part of this proposal. Boston Scientific has included this access drive as a possible option for a future property owner or tenant on the site depending on their needs. Construction of this access would require a Site Plan Review as well as approval through the Ramsey County Public Works Department. Ramsey County has reviewed the Campus Master Plan and their comments are included in Attachment E. The development plans for the Boston Scientific Campus would be phased over the next 20 years. The construction of new buildings and parking ramps will be coordinated with the future growth of Boston Scientific Corporation. An estimated construction schedule is included in Attachment A. As is the case with the existing PUD, new building construction or site modifications identified on the approved Campus Master Plan will require the submittal of a Site Plan Review for City Council approval prior to construction. Proposed construction or site modifications not conforming to the approved Campus Master Plan would require an amendment to the PUD. This requirement would apply to both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Plan Review A full evaluation of the proposal was presented to the Planning Commission at their February 4 2015, Regular Meeting. The staff report to the Planning Commission on this case is included in Attachment F. The following section provides a summary of the main topics discussed by the Planning Commission and areas where flexibility from the Zoning Code is needed through the PUD process. Subdivision Code Review The proposed plat would subdivide the Boston Scientific property into two lots. Both Lot 1 and Lot 2 abut their full right-of-way frontage on a public street and exceed the Zoning Code requirements in terms of lot width, depth, and area. Drainage and utility easements have been provided on each lot and over delineated wetland areas in accordance with the Subdivision Code requirements. The park dedication requirements included in the Subdivision Code were satisfied by the Guidant Corporation in conjunction with the original Master PUD and Final Plat approval for the site in 2002. Guidant was required to provide the City with a public trailway easement and a private trailway license, and to construct and convey a picnic shelter for Cummings Park in order to satisfy this requirement. No additional park dedication is required. Zoning Code Review A.
