ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 9, 2021 16 <br /> <br />Commissioner Subramanian welcomed the new tenant. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jones agreed stating he was really happy to see this new tenant moving into the <br />City. He inquired if the City Council would approve of the exterior building materials noting he <br />supported the project as presented. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums asked how much flexibility was being requested. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Bemis explained the proposed building was set back 45 feet from the <br />property line on County Road E. She noted the applicant has a 100 foot setback from the <br />southern property line. She commented further on what City Code would require for the building <br />in order to meet City setbacks. <br /> <br />Jill Bills, U+B Architecture and Design, discussed the building width and noted half should be at <br />the front setback line, which would be 33 feet of the building façade should be at the front <br />setback. She reported the development had a large monument sign and drainage at the front <br />setback which led to the proposed building placement. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums questioned if this property met fire code requirements. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier reported this would be addressed during the building permit <br />phase. She did not anticipate this would be a problem based on the size of the building. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums inquired if the golf simulator would be open to the public. <br /> <br />Ms. Bills reported this may be possible. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums opened the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. <br /> <br />There being no comment Chair Vijums closed the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jones moved and Chair Vijums seconded a motion to recommend approval <br />of Planning Case 21-014 for a Master Planned Unit Development at 1150 County Road E, <br />based on the findings of fact based on the findings of fact and submitted plans, subject to <br />the fifteen (15) conditions in the June 9, 2021, report to the Planning Commission.
