City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for July 8, 2015 Page 1 of 1 MEMORANDUM DATE: July 8 , 2015 PC Agenda Item 5.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Report from the City Council May 26, 2015, City Council Regular Meeting The City Council unanimously approved Planning Case 15-009 and Planning Case 15-012, both of which received a recommendation for approval from the Planning Commission on May 6, 2015. Planning Case 15-009 was a request from Bethel University for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the construction of a soccer facility building on the Ona Orth Athletic Field complex. Planning Case 15-012 was a request from Caribou Coffee for a PUD Amendment to allow for the construction of a drive-thru lane and pick-up window at their store located at 3673 Lexington Avenue North. The City Council voted to deny (4-1, Holmes) Planning Case 15-008 for a PUD Amendment for the installation of accent lighting at the Holiday service station at 1920 W. Highway 96. The City Council determined that even though the intensity of the light source would be mitigated if a dimmer module were to be installed, as recommended by the Planning Commission, the contrasting color and extent of light along the full length of all sides of the canopy and building roof line would still maximize visibility and distraction to neighboring residential properties. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this case at their meeting on May 6, 2015. June 29, 2015, City Council Regular Meeting The City Council unanimously approved Planning Case 15-010 for a Minor Subdivision at 3517 Siems Court. The subdivision will allow the property owner to sell a 5,540 square foot portion of land to the adjacent property owner at 3535 Siems Court. This case was reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 6, 2015, and received a unanimous recommendation for approval.
