ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL JULY 8, 2013 11 Councilmember Holmes questioned where the sidewalk was proposed to be completed in Phase I. Mr. Roberts reviewed the location of the Phase I sidewalk stating he would prefer to complete the additional length within Phase III. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded an amendment to have the signage within the Lexington Avenue Master PUD adhere to the B3 Zoning District and Sign District 6 standards. Councilmember Werner stated that Phase I had a disadvantage as the rear of the building would face Lexington Avenue. Councilmember Holden commented that her amendment was addressing the fact that the applicant did not have a finalized sign package for the Council to review. Councilmember Holmes did not support this amendment as the applicant would require some level of flexibility on the monument sign and future tenant signs. Councilmember McClung understood the proposed amendment but also understood the future tenants were unknown. This was the reason the sign plan was incomplete. Mayor Grant stated that the applicant would come back to the Council with a sign plan once the tenants were finalized. For this reason, he would not support the amendment. Councilmember Holden questioned if the Master PUD could be approved with no sign plan. Community Development Intern Bachler noted that a condition for approval required the applicant to bring a final sign plan to the City at a future date. The amendment failed (2-3) (Holmes, McClung and Mayor Grant opposed). AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Mayor Grant seconded an amendment to require the applicant to complete the entire length of the sidewalks along Red Fox Road as shown in the Master PUD in Phase I and that the applicant coordinate this project with Ramsey County. Councilmember McClung agreed with the intent of this amendment but felt it would be burdensome to the applicant. Councilmember Holden supported the sidewalk completion on Lexington Avenue. Mr. Roberts was in favor of completing the sidewalk along Red Fox Road as shown in Phase II, but requested the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue stop at the driveway entrance as shown on the Phase I plan.
