ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 22, 2021 6 <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe reported the new tenant has some area identified as warehouse space and <br />another portion has been identified as lab space. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott inquired if the City had different parking requirements for lab space <br />versus office or warehouse space. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe reported she spoke to the applicant regarding this matter and explained the <br />lab space as explained during the Planning Commission review would fall under Other Business <br />and Industry which required one space per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The applicant has <br />calculated the lab space as one space per 250 square feet of floor area similarly to an office layout. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott asked if either tenant would be working second and third shifts. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe deferred this question to the applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if the applicant believed all of the requested parking stalls <br />were necessary. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if the applicant had provided the City with employee numbers to <br />justify the requested parking. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe commented the applicant had not provided employee numbers to the City, <br />but rather provided the square footage calculations in order to satisfy the code requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated in the schematics that were just given to the Council this evening, it showed <br />38 dock doors on the rear of the building. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe indicated the original PUD approved 38 docks doors. She reported she has <br />not confirmed this number with the applicant. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant requested further information regarding the mezzanine level and asked how many <br />windows would be installed. <br /> <br />Dan Salzer of Scannell Properties, LLC, the applicant, stated at this time the windows were not <br />being proposed. He reported as the tenant was working through their plans, he anticipated the <br />second story windows would match the first story windows. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned what the building signage may look like. <br /> <br />Mr. Salzer reported both of his tenants were interested in signage. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if there was a way to get an estimate on the number of employees <br />tenant two would have in order to better understand the parking needs. <br />
