ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—NOVEMBER 22, 2021 3 9. NEW BUSINESS A. Resolution 2021-066 — Site Plan Review — 4200 Round Lake Road (Scannell Properties)—PC 21-025 City Planner Jagoe stated Scannell Properties was approved Resolution 2020-045 for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) subject to 35 conditions on October 12, 2020 that was part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the subject property in order to operate an office and warehouse facility. The approximate 21 acre site is located south of the cul-de-sac on Gateway Boulevard and north of Interstate 694 and east of 35W. The Subject Property had been vacant since 2006 with wetlands located adjacent to Interstates ("35W and 694"). City Planner Jagoe explained the site is highly visible from 694 and 35W. Separate access points to the site are provided via Gateway Boulevard for employee parking and deliveries. The site development will include office space, warehousing, ground level unloading access with 38 dock doors located on the north side of the building, and at-grade office parking lots located on the south side of the building. City Planner Jagoe reported one of the conditions from Resolution 2020-045 stated "Site Plan approval shall be required for the construction of the proof of parking area". This proof of parking area was shown on Site Exhibit EX-1 (Exhibit D) as part of the PUD Review. The Applicant has a prospective tenant that will occupy 2/3rd's of the building which also necessitates the need for construction of this future parking area. Therefore, the Applicant is pursuing the Site Plan Review for expansion of the parking area.

The Applicant has submitted an application for Site Plan Review to construct additional parking previously identified as "proof of parking" at the subject property 4200 Round Lake Road. 2.
