ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION – December 10, 2025 6 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Reilly indicated the PUD may address the hours of <br />operation and noise levels which is why staff is researching the conditions of the original PUD <br />and subsequent amendments to clarify both the hours of operation and noise levels. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lindau reported explained he would appreciate knowing what the current noise <br />levels were prior to Boston Scientific making any more improvements. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Reilly indicated Boston Scientific has more detailed repors <br />that have not yet been provided to the City. He stated he has requested this information. <br /> <br />Councilmember Weber noted the City Council had received an emailed complaint about <br />Boston Scientific when construction was occurring because activity occurred on a Sunday, which <br />was outside of the allowed hours of operation for construction and emails to the City Council <br />should be considered official complaints. <br /> <br />Commissioner Birken reported it was her understanding from the residents that they believe <br />Boston Scientific was not currently compliant and the neighbors would like Boston Scientific to <br />be brought into compliance before having to look at a big wall. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jacobson indicated the focus at the last meeting was on the loading dock area, <br />argon tanks and rooftop units. She believed the residents wanted to better understand how the <br />wall would assist with mitigating sounds, which led to the request for further information on how <br />the wall would assist with addressing noise. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lindau requested the four points of noise be measured and that solutions be <br />tailored to address the noise at the source without Boston Scientific putting up a large wall that <br />will only mask the noise. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jacobson agreed with this recommendation. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Reilly thanked the Commission for their feedback. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />Chair Collins moved, seconded by Commissioner Jacobson, to adjourn the December 10, <br />2025, Special Planning Commission Meeting at 7:21 p.m. The motion carried unanimously <br />(6-0). <br />
