~ ~~ILLS DRAFT CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION FEBRUARY 14, 2005, 8:30 P.M. CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 1245 WEST HIGHWAY 96 . CALL TO ORDER Mayor Aplikowski called the meeting to order at 8:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Beverly Aplikowski, Councilmembers David Grant, Gregg Larson, and Brenda Holden. Absent: Councilmember Lois Rem. Staff Present: Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator and Scott Clark, Community Development Director Others Present: John Shardlow, DSU . Council had asked Mr. Shard low and staff to give an update on the TCAAP Framework Plan. The Pla11l1ing Commission had recommended to the Council approval of the Plan at their February 2, 2005 meeting. Mr. Shardlow reviewed the Plan in general terms, the two year process of public input and key land use issues. In addition, Mr. Shardlow presented the funding of a Framework Plan. A gcneral discussion commenced and some Councilmembers were concerned that some portions of the Plan, including the term "Framework Plan" indicated either land use inflexibility or misrepresentation as to the ultimate land use intent. (For example, the purpose of the area marked as community recreation center is to serve as a place holder for some future significant public feature or structure. The intention of the plan was not to state that only a community recreation center could serve the purpose of a significant public feature). Direction was given to amend the plan as follows: I) Rename the Framework Plan to Framework Vision. 2) Rename sports facility to potential athletic fields. 3) Rename community recreation center to potential community/civic center 4) Rename transit center to potential transit center. This item is scheduled for review and action at the February 28,2005 City Council Meeting. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. .
