6. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS
A. Lake Johanna Fire Department Capital Purchase
Councilmember Holmes questioned why the three budgeted items (tables, chairs, flooring and
chassis) were pro-rated between the three cities. Some of these expenditures were for Station #4
and she thought that Arden Hills pays 100% for expenditures for Station#1.
Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson stated this cost sharing for capital
items is based on the agreement between the cities.
Councilmember Holden indicated this would need to be investigated further as she also thought
that the City of Arden Hills was responsible for maintaining Fire Station #1 on its own. She
stated she would bring this item up at the next Fire meeting in July.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 3
Councilmember Holmes indicated she would not support approving these invoices until the
Council received further information from the fire department.
Councilmember Holden explained that the purchased items were budgeted last year for 2012 and
should be approved due to the fact it would assist Station#4 in becoming a 24/7 facility.
Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson commented that the chassis for the
new truck was being delivered on June 1st and the Fire Department did need funds to cover this
expense.
Councilmember Holden explained that this would be a hardship if this expenditure was not
approved tonight.
Councilmember Holmes suggested the Council approve the chassis invoice and hold off on the
others for further clarification.
Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson indicated the 26.9% was based on a
fair share calculation that was calculated on a yearly basis.
MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to approve the Lake Johanna Fire Department Chassis Purchase in
the amount of$137,846.63.
Councilmember Tamble questioned why the Council was delaying payment on these items.
Councilmember Holmes indicated she did not understand why the City had to pay its fair share
on other fire stations and 100% on Fire Station#1.
Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson explained this information had been
presented to the Council in the past and would be reviewed again for clarification.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
7. PUBLIC HEARINGS
None.
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Trail Signage
Park and Recreation Manager Olson stated the PTRC proposed adding trail signage to City
trails in 2011. At a joint PTRC/City Council meeting, the Council gave preliminary approval for
the PTRC to move further into design on trail signage. The next step identified was to work with
a sign company to get a.quote on sign production based on the PTRC's preliminary design. Staff
met with Carol Kriegler from Vacker, Inc. to discuss the trail signage design based on the PTRC's
recommendation and the proposed$3,000 budget for this project.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 4
Park and Recreation Manager Olson explained Ms. Kriegler does not recommend cedar
construction for the frames around the trail signage and has proposed other more durable and
maintenance friendly materials for the sign panels. The design and layout proposed by Ms.
Kriegler for all three options is similar to the PTRC proposal. Staff also discussed the mapping
portion of the design to gauge what Vacker Sign Company would need to export the map to the
sign company. Ms. Kriegler is confident she can work with Staff to utilize the City's trail
mapping.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson commented that due to the mapping requirements and the
positive experience the City has had with Vacker Inc., it was Staff s recommendation that the
signs be designed and produced by Vacker Inc. She then reviewed the sign options along with the
expenses noting the PTRC recommends Option #2 with the City tree engraved on the top of the
sign. Staff recommended the Council contract with Vacker Inc. for the production of 20 trail
signage panels in the amount of$2,885.63 and authorize an additional $500 expenditure for City
Staff to purchase posts ($300) and cement($200).
Councilmember Holden questioned why Staff was recommending 20 trail signs.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson explained this was the number of signs recommended by
the PTRC to stay within the budget and to meet the sign minimum by Vacker Inc. Their design
time is built into the sign cost.
Councilmember Holmes stated Option#3 may be easier to change and update the map.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson commented that each map option had the protective Tuff
Cover over laminate. The only difference was that Option #3 had an aluminum frame
surrounding the sign.
Councilmember Holmes expressed concern with how trail updates would be handled.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson stated it would cost the City $45 to update the trail map.
She did not anticipate the map would be updated frequently.
Mayor Grant questioned how the sign would be mounted to the cedar post.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson indicated the Public Works Department would use two
metal bolts to mount the sign to the cedar post.
Councilmember Holden asked if proposed signs would be included on the trail signs.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson explained the PTRC did not suggest adding proposed
trails to the signage, but this could be further discussed by the Council. The PTRC was concerned
that the sign may become too busy with existing and proposed trails.
Councilmember Holden expressed concern that changes to the sign trail would cost the City
$900 each time the trails map was updated in the future.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 5
Pak and Recreation Manager Olson stated that if one segment of trail is added, it would only
affect a small portion of the signs. Staff is proposing 3-4 zoomed-in areas for the 20 signs.
Councilmember Holmes inquired if the City could pay for 20 signs but not have all 20 signs
installed at this time.
Councilmember Tamble was in favor of placing all 20 signs as recommended by the PTRC.
Councilmember Holmes commented trail signs should be more informative and the proposed
locations may need to be further reviewed. She wanted the signs to prevent residents from getting
lost on the City's trails.
Mayor Grant stated the sign locations could be addressed at a future meeting, however, the
matter before the Council this evening was the production of the 20 signs.
MOTION: Councilmember Werner moved and Councilmember Tamble seconded a
motion to contract with Vacker, Inc. for the production of trail signage panels
in the amount of$2,885.63 and authorize an additional $500 expenditure for
City Staff to purchase posts and cement.
Councilmember Holmes questioned why Staff did not support Option #1, due to the fact it was
the lower cost.
Park and Recreation Manager Olson stated the PTRC favored Option #2 as it provided for a
more sturdy design. Option #2 was within the $3,000 budget and was therefore passed along to
the Council for approval.
Councilmember Holden indicated the difference in the sign material was worth the price
difference.
Councilmember Tamble agreed.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
B. Planning Case 12-006—Bethel CUP Amendment& Variance
City Planner Beekman stated Bethel University was applying for a Conditional Use Permit
Amendment and Variance for the construction of a 52,448 square foot wellness center in two
phases to the north side of the Robertson Physical Education Center and the Hagstrom Student
Center. The height of the addition would be 39 feet six inches and would have a footprint of
13,112 square feet. She reviewed the previous Master Plan stating the original plan called for a
wellness center, but in a different location. For this reason, a CUP Amendment was necessary. A
variance was needed to allow the building to be constructed higher than the 35 feet allowable
height limit.
City Planner Beekman explained as part of the application, Bethel University is also proposing
adjustments to the timing and location of the temporary classrooms that are located in the general
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 6
area of the proposed wellness center. Two of the other classrooms are proposed to be located to
the parking area on the north side of the Community Life Center, while the other two would
remain in their current configuration. Upon completion of Phase II all four temporary classrooms
would be removed.
City Planner Beekman reviewed the site plan and elevations in further detail along with the
findings of fact. She noted the Planning Commission reviewed this application at their May 9,
2012 meeting and have recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment with
conditions.
Councilmember Holmes asked for the height of Brushaber Commons.
City Planner Beekman noted this building was 53 feet in height and was completed several years
ago.
Mayor Grant questioned if the submitted plans affected any of the other operating agreements
with Bethel University.
City Planner Beekman stated all previous agreements would remain in effect and this was a
condition for approval.
Councilmember Holden expressed concern that two of the temporary classrooms would be
taking up space in the north parking lot.
City Planner Beekman commented the relocation of the classrooms would be to an employee
drop-off area and only three or four parking spaces would be lost.
Mayor Grant reiterated that the temporary classrooms would be removed from the campus after
the end of Phase II.
MOTION: Councilmember Tamble moved and Councilmember Werner seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 12-006 a Conditional Use Permit
Amendment and Variance at 3900 Bethel Drive based on the findings of fact
and the submitted Plans as Amended with the following conditions:
1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as
amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these
plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and
approval by the Planning Commission and City Council.
2. The applicant shall continue to abide by all previous agreements and
Conditional Use Permits, as amended by the conditions of approval of this
application.
3. A Conditional Use Permit drafted by the City Attorney shall be signed by
the applicant prior to the issuance of any building permits.
4. A building permit shall be obtained for all proposed structures.
5. Building permits for Phase I shall be issued by June 30, 2013, or an
extension shall be requested at least 45 days preceding this deadline.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 7
6. Building permits for Phase II shall be issued by June 30, 2016, or an
extension shall be requested at least 45 days preceding this deadline.
7. All temporary classrooms shall be removed prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for Phase II, or by October 31, 2017, whichever
occurs first.
Mayor Grant commented the proposed addition would be an asset to Bethel University. He was
in favor of approving the height variance and the CUP Amendment. He cautioned Bethel to stay
within their Master Plan requirements going forward.
Councilmember Holden inquired if two of the temporary classrooms would be removed prior to
Phase IL
City Planner Beekman stated two would be removed prior to Phase II and the other two would
be removed after completion of Phase 11.
Councilmember Holden recommended Condition#7 be amended to read as follows:
7. Two of the temporary classrooms shall be removed prior to the issuance of a
building permit for Phase II. All remaining temporary classrooms shall be
removed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for Phase I1, or by
October 31, 2017, whichever occurs first.
Mayor Grant requested comment from the applicant on this matter to provide clarification to the
Council on where the temporary classrooms would be located and when they would be removed.
Tom Trainer, Vice President of Facilities and Planning for Bethel University, indicated two
temporary classrooms would be removed prior to Phase II and two would remain. The classrooms
being removed are located at the construction site and the two that would remain would be located
in the parking area behind the Community Life Center. He reviewed the site map in further detail
with the Council to provide clarification.
Councilmember Holden withdrew her recommendation to amend Condition #7 and requested
the addition of Condition 48 stating it should read:
8. The two temporary classrooms located on the Phase II site will be removed
from the campus prior to the issuance of a building permit for Phase 11.
Councilmember Holden wanted to be assured that the temporary classrooms would be removed
from the campus and not be moved to a differing location on site.
Mayor Grant stated the temporary classrooms were approved by the City previously and were
allowed until October 2012.
Councilmember Holmes asked if all four of the temporary classrooms would be used during
Phase I and Phase II of the construction.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 8
Mr. Trainer stated the classrooms near the Phase II construction site would not be used as
classrooms, but would be used as a construction office. The two classrooms relocated to the north
parking lot would remain in use. He explained the temporary classrooms were high quality and
offered the students the most up to date technology. He did not object to the addition of
Condition#8.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to
add Condition#8 stating: The two temporary classrooms located on
the Phase II site will be removed from the campus prior to the issuance
of a building permit for Phase IL
Councilmember Werner questioned the age of the temporary classroom buildings.
City Planner Beekman stated the classrooms were placed on the campus in 2004.
AMENDMENT VOTE:
The motion carried (3-2) (Tamble and Werner opposed).
Mayor Grant asked if the proposed construction fit into the recent planning process that was
undertaken by Bethel University. He questioned if Bethel had any other large construction
projects planned for the near future.
Mr. Trainer stated the proposed construction was the foundation of this planning process. He
noted the recent quarterly trustee meeting approved of the proposed plan. He anticipated
reconstruction of residence halls along with maintenance of current buildings in the near future.
Councilmember Holden expressed concern with the building height. She encouraged Bethel
University to follow the City's requirements in the future.
The motion as amended carried unanimously (5-0).
C. Planning Case 12-008—Cub Foods PUD Amendment
City Planner Beekman stated SuperValu was requesting an amendment to the PUD that would
allow for a drive-up window for the pharmacy inside the building. The drive-up window would
be located on the south side of the building and would require minor modifications to the existing
parking lot. As part of the application, SuperValu was also requesting an amendment to the
signage plan for the building. The applicant is proposing to replace the current pharmacy sign on
the front of the building with one that would indicate the presence of the drive-up. The proposal
includes a request to add an additional sign over the drive-up window on the south side of the
building. Staff feels the additional signs were excessive and that adequate signage can be
accommodated within the sign allotment on the building.
City Planner Beekman reviewed the submitted site plan noting the planned revisions to the
exterior of the building and discussed the elevations depicting the sign adjustments being
requested. The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 12-008 on May 9, 2012, and
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 9
unanimously recommend approval of the CUP amendment with conditions. She then discussed
the findings of fact and recommended the Council approve the Conditional Use Permit
Amendment with three conditions.
Councilmember Holmes asked if the applicant would be allowed to have a sign at the pharmacy.
City Planner Beekman stated this would be allowed, however the applicant would need to
reconfigure its existing signage to stay within 718 square feet.
Councilmember Holmes was not opposed to allowing the applicant additional signage on the
south side of the property.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the three parking stalls adjacent to the drive-thru were
necessary.
City Planner Beekman deferred this question to the applicant. She did not have a concern with
the location of these parking spaces.
Mayor Grant suggested this area be used for cart return and handicap parking.
Councilmember Holden recommended these three parking stalls be removed for safety reasons.
Councilmember Holmes also recommended the road between the drive-thru and the parking be
one-way for safety purposes. She suggested the parking flow be reviewed. She expressed
concern with the traffic count numbers as well.
Mayor Grant commented the site could service the amount of drive-thru traffic anticipated at this
location. He did not feel a one-way was necessary.
Further discussion ensued regarding the parking and traffic patterns through the parking lot.
Councilmember Holden asked if the applicant was requesting an awning or an overhang at the
drive-thru.
City Planner Beekman stated an overhang was being requested and would stick out six feet from
the building and would be the same height as the overhangs over the main doors on the front of
the building. She commented the original plans do not indicate there would be an overhang, but
additional plans have been submitted by the applicant.
Councilmember Holden questioned why the overhang was placed so high on the building.
City Planner Beekman deferred this question to the applicant.
Douglas Paquay, Senior Project Manager, stated the overhang height matched the current
storefront entry. This proposed overhang would match the existing architectural style.
Councilmember Holden did not approve of the drive-thru architecture.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 t0
Mayor Grant explained this side of the building was considered "plain" when it was first
approved by the Council. He noted the drive-thru did break up the side of this building. He
questioned how the applicant would allot its signage given the 718 square foot stipulation.
Mr. Paquay stated he would reduce the pharmacy sign by 54 square feet along with the
eliminating the word"Discount" from the Cub Discount Liquor.
Councilmember Holden requested clarification on the proposed size of the drive-thru pharmacy
overhang. She expressed concern with the size of the overhang given the size of the building.
Mr. Paquay stated the overhang would be 30 feet by 18 feet and 10 feet off the ground.
Councilmember Holden asked what the applicant would do with the current lighting.
Mr. Paquay explained the existing lighting would be removed and replaced with three or four
downcast lights.
Councilmember Holmes indicated she was in favor of the pharmacy signage as presented by the
applicant.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 12-008 a Planned Unit Development
Amendment at 3717 Lexington Avenue based on the findings of fact and the
submitted plans with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall continue to abide by the conditions of approval listed
in Conditional Use Permit (#02-018) and any other approved permits.
2. The proiect shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as
amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these
plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and
approval by the Planning Commission.
3. The wall signage on the building shall not exceed 718 square feet.
Councilmember Holden recommended an additional condition be added, Condition #4 stating:
The applicant will eliminate the three parking spaces east of the drive-thru.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved to add Condition#4 stating: The.
applicant will eliminate the three parking spaces east of the drive-thru.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Councilmember Holmes questioned why the applicant proposed to keep these three parking
stalls.
Mr. Paquay commented the three parking spaces east of the drive-thru would assist in keeping
the parking count up. He did not object to eliminating these spaces.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 11
Councilmember Tamble was in favor of keeping the three parking spaces to the east of the drive-
thru.
Mayor Grant questioned how the Council would like to proceed with the signage. He was
encouraged that the word "Discount" would be removed from the liquor sign. He recommended
the sign requirements be increased in size to allow for the word "Cub" to be placed above the
pharmacy drive-thru.
Councilmember Tamble recommended the signage have continuity with other Cub Foods in the
metro area. He supported the recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding signage.
City Planner Beekman clarified that the Council can make a decision on the amount of square
footage of signage allowed, but not what the signage says. This would be determined by the
applicant.
Councilmember Holmes questioned what the sign square footage would be reduced to if the
word"Discount" were removed from Cub Discount Liquor.
City Planner Beekman estimated this would be approximately 800 square feet.
Mr. Paquay commented 800 square feet would be sufficient to meet the signage,needs for Cub
Foods with the drive-thru pharmacy.
Councilmember Tamble questioned if 778 square feet of signage was currently on this site.
City Planner Beekman stated this was the case between the fagade/wall signs and monument
sign.
Councilmember Holden asked how much_ additional signage was being requested by the
applicant.
City Planner Beekman stated an additional 163 square feet was being requested.
Mayor Grant was in favor of the applicant having the word "Cub" with the pharmacy drive-thru
sign.
Councilmember Holden was not in favor of the proposed sign on the pharmacy drive-thru.
Councilmember Holmes recommended the wall signage on the building shall not exceed 800
square feet.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Werner seconded
a motion revise Condition #3 to read: The wall signage on the building
shall not exceed 800 square feet.
Councilmember Tamble supported the increase.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 12
AMENDMENT VOTE:
The motion carried (4-1) (Holden opposed).
Councilmember Werner asked if the driving lane adjacent to the drive-thru would be two-way
traffic.
City Planner Beekman stated this would be the case.
Councilmember Holmes expressed concern with the traffic in this area but respected the opinion
of Staff on this matter.
Mayor Grant questioned the level of traffic anticipated at the site.
Larry Walsh, Cub Pharmacy Manager,commented the level of traffic anticipated to be using
the drive-thru was approximately 10-15% of the total pharmacy business.
Councilmember Holmes requested further information on the hours of operation for the
pharmacy.
Mr. Walsh explained the pharmacy was open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. On
Saturday and Sunday the pharmacy was open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Councilmember Holden clarified the drive-thru would not be open 24 hours a day.
Mr. Walsh stated this was the case.
The motion as amended carried unanimously (5-0).
9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Website Redesign Project Update
Community Development Director Hutmacher stated on October 10, 2011, the Council
appointed a website ad hoc committee to work on a new City website. On February, 27, 2012,the
Council approved a contract with CivicPlus for the design, hosting and support for a new City
website. Since contract approval, the website ad hoc committee has been very busy and has met
every deadline set by CivicPlus. She reviewed the list of accomplishments to date as outlined in
the staff report.
Community Development Director Hutmacher discussed the website project schedule
identified by the ad hoc committee and CiviePlus. It was noted that if the City misses any
significant deadline, such as approval of final design (September 7) and submission of content
(September 28), the "go live" date would be delayed by at least three months due to the schedules
of other projects in CiviePlus' pipeline. Therefore, the ad hoc committee has been careful to
schedule adequate time for each phase of the project to secure the go live date. If all things go
according to plans,the new website would go live at 5:00 p.m. on December 7, 2012.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 13
Arlene Mitchell, Ad Hoc Committee member, reviewed several municipal websites completed
by CiviePlus and the global links that were chosen by the ad hoc committee members. She
discussed the graphic buttons that would provide quick links on the City's website and the topics
that would be accessed through these links. She commented the intention would be to eliminate
the need to scroll down through the site but keep the pages relevant, short and to the point.
Ms. Mitchell displayed a mock up of the City's home page with the Council as recommended by
the ad hoc committee.
Councilmember Holmes was pleased that the website would not require scrolling down. She
recommended that the website not contain too many graphics or pictures.
Ms. Mitchell stated that some websites are too word intensive, while others had too many
graphics. She indicated the ad hoc committee was committed to having the site be balanced and
truly reflect the City of Arden Hills.
Councilmember Tamble commented the sites with more photos were typically heavily tourist
towns.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the site would allow for bill paying for park and recreation
events along with utility bills.
Ms. Mitchell indicated the website would have the ability to do both. She then discussed the
department pages with the Council noting each may vary slightly but would have the same
continuity. The website navigation charts were being discussed in depth by the ad hoc committee.
Mayor Grant thanked Ms. Mitchell and the ad hoc committee for their work on this website
project and dedication to the City.
Councilmember Holden also thanked Ms. Mitchell and encouraged her to keep up the great
work.
Councilmember Tamble stated the committee was at the point that all the information has been
gathered and now the fun work was going to begin as all the pieces were coming together.
Ms. Mitchell indicated it was a pleasure to work on project that was going so well.
10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Holmes thanked City Planner Beekman for addressing the "No Right Turn" sign
posted near North Heights Church.
Councilmember Holden requested an update on the Presbyterian Homes triangle parcel. Staff
stated that they would investigate this matter further with Presbyterian Homes and report back to
the Council at a future meeting.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2012 14
Mayor Grant thanked the Public Works staff for their efforts during the recent storms. He
explained that Valentine Park was flooded in the recent storms and proper action has been taken
by the contractor to correct the problem.
Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson indicated the City's community
survey was now available on the website. She noted the upcoming newsletter had an article
regarding the survey that would direct residents to the City's website and encourage them to
complete the survey. A report would be presented to the City at the end of June with information
gathered from the survey and would then be passed along to the State Auditor.
Councilmember Holden thanked Staff for mowing the intersection at County Road 96 and
Lexington Avenue.
