WEB: www.oppidan.com September 10, 2002 Mr. Aaron Parrish, City Planner City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794 RE: Amendment to Cub Foods Development PUD SWC Grey Fox Road & Lexington A venue Dear Aaron: This letter is intended to serve as a narrative review of the Amendment to the Planned Unit Development submission for the Cub Foods store at the referenced location. The development has been approved, as ofthe City Council meeting on Monday September 9, 2002. This request is for the following: . The addition of approximately 4,500 square feet, in the rear of Shannon Square. This expansion will be positioned to allow only a 5 foot setback from the property line, at the very southwest corner of the expansion area. . . With the current plan, the parking requirement is 432 spaces and we have 475 spaces, total on the site. The addition of this. space would require approximately 20 more spaces, which we already have. Also, with the elimination of the Cub drive-thru pharmacy lane, we will see a net increase in parking of 12-14 spaces. Overall, the site is not impacted. We have acceptable parking, greenspace, ponding and area, as was originally approved. The addition only requires a variance in a small portion of the rear lot, which is adjacent to a railroad easement area and a driveway and utility easement area. There are no immediate neighbors who are affected. We found this modification out a week prior to the final hearing of the City Council. We did not feel it was appropriate to add at the last minute to the discussion and are now asking for the amendment. We took forward to working with the City to a successful completion of this project. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (952) 294-1243. PaulJ. T .
