................................... . .................. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—November 29, 2010 4 7.A. Presbyterian Homes Redevelopment Proposal (continued) provide this for Cox Insurance. The parking lot size was increased to accommodate six additional stalls for Cox Insurance employees and also to accommodate the new entry to the facility. City Planner Meagan Beekman stated Presbyterian Homes operates under two Conditional Use Permits (CUP). The applicant is requesting approval of a major redevelopment of their care facility. Presbyterian Homes is proposing to demolish the Lakeview Residence and Sutton Place Apartment buildings and construct a three to four-story senior housing building and two brownstone style two-story apartment buildings in their place. The existing McKnight Care Center would remain in its current location and would not be altered as part of this application. Included in the proposal, the applicant is requesting a CUP amendment that would consolidate the existing approvals for the properties under a single PUD, a preliminary and final plat that would consolidate the two parcels into one, and rezoning from R-2 to R-4 to bring the mix of uses currently on site into compliance with the Zoning Code. Presbyterian Homes has submitted a redevelopment application, project narrative, development plan documents, and trip generation analysis describing their request, which was presented to the Planning Commission on November 3, 2010. Additionally, they have submitted a revised project narrative and detailed traffic count analysis, and revised Site Rendering and Zoning District Plan. Since the November 3, 2010, meeting, Staff has reviewed the conditions of approval with the City Attorney and Staff is recommending the addition of conditions 12-14 of approval to those recommended by the Planning Commission. Additionally, Staff is recommending the revision of conditions 7, 10, and 11, as indicated in the memo. Councilmember Holden asked if Presbyterian Homes would have the ability to construct additional buildings on the property if the property was rezoned R4. City Planner Beekman explained the rezoning as written in the Resolution and preliminary and final plat of Presbyterian Homes was subject to the site plan that was submitted and any changes to the site plan would require a PUD amendment and approval from the Planning Commission and City Council. Once a project has an approved PUD then this is considered the zoning for that property and any changes to the project would require an amendment to the PUD. Councilmember Holden asked if there was a designated staff entrance. City Planner Beekman explained there was not a designated staff entrance or exit or parking areas. Mayor Harpstead asked what the opinions were of the Roseville City Engineer regarding the entrance along County Road D. City Planner Beekman explained Staff had talked to Roseville City Engineer Deb Bloom and Arden Hills' contracted Engineer Kris Giga regarding the proposed project. They have reviewed the traffic analysis and site plans and did not express concerns about the alignment of the entrance/exit or the projected traffic counts.
