Staff was directed to bring to Council at its April 28, 2003 meeting as a discussion i tern. 4.B Recvcle Contract/Bins Staff was directed to bring to Council at its April 28, 2003 meeting as a discussion item. 2.D USPS Resolution . Mr. Parrish presented a draft resolution that indicated a postal facility would not be compatible with the vision of the Vento Plan or the TCAAP Framework Plan because a large postal distribution facility would negatively impact the mixed use character of the Vento Plan so as to endanger, if not preclude housing, commercial and recreational development; that to adopt a disjointed development model involving the United States Postal Service would undo years of planning and preparation by numerous individuals and groups to prepare for the reutilization of the site; this finding is based on the noise, traffic and visual impact created by a large postal distribution facility; and that this use does not promote the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Arden Hills. The Council reviewed the contents of the draft resolution and made several suggestions, all agreeing that a postal service distribution facility does not fall within the scope and vision for the development of the TCAAP site. Councilmember Larson stated he felt the City needed to know and guide what the development team was lobbying for and against regarding the development of the TCAAP site. The Council agreed that involving the newly appointed Metropolitan Council representative in the process would be a prudent move at this point. . The Council directed staff to bring forth the resolution to it at its April 28, 2003 meeting.
