<br />ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 7, 2001 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />that unless a certain minimum level of development is obtained, the project cannot be financed <br />successfullyHe explained the need for these elements to be identified so the property can be <br />marketed, However, the final detailed plans will be reviewed and analyzed by the Planning <br />Commission during the final Pun process, Mr, Shardlow stated the two plans presented show <br />the range of what can happen on the property at a maximum and medium level. <br /> <br />Commissioner Erickson noted the maximum plan identifies an eight-story building and asked <br />about the height of the parking ramp in that plan, He also asked the height of the building and <br />parking deck on the mid-range plan, <br /> <br />Steve Dowdy, Pope & Associates, stated the maximum plan would have an elevated parking <br />deck with the possibility of adding another level ifthe full eight story office building is <br />constructed, He explained that the height of the parking deck could vary depending on the size <br />of office building. He stated on the mid-range plan, the office buildings would be single story <br />and the parking area a single parking deck. <br /> <br />Commissioner Erickson asked ifthe parking ramp encroaches the setbacks on Gateway <br />Boulevard, Mr. Dowdy stated the picture does make that appearance but when the Pinal Plan is <br />determined, they will adjust the boundaries and follow the City's guidelines. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pakulski asked where a bank building could be located on the plan, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />John McClure, Chesapeake Companies, stated he is not sure where it would go but if they get <br />large corporate users, they will determine the type of ancillary uses that would best fit. He stated <br />it is not their intention to fill the project with 6,000 square foot buildings; they just want <br />flexibility. <br /> <br />Mr. McClure stated they are presenting these plans to identify the site constraints, wetland areas, <br />topography, etc, However, the Pinal Plan will be driven to a great extent by the desires of the <br />user and will probably not appear like either of these plans, <br /> <br />Mr. McClure stated it is important to understand that this Master Plan identifies a scale of <br />development, maximum to minimum. He stated when they talk to users, they want the ability to <br />show the criteria and have some of the up-front entitlement work out of the way, It also shows <br />the City embraces this project which makes the potential tenants more comfortable with moving <br />forward, Mr. McClure stated their primary goal is to make this as attractive as possible to <br />potential tenants and make it easy to begin construction, <br /> <br />Commissioner Erickson questioned the rationale for setback changes at this concept stage. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr, Shardlow suggested a mutual desire to maximize development on this site for a high profile <br />project He stated this is one ofthe best areas left in Arden Hills to achieve a high tax base <br />project. He noted that 54% of the site is open space due to site constraints, Thus, it is not <br />uncommon to relax constraints within the center of the project. Mr, Shardlow noted this is an <br />integrated development rather than having the buildings sit on individual lots, He explained this <br />is a Pun approach with the buildings clustered into the middle of the site. That is the rationale <br />for considering the setback variances, However, when the Pinal Plan is completed they will <br />make every effort to minimize the setback variances, <br /> <br />Chair Baker closed the public hearing at 8:17 p,m, <br />
