<br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for November 14, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-031 - Land O'Lakes - PUD Amendment\Memos_Reports_16-031 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Overview of Request <br /> <br />Land O’Lakes has begun construction on the new office building and has determined that a <br />different type of elevator is needed to service the building. The final mechanical design for the <br />building will use roof top mounted boilers to provide a more efficient heating system. To service <br />and replace the roof top boilers, an upgraded elevator is required. As a result, the enclosure on <br />the roof for the elevator equipment would require a taller overhead height. The proposed <br />enclosure would have a height of 18 feet, or 3 feet – 4 inches taller than what was previously <br />approved by the City Council. The footprint of the elevator extrusion would measure <br />approximately 21 feet by 29 feet for an overall area of 609 square feet. This 609 square feet <br />enclosure would house the elevator, a staircase and the roof top boilers. <br /> <br />Land O’Lakes has requested a PUD Amendment to allow for this additional height for the <br />elevator enclosure. The applicant has provided an overview on why the change is needed, <br />graphic renderings showing the view of the office building from County Road F, and a revised <br />building elevation plan (Attachments A and B). <br /> <br />Section 1355.06 Subd. 4 of the Arden Hills City Code states that any structural alteration to an <br />approved PUD not specially permitted shall require City Council action. When these changes are <br />deemed to be minor, the requirements of a public hearing may be waived by the City Council. In <br />this case, staff is recommending that the City Council review the proposed PUD Amendment <br />without requiring a public hearing by the Planning Commission. If the City Council determines a <br />public hearing should be held, this case would be referred to the Planning Commission at their <br />next regular meeting. <br /> <br />Findings of Fact: <br /> <br />Staff offers the following eight (8) findings of fact for this proposal: <br /> <br />1. The City approved a Final PUD for Phase 2 of the Land O’Lakes campus expansion plan <br />at 4001 Lexington Avenue North on July 25, 2016 in Planning Case 16-016. <br />2. As part of the Final PUD approval, the City approved a maximum height of 14 feet – 8 <br />inches for roof-mounted mechanical equipment on the new office building. <br />3. Section 1325.03, Subd. 3(B) of the Zoning Code excepts roof-mounted mechanical <br />equipment from the Zoning Code height limitations if the enclosure does not extend more <br />than 12 feet above the roof upon which it is located. <br />4. The applicant has requested a PUD Amendment in order to allow for the elevator <br />enclosure on the roof to extend 18 feet above the roof line. <br />5. The footprint of the elevator extrusion would measure approximately 21 feet by 29 feet <br />for an overall area of 609 square feet. <br />6. A screen along the roof line will match the color of the building and largely screen the <br />enclosure from public view. <br />7. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City’s Zoning Code, flexibility has been <br />requested by the applicant.
