ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — APRIL 18, 2022 5 <br />Councilmember Holden said she had no problem with the layout or the drive -through. She felt <br />the carwash was a good use of the property. <br />Mr. Carlson said the bank may want to put a sign on each corner of the building. They are <br />planning to lock in the monument sign and require tenants to follow city sign code. <br />Mr. Carlson said they are planning to haul snow off of the property rather than stack it. He will <br />talk to the neighbor to the west regarding snow storage. <br />Councilmember Scott asked if they had thought about providing an electric charging station for <br />vehicles. <br />Mr. Carlson said he could commit to that, with a 3Td party company. <br />Councilmember Holden mentioned they would also need bike racks. <br />Mayor Grant asked to go through the variance requests. <br />City Planner Jagoe stated they would be asking for flexibility on the building positioning as their <br />setbacks would actually be further from Grey Fox Road than is required. <br />Councilmember Holmes felt that was ironic and she had no problem with the setbacks being <br />further as it gives the property room to breathe. <br />City Planner Jagoe explained the next variance request would be the distance from another <br />drive-thru. Flexibility would be necessary for both properties; the restaurant and car wash. <br />Mayor Grant said they know everyone wants a drive-thru since the pandemic and they would be <br />addressing the requirement in the future. Also, this drive-thru would come out onto Grey Fox and <br />a signalized intersection so getting out into traffic wouldn't be an issue. <br />Mr. Carlson noted the menu board would also be too close by four feet, and would project sound <br />toward Arby's. There would be room for landscaping/screening. <br />Mr. Carlson discussed the idea of continuing the sidewalk. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the sidewalk would have to be kept in <br />the right-of-way. <br />City Planner Jagoe said another discussion item was off street parking requirements. Sixty <br />parking spaces are required for the multi -tenant building, they are showing 77, with an anticipated <br />need of 10 for the car wash. There will be a shared parking agreement. <br />Mr. Carlson clarified there would be 67 parking spots plus 10 for vacuuming. He also noted <br />there will be underground storm water storage. <br />
