the plan fits within the original principles the city and county agreed upon when the project started, and that Arden Hills officials and their consultants have had two months to comb through the development agreement.

"There's been a number of conversations between all the partners at different levels about where we're at in that master development agreement," McDonough said. "And the county and Alatus certainly feel that it's time to move this project forward."

The plan goes next to the city-county joint development authority set up to oversee the project. The panel includes Mayor Grant and an Arden Hills council member, and will decide next Tuesday just how quickly the Rice Creek Commons project moves forward.
