<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 26,2001 <br /> <br />iC 9 <br /> <br />L:-:.:';-- L \0' /:--.'."t. (. l <br />ideas from the Parkway System plan into their plans. The only information provided on <br />"Community Gateways" in the 1998 Comprehensive Plan was as follows: <br /> <br />"The intent is that special attention be paid to enhancing intersections where there is an <br />entrance to the community. Special attention may include street and curb realignments, <br />signage, burying overhead utility lines, berming and landscaping. Design parameters need <br />to be developed to help define each intersection." <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch noted this language was vague and provided little direction for potential applicants. If <br />the City wishes to have specific design guidelines for "Community Gateways", they should be <br />developed and adopted into the City's Zoning Ordinance as a separate district or overlay district. <br />Additionally, the properties identified as "Community Gateways" were not City owned parcels. <br />If the City intends to have entrance signs on any ofthese properties in the future or have special <br />landscaping, the City would have to purchase land, replat as substandard lots for a sign or obtain <br />a permanent easement from the private property owner, if willing. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch stated the City of Arden Hills received a completed application for this request on <br />December 6, 2000, pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by <br />February 4, 2001 (60 days), unless the City provided the petitioner with written reasons for an <br />additional 60-day review period. The applicant was notified, in writing, that the application <br />would be extended sixty days to AprilS, 2001. The City may, with the petitioners' consent, <br />extend the review period beyond the April 5,2001 date. He noted that ifthe City denies the <br />petitioners' request, "... it must state in writing, the reasons for denial at the time that it denies <br />the request." <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Case #00- <br />45, for the following applications, each contingent on the other's approval; <br /> <br />1. Lot split of the property at 120 I County Road E from one lot into two lots, for the following <br />reason and with the following conditions: <br />a) The proposal met the minimum requirements of Section 22-12, (e) of the City Code; <br />b) The subdivision shall be recorded with Ramsey County within sixty days of approval <br />from the City Council; and <br />c) Following recording with Ramsey County, the applicant would provide a final plat plus <br />evidence of recording to the City of Arden Hills. <br /> <br />2. Variance from Section 6 (D) # 1 (b), proximity to drive-in businesses, for the following <br />reasons: <br />a) The drive-in was required for the operation of the business and the property could not be <br />put to a reasonable, approved use within the District without it; <br />b) The granting of the variance would not alter the essential character of the District; <br />c) The application met the spirit and intent ofthe Zoning Ordinance; and <br />d) The Special Use Permit application, as required for drive-in businesses, gave the City the <br />opportunity to review and address any future potential problems on the property on an <br />ongoing basis. <br />
