<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 26, 2001 <br /> <br />r'" <br />~- ;c- <br />LJ <br /> <br />H, r"''1I'' <br />,. ,.- " <br />b~~ I <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked why they needed the drive-in facility. Mr. Gerker replied the <br />elderly, handicapped, and people with sick children liked the drive-in facility. It was a nice <br />convenience for those customers. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Gerker stated the Walgreens were more local stores and not regional stores such as a Target <br />Store. He indicated they were attempting to place a Walgreens every two miles in the Twin <br />Cities area. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst expressed concern regarding the updated traffic analysis being given to them this <br />evening and not having the opportunity to review this information prior to the rneeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked what the turning radius was from the median turning into Arden <br />Hills Plaza. Mr. Kohler replied it would be over 100 feet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked about Ramsey County recommending the right-in only. Mr. <br />Kohler replied they had presented that to Ramsey County and Ramsey County had not <br />recommended the right-in only. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she had been struggling with this. The building looked <br />wonderful, but she did not believe it belonged on this corner. She disagreed with <br />Councilmember Larson about pulling the building closer to the street. She liked it back farther <br />away from the intersection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if there was a way to make the right-in only with no possibility of <br />traffic making a left turn in. Mr. Kohler replied it was just the matter ofthe angle of the <br />approach. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski expressed concern regarding four signs, when the other businesses <br />did not have that many signs. Mr. Kohler replied the Ordinance allowed them to have this <br />number of signs. Also, the corner signs were moved back to allow room for the City sign. and <br />the signs had been dropped down to keep them below the height of the canopies of the building. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked to have this extended until April 5,2001, so the Council could have further <br />time to review all of the information presented this evening. Councilmember Rem agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson agreed to table the item for further discussion. He stated he had no <br />opposition to the idea of it being developed, but he did not think it did a good job of setting the <br />tone of the downtown area. He stated he wanted more time to review the plan and obtain <br />additional ideas from the architect as to what might make this more attractive as an entrance to <br />the City. He stated he would still like to see the building pulled forward. He believed more <br />thought needed to be given to the lighting and sidewalk access. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated he would be in favor of taking more time to look at the options. He <br />expressed concern regarding the traffic flow, the traffic study, and the median. He indicated he <br />needed more time. He stated this was a major intersection and he thought this proposal deserved <br />more review. <br /> <br />e <br />
