ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – APRIL 5, 2017 8 Senior Planner Bachler discussed the location of the monument sign noting it would be at the more easterly driveway access, on the western side of the driveway. Commissioner Gehrig asked how many tenants would be using the monument sign. Senior Planner Bachler reported the building could have up to 12 tenants. Chair Thompson questioned where signage would be located and how traffic would flow for Phase 3 of this development. Senior Planner Bachler discussed the approved PUD for Lexington Station and commented on the location of the Phase 1 monument sign, along with the proposed locations of the Phase 2 and Phase 3 monument signs. He explained the existing Lexington Avenue driveway access would be removed during Phase 3 of the development and replaced with a new driveway in alignment with the Target service road. Commissioner Jones requested the Phase 3 monument sign be smaller in size. Chair Thompson asked that the applicant come forward at this time. Nicholas Roberts, Roberts Management Group, thanked the Commission for their time and consideration. He commented on the proposed PUD for Phase 2 of Lexington Station. Chair Thompson questioned what type of tenants would be occupying Phase 2. Mr. Roberts anticipated this portion of the development would house quick serve food, chiropractor, cell phone and retail tenants. Commissioner Jones asked if the tenants within the building that will be redeveloped for Phase 3 would be encouraged to move into the Phase 2 building. Mr. Roberts indicated he would be contacting these businesses to discuss this opportunity. Commissioner Jones stated he would love to see a stop light at the new intersection on Lexington Avenue. Chair Thompson inquired if the applicant supported removal of several parking spaces in the southwest corner of the site in order to improve fire access. Mr. Roberts commented he supported this recommendation from staff. Chair Thompson requested further information on how delivery trucks would flow through the site. Mr. Roberts described how delivery trucks would flow through Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the property.
