CITY OF AN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: June 13, 2001 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mike Cronin, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: Case #01-08, Planned Unit Development Amendment 4300 West Round Lake Road, 1887 & 1987 Gateway Blvd. Request The applicant is requesting to amend the Planned Unit Development for the properties at 4300 W. Round Lake Road and 1887 & 1987 Gateway Blvd. to screen the existing refuse containers on all properties. Background This Planning Case was originally reviewed at the April 4, 2001 Planning Commission meeting and was tabled at that time. The Planning Commission asked that the applicant propose an alternative form of screening (beyond fencing) so that the dumpsters on the three properties would be out of view from the roadway. The Planning Commission recommended a more permanent solution to the applicant, such as permanent walls extending from the buildings. The applicant has submitted a letter, explaining her proposal, with photographs of the properties (Exhibit A (map) & Exhibit B). The amended proposal is to increase the amount of landscaping to screen the loading dock areas (which house numerous dumpsters) from Round Lake Road. Please refer back to the drawings and staff memorandum provided to you in your April 4, 2001 Planning Commission meeting packet to review this issue. A full Zoning Ordinance review memorandum, dated March 19, 2001,was provided to you at that time for this case. This information has not been provided a second time with this packet. Zoning Review The Section 6, G, #2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that, "In all districts, all waste materials, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or be properly screened and contained in a closed container designed for such purpose so as not to be visible from adjoining properties or public streets". The applicant is proposing the following landscaping to properly screen the refuse containers on the properties: ■ Arden Hills Galeiva'v Center (4300 Round Lake Road): Plant six, seven foot Colorado Spruce tress along the west side of the loading dock area where the dumpsters and trash compactors are located.
