ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 23, 2015 8 <br /> <br />Mayor Pro-Tem McClung understood flexibility was being requested with regard to tree <br />preservation and tree plantings. He requested further information from the applicant as to why the <br />Council should consider this flexibility. <br /> <br />Mr. Roberts commented that this was the only area he was requesting flexibility through the <br />entire PUD process. He stated that part of the reason was because there are a lot of trees on the <br />site and that he was running out of space to plant trees; except for the location along the northwest <br />property line. He suggested that this property line not be fully screened by trees in order for the <br />new building to be viewed by passing traffic along the freeway. He wanted to capture some of <br />this exposure for his future tenants. He discussed further how he had worked to achieve both his <br />and the City’s goals through the PUD. <br /> <br />Ben Hartberg, consulting landscape architect for the applicant, reviewed the landscape plan <br />further with the Council. He noted that some of the existing trees along the property line belong <br />to HealthPartners. He reported that trees could not be planted over the watermain, but stated <br />junipers or a fence may be an option to provide additional screening. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer explained that the City had two utility mains running along this <br />property, a 16” water main and a sanitary sewer line that crossed under I-694. Staff did not <br />recommend plantings in this area given the fact they may need to be taken out for repairs in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Mr. Roberts indicated that he would be more than happy to offer additional plantings if they <br />could be placed on the HealthPartners property, away from the utility easement. He stated that he <br />would be happy to plant four or five trees in this area. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro-Tem McClung and Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the loading dock elevation of the building. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested that the applicant break up and further improve this elevation. <br />She encouraged Roberts Management Group to communicate their construction plan and timing <br />to HealthPartners. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Woodburn seconded a <br />motion to approve Planning Case 14-036 for a Master and Final Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to construct <br />two (2) multi-tenant light industrial buildings, based on the findings of fact <br />and the submitted plans, as amended by the fourteen (14) conditions in the <br />February 23, 2015, Report to the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden suggested that Condition #15 be added and read: City Staff will be <br />allowed entrance at least one time a year to determine the percentage of warehouse space. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Pro-Tem McClung <br />seconded a motion adding Condition #15 which will read: That City <br />Staff shall be allowed access to the development on an annual basis to
