. . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 27, 1994 7 a Boundary Line Agreement with the neighbor to the east has been reached to minimize the variance request. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). SITE PLAN REVIEW - RAMADA - PLANNING CASE NO. 94-10 Fritsinger stated that in 1993, the City approved an outdoor patio for the Ramada Inn adjacent to McGuire's. Approval was subject to several conditions and a one-year review period. The applicant has now requested approval for the patio with one additional condition, which would be to eliminate .the sidewalk required along the south side. The sidewalk was primarily included to help delineate fire lanes. The existing sidewalk on the east side ends at the front entry, and there is also a small sidewalk on the west side. A sidewalk on the south would not connect to either of the existing sidewalks. In checking with the Fire Chief and Code Enforcement Officer, a sidewalk would not be required if the fire lane is adequately identified. Recently the parking lot was completed with asphalt and restriping. The landscaping requirement will be done as part of a change in franchise from Ramada Inn to Holiday Inn. Staff has found no documentation of concern or complaint regarding the patio proposal and recommended approval to the Planning Commission with the exclusion of item No. B, a sidewalk on the south side. After a lengthy discussion, the Planning Commission . approved the site plan, subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Commission minutes of June 1, 1994, on page 16. Probst asked if the landscaping would be done on work that is approved but not proceeding. Fritsinger stated that the Planning Commission did not discuss that issue. They stipulated that the landscaping plan be submitted to the City by September 1, 1994. Aplikowski asked if that is a realistic deadline with the changeover in management. Fritsinger stated that Planning Commissioners asked the same question, and the applicant has stated that the improvements can be completed by September 1, 1994. MOTION: Probst moved, seconded by Aplikowski to approve Planning Case No. 94-10 for an outdoor patio at the Ramada Inn, subject to the conditions outlined by . the Planning Commission.
