<br />t <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - January 9, 2006 <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />Ms. Wolfe asked if the new office would be a potential relocation for the existing office tenant <br />and if so, would there be a phasing for the construction. Mr. Wellington responded that was an <br />option. He noted them were a lot of smaller tenants on short-term leases in the existing building <br />and some might be incorporated into the new office building, but he did not believe all of them <br />would be willing to go into the new building, <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated they needed to remember this was a concept plan, but one thing <br />would remain the same, which was looking at incrcmental traffic, He indicated the tenant mix <br />was also important and noted certain retail and office buildings generated more traffic than <br />others. Mr. Wellington acknowledged his concern and noted they would need to prepare a <br />traffic study, which they have not done yet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant noted it appeared they would have fewer long-term tenants on this <br />property with the proposed redevelopment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden noted this area was a City gateway area and landscaping would be very <br />important. Mr. Wellington agreed this comer needed some thoughtful attention with Tespect to <br />landscaping and signage. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski stated she would prefer the grocery store concept instead of the drug store <br />concept. She agreed the redevelopment of the comer was essential however. She suggested they <br />place the taller buildings more toward the back of the site also, <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8;30 p.m. <br /> <br />Beverly Aplikowski <br />Mayor <br /> <br />Michelle Wolfe <br />City Administrator <br />
