Minutes of the Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting, 11-01-89 Page 2 CASE #89-19 (Cont'd) Member McGraw questioned if the applicant had considered placement of the antennae on the roof of the building. • Kappler stated that option was the first choice for relocation, however, the size of the dishes presented a problem for locating on the roof; the dish would be more visible. Planner Bergly noted he had reviewed correspondence from the installer which indicated the dishes would be more visible from the roof location and other problems. Chairman Probst asked if there was anyone present who wished to be heard regarding this matter. There was no response. Chairman Probst closed the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. Petersen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Commission recommend to Council approval of Case #89-19, Amendment to Special Use Permit for Two Dish Antennae in a B-2 Business District to allow relocation and operation of two 3.7-meter receiving dish antennae as proposed, conditioned upon: 1. The applicant agree to have up to three (3) additional evergreen trees installed to provide more effective screening, if the proposed four (4) ten-foot evergreens are found to be inadequate. 2. The Landscaping be installed concurrently or within 30 days of the relocation installation of the dishes. 3. The dishes be installed as close to the ground as possible to lessen their • visual impact. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) CASE #88-30; FINAL Planner Bergly referred to his report of November 1, SITE PLAN/PLAT, 1989, regarding the three items the applicant was to CONTINENTAL DEVLMT address and return to Commission for their review; APTS, HWY 10 & Landscaping, Lighting and Signage for the proposed 64 PARKSHORE DRIVE unit apartment complex at Highway 10 and Parkshore Drive. The Planner noted Commission should take action on all three items to allow Council to consider action on all the required items in the General Development Plan and Final Plat for this proposal. He explained Council tabled this matter to the next regular Council meeting held November 13 to allow Commission review of these items prior to final submission to Council. Bergly stated the landscape plan has been detailed since the last submission and shows an excellent selection and distribution of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. He noted the screening from I-694 has been reinforced as recommended and will help to reduce the impact of traffic; minor field adjustments in placement of the trees will be made after the site is graded. Bergly also stated a good combination of plant materials in the interior parking court will provide desirable visual separation of the buildings and all plant materials meet the minimum size requirements of the City landscape regulations. The Planner stated the applicant has responded to the Commission's concerns • regarding the lighting fixtures initially proposed; the fixtures shown on this plan are hooded and have a prism face that directs the illumination downward. He advised the plan shows the lighting pattern with 0.5 foot candles of illumination at the outer edge of the circular pattern.
