ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – February 3, 2016 3 9. Boston Scientific has accounted for these removed stalls with an additional 26 “proof of parking” spaces in the Campus Parking Plan. 10. The proposal is not expected to adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole. Senior Planner Bachler stated that based on the submitted plans and findings of fact, staff recommends approval of Planning Case 16-004 for a Site Plan Review to construct a skyway between Buildings 3 and 10 and complete minor modifications to the parking lot on the north side of Building 10 at 4100 Hamline Avenue North. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of this request, staff recommends that the following twelve (12) conditions be included with the approval: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. The applicant shall continue to abide by all previous Development Agreements, Master PUD approvals, and subsequent PUD Amendment approvals. 3. All necessary City permits for the construction of the skyway and modifications to the parking lot on the north side of Building 10 shall be obtained by September 1, 2017, or an extension request shall be submitted in writing to the City at least forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration date. 4. Final construction plans shall be subject to approval by the City Building Official, City Engineer, and Fire Marshall prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. 5. Final grading, drainage, and utility plans shall be subject to approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of a Grading and Erosion Control Permit. 6. The existing temporary at-grade enclosed pedestrian walkway between Buildings 3 and 10 shall be removed within sixty (60) days of the skyway connection receiving final approval by the City Building Official. 7. The applicant shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125% of the estimated costs of landscaping prior to the issuance of any development permits. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit issued by a FDIC-insured Minnesota bank. The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that landscaping is completed in the event that the Developer defaults on this Agreement. The City will hold the letter of credit for two years after the installation of landscaping. The letter of credit should not expire during the two-year period. 8. A Site Plan Review application, including a Landscaping Plan, is required for the modification of the parking area along the Lot 1 and Lot 2 property boundary line and shall be submitted within ninety (90) days of the sale of Lot 1 by Boston Scientific, or an extension request shall be submitted in writing to the City at least forty-five (45) days prior to that date. 9.
