<br />City Council Work Session Meeting <br />February 21, 2006 <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />Members of the City Council agreed to continue the CIP discussion at a future work session <br />meeting. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Survey Requirements for Varianee Requests <br />Community Development Director Karen Barton provided the City Council with an overview of <br />the City's current survey requirements. At this time, the City currently requires all Land Use <br />applications to submit a professionally prepared survey as part of the application process. The <br />survey is used by City staff and the Planning Commission for analysis and to formulate a <br />recommendation. This is particularly important when the legal description of the property is <br />being affected or changed. <br /> <br />While surveys are important and even vital in many land use and variance requests, staff does <br />recognize that there are instances when a survey may not be necessary. The existing Arden Hills <br />application does not grant staff the authority to waive the survey requirement for residents. In <br />some cases this may be an unnecessary expense for the applieant. <br /> <br />Therefore, in order to better serve the residents of Arden Hills, staff is requesting that the City <br />Council consider authorizing City staff the ability to determine administratively if a survey is <br />necessary on a case-by-case basis. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked for an example where the survey requirement could be waived. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Barton noted that when a property's foot print is not <br />expanding, it would not require a survey. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmcmber Grant stated that he believed in the past, the Planning Commission did not <br />always require projects to have a survey completed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant agreed with the recommendation that the City staff should have the <br />authority to waive the requirement for a survey as part of the application proeess. <br /> <br />Members of the City Council concurred. This item will be placed on a future regular meeting <br />agenda for formal action by the Council. <br /> <br />Sign Moratorium <br />Community Development Director Karen Barton provided the City Council with an overview of <br />the proposed sign moratorium. Several months ago, the Cities of Eden Prairie and Hopkins were <br />charged in a lawsuit that alleged their sign ordinance violated an individual's freedom of speech <br />rights. These cases are still being litigated, but if the Cities of Eden Prairie and Hopkins would <br />lose their cases, sign owners would be allowed to install signs without size, lighting, or height <br />restrictions. <br /> <br />Due to the on-going litigation, City staff is proposing that the current sign ordinance be amended <br />to refleet recent changes to the Minnesota State Stahltes. The new ordinance may take six to . <br />twelve months to complete. Given that the City is potentially open legal litigation pertaining to <br />
