<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for February 3, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-004 - Boston Scientific - Site Plan Review\Memos_Reports_16-004 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 9 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: February 3, 2016 PC Agenda Item 3.A <br /> <br />TO: Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #16-004 – No Public Hearing Required <br /> Applicant: Boston Scientific Corporation <br /> Property Location: 4100 Hamline Avenue North <br /> Request: Site Plan Review – Skyway Connection and Parking Lot Modification <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Boston Scientific has requested a Site Plan Review to construct a skyway between Buildings 3 <br />and 10 on their campus. The proposal includes minor modifications to the parking lot on the <br />north side of Building 10 to accommodate the construction of the skyway. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The Boston Scientific campus at 4100 Hamline Avenue North operates under a Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) that was originally approved in 2002 for the Guidant Corporation. The last <br />comprehensive update to the PUD and Campus Master Plan took place in 2015 when the City <br />approved a subdivision of the property to help facilitate the sale of Buildings A, B, and C located <br />in the southwest corner of the campus (Planning Case 15-001). The Campus Master Plan was <br />revised at this time to make adjustments to the location of future buildings and parking ramps so <br />that the two new lots could function independently. Lot 1 includes Buildings A, B, and C and a <br />parking ramp and is currently being marketed to potential buyers. Lot 2 will continue to function <br />as the Boston Scientific campus. <br /> <br />New building construction or site modifications identified on the approved Campus Master Plan <br />require the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior to construction. The Master Plan <br />shows a skyway between Buildings 3 and 10 connecting through the future Buildings J and M <br />(Attachment D). The proposed skyway is generally aligned with what is shown on the Master <br />Plan. The required modifications to the parking lot on the north side of Building 10 are <br />consistent with the Master Plan, which indicates this surface parking lot will eventually be
