ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - JUNE 7, 2006 3 4. Lighting shall conform to the requirements m Section 6.E.3 of the Zoning . Ordinances, Lighting shall be directed away from adjacent properties, hooded, and not cast light that exceeds a mcter reading of one fool candle on the travel lanes of adjoining public streets or 4 foot candles on adjoining residential properties. Mr. Lehnoff noted staff had not received any letters, e-mails, or telephone calls from property owners or occupants in regard to this planning casc. However, site plan reviews did not require a public hearing or public noticc. Commissioner McClung expressed concern that there was only a single rendering of what the building would look like. Mr. Lehnhoff responded with respect to the lighting, they were not proposing any significant expansions and the landscaping would also simply be replaced and not added to. He noted only the front of the building changed with the sides and back remaining the same. He stated staff had not requested any photometric plan in this ease. Jeffrey Anderson, architect representing applicant, summarized the types of windows they were proposing to use on the building, He noted they were increasing the window area on the building. He summarized the outside materials proposed to be used on the building. He indicated the building would be stucco on thc entire east and north side with precast concrete base and new brick installed at thc entrances to visually definc the entrance point to thc building. He noted on the north side of the building the window locations would not be changed. . Chair Sand asked ifthere was any stone on the elevation. Mr. Anderson responded stone would be used at the base of the entrances. He indicated the brick would be used on the columns to the center entrance and on the face of the main entrancc. He stated there would also bc windows added on the south and west side similar to the windows being added on the cast side. Commissioner McClung stated he believed the brick looked good on the columns at the center entrance and he believed the hrick should also be used on the northeast side as wel!. Commissioner Larson stated it would be nice if the applicant would also upgrade the site to enhanec the neighborhood (i.e. curb and gutter in thc parking lot, etc.). Commissioner Modesette stated in her mind curb and gutter was for a functional use and not a site enhancement and she believcd it would be a hardship to thc applicant to require them to put in curb and gutter as long as there was not a negative impact to the environment. She stated she was not a proponent for curb and gutter just for the sake of putting in curb and gutter without a good reason. Commissioner Larson stated he was mentioning this for future reference and not necessarily for this application, Commissioner Zimmerman moved, scconded by Commissioner Larson to Planning Case 06-018, 1212 LLC, 1212 Red Fox Road, Site Plan review subject to the four conditioned . as outlined in staff s May 22, 2006 report.
