ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — OCTOBER 31, 2016 9 Jordan Fleischman, MedExpress, reported the simulated brick panels were much easier to replace and handled moisture better. He provided a simulated brick panel for the Council to review. Councilmember Holden questioned if the bell tower would be lit in the evening hours. Councilmember Holmes explained the north elevation would not have any lighting. She stated the City may want to have the bell towers lit to make the building look open and viable. Councilmember Holden recommended the north tower be dimmed or be turned off by 11:00 p.m. so as not to interfere with the EStreet Flats apartment building on the north side of County Road E. Mr. Fleishman explained the towers would be turned off overnight. Mayor Grant suggested this recommendation be included in the motion along with the hours of operation. Councilmember Holmes stated she supported the signage as requested. Mayor Grant recommended that Walgreens be made aware of the new MedExpress building. MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 16-024 for a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Phase II of the Arden Plaza Master PUD at 1150 County Road E West, based on the findings of fact and submitted plans, as amended by the seventeen conditions in the October 31, 2016, Report to the City Council. Councilmember Holden recommended a condition be added requiring the applicant to have a sidewalk along the property line to the Red Cross/stop sign. Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the location of the existing sidewalk along with the proposed sidewalk segment. He noted there may not be enough width to fit a sidewalk at this location. Councilmember Holden questioned why the City required the Red Cross to complete a sidewalk segment when there could be no connection. Further discussion ensued regarding the sidewalk connection. Mayor Grant recommended the sidewalk only be required if the sidewalk was feasible. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded an amendment requiring the applicant to install a sidewalk along the property line to the Red Cross/stop sign. Councilmember Wicklund stated he would not support the amendment.
