<br /> I' ~ ~~~ir <br /> I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 28, 1997 3 <br /> ,. Ryan Langsev, of the law firm Bale, Anderson, Polstein, Pearson & Hill, representing Arden <br /> Towers, Inc., stated that his clients objected to the proposed acccss, as it was not reasonable <br /> access for an industrially zoned property. The current use of the property for a radio tower is a <br /> I transitional use. Given the site has a transitional use on the property, the City should be looking <br /> to the future ultimate use and access for the property. He stated that an architect representing the <br /> owncr had recently met with Mr. Ringwald and recommended the easement be changed to a sixty <br /> I foot (60') width, which was the typical width for an access road. If this could not be provided, <br /> Mr. Langsev suggested that the cul-de-sac should be extended through to the Arden Towers <br /> property. <br /> I Mr. Langsev stated that his client also had concerns with the possibility of utilities being cut off <br /> to his property during the construction process, and was requesting a guarantee from the City that <br /> I this would not happen. He stated his client was also concerned about wetland designation, and <br /> who would bear those costs. He stated that a lettcr, listing these concerns, had been faxed to all <br /> Councilmembers earlier today. <br /> I Mayor Probst stated that the Planned Unit Development (PUD) did not appear to preclude future <br /> access to this property, and that the City was willing to discuss any future improvement plans <br /> I with Arden Towers. <br /> Mayor Probst inquired if Arden Towers felt any obligation to share costs of the requested <br /> Ie improvements. Mr. Langsev stated that his clicnts felt they wcre being penalized morc than <br /> other properties located in the Gateway Business District. Mr. Langsev stated his clients are <br /> I concerned about improper access, which could reduce property values, and were questioning <br /> why a sixty foot access was being dropped to a twenty foot access and was planned to be <br /> rerouted through a wetland area. <br /> I George Winiecki, 4170 Old Highway 10, came forward to address Council. He inquired <br /> whether the road would eventually continue east to Old Snelling, and if Thirteenth Street and <br /> I Fourteenth Street would eventually join. Mayor Probst stated both these actions had been <br /> discussed at one time, but are not being proposed at this time. <br /> I Mr. Winiecki stated that it was his opinion that the City Council should take the Department of <br /> Natural Resources' recommendation for doubling the lakeshore setback into consideration, as he <br /> feels the Phase I building is too close to Round Lake. He stated there are concerns about snow <br /> I piling up and possible drainage issues. He questioned whether a walkway could be placed <br /> around Round Lake with the Phase I building's present location. <br /> I Mayor Probst asked for further public comments. With none forthcoming, Mayor Probst closed <br /> the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. <br /> I Councilmember Hicks asked for clarification on whether the easement under discussion was for <br /> fourteen, twenty, or sixty feet. Mr. Stonehouse stated that the City was proposing twenty feet, <br /> .. the required width was fourteen feet, and Vaughan Towers was requesting sixty feet. Mr. <br /> Fritsinger stated that the current road had a sixty foot right-of-way, but was not currently <br /> improved. <br /> I <br />
