<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />OCTOBER 25, 2004 <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />He expressed concern that the Council approved a resolution in September to provide an existing <br />pathway along Lexington Avenuc be changed to a five-foot sidewalk. He indicated he used that <br />pathway as a running path and he would not use a concrete walkway because it will be too small <br />and too hard. He stated he also biked and would not use this pathway for biking. <br /> <br />He noted the City had always been fiscally conservative and he applauded that, but he reminded <br />the Council that the 2002 survey of the residents indicated that paths and trails were high on the <br />list. He noted pathways were important and kept a community together. He stated it was not a <br />good procedure after two or three open meetings, that the City Council made the change to a <br />concrete pathway. He reminded the Council that it was their duty to represent all of the citizens <br />and if there were any financial obligations to maintaining the pathway, that they look to the City <br />of Shoreview for assistance. He urged the Council to reconsider their position on this pathway. <br />He indicated the citizens needed to be involved. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the pathway had been brought up at the neighborhood <br />meetings. Mr. Holewa stated the Mayor had brought this up at the end of the neighborhood <br />meeting. He noted this had always been proposed as a pathway until September 27. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if he was advocating for a bituminous pathway. Mr. Holewa <br />stated he could live with a six-foot bituminous pathway, but not a five-foot concrcte pathway. <br /> <br />Council member Larson asked if they had any further information regarding the Shoreview <br />Council's position. Ms. Wolfe replicd she has not received any further information from the <br />City of Shore view. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski stated she had only heard from two residents regarding this. <br /> <br />Mr. Holewa believed this decision came too quickly and Council was not given sufficient time <br />to analyze this, He stated his property would have more right-of-way taken and all of the <br />properties along Lexington Avenue would be affected, including moving of fences. He stated <br />they needed to consider how many pathways there were from Highway 96 to 1-694. He noted <br />there wcre no paths. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson acknowledged the Council did not have sufficient time to look at this <br />and suggested they look at this again. He suggested they contact the City of Shoreview for their <br />thoughts also, He stated if they did something, they needed to do it soon. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would be willing to change this to a bituminous pathway. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated he would be willing to reconsider this also. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski directed staff to contact the County and inform them the City had changed <br />their mind and want to look at this again. She noted she was against this reconsideration due to <br />one Shorevicw Councilmember opposing this. She stated unless they got a formal request from <br />
