ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—NOVEMBER 24, 2014 10 Frances Path, Vice President of Operations for Venture Solutions at 1170 Grey Fox Road, explained that her organization completes compliance mailings for regulatory, 529 or HIPA statements. She reported 850 million pieces would be mailed out of their facility in 2014. Mayor Grant requested further information on how the water runoff from the additional 33 parking spaces would make its way from the parking lot to the holding pond. Steve Gaybauer, Clark Engineering, introduced himself to the Council and explained there were two storm inlets within the 33 parking stalls. He indicated the water would run through these inlets to the infiltration basin. He pointed out the location of the two inlets in the parking lot, noting that a 1, 2, 10 and 100 year rain event could be managed by the site. Mayor Grant commented that the City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has recommended approval, along with the Rice Creek Watershed District. Councilmember Werner questioned if the site was currently short on parking. Mr. Thompson explained that the additional parking would be necessary after Taylor Corporation purchases an adjacent property and expands their business. Ms. Path commented that Taylor Corporation was currently short on parking and was utilizing 10 to 20 spaces at Cub Foods. Councilmember Holden asked if the infiltration basin piping would run under the green space or the parking lot. Mr. Gaybauer reported the piping would run under the parking lot and curbing. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Werner seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 14-027 for a Site Plan Review and Variance to expand the existing parking lot at 1160 Grey Fox Road, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the eight (8) conditions in the November 24, 2014, Report to the City Council. Mayor Grant believed that the site would benefit from the additional parking as it was clearly located in a business district and the City changing its regulations a few years ago had caused this property to be non-conforming. The motion carried (5-0). C. Planning Case 14-028 —Variance—Transwestern Management—3728 Dunlap Street North City Planner Streff stated that Transwestern manages the property located at 3728 Dunlap Street North, which is zoned B-4 Service Business District. The property is generally positioned north of Grey Fox Road, south of Red Fox Road, east of Dunlap Street North and west of Lexington Avenue.
