ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – OCTOBER 27, 2014 8 1. That the project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. That the exact location of the new access along County Road F shall be approved by Ramsey County and the RCWD.

That the applicant shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the estimated costs of landscaping prior to the issuance of a grading permit. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit issued by a FDIC-insured Minnesota bank. The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that landscaping is completed in the event that the developer defaults on the approved plan. The City will hold the letter of credit for two years after the installation of landscaping. The letter of credit should not expire during the two-year period. 4. That the final tree and landscaping plan shall be approved by the City before the issuance of the grading permit to ensure that the plan meets the landscaping regulations stated in Section 1325.05 of the City Code. 5. That any newly created parking space or parking area shall meet the parking regulations stated in Section 1325.05 of the City Code. 6.

At a minimum it shall meet the requirements stated in Section 1325.50 Subd. 3 of the City’s Zoning Code. 7. That a Grading and Erosion Control Permit shall be issued by the City before the commencement of any construction, grading or disturbance of soil within the parking lot area. Mayor Grant thanked Ryan for his staff report and asked if the proposed plan was reviewed by the Fire Department. City Planner Streff did not believe that the Fire Department reviewed the parking lot plan, but this could be a made a condition for approval. MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 14-030 for a Site Plan Review to reconfigure the existing parking lot at 4105 Lexington Avenue North, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the seven (7) conditions in the October 27, 2014, Report to the City Council, also requiring the plan to be reviewed and approved by the Lake Johanna Fire Department. Councilmember Holden did not support the additional requirement. Mayor Grant understood her concern. He stated that in the future it would be ideal to have had the Fire Department and Ramsey County Sheriff review the case prior to coming to the City Council. Councilmember Holden asked if the applicant had submitted a lighting plan.
