<br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />JULY 26, 2004 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />with any current legislation, He indicated it was important the City did not lock itself into old <br />legislation. He noted if they were granting an extension it was important to be looking at current <br />data, such as current traffic analysis, ete, and they should build that into some criteria for <br />extensions. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski asked if 48 months was a reasonable time period to obtain a final plan, <br /> <br />COllncilmember Larson stated he was comfortable with 48 months, as long as the City <br />Attomey's recommendations were part ofthe conditions of granting an extension, <br /> <br />COllncilmember Aplikowski asked ifthey wanted to look at a 36 month time period, She stated <br />she liked the 36 month time period, <br /> <br />COllncilmember Rem stated she did not have a strong preference for either 36 or 48 months, but <br />she agreed they needed to ensure that applicants realized when applying for extensions, there <br />might be one or more reasons that had come to pass where they would no longer get the City's <br />permlSSlOn. <br /> <br />Mr. Filla stated bascd upon this discussion, staff could come back with a draft of <br />recommendations. He stated right now one of the things that did not encourage people from <br />submitting applications they are ready to develop was because of the unlimited extensions and if . <br />the City had a certain end date, the applicant would know they needed to be serious about <br />submitting an application, He stated he liked the idea of having an end date. However, Council <br />also needed to realize that there would be exceptions to end dates. <br /> <br />COllncilmember Larson stated he wanted applicants to realize there might be a price to be paid <br />when requesting extensions, such as the laws changing and the development no longer having <br />Council's approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Filla stated this process would apply morc to POO's rather than variance requests, He <br />indicated this would apply to long-term projects and not the smaller residential applications. He <br />suggested they have some type of an Extension Agreement signed by both the City and applicant. <br />He stated this would clearly indicate what would be required of each party. <br /> <br />Conncilmember Larson requested staff to develop language for a POO that the applicant would <br />not move heyond a concept plan until there are finn plans to build the development. <br /> <br />COllncilmember Grant stated he believed they would have the same issues they have right now <br />even with a concept plan. Councilmembcr Larson agreed they would have the same issues, but <br />Council would not be approving a project when it was not ready to be built. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Karth Lake: Approve Appointment of Board Members <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Siddiqui stated in September, 2003, the City Council established the Karth Lake <br />Improvement District and adopted its By-Laws.
