It is not the same plan as was previously shown on their master plan. It is smaller in magnitude and extends to the south rather than to the east Originally, it was shown as a two-story building. The plan for this expansion is a single story. Access to the site is only along the north side of the building. The smaller access from the east has been eliminaterl. Efforts will be made to match the exterior with the existing building. The brick originally used is no longer in stock, but the brick that has been chosen is a very close match. The current asphalt will be sodded and trees planted. The plan does comply with all landscape ordinance requirements. Additional entry doors will be constructed on the west side of the building to provide additional access. They will be a dark brown brick to match the main entrance. All of the roofing mechanical equipment will be screened to match what is on the existing building. This building expansion does cause the loss of four parking spaces on the north side of the building but will still comply with ordinance requirements. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan as presented. MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Aplikowski to approve the Site Plan Review for Case No. 94-17, including construction material differences and the building orientation difference for CPI. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0). CASE NO. 94-19 - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - OPEN SALES LOTS Fritsinger reported that there have been ongoing discussions over the last year about changes to the merchants ordinances to clear up confusion between itinerant vendors on open sales lots and how they are applied under existing ordinances. Staff is proposing a change in the definition of retail sales by adding the following to the end of that definition: "and open sales lots not included in the definition of retail sales." It has not been clear that open sales lots are not allowed in Arden Hills. The Planning Commission unanimously approved this amendment to the ordinance. Consensus of the Council was to request staff to present the amendments of both the ordinance and the Land Use Chart in the form of resolutions on the Consent Calendar for the next Council meeting.
