ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 20149 <br /> <br />Megan Carr <br />, Arden Village, LLC, 366 South Tenth Avenue in Waite Park, discussed the <br />construction timeline and anticipated that a Certificate of Occupancy would be applied for <br />sometime in April. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> asked if any leases had been signed. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr <br /> commented that marketing efforts were beginning and explained that the requested <br />signs would greatly assist with these efforts. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> asked if the signage could be taken down if the building were to lease quickly. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr <br />stated that this was requested by the Planning Commission as well and that the Sand <br />Company would be willing to take the signage down if the building filled quickly. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> was pleased with the proposed market rental rates. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> indicated that she has received feedback that people view this building <br />as office space. She encouraged the Sand Company to sign and market the building as leasing <br />rental units. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />Approve Planning Case #13-023 for a Site Plan Review and Sign Standard <br />Adjustment that would allow for a deviation from the Sign Code at 1290 <br />County Road F West to increase the amount of temporary wall signage and <br />the amount of time it is permitted to be displayed, based on the findings of <br />fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the six (6) conditions in the <br />January 27, 2014, Report to the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> suggested a seventh condition be added stating if the building is fully <br />occupied before July 1, 2014, that the banners be removed from the building. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Werner seconded <br />a motion amending the original motion adding Condition 7 stating that <br />if the building is fully occupied before July 1, 2014, the banners shall <br />be removed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> thought it would be important to have these signs removed as soon as <br />possible given the large size. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> supported the amendment. <br /> <br />The amendment carried (5-0). <br /> <br />The amended motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br /> B.
