<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />APRIL 29, 2002 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Council Member Larson asked if the value would come in higher than the County's assessed <br />value. Ms. McClung replied that was a reasonable expectation. <br /> <br />Council Member Grant asked for a brief history of Chapter 11 of the City Code and how it had <br />been applied in the past. Mr. Parrish replied he did not have the historical perspective as to that <br />Chapter. He stated there were many different factors, but in terms of practice, when land was <br />subdivided, that was when the park dedication fees were paid. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst concurred with Council Member Larson that unless they identified a reason for not <br />applying the standard, they should be looking to applying the criteria evenly under the City <br />Code. <br /> <br />Mr. Parrish stated the range was 6 percent to ten percent. This property was at the low end of the <br />range. <br /> <br />Council Member Aplikowski stated she was struggling with the fact that there was no sale of this <br />property and because of this factor, it differentiated itself from the usual procedure. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Council Member Aplikowski moved and Council Member Rem, seconded a <br />motion to authorize Planning Case 02-03, 4410 North Snelling, Minor <br />Subdivision with a $2,470.00 Park Dedication Fee, subject to the findings and <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he would support the motion, but he did not agree with the justification. He <br />stated he believed this would be a bad precedence to set. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst offered the following friendly amendment: The reason for making qualifications <br />from deviating from the standard was because the lot was a constituted lot and was a previously <br />existing lot. Council Member Aplikowski accepted Mayor Probst's friendly amendment. <br /> <br />Council Member Larson stated he would not support this motion. <br /> <br />Council Member Grant clarified the amendment still left the sum of $2,470.00 for the Park <br />Dedication Fee. Mayor Probst replied that was correct. <br /> <br />Motion carried as amended (4-1 Larson). <br /> <br />C. Planning Case 02-05: Guidant, Site Plan ReviewNariance Request <br /> <br />Mr. Parrish explained applicant was requesting a site plan review, setback variance, and height <br />variance to facilitate an 11 0,900 square foot expansion of Guidant Building F (former Control <br />Data Facility). The proposed plan also incorporated a skyway to existing Building F. The <br />Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan subject to certain conditions. <br />
