THE ON <br /> OAIPANIES <br /> 1p�l "N c <br /> MEMO <br /> Date: August 15,2012 <br /> To: Ms. Meagan Beekman, Mayor David Grant, Council Members: Brenda Holden, <br /> Fran Holmes, Nick Tamble, Ed Werner, Planning Commission Members: Clayton <br /> Larson, Roberta Thompson, Angela Homes, Andy Holewa, Samuel Scott, <br /> Clayton Zimmerman <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> From: TAT Properties LLC / 1201 County Road E LLC <br /> Rob Davidson/Stu Nolan <br /> At the request of the City of Arden Hills the property owners of 1201 W. County Road E are <br /> providing the following responses to the proposed zoning code changes for multi-family dwelling <br /> units. <br /> Based upon the proposed regulations it is obvious and clear that the regulations are targeted <br /> and conceived substantially to prohibit and inhibit the apartment redevelopment that was <br /> proposed to the City of Arden Hills under PC12-009. Please keep in mind that redevelopment <br /> of an existing property is very different from that of a newly constructed property and the <br /> suggested design changes incorporated herein make redevelopment of an existing property <br /> impossible. <br /> Subd. 1 Minimum unit size. 600 SF plus 100 SF for each bedroom. <br /> Arden Hills staff is proposing minimum unit sizes in violation of the State Building <br /> Code which provides for a minimum unit size of 220 SF. Why staff is <br /> reel ommending this despite recent MN Supreme Court ruling is unclear. <br /> Subd. 2 Security Plan. Complete security plan submitted at time of proposal,subject to <br /> Ramsey County Sheriffs Dept. approval. <br /> Compliance with the Sheriffs Crime Free Program including security plan and <br /> closed circuit tv/taped system is acceptable. <br /> Subd. 3 Lighting Plan Component. In compliance with the recommendations of the <br /> Ramsey County Sheriffs Dept. in addition to any maximum lighting requirements <br /> as described elsewhere in the City's Zoning Code. <br /> Exterior photometric plan consistent with lighting level typically required for multi- <br /> family is reasonable and acceptable. <br /> 39011' —0—oods Ueiee,Suite 125 Arden Hill,MN 55112 Phone:651-481-6290 Pa, 16511,481-6289 F-A -ob@dat-idson—s.eom <br />
