<br />ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - April 28, 2008 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked for clarification regarding why the number of households were not the <br />same throughout the document. <br /> <br />City Planner Lehnhoff will look into this because there is a difference between households and <br />housing units and these were technical definitions per the Census Bureau. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that the third sentence in section 7.2 needed to be changed. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that technical definitions could be in parenthesis so that readers knew <br />what was being stated regarding the definitions oftownhomes. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked if institutional housing was included in the chart on page 38. <br /> <br />City Planner Lehnhoff explained that the numbers were from the 2000 Census Bureau and that <br />he would check into the institutional housing. He also stated that an adjustment paragraph could <br />be added that reflected more up to date information. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung asked if the numbers Jll section 7.3 use the numbers from the <br />TCAAP projections. <br /> <br />City Planner Lehnhoff stated that these numbers are the newest numbers from the Met Council <br />versus the Census Bureau and they include the TCAAP projections. He also stated that the <br />sources for the numbers will be added throughout the document. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated that on page 41 the first sentence the phrase over time should be <br />omitted and rental comprises 15% and omit the word only. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked iftownhomes apply to these figures. <br /> <br />City Planner Lehnhoff will verify the numbers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that in section 7.4.2 in the first sentence everything after the word <br />housing should be omitted. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding specifying the type of housing and occupations. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the City Council to omit references to specific job categories. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that on page 43, the middle paragraph, the second to the last line, <br />should reflect that the Met Council did not state how dense it had to be. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding wording for the last sentence of the middle paragraph on page 43. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Council to use the wording continuing participation instead of <br />committed to. <br />
