ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL MAY 27, 201410 <br /> <br />discussion, the City Council directed staff to have Arden Plaza, LLC submit a formal application <br />requesting this extension. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler <br />indicated that the Pamela Couch Trust and JGC Trust, joint owners of <br />the parcel where Walgreens is located, also requested a change that would have removed the <br />condition that waives their right to appeal assessments levied against their property for the B-2 <br />District streetscape improvements. The City Council directed staff to keep the existing language <br />regarding the assessment in the document. Staff is continuing to work with the Trusts and <br />Walgreens on how they would like to proceed. Once this issue is resolved, a final Amended and <br />Restated Development Agreement will come back to the City Council for review. The Agreement <br />will incorporate any approvals granted by the City Council in Planning Case 14-018. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler <br />recommended approval of Planning Case 14-018 for a Planned Unit <br />Development Amendment at 3527 Lexington Avenue North and 1150 County Road E West, <br />based on the May 27, 2014, Report to the City Council. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve Planning Case 14-018 for a Planned Unit Development <br />Amendment at 3527 Lexington Avenue North and 1150 County Road E West, <br />based on the May 27, 2014, Report to the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> asked if there was anything the Council could do to assist with the <br />assessment discussions. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler <br /> provided comment on how the assessment discussions were <br />progressing with the multiple entities. <br /> <br />The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br /> <br />C.Discussion on 1861 Lakeshore Place <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> commented that a portion of Lakeshore Place abutting the property at 1861 <br />Lakeshore Place would be paved as early as next Tuesday. He expressed concern with the <br />drainage around this property and requested comment from staff. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> discussed the location of this property along with the grade <br />of the roadway. He reviewed the plan for the roadway, along with the location of the proposed <br />concrete curb and gutter. It was noted that the water collected from the curb would flow into a <br />ditch. He explained that a portion of right-of-way was purchased from the property owner for an <br />Xcel transmission line and would also have two drainage swales. He commented that the depth of <br />the ditch was not excessive but would allow for water collection. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> understood that the property owner had concerns with the <br />ditch for several reasons. The aesthetics were an issue, along with potential drainage issues of the <br />storm water collected. He reported that the capacity of the culvert would be much greater than <br />that of a curb inlet. He stated that curb inlets had the potential to clog. If the City were to try and <br />rebuild this area with curb and gutter storm sewer, the City would need to assume a $40,000 <br />
