ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 22, 2021 8 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned how many trees the property would be short, based on the <br />original agreement that was in place with the City. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe indicated the original PUD approved 410 caliper inches or 141 trees. She <br />noted for the Site Plan Review the applicant was requesting flexibility with 423 caliper inches or <br />137 trees. She stated a $10,000 payment has already been made to the City’s tree fund as per the <br />original PUD. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden inquired if the Council was willing to give up trees for the planting <br />islands. <br /> <br />Mr. Salzer discussed the reasons why trees could not be planted within the islands, noting tree <br />roots would upset the underground water retention system. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated she did not have a problem with this given the fact trees <br />would be planted elsewhere on the site. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if this request was flexibility within the previous request or was this a new <br />PUD. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik advised he viewed the request as flexibility from the previous request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott stated he supported this matter being reviewed under the previous PUD <br />request. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding City and MnDOT setbacks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated she supported this item moving forward under the previously <br />approved PUD. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant concurred. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes and Councilmember McClung supported the matter moving forward <br />under the current PUD. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if there were 18 or 19 conditions for approval. <br /> <br />City Planner Jagoe reported Condition 19 could be stricken because it was no longer applicable. <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to adopt <br />Resolution #2021-066 approving Planning Case 21-025 – Site Plan Review for <br />Scannell Properties, LLC at 4200 Round Lake Road based on the findings of <br />fact, submitted plans and the eighteen (18) conditions for approval as listed <br />within the November 22, 2021 report to the City Council, amending Condition <br />10 to include Met Council and Xcel Energy. A roll call vote was taken. The <br />motion carried (5-0). (Minutes correction to strike staff report condition <br />sixteen (16) with flexibility from the previous request.)
