ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 26, 2015 2 <br /> the blue light at the Holiday Stationstore was extremely intense at this time. It was noted that <br /> Holiday was proposing to add 750 linear feet of additional blue lighting. For this reason, Ms. <br /> Bach recommended that the Council follow staff's recommendation and deny the PUD <br /> amendment request as she did not believe that the additional blue lights should be allowed for <br /> further branding of the Holiday Stationstore. <br /> Mike Loosbrock, 4535 Lake Shore Place, did not support the additional blue lighting at Holiday <br /> Stationstore. He reported that residents across the lake are able to see the blue lighting during the <br /> day and at night. He expressed concern with how the additional lighting would impact his <br /> neighborhood and recommended that the Council deny Holiday Stationstores' request. <br /> Glenn Beggin, 4519 Lake Shore Place, indicated that he could see the Holiday Stationstore from <br /> his house as well. He believed that the additional branding and blue lighting should not be <br /> allowed given the City's current sign ordinance. He recommended that the Council deny <br /> Holiday's PUD amendment. <br /> Tom Coffey, 1693 Wedgewood Circle, noted that he can see the Holiday Station lights all <br /> through the winter and spring months. He objected to additional blue lighting at the Holiday <br /> Stationstore. <br /> Dave Cmiel, 1861 West Highway 96, explained that he sent an email to Council. He discussed <br /> the original PUD for the Holiday Station noting that residents located more than 500 feet from the <br /> Holiday property were notified of the proposed changes. He questioned why residents located <br /> more than 500 feet from the Holiday property were not informed of the current PUD Amendment <br /> request. He recommended that the Council not allow additional blue lighting as it was clearly <br /> being used for advertising and branding by the Holiday Stationstore. <br /> 3. STAFF COMMENTS <br /> A.
