ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 30, 2008 16 Councilmember Holden asked if it would be a negotiated thing. City Attorney Filla stated that it would be. Mayor Harpstead asked if the City would be potentially acquiring some of the property that the manufactured home owner possesses and is it possible that negotiated settlements and things like land swaps be included? City Attorney Filla stated that there is a minimum relocation cost that the City has to provide but beyond that everything is negotiable. Councilmember Holden asked City Planner Lehnhoff what the Comprehensive Plan was showing for this triangle. City Planner Lehnhoff stated that the future land use designates this land as a medium density residential area and this is until 2030 but the plan would be revisited again in 2018. Mayor Harpstead asked if there were restrictions for changing of zoning. City Planner Lehnhoff stated that the Zoning Map should be in compliance with the Future Land Use Map. For the Zoning Map to change, the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map would have to be amended. He stated that the Comprehensive Plan can drive the Future Land Use and the Zoning Map should be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember McClung asked what would be involved with changing the Comprehensive Plan. City Planner Lehnhoff stated that the local part of this would have to go through the Planning Commission with a public hearing and then to the City Council. It is then sent to the adjacent cities and other applicable agencies and then to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval. Councilmember Holden asked if there was any binding resolution that the Council could make that could not be changed. City Attorney Filla stated that there was not. The City could adopt policy in the form of a resolution and then memorialize this in the form of a contract but this would have to comply with other contracts.
