2609 Aldrich Ave. S. Suite 100 Minneapolis, MN 55408 t 612.870.2538 www.uplusb.com <br />supports a reduction in noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid <br />waste, and other nuisance characteristics of businesses that promote frequent vehicle visits, stops and <br />continuous turnover that is characteristic of most other businesses in the development. At 5,600 <br />square feet of building area, the parking required by the zoning code would be 23 stalls (1 per 250 <br />square feet of gross building area). The proposed site plan provides 20 stalls, with proof of parking for <br />an additional 3 stalls indicated. These 3 stalls could be added in the future by reconfiguring the <br />southwest corner of the site and parking lot. <br /> <br />A permit application for drainage and site work has been submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed <br />District for review. Site work for the JAB Real Estate development for LLW meets or exceeds all <br />requirements for storm water management by honoring the existing on-site bio-filtration basin on the <br />north side of the site (Basin #4) and supplementing further development of the site with an additional <br />rate-control basin at the southwest corner of the site. The new proposed parking lot will be managed <br />with the new rate control basin in the southwest corner that will route to the exiting Bio-Retention Basin <br />south of the property (Basin #2). <br /> <br />Population density will not be affected by the development of the LLW office facility. <br /> <br />The proposed development will have visual compatibility with surrounding structures with the use of <br />stone veneer, decorative cement panel products and glass. The proposed development will have land <br />use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land by bringing additional patronage to the <br />surrounding businesses with the addition of 12 full-time employees to Arden Plaza every day as well <br />as clientele who care about investment in communities. <br /> <br />The proposed development will have positive effect on adjoining land values through the use of <br />desirable and professionally detailed materials that elevate or complement the visual impact of <br />adjacent properties. <br /> <br />Finally, the proposed development promotes and protects the orderly development of the <br />neighborhood and the city within the general purpose and intent of the Arden Hills Zoning Code and <br />the Comprehensive Plan for the City. It does this by being in conformance with the guiding principals <br />of the B-2 District within the Zoning Code as well as in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive <br />Plan. The Master PUD agreement allows flexibility within the City’s regulations through a negotiated <br />process with the developer. <br /> <br />Flexibility requested includes: <br /> <br />1. Parking: 20 stalls proposed (with proof of parking indicated for an additional 3 stalls to <br />meet the zoning-required total of 23 stalls). <br /> <br />2. Front Setback Line: Per 1325.05 Design Standards Subd 8 Paragraph E, at least 50% of <br />the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line. Site <br />constraints are such that this is not feasible. <br />
