The proposal is not expected to adversely affect the surrounding area of the community as a whole. City Planner Bachler stated the Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0) of Planning Case 18-010 for a Site Plan Review at 4061 Lexington Avenue North, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans in the May 29, 2018 Report to the City Council, as amended by the following ten (10) conditions: 1.

Councilmember Holden asked why the school would be called Primrose School of Shoreview. City Planner Bachler stated he believed the applicant was using Shoreview for marketing purposes even though it was located in Arden Hills. Councilmember McClung expressed concern with the ability to get fire trucks in and around this property. He feared the current circulation route would be problematic and inquired if this has been addressed by staff.
