<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for July 10, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 - Summit Development - PUD, CPA, RZ, PP, FP <br />Page 13 of 19 <br />Park Improvements <br />In return for allowing the land swap the Applicant is proposing to construct an 8-foot-wide <br />bituminous trail with senior oriented workout stations. The Applicant is proposing five (5) to six <br />(6) workouts stations. Each station will have senior oriented fitness equipment. The Applicant is <br />proposing exercise equipment where the user remains seated as well as including accessible <br />exercise options. The proposed equipment will be designed for all weather conditions. The <br />equipment is designed for sitting related exercises and is safe for most users. The graphic below is <br />shows where the proposed trails and exercise stations are located. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Lake Johanna Fire Department is requiring a fire lane to access the south side of the building. <br />The fire lane starts just to the west of the main entrance off the cul-de-sac. The fire lane access is <br />20 feet wide and has a surmountable curb. It is intended to serve a double purpose as both an access <br />road and a public trail. To make the fire lane more of an amenity, the Applicant is proposing to <br />paint shuffleboard courts as shown on the image above. Signage will be placed at the start of the <br />fire lane delineating it from the building access drive. <br /> <br />Aesthetics - Section 1325.05, Subd. 6 <br />The Zoning Code does not have specific guidelines for building materials and design for the R-4 <br />Zoning District. Section 1325.05, Subd. 6 of the Zoning Code states that the Planning Commission <br />and City Council should evaluate the proposed design, scale, massing, materials, height, and other <br />aspects of the proposed structure with respect to structures and properties in the surrounding area. <br />The City should also consider if the appearance of a proposed structure would cause substantial <br />depreciation in the property values in the surrounding area or unreasonably detract from the <br />appearance of the area.
