ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – April 6, 2016 11 8. No certificate of occupancy will be issued or remain in effect for tenant or business space using the existing drive-up window on the west side of the building for a fast food restaurant use. In the event that the Developer or subsequent owner sells or leases building space or otherwise proposes to use the drive-up window on the west side of the building for a fast food restaurant use, the Developer or subsequent owner shall submit a PUD Amendment application proposing modifications to the Site Plan that provides the minimum vehicle stacking spaces required as specified by the City Code, conform to the additional minimum requirements included in Section 1325.04 of the City Code, and satisfies any conditions of approval imposed by the Council. 9. The proposed monument sign on County Road E shall be redesigned so that it conforms to the freestanding sign standards for Sign District 4, as defined in Section 1240.02 of the City Code. 10. A Sign Permit shall be required for the monument sign on County Road E. Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval without Conditions 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Jones requested further information on the adjustments that were being made to the stormwater management system for the site. Senior Planner Bachler discussed the existing and proposed stormwater management system for the site. It was noted that the new system would better manage stormwater runoff for the property. Commissioner Lambeth commented on the demolition plan for the site. He recommended the grade of the site be watched closely in order for the water to drain properly from the south side of the building. Senior Planner Bachler noted that a separate grading and erosion control permit would be required from the City. This permit would be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. Commissioner Lambeth respected staff’s recommendation regarding the monument sign. However, he questioned if the location of the monument sign was proper. He proposed the sign be located at the northwest corner of the site. Senior Planner Bachler recommended that the applicant address the proposed location of the monument sign. He noted that the proposed location did conform to the Sign Code requirements for monument sign setbacks from the front and side property lines. Commissioner Jones agreed it would be safer for vehicular traffic to have the sign more centrally located.
