<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session Meeting <br />February 27,2006 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff noted that this would provide a good stepping-stone for the development of the <br />TCAAP property. Ms. Barton reiterated that these would need to be two wholly separate <br />processes, but the TCAAP development standards should and would build upon the development <br />standards for the rest of the City. <br /> <br />Ms. Wolfe stated that one large piece we still need for TCAAP is the formulation of <br />development standards. But that we also need development standards for other redevelopment <br />and development projects in the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski noted that on Lexington Avenue, Red Fox, and Grey Fox Roads, we continue <br />to see development and redevelopment and would definitely benefit from having standards. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson stated that he felt this was a great idea and exactly what the City needs. He noted <br />that too often things happen at a Planning Commission or Council meeting and it's too late to do <br />anything at that point. He also felt that this would be a great tool for staff and an important one. <br />He further stated that he believes we've gotten a lot less than what he feels we should have in the <br />past eight years because we didn't have something like this in place. <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff stated that Arden Hills is a very desirable City for business to locate in and that he <br />has received numerous inquiries. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson also noted that the City has had other problems in the past with SUP's and PUD's <br />when the Council felt they had to depart from standards defined in the agreements in <br />negotiations with prospective businesses. <br /> <br />Mr. Grant stated that without development standards, the City will continue to get the basic store <br />that everyone gets. <br /> <br />Ms. Holden remarked that she agreed that this would be a great thing for the City, and let's move <br />forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski asked staff where things would go from here. <br /> <br />Ms. Barton stated that staff would formulate a plan to develop and implement development <br />standards for the City. She also noted that the plan would involve the Planning Commission, <br />residents, staff, and the Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson stated that TCAAP should be separate, but incorporated in the overall plan. <br /> <br />Ms. Barton confirmed that this is the intent. <br /> <br />. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 PM <br />
