<br />ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 7, 2001 <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />Chair Baker stated the City shares the vision to create a high quality development and asked how . <br />the City can assure that objective is met by the developer. He asked about a commitment to a <br />certain size of development, noting the large range that is being discussed. He asked if the <br />developer would object to including a "window" of size in the PUD. <br /> <br />Mr. Shardlow stated the 6,000 square foot building is only a possible scenario with multi tenants, <br />From a financial standpoint, they are not yet in a position to identify the base level of square <br />footage needed to drive the project. He advised that no developer will come in with a <br />speculation project and give a guarantee on the square footage, Instead, they are asking for a <br />partnership by identifying the design standards they will abide within for a high quality <br />development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman stated he understands the developer's desire for flexibility and to be <br />able to bring the project to market as quickly as possible, He stated he also appreciates the <br />design standards and inability to identify the final square footage or project design until the <br />tenant is identified, Commissioner Zimmerman recommended that these design standards be <br />considered as "proposed" design standards since exactly what is needed is not yet known, <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman stated he would like the Plarming Commission to have the ability to <br />re-address the design standards once the tenant is identified and the Final Plan is submitted, At <br />that point, an intelligent decision can be made about what is appropriate, <br /> <br />Mr. Shardlow asked the Planning Commission to remember that the PUD process would create . <br />an ordinance for tbis project and would have no status until the project is fmally approved, He <br />stated approval of the PUD is not complete until it is at the final stage and the ordinance is <br />adopted by the City Council. He stated that what is being suggested by Commissioner <br />Zimmerman is exactly what will happen. Mr. Shardlow stated the only thing that does not fit <br />conceptually is that the Gateway Ordinance is a bit out-of-date since it was based on a past-dated <br />concept. He stated if the Planning Commission wants to maintain 50 foot setbacks, it would not <br />be workable on this project. <br /> <br />Mr. Shardlow stated again that approving these design standards would not grant approval of the <br />Final Plan. <br /> <br />Ms, Chaput stated Mr. Shardlow is correct that the Master Plan is the guide used to place <br />restrictions on the final plan, At the final PUD stage, the building plan and criteria are reviewed <br />to assure conformance with the Design Standards. Ms. Chaput stated the concept PUD is not <br />binding but the Master Plan is binding, <br /> <br />Mr. Shardlow stated the applicant is vested in the plan and has reasonable certainty they would <br />obtain approval if the Final Plan is in compliance with the approved Master Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. McClure stated the problem they have seen with going first to find tenants is the perceived <br />uncertainty felt by the tenants, He stated they are attempting to key this site up to make it as <br />attractive as possible. Mr. McClure stated they have worked closely with staff to, collectively, . <br />get this project done. He stated the PUD identifies the issues they feel specifically need to be <br />addressed, Mr. McClure stated he is concerned about making these standards "loose" since it <br />effectively "cuts the heart out" of what they are attempting to address, <br />
