Conditional Use Permits and Amendments <br />In 2009, the City approved one conditional use permit (CUP) and three CUP <br />amendments. Additionally, one CUP amendment was denied, one was withdrawn, and <br />three were still pending at the end of the year. The CUP that was granted was for Clear <br />Wireless to install communications antennas on the roof of the County Financial building <br />at 2 Pine Tree Drive. The CUP Amendments that were approved were for Bethel <br />University to extend the use of temporary classrooms, First Student to amend their <br />parking plan, and an addition to the Ramsey County Public Works Facility. Two CUP <br />Amendments were still pending for the communications tower at 1296 County Road F, <br />and one for Mounds View High School to construct a stand of bleachers. Clear Wireless <br />withdrew a CUP Amendment application to install antennas to the tower at 1296 County <br />Road F as well. <br />Preliminary/Final Plats and Master and Final Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) <br />There were two sets of preliminary/final plats and Master/Final PUDs reviewed by the <br />City in 2009. One was for the Arden Plaza redevelopment which was approved, and the <br />other was for the Arden Village apartment building which remains under review. <br />Code Amendments <br />The City approved six code additions/amendments in 2009: <br />1. Amended the Clear Vision Area regulation to more clearly state the intention <br />of providing a clear vision area at intersections within the City while allowing <br />for a reasonable amount of vegetation. <br />2. Amended the City Code to include Ash trees on the list of protected shade <br />trees. This broadens the City's ability to monitor and remove diseased Ash <br />trees. <br />3. Amended the City's antennas and towers regulations to provide a list of <br />priority locations for the placement of communications antennas, require <br />collocation on new towers, and clarify the requirements for antennas <br />applications. <br />4. Amended chapter five of the City Code regarding the City's liquor <br />regulations. This was a major revision to bring the regulations in line with <br />existing State Statutes regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages in the City. <br />5. Updated the Nuisance Ordinance to include a streamlined abatement review <br />for certain nuisances. <br />6. Adopted a rental registration ordinance for all residential structures with four <br />or fewer dwelling units. <br />City of Arden Dills <br />City Council Meeting. for March 8, 2010 <br />i I Metro-inet. us I ai-deiihills I Planning I Department Records I Quarterly & Year End Reports 120099 (12 -08 -IO -2009 Year in Review- PC Memo.doc <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
