ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 22, 2020 16 parcels that total approximately 43 acres. The northern parcel which is 21.52 acres in size contains the access road off of Pine Tree Drive and the majority of the surface parking. The center parcel which is 19.16 acres in size contains an existing 181,432 square foot office building and a small fraction of the surface parking. The remaining undeveloped parcel to the south is 2.43 acres in size and is made up of mainly woodlands and wetlands. The Applicant is proposing to subdivide the northern parcel into two (2) new lots and consolidate the center parcel and the remaining southern exception parcel into one lot of record. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented it is important to note that the current platting process is not associated with any specific development on the site. However, the Lake Johanna Fire Department is in the due diligence process to acquire the lot adjacent to Pine Tree Drive for a future fire station. This application only pertains to Bethel’s request to divide the land and not future development projects.
