ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — APRIL 18, 2022 4 obsolete for industrial use. A new site plan would include a Mister Car Wash, with limited service. The multi -tenant building would include Panera Bread, Pacific Dental and Bank of America. The bank would not have a drive thru or ATM. They have made two entrances separating the two uses, but there will be a reciprocal easement and operation agreement with property management, and cross parking will be treated as one lot. The multi -tenant building access lines up with the Cub Foods access point on Grey Fox Road. For interest and to break up the fagade of the building, the multi -tenant building will have step backs, playing to both main roads, so all tenants will have a reveal. The monument sign will sit on the corner of Grey Fox and Lexington. Mr. Carlson explained how they would play to both roads for visibility for all tenants with the positioning of the buildings and step backs. It also hides the drive-thru in the back of the building. They won't be conforming to the building positioning at the front yard setback for Grey Fox Road. They are also within the distance limit from an existing drive-thru. The inner drive-thru would work in the traditional way, but the outer lane would be a rapid pickup from online orders. There will also be 2 parking spots designated as pre -order pickup parking. There is plenty of room for stacking around the building. Councilmember Scott asked if there would be an ATM in the bank lobby. Mr. Carlson said he would look into it. Councilmember Holmes asked for an explanation of how you would proceed through the car wash and what the stacking would look like. Mr. Carlson showed how the traffic flow would work in the car wash. He noted there would be a maximum of five employees working at any given time. Mr. Carlson explained that the car wash hours would be 7 am — 7 pm every day. Panera would be open 6 am — 9 pm. The dentist would be open 10 am — 7 pm Monday and Tuesday, 10 am - 4 pm Wednesday - Thursday, 10 am - 3 pm on Friday, closed on weekends. The bank would be open 9 am — 4 pm Monday - Friday, 9 am — 1 pm on Saturday, closed on Sunday. Councilmember Holmes asked how many cars would be anticipated through the car wash, and if there would be any detailing offered. Mr. Carlson said there would be no detailing, patrons would stay in their car except to vacuum. Generally, people will wave off if there are more than 10 cars in the lanes as they won't want to wait that long. City Planner Jagoe noted a landscaping and lighting plan will be included with the future submission, as well as grading and erosion control. Mr. Carlson said they will probably use five-foot candles in the parking lot. Councilmember Holden asked about materials. Mr. Carlson said they would fully comply with building materials.
