panel discussion, small break-out groups will be held for facilitated discussion on the following
topics:
• Transportation and Access
• Commercial and Residential Development
• Active and Passive Open Space
• Energy and Sustainability
Community Development Director Hutmacher commented that this is a public event, but
RSVPs are requested so that the City can adequately plan for the number of tables, facilitators,
and note takers needed for the break-out groups. A notice has been posted on the City's website

Community Development Director Hutmacher indicated that the first open house event has
been scheduled for Tuesday, September 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and will be held in the Marsden
Conference Room. Because this event will be structured in the "open house" style, attendees may
arrive at any time that is convenient for them. Additional details regarding this event will be
available in August.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 4
7. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. TCAAP Development Discussion Opportunity for Residents
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.
Lyle Salmela, 1480 Arden Vista Court, explained that he has been following this project for the
past 10 years. He encouraged the City to be bold with the planning of this site. He supported the
existing amework and vision for the TCAAP project. He recommended the design be
g p J
sustainable to create a stable tax base, and requested that transportation and traffic be fully
thought through by the Council and City staff. It was his suggestion to have a large traffic hub at
County Road H.
Mr. Salmela presented the Council with a handout and then discussed a recent trip he took to
Europe. He encouraged the Council to consider a higher density footprint for retail as was seen
through his travels. He provided comment on a new development in Rosemount. He requested
solar and geothermal energy be considered for TCAAP. He wanted to see that the TCAAP
development be unique and stand out in the metro area. He recommended that the property have a
water tower with a viewing area as it would provide an incredible view of the downtown skyline.
Mr. Salmela suggested that the land be marketed both locally and nationally. This may bring in
larger tenants or corporations and ultimately, jobs to Arden Hills. He recommended the JDA
consider forming a task force committee. He then thanked the Council for their time.
Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:47 p.m.
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Planning Case 13-003 — 3833 Lexington Avenue Master Planned Unit
Development, Final PUD for Phase I, and Preliminary Plat
Community Development Intern Bachler stated that the applicant has requested approval of the
Master Planned Unit Development, Final Planned Unit Development of Phase I, and Preliminary
Plat of the Lexington Station redevelopment proposal. He explained that Roberts Development
Company owns the industrial warehouse building at 3771 Lexington Avenue that has been
converted to retail use, as well as the property at 1120 Red Fox Road. They recently closed on the
former Blue Fox property at 3833 Lexington Avenue, which consists of two parcels. The company
is in the process of platting the property to merge the two parcels together. The applicant is
proposing a multi-phased redevelopment at the southwest corner of Red Fox Road and Lexington
Avenue that would include all four parcels. In total, 7.57 acres would be included in the
redevelopment project.
Community Development Intern Bachler indicated that Phase I would include the demolition of
the Blue Fox Restaurant and the construction of an approximately 15,000 square foot retail
building for up to nine tenants. Two of the larger retail bays have been designed to accommodate
restaurant users. The site plan includes a drive-up window located on the northern side of the
building and outdoor seating areas in front of the two restaurant bays. The primary building fagade
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 5
would be oriented to the west towards what will become a larger retail center in Phase I1 and
Phase III. As part of Phase I, the applicant is proposing to remove the three access driveways on
the Blue Fox property. The Phase I building would share the driveways currently providing access
to 3771 Lexington Avenue and 1120 Red Fox Road.
Community Development Intern Bachler stated that Phase II of the Master PUD development
h existing building at 1120 Red Fox Road. The building would
would include a remodeling of the e
g g g g
be reoriented to face east towards the Phase I building. Additional parking would be constructed
for this phase as well. The building is currently used as office and light manufacturing space and
the applicant intends to repurpose the building for retail uses.
For Phase I1I, the existing building at 3771 Lexington Avenue would be demolished and three
new buildings would be constructed on the lot. Two of these buildings would be two-stories with
retail uses on the main floor and office uses above. The third building would be single-story with
all retail tenants. During Phase III, the applicant has proposed removing the existing driveway
access at 3771 Lexington Avenue and adding a new curb cut entrance at the southern end of this
property directly across from the Target southern drive access. Ramsey County would condition
this new access on the installation of necessary traffic control at the intersection.
Community Development Intern Bachler explained that the applicant is also requesting
Preliminary Plat approval for the site. Currently, the area that would comprise Phase I of the
development is divided between two separate parcels: 3833 and 3831 Lexington Avenue. The site
is being replatted in order to combine these two parcels.No subdivisions are taking place.
Community Development Intern Bachler stated that the applicant has requested a 20 foot front
property line setback for the Phase I building and for one of the buildings proposed for Phase III
of the development. Staff is favorable to this request given the unusually large County right of
way on Lexington Avenue, which measures approximately 55 feet in width from the Lexington
Avenue curb to the property line. The accessory structure proposed in Phase I would be situated
approximately three feet from the front and side property line. This structure will extend out from
a proposed retaining wall that will run along eastern and northern sides of the northeast corner of
the property. Staff is favorable to this proposal because the structure will be entirely screened
from view behind the retaining wall. The other four proposed buildings all meet the minimum
setback requirements.
Community Development Intern Bachler reviewed the special regulations for drive-up
windows in the B3 District along with the landscaping and tree preservation plan. It was noted
that 14 trees were required along the Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue right of way. He
noted that the City Code requires that off-street parking spaces be located at a minimum 20 feet
from the right-of-way of any public street. The row of parking spaces on the northern end of the
Phase I development are within approximately eight feet of the Red Fox Road right of way. Staff
is favorable to this proposal because the parking area will be adequately screened by tree plantings
and a retaining wall.
For the purpose of this application, staff calculated the gross retail sales space of the development
assuming 20 percent of total retail square footage would be used for non-sales purposes. This
same percentage was used by staff previously in Planning Case #09-011 when determining the
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 6
parking requirements for retail uses in the Arden Plaza Planned Unit Development. An additional
assumption was made that the two proposed restaurant tenants in the Phase I building would have
a total seating capacity of 90. A table was included in the staff memo outlining the parking
requirement numbers for the development. The employee parking proposed osed for Phase I would be
located off site on the adjacent properties. As a condition of approval, an agreement that provides
shared parking between the three properties, as well as shared ingress, egress, and maintenance of
these areas, will be required.
Community Development Intern Bachler believed that the proposed number of parking spaces
is reasonable. The applicant has given special consideration to the mix of tenants on the site to
support uses with staggered traffic periods during the day. Additionally, the inclusion of
sidewalks, crosswalks, and landscaping in the design of the parking lot will help facilitate
pedestrian mobility between buildings. This in turn will support the proposed shared parking
amongst the properties.
Community Development Intern Bachler explained that the building proposed for Phase I was
evaluated based on the additional design standards for the B3 District included in the City Code.
The Phase I building elevations were reviewed in detail with the Council. He commented that the
City Council and Planning Commission have previously expressed concern about the design of
the eastern side of the building. While traditionally this is where the primary building entrance
would be located, the building is oriented towards the interior of the site and the back of the
building faces Lexington Avenue. Staff has worked with the developer to ensure that this side of
the building is well designed. Awnings and light fixtures that have been included to break up the
facade and landscaping in the adjacent right of way will help partially screen the building.
Additionally, the developer has proposed constructing the facade entirely with brick and all
service doors will be painted to match the color of the brick used. The materials selected for the
trash enclosure were discussed.
Community Development Intern Bachler stated that the Planning Commission discussed this
item on June 19, 2013, and recommended approval of the Planning Case based on the submitted
plans and findings of fact, for a Master PUD, a Final PUD for Phase I, and a Preliminary Plat at
3833 Lexington Avenue. Staff recommends the following twenty-four conditions be included with

Mayor Grant thanked Community Development Intern Bachler for his presentation and asked
for Council comments and questions.
Councilmember Holmes asked how traffic would flow through the site to the drive-through.
Community Development Intern Bachler explained how vehicles would flow through the rear
portion of the property to the drive-through. He noted deliveries would be made from the front of
the building.
Councilmember Holden expressed concern with the landscaping plan as there were no trees on
her copy of the plan.
Community Development Intern Bachler discussed the location of the proposed trees on the
landscaping plan.
Christian Hendrie, HAF Architects, 233 South Main Street, Stillwater, reviewed the updated
landscaping plan in detail with the Council.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 9
Councilmember Holden recommended more trees be added to the east side of the building to
improve the landscaping plan and the appeal of this elevation.
Nick Roberts, Roberts Management Group, 1851 Buerkle Road, White Bear Lake, explained that
decorative lighting would be placed on this elevation to assist in breaking up the length of the east
elevation.
Mayor Grant asked if the rear side of the building would have tenant signage.
Mr. Roberts stated that the intent is to have signage on both the front and rear elevations.
Councilmember McClung provided comment on the discussion held by the Planning
Commission regarding signage. He stated that because the tenants were not final, the signage
requirements were unknown. He then expressed concern with the landscaping plan stating
additional plantings were needed on the east elevation. He wanted to see vertical planters added.
Mr. Roberts indicated that he could add vertical vines and planters.
Councilmember McClung indicated that the caliper inches of trees was short at this time by
almost 20 inches. This shortfall could be made up in Phase II of the development.
Mr. Roberts commented that this has been considered as the Phase II property does have some
existing mature trees and an additional line of trees could be added to the central corridor.
Councilmember Holmes questioned where the 25% greenspace within this development was
located.
Community Development Intern Bachler explained that the greenspace within the development
included all grass, landscaped areas, and planters. He reviewed this in further detail with the
Council.
Councilmember Werner questioned if the tenant leases took into account the Phase II build out
timeframe.
Mr. Roberts stated this would be taken into consideration as the new buildings were constructed.
Councilmember McClung asked if the applicant would support a condition requiring four
planters to the east building elevation.
Mr. Roberts commented that he would support this condition for approval.
Mayor Grant inquired when the sidewalks within the development would be completed.
Mr. Roberts stated that the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue and Red Fox Road would be
completed in Phase 1. He noted that the sidewalk would then be continued along Lexington
Avenue in Phase III.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 10
Mayor Grant asked why a green roof was selected for the trash enclosure.
Mr. Roberts stated this was discussed favorably with the Planning Commission.
Mayor Grant questioned if the applicant had a materials board for the Council to review.
Mr. Roberts presented the Council with a brick materials board stating that the brick coursing
would vary on the building to add architectural interest. He commented that the grout would be
gray in color. The mason stone used on the building was also reviewed.
Councilmember Holden asked if the applicant had spoken with the County regarding the traffic
study and access points.
Mr. Roberts explained that the County was willing to grant them access directly across from
Target if the current access point was forfeited. Further discussion ensued regarding the traffic
study.
MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 13-003 for a Master Planned Unit
Development, Final Planned Unit Development for Phase 1, and Preliminary
Plat of the Lexington Station Redevelopment Proposal at 3833 Lexington
Avenue based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by
the conditions in the July 8,2013, report to the City Council.
Mayor Grant asked for Council discussion on the motion.
Councilmember Holmes asked if any of the conditions addressed the sidewalk and right turn lane
easement along Lexington Avenue.
Community Development Intern Bachler stated that the right turn lane easement was addressed
in Condition 10. He indicated that the sidewalk would have to be constructed as noted on Phase I
of the site plan.
Councilmember Holden commented that it would be 10 years before the Phase III sidewalk was
installed. This would prohibit people from safely getting to Phase I. She encouraged the
applicant to install the entire sidewalk in Phase 1.
Mayor Grant was in favor of having a sidewalk running the full length of the property and
having this completed in Phase I.
Mr. Roberts explained that he did not want to have to incur the expense in Phase I for the entire
sidewalk if it had to be removed for side grading and construction in Phase III.
Mayor Grant understood this concern, but stated that the sidewalk did provide an amenity to the
tenants within the development and would draw people to the property.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 11
Councilmember Holmes questioned where the sidewalk was proposed to be completed in Phase
I.
Mr. Roberts reviewed the location of the Phase I sidewalk stating he would prefer to complete
the additional length within Phase III.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded an
amendment to have the signaze within the Lexington Avenue Master
PUD adhere to the B3 Zoning District and Sign District 6 standards.
Councilmember Werner stated that Phase I had a disadvantage as the rear of the building would
face Lexington Avenue.
Councilmember Holden commented that her amendment was addressing the fact that the
applicant did not have a finalized sign package for the Council to review.
Councilmember Holmes did not support this amendment as the applicant would require some
level of flexibility on the monument sign and future tenant signs.
Councilmember McClung understood the proposed amendment but also understood the future
tenants were unknown. This was the reason the sign plan was incomplete.
Mayor Grant stated that the applicant would come back to the Council with a sign plan once the
tenants were finalized. For this reason, he would not support the amendment.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the Master PUD could be approved with no sign plan.
Community Development Intern Bachler noted that a condition for approval required the
applicant to bring a final sign plan to the City at a future date.
The amendment failed (2-3) (Holmes, McClung and Mayor Grant
opposed).
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Mayor Grant seconded an
amendment to require the applicant to complete the entire length of
the sidewalks along Red Fox Road as shown in the Master PUD in
Phase I and that the applicant coordinate this project with Ramsey
County.
Councilmember McClung agreed with the intent of this amendment but felt it would be
burdensome to the applicant.
Councilmember Holden supported the sidewalk completion on Lexington Avenue.
Mr. Roberts was in favor of completing the sidewalk along Red Fox Road as shown in Phase II,
but requested the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue stop at the driveway entrance as shown on the
Phase I plan.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 8, 2013 12
Councilmember Holmes and Councilmember Holden supported this request.
Councilmember McClung questioned if the Lexington Avenue sidewalk could be completed by
the City and be assessed back to the applicant.
Community Development Director Hutmacher believed this could be done by the City.
The amendment failed (0-5).
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung
seconded an amendment to require the applicant to complete the
sidewalks in Phase I and Phase II as shown in the Master PUD in
Phase I and that the applicant coordinate this project with Ramsey
County.
The amendment carried (5-0).
Mayor Grant requested this amendment be added as Condition 25 for approval.
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung
seconded an amendment to require the applicant to work with staff
and add four additional planters or planting areas with vegetation on
the east side of the Phase I building.
The amendment carried (5-0).
Mayor Grant requested this amendment be added as Condition 26 for approval.
The motion carried as amended
