the possibility of the - City obtaining and protecting these wetlands. Councilmember Hansen expressed concern that study of Item #6, the Arsenal property, would not be worthwhile. She was of the opinion the City will not obtain that property in the future.
