ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – OCTOBER 11, 2021 6 <br /> <br />22. The Applicant shall provide an agreement for shared management and maintenance of the <br />site access, parking areas, landscaping, snow removal and common areas for the City <br />Attorney to review and for the City Council’s approval prior to the approval of the Master <br />PUD Development Agreement. <br />23. The proposed structures shall conform to all other regulations in the City Code. <br />24. The Applicant shall provide a copy of the Stormwater Management Report and <br />verification of Rice Creek Watershed approval prior to the approval of Development <br />Agreement. <br />25. The Property Owner shall provide evidence of or obtain an ingress/egress easement for use <br />of the western access located on 3728 Dunlap Street. <br />26. The sidewalk width along Grey Fox Road shall be increased from five feet to six feet. <br />27. The Applicant shall reconfigure the site layout between the number of off-street parking <br />spaces and ratio of landscaping. <br />28. The Applicant shall meet transparency requirements for the outparcel building on the <br />Lexington Avenue elevation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden reported the applicant has three pages of flexibility requests for the <br />Council to consider for this project. She explained she could not support this project unless there <br />were some major changes. She discussed the landscaping standards that were in place and <br />expressed concern with how large this building was for the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes indicated she was also concerned with the number of the variances that <br />were being requested. She reported the Aldi building was not the concern. She stated she was <br />having trouble with the two tenant building. She commented at this time she would have a hard <br />time supporting this request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott explained the PUD process allows the City to effectively negotiate with <br />the applicant these flexibility requests. He stated the City has had similar requests from other <br />developments in the community. He asked if the proposed building materials were the same as <br />those used in other communities. <br /> <br />Ryan Anderson, ISG and Aldi representative, reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes noted she visited the two newest Aldi’s in Roseville. She believed that <br />the proposed building façade was different from these two buildings. She indicated the brick was <br />different and the stand alone building on Cleveland Avenue had a lot more windows with outdoor <br />seating. <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson explained from an engineering standpoint the buildings were similar. He noted <br />the brick has multiple color schemes and indicated this was the preferred color. He reported the <br />brick color was not a sticking point and could be modified. He stated the building in Roseville <br />was unique and did have more windows because it was an interior facing building. He commented <br />the Arden Hills Aldi would have and outdoor patio with seating. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes feared that some of the responses from Mr. Anderson were simplistic in <br />nature. She requested Mr. Anderson provide the Council with more detail when responding to <br />questions.
