CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: June 17, 2001 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Mike Cronin, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: Case#01-12b, Planned Unit Development Amendment (Phase 11) Manufacturers' Services, 4300 West Round Lake Road Request The applicant is requesting to amend the Planned Unit Development for 4300 West Round Lake Road to expand the parking area by 27 parking spaces along the southwest side of the parcel (Phase II). Background Both phases (I and II) of this Planning Case were originally reviewed at the May 2, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of Phase I,with conditions, to the City Council,heard at their meeting on May 29, 2001. The proposed Phase II parking area expansion was tabled for additional information regarding screening of the loading area and the replacement of trees that will be removed as a result of the expansion. Also, another planning case, Planning Case#01-08,was proposing screening for this property(as well as the two neighboring properties) at the same time that this Case was heard and the Planning Commission wanted to have the opportunity to review both Cases at the same meeting. The applicant has submitted an additional drawing for further review, illustrating additional landscaping, retaining wall locations and a section of the parking lot expansion in Phase II (Exhibit A). Please refer back to the drawings and staff memorandum provided to you in your May 2, 2001 Planning Commission meeting packet. A full Zoning Ordinance review memorandum, dated April 23, 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 Summary The Phase II parking lot expansion proposes an additional 27 parking spaces beyond the 38 spaces provided in Phase I and the 408 parking spaces that currently exist. The original PUD requested that this property have no more than 20% office when constructed but it was built with 31%office with parking to match a 20% office build out, driving the need for additional parking today. Although the office (31%)to warehouse (69%)ratio is not proposed to change for this site, Phase II proposes an additional thirty employees in the warehouse. The proposal meets all of the dimensional requirements of the G-B District, as shown in Table 1, with the exception of landscape lot area.
