<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2000 <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />Issues which were discussed by the Planning Commission included the lighting of the parking lot <br />and the intersection at the entrance to the complex. The Planning Commission recommended <br />that a revised lighting plan be submitted for the parking facility providing options for lower <br />lighting, for fmal review by the City Council. The applicant has submitted to staff two <br />alternative lighting plans. The original plan showed four poles with shoe box fixtures on each at <br />30 feet in height. All three plans meet the light ordnance. <br /> <br />The first alternative is a 20-foot pole with a three foot footing. These poles would be in the same <br />location as the original proposal. The second option is a 12 foot pole with a three foot footing. <br />This requires 15 poles. The applicant prefers the 20 foot pole option. The lights would only be <br />used to illuminate the parking lot during evening hours. The applicant has agreed to the Planning <br />Commission's recommendation that the lights be controlled by timers to turn on after dusk and <br />off an hour later. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked what the ground elevation change was between the residential properties and <br />the parking lot. Ms. Randall stated that the elevation change was five feet. <br /> <br />With regard to the City lighting standards, Councilmember Larson confIrmed that there was not a <br />minimum requirement, only a maximum requirement. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. <br />Councilmember Larson asked if there was a threshold that must be met with regard to lighting <br />that must be provided. Ms. Randall stated that there was not. She indicated that the maximum <br />lighting standards are based on the amount oflumens at the property line. The applicant's <br />proposal included the lumen measurements at the City property line and this will meet the <br />Ordinance. <br />Councilmember Grant asked what the elevation difference will be between the 20-foot pole <br />lights and the residential properties. Mr. Jay Pomeroy, Project Design Engineer for Bethel <br />College, stated that the elevation difference was 20 feet. Ms. Randall noted that the light poles <br />would be a total of 23 feet tall. Councilmember Grant wanted to confirm that the tennis courts <br />will screen the light fixtures along the drive. Mr. Pomeroy stated that this was correct. <br /> <br />Ms. Randall stated that Bethel College, Ramsey County Public Works, and City staff met to <br />discuses traffic issues that were brought up at the Planning Commission meeting. Ms. Randall <br />presented the design of the intersection as proposed by Ramsey County. The proposed design <br />did not include a southbound right turn lane into the complex. The original discussion regarding <br />this intersection determined that by eliminating this turn lane it would make a safer pedestrian <br />crossing by reducing the number of lanes that must be crossed. Additionally, Ramsey County <br />did not feel the turn lane was warranted with the traffic load that a 41 parking space facility <br />would generate. Staff indicated that Ramsey County would be open to a southbound right turn <br />lane into the athletic facility. <br /> <br />There was also some discussion about signs and traffic signals. Pedestrian crossing signs would <br />be required as part of the project. Signals or flashing lights could be added, however, they are <br />not advised by Ramsey County at this time. <br /> <br />Ms. Randall indicated that letters in support of this project were received from the North <br />Suburban Soccer Association. Mr. Michael Coopet had provided the City with a copy of a letter <br />
