<br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />NOVEMBER 12, 2002 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst replied if the comments came in the next day or two, they would not <br />be rejected. Mr. Parrish noted if the Council wanted to extend the 30 day <br />deadline, they could do so. <br /> <br />Mr. Reimer replied they would accept comments concerning the AUAR through <br />Friday, November 15, 2002. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Scales stated he lived in the neighborhood for over 30 years and he had a <br />concern regarding the traffic. He stated he believe the numbers on the traffic <br />study were understated. He expressed concern about the traffic on Hamline <br />Avenue and commented that access to Hamline Avenue was already difficult at <br />this time. He indicated Guidant was a good neighbor and should be entitled to do <br />what they wanted, but Guidant's property was bounded to the west and north by <br />single family homes and those neighbors had some rights also. He noted Guidant <br />had done a good job with the Master Plan, but he believed there were other <br />alternatives that had not been explored. He believed the City Council and the <br />Planning Commission members should have attended the neighborhood meetings. <br />He noted the group to the west had submitted a petition regarding a traffic signal <br />and comments to the Council, but they had not received a response. <br /> <br />Mrs. Judv Franke, 1228 Wvnrid!!e Drive, thanked Guidant for working with the <br />neighbors. She noted Guidant was very approachable if people had any questions. <br />She noted there were still problems, including traffic, but Guidant was taking this <br />step by step. <br /> <br />Pat Krenn, asked if the City could update the Codes to include bicycle paths and <br />trails to encourage people to ride their bikes to work. He requested bicycle racks <br />also be added to the Guidant campus. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Grant moved and Council Member <br />Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case No. <br />02-25: Guidant Preliminary Plat and PUD with conditions as <br />outlined in the staffs November 6, 2002 report, revising <br />recommendation number three to read, "An updated traffic <br />study and parking capacity review be completed at the <br />. conclusion of Phase I development". <br />
