ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 9 existing stormwater facilities prior to and during construction activities. Maintenance of any and all temporary stormwater facilities shall be the responsibility of the Applicant. 24. Prior to the issuance of the Grading and Erosion permit, the Engineering Department shall review and approve final grading and utility plans in writing. Plans shall be amended to include detail drawings for connection to the sanitary sewer system in Gateway Boulevard, restoration of utility cuts within public streets, and inclusion of City details 3401, 3402, 3408, and 4000. 25. Any future trash enclosures shall utilize wooden gates and be constructed on three sides using the same materials and patterns used on the building. Locations shall be approved by the Planning Department. 26. The Applicant shall provide an executed copy of the City’s standard stormwater maintenance and easement agreement prior to approval of the Development Agreement. 27. All disturbed boulevards shall be restored with sod. 28. All areas of the site, where practical, shall be sodded or seeded and maintained. The property owner shall mow and maintain all site boulevards to the curb line of the public streets. 29. Overnight trailer parking is prohibited onsite other than along the dock wall within the concrete dock apron. 30. The Applicant shall work with Ramsey County to add five (5) seconds to the signal timing for Round Lake Road and Hwy 96 to allow for more northbound left turns during the PM peak hour prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. 31. Warehousing and wholesaling shall not exceed 85 percent of the floor area tenant. The remaining 15 percent of floor area shall be non-warehouse uses such as a combination of uses including-but-not-limited-to office, manufacturing, production, research and development, lab and/or showroom per tenant. Councilmember Holden stated she would like further information from staff regarding each of the flexibility requests being made by the Applicant. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained the Applicant was requesting lot area flexibility and FAR flexibility in order to have 85% of the building be used for warehousing/wholesaling with 15% to be used for non-warehouse uses such as office. Councilmember Holden asked how R&D/lab space was different than an office. She explained she would like the remaining 15% of the building used for office space and not for R&D/labs. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated the Applicant was requesting the flexibility to use the remaining 15% for office, R&D or lab space. Councilmember Holden stated she had an issue with this. Councilmember McClung commented the zoning code would not allow for more than 75% of the building to be used for warehousing/wholesaling. He explained the Applicant does not have any tenants signed up for the space, which meant the Applicant was seeking flexibility for 10% of the space without any basis for the need.
