Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, August 14, 1989 Page 3 . CASE #88-36 (Cont'd) Bergly explained that during preparation of an easement document for the sewer lift station on this site, the Engineer discovered the site encompasses four separate parcels of land. He advised the parcel should be combined into one parcel and suggested this could be accomplished by Council action this evening, since a public hearing is not required. He advised an easement document could be prepared in conjunction with the lot combination. The Planner reviewed the conditions listed in the Planning Commission recommendation for approval of this application. Bergly suggested Council determine what action they wish to take on the sign variance; the matter could be referred to Board of Appeals and Planning Commission or Council could take action on the matter. Councilmember Malone questioned if Council could take action on the lot combination without formal application from the applicant. Attorney Filla advised the Council could require the applicant to plat the property or require the applicant submit a boundary survey combining the four parcels. He advised that platting is a much "cleaner" process than the boundary survey, however, the City's interest can be protected with either document. Filla advised Council can take action on the lot combination without a formal application and at this time there is no provision to require the applicant to plat the parcels of land. Council questioned which process the applicant would pursue. . Hans Hagen advised he would prefer platting the parcels and questioned if he could proceed with the development based on submission of a certificate of survey and at the same time file the plat application. Hagen explained it was his understanding the lots had been vacated and he was purchasing a metes and bounds description. Attorney Filla advised Council the platting can occur after the development is under construction, if the applicant submits the certificate of survey combining the lots. There was discussion relative to park dedication for this site. Council directed staff to review the park dedication and determine if it was previously resolved when the area was first platted. Malone moved, seconded by Growe, that Council approve Case #88-36, Revised Site Plan, Hans Hagen Corporate Headquarters, Cleveland Avenue and County Road E-2, including a 15 foot front setback variance from Cleveland Avenue and County Road E-2 for the parking lot, subject to the following conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. . 5. 6. 7. The site grading and drainage plan, including erosion control, be approved by the City Engineer and Rice Creek Watershed District prior to grading. The rooftop mechanical equipment be screened as proposed by the applicant, and required by Code, with the stipulation that further screening will be required if complaints are received regarding visibility of the equipment. Any trash dumpsters shall be screened in accordance with the Zoning Code. An access permit be secured from Ramsey County Highway Department. Easement for the Cleveland Avenue lift station and improvements be provided by the applicant prior to issuance of a building permit. The applicant provide the City with evidence, via a certificate of survey, of the combination of the four parcels of land, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The applicant resolve park dedication, if required as determined by staff, prior to the issuance of a building permit. Motion tarried unanimouly. (4-0)
