ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 9, 2018 13 <br /> <br />Commissioner Jones stated he would rather leave the pylon sign in place versus having a <br />monument sign. He feared that the monument sign would block sight lines for those traveling on <br />Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />Chair Thompson moved and Commissioner Zimmerman seconded a motion to recommend <br />approval of Planning Case 18-010 for a Site Plan Review at 4061 Lexington Avenue based <br />on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the ten (10) revised <br />conditions in the May 9, 2018, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried <br />unanimously (4-0). <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A. Report from the City Council <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott updated the Planning Commission on City Council activities from the <br />April 9, 2018 City Council Regular Meeting, stating the City Council voted to approve (5-0) <br />Planning Case 18-004 for a Preliminary and Final Plat for the TCAAP redevelopment site. The <br />purpose of the plat is to define an accurate boundary of the property and to simplify the current <br />legal description. Several large road and infrastructure projects have recently been completed on <br />or adjacent to the property and the platting process will allow for the transfer of these portions of <br />the property to public agencies. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott updated the Planning Commission on City Council activities from the <br />April 23, 2018 City Council Regular Meeting, stating the City Council considered the <br />recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission for the adoption of the draft 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. The City Council voted to table the request to release the draft plan for <br />review by adjacent communities and affected government entities to allow for further discussion <br />regarding the land use section of the plan at the Work Session on May 21, 2018. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott noted the Scoops for Troops event was held on Sunday, April 29th. He <br />reported City Administrator Dave Perrault participated in the 5K race. He provided the <br />Commission with an update on development occurring in and around Arden Hills. <br /> <br />B.
