<br />Current Physical Conditions <br /> <br />Summary of Major Physical Planning Issues <br /> <br />The following questions should be discussed, debated and resolved during the planning <br />process from the County Road E Plan. <br /> <br />1 B Arden Plaza: What should be the extent and nature of redevelopment, if any, on <br />the Arden Plaza shopping center site? Should additional development on that site <br />be limited for the sake of traffic operations at its two driveways? <br /> <br />2.. Former Holiday Inn Site: How should the former Holiday Inn property be used in <br />the future? <br /> <br />3.. Industry: Is industry considered an appropriate land use along the County Road E <br />corridor? <br /> <br />4.. Street Trees: Should the City plant trees along the County Road E right-of-way? <br />Should pedestrian-scale lighting be installed? <br /> <br />5.. Lexington Avenue Streetscape: Should the City invest in trees, decorative <br />lighting and better sidewalks along Lexington Avenue? <br /> <br />6.. Entrance Monuments: Should district identity signage, lighting and/or <br />landscaping be installed at the Lexington and Highway 51 entrances to the study <br />area? <br /> <br />7.. Building Setbacks: Where should future buildings be located relative to the street <br />and sidewalk - set immediately adjacent to the sidewalk, set back a short distance or <br />separated with a parking area? <br /> <br />8.. Design Guidelines: Should the City adopt and apply a set of site planning and <br />architectural design guidelines in the corridor? <br /> <br />9.. Role of the City: To what extent should the City of Arden Hills be involved in <br />helping to implement changes in the study area? Should the City's role be limited <br />to planning, zoning and public infrastructure or should it become financially <br />involved in site redevelopment? <br /> <br />20 October <br /> <br />Guiding Plan for the B2 District <br /> <br />2-23 <br />
