<br />www.srfconsulting.com <br />3701 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 100 | Minneapolis, MN 55416-3791 | 763.475.0010 <br />Equal Employment Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer <br />SRF No. 14411.00 <br />December 23, 2022 <br />Jessica Jagoe – Community Development Director <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 West Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />Subject: Project Narrative – Lindey’s Prime Steakhouse, Arden Hills, MN <br />Dear Jessica Jagoe: <br />Overview <br />On behalf of both Ramsey County and Lindey’s, Inc. (Lindey’s Prime Steakhouse), SRF is assisting <br />in the site development drawings and application involving the site parking modification of this <br />restaurant parcel to the City of Arden Hills. The private property improvements are required due to <br />operational changes as impacted by the County Road E / Old Snelling Avenue Roundabout project, <br />led by Ramsey County. <br />The roadway project has removed one of the prime driveways along Old Snelling Road, which has <br />caused restaurant semi-truck deliveries to be impacted. The existing driveway along County Road E <br />is inadequate and will need to be enlarged and relocated further east to assist with the roadway <br />geometry and on-site semi-truck circulation. Ramsey County has indicated that they will <br />compensate the property owner for all qualifying easements and improvements, due to the impacts <br />from the roadway. In addition to the required improvements from the roadway improvements, the <br />parcel owner desires to provide a few Owner preferred improvements, as well. <br />Preliminary meetings with the City of Arden Hills have indicated that parking lot changes will need <br />to adhere to the city code, thus a full Site Plan Review application will be required. Since the parcel <br />is zoned NB – Neighborhood Business, modification flexibility to code requirements can be handled <br />through Site Plan Review and does not require a Variance or Conditional Use Permit (CUP). There <br />are a few code modification flexibility requests for approval, along with the full development <br />improvements, as described at the end of this letter. <br />It is anticipated that the roadway project will occur primarily through 2023 and the site <br />improvements would be toward the end of this period, anticipating fall 2023. <br />Existing Conditions <br />The site is zoned NB – Neighborhood Business, is around 1.5 acres which includes both a <br />restaurant (Lindey’s Prime Steakhouse), a residential home (with garage), and a detached cottage. <br />The old restaurant was constructed before many of the development codes were in place at the City, <br />thus the existing parking and site has been a non-conforming, but allowed operation and use, <br />generally termed as “grandfathered in”. The restaurant owner’s family used to reside in the house <br />and cottage, but over the years, this has transitioned to a rental. <br />The property is generally surrounded by single family residents and Lindey’s Park, and at the <br />intersection of two busy roads of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue. The parcel has two
