below the 35 percent minimum to 34.5 percent. Without a variance, the impervious coverage could only be expanded by 15,000 square feet, which would probably accommodate around 50 parking spaces.

According to the applicant's letter, the structure coverage slightly exceeds the 30 percent limit because a small portion of the property was taken to create the right-of- way for Gateway Court after the Celestica building was constructed (Attachment 3D- 1). The files for this property do indicate that some property was taken for the construction of Gateway Court, but Staff has been unable to find the exact amount of area that was used for the road. The drawing submitted by the applicant shows what was taken, but the exact number is not shown, Removing land from 4300 West Round Lake Road would have adversely impacted the structure and impervious coverage limit. After the printed survey information was submitted to the City, it was discovered that the lot size was slightly incorrect and is larger than the information printed on the survey. The lot size is 502,485 square feet, which is reflected in the above chart. C. Regulation: Lighting (1320.13 Subd 6.H). Lighting is required to be hooded, concealed, or controlled. Proposal: Two light fixtures are proposed to be added along the southern edge of the expanded parking that will match the existing lighting. The new lights will be of the same style as the existing lights, which are hooded. 2. Landscaping and Grading The City does not have specific landscaping requirements for parking lot expansions in the Gateway Business Zone. The landscaping requirements in the Zoning Code's procedural manual only apply to building expansions. This property did have a landscaping plan as part of its original development approval in 1996; however, the City does not have a final version ofthe landscaping plan on file. Staff believes that it would be in the spirit and intent ofthe City's landscaping requirements to require no net loss in the total number of trees due to this City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for June 6, 2007 \\Metro-inet.uslardenhillsIPlanninglPlanning Cases\2007\07-010 Celestica CUP Amendment (PENDING)\060607 - PC Report - Celestica CUP & Variance.doc Page 6 of 13
