<br />I <br />.. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I. <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 8. 1996 <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone stated the PUD concept is to develop multiple lots but if it were to <br />happen that the lots break into separate ownership, there is nothing to dissolve the PUD. He <br />stated if Parcel C comes under separate ownership, he believes the PUD should become invalid. <br />Mr. Ringwald advised the PUD does not relate to specific ownership but, rather, is a legal <br />document which permanently links the parcels due to access and other needs. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst noted Parcel C already has separate access to Fernwood Avenue and he wants to <br />assure his concern is addressed. <br /> <br />Mr. Seiler reviewed the history of ownership of this site and advised that CDS owns the property <br />and leases it back; however, the owner of Parcel C has the option to buy the property in the year <br />2018. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski suggested a condition be added that if the building is removed, for <br />whatever reason, the zero lot line would not exist and the PUD would dissolve. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger advised that since a PUD is very similar to a SUP in that it is filed with the <br />property and runs with the land, a special condition would be required to deal with this aspect. <br /> <br />Jeff Smyser, RLK Associates, Ltd., representing CDS, commented on the differences between <br />the current use and a future PUD use. <br /> <br />Mr. Seiler indicated no objection to the type of condition being suggested by Mayor Probst. <br /> <br />Bill Franke, 1228 Wynridge Drive, stated he is an abutting property owner. He noted that <br />approval of the proposed PUD would be similar to establishing a zoning district and also it <br />approves the zero lot line as it exists today. He cautioned against consideration whereby <br />demolition of the building would dissolve the PUD since it would also eliminate the certainty of <br />what will exist on this property, Mr. Franke noted another consideration is the need to construct <br />buildings that are financeable and insurable. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated while he is not opposed to what exists, he does not want to guarantee the <br />zero setback should the entire area be redeveloped. <br />
