ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—May 10, 2010 2 2.A. TCAAP Update (continued) City Planner Meagan Beekman stated Mr. Legare will be meeting with the Army next week to go over the draft Invitation For Bid (IFB) and if it is approved it is anticipated the City will get a copy for review the week of May 17. He also stated the IFB would include the special terms including the leasing and escrow requirements as well as the minimum bid price. The GSA plans on completing the hiring process for a marketing firm to handle advertising for the TCAAP Public Auction and once they are in place the exact dates of the second bidders' conference, which is tentatively scheduled for June 8, 9, or 10, will be set. The start date of the public auction will be based on the timing for the second bidders' conference but is anticipated to take place in the first week of July. The City Planner will be sending a copy of the draft zoning regulations for the TCAAP property to Mr. Legare to be included as an addendum to the IFB. Greg Mack, the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Director, met with Tony Bennett, Mike Fix, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to discuss the remediation process regarding the County park and open space requests. The Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee reviewed the proposed TCAAP zoning regulations at the April 27 meeting. The Planning Commission continued their review at their May 5 meeting, and they anticipated holding a public hearing at their June 9, 2010, meeting to make a formal recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed TCAAP zoning regulations. The draft zoning regulations are available for public review on the City's website. PUBLIC Mayor Harpstead opened the Public Inquiries/Informational at 7:07 p.m. Mr. Scott Scheunemann, 4075 Valentine Crest Road, Arden Hills, stated concerns about the PMP project on Valentine Crest Road. He stated he felt Valentine Crest Road was only being done as a part of this project because Valentine Avenue was being reconstructed. He stated that Senator Chaudhary was not able to meet with him directly but would like to be kept informed of this project because he is interested in knowing if the City is listening to its residents. The residents on Valentine Crest Road are against the reconstruction of their street even though there is a sag in the line that "may" cause problems. The residents would be supportive of a mill and overlay on Valentine Crest Road similar to what is proposed for Janet Court but they do not support a reconstruction of the road. A new road would not increase the value of these homes enough to offset the recent decline in the value of the homes. Mayor Harpstead closed the Public Inquiries/Informational at 7:10 p.m. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES None. 4. CONSENT CALENDAR A. Claims and Payroll B. Public Works Director Resignation
