ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – April 7, 2021 14 <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier explained the building address was 3787 Lexington Avenue. She <br />reported there was an existing building that may have some current tenants and the intent was to <br />remove this building and the tenants would be relocated. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber stated he supported the project, but noted he did have some concerns <br />regarding the lack of parking. He feared parking would become a concern around the holidays or <br />on the weekends. He questioned if the building could move closer to the County right-of-way. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier reported the County had reviewed the plans and did not have any <br />concerns. Further discussion ensued regarding access to the site and building placement. <br /> <br />Dan Ray, Kensington Development Partners, thanked the Planning Commission and staff for <br />reviewing his request. He explained the retailer has a parking requirement of four (4) per 1,000 <br />square feet. He indicated currently he was meeting this requirement. He reported the building <br />would have food prep space that would take away from the retail area. He noted he has been in <br />contact with Arby’s and Big O Tire’s and neither facility was interested in cost sharing for a <br />cross access. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wicklund asked what the guarantee was that the County would install the traffic <br />signal in 2022. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier explained the County was very confident this project would <br />happen in 2022. She noted the plans were approved (at 90%). She indicated the applicant has <br />many of the same concerns. She reported the City Council would consider this request next <br />week and the City would be entering into an MOU with the County. She commented a second <br />MOU would also be put in place that should the project be delayed, the City can authorize the <br />developer to install a temporary signal at the developer’s cost. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums stated he believed this was a great development. He was eager to learn what <br />grocer would be coming to the City of Arden Hills. He indicated he was not concerned about the <br />parking. He agreed that the traffic signal was a must for this development. He requested further <br />information regarding the proposed monument and wall signs. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier reviewed the size and scale of the proposed signs. She noted the <br />monument sign would be 20 feet in height and would have 171 square feet of sign area. She <br />commented the wall signs were a new flexibility. She reported in 2012, Cub Foods received <br />approval of 800 square foot of signage on the site. She noted the applicant was requesting 532 <br />square feet, which was significantly less than was approved for Cub Foods. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums asked why the applicant was nearly doubling the amount of signage on the <br />property. <br /> <br />Mr. Pommeroy stated he was proposing to have three signs, two 90 square foot signs and one <br />180 square foot sign. He explained the 180 square foot sign would be above the main entry. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums commented going forward, the City should take a look at its sign code. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums opened the public hearing at 8:52 p.m.
