<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 31. 1998 DR;:\FT 8 <br /> corner of Sunfish Lake on the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) on a 2.4 acre . <br /> parcel zoned R-l. He prescnted a site plan of the property and re\'iewed the setbacks and points <br /> of access. Mr. Ringwald explained the site plan contains visitor parking, employee parking, and <br /> the walkout building tucked into the hillside toward the lake. He presented exterior building <br /> elevations and advised that the issue ofreducing the amount ofrequired site grading has been <br /> discussed and modi tied, Also, the roof drains will go toward Highway 96 but the drainage from <br /> the rcmainder of the site will be directcd to the northeast corner to recharge the wetland. <br /> Mr. Ringwald stated the grading has been reduced substantially as well as the amount of <br /> revegetation required on the site. He then reviewed the lighting plan which includes minimal <br /> securing lighting via low shielded lighting structures which are directed downward. Mr. <br /> Ringwald advised that the architect is in attendance to present more detailed colored plans. He <br /> notcd the large roof structure angled at the entryway which is being researched to assure there are <br /> adequate roof drains so it is not a problem with drainage or icing of the walkway, Mr. Ringwald <br /> advised that the Planning Commission recommends approval with ten conditions. <br /> Mayor Probst asked if there is an interest in an entrance that is more prominent than first <br /> proposed. <br /> Peter VesterhoIt, Architectural Alliance, explained the drawings viewed by the Planning <br /> Commission werc frontal views so it was difficult to determine how the entryway would work. <br /> He noted the three-dimensional model of the City Hall and stated he feels comf0l1able that the <br /> building is designed as a low-key expression, He noted the focal of the Council Chamber's . <br /> tower and entranceway which will draw pedestrians to that location. <br /> Mayor Probst asked if the canopy could be widened to make it more prominent. Mr. Vesterholt <br /> stated that could certainly be done, <br /> Ms. Jean Sterner, Architectural Alliance, stated as you approach the building from the <br /> visitor's parking area, there is a more important perspective from that angle. She presented a <br /> sketch of the building elevation from that view which creates an entry place together with the <br /> canopy and walkway, <br /> Councilmembcr Malone asked what type of building materials \\ill be used, Mr. Vesterholt <br /> stated the canopy and columns will be of steel and the screening \\all will be of stone, <br /> Councilmember Malonc asked if the canopy will be tilted. ?vIr. \'esterholt stated it will not. <br /> Mayor Probst raised the issuc of protection from wind and weather and asked if the canopy <br /> should be lowered or widened somewhat. Mr. Vcstcrholt stated this could be done. He <br /> addrcsscd the issue of the roof drainage and explained \vater and snow will not shcet off the <br /> roofline and will be directed by a trough through a roof drain systcm. <br /> Councilmember Malone noted that most of the roof area drains toward the side, not the canopy. <br /> Mr, V ester holt explained the water will be collected via a hidden internal guttcr which cannot be . <br /> viewed from the ground. <br />
