<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for November 8, 2017 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-024 - PUD Amendment - Arden Square - 1160 County Road E\Memos_Reports_17-024 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />Traffic Circulation – Meets Requirements <br />Site plans must be designed to avoid hazards to vehicular or pedestrian circulation. The proposed <br />modifications are largely consistent with the previously approved site plan. Some improvements, <br />such as the addition of diagonal parking on the west side of the site, would likely improve <br />vehicular and pedestrian safety. <br /> <br />Section 1325.05 Subd. 8 – B-2 District Design Standards <br /> <br />The standards in this section only apply to site elements being developed or altered. <br /> <br />Parking – Meets Requirements <br />The Zoning Code requires plantings to be used to shade parking lots and provide screening from <br />adjacent public streets. The parking lot island that would be shifted east to accommodate the <br />drive-thru lane would be replanted with one tree and perennials. There are a number of existing <br />deciduous trees around the perimeter of the site that provide shading and screening. <br /> <br />Section 1325.55 – Tree Preservation <br /> <br />The Landscape Plan indicates two significant Basswood trees on the southern property line <br />would be replaced with two Crabapple trees for sight line improvements. The Tree Preservation <br />Ordinance requires replacement plantings when more than 10 percent of the total caliper inches <br />of significant trees are removed. There are 41 caliper inches of significant trees on the site and <br />the allowed removal is 4.1 caliper inches. The two Basswood trees are a combined 21 caliper <br />inches. After subtracting the allowed removal, 16.9 caliper inches must be replaced at a ratio of 1 <br />caliper inch for every 2 caliper inches removed. In this case, the mitigation requirement is 8.5 <br />caliper inches. The two Crabapple trees would total 4 caliper inches. As a condition of approval <br />staff recommends the applicant be required to provide 8.5 caliper inches of trees on the site. <br /> <br /> Caliper <br />Inches <br />Number of <br />Trees <br />Existing Significant Trees 41 4 <br />10% Permitted Removal 4.1 -- <br />Proposed Removal 21 2 <br />Replacement Tress Required 8.5 -- <br />Proposed Tree Plantings 4 2 <br /> <br />Section 1325.06 – Requirements for Parking, Loading and Circulation <br /> <br />Area and Dimensions of Each Parking Space – Meets Requirements <br />The Zoning Code requires individual parking stalls to be at least 9 feet in width and 18 feet in <br />length. All parking stalls shown on the Site Plan conform to this standard. <br /> <br /> <br />
