<br />Memo to Planning Commission <br />Planning Case #02-25: Preliminary Plat and Master Plan PUD <br />Page 2 of 12 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In an effort to work with area residents to address some of their issues regarding the Concept <br />Plan, Guidant formed a neighborhood work group. The work group was comprised of: <br />interested neighbors, the Arden Hills Community Services Director, two representatives from <br />Guidant, consultants for Guidant, the Ramsey County Engineer, and the Shoreview Community <br />Development Director. The work group held five meetings between June and August of 2002, <br />the minutes from those meetings were mailed to approximately 850 residents in the area around <br />Guidant, and were also posted on the City of Arden Hills website. The result of the meetings is a <br />neighborhood that was more informed and more involved in the planning process and a proposed <br />Master Plan which is more sensitive to the concerns of neighborhood residents. <br /> <br />Currently, Guidant is requesting a preliminary plat (#02-25A) to consolidate its existing parcels <br />into three parcels. While it is a separate action considered by the City Council, integral to <br />Guidant's request for preliminary plat approval is the request to vacate portions of Fernwood <br />A venue. Additionally, the preliminary plat dedicates the private access drive currently referred <br />to as Cummings Park Drive as a City street. <br /> <br />The applicant is also seeking a Planned Unit Development Master Plan (#02-25B) to guide <br />development on the campus over the next twenty years, The Master Plan will establish proposed <br />locations for new buildings and parking ramps and will include proposed phasing for new <br />construction. As the new buildings are proposed (in accordance with the Master Plan), the <br />applicant will bring in site plans to address individual building issues. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Surrouuding Area <br /> <br /> <br />I-I: Limited Industrial <br /> <br />Office <br /> <br />Iudustrial <br /> <br />I-I: Limited Industrial <br /> <br />Office!
