ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 11, 2018 7 11. 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 June 11, 2018 Report to the City Council, as amended by the following ten (10) conditions: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to the plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. A Grading and Erosion Control Permit shall be required prior to the commencement of the site modifications. 3. A Building Permit shall be required for the interior improvements and the trash enclosure. 4. A Zoning Permit shall be required for the fencing within the playground area. 5. A Sign Permit shall be required for any wall signage. 6. The existing pylon sign at the intersection of County Road F and Lexington Avenue may remain in place. The applicant shall work with staff to utilize the sign in conformance with the Sign Code. 7. The applicant shall work with Ramsey County to address the Lexington Avenue access driveway. 8. A Ramsey County Right-of-Way Permit shall be required for any work being completed in the County Road F or Lexington Avenue right-of-way. 9. A Letter of Credit in the amount of 125 percent of the cost of materials and installation of the landscaping improvements shall be provided prior to the issuance of any development permits. The Letter of Cred shall be valid for two full years from the date of installation of the landscaping improvements. 10. Before construction, grading, or land clearing begins, trees or tree areas that are to be preserved shall be visibly marked and city-approved tree protection fencing or other method shall be installed and maintained at the critical root zones of the trees to be protected. Mayor Grant asked if the pylon sign would be removed. City Planner Bachler commented the applicant would like to keep the pylon sign. Mayor Grant explained the Council discussed a potential gateway sign on this property similar to the one found on the triangle parcel with the associated landscaping. He asked if the proposed property would have enough space for a similar gateway sign. City Planner Bachler reviewed the area available for a gateway sign noting it was circular in nature and smaller than the triangle parcel which would limit the amount of landscaping that could be done. Mayor Grant stated this was a fairly prominent corner in the City and stated he did not want to see this gateway sign limited. He supported the gateway sign at this corner being 27’ x 27’.
