ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — June 27, 2011 8 7.A. Planning Case 11-011 — Select Senior Living PUD & Plat (continued) balance. She also stated that park dedication fees could only be used for capital improvements to the City's parks and trails. Councilmember Holmes stated the proposal does not cover any of the other amenities that may be included in the project such as a community center, restaurant, or banquet center. She asked if these things would be included in the project at this time. City Planner Beekman explained the project being proposed, as part of this PUD, does not include a community center, banquet hall, or restaurant.

Mr. Joel Larson, Select Senior Living, stated this facility is an assisted living facility with 106 assisted living units, 30 memory care units, and 14 independent living units. The independent living units will generate more traffic than the other types of units because these residents are
