ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 28, 2021 8 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant withdrew his second to the amendment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott suggested the Council focus more on the timing of Walgreens and Dunn <br />Brothers Coffee versus focusing on The Tavern Grill. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant requested the City Attorney propose language for Condition 16. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik explained the application before the Council was for an office building. <br />He recommended the lighting for this building be tied to Walgreens and that a firm time (11:00 <br />p.m.) be set on the building lighting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the Council was talking about all of the lighting or just the <br />lighting on the north side of the building. She reiterated that the lighting on the north side of the <br />building is closest to any residential development. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded <br />a motion that the added Condition 16 should read: The signage on the <br />north side of the building be on no later than 11:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott commented the sign on the building was back lit and he did not believe <br />this would be obtrusive. He did not support the City putting restrictions in place for this type of <br />lighting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated the Council didn’t have a clear understanding as to how many <br />lumens the sign would be and for this reason, she would be supporting the amendment. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant requested further information regarding the proposed sign and how it would be lit. <br /> <br />Ms. Bills explained the sign would be back lit and the letters are not translucent. She reported <br />there would be a soft glow behind the sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant supported the Council having a Condition in place to address the sign lighting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott stated without knowing the hours of operation for Walgreens or Dunn <br />Brothers he believed there would be an unfair advantage for these businesses if a time restriction <br />were placed on the applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented he supported the amendment as proposed. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. The amendment adding Condition 16 that <br />the signage on the north side of the building be on no later than 11:00 <br />p.m. carried 4-1 (Councilmember Scott opposed). <br /> <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. The motion to approve Planning Case 21-014 for a <br />Master Planned Unit Development at 1150 County Road E, based on the <br />findings of fact and submitted plans, and the proposed fifteen (15) conditions
