<br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />3.A <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: <br />March 5, 2013 <br /> PC Agenda Item <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: <br /> Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: <br />Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #14-010 - This application requires a Public Hearing <br /> Applicant: <br />Roberts Management Group <br />Property Location: <br /> 3833 Lexington Avenue North <br />Request: <br /> Planned Unit Development Amendment <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />The applicant has requested a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to allow for a <br />revised building plan for Phase I of the Lexington Station redevelopment project at 3833 <br />Lexington Avenue North. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />On July 8, 2013, the City Council approved a Master Planned Unit Development and Final <br />Planned Unit Development for Phase I of the Lexington Station redevelopment project at 3833 <br />Lexington Avenue North in Planning Case 13-003. The approved Redevelopment Plan <br />Documents included architectural plans for the Phase I building depicting transparent windows <br />on all four sides of the building. Roberts Management Group has recently signed leases with <br />Noodles and Company and Starbucks for spaces within the building. These tenants have <br />requested to use simulated windows in select areas on the east, north, and south façades in order <br />to accommodate kitchen and restroom facilities. The applicant expects to sign leases with at least <br />one additional restaurant tenant who will also likely need to use simulated windows specifically <br />on the central section of the east façade. <br /> <br />The Master Planned Unit Development Agreement between the City and Roberts Management <br />Group states that any significant changes to the Redevelopment Plan Documents, as determined <br />by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the City Council. City staff met with <br />Roberts Management Group to discuss the proposed changes to the Phase I building design and <br />determined a PUD Amendment should be requested. <br /> <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for March 5, 2014 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-010 - Lexington Station - PUD Amendment\Memos_PC 14-010 <br />Page 1 of 6 <br />
