ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – October 9, 2024 3 9. A public hearing for a Planned Unit Development Amendment request is required before the request can be brought before the City Council. Consultant Planner Hofer reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission for Planning Case 24-016 for a Planned Unit Development Amendment and Site Plan Review for an Event Center and Restaurant at 3776 Connelly Avenue, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the October 9, 2024 Report to the Planning Commission. Consultant Planner Hofer reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 1) The project shall be subject to any and all conditions of approval of Resolution 2024- 038. 2) The project shall be completed in accordance with the submitted plans as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the Community Development Director, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 3) A violation of any condition set forth in the permit shall be a violation of this Code, and shall be cause for revocation of the permit. 4) The Master and Final PUD Development Agreement shall be amended to reflect the approval for additional flexibility from exterior building materials and the plans reviewed with this request. The Master and Final PUD Development Agreement shall be fully executed prior to the issuance of building permits. 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Weber opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Erler stated his only concern with this request was that the acceptability depends on the screening from Snelling Avenue. He did not believe it was good to count on screening from highway department land. The only way he finds it acceptable to change this property was to ensure the screening was completed. Commissioner Mitchell asked how much of the north face would be changed from a painted surface to brick. Consultant Planner Hofer reviewed the building elevations in further detail with the Commission noting the areas that would change. Commissioner Mitchell indicated she visited the property and noted it appears the property has wooden siding and not cement block.
