<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Memo to Planning Commission <br />Planning Case #02-25: Preliminary Plat and Master Plan PUD <br />Page 2 of 12 <br /> <br />In an effort to work with area residents to address some of their issues regarding the Concept <br />Plan, Guidant forilled 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 co.nsidered by the City Council, integr<d to <br />Guidant's request for preliminary plat approval is the request to vacate portions of Femwood <br />Avenue. Additionally, the preliminary plat dedicates the private access drive currently referred <br />to as CUJUlIlings Park Dri ve as a City street. <br /> <br />The applicant is also seeking a Planned Unit Development Master Pl:;m (#02-25B) to g\lide <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 incl\lde propose<i phasing fo.r neW <br />construction. As the new buildings are proposed (in accordance with the Master Phm), the <br />applicilllt will bring in site plans to address individu.al bui)<iing isslles. <br /> <br />Surroundin~ Area <br /> <br /> <br />South <br />across County F) <br /> <br />East (Shoreview) <br /> <br />Industrial <br /> <br />1-1: Limited Industrial <br /> <br />Office / Utility <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />West <br /> <br />R-l: Single F~milyResidential <br /> <br />Single Family Residential <br /> <br />Low Depsity Residential <br /> <br />Site Data <br /> <br /> <br />Industrial <br />Light Industrial/Office <br />j.l: Limited Industrial/Pun Overlay <br />92.78 acres (4,042,646 square feet) <br />N/A <br />Relatively flat. <br />
