City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for September 28, 2020 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-010 4200 Round Lake Road PP PUD\CC Packets Page 3 of 9 Proposed Lots Total Acres Use Lot 1 21.94 Development Parcel Lot 2 3.87 Access drive serving Lot 1 and future development on Lot 2 B. Easements and Right of Way The Subject Parcel requires several easements as part of this proposal. The Subject Property is encumbered by existing sightline easements with Clear Channel for two (2) billboards and an overhead power line easement. In addition, the site has existing wetlands located adjacent to 35W and 694 that require drainage and utility easements be placed over the wetlands. The subdivision ordinance requires streets serving commercial and industrial areas to have a right of way (ROW) width of 70 feet. As part of the platting process the Applicant is required to dedicate approximately .41 acres or approximately 17,860 square feet of ROW along Gateway Boulevard to the City. This dedication of ROW impacted parking lot setbacks. The GB zoning district requires a 50 foot setback from public streets. The applicant was requesting a 30 foot parking lot setback from Gateway Boulevard and due to the required ROW dedication, the Applicant is now requesting a 20 foot setback to the parking area on the north side of the subject parcel. However, several properties along Round Lake Road and Gateway Boulevard have similar or greater reduction in parking lot setbacks. C. Required Improvements All other required improvements, including sewer, water, utilities, and driveway connections to Gateway Boulevard will be constructed in accordance with the City’s Subdivision Code. As a condition of approval, engineering staff shall review and approve final utility and grading plans prior to the issuance of a grading and erosion permit.
