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 City Planner Jagoe reported Condition 19 could be stricken because it was no longer applicable.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