AGENDA ITEMS <br />A. Concept Plan Review - Self Storage <br />City Planner Mrosla introduced the concept plan review application from IP3 AF Properties, <br />LLC for a climate controlled self-storage facility at 1780 Gateway Boulevard. <br />Adams French Property (IP3 AF Properties, LLC) Principal Jim Adams stated that Adams <br />French Property would be the developer/owner of the facility. They are based in Indianapolis and <br />build in the upper Midwest. They have recent projects in Bloomington, Roseville and Crystal. <br />They only build multi-story projects with enclosed climate controlled drive-in and drive-through <br />bays with interior loading and unloading. They build in masonry, metal panel and glass <br />depending on architectural standards. <br />Mr. Adams described the site and its challenges, specifically the fall in elevation, billboard sight <br />line, railroad easement and utility easement, along with wetlands. Creating access to the site and <br />avoiding the wetlands will also be a challenge. Conceptually there will be an industrial looking 3 <br />story building built into the terrain. In Arden Hills there is only 1.4 square feet per person of <br />storage, the industry standard is 7 square feet per person. In a three mile radius there is a 300,000 <br />square feet shortage based on market statistics.
