i <br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — MARCH 26, 2001 <br /> L 1 6 <br /> i <br /> Councilmember Larson asked if there is some reason that the developer wants that in there. He <br /> noted he worries about an envelope that is so large. Mr. Carlson responded the new campuses <br /> have corporate functions and various uses that are not all office uses. He stated one office might <br /> also need a light laboratory use. He noted it would be in an office environment, but not an all <br /> office use. He added St. Jude medical is a good example. He stated it has office and some light <br /> lab. He noted there are quality control departments and preparatory departments. He added they <br /> wanted flexibility to accommodate that within a campus environment. He stated they have also <br /> put that it would not exceed 50 percent of the total development. He noted one of the parts of the <br /> campus might have a little more of that type of use. <br /> Councilmember Larson asked for clarification. Mr. Carlson responded it is to address the <br /> situation proactively. He stated day care is an important issue. He noted some want the day care <br /> inside the building and some want it in an adjacent building. <br /> Councilmember Larson stated it is hard to imagine having something that small occupying any <br /> part of that space. Mr. Carlson responded they would not focus on day care since it could have a <br /> pseudo retailer use like a small cafeteria or a bank. He stated the user might not want it in their <br /> building. He noted they are responding to what corporate users have on their list. He added this <br /> is one of their ways to provide flexibility. <br /> Councilmember Larson stated if an eight-story high quality building is their goal, then it is hard <br /> to see this small of a building being a part of that. He noted he does not prefer to see the use of Is <br /> colored architectural precast concrete or EFIS. He added he does not find these buildings as <br /> attractive as that other building because it is not using the same materials. He stated he knows <br /> the last time they were here he felt the freeway side of building would be more attractive if it did <br /> not have parking on it. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that given this is at 35W and 694 he does not have problem with the <br /> height of the building. He noted he would like to hear about the four additional items from the <br /> March 20th meeting. He added he agreed with Councilmember Larson, because of the <br /> prominence of the site they want to make sure it is of the highest quality. <br /> Mr. Carlson stated, as for condition one, it is hard at this point to determine the number of <br /> children allowable in this project. He noted ten would not meet the requirements of a corporate <br /> user. He added they recommend letting the state guidelines determine what could fit. He stated <br /> if it is going to be an effective tool, then they need to be able to accommodate them. He noted <br /> they have put together various samples of EFIS to show the range of use of materials. He added <br /> both precast, brick, and glass could be used to project a high level of quality. He stated he <br /> thought EFIS has been proven as a material to use more than 10 percent. He noted there are a lot <br /> of cost pressures on this site. He added the cost of the structured parking is estimated to be <br /> $9,600 per stall. He stated when all these stalls of deck parking are needed there is a tremendous <br /> cost. He noted it needs 12 feet of fill and they have wetland mitigation. He added the days <br /> when they could build a granite and marble building are gone. He stated companies are looking <br /> for a good solid design with a standard of quality. He noted they do not want to pay. He added <br /> they want to be able to compromise for cost. He added 30 percent of the building does not affect <br />
