ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 30, 20139 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher <br /> indicated the original PUD allowed only for <br />transparent glass. However, staff was in favor of allowing spandrel glass in lieu of banner <br />coatings. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> asked if the Council should approve the use of spandrel glass. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher <br /> explained there were still a number of <br />unknowns and suggested the Council hold off until the tenants for the corner bays were secured. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> suggested the Council direct staff to report back once the tenants for the corner <br />bays were secured by the applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> was in favor of allowing staff to negotiate this issue with the applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> recommended that the applicant go through the PUD amendment <br />process again if significant changes were made to the windows. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff <br />commented that the Council could direct staff to negotiate window coverage <br />for store rooms and kitchens with the applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> asked if staff was comfortable with this suggestion. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher <br /> supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> was in favor of retaining flexibility for staff and the developer, but <br />stated a PUD amendment may be necessary considering the tenants were unknown. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br />requested comment from the applicant. <br /> <br />Tim Gilbert <br />, Roberts Management Group, 1851 Berkley Road in White Bear Lake, stated the <br />possibility of spandrel glass was still unknown. He commented it may be necessary to use <br />spandrel glass if a restaurant was to locate in one of the corner bays. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> withdrew her recommendation and suggested the Council take no <br />action addressing the windows at this time. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> questioned if Condition 10 should be removed. <br /> <br />Community Development Intern Bachler <br /> recommended Condition 10 remain worded as is. <br /> <br /> The amended motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />10. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />
