ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - April 14, 2008 27 Conncilmember Holden stated that the City needs to have a more specific number of trips and a schedule that can be posted. Mr. Schroeder stated that speculation would be that there will be peak requirements in the morning and in the afternoon with circulating buses throughout the day but at this time he could not provide a specific number of trips. Councilmember Holmes suggested that the language should read Northwestern College shall provide at minimum 20 roundtrips per weekday during the school year by way of shuttle service to and from the subject property and the Campus so as to minimize students from driving to campus from the subject property. Councilmember Grant pointed out that specifying the frequency of the trips did not make sense without knowing the size of the buses being utilized. City Planner Lehnhoff stated that the condition could read: If the number of roundtrips per day are not sufficient as determined by the City Administrator the College shall provide additional roundtrips per day. MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved to adjourn. There was no second to this motion. MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember Grant to extend the meeting an additional 15 minutes. Motion carried 4-1 (Councilmember McClung) MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to amend Recommendation 5 to include the phrase: Northwestern College shall provide additional roundtrips per day as required by the City Administrator. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to add Recommendation 16 to read: The applicant shall prevent either through barrier or construction, the passage of traffic from the subject property to the property immediately to the left subject to the approval from Ramsey County and the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of an Occupancy Permit. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to add Recommendation 17 that there should only be two open curb cuts subject to approval by the Police, Fire and City Engineer. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Councilmember Holden stated that the language under Excessive City Service Use should include a number that needs to be incurred before the City asks for reimbursement.
