<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 26, 2001 <br /> <br /> <br />U-Tr <br />i-~ <br />, <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Council member Rem she believed the Ordinance stated tlley needed to have a curb-cut. She <br />asked for a clarification regarding the Ordinance curb-cuts. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he believed the Ordinance addressed two points of access, not anything <br />about required curb-cuts. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked about the median extensions. Mr. Gerker replied on Lexington <br />Avenue, there would be no extensions; West County Road E would have one extension for the <br />right-in only. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked how they were handling the surface water. Mr. Kohler showed on <br />the site map where they proposed to have the detention area. He stated the site drained from the <br />front of the building to the southeast and picked up in catch bases and relocated to the northern <br />part of the site where the detention ponds were located. He stated the engineers had worked with <br />the Watershed District. This had been reviewed by the Watershed District. <br /> <br />Ron Johnson, 1280 Nursery Hill Court, also had a business in Arden Plaza. He asked if the <br />applicant was familiar with the report written February 21, 2001 by Daniel E. Soler. He <br />indicated the January 3, 2001 Planning Commission meeting minutes stated they had the blessing <br />of Dan Soler. Mr. Johnson stated Mr. Soler said he would look at it, but did not give his <br />blessing. He asked for clarification regarding Ramsey County's statement regarding that <br />everything was fine. He asked if applicant had anything in writing from Mr. Soler. <br /> <br />Mr. Gerker replied the County was always consulted first for their comments. He stated they had <br />talked to Mr. Soler about that and what they had in mind was based on the traffic study. He <br />stated Mr. Soler told them at that time that this was fine, and it was only the past week or so that <br />Mr. Soler stated the traffic study was too conservative. Mr. Gerker indicated until they got to the <br />final process, things did not get into formal letters. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson stated in the February 21, 2001 report, Ramsey County did not want to extend the <br />median on West County Road E because it would cut off the left hand lane into Arden Plaza. <br /> <br />Mike Crags(?sp), 3712 Chatom Circle, stated he drove that intersection every day and there <br />would be substantial traffic problems in this area if Walgreens was added. He stated right now, <br />there was no way to get in and out of the Arden Plaza businesses easily. He urged them not to <br />grant variances for the drive-in, as it would add too much traffic, especially since it was located <br />so close to the railroad track. He stated he did not see this location for a Walgreens as having a <br />purpose. He indicated there were already several drugstores in the area, and he believed this <br />business would have a negative on traffic in the area. <br /> <br />Greg Tiesen, 1556 Oak Avenue, urged Council to vote against this proposal. He stated the traffic <br />study did not speak to the issue of the disruption of the traffic patterns. He stated it was a very <br />busy intersection and he did not see the addition ofWalgreens as an advantage and did not see <br />how it served the community. <br /> <br />e <br />
