ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – March 5, 2014 5 Commissioner Jones asked how the light fixtures behind the windows would be maintained. Mr. Roberts reported that a sheetrock wall would be installed six inches away from the windows. The wall would have an access panel to allow for the light fixtures to be maintained. Commissioner Jones questioned if the rear side of the building would have tenant signage. Mr. Roberts commented each tenant would have signage on the front and rear façades of the building. He then provided the Commissioner’s with an overview of the proposed development. Commissioner Hames supported the proposed window design and was thrilled to see such a nice development coming to the City of Arden Hills. Vice Chair Thompson agreed stating the proposed lighting in the windows would be an improvement in comparison to the non-transparent glass used on the Walgreens on Lexington Avenue. She thought the lighting would improve the appearance of this façade. Commissioner Bartel believed that the rear of the building would be quite attractive as it was fully brick, with windows and awnings. He supported the proposed window design. Vice Chair Thompson recommended that the windows on the rear façade remain clean and that the light fixtures be in good working order. Mr. Roberts explained that he would discuss this with the tenants and anticipated that he would be responsible for the lights and windows. He described how the window coating would disburse the light. Vice Chair Thompson recommended that the window and light maintenance be made a condition for approval. Associate Planner Bachler suggested that staff review this recommendation with the City Attorney prior to going before the City Council. Commissioner Bartel moved and Commissioner Hames seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 14-010 for a Planned Unit Development Amendment at 3833 Lexington Avenue North based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the three (3) conditions in the March 5, 2014, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried 4-1 (Holewa opposed). B. Planning Case 14-009; Zoning Code Amendment – Multi-Family Design Standards – Public Hearing City Planner Streff stated that in January 2013, the City Council requested that staff review the City’s minimum unit size standards for multi-family dwelling units. Currently, these standards require multi-family dwelling units to be a minimum of 600 square feet, with an additional 100 square feet required for each bedroom. The Council expressed concerns that the standards could permit multi-bedroom apartments that do not provide adequate floor area per resident. For
