From: Amy Died <br /> To: Meagan Beekman:Jill Hutmacher <br /> Subject: FW: Discussion for planning commission on 7/11 about multi-family housing <br /> Date: Tuesday,July 10,2012 7:34:49 AM <br /> Just sharing this email that came in... <br /> Amy Dietl <br /> Deputy City Clerk <br /> Citv of Arden Hills <br /> 1245 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills,MN 55112-5743 <br /> 651-792-7811 (P)651-634-5137(F) <br /> amv.dietl@ci.arden- ills.m_n.us <br /> www.ci.arden-bills.mn.us <br /> From: Steve Gjerdingen [mailto:steven-gjerdingen @bethel.edu] <br /> Sent: Tuesday,July 10, 2012 4:21 AM <br /> To: AHInformation <br /> Subject: Discussion for planning commission on 7/11 about multi-family housing <br /> Hello, <br /> I understand that the planning commission will be meeting on 7/11 in a worksession to <br /> discuss multi-family housing requirements.

The former Holiday Inn property succeeded at having a street <br /> oriented entrance. When Northwestern took this property over for 3 years, students <br /> unfortunately were not allowed to enter at the front entrance, and much of the life <br /> surrounding this property disappeared to the back of the property. Allowing rear entrances to <br /> be the only primary entrance to multi-family dwellings creates an automobile oriented <br /> property, a kind of property that would not serve the B2 district or other districts of Arden <br /> Hills very well. Street oriented entrances encourage alternative transportation, community, <br /> street life, and visual awareness of the activities on a property. <br /> 2) Secure bicycle parking - <br /> Not only do I believe that this should be a requirement for multi-family dwellings, but I <br /> believe that the type of parking should also be specified. Parking spaces should allow secure <br />
