ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – October 8, 2014 13 <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa requested additional information on the trees and fencing between <br />Presbyterian Homes and Shorewood Drive. <br /> <br />Ms. Belz explained that the original plan for this area within the PUD was for the trees to remain <br />as is. However, a storm last year downed several nice trees. She reported it would be cost <br />prohibitive to remove the cottonwood trees. She commented she was willing to work with the <br />City to create an acceptable plan for this area. It was noted the chain link fence and buckthorn <br />would be removed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa thanked Presbyterian Homes, along with staff for their assistance in <br />completing the triangle parcel. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hames questioned if the lighting plan and amount of lumens for this area had <br />changed significantly. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler indicated that Presbyterian Homes has submitted a photometric plan <br />and staff reviewed this plan along with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department. There were <br />concerns with the lighting plan and the high level of foot-candle measurements in several areas. <br />These concerns were expressed to Presbyterian Homes and revisions are being made to the <br />lighting plan. Staff would be verifying the revised photometric plan to insure it meets the City’s <br />lighting requirements, as noted within Condition 12. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa moved and Commissioner Zimmerman seconded a motion to <br />recommend approval of Planning Case 14-031 for a Master and Final Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) Amendment for the Johanna Shores Redevelopment Project located at <br />3200 Lake Johanna Boulevard based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, <br />approving all four (4) amendments, as amended by the sixteen (16) conditions in the <br />October 8, 2014, report to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa stated he supported the four PUD amendments as recommended by staff. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hames also supported the PUD amendments. She suggested staff be more <br />proactive in posting “No Parking” signs on Sandeen Road and Shorewood Drive. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Thompson appreciated the pathways and greenspace that would be created through <br />the proposed PUD amendments. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jones thanked the neighbors for voicing their comments and concerns this <br />evening. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br />
