ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – DECEMBER 21, 2020 4 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned if the applicant was aware that a grocery proposal was <br />submitted at the PACE location. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported this has been discussed with <br />the applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes commented the proposed building exterior was not quite the same as <br />the other two phases of Lexington Station. She stated she would like to see more brick used on the <br />building. <br /> <br />Josh Warren, NORR Architects, explained the brick on the bottom of the building was selected <br />to match Phases 1 and 2 of Lexington Station. He noted the other building materials were <br />selected to address the tenants’ needs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden expressed concern with the fact the applicant was proposing to use <br />brick veneer. She noted this was not allowed in Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Mr. Rea reported he was proposing to use traditional masonry brick and not a brick veneer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned if the Council would be receiving material boards for this <br />project. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated the applicant would be <br />providing this to the City. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the proposed signage and signage building materials. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the applicant would be providing the City with a lighting plan. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported this would be required by <br />the applicant if the plan were to move forward. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott inquired if the requested sign was similar to the Cub Foods sign. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla noted Cub received sign flexibility in <br />2012. He reported Cub has 678 square feet of signage on the front elevation. The square footage <br />of Cub was discussed and compared to the proposed development. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if the Council supported the parking variance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott stated he was not concerned with the parking variance and noted he could <br />support the number of requested parking spaces. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned how the number of parking stalls was developed by the <br />applicant. <br />
