Minutes of the Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting, 12-6-89 <br /> Page 2 <br /> CASE #89-21 (Cont'd) The Planner discussed the areas of concern listed in his <br /> report: <br /> • 1. Traffic Impact: Traffic will continue to be a major concern of the City in <br /> development along Lexington Avenue. The flexibility for dealing with traffic is <br /> reduced with each new development. <br /> A traffic study was submitted by the applicant and reviewed by City Engineer <br /> Maurer. A copy of the Engineer's review dated 11-27-89 was forwarded to <br /> Commission. <br /> The Planner suggested an overall traffic study on Lexington Avenue between I-694 <br /> and County Road E be accomplished while there is still an opportunity to correct <br /> problems. <br /> 2. Storm Water Storage: A few sites in the area provide storm water storage, but <br /> many of the sites have nearly 100% hard cover with little opportunity to retain <br /> storm water. Shared ponding areas may be necessary as redevelopment occurs in <br /> this area. <br /> The subject site has open swale which collects storm water during times of peak <br /> runoff. The site also has an existing pond area on the southwest border and an <br /> area on the north perimeter. This site will likely not create additional runoff. <br /> 3. Parking: The 23 parking spaces along the north property line are in a joint <br /> parking easement with the property to the north. The terms of that easement <br /> should be submitted before acceptance of the final plan to meet parking <br /> requirements. The parking shown does not have the 5 ft. setback, as required by <br /> • Ordinance. <br /> The Engineer has indicated some concerns relating to the parking ingress and <br /> egress; particularly on the front of the site. <br /> The site has parking areas on both the front and rear of the building; all the <br /> spaces are needed to meet parking requirements. A passageway through the building <br /> is provided to allow access to shops along the link. The Engineer noted that it <br /> may take some time for persons using the facility to become accustomed to the <br /> arrangement with parking in the rear. <br /> The Planner noted employees could utilize the parking areas on the north and rear <br /> of the site; it may be difficult to get customers to utilize the rear parking. <br /> 4. Exterior Wall Surfaces: The Planner expressed concern relative to the <br /> unfinished concrete block walls on the south, north and west walls of the <br /> proposed building. He stated if the developer is attempting to entice shoppers <br /> and tenants to utilize the space, the building should be "dressed up". The front <br /> of the building is a combination of concrete block and brick; this area is <br /> proposed to be eliminated with the new building design. <br /> 5. Signs: The signs will come under the special provisions for "Multiple <br /> Occupancy Structures". A sign plan showing the exact location and description of <br /> each sign is not possible to prepare prior to leasing space. A sign plan should <br /> be submitted which shows the locations of and describes the freestanding site <br /> identifications signs and should show the locations of wall-mounted business <br /> • signs. If specific tenants are know at the time of final submission, the sign <br /> plan should include details. <br />
