At the time of the property division, 3,899 parking stalls would be required for Lot 2 based on the existing gross building area on the property. Boston Scientific is currently providing 2,808 existing stalls and has identified 1,091 “proof of parking” spaces on their Campus Master Plan. The current number of employees on the Arden Hills campus is approximately 2,200 and Boston Scientific has acknowledged that the existing parking satisfies the parking demand. E. Traffic, Access, and Circulation The existing PUD Agreement for the site requires that a traffic study be done at the end of Phase 1 once the 419,500 square feet of additional building space has been constructed. The purpose of this traffic study would be to evaluate existing conditions and determine if any traffic improvements are needed prior to further development on the campus. To date, 207,560 square feet of new building space has been built on the campus. Prior to the City granting approval for new building construction on Lot 2 that would result in more than an additional 211,940 square feet of building space, Boston Scientific will be required to complete a traffic study. At this time, no new buildings are proposed for Lot 1. If additional building space is proposed for Lot 1 at a future date, the property owner may be required to complete a traffic study. Additional Review City Engineer and Building Official The City Engineer has reviewed the Preliminary and Final Plat documents and has no additional comments as this time. The Building Official has reviewed the proposed revisions to the Campus Master Plan and has no additional comments at this time. Ramsey County Public Works Department The Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed the submitted plans and has noted that any new accesses on either Hamline Avenue North or County Road F will require approval through Ramsey County. A right-of-way permit would also be required for any construction activity occurring with the County’s right-of-way. Lake Johanna Fire Department The Fire Marshal has reviewed the submitted plans and noted that when Boston Scientific applies for a Site Plan Review for the proposed parking lot modifications along the Lot 1 and 2 property line, fire truck access to the east side of the existing buildings on Lot 1 will need to be ensured. The City will coordinate the review of any plans to modify the parking lot with the Lake Johanna Fire Department to verify that adequate fire access is maintained on the site. Rice Creek Watershed District The Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed the submitted plans and provided comments in Attachment E. Any future site modifications or building construction may require additional RCWD permits.
