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 pans and noted that the proposed property lines of the plat will not impact the existing wetland mitigation area in the northwest quadrant of the Boston Scientific campus. Any future site modifications or building construction may require additional RCWD permits. Findings of Fact This planning case includes three requests: the Preliminary Plat, the Final Plat, and an amendment to the existing PUD for the property. Staff offers the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. The applicant has requested approval of a Preliminary and Final Plat and an amendment to the PUD for the property at 4100 Hamline Avenue North. 2. The subdivision would create two new parcels (Lot 1 and Lot 2) within the existing Boston Scientific Campus plat. 3. The proposed subdivision is in conformance with the Subdivision Ordinance in Chapter 11 of the Arden Hills City Code. 4. A Master PUD was approved for 4100 Hamline Avenue North in Planning Case #02-025. 5. The applicant has requested an amendment to the PUD to reflect the change in the property boundaries, to update the Campus Master Plan, and to create a separate PUD for the proposed Lot 1. 6. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City’s regulations through a negotiated process with a property owner. 7. Lot 1 and Lot 2 are located in the I-1 Limited Industrial Zoning District. 8. The proposed uses on Lot 1 and Lot 2 are permitted uses in the I-1 District. 9. The revisions to the Campus Master Plan are in substantial conformance with the original PUD approval granted by the City in Planning Case #02-025. 10. The PUD amendment is in substantial conformance with the requirements of the City’s Zoning Code. 11. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City’s Zoning Code, flexibility has been requested by the applicant and/or conditions have been placed on the approval that would mitigate the nonconformity.
