NEW BUSINESS – 8A <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for February 23, 2015 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-036 - Red Fox Business Center PUD\Memos_Reports_14-036 <br />Page 2 of 13 <br />Two driveways are proposed to provide access to the development, the first along the eastern <br />property line for passenger vehicles and the second along the western property line for truck <br />traffic. In this case, it is important to separate passenger vehicles and truck traffic whenever <br />possible in order to minimize conflicts. Parking areas for passenger vehicles would be located <br />along the front façade of Building 1 and along the front and side façades of Building 2. As <br />indicated on the plan set, Building 1 provides a parking area consisting of 82 parking stalls and <br />Building 2 has 80 parking stalls incorporated into its design. In this development, truck docks <br />have been provided along the western façade of Building 1 and along the southeast façade of <br />Building 2. The docks on these building have been positioned on the site to minimize their view <br />from adjacent rights-of-way and neighboring buildings. Where less desirable views exist on to <br />the site, increased landscaping has been provided by the applicant. <br /> <br />Both of the proposed buildings would be similar in design and use. The applicant expects 50% <br />wholesaling and warehousing uses with the remainder of the space used for office space, <br />business services, research and development, manufacturing and processing (class 1), retail, and <br />other similar uses. Given the visibility of the property from Interstate 694 and Snelling Avenue, <br />Roberts Management Group believes the project could attract some commercial showroom and <br />retail tenants as well. <br /> <br />As proposed, the buildings would be constructed with high quality tilt-up concrete panels with <br />exposed aggregate. Decorative metal and anodized aluminum would be used as accent materials <br />to provide architectural interest to the building façades and to create focal points for entryways <br />and corners of the buildings. The applicant intends to use a significant amount of glass coverage <br />on the front façades of each building by incorporating ribbon windows. Glass coverage on the <br />front façade of both buildings would be approximately 42% with an average of approximately <br />22%-25% glass coverage when combined between all façades. Building 1 would be designed <br />with a 22 foot clear height and Building 2 would be constructed with a 24 foot clear height in <br />order to allow tenants to maximize the use of their space and provide the ability to store products <br />vertically. Attachment B provides additional details on building elevations depicting the types of <br />building materials that would be used for the building construction. <br /> <br />The applicant has submitted a project narrative explaining the proposed Red Fox Business <br />Center development in further detail, where flexibility is being requested, and why the overall <br />proposal is within the public interest (Attachment C). A complete plan set, including the Site <br />Plan, Tree Preservation & Landscaping Plan, and Photometric Plan have also been submitted <br />(Attachment D). <br /> <br />Planning Case 14-036 includes three requests: <br />1. Master Planned Unit Development <br />2. Final Planned Unit Development <br />3. Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />
