He added this way if the lot lines were off by a few inches a one-foot setback would eliminate any problems in the future.

Director Ericson stated starting in October, and for the following six months, all City Hall happenings, except meetings, will be relocated to the community center while City Hall is being renovated. He noted all meetings would be relocated to the New Brighton City Hall; however, there is a conflict for the Planning Commission with the first Wednesday of each month. He requested the Commission make a determination whether to meet at the City of Arden Hills, to cancel these meetings if there is nothing to consider, or to meet on the second Wednesday of the month instead of the first. He added it would be inconvenient to have the Planning Commission meetings at different halls. Chair Stevenson asked if the community center couldn’t be used due to the local TV coverage problem. Director Ericson stated it would be hard to set up the meeting, i.e. individuals would need to hold cameras the quality of the audio and video would be a problem. He added City Council feels strongly the meetings should be broadcast. Commissioner Hegland asked if the second Wednesday of the month would work for Council action. Director Ericson stated it would because Staff reports cannot be turned around that quickly. Director Ericson suggested another option, that the Commission meet the second and fourth Wednesday of each month instead. Chair Stevenson, with Commission agreement, stated the Commission will meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month starting in October but may be adjusted each month.
