2016 Land Use Application <br />Property: Land O’Lakes; 4001 Lexington Avenue North <br />Type of Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment <br /> <br />Brief Description of Request <br />Land O’Lakes intends to consolidate their Arden Hills and Shoreview locations into one campus <br />Headquarters at their existing Arden Hills property. The consolidation will include construction <br />of a new four-story corporate office building of approximately 155,000 gross floor area and <br />related site improvements. Land O'Lakes is requesting an amendment to the approved Planned <br />Unit Development for the site to allow for an increased elevator overhead height from 14'-8" to <br />18'-0". This would be a 3’-4” increase from the previously approved overhead height for an <br />elevator penthouse footprint of 600 square feet (nominally 21’x29’) <br />The need to request an increase to the elevator height is as follows: <br />1. As the base mechanical heating system evolved, the boilers were shifted from the <br />basement level to the roof level. This simplified the piping design and ultimately <br />provides for a more efficient heating system. With the added heavy equipment located <br />in a penthouse on the roof level, the cab classification needed to be increased from a <br />Class A to a Class C3 elevator. <br />2. With upgrading the elevator to a Class C3 elevator, this allows the Owner to bring <br />heavier equipment to the roof in the case of an equipment failure. A Class C3 elevator <br />can allow for heavier loads from 3500# in a Class A to 5000# plus a pallet jack with a <br />Class C3. This allows the boilers to be serviced or replaced if necessary through the <br />elevator and not a crane with an oversized roof hatch. <br />3. The Owner looked at using a fully custom engineered elevator that could be designed to <br />fit within the 14’-8” overhead height but that change would not fit within the current <br />project schedule since it would require a deeper elevator pit and result in a considerably <br />longer fabrication time. <br />4. The manufacturer of the elevator with the taller overhead height is also the same <br />elevator manufacturer for the other Land O’Lakes buildings on campus so there is <br />greater efficiency for servicing and maintenance for Land O’Lakes in the future. <br /> <br />
