ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—DECEMBER 19, 2011 4 • Building materials are being improved. All EIFS is proposed to be eliminated, making the building 100 percent brick and glass, and the amount of transparent glass on the building is being increased. City Planner Beekman also explained that the proposed Walgreen's plan would maintain the approved signage plan, which CVS Pharmacy had indicated they would need to amend to allow additional signage. All other conditions of approval would be maintained by the proposed Walgreen's revisions. City Planner Beekman further stated that the previous Walgreen's plan the City reviewed in 2009 included a glass atrium that faced the corner of County Road E and Lexington Avenue, internal to the atrium was proposed a neon sign. The currently proposed plan eliminates this glass area, replacing it with brick. Walgreen's is proposing a W wall sign in this area which would be within the approved 99 square feet of wall signage, and would not be internally lit. City Planner Beekman explained that one of the conditions added to every land use approval is that the project must be constructed in accordance with the approved plans, and that any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. This condition allows staff to approve minor modifications to plans, which are common during the construction process. While staff feels that the modifications proposed by Walgreen's are minor in nature, due to the visibility and interest in this particular project, staff is bringing these revisions to the Council for review. If the Council determines that the proposed plans constitute minor modifications to the approved plans, staff will proceed with drafting a development agreement that includes the minor modifications and bring this item to Council at the next available meeting. Staff has conferred with the City Attorney who concurs with this plan of action. City Planner Beekman stated that the alternative action would be for the Council to determine that the proposed changes are significant, which would require a Master and Final PUD Amendment. The application would then go back to the Planning Commission for review and a public hearing. Because of the Planning Commission's schedule, this item would not be able to move forward until February. Mayor Grant asked if the lot lines are the same as the CVS proposal and if Building 2 is proposed for the same location. City Planner Beekman stated the final plat had already been filed with the County so the lot lines had been drawn and did not change. She added that the utility, landscaping, and grading plans have not changed. Mayor Grant asked if the gateway sign is an agreement with Arden Plaza, LLC, or with Walgreen's. City Planner Beekman responded that it is an agreement with Arden Plaza, LLC, as part of the development agreement for Arden Plaza.
