new buildings. As the project was approved, Building 1 (Walgreen’s) would have been 14,600 <br />square feet. Building 3 would have been attached to Building 1 and was anticipated to be a retail <br />and/or restaurant use of 4,700 square feet. Building 2 would have been a 6,000 square foot <br />single restaurant user, and Building 4 would have been 18,000 square feet with a user that had <br />yet to be determined. The entire project would have been completed in three phases. The <br />approved Master Development Plan is included as Attachment B. <br />As part of the original application, the developer also received approval for a Final PUD for <br />Phase I of the development. The first phase was for Buildings 1 and 3. The applicant included a <br />Phase I Development Plan (Attachment B) which details what aspects of the project would be <br />constructed with Phase I. While the Final PUD for Phase I has been approved, future approvals <br />for Phase II and III would require review before both the Planning Commission and City <br />Council. <br />Since the approval of the Master and Final PUD for Phase I, the developer’s negotiations with <br />Walgreen’s have stalled. The developer has since started negotiating with CVS Pharmacy, <br />which has prepared a revised site plan that has received preliminary approval from their <br />corporate offices. <br />Project Proposal <br />The applicants would like to move forward with a PUD Amendment to allow for certain <br />revisions to the project layout and timeline. The changes to the project are summarized in detail <br />in Attachment A. The applicants have also provided a proposed site layout that is included as <br />Attachment C. <br />In sum, the proposed Building 1 would now be a CVS Pharmacy, instead of a Walgreens, and <br />would be reoriented to have the entrance to the southeast. Building 1 has been moved to the east, <br />closer to Lexington Avenue, allowing a row of parking to be removed between the building and <br />the road. Building 3 has been eliminated from the plan; however, Building 2 has been moved up <br />in the construction schedule and is now included in Phase 1. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for June 8, 2011 <br />\\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Planning\Planning Cases\2011\11-008 - Arden Plaza Concept Review (Pending)\06-08-11 - Arden Plaza Concept <br />Review - PC Memo.doc <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
