ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – OCTOBER 27, 2014 17 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden recommended that Condition 17 be added for approval stating: The <br />applicant shall address any lighting issues within 30 days. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Motion by Councilmember Holden and seconded by Mayor Grant to <br />add Condition 17 stating: The applicant shall address any lighting <br />issues within 30 days. The amendment carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden suggested that the brownstones include a bike rack or bike parking. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Motion by Councilmember Holden and seconded by Mayor Grant to <br />add Condition 18: require Presbyterian Homes to have bike parking <br />outside the brownstone buildings. The amendment carried <br />unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden recommended that Condition 19 be added for approval stating: The <br />applicant will have increased landscaping of at least eight trees of two inch caliper at the corner of <br />County Road D and Lake Johanna Boulevard. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Motion by Councilmember Holden and seconded by Councilmember <br />McClung to add Condition 19 stating: The applicant will have <br />increased landscaping of at least eight trees of two inch caliper at the <br />corner of County Road D and Lake Johanna Boulevard. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden believed that the additional landscaping at this intersection would <br />benefit the surrounding property owners. <br /> <br />John Mehrkens, Presbyterian Homes, asked if the Council was requiring additional caliper <br />inches at this intersection over and above the requirements within the original landscaping plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes suggested that 16 additional caliper inches be planted at this <br />intersection in addition to the original plantings within the landscaping plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung suggested that the additional plantings be reviewed by staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes did not believe that the Council was asking for too much with the eight <br />additional trees. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler reviewed the landscaping plan in further detail with the Council and <br />noted the number of existing trees at this intersection. <br /> <br />The amendment carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden did not support the additional four brownstone units and for that reason, <br />would not be supporting the PUD amendment. <br />
