.ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—February 22, 2010 4 <br /> 2. Public Inquiries/Informational(continued) <br /> is a decision made. He clarified that it is the "minus ten-foot" language that has the potential to <br /> cause environmental impacts and this is what they would like to have evaluated before there is any <br /> determination. <br /> Mayor Harpstead stated the Council would review the documents. <br /> Mr. Clifford Bujold, 1134 Hunters Court, Arden Hills, expressed concerns regarding the recently <br /> passed increase in the utility rates. He asked what legislative or legally enforceable mandate the -- <br /> DNR has to require a municipality to set tiered water utility water pricing. He also asked what the <br /> Council's basis was for setting the break point of the new water pricing rates at 35,000 gallons <br /> and what was the basis for setting the price at $5.07 per thousand above the 35,000 gallons. He <br /> asked the Council to investigate the DNR directive and find out by what right they have to <br /> mandate this change. He also asked the Council to increase the number of gallons permitted <br /> before the higher rates take effect and to consider rescinding the tiered pricing pending further <br /> research. <br /> Mr. Bob Moser, Owner of Moser Homes, Inc., stated the people who signed the petition for the <br /> Shoreland Regulations are interested in saving open areas, green space and water quality. He <br /> clarified that the proposed changes regard the setbacks specifically and do not impact the floor <br /> area ratio, the impervious surface area or other things that impact water quality. He also pointed <br /> out that the proposed ordinance is more restrictive than the current ordinance and the "minus ten- <br /> foot" language allows the City flexibility. <br /> Mayor Harpstead closed the Public Inquiries/Informational at 7:28 p.m. <br /> 3.
