4-3: Land Use and Public Improvements Arden Plaza Site: <br />1) Northern and Eastern Access: The proposed site plan creates a better site access to <br />the Arden Plaza site than currently exists. This is accomplished through wider <br />and longer turn lanes. <br />2) Land Use: Specifically calls for retail. <br />3) Gathering space: A gathering space is provided. We believe it will have more <br />use and vitality connected to the retail and restaurant area, and is thus should be <br />located along the "Main Street" entrance to Arden Plaza. This is also clearly <br />connected to the pedestrian movement along County Road E, and has clear <br />visibility from the main public access giving it a better sense of connection to the <br />public way. <br />4) Building Orientation: The buildings in the first two phases are oriented towards <br />County Road E and the "Main Street" in furtherance of the Master Guiding Plan. <br />5) Anchor Business: The pharmacy use is an anchor business, and will help promote <br />vitality to the shopping center and the district. A strong national retailer will <br />promote economic sustainability as this anchor. <br />6) Hospitality Business: It is the goal of the developer to find an eating <br />establishment to adjoin the gathering space, providing vitality to the gathering <br />space and a retail destination. <br />7) Pedestrian Movement: Pedestrian movement is enhanced throughout the site with <br />additional connections to County Road E <br />4-10 Illustrative Guide plan: The proposed option is comparable to the illustration. <br />1) Mixture of land Uses: The plan adds a strong retail mix supporting the center as a <br />retail destination, and supporting the vitality of the mix of uses for the district. <br />2) Redevelopment Opportunity: The site is currently occupied by office use which <br />does not work well, and is rightly identified as a redevelopment opportunity that <br />will benefit the district. <br />3) Building Relationship to the Street: The buildings face primarily to County Road <br />E and the Main Street entrance. There is no parking located between the <br />buildings and County Road E. <br />4) Parking: The parking is on the surface with the intent of well landscaped areas <br />around parking. <br />5) Improvements to County Road E: The developer has indicated willingness to <br />work with the city to connect the pedestrian amenities appropriately, and to <br />locate the City signage at the intersection of Lexington and County Road E <br />6) Traffic Signal: Arden Plaza LLC is not seeking Final PUD of all 3 Phases, <br />recognizing that the City's traffic consultant has indicated that a more limited <br />development is satisfactory prior to a new traffic signal. <br />7) Private Site Landscaping: The site will be landscaped appropriately and <br />attractively. <br />8) Entry Feature: The plan contemplates the creation of a "Main Street" feature off <br />of County Road E. The development is providing a sign structure to create an <br />appropriate entry feature for the City of Arden Hills. There will also be <br />monument entry features at the entrances to The Arden Plaza Site <br />R <br />
