ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2018 12 <br /> City Planner Bachler reported he had provided the site plan to the Fire Marshall and noted staff <br /> had not received any comments or concerns to date. He reported the plans would be further <br /> reviewed by staff and the Lake Johanna Fire Department when the applicant applies for a <br /> building permit. <br /> Mayor Grant invited the applicant to come forward. <br /> Josh McKinney, Sambatek, reported he would be more than willing to work with staff to ensure <br /> that the site had proper fire access. He addressed the sign question noting the applicant had done <br /> some market research and would prefer to have Shoreview on the sign versus Arden Hills for <br /> name recognition purposes. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she was disturbed by the fact the sign would be labeled <br /> Shoreview and not Arden Hills. <br /> Mayor Grant commented the City could not require the applicant to place specific words on <br /> their sign, but he agreed this was an unfortunate situation. <br /> Councilmember Scott indicated the City operates one of its voting precincts in Shoreview. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated it was not out of the ordinary for businesses to have a name for <br /> recognition purposes. <br /> Councilmember McClung explained the sign was insulting to the City of Arden Hills and <br /> reported he may now support a gateway sign at this corner. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned if the City could ask for an easement for a gateway sign. <br /> City Attorney Jamnik reported the City could ask for an easement for a gateway sign. <br /> Mayor Grant anticipated Boston Scientific and Land O'Lakes would support a gateway sign at <br /> this corner. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br /> motion to approve Planning Case 18-010 for a Site Plan Review at 4061 <br /> Lexington Avenue North, based on the findings of fact and the submitted <br /> plans, as amended by the ten (10) conditions in the May 29, 2018 Report to <br /> the City Council. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the proposed signage for Primrose School of Shoreview. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned if the Primrose School property had right-of-way available for a <br /> gateway sign. <br />
