ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – October 8, 2014 9 <br /> <br />8. Under the revised Construction Schedule, Phase II of the project would still be completed <br />prior to December 31, 2016, as required by the Contract for Private Development signed <br />by and between the City and Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills, Inc. <br />9. The applicant is requesting an Amendment to the approved Master and Final PUD to <br />reallocate the four hospice units that were to be constructed in the Lakeview Building to <br />the Brownstone Buildings as independent senior apartment units. <br />10. The additional four independent senior apartment units proposed for the Brownstone <br />Buildings would not increase the 410 units and net density of 18.2 units per acre <br />approved for the property in Planning Case 10-012. <br />11. The applicant is requesting an Amendment to revise the conditions in the PUD <br />Agreement to allow for the removal of the required speed bumps on the County Road D <br />driveway if the traffic study to be completed one year following the completion of the <br />redevelopment project supports such removal. <br />12. The Master and Final PUD approved in Planning Case 10-012 are in substantial <br />conformance with the requirements of the City’s Zoning Code. <br />13. Where the Master and Final PUD are not in conformance with the City’s Zoning Code, <br />flexibility has been granted and/or conditions have been placed on the approval to <br />mitigate the nonconformity. <br />14. The proposed Amendments will not result in any new nonconformity not already <br />approved in the Master and Final PUD for the property. <br />15. The proposed Amendments to the Master and Final PUD are not anticipated to create a <br />negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler stated that based on the submitted plans and findings of fact, staff <br />recommends approval of Planning Case 14-031 for a Master and Final Planned Unit <br />Development Amendment for the Johanna Shores redevelopment project located at 3200 Lake <br />Johanna Boulevard. Staff is recommending that the following sixteen (16) conditions be included <br />with the approval: <br /> <br />1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the submitted plans as amended by the <br />conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City <br />Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City <br />Council. <br />2. An amendment to the PUD Development Agreement shall be prepared by the City <br />Attorney and subject to City Council approval. The document shall be executed prior to <br />the issuance of a building permit. <br />3. The Developer shall obtain a Grading and Erosion Control Permit and commence initial <br />site work on Phase II by December 31, 2014. <br />4. The Developer shall obtain a building permit for Phase II by June 30, 2015, or the <br />approval shall expire unless extended by the City Council prior to the approval’s <br />expiration date. Extension requests must be submitted in writing to the City at least 45 <br />days prior to the expiration date. <br />5. The Developer shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the <br />estimated costs of site improvements including grading, utilities, and paving, prior to the <br />issuance of a building permit. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit <br />issued by a FDIC-insured Minnesota bank, and be in a form acceptable to the City. The <br />purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that site improvements are completed in the <br />event that the developer defaults on the PUD Development Agreement.
