ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2015 12 <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A. Report from the City Council <br /> <br />Councilmember Woodburn updated the Planning Commission on City Council activities from <br />the May 26, 2015, Regular Meeting. The City Council unanimously approved Planning Case 15- <br />009 and Planning Case 15-012, both of which received a recommendation for approval from the <br />Planning Commission on May 6, 2015. Planning Case 15-009 was a request from Bethel <br />University for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the construction of a soccer facility <br />building on the Ona Orth Athletic Field complex. Planning Case 15-012 was a request from <br />Caribou Coffee for a PUD Amendment to allow for the construction of a drive-thru lane and <br />pick-up window at their store located at 3673 Lexington Avenue North. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woodburn indicated that the City Council voted to deny (4-1, Holmes) <br />Planning Case 15-008 for a PUD Amendment for the installation of accent lighting at the <br />Holiday service station at 1920 W. Highway 96. The City Council determined that even though <br />the intensity of the light source would be mitigated if a dimmer module were to be installed, as <br />recommended by the Planning Commission, the contrasting color and extent of light along the <br />full length of all sides of the canopy and building roof line would still maximize visibility and <br />distraction to neighboring residential properties. The Planning Commission unanimously <br />recommended approval of this case at their meeting on May 6, 2015. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woodburn reported that at the June 29, 2015, City Council Regular Meeting, <br />the City Council unanimously approved Planning Case 15-010 for a Minor Subdivision at 3517 <br />Siems Court. The subdivision will allow the property owner to sell a 5,540 square foot portion of <br />land to the adjacent property owner at 3535 Siems Court. This case was reviewed by the <br />Planning Commission on May 6, 2015, and received a unanimous recommendation for approval. <br /> <br />B. Planning Commission Comments and Requests <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />C. Staff Comments <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />Commissioner Jones moved, seconded by Commissioner Holewa, to adjourn the July 8, <br />2015, Planning Commission Meeting at 8:24 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). <br />
