Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 24, 2007 Minutes Page 24 Councilmember Ihlan questioned if there had been an e-mail notice provided to area residents, as discussed at a previous meeting. Mr. Paschke advised that he was not aware of the creation of such a list or subse- quent notice. Councilmember Ihlan opined that there were lots of people in the neighborhood that were unaware of tonight's meeting and/or discussion. Mr. Darrow advised that staff was providing notice based on the strict application of City ordinance, and while public comment was provided for, there were not specific guidelines for opening up another public hearing outside that of the Plan- ning Commission level hearings previously held. Mayor Klausing asked if notice to area residents would be provided for signaliza- tion of an intersection. Mr. Schwartz advised that, once such an improvement became an actual project, public notice would be provided. Councilmember Ihlan opined that her concerns were that the Council was making a decision on whether a signal should be installed at Lydia and Fairview at all, without prior knowledge of area residents. Additional discussion included length of time for the project's completion date; and considerations for those portions of the project within the city boundaries of Arden Hills, and that city's own PUD process. Mayor Klausing provided several language revisions to the Agreement, specifi- cally in Section 7.1; and questioned the intent of language in the second paragraph of Section 10.9d. Councilmember Ihlan expressed concern on the PUD Agreement, Section 10.11, and references to maps and exhibits of the EAW negative declaration; questioning the accuracy and consistency of those exhibits in comparison to the exhibits refer- enced in the proposed PUD Agreement, specifically the location of the fieldhouse and its proximity encroaching on the bank of Lake Johanna. Councilmember Ih- lan questioned if there were other discrepancies as well, and whether the maps and exhibits now attached to this document had in actuality been reviewed by commenting agencies during the environmental review process. Mr. Paschke noted that exhibits showed potential placement for future structures; however, noted that actual building footprints and construction would need to comply with City Ordinance, including shoreland ordinance setbacks.
