ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 22, 2021 3 <br /> <br />9. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Resolution 2021-066 – Site Plan Review – 4200 Round Lake Road (Scannell <br />Properties) – PC 21-025 <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe stated Scannell Properties was approved Resolution 2020-045 for a <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP) subject to 35 conditions on October 12, 2020 that was part of a <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the subject property in order to operate an office and <br />warehouse facility. The approximate 21 acre site is located south of the cul-de-sac on Gateway <br />Boulevard and north of Interstate 694 and east of 35W. The Subject Property had been vacant <br />since 2006 with wetlands located adjacent to Interstates (“35W and 694”). <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe explained the site is highly visible from 694 and 35W. Separate access points <br />to the site are provided via Gateway Boulevard for employee parking and deliveries. The site <br />development will include office space, warehousing, ground level unloading access with 38 dock <br />doors located on the north side of the building, and at-grade office parking lots located on the <br />south side of the building. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe reported one of the conditions from Resolution 2020-045 stated “Site Plan <br />approval shall be required for the construction of the proof of parking area”. This proof of parking <br />area was shown on Site Exhibit EX-1 (Exhibit D) as part of the PUD Review. The Applicant has a <br />prospective tenant that will occupy 2/3rd’s of the building which also necessitates the need for <br />construction of this future parking area. Therefore, the Applicant is pursuing the Site Plan Review <br />for expansion of the parking area. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe reviewed the Plan Evaluation in further detail with the Council and offered <br />the following Findings of Fact: <br /> <br />1. The Applicant has submitted an application for Site Plan Review to construct additional <br />parking previously identified as “proof of parking” at the subject property 4200 Round <br />Lake Road. <br />2. The Subject Property is located with the Gateway Business (“GB”) District and is guided <br />as Light Industrial & Office on the 2040 Land Use Plan. <br />3. The Applicant operates under a Master Planned Unit Development and has been approved <br />for construction of a 250,000 square foot office and warehouse facility on the Subject <br />Property. <br />4. Flexibility through the PUD process was granted in the following areas: parking setbacks, <br />minimum caliper inches, and perennials and shrubberies. <br />5. The proposed plan does not conflict with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning <br />Code or the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. <br />6. The application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the <br />community as a whole. <br />7. The proposed plan will not produce any permanent noise, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air <br />pollution, heat, liquid, or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics. <br />8. The proposed plan is not anticipated to have any impact on traffic or parking conditions. <br />9. The accessory off-street parking would be in compliance with all provisions of the Zoning <br />Code.
