Memo to City Council
Planning Case #01-32: Guidant Concept PUD
January 15, 2002
Page 2 of 4
e
Prior to investing a significant amount of time and resourccs into submitting a formal
master and final PUD request, Guidant is requesting a concept plan review to solicit
comments from the Planning Commission and City Council regarding future
development of the property. A concept plan review allows an applicant to solicit non-
binding comments from the Planning Commission and City Council prior to a full
submission of materials. If the applicant wishes to proceed with the project outlined in
the attached plan set, it would be necessary for them to submit application for a master
and final planned unit development. Guidant's application is based on a desire to have a
long term "master" plan in place for the property and to accommodate anticipated
business and employee growth on site.
The applicant has provided a packet of materials to support the Planning Commission's
evaluation of the concept PUD. This packet provides a variety of information and
support materials including a site data summary, compliance with particular zoning
requirements, and detailed building/parking information. Given the nature of the
application and materials prepared by the applicant, a comprehensive analysis has not
been provided in this memo. However, I would offer the following comments for the
Commission's consideration:
· On a fundamental level, this represents a significant intensification in land use
from what currently exists. More specifically, the proposal contemplates a
doubling of square footage and parking on the property. However, the plan
maintains much of the landscaping and natural features of the property.
· As the applicant's written statement indicates, the development will be phased
over a twenty year period of time as business and employment growth are
realized.
tit
· Given the increased volumes of traffic associated with full development of the
property, both internal and external traffic circulation becomes a significant issue.
It is anticipated that a traffic study will be a component of the applicant's Master
Plan PUD submission.
Fortunately, the property is in an advantageous position from a transportation
perspective since it is currently serviced by three County Roads (County Road F,
Lexington Avenue, and Hamline Avenue). These major arterials afford the
property quick highway access to 1-694 and Highway 611Snelling Avenue.
Copies of the concept plan were sent the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer for his
revlCW.
· The concept PUD contemplates vacating most of Fernwood Avenue and
dedicating the private street on the north side of the property currently referred to
as "Guidant Drive North." This would provide access to the existing properties
and city park currently served by Fernwood. A small portion of Fernwood would
remain to service Xcel Energy's electrical substation

Memo to City Council
Planning Case #01-32: Guidant Concept PUD
January 15, 2002
Page 3 of 4
. The Lake Johanna Fire lnspector indicated one potential problem with height of
the proposed structures. The Fire Department only has one 100 foot ladder truck.
Two of the proposed buildings are 135 feet, or 35 feet out of reach the existing
equipment. It is anticipated that this issue can be resolved through established
mutual aid agreements with adjacent municipalities. However, this will require
verification and further review.
. The Acting Director of Public Works has expressed some concern over past issues
associated with utility service to the property. On one occasion last summer, the
property experienced low water pressure that inhibited their operations. In
conjunction with the Master Plan PUD, the applicant should prepare a detailed
utility plan to mitigate against future problems. The City is currently in the
process of establishing water restrictions to prevent events such as this in the
future.
The applicant will be available at the meeting to provide additional information and
clarify any questions that you might have relative to this concept review.
Discussion Points
. Is the Council comfortable with the level/intensity of development contemplated
for the property (square footage, height of buildings, parking structures etc. . .)?
. What information, above and beyond what is traditionally provided
(building/parking structure elevations, site plan, survey, grading and utility plan,
landscape plan etc. . .), would the Council like to assist with the evaluation of a
Master Plan PUD application?
Planoiol! Commission Comments
. There were several comments relative to overall building aesthetics, design, and
materials. A desire was expressed to develop a unified design theme (not
necessarily identical) between the existing a proposed buildings and parking
structures. It was noted that color elevations, renderings, and related visual tools
would be helpful when evaluating the Master Planned Unit Development.
. The Commission indicated a desire for additional consideration to be given to the
parking lot of off Lexington Avenue adjacent to Building F. Specific
recommendations included landscape islands and berming.
. The phasing of buildings should be consistent with the provision of required
parking/parking structures.

Concept P.U.D.
Hamline Campus
December 3, 2001
Guidant Corporation
4100 N Hamline Avenue
Arden Hills, MN 55112
.
Written Statement
Size of Development:
Approximately 85.6 acres
Proposed 2.25 million square feet of building area, developed over a 20-year period.
Nature of Applicant's Interest:
Guidant Corporation is planning for substantial employee growth in the near and long term. It is
anticipating an employee population of 6,300 in the year 2015. A large portion of these positions will be
filled by highly trained, skilled professionals in the areas of research, manufacturing, sales and
administration. Guidant has recently acquired the 38-acre parcel of land immediately east of its 47-acre
headquarters site, forming a new 85-acre campus. The time is appropriate to initiate a conceptual campus
plan, which will accommodate the pressing growth being experienced by Guidant and also allow for future
development.
Development Concept:
The overall concept is to create a more unified campus capable of providing for Guidant's future employee
growth, while maintaining the relatively low visual impact the current development projects. The
development concept maximizes the amount of building square footage on the site while maintaining, even
increasing green space within the site boundaries. Current and future development will maintain and
enhance the existing "green edge" around the site, concentrate taller buildings toward the center of the
property, and substantially reduce the amount of surface parking by creating parking ramps which will
allow for the "greening'~ of the campus.
.
DensitylIntensity of Land Use:
Please refer to the following sheets.
Development Period and Phasing:
The development plan will be phased over a 20-year period. Construction of new buildings and parking
ramps will be coordinated with the projected growth in staff of Guidant Corporation. In the next three
years plans call for the following: a) Year 2002, design and construction of a new training center (Bldg. L);
b) Year 2003, begin expansion of building E (Additions I & J); c) Year 2004, complete building E
additions, construct 600 space parking ramp, start design of new tower (Bldg. K) and create "New Front
Door,"
Potential Modifications in Zoning Districts, etc:
Although the proposed development plan follows closely the underlying I-I zoning district guidelines for
building area, lot coverage and landscape area, we propose to establish a Planned Unit Development for the
entire site. Initial consideration given to vehicular and pedestrian circulation through the site and increases
in allowable heights of structures indicates benefit to both tbe City of Arden Hills and Guidant if a more
broad scope of planning ideas is introduced for discussion. The P.U.D. process is specifically designed to
allow for this type of comprehensive planning approach.
.
Reasons for Modifications from Zoning and Benefits to Public Interests/City Comprehensive
Development Plan:
The primary modification from the underlying I-I zoning classification requirements is the creation of
taller structures than is currently permitted. The maximum allowable height 005 feet severely limits the
ability of Guidant Corporation to create a development plan that accommodates their projected growth in
staff over the next 20-year period. We believe the size of the campus, approximately 85.6 acres, provides a
means to increase the height of a few structures without imposing visually, in an undue manner, upon the
surrounding neighbors. The concept plan, as submitted, achieves the necessary amount of building area to
support employee growth rates, while still maintaining approximately 48% of the campus as green space.
Additional benefits to the City include: A substantial increase in the tax base; strides towards
Comprehensive Plan goals related to trails, natural resources and land use mix; creation of thousands of job
opportunities for highly skilled professionals.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
City Administrator Joe Lynch
FROM:
Aaron Parrish, City Planner IrP
1-35W Corridor Coalition Transportation and Redevelopment Priorities
SUBJECT:
DATE:
January 15, 2001
Overview
As the Mayor and Council are aware, the 1-35W Corridor Coalition has undertaken a variety of
transportation, land use, and related studies since the organizations inception. In addition, the
Coalition has also facilitated the development of a comprehensive GIS mapping system for the
seven member cities allowing them to maintain up to date existing land use, future land use,
zoning, housing, demographic, and related data.
To take advantage of the type, level, and sophistication of the data and related resources
developed to date, the Coalition's Board of Directors has made a policy decision to be more
"action" oriented. Toward that end, each member community was asked to identify top
transportation and redevelopment priorities. It is anticipated that the identified priorities will
provide a foundation for the Coalition's 2002 legislative activities. The priorities will also serve
as readily identifiable examples when (he Coalition solicits funding from other
agencies/organizations. As a starting point, the following three priorities have been identified for
the City of Arden Hills:
Redevelopment Priority:
TeAAP
While it is not anticipated that any substantive legislative action will be required with regard to
TCAAP this legislative session, this is the ongoing redevelopment issue in Arden Hills. Further,
it is anticipated that support from adjacent communities will be an integral component as Arden
Hills takes a leadership in the redevelopment of the property.
Transportation Priority #1: Highway 96/1-35W Interchange / Reconstruction
Memo to City Council
I-35W Priorities
January 15, 2002
Page 2 of2
This would involve reconstruction of the I-35W Interchange and reconstruction of the portion of
Highway 96 from Lexington Avenue to Old Highway 8 in New Brighton.
Transportation Priority #2: Hamline Avenue
The reconstruction of Hamline Avenue from 1-694 to Highway 96 is currently an identified, but
unprogrammed project in Ramsey County's 2000-2002 Transportation Improvement Plan. The
following three issues have the potential to significantly impact the traffic flow and necessary
capacity of Hamline Avenue:
· Ramsey County is currently planning to locate a new Public Works Facility on TCAAP
property adjacent to Hamline Avenue. It is anticipated that County employees, maintenance
vehicles, and other users of the facility will place additional demand on Hamline Avenue.
· Guidant Corporation currently has a concept plan before the City to expand its existing 85
acre campus from 1,000,000 s.f. of gross floor space to approximately 2,000,000 s.f. of gross
floor space. Currently 2200 employees work on the site. If all the buildings are constructed,
Guidant estimates that 6400 employees would be located their campus. Development on the
property is expected to be phased in over a 20 year period oftime.
· Redevelopment of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant.
Summary sheets on each of the above have been attached for your review. In addition, the City
of New Brighton has preliminarily proposed a vehicular bridge over 1-35W where the existing
railroad bridge currently connects into West Round Lake Road. This bridge connection would
principally serve New Brighton's Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment. From their perspective,
they view this as a critical component of the overall traffic circulation in the area. However, the
desirability of the connection from Arden Hills' perspective requires further evaluation. A
"Transportation Project Summary" sheet prepared by New Brighton staff outlining the project is
attached for your review. Also note that a roadway connecting the new bridge to Old Snelling
Avenue is identified as a potential future action.
Discussion Points:
1. Are the priorities identified above acceptable and representative of the Council's
priorities?
2. What preliminary comments/staff direction does the Council have with regard to the City
of New Brighton's proposal?

Approximately 2370 Acres generally east ofI-35W, north of
Hi hwa 96, West of Lexin ton Avenue, and South of Count Road I
LOCATION:
PROJECT SUMMARY:
The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) occupies approximately 2,370 acres in
the City of Arden Hills. This represents about 38% of the City's total land area, or nearly 4
square miles. A majority of the site is owned by the federal government and is under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Ammunitions and Chemicals Command within the Department
of Defense. Ammunitions production has not occurred on the site since 1976. Currently,
fourteen EP A Superfund sites are in the process of being remediated on the property.
In 1994, Congressman Vento appointed the TCAAP Reutilization Committee. This group
was charged with developing a community based reuse plan for the site. In addition, the City
of Arden Hills has also developed a preliminary reuse plan based on the ideas and concepts
brought forth in conjunction with the Vento Reuse Plan planning process. A combination of
mixed use development and recreational development is contemplated. The City of Arden
Hills is currently working actively to identify potential redevelopment options for the
property.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrat
SUBJECT: 35W Corridor Coalition GIS
DATE: January 18,2002
CC: 35W Corridor File
Aaron Parrish, City Planner
Terry Post, City Treasurer
-
The 35W Corridor Coalition previously had GIS services housed in conjunction with the City of
Roseville. The Corridor Coalition and the City of Roseville have mutually agreed that they
cannot continue to meet the needs of both organizations under the current relationship. The 35W
Corridor Coalition has gone ahead and hired a GIS coordinator, paid for by contributions from
member cities for 2002 and going forward.
As a member of the 35W Corridor Coalition, I have been contacted by Joseph Strause, the
Administrator, about the possibility of the City of Arden Hills allowing the new coordinator to
use office space at the Arden Hills City Hall to "set up shop" and serve the 35W Corridor
Coalition cities.
I bring this to your attention because I would like direction from the City Council on whether or
not the City of Arden Hills wants to consider this request. The City of Arden Hills certainly
could benefit from having this position housed within our City Hall and we could negotiate with
35W Corridor Coalition Board in terms of the use of equipment, personnel, and information for
the benefit of the City of Arden Hills. We also could talk about a reduction in, or elimination of,
our share of the cost for this position. There would be other items to negotiate such as telephone
service, voicemail, license agreements, and network solutions.
If the City is not interested in pursuing this we need to indicate to the 35W Corridor Coalition
Administrator in short order so that they can pursue other possibilities. I would note that this
position has been filled already and the person is expected to start on January 28,2002.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator
FROM: Dave Scherbel, Building Official
SUBJECT: Arden Tower Update
January ]5, 2002
Tower update
Staff met with Mr. Vaughan on the 19th of December to receive the structural analysis of the
Arden Tower. The report included geotechnical and structural reports, as well as letters from the
original installers of the Tower. The report concluded that if 80 feet were removed from the top
of the Tower, and the Tower plumbed and retensioned, it would meet current safety regulations.
Staff indicated that the City was looking to have another independent report completed on the
Tower. One that would not only evaluate his report but do a complete analysis of the Tower.
Mr. Vaughan conveyed to staff that he would be willing to pay for an independent engineer to
evaluate his report, up to $1,000.00 dollars.
It appears that the Tower as submitted would have 25 antenna extending from the top six
hundred and twenty (620 feet) of the Tower, to the bottom fifteen (15 feet).
Staff also met with Jamie Wambach of American Tower to discuss their company performing a
complete analysis ofthe Arden Tower. American Tower submitted a price of $14,300.00 dollars
to perform a complete analysis of the Tower. Enclosed is a copy of the scope of work to be
completed by American Tower. One item missing from American Tower's scope of work is to
evaluate the report submitted by Mr. Vaughan. Jamie Wambach stated that evaluating the report
from Mr. Vaughan is a part of the scope of work and would revise their proposal accordingly.
Staff also mentioned the possibility of American Tower using some parts of the report submitted
by Mr. Vaughan, such as the geotechnical report, which includes pictures of all the Tower's
anchoring system, to reduce the total overall cost to the City. Jamie stated he would submit the
report by Mr. Vaughan to the engineer that would be evaluating the Tower, and if the engineer
was comfortable with parts of the report, there price would be adjusted accordingly.
Conclusion
Staff is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of the City to have a complete, independent,
unbiased, evaluation of the Tower; completed by a qualified, licensed engineer with the state of
Minnesota, to assure the exact status of the Tower. This would eliminate all questions relating to
the current safety of the tower, and allow staff and council to make the best informed decision as
possible.
Request
Staff requests that council approve the proposed scope of work to be completed on Arden Tower
by American Tower, and the proposed amount to be spent on the Arden Tower report not to
exceed fourteen thousand, three hundred dollars. ($ 14,300.00)

Mr. Dave Scherbel
City Building Official
City of Arden Hills
Arden Hills, MN 55112
Dear Mr. Scherbel:
Enclosed is the Ehresmann Engineering Report with attachments dated December 14, 2001 which
we have so long awaited. In addition I am enclosing a copy of a letter from the manufacturer, Rohn
Industries and also from Tom Pucci of Motorola. Tom is now a V.P. at Motorola but in 1981 he was the
salesman that sold me on the idea of erecting a tower for their use. If you have been following the business
news, Motorola is being sued by one of their former employees for about a billion dollars. Due to
restrictions placed on him by his legal department, Tom could not address the original antenna arrangement
for fear of getting sued again. You can underntand that they are extremely cautious in light of their past
experiences.
The letters are intended to address the question mised concerning the number of antennas on the
tower. The original illustration on the plan approved back in 1981 showed 15 antennas for purposes of
illustration. They were all at the highest levels possible, allowing for frequency separation, since that was
required of the technology at that time. David Brinker, V. P. of Engineering at Rohn Industries indicates in
his letter that the loading shown indicates the minimum strength requirements, meaning that the tower, as
originally designed, could possibly accommodate more antennas if a structural analysis determines that to
be possible. He also told me verbally that antennas at the higher level place more stress on the tower than
the same antennas spread more evenly down the tower. Some of those factors are the weight of the longer
coaxial cables and also the wind velocity at higher levels. The structma1 analysis attached hereto indicates
that the tower with the present loading meets TIAlEIA-222-F with y," ice loading hased upon reducing the
height by 80 feet and making a minor modification to one guy wire. It doesn't appear that it is necessary to
do anything further regarding that matter if it can be agreed that the antenna array originally shown was for
illustration and an indication of the tower's minimum strength requested at point of design.
We have scheduled all modifications identified in the Ehresmann report to be completed by Dietz
Brothers Tower Company of Spicer/New London as soon as possible. Alan Dietz advised me that weather
permitting they would do it as soon as possible after January I since they are booked until that time. They
will require five to six days of good weather, meaning temperatures above 20 degrees and very low wind.
I trust that this meets with your approval. If there are any unanswered questions or if you need
additional information please contact me and I will do my best to provide it. Thank you for all of your
effort concerning this matter. With your help, I believe we have come to a reasonable conclusion.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrato
SUBJECT: Water Restriction and Water
DATE: January 18, 2002
CC: Tom Moore, Parks and Recreation Director and Acting Public Works Director
Terry Post, City Treasurer
Backl!round
Previously, the City Council was presented with a proposed ordinance allowing the City to
declare a water shortage and restrict the water usage within the City of Arden Hills. The purpose
ofthe ordinance was to allow the City a vehicle, should it again be necessary to institute a
watering ban, to allow the Director of Operations and Maintenance the flexibility, in conjunction
with the City Council and City Engineer, to determine a water level that would necessitate such a
measure. With different circumstances, and taking into account weather factors, each declaration
made might be different. By not predetermining a specific level or specific number, the Council
and Maintenance and Operations Director have greater flexibility as to when to declare an
emergency, what conditions apply, and for how long.
Enclosed within is a copy of the ordinance with the changes suggested/recommended by the
Council. The position reference has been changed to Director of Operations and Maintenance,
the fee for violation has been changed from $10.00 per day to $25.00 per day.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the proposed ordinance with the changes as suggested
at their regular City Council meeting on January 28, 2002, publish the ordinance as required, and
put a water restriction and water usage ordinance into effect.
CITY OF ARDEN HII"LS
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
-
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE
Purpose
The Director of Operations and Maintenance, in agreement with City Council, shall determine
the minimal levels of municipal water supply necessary to adequately cover human consumption,
sanitary purposes, and fire fighting purposes. The City Council has the right to override any
decisions made by the Director of Operations and Maintenance. Any municipal water supply
less than the minimal levels established shall be considered a water shortage. When a water
shortage is determined, water restrictions will be declared in order to ensure conservation of
municipal water.
Water Restriction Notice
A water restriction notice will be posted on the City bulletin board and in the official City
newspaper. The water restriction notice may also be posted on the City's website, cable
television channel, or through local news broadcasts.
Water Restriction Rules
The Director of Operations and Maintenance shall determine the hours, length of time, and ~
properties affected each time a water restriction is imposed. The City Council has the right to ...
override any decisions made by the Director of Operations and Maintenance.
Water restrictions will apply to sprinkling for yards, vegetable and flower gardens, filling of
pools over I foot deep, car washing, hose spraying of yard or garden. Water restrictions will not
apply to any indoor water uses.
Exception
The watering restrictions will not include properties with private wells, or properties with new
sod. New sod is defined as sod or seed placed within 3 months prior to first date of water
restrictions. No other exceptions will be made.
Violation
Each commercial and residential property owner, or tenant of a property owner, will have 24
hours from the first date of publication in the City's official newspaper to comply with the rules
of the watering restriction. The water restriction notice will include the following:
.
Uses of the municipal water system which will be restricted
Times during which the rcstrictions will apply.
Whether the use restrictions will be absolute or vary depending upon location or
identification of property in relation to which water tower is being affected. ...
When the restrictions will be implemented and when they will terminate. ...
.
.
.
Ordinance

Use of the municipal water in violation of the watering restriction will be the responsibility of the
property owner living at the prope11y, or if no owners of the premises reside therein, then by the
adult person or persons in control of such property as tenants or managers for the owners.
For each day a property is in violation of the watering restriction, a $25 a day fine will be
assessed to residential properties and a $100 a day fine will be assessed for all commercial
properties. The total of all fines will be added to the quarterly water bill for that property.
Continued violation of the water restriction and/or non-payment of the fines imposed for
violating the water restriction may be cause for discontinuance of water service.
Residents and/or City staff may report violations to the Director of Operations and Maintenance.
The Director of Operations and Maintenance will visit the property, or direct other staff to visit
the property, to confirm the violation is occurring. Upon confirmation of the violation, the
visiting City staff person will leave a notice at the door indicating charges will begin the date of
the visit and will cease only when the property owner telephones City Hall to confirm their
compliance; or when the water restricting band has ended.
Effective Date: This ordinance shall become effective the day following its publication.
Adoption Date: Passed by the City Council of the City of Arden Hills
the day of 2001.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrato
SUBJECT: City Hall Use Policy and Fees
DATE: January 18,2002
CC: City Hall Building File
Tom Moore, Parks and Recreation Director and Acting Public Works Director
Backl!round
I have enclosed a copy of an update of the previously proposed City Hall Use Policy and related
fees. I believe all of the changes have been made as requested and suggested by City Council.
Council directed that staff contact surrounding and adjacent communities to get a sense, and
written materials, on what other cities allow for use and what they charge. I have enclosed the
information that was sent to us in response to our inquiry and request for that information.
Interestingly enough, the surrounding cities we contacted had a bit of a different scenario in that
they had Community Centers in connection with their City Hall or within their community for
public use and room reservation. Anecdotally, all cities contacted indicated that if they had to do
it aU over again, they would advise against us getting into the room use business. They all had
horror stories about the damage that has been done, even by the most benign groups, to the
rooms, the high maintenance costs and personnel costs they've had to put in to getting the rooms
ready for use, turning rooms around, sometimes in little or no time, and the administrative time
in tracking down and returning of keys, the return of damage deposit checks because of
insufficient funds, failure on the part of groups to provide the minimum requested cleanup, lack
of adult supervision, etc. Suffice it to say, the warned us not to get into the business of room use
after hours.
We continue to receive inquiries about the use of City Hall by groups that would like to use a
particular space on a long-term basis (Boy Scouts, Townhome Association, etc.). We have told
them that we are in the process of developing a use and fee policy, and when that is determined
we will let them know.

Recommendation
It is the recommendation of staff that if the City Council is posed to go forward with allowing the
use of the rooms on a prioritized basis after hours, Council establish the enclosed Use Policy and
fee schedule, and establish a specific date, the January City Council Worksession in 2003 at
which the information will be presented for review and consider whether or not to continue the
after hours use of City Hall rooms.

FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrat
SUBJECT: City Hall Building Usage and
DATE: December 13, 2001
Backl!round
Previously, I had presented and recommended some options for the prioritized use ofthe new
City Hall and realignment of meetings to accommodate usage for the building Wednesday
through Sunday.
There has not been a fee identified for the use of the building or other policy considerations. I
have attempted to put together a list of priority users, associated fees related to that usage, and
other policy considerations for long-term use and miscellaneous items.

Recreation (PTRC), Operations and Finance, Newsletter Committee, Website Task

. Special charge for use of the City Council Chambers - Due to the extent of improvements
and the cost of the audio visual equipment it may be appropriate to charge for use of the
City Council Chambers. The following fees would apply to all but Arden Hills
government, related government groups, and Minnesota Army National Guard groups.
o $100.00 damage deposit. (Damage deposit to be waived for any day time use,)
o $50.00 fee plus $10.00 per hour for each additional portion of an hour over four
hours.
Room Reservations
. No long-term reservations. No group or individual would be able to reserve a space on a
consecutive basis for more than one quarter (3 months) during the calendar year without
an opportunity for any other individual or group to have access to that space.
. No more than four consecutive uses of a space without that space being made available
for others. For example: If an individual wanted to reserve a room for four Tuesdays in
March 2002, they would be able to reserve those four Tuesdays but the first date after the
fourth Tuesday the room would become available on a first come, first served basis for
reservation. If another group wanted to reserve a room for use on the first Monday of
each month they would be able to use it on three consecutive Mondays for a quarter

based upon the above mentioned long-term reservation policy. After the third, 1st
Monday of the quarter, the space would become available on a first come, first served
basis.
In this way no group or individual would be able to reserve a space for more than either four
consecutive uses or three months.
Other Policv Considerations

. All groups or individuals will use the front door access only.
. Access to the second floor will be limited to Arden HiJls government groups or related
