PUBLIC INQUIRIESANFORMATIONAL Anders Sundberg- 4294 Colleen Circle — Before the discussion on broadband, he wanted to give some framing around the proposed fiber build out in the City of Arden Hills. He has looked into the franchise model. Typically they will build out 100% of the city but the catch is the fiber franchise fee they will propose can be directly charged to the end consumer. He looked at other possible options to get the same build out. One is a master lease agreement. You are leasing space in the public right of ways. That would keep that 5% from being billed to residents. The downside is this is a lease agreement and they would choose where they want to build. There is no legal way to force them to build out the whole city. Another option is a public/private partnership, know as a P3. This would include a commercial contract that would guarantee 100% build out. While this option avoids the complexity of the other two options, it requires the city to actively cooperate and provide engineering and zoning to keep the contract in its entirety. 2. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES None. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 2 3. AGENDA ITEMS A. Broadband Franchising Discussion Michael Bradley from Bradley Warner said he was here to talk about broadband franchising. The first broadband franchise, in the State of Minnesota, was negotiated at the end of last year. The City of Woodbury created the South Washington County Telecommunications Commission (SWCTC). The franchise was established between SWCTC and a company called Intrepid. Intrepid operates an open access system. Their main client will be T-Mobile. That construction is beginning in the City of Woodbury this year. Mr. Bradley outlined the many benefits to franchising broadband. Minnesota state statute includes a build out requirement that will be followed. There will be annual meetings with the provider. He said the SWCTC franchise term is 15 years. There are strong customer service provisions. There are discounts available through the franchise for seniors and disabled residents at no less than 10%. The City's public right of way (ROW) is a valuable asset and the City should be compensated fairly for the use of that. Mr. Bradley said that providers would prefer permits be issued for whatever location they want to build. However, there is no guarantee the whole city would be built out. Permits limit the City to collecting permit fees to cover the cost of permitting. There is no fair consideration for use of the ROW. There is also no customer service benefits, no discounts, no mandatory build out and no quality of service guarantee. Mr. Bradley outlined some legal conclusions that ruled definitively that the broadband companies are information service companies, not telecommunications companies. Minnesota state law prohibits franchising telecommunication users. State law requires cities to franchise cable communication systems. Broadband systems fall under the definition of cable communication systems. Mr. Bradley said a common question is what if we already issued permits to some broadband companies. It's not too late. The choice to franchise can come after the facilities are already in the ROW. Mr. Bradley addressed the speaker during Public Comment who expressed concern about the franchise fees being passed through to users. That provision applies to cable television operators it doesn't apply to broadband providers. In the Woodbury franchise the City and Commission agreed to allow the operator to pass through. They didn't have to do that. The broadband provider said they didn't intend to pass it through because that's not part of their business plan. He outlined a case brought that seeks an order from the FCC that would preempt the City and the Commission from franchising broadband providers. That matter is currently pending. Another case was brought by an affiliate of AT&T against a commission after that affiliate purchased the fiber assets of another entity. Mr. Bradley said broadband franchising is the future of franchising for local governments. Cable subscriptions are declining rapidly. As a local government advocate, this is important long term. Mayor Grant said he heard as providers come into neighborhoods there are a lot of disruptions through borings to minimize a trench installation. Those disruptions increase in a cul-de-sac. Our ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 3 community has a lot of distinct neighborhoods. He said he is hearing that without a franchise agreement, companies can choose to avoid certain neighborhoods. Mr. Bradley confirmed. Without a franchise agreement, the broadband provider decides where to go. Councilmember Rousseau is concerned about underserved communities will not be serviced without a franchise agreement. She asked what revenue can be generated. Mr. Bradley said he doesn't have specific numbers for Arden Hills. There are over 20 cities who have started to require franchises. However, the only franchise that has been negotiated and approved is the SWCTC. To get an estimated number you would multiply the average cost of broadband service times the number of households in the city. You then multiply it by the take rate of the company that comes in to build it out. Discussion ensued regarding the historic of court cases with the appeal process and prior rulings of the Supreme Court. Councilmember Monson said the FCC case has a lot of life left. Would the result of that case be a deal killer for franchise agreements? Mr. Bradley said they are asking for preemption of the city's franchise requirement and the commission's franchise requirement. It would have a negative impact on all Minnesota cities. He agrees the FFC decision could be a couple of weeks or many months once the comment periods are done. It will likely be appealed, regardless of the outcome. Councilmember Holden thought the providers will increase rates in order to recapture the franchise fee if they can't pass them through to the customer. Mr. Bradley said the SWCTC did not regulate the provider's rates. The provider may choose their own rate. He negotiated the franchise fee. In that instance the commission allowed the provider to pass through the franchise fee. Councilmember Holden asked if the plan is to put together a similar package as the SWCTC agreement. Mr. Bradley said it will be a similar process. They will talk to each city that is impacted by a potential franchise before talking to the provider. They would establish franchise priorities and the franchise fee, along with determining the pass through option. Councilmember Holden said we went with the North Suburban Cable Commission (NSCC) because they take care of negotiations. They have such a large pool that we will be able to do a lot more for our community. Councilmember Weber said we fund Nine North as a member of the Cable Commission through cable fees and PEG fees. He isn't sure how PEG fees play into the franchise fee discussion. A big factor is the franchise fee we get from cable. What are the trends for cable, in general, vs. broadband usage? ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 4 Mr. Bradley said when talking about PEG fees, the acronym stands for Public Education and Governmental access television fees. The Comcast franchise with Arden Hills is 3% gross revenue fee that was negotiated in 2014, that's in addition to the 5% franchise fee. The 5% goes almost entirely to the City, with a little going back to the commission for administrative things. The PEG fee goes entirely to the commission to fund Nine North and access television. That model has worked for many years. There is a change happening with those PEG fees and franchise fees on cable television. They have been declining over the last 10 years, at approximately 10% per year. It will significantly change the revenue that comes to the commission and the city. The future of franchising and fair ROW consideration is broadband franchising. Broadband will continue to expand. Mayor Grant said the city has no control over customer service. If we have a franchise agreement, we can hold the fiber provider to some level of customer service. Mr. Bradley confirmed. With no franchise agreement, customers are left to call the 1-800 number. With a franchise agreement we will have a local number where complaints are answered by Nine North. There would be penalties and liquidated damages to help with enforcement. Councilmember Monson appreciated all of the information. She asked about the resident who spoke during Public Comment. He mentioned three different structures. She asked for an explanation on why franchise is the option, over the other two. Mr. Bradley said the provider isn't interested in the other options. Councilmember Rousseau said if we have customer service issues and they were not complying with the contract, we would go to a judicial process vs. the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Mr. Bradley confirmed. The PUC has zero authority over broadband. Councilmember Rousseau calculated a guess, based on the formula outlined earlier. It would be about $27,000 and she didn't calculate multi -family housing. Mr. Bradley reiterated that is only a guess but noted whatever the amount is, it's annual. So ten years out, we'll still be collecting those fees. Councilmember Weber noted that the buildout of Rice Creek Commons is an ideal place for this. There will be a significant number of homes there. He said discussions at the communications commission have surrounded Comcast eliminating a cable news channel. He tried relating that to broadband. He thinks of metering of data and data caps. There have been discussions on oversight over the services we have. He asked if there any provisions related to that in the SWCTC agreement. Mr. Bradley said it could be under the customer service provisions. There are also provisions in there that reserve the right to regulate rates. Each agreement is different, based on the needs of the community. Mayor Grant said a franchise agreement would allow the city to have standards in terms of construction and remediation after the digging. It gives us more control than just issuing a permit. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 5 Mr. Bradley confirmed. One thing SWCTC did was ensuring it applied to the franchisee as well as any subcontractors. Discussion ensued regarding how many boxes will be required to install. It is approximately every 2-3 houses. Further discussion ensued regarding satellite service. Satellite television is subject to different regulations because they don't occupy the public ROW. B. 3717 Lexington Avenue — Chase Bank Concept Review Community Development Director Reilly introduced Senior Planner Elena Fransen who was joined by Dan McAuley, Senior Designer with Colliers Engineering & Design, representing the property ownership and property management groups. Senior Planner Fransen said Council is being asked to review the concept plan for a Chase Bank located in the parking lot of the existing Cub Foods. The zoning is B-3, Service Business District. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) established the Cub Foods and the future land use for the site is commercial. The concept would subdivide the existing parcel for a single story, 3,276 square foot Chase Bank location, with a drive through lane and a bypass lane. The proposed location is the southeastern portion of the parking lot. Senior Planner Fransen said this proposal would reduce the parking spaces in the Cub Foods lot by 79 spaces. There is shared parking with Shannon Square Shopping Center. The parking calculations will include parking spaces that are shared between the different sites and this additional third site. Access would be through the Cub Foods parking lot to the north and from a shared entrance for Shannon Square to the south. There would be a curb island to separate the drive lane from parking spaces. She provided a graphic that shows how traffic will flow through the site. She outlined the elevations provided by the applicant, noting cement and stone veneer are the proposed building materials. Senior Planner Fransen said a subdivision will be required. It could be a subdivision or final plat, depending on how the parcel is created from the existing Cub Foods. A portion of the Shannon Square property could be allocated for this site as both sites are under the same ownership. A PUD is required for new developments in the B-3 zoning district. This could allow for additional performance standard flexibility. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for a drive -up window in the B-3 zoning district and the code criteria has been evaluated based on the concept materials. A site plan review is required for a PUD and CUP, requiring city approval. Councilmember Holden asked if this building would have its own water and sewer lines. Public Works Director Director/City Engineer Swearingen said it appears they are connecting to existing water and sewer that connects to the Cub building. Councilmember Holden said Cub has had problems with their water line several times. Those issues need to be resolved so the new building wouldn't flood. She has an issue with the look of the west side of the building. It faces restaurants. It should look nice. People sitting at restaurants aren't going to want to look at that. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 6 Mr. McAuley said he can discuss that with the Chase design partners prior to submitting the application. He said that area of the floor plan serves the "back of house" functions for security reasons. He asked if the request is transparency or architectural elements. Councilmember Holden said architectural elements. She said the Cub parking lot hosts a fireworks retailer and a garden center in the summer. Will that still be allowed? Senior Planner Fransen said Staff discussed that with the management company. If this moves forward, a full review of the plans would have to take place to make sure they are meeting the standards for outdoor sales. Discussion ensued on the size of the drive lane in front of Cub. It was noted the parking lot is busy and there is one stop sign and more may be required. Directional signs can be used to direct traffic in such a way that it is clear to drivers which way to go. Councilmember Weber said the water line will need to support fire suppression. He assumes that will be a part of the review. Staff confirmed. Mayor Grant said hours of operation will probably be standard banking hours. He asked if any parking lot usage will be permitted with Cub, for off hours. Mr. McAuley said the bank will have a drive through ATM and night deposit. There is typically a vestibule in buildings like this, with 24 hour access to an ATM. Mayor Grant asked if the spaces at the bank would be available for Cub customers when the bank is closed. Mr. McAuley will check to confirm. But it is his belief that there are no dedicated parking spaces specifically reserved for Chase Bank. Mayor Grant asked about the plan for snow removal. He doesn't need that answer today but would like to see it addressed during the site plan review. He said Cub was constructed with a sizable water run off facility under the parking lot. He said there are giant caverns under the parking lot. He asked if this development will tie into those. If not, how will water runoff be dealt with? Mr. McAuley said he will make a note to ensure the engineers summarize that plan. He said this project wouldn't increase the pervious coverage, it's being reduced slightly. The site would be graded to shed general water toward the existing storm structures. Discussion ensued that the Lake Johanna Fire Department would review this plan. Possibly the Sheriff, as well. The concept representatives have reached out to LJFD for the rules and regulations while they were looking at the site. Fire truck turn radiuses are part of a typical review. Discussion ensued regarding the property ownership group wants to effectively utilize the property. The parking lot is not consistently full. An empty lot doesn't generate revenue. Further discussion ensued that a national trend is that brick and mortar stores are under served and over parked, in ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 7 many places. Chase can come into a shopping center and take up a little bit more real estate and create a destination point that serves multiple purposes. Councilmember Rousseau asked how many employees a building like this would have. Mr. McAuley he thinks 4-6 at any given time during the day, depending on business need. Councilmember Rousseau said the Pace site is empty. Will there be any issues with traffic, if that site becomes fully functional 5 years from now. Senior Planner Fransen said the applicant provided a traffic study of existing intersections. Because there is no user for the Pace site it is difficult to compare that against existing conditions. This project would not see a lot of changes for the intersections that would serve this site. Any user going into the Pace site would have to review the traffic impacts of that use. Councilmember Monson is generally okay with the proposal. She agrees with Councilmember Holden that the back side could be more aesthetically pleasing. She asked if we have an estimate on the tax revenue increase. Senior Planner Fransen said she doesn't have that information but can put something together. Councilmember Monson said that would be a good thing to include for all concept reviews. She noted a turn on the traffic flow graphic that isn't clear how cars move through there. She thinks the turn lane is a tight turn and it concerns her. She said there was a recent Council discussion that said PUDs were used for projects approved any later than 2008. She asked how this site will be handled. Community Development Director Reilly said this will be reevaluated since they are taking on a big chunk of parking lot. Councilmember Monson noted a criterion for drive -up windows is that the proposed location is not within 400 feet of a church or residential area. What is the intent of that provision? Senior Planner Fransen said that is related to drive -through businesses and drive -up windows. It has changed over time to manage traffic and impact to other uses. This case identified that there is a church and residential uses on the other side of Lexington Avenue. Councilmember Weber thought that there is a difference between a drive -through window where you are interacting and a drive -up window where you do business. Discussion ensued regarding stone vs. stone veneer. It is just a thinner stone. That's an acceptable construction material. The materials in this proposal include a limestone veneer stone and the darker brown and gray colors on the graphic are a fiber cement simulated wood siding. Councilmember Weber said this will create a separate parking lot. He thinks legally those parking spaces will belong to Chase unless there is a parking agreement. Mr. McAuley would need to review the lease agreement. Sometimes Chase has negotiated for a certain number of dedicated spaces. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 8 Discussion ensued that this is a concept review and the building materials can be determined during application. Everyone agreed they want a high -quality building using superior materials. The applicant provided location information of a similar recent build so Councilmembers could tour the site to have a better understanding of what this will look like. Further discussion ensued that construction averages 220-230 days once they have approvals and permits in hand. Councilmember Holden asked how parking for Cub and Shannon Square will be accommodated during construction. Mr. McAuley said they submitted a plan to the ownership group that indicated the construction entrances. He indicated the flow of traffic on a graphic. There was general Council consensus with the concept plan. There are some design questions to be answered during the application process. C. Election Sign Policy Community Development Director Reilly said during the previous discussion he heard concerns regarding enforcement rather than the regulations of election signs. He put together a cover memo on the potential policy along with a handout that makes it clear where signs can go. There is no size limit. It needs to be built sturdily. Keep it clear of driver sight lines. Measure five feet from the roadway/curb edge to the sign edge. Councilmember Holden isn't sure if it should say any size works. She says this explains that it will have minimum impact to City Staff. She said Attachment C outlines that Staff will make an attempt to contact the right person if a sign is in violation. That seems like what they are doing now, except not taking the sign. It sounds like more work. She remembers there being conversation about placing information on the sign explaining the violation and the remedy. Community Development Director Reilly said attempts to contact the owner will be made when the sign needs to be removed. If it does not need to be removed there will be guidance document with it. There are going to be some cases when we have to take a sign due to safety concerns. Those signs will be held at City Hall and the owner can pick it up. Councilmember Monson walked through the steps. There is a complaint. The City Staff goes out to confirm if it is out of compliance. If yes, they make an attempt to notify the owner. If they can't, they remove the sign and leave it in a safe place by their primary entrance with direction on why it was pulled. It sounds like there is staff discretion. The sign would be brought back to City Hall if the sign is placed on land owned by the city or utility pole. She is okay with this proposal. She asked how to minimize the work on Staff if there is a complaint. How soon after a complaint is made, does someone go out? How long do we give before we follow up? Councilmember Rousseau said there were 100 calls during the last election. She would like Public Works to keep track of how many calls are received this election cycle. She likes the idea of placing educational information to let them know when they are not in compliance. She wants to avoid taking signs, if possible. Councilmember Holden she asked why bringing it to the primary entrance was suggested. She thinks laying the sign down in the yard and put a sticker on it would save Staff time. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 9 Community Development Director Reilly said placing a sign down on a lawn could harm the grass and it could blow away, depending on the weather. Councilmember Holden said a lot of people don't use their primary entrance but she's fine with that. If a sign is 4 feet 6 inches, it needs to be addressed if someone calls. City Administrator Jagoe recalls discussing that Staff may be attempting to make contact with the homeowner as an opportunity to educate them on the reason the sign is being pulled. If we are unsuccessful at engaging with the homeowner, it makes sense to place the pulled sign in a safe place until the homeowner can get that information. Mayor Grant said this is a policy for City ROW, not for County or State ROW. Community Development Director Reilly confirmed. We don't enforce those roadways. Discussion ensued on language that states a sign shall not be posted more than 70 days prior to an election. That is not intended to be 70 prior to the general election. The rules simply state "election" and does not specify general or primary. If no one complains, there is no City involvement. State Statute reads that signs must be removed 10 days after an election. Our code is silent on that requirement and defers to statute. Discussion ensued regarding Staff having discretion and that discretion being written into the document. There were some questions on what that entails. The rules need to apply to everyone and the rules need to be enforced. City Administrator Jagoe said there were over 100 complaints last election season, that City Staff followed up on. We have to go out to the site to verify the distance, if a complaint is made. If they were not in compliance, we would pull the signs and bring them back to City Hall. Then there were calls trying to determine if we pulled the signs or if someone else did. If we did have the sign, we had to coordinate returning them when the resident came to City Hall. The discretion part will be if there is a safety element or if it's on City property. We must respond and verify the distance, if there is a complaint. Perhaps there can be one day a week when election sign complaints are investigated. He can get through as many as possible in the allotted time and anything left would be investigated the next week. These calls wouldn't get priority over building inspections and other code enforcement. During the last cycle we were following up immediately as they came in. It felt like it became a daily enforcement. Having a structured planning process may limit the continuous cycle of being in election sign enforcement. Councilmember Weber said this is what he meant by staff discretion. He thinks Staff has a good grip on this in determining the best course of action. Councilmember Rousseau likes the idea of limiting enforcement to one day. She trusts the professional judgement of Staff. Councilmember Holden wants to verity that it is 5 feet. We can't let one candidate have theirs at 4' 6" while another has to stay at 5 feet. Community Development Director Reilly said a rule should be a rule. If there is room to move the sign, the fastest and easiest way would be for Staff to move it to the right distance. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 10 Councilmember Holden said it is up to the candidate to make sure their signs are placed properly. D. Rice Creek Commons Discussion Councilmember Holden said she wants the definition of phasing. If we are parceling, that's different than phasing. In talking with the Metropolitan Council, regarding SAC and WAC fees there may be an issue with moving the credits, depending on how we're doing it. Phasing could have one definition, but when we start splitting phases into parcels, parcels are different. Councilmember Monson asked if Councilmember Holden talked to the Met Council on her own. Councilmember Holden confirmed she has talked to Met Council about these credits for many years. Councilmember Monson asked if she spoke to Met Council in regards to this specific agenda item. Councilmember Holden said she didn't talk to them about this, specifically. Councilmember Monson wants to make sure that if those conversations are happening, she would like Staff to be a part of that. She wants her information about what Met Council says to come from Staff. It sounds like Councilmember Holden has a lot of historical information that she wants to make sure is checked. Councilmember Holden said if she has a question on SAC and WAC fees she has a right to call Met Council and ask questions. She isn't going to have Staff on every call because a lot of things happen with other Councilmembers that doesn't go through Staff. Councilmember Monson understands Councilmember Holden has full right to call Met Council. She just wants to make sure Staff has the same information, so when they speak to it, we all get the information. Councilmember Holden said knowing that the JDA doesn't really know what they are doing. Councilmember Weber interjected that was an absurd statement. Councilmember Holden asked if she could finish her sentence and indicated she has the floor. Councilmembers Holden and Weber continued to exchange words. Councilmember Holden asked again if she could finish her sentence. Mayor Grant commented multiple times that Councilmember Holden has the floor. Councilmember Holden said the JDA doesn't know how they're phasing it or how they're selling it to different developers. They are talking about things at advisory meetings. None of that is set in stone and those things have not been created. Is that true? ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 11 City Administrator Jagoe said Staff is seeking direction on if Council is interested in working with Met Council to combine these two parcels to use the SAC credits over the entire Rice Creek Commons development. If Council directs to proceed with this approach, she will work with Met Council to determine a phase development plan that meets their submittal requirements. Then Council would be asked to approve a resolution. She doesn't know what that development plan is today. She will have to put something together that meets Met Council's satisfaction to receive this combination of these two parcels. This may need to be amended as phases are built out and parcels change, but that is information to be confirmed with Met Council. Council recessed the Work Session at 6:53 pm. Council reconvened the Work Session at 7.56 pm. Councilmember Monson would like Administrator Jagoe to present exactly what she is looking for so that we're all working from the same page. Councilmember Holden asked if the construction of Micro Control began the 5-year phasing clock. City Administrator Jagoe said no. She said the Rice Creek Commons (RCC) discussion about the drafting the cooperative agreement language is ongoing with City and County Staff. One of the items is with regards to the Outlot A parcel and the California parcel. The Met Council charges a SAC fee for new residential, commercial, industrial or institutional development or redevelopment. This is for wastewater going into the regional wastewater sewer system. Met Council has a formula that they use to determine what equals one unit. If a building is demoed there are typically credits attached to that parcel that can be allocated towards future development. When the larger TCAAP area was demoed there were over 300 buildings. There is a site map that has been approved by Met Council that shows where the credit parcels are. Outlot A had credits specific to that land. The California parcel has credits specific to it. City Administrator Jagoe said Council is being asked to discuss the RCC property. The memo outlines the site -specific allocation of those credits. Using the 2024 Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) maximum development scenario we can estimate what Met Council will estimate future SAC development charges. The City collects those fees as part of our building permit process. We serve as a pass through. That money is remitted to Met Council. With the SAC credits we can keep the revenue dollars to fund public infrastructure items. There are about 4,500 total credits between Outlot A and the California Parcel. The majority of them being attached to the California parcel. We can submit a phased development plan to Met Council. That would require resolution from the Council. It would allow for the combination of these two parcels and those credits can be dispersed across the entire development area. We would be able to use credits from the California parcel on to future development of Outlot A. Staff estimates with a maximum number of residential units in the AUAR we would have about 3,400 credits that would be used for those development scenarios. If we combine these parcels there would be 4,500 credits. Does Council want Staff to proceed with putting together what would be a development plan? We would review that with Met Council Staff to ensure we've met their criteria. Then we'd bring that back to Council for consideration and adoption of a resolution. This would be a policy direction that says we are going to use these credits but are going to still charge the developer the SAC fees. The City would keep the revenue dollars and Staff would bring back for discussion for how we would use those fees to fund which public infrastructure items. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 12 Discussion ensued that there are 4,550 credits. Staff anticipates we would only use 3,400 of the credits at the AUAR maximum build out. That would be the revenue that would come to us. If we didn't completely build it out, we would collect less. A SAC charge is roughly $2,500. That calculates to approximately $8.5 million. Councilmember Holden said it used to be that the phasing had to be done in five years in order to use the credits like that. Has that changed? City Administrator Jagoe will go back and confirm that and will include it in the future memo. Her understanding is there is a 5 year phase development plan but she isn't sure how that is triggered if it's at the time of the first building permit. Then you continue to renew that with Met Council. She will get that information for the future resolution memo. Councilmember Holden said there are different areas within the California parcel where the credits can be used. She asked how it got combined. City Administrator Jagoe indicated the only map the Met Council has given her shows the California parcel as one. She'll include that map as part of future discussion. Councilmember Holden asked for confirmation that we are going to bill a developer for the WAC charge and then just keep the money. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. If Council adopted this resolution and we submitted it to Met Council for approval, a future developer will apply for their building permit and go through the determination process with Met Council. This is standard. Developers are familiar with the process. Met Council will provide a determination letter that says how many SAC units will be added to the system. That will be added to the building permit and we can use those dollars as a revenue source to fund public infrastructure at Rice Creek Commons. Councilmember Holden asked if we are legally allowed to keep money that is supposed to be for something else. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. Councilmember Monson said if we don't extend these credits into Outlot A, then Outlot A doesn't have any credits anymore. If we don't do this, any further development would pay Met Council and we would pass through the money and not be able to use the excess credits. This seems like the most revenue maximizing process. She supports it. Discussion ensued that the proposed buildout for infrastructure shows the County will pay for trunk utilities but the water tower is not part of the cooperative agreement. Could the SAC credits could be used to pay for the water tower? Rate increases are built into the water fee to pay for that. Further discussion ensued that there are public improvements in town center, public works facility and a number of other public infrastructure items, including the water tower, that need to be discussed. Council will hold off on discussion how the money will be used until Council has a full list of what the options are. Discussion ensued that the County Board may object to us keeping the SAC fees. Staff has been in ongoing discussion with County Staff. There is no objection from County Staff to this process of ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 13 the City submitting a phased development plan to the Met Council. This resolution wouldn't require County Board approval but the cooperative agreement would. Councilmember Weber asked who owns the credits. City Administrator Jagoe said they are credits that Met Council has issued to those properties. If we did not take this action, those properties will develop and they would submit to Met Council. They will make a determination if a parcel gets credits or owes for additional SAC charges. Councilmember Weber said the credits are ready to be applied. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. Met Council is looking for direction from the City on how to apply those credits. We would then adopt the formal policy outlining that the costs will be paid by the developer and we will keep the revenue dollars. Councilmember Weber asked for confirmation that this has been explicitly discussed with the County and there are no objections. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. Councilmember Weber said he thinks we've done our due diligence. Councilmember Holden asked if the money can only be used for utilities. City Administrator Jagoe does not think so. She will get confirmation from our financial advisors and the City Attorney. Councilmember Holden said the County Board must know about this and they will consider it when they are negotiating land prices. They just won't charge for the SAC and then we forfeit it. Discussion ensued that this will be part of the cooperative agreement, which will need approval from the City and County. Part of this application requires the City to submit a development phase plan. Council will see the completed application, the resolution and the submittal documents. Staff will be in conversation with City and County Staff to ensure the application will meet the satisfaction of Met Council. Council agreed to proceed with this action item and Staff will bring something back for review at a future regular meeting. E. Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Updates Community Development Director Reilly said the information from previous discussions have been incorporated. He asked if Council thinks this is ready for Planning Commission review or if there are any clarifications he can offer. He said fees associated with park dedication had to change in order to follow state law changes. Discussion ensued regarding the clause describing determining fair market value when requested in lieu of Park Dedication Fees. A negotiated price is on the list but Staff recommends removing that as an option and sticking to an appraisal by a qualified appraiser. Further discussion ensued on ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 14 how the park dedication percentage of fair market value is calculated. The percentage of cash in lieu of land dedication is established in the ordinance. Previously there was a park dedication fee and a development fee. The proposed language includes only the park dedication fee in response to changes to the legal framework around fees. Councilmember Holden said there was litigation on percentages for park dedication. She asked where that is. Community Development Director Reilly said the language changes are in response to that. The percentages result in the same amount as what was previously two separate fees. This could change upon City Attorney review. It may be a little lower to be more in line with the actual documented nexus between the impact of the development to the parks based on the kind of development. Councilmember Holden is trying to think if it matters where a location is. City Administrator Jagoe said as Staff reviews this item with the City Attorney, they will look at what our park dedication fees are in existing Arden Hills vs. park dedication fees in the ordinance today are equivalent to the dollar amount needed for park dedication in RCC. We can look at the structure. Community Development Director Reilly said similar to how the water rates will be different in RCC, the park dedication fees can be different, as well. Council agreed to strike the option where the City and developer agree on a fair market value. City Administrator Jagoe said based off of feedback during a previous ordinance review, a change was made for procedures in 1150.02 for subdivisions. The administrative review for lot line adjustments was added. This pertains to simple subdivision processes that had previously triggered the minor subdivision review through the Planning Commission and Council. Through this ordinance, that subdivision action would not trigger reviews. Councilmember Holden asked if this would include a property that had a nonconformance? Community Development Director Reilly said if the action would make the property conforming, yes, but it will always be a case -by -case determination. Discussion ensued regarding a case where a resident wanted to expand their garage, but it was too close to the rear property line so they were told no. If someone wanted to move a lot line to build a structure, but the structure doesn't comply, we wouldn't review that. They would have to apply for a variance. Further discussion ensued regarding if it could be used to make a non -conforming parcel, less non -conforming, but still non -conforming. The language is "Applicant proposed to relocate a property line without increasing or decreasing the number of parcels and where all parcels meet the applicable zoning code requirements." If something is non -conforming and it would still be non- conforming at the end, it would need to go before the Planning Commission and Council. Council directed that this could go to the City Attorney and then be reviewed by the Planning Commission, assuming the Attorney changes aren't substantial. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 15 F. Code of Conduct Not Discussed. G. G1 Use of City Property and G2. Immigration Enforcement Discussion City Administrator Jagoe said this item is a follow up from the February 9 work session discussion regarding topics specific to immigration enforcement. At the May 11 work session Council directed Staff to bring back language that would regulate use of City owned parking lots for staging areas. The City Attorney recommended draft language. It states a permit would be required for that activity. There is no permit fee. Councilmember Holden asked if they are there for two hours and don't get a permit, do we fine them? This may appease the residents but it doesn't to anything for the City. She also asked about impeding the normal course of public activity. What if they're at Perry Park and taking up some of the parking lot, but there's still plenty of room for other public activity. City Administrator Jagoe said she can work with the City Attorney to see what additional language could be added for enforcement. Councilmember Rousseau said this can create a false sense of safety for people. Her interest here, it to try to quantify if staging is happening. Councilmember Weber said we knew when we originally discussed this, that there wasn't any teeth behind it. There never has been. The point is Metro Surge happened and it very well could happen again. We need to be ready, in that case. It would still be a recorded violation of our ordinance. He understands it can cause a false sense of security but he is willing to take this step now, in case we need it in the future. Councilmember Monson agrees enforcement will be challenging. We didn't have Ramsey County Sheriff's Office (RCSO) tracking the immigration calls until the tail end of Metro Surge. She feels that created a gap in our ability to talk about the impacts of calls that actually happened in our city at the peak of it. This would allow us to define impacts. She agreed with Councilmember Holden about the impeding public activity. She asked if we could say "impede the normal course of public activity and safety." Put language in there that this activity makes people feel unsafe. Mayor Grant agrees we aren't out of the woods. ICE is still out there. They could come here. He thinks this is a reasonable step. Councilmember Holden said we allow the park pavilion rental contracts to go until 10:00 but the posted closing time for parks is sunset. That needs to be resolved. Discussion ensued if 14 days prior is too long. Seven days would make people more likely to complete the process. Further discussion ensued about what the process will be. City Administrator Jagoe said the ordinance says the permit is subject to the administrative review and approval. We have yet to develop the permit form and get it on the website. The process will be the form will be submitted and it will go to the City Administrator. It can certainly be turned around in a week. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 16 Councilmember Rousseau said she has seen Army activity at Cummings Park. She thought we should give them a heads up that this is coming. Mayor Grant said this is related to parking lots. We've already determined they wouldn't be allowed in Staff areas at City Hall or at the Public Works Shop. Councilmember Holden said it should say public land. City Administrator Jagoe said tonight's discussion is about city owned parking lots. The second part of this discussion was regarding sharing of data and access to City buildings policy. We outlined that if federal agents came into a City building they could access public spaces. Without a warrant, they would not be allowed to enter non-public spaces. That has always been the procedure, however Council gave direction to bring forth a policy for adoption. That part of this discussion will be brought back to a future work session. Discussion ensued regarding if we can deny a request if agents entered City Hall and wanted to use the council chamber for a meeting. The current policy allows them into public spaces but using our public building for a meeting is different. Staff will make sure that policy is looked at with the review. Councilmember Holden asked if there was any open land that may not be a parking lot where groups could gather. She thought it should be city property, not just parking lots. Staff will look at ways to expand the definition. Council agreed that Staff should bring this to a council meeting for adoption. H. Agenda Planning Councilmember Monson said she would like to have the Mounds View High School parking discussion prior to the school year starting. That may need more than one discussion. A resident is looking for Council to suggest another solution. City Administrator Jagoe said her understanding is that Council wants to know what is currently in place for on street parking, adjacent to Mounds View High School. Councilmember Monson confirmed. The resident is looking for some ideas that will be effective. Discussion ensued about what some options may be. Council directed Staff to bring that discussion to the next work session. 4. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS None. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 13, 2026 17 ADJOURN Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 9:02 p.m. Jen Estling Deputy Clerk David Grant Mayor 75 Years Approved: August 24, 2026 CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JULY 27, 2026 5:30 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL DRAFT -,,, Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Grant called to order the City Council Work Session at 5:52 p.m. following the EDA Meeting. Present: Mayor David Grant; Councilmembers Tena Monson, Emily Rousseau, Kurt Weber and Brenda Holden Absent: None Also present: City Administrator Jessica Jagoe, Public Works Director/City Engineer David Swearingen, Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Julie Hanson, Community Development Director Jake Reilly and Contracted Finance Director Gayle Bauman 1. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL Gregg Larson-3377 North Snelling Avenue, Arden Hills — He thanked Councilmember Monson and Councilmember Weber for suggesting to the council that a reply was warranted to him. He did get a reply. He said franchise fees will be a part of the preliminary budget discussion. He said franchise fees were first proposed for adoption in 2014. The council chamber was packed. There were four Councilmembers who started the discussion stating they were in favor of adopting franchise fees. At the end of that meeting, all five voted against it. It came back in 2024 and Council adopted those franchise fees. He spoke against it both times. There are two things wrong with the current situation. Right now the City is collecting more franchise fees than we need. The first surplus of franchise fees was used to supplement the general fund and buy down the levy. This Council has let expediency trump principle. Principle is important for public official. Citizens dislike when an elected official says one thing and then does another. Residents were told that the franchise fee would only be used to pay off fire station bonds. As soon as we had a surplus, it was used for another purpose. The City should not be collecting more franchise tax revenue than needed. He asked Council to do the right thing and reduce the amount of the franchise fee to what is needed. That amount is about $270,000 annually, rather than $435,000. There may not be more surplus, but he is asking Council to commit to dedicate any surplus to a fund that can be used to pay off bonds in 2035. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 2 2. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES None. 3. AGENDA ITEMS A. Great River Greening Becca Tucker, Twin Cities Metro Program Manager and Alex Barr, Metro Area Project Manager with Great River Greening joined the meeting to give a summary of the Natural Resource Management work that Great River Greening is doing within Arden Hills. Ms. Tucker said they focused on habitat restoration work at Hazelnut and Floral Parks. The restoration work included buckthorn and invasive species removal, native species establishment and overall habitat diversification. The volunteers are doing great work at these parks. The work is supported by two grants funded by the Outdoor Heritage Fund. The work at Hazelnut Park and supporting the Natural Resource Management Plan goes through June of 2027. The funding for the work at Floral Park goes through June of 2029. Ms. Tucker said they submitted a proposal to the Outdoor Heritage Fund to request funding from July of 2027 to June of 2032. That proposal is under review. It would support similar initiatives at Chatham Park. She outlined potential funding opportunities that are available. Ms. Tucker updated on Hazelnut and Floral Parks. There was great success after the initial buckthorn removal in the winter of 2024 and 2025. Hand clearing and forestry mowing was done at both parks. Each park has had summer and fall treatments. Buckthorn follow-up management continues. Volunteers helped with seeding to establish the native under story that will continue to fight against the buckthorn. Ms. Tucker said National Public Lands Day is a nationally sponsored volunteer event. They will be hosting the event at Hazelnut Park. They are currently working with 50-75 volunteers and they expect that to go up. There has been a lot of interest to join the event. Ms. Tucker said over the last year and a half her organization has worked with the City to determine the current state of Hazelnut, Floral and Chatham Parks. A draft of the Natural Resources Management Plan is included in the packet. It includes current state of the projects, the potential habitats at each park and the proposed recommendations. Ms. Tucker said summary estimations are being prepared, as they look at the sites. These are possible recommendations. No final dollar value has been applied to any one of them. It will be necessary to prioritize what the City thinks needs to be done, as well as, recognize what can be maintained long term. They built 5-year recommendations for all three sites. Floral and Hazelnut had their big initial buckthorn removal as well as multiple years of establishing the native habitat. There will always be continued buckthorn maintenance over the first couple of years. It is about $2,000 per acre per year if every task was being completed at both parks. Ms. Tucker said Chatham Park is different because there are portions that have been treated for buckthorn and those portions look fantastic. That will eliminate the expensive upfront initial ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 3 buckthorn removal in those areas. The Outdoor Heritage Fund would functionally supply the funds for the proposed 5-year timeline. Councilmember Rousseau asked where the budget number of $234,000 comes from. Ms. Tucker said they have estimated buckthorn removal work to be contracted. That is the majority of the $234,000. A portion is supply budget and the rest is Great River Greening labor to facilitate the contracting and management of the work. This budget timeline starts July 2027 and goes through July 2032. Councilmember Rousseau asked what the total grant amount was. Ms. Tucker said the total grant is about $3 million. There are nine partners supporting similar work. Chatham is one piece of that $3 million proposal. Councilmember Holden said she lives near Hazelnut and people have buckthorn all over their yards. This will be a full-time job every year. What do we do for education? Ms. Tucker they work directly with the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee (PTRC) and the volunteer groups who are doing the work. She hopes the volunteer event in the fall will spur some connections with the community. Councilmember Holden asked if her definition of education is getting volunteers. She is concerned that people don't know even know what buckthorn looks like. Ms. Tucker said her definition is to make the connections that start the process where those volunteers will spread the education. She would love to work with the City to determine the best way to reach out to neighbors and community groups. Councilmember Holden said she would like to see the people in the neighborhoods near the parks that have been treated get some education so they can find it in their own yard. Ms. Tucker said there was a flyer sent before the project began. She can understand how a mid - work flyer may be beneficial. It can describe what buckthorn is, how to identify it, how to control it and what to replace it with. There are funds to support that education. She's open to other ideas for signage or other ways to connect with the community. That is part of the purpose of the volunteer events. Councilmember Holden thought a display case with piece of buckthorn in it may help people identify it. It could just be a poster. Ms. Tucker said she is working with partners to place interesting signs that are educational vs. just a QR code. She would like to connect on how the Natural Resources Management Plan and updates can get onto the website. She would like to see it easily available for anyone. Councilmember Monson thanked Ms. Tucker. She lives on Hazelnut Park and it has been transformed. She is excited about another grant for another park. She said the dollars in the plan are a menu to choose from. She asked Staff if this will be another work session topic or if there is already a plan in place for how to use this Natural Resources Management Plan. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 4 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said Hazelnut funding ends after this year. Next year will begin the ongoing maintenance that we need to budget for operationally. He would like direction from Council on what approach we should take so it can be implemented in the CIP. Councilmember Monson said that only applies for Hazelnut for next year and Floral won't need to be budgeted until 2029. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He added that through the Park System Plan, it is identified that funding should be added for Crepeau Nature Preserve. Mayor Grant thanked Ms. Tucker. He is in the Chatham neighborhood and he watched the transformation when the goats went through. It was amazing. Councilmember Weber supports the whole program. Maintaining their hard work after they are done is a must. We don't have to commit to the full value right now but we can start with maintaining what they have accomplished and we can see how it develops. He thanked Ms. Tucker and would love to have them back in any manner that helps the City. Councilmember Rousseau asked if there are any staffing challenges with meeting the full a -la - carte list. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said it will help a lot to fill the Parks and Recreation Manager position. Taking a lighter approach with more buckthorn focus is more manageable. That can evolve through discussions as we continue working with Great River Greening. Discussion ensued about timing of the upcoming grants. Presentations are in August. Allocations are usually made in September. Great River Greening will come back to the City with an allocation dollar value. It is then approved by the State legislature in the winter and signed into law in May. Further discussion ensued on other possible funding sources. Great River Greening has a list of funding sources for continued work on projects. The same large pot of state funding also supports the Conservation Partners Legacy program. This year that is 100% metro focused. That could be a possible funding source. Great River Greening can't help with the application, but she can get information to Staff to facilitate projects at other parks. They hope to connect with businesses and organizations in the communities they work in to have them extend their work either through private foundation funds or private volunteer events. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he is hearing that Council is in support of the new grant opportunity. He asked if Council is also in support of a lighter buckthorn focus being added into the CIP. Council confirmed they support that approach. B. 2027-2031 CIP Discussion Contracted Finance Director Bauman said she took the information provided by staff to put together the first draft of the 2027-2031 CIP. This pulls through to the 2027 budget. CIP is strictly ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 5 a plan for what you want to do in the future. It can be changed. It helps when forming budgets for the future. This year's plan is $42.4 million over the 5-years. She shared a graphic on how it's split between departments. The biggest changes were in the Water Department and Parks Department. There were a lot of park projects added and there were increases made to projects in last year's plan. She removed TCAAP Projects that are totally funded by other dollars. There was no impact on the Water Fund. She took them out to get through this process. The next biggest change was the Street Department. It dropped due to timing of projects. Councilmember Holden asked if the amount budgeted for trails is the amount with the 50150 split. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said this is based off of the current policy with Ramsey County. The new structure needs to be approved. The hope is the City and County representatives can come together by August 12 and then it would go to the County Board for approval. Councilmember Holden said we know this is inflated and we know our portion will be less. We just don't know by how much. Staff confirmed. Mayor Grant said if the County were to reimburse us for the water main that was installed across from Bethel, would that go into the Water Fund? Council is discussing that agreement this evening. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. That $512,000 will be paid back when a construction contract is awarded with Rice Creek Boulevard. We can request it in spring of next year. Councilmember Monson would like to discuss the gateway signs and the natural resources restorations. She said this is assuming we get the Great River Greening grant. She sees Chatham is in there but she thought Hazelnut need money. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. This will need to be updated. This was created based on a May draft. The draft that Great River Greening presented earlier tonight is not represented. Councilmember Monson said for the sake of discussion, if we get funding to cover the entire $189,750, the amount stays as is, but the funding sources at the bottom would increase. Staff confirmed. Councilmember Monson would support that plus whatever Hazelnut needs. She isn't sure if gateway signs should be a project based on the EDA conversation. Councilmember Rousseau believes some of the EDA funds goes toward staffing costs. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. A portion of the EDA funds go to support operating expenses. There isn't a programmed amount, for the 2027 levy, for the EDA. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 6 Councilmember Holden thought there was a 20% match on the $189,750. The last time there was a match requirement for the first five years. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said after Great River Greening presented the Chatham number, the entire amount would be supported with a grant. We would need to add money for Hazelnut because that funding will be used up after this year. He said Councilmember Holden made a good point. He will review with Great River Greening to see what that match is. He believes it's $15,000 over the 5 year term. What we have done to support that for the other projects is to have Public Works perform in kind to support that cost. We would help with hauling and chipping to equal that amount. Mayor Grant asked if the North Snelling and Royal Hills trail improvements were the total for the projects. Does it include the $200,000 from the developer? Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said the $472,000 is the total project cost. Contracted Finance Director has the revenues in there. Mayor Grant asked about the Lake Johanna Boulevard Trail PIR $175,000. He asked if that is engineering costs. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. That is based on the County's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and is the value they told us to expect to budget for engineering and design. Councilmember Holden asked if engineering and design are split 50150, this number and all of the trail numbers may drop. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. Mayor Grant asked about the park shelter and building renewal. It covers one shelter at Cummings Park. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said the shelter is at Ingerson Park. The picnic shelter at Cummings was removed. Mayor Grant realizes it was removed. At one point it was proposed to be replaced. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said Staff hasn't received direction to do the actual replacement. Mayor Grant said the Lake Johanna Fire Department (LJFD) shows capital of $502,000. Between the ladder replacement and the equipment replacement, Council can talk about the franchise fees and where we want to put that. That could be an option since they are capital dollars. He said we are generally in the $400,OOOs not $660,000 as presented here for sewer lining and rehab. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said the next project planned is for the Venus neighborhood. That is the estimated amount to capture that entire neighborhood. Lining can be scaled back, if directed. He said he wanted to correct an earlier statement about the shelter. The ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 7 Ingerson shelter is included in the 2027 Ingerson line. The $85,000 is for the shelter at Hazelnut Park. That was identified through the Park System Plan. Mayor Grant said the water tower maintenance is an estimate. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he just received the inspection report that was conducted earlier this year. The estimate came back around $250,000 but he would caution against going that low immediately. We could lower it a little. But the last time around the bids came in higher than the inspection report. He'd like to see that play out before adjusting anything too drastically. Mayor Grant said there is $900,000 under water meter replacement. If we get a reimbursement from the County for water, that would put money in the fund to pay for that. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said that item is assuming that we had begun the water meter replacement process this year. We haven't. After testing some meters last year, they came back with really good accuracy. He was going to ask Council if we can get testing on the meters in Councilmember's homes to see if we can get a better data set on the accuracy of the meters are. The meters are at the age where we should start planning for it. Seeing the high accuracy of the tests completed, he would like to do a little more testing before pursuing this project. What was originally scheduled for this year, will be pushed out to 2027. He believes that amount was $400,0004500,000. Everything will shift a year. Councilmember Holden remembers there were battery failures. Is Staff saying that isn't happening anymore? Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said there was an issue with some of the collectors. There were some areas of the city that were sending data constantly and it wasn't being received. The ones that were sending data more frequently were the ones that were failing. Once we had a better collecting system, we replaced the batteries that were overworked. There has been no uptick in replacement of batteries in the past couple of years. Councilmember Holden said if we suddenly have a rush of failed batteries, is Staff prepared to start replacing units. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he isn't seeing anything right now that is telling him to start the process. If we get an influx of batteries dying, he would initiate this. There are resources to ask questions once the process begins. It will take 3-4 months of planning before we can begin the meter switch outs. Discussion ensued that Public Works and Finance would need to be prepared. We could start planning ahead of time and commit to a vendor later. Councilmember Holden said we are on the edge. They are over 25 years old. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen agreed. We did a full battery replacement in 2012. They could have another 10 years. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 8 Councilmember Monson asked if Councilmember Holden can share information about the budget at LJFD. This is showing the capital expenditures. We will get to the operating costs later. She wonders where LJFD is in the conversation. Councilmember Holden said they haven't started those conversations. City Administrator Jagoe said the numbers are from the preliminary amounts given at the last LJFD meeting and the budget discussion is next Wednesday. Councilmember Holden said the Safer grant ran out. There will be a significant amount of money in salaries. City Administrator Jagoe said these are programmed with what will be in the budget for the board to review on Wednesday. They aren't asking additional Full Time Employees (FTEs) this year. They haven't said if the will request additional FTEs next year. Councilmember Monson said what they ask for next year matters when looking at the question about Public Safety decreasing by a certain dollar amount. Discussion ensued that they were looking for three captains but we demanded a break. They were approved for three FTEs last year. This year they didn't ask for any. The discussion will be ongoing into future budget years. Councilmember Holden asked if Freeway Park got their pickleball nets. Do we need more money for pickleball nets? Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he reached out to the Park and Recreation Supervisor and received a plan for how to approach it. We previously purchased nets that turned out to be too heavy to place on the asphalt without damaging the courts. We were looking at another style that got discontinued. The new plan is to get some lighter duty pickleball nets. They come with a storage box. We will buy a box that has a code or key for people who want to use it. The hope is to have something out there before the end of the season. Councilmember Holden asked if the $8,000 will cover four of them. Staff confirmed. Councilmember Holden said we should just order all four right up front. Mayor Grant asked about $75,000 on the emergency generator replacement schedule. He asked if it was a small generator. He thought that was low. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen will have to ask Public Works Superintendent Frid. This it to replace the generator at lift station 8. That is the lift station that has the most failures, and we want to convert it to natural gas. He doesn't have any more specifics, at this time. Contracted Finance Director Bauman said there was no change to the PIR fund levy at $430,000. Based on the projects that are programmed now, the PIR is set to go negative in 2028 and continue to go negative, unless another funding source is found. The equipment and building replacement fund is proposed to increase by $63,500. That is based on the study done last year on City buildings ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 27, 2026 9 indicating the future needs. The public safety capital fund (LJFD capital items) only needs $120,000 levy to cover the capital items for the next 10 years. Last year the additional levy went in there and then it was transferred it out to cover the additional FTEs, which is a general fund item. The increase in the levy in the general fund is part of the FTE. There was no change to the EDA levy, remaining at zero. The park development fund currently has just over $200,000. Because we are paying for our park development projects out of the PIR we can actually transfer that money to the PIR fund to cover those park projects. The preliminary numbers for the enterprise funds show small increases. The franchise fees can be directed toward the LJFD capital or it can stay in the debt service fund to accumulate. Discussion ensued if Council wished to recess the work session and reconvene after the Council Meeting. Contracted Finance Director Bauman was not going to be present. Council did not wish to have the conversation without her present. Councilmember Weber said he is interested in the PIR fund. Last year the Finance Director indicated that we weren't at the $1.5 million sustainability threshold for our streets and parks. We would require levy increases of about $75,000 for a few years. We added $180,000 last year. What happened there? The deficit has grown significantly. He would like some clarification around that when discussion resumes. Council recessed the Work Session at 6: 56 pm. Council did not reconvene after the regular Council meeting. The Work Session was adjourned at 9:32 pm. C. Code of Conduct Not Discussed. D. Immigration Enforcement Discussion Not Discussed. E. Rice Creek Commons/TCAAP Discussion Not Discussed. F. Agenda Planning Not Discussed. 4. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS None.

He provided the Council with a presentation on ways to keep seniors in the community safe and independent. He commented on the importance of cooking safety and having a fire extinguisher in the home. He reported fire deaths were on the rise and he would like to see this reduced in the State. He provided further information on why older adults were vulnerable to house fires. He recommended homes have smoke detectors in every bedroom as well as a carbon monoxide detector in the house. He encouraged all residents to have an escape plan in place, that includes family pets and once residents are out of their house they are to stay out. Mayor Grant thanked Deputy Fire Marshal Johnson for his presentation. 6. STAFF COMMENTS A. Transportation Update Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported Xcel Energy was continuing with the installation of a 20" gas main along Highway 96 from 35W to Lexington Avenue. He noted the project would last into late fall. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the contractor has begun paving within the Karth Lake neighborhood and will begin utility improvements on Cummings Drive within the 2026 Street PMP project. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained Highway 51 has a southbound right lane closure at this time and this will last through early August. He reported construction is expected to continue throughout the summer into the fall. Mayor Grant asked if MNDOT was being careful around the storm sewer line on Highway 51. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated MNDOT's work in this area was complete and there were no impacts on the City's line. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 3 Councilmember Holden reported all of the driveways have been marked on New Brighton Road. She questioned when paving would begin on New Brighton Road. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen indicated staff held the first meeting with the contractor today and the work scheduled for Arden Hills would not begin until September. He suggested residents with questions reach out to Ramsey County Public Works. Councilmember Weber noted he received a call from a resident with concerns trying to make a left onto Glen Hill or making U-turns. He understood the left turn lane has been fully closed. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported this was the case noting the closure of the left turn lane would stop the U-turns from occurring. B. Night to Unite Proclamation Mayor Grant read a proclamation in full for the record declaring Tuesday, August 4 as Night to Unite in the City of Arden Hills and encouraged all residents to get to know their neighbors by participating in a Night to Unite block party. C. Elections Update Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Hanson provided the Council with an update on the upcoming elections. She reported voting by absentee ballot was underway and discussed how residents could request an absentee ballot through the Ramsey County Elections Office. She reviewed the locations where ballots could be placed in a ballot box. She explained the Primary Election would be held on Tuesday, August 11. She indicated the City would have three Council seats on the November ballot, those being the Mayor and two Councilmembers. She stated candidate filing packets could be found online at the Minnesota Secretary of State's website or paper packets were available at City Hall, noting the filing period closes on Tuesday, July 28. D. Recap on 75th Anniversary Celebration Councilmember Holden thanked the residents of Arden Hills for attending the 75th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, July 17.

Councilmember Holden appreciated how enough funding was raised to cover the expenses for this event. She discussed how other cities who hold yearly celebration events had committees or foundations in place to complete the planning efforts versus being lead by City staff. 7. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A.

Motion to Approve Cooperative Agreement between Ramsey County and City of Arden Hills for Rice Creek Boulevard Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated on June 22, 2026, the City Council received a presentation from Ramsey County and engineering consultant Kimley-Horn related to the Rice Creek Boulevard improvement project. This discussion included review of a draft final Cooperative Agreement which included language on the County's recovery of trunk utility costs. On July 6, 2026, Ramsey County received direction from the Joint Development Authority (JDA) for the proposed enhanced landscaping features and pedestrian lighting as they relate to the Rice Creek Boulevard project corridor. The decision was to remove those items from the overall roadway project and create a separate bid package for installation in 2027-2028. The landscape ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 5 surface coverage, streetlights, light junction boxes, and the electrical conduit for the pedestrian lights will still be installed with the Rice Creek Boulevard construction. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported based on the feedback received from these reviews, City and Ramsey County Staff have negotiated the final Cooperative Agreement. The City Attorney has reviewed the Cooperative Agreement and recommended language on the County's recovery of trunk utility costs has been incorporated within as it relates to Section 7. City staff recommends the City Council approve the Cooperative Agreement between Ramsey County and the City of Arden Hills for Rice Creek Boulevard. Councilmember Holden stated it was her understanding the city would be accepting the responsibility of the trails, utility, landscaping and lighting once the construction was completed. She stated this would mean the city was responsible for the maintenance until construction began on the overall project and questioned when the actual transfer would take place. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained this was outlined in the agreement, noting maintenance and ownership responsibilities will be turned over to the City once the punch list and warranty issues are fulfilled. He indicated the County would see to the maintenance of the landscaping through the warranty period, which was two years. He noted the City would be responsible for maintaining the trail spaces and utilities upon completion of the project. Councilmember Holden reported it would be in the City's best interest to set funding aside for maintenance of these areas even before anything was built within the development. She stated she was concerned about the expenses the City would be incurring. Councilmember Monson highlighted this was an important step for Rice Creek Commons. She noted Outlot A had a building and a second building would be constructed in short order. She indicated this road was required in order to get any type of development done on the California parcel. She thanked the County for working with the city and for covering the costs of this project. She noted the County had funding open up and she appreciated the County's commitment to getting this project done. Mayor Grant reported this agreement appears to mirror the agreement that was drafted in 2016 for Outlot A. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained the agreement mirrored how the utility construction costs would be recouped through the sale of the land. Mayor Grant commented in reading through the agreement he had issues with the fiber channel. He asked if staff had a chance to look through this portion of the agreement. He noted the City paid for and owns the fiber channel on Outlot A and wanted to ensure the same arrangement was in place for the California parcel. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the plan for the Rice Creek Boulevard includes fiber conduit that would be dedicated to the City. Mayor Grant inquired if the County would be installing the conduit and turning it over to the City. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 6 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported this was the case. Mayor Grant stated in this agreement the County would be reimbursing the City for the watermain project that was completed across from Bethel University in order to support this project. He questioned when the City would be reimbursed for this project. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen commented once the construction contract was awarded for Rice Creek Boulevard, the City could request reimbursement from the County. He anticipated this would take place in early 2027. MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a motion to Approve Cooperative Agreement between Ramsey County and City of Arden Hills for Rice Creek Boulevard. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried (5-0). B. Motion to Approve Adoption of Election Sign Policy Councilmember Holden reviewed the proposed language changes within the election sign policy. She questioned if a resident complaint has to be received in order for a safety violation to occur. Community Development Director Reilly explained the intent was that a sign may be removed immediately only in those cases and could be removed by any City staff person who identified a problem as listed there. Councilmember Holden reported this was not what the policy states. Community Development Director Reilly directed the Council to Page 1 of the election sign policy and clarified the language regarding complaints and when a sign may be removed. Councilmember Holden stated this would mean a complaint does not have to be made in the event of a safety issue. Community Development Director Reilly reported this was the case. Councilmember Holden asked if public works staff will remove election signs that they deem unsafe. Community Development Director Reilly explained staff could be instructed to remove unsafe election signs. City Administrator Jagoe reviewed the first three bullet points on page three noting a process was in place when complaints are received by the City. She indicated the City would not be actively going out and patrolling election signs. However, if a staff member sees an election sign on City property, they would be directed to remove it. Councilmember Monson stated she read the language as if there is a complaint the three bullets are followed and if there is not a complaint the sign can be removed based on the next four bullets, which was a safety hazard. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 7 Councilmember Weber thanked staff for the clarification. Councilmember Holden clarified signs would only be removed after complaints are received. She appreciated the language proposed by Councilmember Monson, noting signs would be removed by City staff if. She asked if the language within the policy was clear enough for staff. City Attorney Kirchoff reported in reading the election sign policy it was implied staff may remove the sign immediately. Councilmember Holden asked what the earliest date was for election signs to be posted by City Councilmembers. Community Development Director Reilly explained signs could be posted by Council candidates 70 days before the general election and races with a primary could have signs posted 46 days prior to the primary election. Councilmember Holden called the question. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a motion to Approve Adoption of Election Si!n Policy. The motion carried (5- 10. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Planning Case 26-013 — 1300 Grey Fox Road — Powder Technologies — Conditional Use Permit Community Development Director Reilly stated EFH Co. ("The Applicant") is requesting a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review to create an internal drive lane with the addition of 6,098 square feet of pavement on the existing 6.55-acre parcel at 1300 Grey Fox Road ("Subject Property"). The proposed constitutes a substantial modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan regulating the site, triggering amendments and City review. The proposal adds 6,098 square feet of pavement to create an internal drive lane. Landscaped area is proposed to be removed between the two existing parking areas and from a portion of the parking "peninsula" separating the east parking area from the east loading dock. The proposal will connect the two separate halves of the existing parking and loading area to accommodate truck maneuvering and circulation on the site Community Development Director Reilly explained the Applicant's narrative notes that site conditions require delivery trucks to back into the site directly from Grey Fox Road to access the loading docks. The proposal would allow trucks to enter the site in a forward direction, circulate internally, and back into loading docks entirely on -site. The proposal increases the established parking and loading area of 43,851 square feet by 6,098 square feet, bringing the percentage of parking/loading area to area of principal uses to 58.1%. The drive lane requires the removal of three (3) parking spaces on the site, bringing the total parking spaces on the site to 82 parking spaces. The Applicant is not requesting any changes to the established warehouse or office use areas within the building. An interior office remodel is anticipated in 2026 to accommodate expanded operations at the site. Those changes would not alter the nature or intensity of the approved uses. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 8 Community Development Director Reilly reviewed the history of the subject property, the Plan Evaluation and offered the following Findings of Fact: 1. The Applicant is a representative for the owner and occupant of the subject property located at 1300 Grey Fox Road, Arden Hills, MN. 2. The Subject Property is designated as Light Industrial & Office (IND) in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 3. The Subject Property is zoned I -FLEX Zoning District. 4. A warehouse requires a conditional use permit in the I -FLEX District. 5. The Applicant applied for a site plan review and conditional use permit to create an internal drive lane with the addition of 6,098 square feet of pavement at 1300 Grey Fox Road. 6. The Applicant proposes to remove 46 caliper inches of significant trees, to be replaced in accordance with City requirements, and to remove three parking spaces. 7. The Applicant states that the site can support up to 87 parking spaces shown in the proof of parking and that this number exceeds the parking needs for the approved operations at the site, based on the average need of 25 parking spaces. 8. The proposed plans will not result in insufficient parking for the uses permitted under the amended conditional use permit. 9. The proposed plan will not result in the subject property exceeding the maximum impervious surface coverage permitted in the I -FLEX zoning district. 10. The proposed plan is not expected to have significant impact on traffic or parking conditions. The proposed plan is intended to improve traffic circulation conditions both on the subject property and the adjacent public street, Grey Fox Road. 11. The proposed use is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. 12. The proposed plan will not produce any permanent noise, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid, or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics. 13. The proposed plan does not conflict with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code or the Comprehensive Plan for the City. 14. A public hearing is required for a conditional use permit. 15.

Community Development Director Reilly reported the Planning Commission reviewed this application at the July 8, 2026 meeting. At that time, they recommended approval of the conditional use permit request with seven conditions by a 6-0 vote. Staff recommended adoption of Resolution 2026-037, approving Planning Case 26-013 for a site plan review and a conditional use permit to create a new drive lane at 1300 Grey Fox Road, based on the findings of fact in the July 27, 2026, City Council report, subject to the following conditions recommended by the Planning Condition: 1.

Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the Community Development Director, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. The proposed parking area shall conform to all other regulations in the City Code. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 9 3. A Grading and Erosion permit shall be obtained from the city's Engineering Division prior to commencing any grading, land disturbance or utility activities. The Applicant shall be responsible for obtaining any permits necessary from other agencies, including but not limited to, MPCA, Rice Creek Watershed District, and MnDOT prior to the start of any site activities. 4. The final plans shall be subject to approval by the City Engineer, Building Official, and Fire Marshal prior to the issuance of a grading and erosion control permit. 5.

Community Development Director Reilly explained all properties within 1000 feet were notified of this project. Councilmember Holden discussed the number of semis that pass use Grey Fox Road on a daily basis. She inquired if the proposed development would create a traffic concern. Community Development Director Reilly indicated the proposed project is designed to solve the traffic concerns. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:17 p.m. Madison Whalen, EFH representative, explained the intent was to have all trucks pull forward into the loading docks without encumbering the street. Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:18 p.m. MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Weber seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 2026-037 for Planning Case 26-013 for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review at 1300 Grey Fox Road subject to conditions as listed. The motion carried (5-0). ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 10 B. Planning Case 26-018 — Zoning Code Amendment — Chapter 13, Section 1320.16 — Amending Requirements for Affordable Housing to Clarify Applicability to Rice Creek Commons • Ordinance 2026-014 Amending Chapter 13, Section 1320.16 — Requirements for Affordable Housing to Clarify Applicability to Rice Creek Commons • Publication of Summary Ordinance 2026-014 Community Development Director Reilly stated on April 27, 2026, the Arden Hills City Council, upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, adopted Ordinance 2026-007 amending Chapter 13, Zoning Code to add Section 1320.16 — Requirements for Affordable Housing to identify when and how affordable units may be required to be included in new housing developments and in rehabilitation of existing housing units, including regulatory incentives and provisions for enforcement. As stated in staff reports and in meetings, those affordable housing provisions were not intended to be applied to the TRC. Upon further review, the City Attorney recommends that language memorializing that intent be added for clarity. Staff reviewed the recommended changes from the City Attorney. Community Development Director Reilly reported the Planning Commission reviewed this application at the July 8, 2026, meeting. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Planning Case 26-018 as submitted and offer the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. The City of Arden Hills is proposing to amend ordinance language to clarify the applicability of Ordinance 2026-007 to the TRC. 2. The proposed ordinance will include amendments to the language of Chapter 13 — Zoning Code, Section 1320.16. 3. The City Council approved Ordinance 2026-007 amending Chapter 13 Zoning Code on April 27, 2026. 4. As stated in the record, the intent and purpose of said ordinance is to provide a requirement for affordable housing in new residential developments in areas of Arden Hills not regulated by the provisions of the TRC. 5. The proposed ordinance amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 6. There is an adopted comprehensive plan policy and goal to require affordable housing at Rice Creek Commons: a. The City of Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan (2019) Land Use Chapter states, "Future development of TCAAP shall be subject to a term sheet for development to be known as Rice Creek Commons in order to meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan with a requirement that 20% of housing units in the development must be affordable at 60% of Area Median Income or less." b. The Comprehensive Plan guides 15.9 acres at Rice Creek Commons at sufficient density to accommodate at least 373 units of housing affordable to those with incomes at or below 80% AMI. 7. Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations require a public hearing prior to action by the City Council. 8. The Planning Commission held the required public hearing at the July 8, 2026, regular meeting. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 11 Community Development Director Reilly commented on the proposed Ordinance amendments further and recommended approval. Councilmember Rousseau asked if the language could transition from TCAAP to Rice Creek Commons within the TRC. City Administrator Jagoe explained the TRC refers to the TCAAP site and noted additional amendments would be required if all references were changed to Rice Creek Commons. Mayor Grant recalled a recommendation came from the City Attorney to keep the references consistent. Councilmember Holden indicated all contracts refer to TCAAP and Rice Creek Commons was the marketing name for the property. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. George Boyadjis, 1117 Benton Way, asked if this language would apply to Catholic Financial facility development at Lexington Avenue. Community Development Director Reilly indicated the inclusionary housing ordinance applies to the 3499 Lexington Avenue proposal because it proposes more than 20 units of housing. Mr. Boyadjis stated he did not support this particular project. He was very concerned about this development and how it would change the neighborhood. Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:27 p.m. MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance 2026-014, amendments to City Zoning Code Chapter 13 within Section 1320.16 Requirements for Affordable Housing to clarify where Section 1320.16 applies. The motion carried (5-0). MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to Authorize publication of Summary Ordinance 2026-014 pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 412.191. The motion carried (5-0). C. Planning Case 26-017 — Zoning Code Amendment • Ordinance 2026-015 Amending Chapter 13, Section 1380 TCAAP Redevelopment Code to Amend Clear Height Definition and Loading Dock Requirements — Ryan Companies • Publication of Summary Ordinance 2026-015 Community Development Director Reilly reviewed the proposed ordinance amendments. The draft language provides a revised definition of clear height and for a greater maximum clear height in facilities that include a loading dock. Amendments to Section 1380 — TCAAP Redevelopment Code, are only applicable to projects associated with the Rice Creek Commons ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 12 area of Arden Hills. Section 4.0 - Definitions Current Language Clear Height is defined as, "The distance from the top of the finished floor to the bottom of the finished ceiling in portions of commercial buildings used for warehousing or manufacturing." The Applicant states that the experience developing the Micro Control Company site identified internal inconsistencies in the TRC associated with maximum building height, clear height, and the definition of clear height. Community Development Director Reilly explained the Applicant describes these two changes as being necessary to address the fact that the TRC as adopted has internal conflicts where the maximum building height is 15 stories and the maximum clear height for buildings with a loading dock is 24 feet, yet any building that is 15 stories tall requires a loading dock. Similarly, the code identifies two different definitions for clear height, one in 4.0 Definition as the top of the finished floor to the bottom of the finished ceiling and in 6.1 where the clear height maximum is established and clear height is described as being measured from the surface of the ground floor to the lowest point on the ceiling. These conflicts in the code therefore inadvertently limit the usefulness of buildings for the proposed uses identified in the TRC for Campus Commercial. Community Development Director Reilly reported the amendments as proposed, according to the Applicant, are simpler and clearer and will allow for flexibility for a potential tenant pool. The Applicant's materials described a 28-foot to 32-foot clear height as the market standard for the desired industrial uses. Staff is aware that one potential reason for establishing the 24-foot clear height is to minimize the likelihood of undesirable industrial uses such as strict warehouse/packing/picking operations. Other provisions in the TRC offer additional parameters to minimize those types of project proposers' interest in the site, both for Outlot A and for the "California Parcel." Some of the other code provisions that limit the likelihood of those uses include a limitation on the number of loading dock bays per wall/fagade and a limitation on the size/percentage of warehousing uses overall. Community Development Director Reilly stated the Planning Commission reviewed this application at the July 8, 2026, meeting. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Planning Case 26-017 as submitted and offer the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. The Applicant is proposing to amend ordinance language in Chapter 13 — Zoning Code Section 1380 — TCAAP Redevelopment Code. 2. The proposed ordinance amendment aligns the definition and description of Clear Height with industry standards. 3. The Applicant states that the proposed ordinance language will address current industrial real estate market data and remove design constraints associated with mezzanine office configurations. 4. The proposed ordinance amendment would allow for a maximum clear height of 32 feet for facilities that include a loading dock. 5. The Applicant states that loading dock door dimensions and configurations will continue to follow standard industry dimensions. 6. The Applicant states that the proposed ordinance language does not impact design standards established in the TRC. 7. The proposed ordinance amendments are generally in the public interest and in keeping with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 8. Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations require a public hearing prior to action by the City Council. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 13 9. The Planning Commission held the required public hearing at the July 8, 2026, regular meeting of the commission. Mayor Grant asked if this change would only apply to Campus Commercial zoning or all of TCAAP. Community Development Director Reilly commented this change would apply to Campus Commercial and any facility that has a loading dock in the area known as Rice Creek Commons. Mayor Grant questioned if the clear height might invite less desirable tenants. Community Development Director Reilly stated the proposed clear height may invite less desirable uses or users, such as warehouse uses. However, he was of the opinion this risk was very low, in part because other aspects of the code provide additional limitations. Councilmember Monson reported the City had a developer that was working to bring businesses to the City and they have made it clear that industrial and advanced tech, which has high paying jobs, require 32 feet to attract this type of tenant. She questioned what other kind of uses would require a 32 foot clear height. Community Development Director Reilly indicated an understanding that there was a fear that a warehouse -only operation might seek to locate within Rice Creek Commons like an Amazon Distribution Center. He noted there were other areas of the code that would make this less likely. Councilmember Weber inquired if this request came forward from the developer to the JDA in a lessons learned document based on a market issue. Community Development Director Reilly reported this was the case. Councilmember Weber stated in his experience in working with Ryan Companies they have worked in good faith with the City of Arden Hills. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:39 p.m. Dan Mueller, Ryan Companies, thanked the Council for considering his request. He stated he greatly appreciated the relationship he has with the City. He indicated this request was due to a response to the market and would meet the needs of a med tech prospect he was hoping to bring forward. He stated this prospect would be requesting two floors of office and would create meaningful jobs in the community. Mayor Grant questioned if two stories of office could be built in 24 feet. Mr. Mueller explained the stories would get quite tight and noted the 32 feet would allow for higher ceiling heights and would meet the needs of the market. Mayor Grant reported so long as the request meets the requests of the TRC, this request would not have to come back before the City Council but rather would be considered by the JDA. Councilmember Holden inquired if the JDA was supposed to limit office in these buildings. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 14 Mr. Mueller stated this was not his intent. He reported he had not intended to scale back the percentage of office space. Mayor Grant commented the requested clear height was for the office space and not the warehouse area. Mr. Mueller explained the two spaces were within the same building and would be tied together. Mayor Grant inquired if the building height of the office space could be higher than the warehouse space. Community Development Director Reilly commented this could occur but noted that was not what was being requested. He stated it was his understanding the loading dock and the clear heights were intertwined together. He reported buildings with loading docks, as written today, could not have a clear height that was higher than 24 feet. He indicated many buildings constructed today have loading docks with both warehouse and office space and the request was to have a clear height of at least 35 feet in order to allow for sufficient height for mezzanine -level office space. Councilmember Rousseau asked how many acres the new prospect was looking to purchase. Mr. Mueller explained the prospect was looking to purchase 12 acres in order to construct a 200,000 square foot building with 500 jobs. Councilmember Holden asked if there was another way to approve this change without changing the entire TRC. Community Development Director Reilly reported he did not have an alternative way for this to be considered. Councilmember Holden stated another option would be for the developer to go through the City process because the request was not aligned with the TRC. Community Development Director Reilly reported clear height was one of the things that was not allowed to be changed by the JDA. Mayor Grant understood this to be true, but noted clear height could be changed by the City. City Administrator Jagoe discussed Attachment 3 within the TRC which refers to the development review process for the JDA. She explained if a matter was brought forward that the JDA was permitted to adjust, the request remains on the JDA tract and if it was not within the TRC requirements, those matters were pushed to the City process which were limited to a code amendment. This is following that City process. Mayor Grant stated he would like to see Attachment 3 because he did not recall that code amendments were required. He explained he greatly appreciated the fact that the proposed business would be bringing high paying jobs to the community. He indicated he was not interested in a distribution warehouse with 200,000 square feet and 20 employees was not what he was looking for on this site. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 15 Mr. Mueller reported this was understood and noted this was not what he was proposing. Mayor Grant commented he could support bringing in a business that was requesting a difference in building height that was bringing in good paying jobs. However, he was concerned about changing the code because this would now allow all industrial sites with a loading dock to have a 32 foot clear height. He stated he was looking for a way to find the right amount of flexibility without compromising the rest of the TCAAP development. Mr. Mueller stated while this was a deviation to the ceiling height, there were still use restrictions in place throughout the TCAAP development and these would be sufficient to not allow certain uses. Mayor Grant inquired if the Council could change Uses or Standards in the Commercial Campus District instead of Chapter 13 Section 1380. He stated he was looking for a way to have the proposed ceiling height change only apply to Outlot A, instead of the entire TCAAP development. Community Development Director Reilly reported the Council could approve part of the ordinance request, striking all references to loading docks and fix the definition. He indicated he could then bring back an alternate solution to address the 24 foot clear height. He clarified that on the City chart, following JDA board denial, an applicant may revise and resubmit an application for either a City TRC amendment or a project that meets JDA requirements. He reviewed the items the JDA could not change, reiterating that building height cannot be changed by the JDA. Mayor Grant asked how this item could move forward by only changing the ceiling height for developments on Outlot A. He stated he did not want to have distribution centers next to residential developments on the California parcel. City Administrator Jagoe asked the City Attorney if there was a way to revise the definitions and Section 2 - Provision E to say facilities that include a loading dock shall have a minimum clear height of 32 feet in the Campus Commercial zoning district, whereas all other zoning districts will have a clear height of 24 feet. Community Development Director Reilly reported warehousing is an accessory conditional use and would require permission no matter where it is in the code. He stated warehousing could not be a principal use. Mayor Grant supported the language as proposed by the City Administrator. Councilmember Monson questioned why the City Council would want to fix the ceiling height only on Outlot A when the entire industry was requesting a ceiling height of 32 feet. Mr. Mueller anticipated the City would be revisiting the TRC code for another amendment if the clear height was only raised to 32 feet for Outlot A. Councilmember Monson thanked Mr. Mueller for bringing this request forward and for following the process as set out by the City. She explained variances were not allowed in this case. She appreciated the fact that Ryan Companies was pursuing a business that would bring ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 16 high paying jobs to the community and noted she was not sold on limiting the clear height to 32 feet on Outlot A. Rather, she was comfortable with staff s recommendation. Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 9:03 p.m. Councilmember Holden stated when the Council went through this originally the intent was to protect the City from warehouse uses. While she understood Ryan Companies was bringing forward a high end user, this may not always be the case. She explained she could not support the 32 foot clear height at this time because she did not want a cheap looking industrial park located on TCAAP. Councilmember Rousseau asked if Ryan Companies was seeing any users seeking five acre parcels. Mr. Mueller explained businesses were typically looking for eight to ten acres. City Administrator Jagoe offered another suggestion for the Council to consider. She stated in looking at the TRC the compatibility of the Campus Commercial as well as the Flex Office District both offer manufacturing and processing as permitted or permitted with conditions. She suggested that her previous language be amended to allow both Campus Commercial and Flex Office to have 32 foot clear height buildings. Councilmember Weber asked the City Attorney if this was an acceptable course of action. City Attorney Kirchoff reported the Council had legislative discretion on how to write this language. She indicated the Council could state the rule was 24 feet except for as stated by the City Administrator. Councilmember Weber indicated he could support the recommendation from the City Administrator. Mayor Grant asked if the 500 jobs was a firm estimate from the prospective tenant. Mr. Mueller explained this was a real number from prospective company. Mayor Grant supported limiting the 32 foot clear height to the Campus Commercial zoning districts. MOTION: Mavor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance 2026-015 and the publication of amendments to City Zoning Code Chapter 13 within Section 1380, TCAAP Redevelopment Code, modifying language pertaining to clear height and loading docks in Rice Creek Commons, modifying the language to read the 24 foot clear height can be increased to 32 feet only in the Campus Commercial zoning district on Outlot A. Mayor Grant stated the 500 good paying jobs would be a great add for the community. He indicated he could support a 32 foot building on Outlot A, but did not want to see 32 foot high buildings adjacent to residential homes. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 17 Councilmember Rousseau explained she supported adding Flex Office into the motion. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Rousseau moved and Councilmember Weber seconded a motion to modify the language to read the 24 foot clear height can be increased to 32 feet only in the Campus Commercial and Flex Office zoning districts. Councilmember Holden stated she would not support the amendment. Mayor Grant commented he did not want to run the risk of distribution center oriented businesses in TCAAP. For this reason, he did not support changing the clear height for the Flex Office zoning district. Councilmember Holden indicated Ryan Companies tentatively had 500 jobs from a prospective company, but this was not certain. She encouraged the Council to keep this a unique development versus creating an industrial park. Councilmember Weber stated this was a bleak outlook. He did not agree with this assessment. He noted the Council was proposing to change the clear height for two zoning districts on a 400+ acre property. MOTION: Councilmember Weber moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a motion to call the question. A roll call vote was taken. The motion failed 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed). Mayor Grant stated this project was designed and standards were put in place. He questioned how the project would end up given the number of changes that were being proposed when it comes to building height and boulevard lighting. He understood there was no guarantee the 500 jobs would come, but he suspected they would. He reiterated that he could support the 32 foot clear height in Campus Commercial, but he would not support the 32 foot clear height in Flex Office. Councilmember Holden commented she was struggling with motion. She reported the Council met with 15 different developers in order to make decisions for TCAAP. She questioned how many developers the JDA has met with to bring forward these changes. She anticipated the JDA had only met with Ryan Companies. City Administrator Jagoe explained the JDA has received a lessons learned document from Ryan Companies, who was the developer for Outlot A. She indicated the JDA has not met with other developers, but rather this text amendment was brought forward by Ryan Companies. Mayor Grant inquired if an amendment to the TRC had to be approved by the County. City Administrator Jagoe reported this was the case. She explained that the Flex Office zoning district was on the west side of the California parcel, on the west side of Rice Creek Boulevard and made up nine acres of the California parcel. A roll call vote was taken. The amendment motion carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed). ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 18 A roll call vote was taken. The amended motion to modify the language to read the 24 foot clear height can be increased to 32 feet only in the Campus Commercial and Flex Office zoning districts carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed). MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a motion to Authorize publication of Summary Ordinance 2026-015 pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 412.191. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried 4-1 (Mayor Grant opposed). 11. NEW BUSINESS None. 12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 13. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Rousseau thanked all who attended the Committee and Commissions appreciation luncheon last week. She greatly appreciated all of the time these volunteers shared with the City of Arden Hills. Councilmember Rousseau stated the City was seeking volunteers for the Human Rights and Financial Planning Advisory Commission. Councilmember Holden reported MNDOT was seeking feedback on the I-694 travel study. She indicated the study was available on the City's website through Wednesday, August 5. Councilmember Holden congratulated the principal from Mounds View High School for being selected as Minnesota Principal of the Year. Councilmember Monson explained she attended the Committee and Commissions appreciation luncheon along with Councilmember Rousseau and Councilmember Weber. Councilmember Monson stated she attended a Lake Johanna Fire Relief Board meeting and noted this group approved an increase to the pension payout, which did not require a payout from any of the member cities. Mayor Grant commented on the organics display at City Hall and explained organics were now being picked up for all Arden Hills residents in their regular trash container. Mayor Grant reported the grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony for the Lake Johanna Fire Station would be held on Wednesday, July 29 at 2:00 p.m. He encouraged the public to attend this event noting tours would be held after the ribbon cutting ceremony. Mayor Grant thanked all who attended the 75th Anniversary Celebration. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 27, 2026 19 City Administrator Jagoe thanked City Clerk Hanson, the volunteers and City Council for all of their efforts on the 75th Anniversary event. ADJOURN MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Weber seconded a motion to adiourn. The motion carried 4-1 (Councilmember Holden opposed).

CONSENT ITEM - 8C MEMORANDUM DATE: August 24, 2026 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Highway 96 Storm Sewer Repair Payment Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: $40,000 $24,941.75 Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: Funding Source: Storm Utility Fund • Approving payment to repair a 15-inch RCP storm sewer pipe and Highway 96 right- of-way concrete restoration. Backiround/Discussion On August 4, 2026, Public Works was notified by Xcel Energy of a 15-inch RCP storm pipe in need of repair. The pipe was uncovered during the Xcel Energy 20-inch natural gas pipe project. In addition to the separated j oint in the storm pipe, there was undermining of Highway 96. It should be noted that Public Works repaired a watermain break in February 2021 near this location. The water surfacing likely caused shifting of the storm pipe and created the pipe separation which wasn't visible during the watermain repair at that time. Public Works staff believe the watermain improvements done as part of the 2026 PMP Street and Utility Project would not have impacted the subject storm sewer pipe and caused it to sag because the new watermain was installed by means of directional drilling, not excavation. Ramsey County is requiring repair of the storm pipe prior to Xcel Energy's contractor removing their traffic control from Highway 96. Due to this being an emergency type repair and keep Xcel Page 1 of 2 Energy's project progressing, PW staff ordered the work to be completed ahead of City Council approval. The repair had been coordinated to begin on Wednesday August 191h with concrete restoration immediately to follow.

The Hillview Business Park is a proposed light industrial business park located on approximately 62 acres of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property in Arden Hills, south of County Road I, east of the future Rice Creek Commons development area and surrounded on the north and west by the Arden Hills Army Training Site and related Minnesota National Guard facilities. The site is being evaluated for future redevelopment. A mandatory Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required before development applications can be considered by the City. The scale and nature of the proposed project — more than 500,000 square feet of light industrial space — requires an Environmental Impact Statement, under state statute. Page 1 of 3 In 2023, the Federal Government auctioned the 62-acre "Primer -Tracer" property "as -is." Maplewood Development was the high bidder for the property, and the purchase was completed in 2026. Maplewood Development is responsible for all environmental reviews, demolition, remediation, and future land use approvals for the proposed Hillview Business Park. Discussion Bolton & Menk is under contract to support review of the mandatory environmental documents following the project proposer's submittal. The first step — publication of the Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and Draft Scoping Decision Document (SDD) — occurred June 16, 2026. A 30-day public comment period followed, including a public scoping meeting on July 8, 2026. All scoping process agency and public comments have been reviewed, responded to, and incorporated into the Final Scoping Decision Document, which defines the scope of analysis for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The project proposer and City staff agreed that, while not required, a response to comments document was needed. The additional time between the close of the comment period in July and this Council meeting was agreed upon to complete the response to comments document. That document is included in Attachment A (beginning on page 19 of the PDF). Attachment A represents the Final Draft Scoping Decision Document and Attachments, including "Responses to Comments on Draft Scoping Decision Document (SDD)" described in the Final Scoping Decision Document table of contents and a draft of Resolution 26-041. This is included in lieu of the 363-page version available on the City's website under the Hillview Business Park project page(www.ciiyofardenhills.org/1268/Hillview-Business-Park). The website version includes a copy of each comment letter and email received during the 30-day comment period, including the July 8, 2026, public scoping/comment meeting. Key updates reviewed and incorporated into the Final SDD, if practicable, include: Integration of comments from the Minnesota DNR, Metropolitan Council, Ramsey County, and City of Shoreview. EIS study requirements for land use compatibility, transportation, water resources, contamination, wildlife, visual impacts, air, noise, and cumulative effects. • Updated permit tables (including DNR avoidance plans and MPCA Response Action Plan (RAP)/ Construction Contingency Plan (CCP) conditions). • Clarification of alternatives to be evaluated in the Draft EIS. Next Steps: Upon Council approval of Resolution 2026-041, staff will submit the Final SDD and updated Scoping EAW to the EQB and work with the project proposer to ensure preparation of the Draft EIS is consistent with Minnesota Rules 4410.2600.

Introduction and Purpose Pursuant to Minnesota Administrative Rules ("Minnesota Rules") for industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities, 4410.4400, Subpart 11, the City of Arden Hills, acting as the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) has prepared a Final Scoping Decision Document (SDD) for SPQR Arden Hills, LLC ("Proposer' Hillview Business Park Project ("Project"). This Final SDD is a companion to the Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (Scoping EAW) prepared for the proposed Project. The purpose of the Final SDD is to provide the public a summary of the intended scope and to identify the issues and alternatives that will be examined in depth in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Final SDD also presents a tentative schedule of the remaining steps in this environmental review process. The EIS will be prepared in accordance with this Final SDD. An EIS for this Project is mandatory pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.2000, subpart 2, which directs that an EIS shall be prepared if the project meets or exceeds the thresholds of any of the EIS categories listed in 4410.4400. Minnesota Rule 4410.4400, subpart 11 addresses industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. The rule states the following: For construction of a new or expansion of an existing industrial, commercial, or institutional facility, other than warehousing or light industrial facility, equal to or in excess of the following thresholds, expressed as gross floor space, the local governmental unit is the RGU: (2) third or fourth class city, 500,000 square feet The City of Arden Hills is a fourth-class city based on the 2020 US Census municipal population of 9,939 people. Fourth-class cities are those with a population of 10,000 or fewer inhabitants. The EIS will meet applicable requirements of Minnesota Rule 4410.0200 and 4410.7800 that govern the Minnesota Environmental Review Program. The City of Arden Hills is the RGU under the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). The RGU or Project Sponsor may engage the services of a consultant to assist in EIS preparation; however, the City of Arden Hills will retain responsibility for the EIS content. 1.1. Background The Proposer is proposing construction of an industrial business park on a 62-acre site in Sections 9-10, Township 30N, Range 23W (45.103039,-93.172274) in the City of Arden Hills, Ramsey County, Minnesota (see attached Figures 1 and 2). The purpose of the Project is to clean up the Project Site, which is currently designated as a brownfield, and to redevelop the Property with approximately 972,000 square feet of industrial development. The redevelopment site was previously owned by the federal government and used by the Minnesota National Guard for the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS). The property, sometimes referred to as the 135 Primer Tracer Area, was formerly used by the United States Department of the Army as the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) for the purpose of manufacturing component primers and tracing compounds, and testing ammunition for World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War. When the site was operational it occupied an approximately 62,000 square foot building and approximately 60-small storage and/or bunker type structures that were last used in the 1970s. The structures have been abandoned and fallen into disrepair and are planned for removal prior to redevelopment of the site. The proposed site layout shown in Figure 3 is the Proposer's preferred alternative that represents the maximum development condition. 1.2. Purpose and Need for the Project When assessing the viability of various alternatives, and per Minnesota Rules (4410.2300 H), the EIS considers the fundamental need for the Project in addition to the environmental, employment, and sociological impacts of the proposed action and each major alternative. The purpose and need statements Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 13 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 below have been developed by the Proposer and will be expanded in the Draft EIS to include a more detailed description the need for the proposed Project in Arden Hills. 1.2.1. Purpose of the Project The proposed Project's purpose is to demolish the abandoned structures from the US Department of the Army operations, clean up the Brownfield site in compliance with the MPCA's approved Response Action Plan (RAP), and redevelop the site for a large-scale industrial business park in this area of Arden Hills. In 2023, the federal government held an auction to sell the vacant AHATS/135 Primer Tracer property "as is" with certain development restrictions due to known site contamination from its previous TCAAP operations. The Proposer purchased the Property with the intent of redeveloping the site for an industrial development, which is the Project known as Hillview Business Park. The purpose of the Project is to demolish and remove the abandoned structures on the Project Site that have become a nuisance and danger, to clean up the site to bring it to a developable state, and to redevelop the property for a large scale industrial/warehouse/distribution business park. The Project Purpose is consistent with restrictive development covenants placed on the property by the federal government. Since the site has been vacant since the late 1970s and was owned by the federal government, it has been tax exempt. Redevelopment of the Project Site with industrial uses will generate jobs and tax base for the community and surrounding area and will result in a productive use of the property. 1.2.2. Need for the Project The Project Site was previously used as part of the TCAAP operations, is in disrepair and has known contamination. Redevelopment of the site will take extensive resources that require financial investment and expertise to properly mitigate and clean up the previous users' impacts. The City has determined that redevelopment of the site into a reasonable use is needed to properly demolish and remove the structures and to clean up the property. To accomplish the clean-up adequately, large-scale industrial development is necessary to make the Project financially feasible. The Proposer will be responsible for cleaning up the Project Site to meet industrial use standards as established by 1) the restrictive covenant placed on the site by the US Department of the Army prior to its sale, and 2) the MPCA's approved RAP. Finally, the Project will bring a previously tax-exempt property back onto the tax rolls and provide industrial/warehouse/distribution building space and jobs to this area of Arden Hills. U. Scoping Process Public review and comment on the Draft SDD was completed in accordance with Minnesota Rules part 4410.2100. The Draft SDD and Scoping EAW were published in the EQB Monitor for a comment period on June 16, 2026. The public comment scoping period ended on July 16, 2026. Consistent with Minnesota Rules part 4410.1500, notification of completion of the Draft SDD and Scoping EAW were published on the City's website and a notice of availability was published in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press on June 17, 2026. The RGU considered the substantive scoping comments received and developed this Final SDD. The notice of availability of the Final SDD will be published in the EQB Monitor. 2. Project Alternatives The EIS must evaluate the "environmental, economic, employment, and sociological impacts" (Minnesota Rule 4410.2300, Item H) of the Project and will compare the potentially significant impacts of the proposed Project with a No Action Alternative and other reasonable alternatives. The Environmental Quality Board (EQB) rules require that an EIS includes at least one alternative of each of the following types of alternatives or provide an explanation of why no alternative is included in the EIS (Minnesota Rules 4410.2300, Item G): • Alternative sites • Alternative technologies • Modified designs or layouts Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 14 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 • Alternatives incorporating reasonable mitigation measures identified through comments received during the EIS scoping and draft EIS comment periods An alternative may be excluded in the analysis in the EIS if - It does not meet the underlying need for or purpose of the Project. It would likely not have any significant environmental benefit compared to the proposed Project. It would likely not have any significant environmental benefit compared to another alternative that will be analyzed in the EIS that would likely have similar environmental benefits but substantially less adverse economic, employment, or sociological impacts. 2.1. Proposed Project The proposed Project is located on land previously owned by the federal government and last used by the Minnesota National Guard in Arden Hills, in Ramsey County Minnesota. The Project proposes to demolish the abandoned structures on the site, clean up the property consistent with the approved RAP, and redevelop the site with approximately 972,200 square feet of industrial space. Redevelopment of the site will result in a clean site suitable for industrial uses, will remove nuisance structures that have become a danger, and will allow the previously underdeveloped land to be put to a higher use, create jobs and provide opportunities for business and industry. It should be noted that within the timeframe that this Final Scoping Decision Document was prepared the Proposer submitted an Application for a Variance to permit certain demolition activities prior to the conclusion of the EIS process to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) on August 7, 2026. The Arden Hills City Council subsequently passed a resolution consenting to the Variance request on August 10, 2026. The application for Variance requests approval from the EQB to commence construction activity related to demolition of various structures (buildings, building foundations, and certain above -ground manholes) on the Project Site to address ongoing trespassing and public safety concerns. The Variance application states that demolition debris is proposed to be handled in accordance with MPCA's conditional approval of a Response Action Plan (RAP) prepared for the Project. Existing below -ground utilities are not proposed for removal, and no mass grading is proposed as part of preliminary site demolition activities described in the Variance application. At the time of the publication of this Final SDD, the variance request is pending review and consideration by the EQB. The EQB's determination may be made prior to the completion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, and the sections of the analysis that are directly related to the requested demolition activities will be addressed in the Draft EIS consistent with the EQB's determination, if known. The Draft EIS will describe the proposed Project and the potential environmental effects for which the scope is outlined in Section 3. 2.2. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative will include discussion on leaving the current site as -is. The Draft EIS No Action Alternative analysis will assume that the abandoned and deteriorating buildings improvements, land cover and vegetation will remain in their current state and cleanup of the site per the approved RAP will not occur. A summary of this planned study is outlined in Section 3. If the Application for Variance is approved by the EQB, demolition of existing above -ground structures may take place prior to the commencement of the Project, which will be addressed accordingly within the Draft EIS analysis, and the No Action Alternative will reflect the existing site conditions at the time when the Project starts. 2.3. Alternative Sites The EQB rules allow the RGU to exclude alternative sites if other sites do not have significant environmental benefit compared to the project as proposed, or if other sites do not meet the underlying Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 15 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 need and purpose of the project. The EQB's Guide to Minnesota Environmental Review Rules lists several factors for the RGU to consider when deciding whether alternative sites would meet the underlying need for or purpose of the project. No alternative sites will be studied as a part of the Draft EIS. The Project Purpose is specific to the cleanup of the Project Site which cannot be accomplished on a different or alternate property. Cleanup is dependent on a viable redevelopment plan that is financially feasible and is consistent with the deed restriction that encumbers the property. For these reasons, an alternative site would not meet the underlying need and purpose of the Project. 2.4. Technology Alternatives Technology alternatives are not within the scope of the Hillview Business Park Project and will not be considered in the EIS. Best practice technologies for the various activities will be utilized as part of the proposed Project. 2.5. Modified Designs or Layouts Modified design or layout alternatives were evaluated during the scoping analysis and adjustments have been incorporated into the layout, which represents the maximum development condition, planned for evaluation within the Draft EIS. For example, several designs of the site access road, including location and width of driving surface were considered, along with location, size, and orientation of the buildings, outdoor storage, and utilities. Early site screening and potential impact assessments were instrumental in defusing the Proposer's site layout illustrated in Figure 3. The site layout represents the Proposer's maximum development condition, and any redevelopment of the site must meet the Project Purpose which limits the site design. Minor alterations including consolidation of buildings into a larger building, or fewer buildings may occur once the tenant mix is known. Additionally, the permit requirements established during the land use development process may impact the final site design. However such modifications, requirements or conditions will not substantially change the impact analysis contained within the Draft EIS since ordinance and permitting standards will be addressed within the analysis and the maximum development condition will be evaluated. Additionally, the deed restriction on the property stipulates that the property must be cleaned to meet industrial or commercial land use standards — not residential. Given the deed restriction, uses must be limited to industrial or commercial only, which requires significant expertise and resources to accomplish. To be a financially viable Project, significant development must be realized from the redevelopment to meet the Project Purpose which is why the maximum development condition is evaluated. The Draft EIS will describe any additional design modifications related to the Hillview Business Park Project and the potential environmental effects for which the scope is outlined in Section 3 of this document. 2.6. Scale or Magnitude Alternatives The selected scale and magnitude of development in the Proposer's site layout meet the underlying purpose and need for the Hillview Business Park Project. As previously noted, the site redevelopment must be of a scale and magnitude that is financially feasible to support the demolition and cleanup of the site consistent with the deed restriction and the MPCA's RAP requirements. The total square footage evaluated will remain consistent through the alternatives analysis except within the No -Build Alternative; however, the Draft EIS will evaluate the potential differing impacts of a homogeneous warehouse/distribution user versus a mix of light industrial user that could potentially occupy the Project. Since the final occupancy of the Project is unknown, evaluating the two user types will represent two alternative magnitudes of development. Beyond the evaluation of the potential mix of users, no additional alternatives will be considered since a significantly altered Project scale will not meet the underlying Project need and purpose. Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 16 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 2.7. Incorporation of Mitigation Measures Identified Through Public Comments The EQB rules require consideration of mitigation measures identified through comments on the Scoping EAW or the Draft EIS, informally called the "fully mitigated alternative." The EIS will consider all substantive and relevant mitigation measures suggested through public comment and will recommend incorporation of reasonable mitigation measures into project design and permitting. Draft EIS preparation will identify mitigative measures, which will be recommended as warranted. 3. EIS Issues The purpose of scoping is to "streamline the document, to identify only potentially significant and relevant issues and to define alternatives," (EQB Guide to Minnesota Environmental Review Rules). The RGU has evaluated the Scoping EAW to determine how the topics evaluated will be treated in the Draft EIS using the following criteria: A. The topic is obviously not relevant or is so minor that it will not be addressed at all in the Draft EIS. B. The topic is minor but will be discussed briefly in the Draft EIS using the same information as in the Scoping EAW. C. The topic is significant, but the Scoping EAW information is adequate for use in the Draft EIS. D. The topic is significant and information beyond what was in the Scoping EAW will be included in the Draft EIS. 3.1. Issues to be Addressed in the Draft EIS Table 3-1 identifies the topic and to what degree (as identified in Section 3 A-D above) they will be addressed in the Draft EIS; Sections 3.2-3.12 provide a description for topics cataloged as "D". The appropriate geographic scope as provided by statutory guidance and impact areas to be analyzed in the Draft EIS will be considered in preparation of the Draft EIS. Mitigation, if needed and available, will be evaluated and presented for each topic and used to evaluate each alternative and the potential environmental effects.

Project Description The Project Description will address and summarize the Project need and purpose including summary of demolition, clean up and post -cleanup redevelopment of the site. The description will further describe existing conditions in reference to the No -Build Alternative. Description regarding how the site layout was determined including building orientation, access/roadway alignment, parking and truck court, and stormwater will be provided. A subsection of the Draft EIS Project Description will include an analysis of potential economic, employment and sociological impacts of the proposed Project. The analysis will include a summary of market studies and research completed for similarly situated land uses in proximity to residential development. Since the occupancy of the Project is unknown, estimates will be provided based on two potential occupancy types assuming the same site layout and design. Throughout the Draft EIS, when analysis is subject to, or specific to occupancy, it will be described as Single -tenant warehouse/distribution or Multi -tenant mixed light industrial. Further description regarding these differences will be provided in the Draft EIS. When the analysis is not affected by the occupancy, the analysis will simply reference the Proposer's Project layout. 3.3. Climate Adaptation & Resilience The Draft EIS will expand upon information provided in the Draft EAW, identify specific adaptation strategies, and evaluate how proposed measures reduce risk under anticipated mid-century climate conditions. Comments and recommended mitigation measures received from agencies and members of the public during the scoping process will be addressed within the analysis. 3.4. Permits & Approvals Required The Draft EIS will provide an updated list of known local, state and federal permits, approvals and certifications needed to reflect updated requirements and/or permit status. 3.5. Cover Types The Draft EIS will provide an estimate of the acreage of the site with different cover types using the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System. Calculations will be provided before and after development, estimated proposed green infrastructure (if any), and summary of estimated trees to be removed and planted. This analysis will be completed for the No -Build Alterative and the Proposer's Project layout. 3.6. Land Use The Draft EIS will expand the land use and zoning analysis provided in the Scoping EAW. The analysis will address existing land use, adopted land use plans, future land use guidance, and zoning. Further description regarding the deed restriction and permitted uses will also be addressed. Compatibility of the Project with nearby land uses, zoning, and adopted plans will be incorporated. The Draft EIS will provide recommendations regarding mitigation measures to be addressed as part of the land use and development permitting process to address any potential incompatibility. 3.7. Geology, Soils & Topography/Landforms The Draft EIS will include a summary of existing geological and soil conditions, impacts to soils and topography as a result of the Project, limitations to site development posed by geological or soil conditions, and mitigation measures recommended or required during and after construction. The Draft EIS will include soil boring logs and a geotechnical evaluation report. Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 18 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 3.8. Water Resources The Draft EIS will include information from a wetland field investigation and wetland delineation, and a Notice of Decision from Rice Creek Watershed District, the local governmental unit for Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) reviews and approvals. The Draft EIS will expand on information provided within the Scoping EAW including surface water and groundwater resources on and within one mile of the project site as recommended by statutory guidance, potential impacts as a result of the project, and required mitigation measures. There is no site data to indicate that study beyond the one -mile radius is warranted. The Draft EIS will address water resources in the context of the demolition, cleanup and post -cleanup site redevelopment. Description regarding planned stormwater management and other surface water features including nearby and adjacent waterbodies, and any drinking water supply management areas (DWSMAs) and wellhead protection areas, will be addressed with respect to the potential Project impacts. The analysis will include recommended or required mitigation measures that account for site contamination. 3.9. Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes The Draft EIS will provide further description and analysis from the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment and other environmental reports collected as part of the Proposer's due diligence. This includes a Response Action Plan & Construction Contingency Plan (RAP/CCP) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) conditional letter of approval of the RAP/CCP. Analysis of existing site conditions, impacts as a result of the proposed project, and required mitigations will be addressed. 3.10. Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities & Sensitive Ecological Resources (Rare Features) For the Draft EIS, an updated Natural Heritage Review (NHR) letter from the Minnesota DNR will be requested, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation JPaC) online portal will be queried for information on state and federally listed threatened or endangered species and rare species that may be present on the project site. The Draft EIS will provide information on fish and wildlife resources and habitats, how the Project may affect these threatened, endangered or protected species, and measures to avoid, minimize, mitigate adverse impacts. Based on the DNR NHR letter, for some species, if certain habitats can be avoided during dates provided by the DNR, a field survey is not required (survey will be required if these dates cannot be avoided). For some species, avoidance plans (or applications for permits to take) are required to be submitted to the DNR prior to commencing any project activities. These avoidance plans may or may not be completed prior to Draft EIS publication. The requirement for the proposer to complete these avoidance plans will be included in the Draft EIS as required mitigation measures. The Proposer will be required to complete field surveys and/or avoidance plans for specific species as identified by the DNR and USFWS. Osprey, American Kestrel, and other species identified by area residents are some of several species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and therefore the language within the Draft EIS will refer to the MBTA. Requirements of the MBTA and Bald Eagle Protection Act will be addressed in the Draft EIS. Comments received from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources during the scoping period will be addressed, including lighting recommendations to minimize impacts on wildlife. 3.11. Visual The Draft EIS will include an analysis of Project -related visual effects, including those on adjacent park and nearby residential homes on the north side of County Road I, and measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual impacts if identified. Renderings and cross sections will be provided to demonstrate topographic changes across the site, proposed building heights, and scale and type of nighttime lighting. Required or potential mitigative strategies that could be employed as part of the land use permit and development process will be discussed and identified. Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 19 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 3.12. Air The Draft EIS will expand the analysis of potential stationary source emissions, vehicle emissions, and dust and odors, and measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects. Best Management Practices (BMPs), professional resources and studies will be discussed, and other available resources used to determine the potential impacts of the Project. The analysis will provide an overview of MPCA air permit standards, types of uses that may require separate air permitting, and the process for obtaining such approvals. A full air quality model will not be completed because the end users are unknown, and the user (business operation) will ultimately be the determining factor as to whether an air quality permit is required. 3.13. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions/Carbon Footprint The Draft EIS will quantify and estimate the Project's GHG emissions, describe mitigation considered to reduce GHG emissions, describe and quantify reductions from selected mitigation, and quantify the Project's predicted net lifetime GHG emissions. The analysis will describe how the predicted emissions may affect achievement of the Minnesota Next Generation Energy Act goals or any state/local GHG reduction targets. 3.14. Noise The Draft EIS will include an expanded analysis of potential noise generated on the site from the proposed Project and will include discussion of existing noise sources and conditions. The analysis will describe in more detail MPCA noise standards, evaluate potential noise generated by the project with respect to sensitive receptors including residential areas, evaluate potential mitigation measures, and describe conditions under which a noise study may be required. Noise modeling will not be completed as part of the Draft EIS because the user (business operations) are unknown, and individual business operations will directly impact noise generation. An overview of potential noise generation based on the tenancy alternatives will be described within the Draft EIS. 3.15. Transportation A traffic impact study (TIS) estimating total average daily and maximum peak hour traffic generated will be included in the Draft EIS. The intersections selected for study and ultimate scope of the TIS will be confirmed with Ramsey County (the agency with jurisdiction over County Road I) and the City of Arden Hills. A confirmation of the traffic study scope from agencies with jurisdiction will be included in the TIS. An evaluation of potential pedestrian safety impacts as a result of the project, and recommended mitigation measures will be addressed in the Draft EIS. The traffic impact study will detail the potential effect of the development on traffic congestion, intersection function (level of service) and describe any recommended improvements or mitigation measures. 3.16. Cumulative Potential Effects The Draft EIS will include a discussion of cumulative potential effects from other reasonably foreseeable projects that may result in overlapping impacts. Additional research and coordination with local and state agencies will occur to identify specific projects, including timing, magnitude, and estimated impacts. This section is anticipated to acknowledge the potential impacts of Rice Creek Commons referencing previous environmental studies that provide a general planning framework of potential land uses. However, since this Project is likely to be developed before any project specific development occurs in the Rice Creek Commons it will be the responsibility of the Rice Creek Commons environmental review to determine how, or if, the Hillview Business Park development is adequately addressed in any subsequent Rice Creek Commons AUAR updates. A high-level summary and overview of the relationship between the two areas will be given, but detailed analysis will not be completed, given the unknown timing, land uses or magnitude of the Rice Creek Commons development. Hillview Business Park — Arden Hills, MN Page 110 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 4. Identification of Phased or Connected Actions A phased action means "two or more projects to be undertaken by the same proposer" that "will have environmental effects in the same geographic area and are substantially certain to be undertaken sequentially over a limited period of time." (Minnesota Rules 4410.0200, subp. 60). The Project does not meet this definition because it is a single project undertaken in a limited period of time. Two projects are connected actions if an RGU determines they are related in any of the following ways (Minnesota Rules 4410.0200, subp. 9c): A. One project would directly induce the other; B. One project is a prerequisite for the other and the prerequisite project is not justified by itself; or, C. Neither project is justified by itself. The proposed Project is not connected to another project. 5. EIS Schedule (subject to change) The schedules in Tables 5-2 and 5-3 assumes the process can be completed within the 280-day deadline (Minnesota Rules 4410.2800, Subp. 3). Coordination between the Proposer and the RGU is ongoing to maximize the efficiency of the process and the EIS may be completed in a shorter timeframe than outlined.

Special Studies or Research Various reports and studies will be developed to support the assessment of environmental impacts of the proposed Project. The Project Proposer will provide the following reports for review and incorporation into the EIS. The content of these will be independently reviewed and confirmed by the DNR and/or the EIS contractor prior to being incorporated into the EIS. • Wetland Delineation Report and Notice of Decision. • Geotechnical Evaluation Report. • A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment has been completed and will be addressed in the EIS. • Rare Plant Survey - Determination of Need or Study Process to be included or addressed • Traffic Impact Study • Greenhouse Gas Calculations • Response Action Plan & Construction Contingency Plan has been completed and approved by the MPCA and will be addressed in the EIS. 7. Mitigation and Monitoring Minnesota Rules 4410.2300 identifies that the EIS shall include mitigation measures that could reasonably eliminate or minimize any adverse environmental, economic, employment or sociological effects of the project. To meet this requirement, the EIS will evaluate and discuss mitigation measures to address adverse effects identified because of analysis proposed to be completed in the EIS and identified in Section 3 of the SDD. Specific mitigation measures and best management practices will be identified and documented in the EIS to minimize potential adverse impacts. The EIS will also provide information about the types of monitoring needed to verify predictions made in the EIS and ensure compliance with permit conditions. Specific monitoring plans will be developed and included in the permitting process, which may or may not occur simultaneously with preparation of the EIS. To the extent that specific monitoring plans are available, they will be included as part of the EIS. If a specific monitoring plan is not available and has been recognized in the EIS process as needed, a conceptual monitoring plan may be developed as part of the EIS. Monitoring programs will provide a means to identify non-compliance with permit requirements, so that corrective action can be developed to minimize unforeseen impacts from the Project. 8. Governmental Permits & Approvals (Scoping EAW item) The Draft EIS will identify all permits and approvals potentially required for this project. While some permit application review may occur concurrently with the Draft EIS preparation, the Draft EIS will not necessarily contain all information required for a decision on those permits. No permits have been designated to have all information developed concurrently with the preparation of the Draft EIS; however, the Proposer intends to concurrently gather information needed for receiving approvals and/or permits from local, state, Hillview Business Park - Arden Hills, MN Page 112 Final Scoping Decision Document August 2026 and federal agencies. No permits will require the preparation of a record of decision pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.2100, subpart 6D. To expedite the permitting and approval processes, coordination with resource agencies and other appropriate jurisdictions has already begun and will occur throughout the EIS process. 9.

The City of Arden Hills is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for the EIS. SPQR Arden Hills, LLC is the Proposer for the EIS. Draft Scoping Decision Document and Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) The Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (Scoping EAW) for the Hillview Business Park EIS was prepared and published for public comment in accordance with Minnesota Rules, part 4410.2100, Subpart 2. The purpose of the Scoping EAW and accompanying Draft Scoping Decision Document (DSDD) was to facilitate the delineation of issues and analyses to be contained in the EIS. Notice of Public Comment Period The DSDD and Scoping EAW were published on June 16, 2026, and distributed to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and persons and agencies on the official EQB distribution list in accordance with EQB rules. In accordance with Minnesota Rules, the documents were made available at City Hall (1246 W Highway 96, Arden Hills, MN 55112), were published in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press on June 17, 2026, and on the City of Arden Hills website at htips://www.ciiyofardenhills.org/400/Development- Projects The 30-day comment period concluded on July 16, 2026. RGU Response to Comment Responsibility Pursuant to Minnesota Rules, part 4410.2100, Subpart 5, the RGU may consider all timely and substantive comments received when preparing the Final Scoping Decision Document (FSDD) for the preparation of the Draft EIS. Substantive comments include suggesting additional relevant issues or alternative development considerations to be analyzed in the EIS review. While Minnesota Rules do not require that the scoping decision document respond to public comments, the RGU has opted to respond to timely, substantive comments received with an indication of how the comment has been addressed which is provided in Section H. It should be noted that comments that are not relevant to the scoping process have been included in Section II with an indication that the comment may be addressed in the subsequent Draft EIS document. RESPONSE TO COMMENTS As summarized in Table 1, three (3) comment letters or emails were received from governmental agencies, and thirty-three (33) comment letters, emails or comment cards were received from the public on the DSDD and Scoping EAW during the Public Comment Period which commenced June 16, 2026, and ended on July 16, 2026.
