Planning Memo - Arden Hills Case #92-16 . September 2, 1992 Page 3 of 3 7. LIGHTING: Double shoe box fixtures on 16 foot poles are proposed at 4 staggered locations between Co, Road E and the building. One light should also be provided for the east parking lot and drive and one or two lower light standards (10 ' - 12') or bollard lighting should be provided at the south end. RECOMMENDATIONS: l. Waive the Moratorium Ordinance. I can find no aspects of the plan that do not conform with both the existing and proposed ordinances, except for the width of parking spaces mentioned previously that will be changed. 2. Determine that the parking requirement for Mr. Movies of 1 space/220 sq.ft. of floor area is adequate and that the total parking requirement of 40 cars can be reduced by 3 spaces due to the different peak hour usage for the 2 businesses. (Available parking may limit the types of uses that will someday replace either of the uses.) 3. Approve the site plan with the following conditions: . A. Approval will allow the Applicant to obtain a building permit to undertake building demolition and site related work. Before the building permit is issued for the facade reconstruction, building elevations must be approved by the Planning Commission, Council and BUilding Inspector. This 2 stage approval process is proposed by the Applicant to allow the site paving to occur before potential frost. B. The landscaping plan is to be revised in accordance with the attached plan and a landscape bond is to be provided to the City before any building permits are issued. C. That one additional light standard be provided on the east side of the building and that bollard lighting or two lower light standards be provided along the south drive. NOTE: The Planning Commission and Council have expressed concern for this type of approach in the past, feeling that we are making commitments on certain components without seeing the real picture of what is exposed to the public. The building appearance was a primary concern expressed by the Planning Commission in last month's review and I have expressed by concern over the building image. The applicant was informed that the 2 stage building permit as proposed is not a customary approach. :dmn .
