The goal is to eliminate the need for parking on Lake Johanna Boulevard. The <br />service entrance would remain off Sandeen Road where it currently is located. Service <br />deliveries would be expected to decline slightly as Independent Sr. Apartments utilize <br />fewer supplies and services than Assisted Living Suites. The proposed plan is carefully <br />planned for a separation of parking creating more efficient traffic flows. The main <br />entrance to campus moves toward the south making the grades more gradual as traffic <br />enters the site. Upon entry traffic would be directed to the left to Care Center and <br />Memory Care parking or to the right to the Library, Senior Apartments and Assisted <br />Living which are accessed through the main entry. <br />Library: Prominently located at the main entry is the Ramsey County Arden Hills <br />Library Branch. It is visible from the intersection of County Road D and Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard and from the main entrance where monument signs would include a strong <br />Library presence. Patrons would enter the Library through a vestibule in the main entry <br />which allows the Library to choose their hours of operation separate from the PHS <br />campus hours. Across the vestibule is a conservatory that will be accessible by patrons <br />for reading and relaxing during open hours. The Library director provided PHS program <br />needs for planning purposes which we have been able to incorporate into the proposed <br />plan. They included a separate entrance, a prominent location, a drive -thru book drop, a <br />truck delivery entrance, approximately 6000 square feet of library (6600 are planned), <br />access to adjoining rental spaces for meetings, presentations and parties, (1500 square <br />feet of space that can be divided into three rooms). The Library indicated that access to a <br />cafe /coffee shop is desired. The plan incorporates access for Library patrons to the cafe <br />that we would normally plan into our Town Center. It is anticipated that this will be a <br />popular feature for the new Library. <br />PHS is pleased to incorporate the Library into a prominent space on campus as we <br />believe there is mutual benefit in pairing the Library on campus. It is an amenity of which <br />many residents will become patrons and volunteers. <br />Outdoor Environment: <br />Lakeshore Setback <br />PHS identified as an important goal to increase the setback from Lake Johanna. <br />The current building is set back from the lake 100 feet; City ordinance requires 50 feet. <br />The proposed building configuration allows a greater setback from the lake. The north <br />end of the crescent is 135 feet at the closest point. The south/east end of the crescent is <br />280 feet set back and the middle of the building sits 400 feet back from the lakeshore. <br />These increased setbacks allow more protection for the lakeshore and increased green <br />space between the lake and building improving views to and from the lake. <br />Shoreline Buffer <br />Currently the edge along the lakeshore has a fairly steep grade to the lake. This <br />grade would be maintained and this edge left as a natural buffer for the shoreline which <br />also maintains a more natural character to the shoreline. <br />
