City of Arden Hills P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\Concepts\Lexington Station 3 Page 7 of 8 restricting left turn movements. The proposed access in the Big O Tires and Arby’s site would become a south bound right in and right out. The City is generally not in a position to remove access from the Big O Tires and Arby’s site to benefit the proposed development, and because of that, staff requested the Applicant to consider adding an access from Lexington Station third addition into the Big O/Arby’s site. However, the proposed access into the Big O Tires and Arby’s site becomes moot if the County moves forward with the Lexington Avenue project as they have the authority to revoke the full access into the Big O Tires and Arby’s site. City staff has noted concerns with the design of the proposed site access drive in relation to the overall site layout. The layout provides limited vehicle staking distance at the eastbound approach to the signal. During peak traffic periods, exiting vehicles could potentially stack along the east side of the proposed building while waiting for a green signal phase. The site traffic study currently underway will evaluate the current access design and potential site design modifications. The final site layout may change due to recommendations made by the traffic study. Approvals required The proposed land use application would require the following approvals: • Site Plan Review • An Amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required due to modified site plan. In addition, a PUD would be use for performance standard flexibility (at a minimum, wall sign, parking lot setbacks and parking stall requirements). The table below provides the performance standards for the B-3 District and the preliminary analysis for the proposed development: Ordinance Requirements B-3 District Standards Proposed Development Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) 0.8 Approx. 0.23 Maximum Structure Coverage 40% 23% Minimum Landscape Lot Area 25% Unknown Minimum Front Yard Setback 50 ft. 140.5 ft.
