<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for April 3, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-001 Brausen – Final PUD\Memos Reports <br />Page 7 of 11 <br />2. Design Standards – Section 1325.05 Subd. 8 <br /> <br />Building Materials –Flexibility Requested <br />For new development, redevelopment, or modifications in the B-2 District, at least 75 percent of <br />the exterior building materials shall be of brick masonry, tile masonry, natural stone (or synthetic <br />equivalent), decorative concrete plank, transparent glass or any combination thereof. <br /> <br />Flexibility in exterior building materials is requested to better incorporate the addition into the <br />existing garage structure. Based on the submitted site plan, 59 percent of the building exterior <br />will be comprised of materials required by the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />The east and south sides of the building are proposed to include concrete block in various <br />patterns and colors to match the existing repair garage. The east and south sides of the building <br />are the least visible to the public. The south side of the building faces a wooded landscaped area <br />belonging to Bethel University. The east side of the building faces neighboring businesses. <br />However, the majority of the existing tree screening/buffer between the site and the eastern <br />neighbor will be maintained, minimizing the appearance of the building. <br /> <br />The two most visible sides of the building, the north and west, have proposed exterior materials <br />that to comply with the 75 percent exterior building materials requirement. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
