STAFF COMMENTS – 3B MEMORANDUM Approved: CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 26, 2015 6:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Grant called to order the special City Council work session at 6:04 p.m. Present: Mayor David Grant; Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Fran Holmes, Dave McClung, and Robert Woodburn Absent: None Also present: City Administrator Patrick Klaers; City Attorney Joel Jamnik; Director of Finance and Administrative Services Sue Iverson; Assistant City Engineer John Anderson; Community Development Director Jill Hutmacher; City Planner Ryan Streff; Associate Planner Matthew Bachler; and City Clerk Amy Dietl 1. AGENDA ITEMS A. Economic Development – Business Retention Strategies City Administrator Klaers stated that the Council needed to discuss business retention strategies. He noted that a local business was interested in an expansion project. He requested comments from the Council on possible financial incentives for this business. He stated that after speaking with Ehlers & Associates it was learned that TIF was not an option; however, tax abatement could be considered. He indicated that the City should make an offer to show its commitment to business retention. This business was hoping to have an offer to review by early June. He encouraged the Council to consider offering a tax abatement on the new growth. Councilmember Holden asked if there would be more than one new building with this project. She questioned when the 20-year tax abatement would begin. City Administrator Klaers reported that the discussions have been about one new building and one new parking structure. He explained that the 20 years would likely begin when the building was fully occupied. Mayor Grant inquired if staff had any information on the proposed building height. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – MAY 26, 2015 2 Community Development Director Hutmacher discussed the proposed building height with the Council. Mayor Grant did not object to the building height given the proposed location. Councilmember Woodburn hoped that the current green space buffer would remain around the site. Councilmember Holden asked if the City had an understanding of the footprint of the new building. Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the City did not have this information. Councilmember Holden asked if staff knew what type of jobs and how many jobs would be created with the proposed expansion. Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that roughly 600 jobs would be created over the next 10 years. She understood that these jobs would be quite high paying, with a starting pay of approximately $60,000 per year. Mayor Grant discussed the potential growth expected for this business. Councilmember Woodburn provided comment on the expense to the City of providing tax abatement versus losing the business to another City. Councilmember Holmes understood that the City was willing to consider 20 years of tax abatement. She questioned what else the business was seeking from the City. City Administrator Klaers commented that the business was pursuing a certain dollar amount in order to help finance the project. He stated that at this time, the tax abatement would provide the business part of what they were hoping to receive for their expansion. He explained that if the County were to offer additional abatement, this could assist the business. He reported that after speaking with the business this afternoon, he believed that they wanted to remain in the City if provided a reasonable offer from the City and County. Councilmember McClung asked when the City would receive a commitment from the business. City Administrator Klaers explained that he didn’t know of a specific date. Councilmember Holmes questioned if the City could write a payback clause into the abatement contract that would require the business to pay back the City if it were to move outside of Arden Hills. City Administrator Klaers believed that a clause of this type could be written into the abatement documents. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – MAY 26, 2015 3 Councilmember McClung recommended that the business be encouraged to remain in Arden Hills. City Attorney Jamnik requested that the Council provide staff with direction on how to proceed. Councilmember McClung opposed staff proceeding with the tax abatement. Councilmember Holmes feared that the proposed tax abatement or other incentives would not work and, in the end, the City would be giving up tax revenue. Councilmember Holden supported the City offering the business tax abatement in order to keep them in Arden Hills. She valued the jobs that this business offered to the community. Councilmember Woodburn was opposed to the 20-year tax abatement length. However, he could support it in order to keep the company in Arden Hills. Mayor Grant was in favor of offering the tax abatement and hoped that the County would be assisting with the offer. He provided comment on the importance of business retention and feared how Arden Hills would be impacted if this business were to move out of the community. It was his opinion that it was in the City’s best interest to move forward with offering incentives for them to stay. Councilmember McClung questioned what would keep this business from coming back to the City and requesting further abatements. He expressed concern with how the City could be impacted by additional tax abatement requests. City Administrator Klaers stated that the City would be setting the bar very high by keeping this business in the community. This may assist the City in pulling other large companies to TCAAP. Based on the direction from Council, staff would continue to work on this matter with the City Attorney. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES None. ADJOURN Mayor Grant adjourned the special City Council work session at 6:55 p.m. __________________________ __________________________ Amy Dietl David Grant City Clerk Mayor Approved: CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10, 2015 7:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor David Grant called to order the regular City Council meeting at 7:00 p.m. Present: Mayor David Grant, Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Fran Holmes, Dave McClung, and Robert Woodburn Absent: None Also present: City Administrator Patrick Klaers; Director of Finance and Administrative Services Sue Iverson; Public Works Director Terry Maurer; and City Clerk Amy Dietl PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 1.

Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) Update City Administrator Klaers stated that the City Council approved the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) and the Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) on Monday, July 13, 2015. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment has been submitted to adjacent municipalities and affected jurisdictions for the 60-day review process. Following the affected jurisdiction review, the Metropolitan Council will have an additional 60 days to review and comment on the document. The City has received responses from the City of Mounds View, the Mounds View School ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 10, 2015 2 District, and MnDOT. The City of Mounds View and the School District had no comments on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. MnDOT had minor comments which will be forwarded to the Metropolitan Council. B. Joint Development Authority (JDA) Update City Administrator Klaers reported that the JDA met on August 3, 2015. At this meeting the JDA discussed the joint governance model with JDA Attorney Mike Norton. In addition, the TRC and the CPA approval timeline were discussed. C. Transportation Update Public Works Director Maurer reported that 35W will be closed tonight between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, August 11th to allow beams to be set on the Highway 96 bridge. He expected that traffic would be switched over to the north half of the new bridge in several weeks in order for the old bridge to be taken down. Public Works Director Maurer explained that the old County Road F bridge over 35W has been removed. Public Works Director Maurer stated that the County Road E bridge is complete except for minor concrete and signal work. He commented that MnDOT will open this bridge once the signals are in place. Public Works Director Maurer indicated that the improvements along County Road E are slightly delayed due to a gas main that was struck and then found to be too shallow. Xcel will lower the gas line and the mill and overlay will be completed after the gas line work is completed. Public Works Director Maurer reported that relocation of small utilities work will be completed on Lexington Avenue this fall. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. June 29, 2015, Regular City Council B.

County Road H/I-35W Interchange – Municipal Consent Public Works Director Maurer stated that Ramsey County is seeking municipal consent for the County Road H/I-35W interchange. He introduced Beth Engum, Ramsey County, and stated that she had a presentation regarding the project. Beth Engum, Ramsey County, provided comment on the goals, objectives and proposed improvements for the County Road H interchange. She reported that pedestrian connections would be improved through this project and that the creek would be realigned. She reviewed the cost participation for the project and noted that the City’s costs would be approximately $200,000. Any additional amenities or bridge aesthetics would cost extra. The project timeline was discussed at length and it was noted that construction should begin in March of 2016. Councilmember Holden requested clarification on the pink lines within the proposed improvements plans. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 10, 2015 4 Ms. Engum provided clarification on the plans noting that some of the pink lines were the creek realignment, while others were trail segments. Councilmember Holden asked how big the shoulders would be on the north and south sides of the roadway. Ms. Engum explained that the shoulders would be five feet wide. Councilmember Holden inquired how the City of Mounds View acquired federal funding for the project. Ms. Engum reported that this was a very dangerous intersection in Mounds View and as such, it required signals which greatly assisted Mounds View in receiving federal dollars. Mayor Grant discussed how traffic would flow through the roundabout and to the Spine Road. Councilmember Holden questioned the capacity of the roundabout. Ms. Engum commented that the roundabout was designed to handle the full build out of TCAAP. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #2015-039, granting Municipal Consent for the County Road H/I-35W Interchange. Councilmember Holden questioned if there was a rush to approve this project, given the fact that the County has put TCAAP on hold. Public Works Director Maurer stated that he had asked MnDOT that question and their response was that the interchange would move forward due to needs of the interstate system regardless of the status of TCAAP. The motion carried (5-0). 8. NEW BUSINESS None. 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 10, 2015 5 Councilmember Holmes asked for the Council to discuss the comments from the City Attorney on antennas and the accessory use definition in City Code.

Mayor Grant reported that an article was being written to address the construction of Goodwill. Councilmember Holmes discussed the upcoming State of the City meetings and suggested that these meetings be posted on the City’s website as well as being announced in an upcoming newsletter.

Background/Overview of Request Boston Scientific is requesting a Site Plan Review to relocate the existing day care facility managed by New Horizon from the north side of Building 9 to the east side of Building 10. The relocation of the facility is needed in order to facilitate the planned interior remodel of the space within Building 9 to accommodate an expanded area for distribution and final packaging. The new facility proposed in Building 10 includes 8,500 square feet of interior space and a 3,150 square foot fenced outdoor play area. Three (3) infant rooms, two (2) toddler rooms, three (3) pre-school rooms, and an indoor play area now required for muscle development will be constructed inside the new day care facility. A new building entrance, sidewalk, stoop, and ramp will also be constructed to provide direct access to the proposed day care facility. CONSENT ITEM – 5C City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for August 31, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-017 - Boston Scientific - Site Plan Review\Memos_Reports_15-017 Page 2 of 6 The proposed project includes the removal of a small parking lot consisting of eleven (11) parking spaces adjacent to the east side of Building 10. The eleven (11) spaces being removed will be added to the existing one hundred and twenty-five (125) spaces that are currently striped along Innovation Way for a total of one hundred and thirty-six (136) spaces. Of the one hundred and thirty-six (136) spaces, twenty-six (26) will be moved to the west side of Innovation Way to provide a parking area for parent drop-off. Approximately 5,550 square feet of bituminous parking space and sidewalk area will be removed to provide for the installation of the new outdoor play area and concrete sidewalk. The applicant has submitted a project narrative describing the request (Attachment C) and a development plan set (Attachment D) indicating the existing and proposed conditions of the property. Plan Evaluation 1. Zoning Regulations A. Site Plan Review – Site Plan Approval Required A Site Plan Review is required by the City’s Zoning Code for the reorganization of parking, drives and entrances and new development or additions within any industrial district. The applicant is proposing to remove a small parking lot area consisting of one driveway and eleven (11) parking spaces adjacent to the east side of Building 10 in order to create the new outdoor play area for the day care facility. 2. Section 1320 – District Provisions A. Lot Size, Structure Coverage, and Landscaping The lot is in conformance with the I-1 Zoning District requirements in terms of minimum lot area, depth, and width. The maximum structure coverage allowed in this district is 30 percent and the minimum landscape coverage is 35 percent. The Boston Scientific Campus would satisfy the landscaping requirement with 55.23 percent coverage at full build-out but requires flexibility for structure coverage. Planning Case 15-001 granted Boston Scientific the flexibility to increase the structure coverage on the campus to 30.06 percent.

Background/Overview of Request Boston Scientific is requesting a Site Plan Review to relocate the existing day care facility managed by New Horizon from the north side of Building 9 to the east side of Building 10. The relocation of the facility is needed in order to facilitate the planned interior remodel and reconfiguration of the space within Building 9 to accommodate an expanded area for distribution and final packaging. The new facility and expansion in Building 10 will allow the day care to comply with current state regulations. The existing day care within Building 9 has approximately 7,500 square feet of interior space and includes a fenced outdoor play area of 2,400 square feet. The new facility proposed in Building 10 includes 8,500 square feet of interior space and a 3,150 square foot fenced outdoor play area. Three (3) infant rooms, two (2) toddler rooms, three (3) pre-school rooms, and an indoor play area now required for muscle development will be constructed inside the new day care facility. A new building entrance, sidewalk, stoop, and ramp will also be constructed to provide direct access to the proposed day care facility. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-017 - Boston Scientific - Site Plan Review\Memos_Reports_15-017 Page 2 of 7 The proposed project includes the removal of a small parking lot consisting of eleven (11) parking spaces adjacent to the east side of Building 10.

Site and Aerial Map MEMORANDUM COMM. NO.: 613101211 CLIENT: Boston Scientific PROJECT: Day Care Relocation SUBJECT: Land Use Application Narrative MEMO BY: Judd Brasch, RSP Architects DATE: July 6, 2015 (Revised July 27, 2015) ATTENTION: Ryan Streff, City Planner, City of Arden Hills COPY: Emily Colletti, Boston Scientific Boston Scientific is planning to relocate its existing New Horizon managed Day Care Facility from Building 9, at the north edge of the campus ,to Building 10, in the center of the Arden Hills Campus. The relocation will help facilitate the planned interior reconfiguration of existing distribution and manufacturing space and allow the expansion of the day care to comply with current state day care guidelines. The existing day care is approximately 7,300 SF of interior space located at the north east corner of the ground floor of Building 9, with a fenced exterior play area to the north. The relocated facility will be approximately 8,500 SF and contain the same child care program of three infant rooms, two toddler rooms, and three pre-school rooms with the addition of a new indoor play area now required for large muscle development. The new facility will be located in the central area of the east side of the ground floor of Building 10. A new fenced exterior play area will also be built along the east side of the day care. A new building entrance directly into the day care will require a new concrete stoop with a ramped concrete side walk for accessibility. Approximately 5,550 SF of bituminous and sidewalk will be removed to allow for the installation of 3,125 SF of resilient exterior play surface and 1,880 SF of concrete side walk for a net decrease of 550 SF of impervious surface. The existing fence and play equipment will be removed from the current exterior play area (approximately 3,000 SF). Three new 3” boulevard trees matching the existing species will be planted along Innovation Way. Five new shrubs will be planted to screen the existing electrical transformer. The day care relocation and bituminous removal will eliminate 11 existing parking stalls adjacent to the east side of the building. The north curb cut in the existing dive through configuration will be eliminated. The eleven eliminated stalls will be added to the 125 stalls currently stripped along innovation way making the total 136 spaces. We are proposing to leave the 50 stalls as striped both sides of the road, south of Boston Scientific Drive; leaving as striped the 55 stalls along the east side of the road north of the enclosed walkway crossing. In the area north of Boston Scientific Drive and south side of the enclosed MEMORANDUM Day Care Relocation July 6, 2015 Page 2 walkway crossing we propose to relocate/restripe the 20 current spaces from the east side of the road to the west side of the road and add the 6 spaces because of the elimination of the north drive curb cut. This will provide parent drop-off spaces directly adjacent to the new 8 foot wide concrete side walk along the day care zone. The Rice Creek Watershed District does not require Stormwater Management or Erosion & Sedimentation Control permits for projects that involve less than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface (Rule C: 2.(a)) or disturbance of vegetative cover (Rule D: 2.(a., 2)). The proposed project will include elimination of 550 square feet of impervious surface, since the construction replaces an existing paved area. Disturbance of vegetated areas will be only that needed for excavation of new stoop foundation and sidewalks. This total area of disturbance is estimated at 5,500 square feet. 0 0 Name Elevation ELEVATION / LEVEL TAG 1 REVISION REFERENCE MATCH LINE SEE X/XXX MATCH LINE XX X X PARTITION TAG T.O.

Background/Discussion Ramsey County is leading the design and reconstruction of the Hwy 96/I-35W Interchange. The project is well under construction is planned to open completely to traffic by the end of the year. The attached Cooperative Agreement, which has been reviewed by the City Attorney, spells out the City’s financial contribution to the project and the City’s long term maintenance responsibility. The City’s financial contribution is estimated at $83,723.30 and includes overhead (this is significantly lower than the $150,000 estimated in the initial stages of project development). The City is being asked to pay for a portion of various items according to Ramsey County’s Cost Participation Policy plus an overhead percentage. The only long term maintenance items are similar to other segments of Highway 96; maintenance of the concrete sidewalk on the north side of the highway, painting of the traffic signals when needed and maintenance of the emergency preemption system. Staff would recommend approval of the Cooperative Agreement PUBW2015-04(R). Attachments Attachment A: Cooperative Agreement PUBW2015-04(R) CONSENT ITEM – 5D MEMORANDUM Page 1 of 2 DATE: August 31, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Farnsworth Encroachment Agreement Requested Action Approve the Farnsworth Encroachment Agreement for the property located at 1487 Lametti Lane and direct the Mayor and City Administrator to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City. Background/Discussion Mr. Farnsworth is constructing a new home at 1487 Lametti Lane and desires to make improvements to the lakeshore area that include a boulder retaining wall and creation of a beach area. The City has an existing 20 foot wide Utility Easement for a sanitary sewer line that covers part of the lakeshore area Mr. Farnsworth would like to improve. Through discussions with Mr. Farnsworth, City staff and the City Attorney prepared the attached Encroachment Agreement allowing Mr. Farnsworth to improve this portion of his property while protecting the ability of the City to operate and maintain the existing sanitary sewer line. The Council discussed the Encroachment Agreement at a Work Session meeting on August 17, 2015. Based on Council direction and consultation with the City Attorney, the following changes have been made to the final Agreement: 1. All paragraphs have been reviewed to ensure they refer to the “Farnsworths, its successors and assigns”. 2. The sentence in Paragraph #4 that referred to “To the extent the Farnsworths are unsatisfied….” has been removed. 3. Paragraph #9 has been added stating the Farnsworths are responsible to obtain any and all other permits and/or approvals to do their work. CONSENT ITEM – 5E MEMORANDUM Page 2 of 2 Staff would recommend approval of the attached Agreement and the City Attorney’s office will ensure the fully executed document is recorded against the Farnsworth’s property. Attachments Attachment A: Encroachment Agreement Page 1 of 2 DATE: August 31, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Night Work Construction Activity Waiver County Road E Improvements Requested Action Approve the Night Time Construction Activity Waiver for the County Road E mill and overlay portion of the project between Tuesday, September 1 and Friday, September 4, 2015. Background/Discussion The mill and overlay portion of the County Road E improvements was originally scheduled to be completed during the daytime hours the week of August 10 prior to the CR E Bridge opening. A problem with the depth of a gas main located at the southeast corner of CR E/Lexington Avenue and further to the east along CR E required that the mill and overlay be postponed. After the lowering of that gas main, the curb and gutter had to be poured which pushed out the earliest date for the mill and overlay to the end of the week of August 24 which coincides with the start of the State Fair and increased traffic due to the Park and Rides located on Pine Tree Drive and Harriet Avenue. Staff suggested to the contractor that they consider a night time (two nights) operation to mill the street one night and overlay it the next night to minimize impacts to the local businesses and create a safer environment considering the increased State Fair traffic. City Ordinance does allow for a Waiver to the Ordinance to allow night time operations. The specific wording of the Ordinance is reproduced below: Section 630 - Construction Activities 630.01 Prohibited Activities. No person shall engage in or permit construction activities involving the use of any kind of electric, diesel or gas powered machine or other power equipment except between the hours of NEW BUSINESS – 8A MEMORANDUM Page 2 of 2 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any weekday or between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any weekend or holiday. 630.10 Prohibited Activities. Except as allowed by permit of the City Council, no person shall engage in or permit construction activities involving the use of any kind of electric, diesel or gas powered machine or other power equipment except between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any weekday or between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any weekend or holiday. Upon application for a waiver and notification to all properties within 500 feet from the property line at least ten days prior to the City Council meeting, the City Council may grant a permit waiving the requirements of this Section for maintenance activities and may impose reasonable conditions to it. Park Construction, the County Road E contractor, has applied for a waiver to perform night time work on Monday August 31 through Friday (until Saturday morning) September 4. Their plan is to schedule the work for Monday and Tuesday with the remainder of the week as a backup if weather requires the work to be postponed. The milling and paving would begin late in the evening and run into the morning hours (approximately 9:00 or 10:00 a.m.). Park Construction’s application is attached. Also attached is the letter City staff sent to properties within 500 feet of County Road E as required by the Ordinance. Finally, attached is a map showing the properties that were notified. As of the preparation of this memo, the only property City staff has heard from was Bethel University who had some clarifying questions but has no problem with the request.

Background The City approved a Master PUD for the Arden Plaza retail center at County Road E and Lexington Avenue in 2009 (Planning Case 09-011). The approved plans included the demolition of an existing office building and the phased redevelopment of the site to be completed in three stages. A total of 97,035 square feet of retail and commercial building space was approved at the time. For each successive phase of the redevelopment, a Final PUD plan is required to verify general conformance with the Master PUD and to provide more detailed development plans for the phase to be implemented. The Master PUD was amended in 2011 to include a revised subdivision plan and updated development plans for the existing Walgreens Pharmacy (Planning Case 11-016). Phase I of the Master PUD was completed in 2012, and included the construction of the Walgreens building, modifications to parking and circulation within the retail center, and the construction of stormwater basins required for the proposed build-out of the site. City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for August 31, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 1 of 8 The City approved a second amendment to the Master PUD and a Preliminary Plat in March 2015 for the subdivision of Lot 3, where the existing retail center is located, into three smaller lots (Planning Case 15-002). Planning Case 15-002 also included modifications to the retail center parking lot and an increase in the Phase III building footprint. The new plat is titled Arden Plaza 2nd Addition, and Lot 1 within the plat is proposed for the Tavern Grill development. The Master PUD specifically identifies the Lexington Avenue site where the Tavern Grill development is proposed as Phase III. It should be noted that Phase II of the Master PUD has not yet been completed. Phase II will include the development of the parcel on County Road E adjacent to the Walgreens pharmacy for a 6,000 square foot user. Arden Plaza, LLC continues to market this site to potential buyers and tenants. Overview of Request Hemisphere Restaurant Partners has requested a Final PUD for Phase III of the Arden Plaza Master PUD to develop Lot 1, Arden Plaza 2nd Addition for a sit-down restaurant called the Tavern Grill Restaurant and Bar. The Master PUD Site Plan shows Phase III being developed as a 20,136 square foot retail building. The proposal by Hemisphere Restaurant Partners would result in an overall lower density development on the site than what was originally approved for Phase III. The development plans are in substantial conformance with the Master PUD plans. Hemisphere currently operates three Tavern Grills in the Twin Cities metro, with locations in Edina, Woodbury, and Blaine. The proposed Tavern Grill in Arden Hills would be similar to these other restaurants and would provide a relaxed, up-scale atmosphere. The development would include the restaurant building, which would have a footprint of 9,500 square feet, and an attached 3,050 square foot outdoor patio area for seasonal seating. The proposed site design orients the front of the restaurant towards the other buildings within the Arden Plaza retail center. The main entrance would be located at the southwest corner of the building and feature a prominent tower comprised primarily of transparent glass. The exterior materials on the building would include stucco, stone, and wood, and each façade would have at least 20 percent transparent window coverage. A variety of shade and ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennial plantings would be focused around the perimeter of the building and patio area and would also provide screening of trash collection and utility areas. Safe pedestrian connections will be created with sidewalks that connect to the public sidewalk on Lexington Avenue and the internal sidewalks within the retail center. Plan Evaluation A full evaluation of the proposal was presented to the Planning Commission at their regular meeting on August 5, 2015. The staff report to the Planning Commission on this case is included as Attachment I. The Planning Commission recommended that the developer provide additional City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for August 31, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 2 of 8 landscaping along the driveway to better screen the service entrance and trash collection area at the rear of the building. The Landscape Plan has since been updated to include 13 Arborvitae plantings along the driveway (Attachment D). The following section provides a summary of the areas where flexibility is needed from the underlying Zoning Code standards through the PUD process. The proposal exceeds the Zoning Code requirements in several areas, including perennial planting coverage and window transparency coverage. Building Materials For properties in the B-2 District, at least 75 percent of exterior building materials are required to be brick or tile masonry, stone, decorative concrete plank, or transparent glass. Accent materials may include metal, wood, split faced block, stucco, or EIFS. Approximately 40 percent of the building façade area would be stucco. Of the remaining façade area, stone would comprise 21 percent, transparent glass 21 percent, and wood 15 percent. Stucco would be used primarily on the kitchen and upper portions of the building and a higher percentage of stone, wood, and transparent glass would be used on the bar and dining portions of the building. The applicant has noted that stucco would provide a more neutral building material that will accentuate the stone and wood materials. Also addressed in the narrative is the application process that would be used for the stucco to ensure its long-term durability. The Planning Commission was supportive of the proposed building materials. Building Design At least 50 percent of the largest building on each site is required to be constructed at the front setback line of 20 feet. In this case, the Tavern Grill would be located 36.2 feet from the front setback line along Lexington Avenue. Given the elevation difference between Lexington Avenue and the development site, there are existing conditions that prevent the applicant from satisfying this requirement. Parking Parking requirements are determined by the type of land use proposed for a site. For restaurant uses, one parking space is required for every two seats. The Tavern Grill would include 256 permanent indoor seats and approximately 106 seasonal outdoor seats. Based on the required ratio, 181 parking stalls would need to be provided. The Zoning Code does not distinguish between indoor and outdoor seating, but a lower parking requirement for the outdoor seating may be appropriate considering this will only be a seasonal use. The proposal includes the construction of ten parking stalls on the lot, as shown in the Master PUD. However, an existing Reciprocal Easement Agreement that covers the separate lots within the retail center provides for shared parking across the entire site. With the completion of Phase III, a total of 405 parking stalls could be used by Tavern Grill customers. The majority of these stalls would be within 400 feet of the entrance to the restaurant. City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for August 31, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 3 of 8 The applicant has noted that shopping centers typically rely on a parking ratio of 4.0 stalls per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area. This is supported by a study completed by the National Parking Association and the Urban Land Institute, titled Dimensions of Parking, which recommends 4.0 – 4.5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building space in shopping centers less than 600,000 square feet in size. According to the Parking Generation study completed by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (4th Edition), the average peak parking demand for shopping centers is 2.04 to 2.94 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of building area, depending on the day of the week. At the 85th percentile, the study showed demand of 2.39 to 3.90 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of building area. The 405 parking stalls that would be provided at the retail center equates to a ratio of 4.96 stalls per 1,000 square feet of gross building square footage. The Planning Commission was supportive of staff’s conclusion that 405 parking stalls will be adequate to accommodate demand following the completion of Phase III. Going forward, staff recommends that the City evaluate parking needs for the retail center based on the ratio in the Dimensions of Parking study of 4.0 – 4.5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building space. This will allow for an easier evaluation of parking needs for Phase II of the Master PUD and any future redevelopment on the site. Once all three phases have been completed, the retail center will include 440 parking stalls, which will be a ratio of 5.25 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building space. Traffic Study and Transportation Improvements A traffic study was completed in 2007 to evaluate the full build-out of the Arden Plaza retail center. An additional study was completed in 2008 in conjunction with the B-2 District Guiding Plan that looked at the redevelopment of Arden Plaza in addition to other development opportunities along County Road E. The Phase III development proposal is in substantial conformance with the development scenarios evaluated in these traffic studies and an additional study was not requested at this time. The application does not propose any alterations to the internal circulation plan as shown in the previously approved Master PUD. As part of the City’s approval of the Master PUD in 2009, Arden Plaza was required to construct certain transportation improvements. One condition was that the development of Phase III would be contingent on the construction of a traffic signal located 650 feet west of the County Road E and Lexington Avenue intersection. This traffic signal was proposed as part of the transportation improvements included in the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District. The signal was recommended based on the assumption that the Holiday Inn site north of Arden Plaza would be redeveloped into a 95 apartment unit building and a 120,000 square foot office building. The 2007 Arden Plaza traffic study did not indicate that a new signal would be warranted. At the time, Ramsey County also did not support the traffic signal due to spacing between the Lexington Avenue intersection and the proposed signal. City staff discussed the Phase III development plans with the Ramsey County Public Works Department and a letter from the County addressing traffic control on County Road E has been City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for August 31, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 4 of 8 included in Attachment F. The letter notes that the recently completed County Road E improvements include a dedicated left-turn lane to serve Arden Plaza and restricted turns from the property to the north. The County believes that these initiatives will adequately serve the expected traffic and that a traffic signal at Arden Plaza is not needed at this time. The City will continue to monitor traffic operations along County Road E and additional transportation improvements may be required for Phase II of the Arden Plaza Master PUD. Additional Review City Engineer and Building Official The City Engineer and City Building Official have reviewed the submitted plans and did not have any comments at this time. Ramsey County Public Works Department The Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed the plans and provided staff with comments in the letter dated July 9 , 2015 (Attachment G). Lake Johanna Fire Department The Lake Johanna Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans and provided staff with his comments in the letter dated July 13, 2015 (Attachment G). Final plans shall be subject to approval by the Fire Marshall prior to the issuance of a building permit Rice Creek Watershed District Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is currently reviewing a permit application for the development proposal. Rain gardens on the north and east sides of the site have been added to address on-site stormwater management requirements. A RCWD permit will be required prior to the issuance of any development permits. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 15-016 at their regular meeting on August 5, 2015. Draft minutes from the meeting are included in Attachment J. The Planning Commission offers the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. Hemisphere Restaurant Partners has requested approval of a Final PUD for Phase III of the Arden Plaza Master PUD on Lot 1, Arden Plaza 2nd Addition. 2.

The 2009 approved master plan included 97,035 sf of retail/commercial buildings (including a 3,917 sf mezzanine for the Frattallone’s Hardware store offices) and had originally subdivided the parcels into four lots. In 2011, two of the lots in the northeast corner were combined and platted as a single lot, for a development of a Walgreen’s pharmacy, thus 3 lots were officially platted in 2011 showing four building masses involving the Arden Plaza Plat. Phase 1 Construction of the Arden Plaza site included the Walgreen’s building and parcel (Lot 1 in the northeast corner), and included the implementation of the four required storm water rain gardens (bio-filtration basins) for the full development, along with modified parking and circulation improvements involving the northeast parcel. In 2015, an Amended PUD, Platting, and Conditional Use Permit(Frattallone’s Garden Center) was approved by the City reflecting the request to further subdivide the larger Lot 3 parcel(existing strip mall) into three new lots, primarily for Frattallone’s to own their own site and to create a separate development pad along Lexington. This new plat, which is in process of being recorded, is being identified as Arden Plaza 2nd Addition (Lot 1-3). Lot 1(Tavern Grill restaurant) is the future development parcel along Lexington Avenue, and is the area being proposed by this application. Lot 2 is the existing strip mall with related general parking, access drives, and regional storm pond, while Lot 3 is the Frattallone’s Hardware site. The Amended PUD provided some parking reductions and building square footage reallocations, based on the completed Phase 1 Improvements(Walgreen’s) Final Planned Unit Development(PUD) This application is specifically involving the final development plan for Lot 1, Block 1, Arden Plaza 2 nd Addition(Lexington Avenue parcel), involving a sit down restaurant called Tavern Restaurant. The intent of the Final PUD is to verify general conformance of the development plans to the previous approved 2015 PUD. Notable variations are highlighted below. Use and size of the building is most notable. The current proposed use is a 9,500 SF sit down restaurant with a 3,050 SF outdoor patio versus the previous approved 20,136 SF retail building, along with the service area moving from the south end of the building to the north. This 10,636 SF building reduction has also reduced impervious surface. The restaurant has 256 permanent seats, along with approximately 106 seasonal outdoor patio seats. Parking has remained the same at 440 spaces(4.53/1000sf) for the shopping center, but since the proposed use has changed to a restaurant, the parking ratio requirements tend to be different than straight retail. Previous City Staff parking calculations assumed 107 parking spaces associated with the 2 20,136 SF building. This is based on 16,109 retail floor space(80% of total, which excludes storage, bathrooms, and similar space) at 1 space per 150 sf. Restaurant parking is calculated to be around 128 spaces, based on 1 space per 2 seats for the permanent seating, which is a difference of 21 spaces. Code does not address seasonal outdoor seating as part of the requirements, and believe that recent restaurant developments in the City of Arden Hills has not included these within their parking requirements. Industry thoughts are that seasonal outdoor seating does not necessary translate to increased customers, but generally helps reduce wait times for the customer. The goal of a Planned Unit Development and related shared parking(through the Reciprocal Easement Agreement) is to help navigate some flexibility for the mixed tenant use, so as not to focus on specific individual code requirements, but to look at the development as a whole and what is needed. In this case we have noted a few things to consider involving parking. First, the individual parking ratio requirements for each use seems to be a little high compared to neighboring communities. Reviewing adjacent Roseville and Shoreview, there seems to be some notable differences. ·Roseville: Retail=1/325 gross sales floor, General Merchandiser=1/500 gross sales floor, Restaurant= 1/3 seats. Some districts allowing 20% general parking reduction and also offer some different transit reductions. ·Shoreview: Retail=1/181 gross sales floor, Restaurant=1/3 seats. Noted that Target has reduced its parking to below 4.2/1000sf to allow for a new pad development along Lexington Avenue. ·Crystal: Shopping Center = 1/300 to 1/250 gross floor area for multi-tenant shopping centers of 10,000sf or greater. Second, shopping centers across the country have identified that the actual need for parking is typically less than city requirements. It is not uncommon, for shopping centers to focus on a good tenant mix of users with varying peak times throughout the day, often times identifying parking ratios closer to 4.0/1000 or below, as supported by ITE-Parking Generation, 4 th Addition for Shopping Centers(not in December). Target stores are going through this same parking reduction, to allow for additional pad developments, which has dropped their parking ratio significantly(Shoreview=4.14/1000, West St. Paul=3.72/1000). In summary, the Arden Plaza shopping center owners feel that their center is over parked and have requested less parking required to better suit their specific needs, thus the parking difference is viewed as not as an issue. Existing Conditions and Removals The property has completed the Phase 1 construction improvements in 2012, and has updated the current existing conditions from the past as-built surveys, along with new 2014 survey data of the existing retail area and Frattallone hardware store demising wall. Generally the new improvements will remove the old wood retaining wall, existing parking lot, Lexington Avenue public sidewalk, storm sewer, and existing trees. Site Plan Similar to the PUD, the proposed parking remains at 10 spaces, including 3 handicap, along the west side of the property. The building is smaller but located in a similar location, with the service area relocated 3 from the south side of the building to the north. Sidewalks and pedestrian circulation are similar, including the 6’ public sidewalk reconstruction along Lexington Avenue. It is noted that the Fall of 2015, Frattallone’s is planning construction of their Garden Center improvements, along with related Arden Plaza LLC implementing their parking lot island and sidewalk additions. Grading, Erosion Control Plan, and Stormwater Design Grading and erosion control is similar to the PUD. The reduced building foot print has allowed most of the grade transition to be sloped, with a retaining wall(and ornamental fence as required) along the east side. Rice Creek Watershed District(RCWD) has indicated that new storm water requirements have been implemented in December of 2014 and that the site has to conform to the new rules, thus the existing rain garden systems may not be adequate. New rain gardens along the east and north sides of the site has been added to address some of the new requirements. Application for RCWD approval and permit will be submitted during a similar time frame as with the City’s submittal. The Reciprocal Easement Agreement and related Maintenance Agreement defines shared storm water use and maintenance responsibilities. Utilities Utilities for the site are similar to the PUD. Water and sanitary stubs are already provided on the north end of the property and the existing 27/30” trunk storm sewer will be located outside the proposed building area, which will also require the related storm sewer easement to be modified. Other utilities, like gas, electric, telephone, etc are in the area and final location will be coordinate the utility providers. Landscaping The site will be lawn grass along the perimeters, along with a nice design of perennial and shrubs in the rain gardens and building/patio perimeter. The trees match the PUD, with 6 shade trees along the south main driveway, 3 shade trees along the east perimeter, and 8 ornamental trees along the west and north sides of the building. Building and Use The proposed use is a sit down restaurant, currently proposed to be named The Tavern Grill. This is an upscale restaurant and bar, open for lunch and supper during the hours of 11:00am-12:00midnight, serving salads, steaks, pasta, shrimp, chicken, burgers, sandwiches, flatbread pizza, and other items. It will have 256 permanent seats, and an outdoor patio with approximately 106 seasonal seats. The building is a one story, multi-height, flat roof structure reaching 24’ to the top of the highest parapet, along with an entry tower with a pitched roof slightly above. The perimeter of the dining section has a lower sloped canopy roof to provide sun relief and an open concrete patio with accent beams and columns surrounded by ornamental fence and columns, along with a two sided indoor/outdoor bar. The building is about 9,460sf with an interior trash room on the north end, with the patio area being around 3,100sf. 4 Building design style is fairly sleek and modern with a variety of heights and materials. The façade is primarily stucco with accents of stone, wood, and trellis, along with a good mix of glass in the southwest entry tower and dining areas. A material wall area calculation spreadsheet is provided, describing each wall portion, for further evaluation. There are two wall signs located on the building. The main sign, is on the west wood façade(back of bathrooms), where the wood texture and accent landscaping will add some interest. The second sign, is on the east stucco façade(kitchen/service) facing Lexington Avenue. There is no additional parking or pedestrian pole lighting on site, and would utilize adjacent parking lot lights for proper light coverage. The restaurant will have seasonal/landscape lighting, but primary exterior lighting would be attached to the building, ground-mounted (bollards and uplights), or under the canopy. TAVERN RESTAURANT – EXTERIOR MATERIALS AND TRANPARENCY As part of the larger Arden Plaza PUD, the Tavern Restaurant is designed for primary access from the development site while providing a street presence along Lexington Avenue. The entry tower at the southwest corner provides convenient access from the parking area and is visible from Lexington Avenue and the main driveway into the development. The exterior patio enlivens the side facing Lexington. A new retaining wall along the east property line accommodates the grade change from Lexington down to the project site. Service access to the kitchen area is on the north side, away from the primary public areas of the site. Due to the location and orientation of the building site relative to the Arden Plaza Development and Lexington Avenue, all four sides of the building are visible from the public right-of-way and/or from the parking area and adjacent parcels. Therefore, all elevations of the building are finished to the same extent. Exterior materials were selected for durability as well as for promoting a signature image for the Tavern. Stone is used at the entry as vertical accents, and as a base at the perimeter of the dining areas and kitchen. Wood accent walls define the restroom projection adjacent to the entry and the spaces between trellises at the patio. A sloped standing seam metal roof at the perimeter of the dining areas and bar serves to break up the massing. Abundant landscaping visually ties the building to the site, and is an added amenity at the patio area. Areas and percentages for each material are documented in the Wall Area Calculations. Windows are located along the perimeter of the dining areas, with round accent windows at the bar booth area. The bar itself has a large glass bifold window which can be opened during the summer months for an indoor/outdoor bar arrangement. The glass entry tower contrasts with the solidity of the adjacent stone and wood accent walls, and serves as a point of emphasis. In most cases, the amount of glazed area per wall exceeds the 20% minimum; this helps to alleviate the absence of glazing at the kitchen, where it would be impractical. Specific glass percentages are included in the Wall Area Calculations. The remainder of the exterior, including the parapet walls above, is stucco. Stucco serves as a neutral backdrop to keep the emphasis on the stone, wood, metal and glass, and to tie everything together. The 5 stucco finish is a 3-coat application over metal lath, with 2 layers of Grade D building paper as the weather barrier/drainage plane. Joints at openings and at the base of the stucco where it meets the stone below, and also just above grade, will be flashed to prevent water from penetrating the weather barrier and to allow for any moisture that gets behind the exterior finish material to drain out. Building signage occurs on the east and west sides. The “T” circle logo on the east side serves to identify the Tavern brand to people walking or travelling along Lexington Avenue. The main sign near the entry utilizes the “T” circle logo, and also includes the full name of the restaurant. Total sign area is 78 square feet – 38 square feet for the “T” circle logo on the east side, and 40 square feet for the complete sign near the entry. Both signs are backlit. Exterior lighting is primarily accent lighting, as the overall site lighting will provide most of what is needed. Bollards will be used to provide additional illumination outside the entry. The patio will include lights mounted on top of the 3’ high stone piers between fencing at the perimeter. Uplights mounted on the ground in the landscape areas immediately adjacent to the building will highlight the vertical stone accent walls. A security light (wall pack) will be mounted above the service area on the north side. B-2 Design Standards Flexibility There are two areas where the project is asking for flexibility to the B-2 Design Standards, but still follow the spirit of the design intent. ·Stucco material is more than the 25% maximum, but is used as more of an accent material that includes better construction techniques for improved longevity. The design of the building with this material fits a nice design blend that seems appropriate for the overall look of the building and in the spirit of providing good diversity of desired materials. ·Building transparency is not at the 50% minimum level facing public streets. Due to the building being significantly below the street level in elevation, and primary kitchen wall(no windows) being on this side, it was the intent to provide more glass along the other facades to compensate for the lack of visibility that a person who observe from Lexington Avenue.

The sidewalk construction on Lexington Avenue will require a right of way permit. The proposed retaining wall should be constructed entirely on private property and not encroach into the County right of way with tie backs or fabric. Please have the developer contact Doug Heidemann, the County’s Permit Coordinator, for the required right of way permit. Sincerely, Erin Laberee, PE Traffic Engineer From:Ann H.To:Matthew BachlerSubject:Planning Meeting August 5th.Date:Wednesday, August 05, 2015 2:22:58 PMHi! I would very mkuch be in favor of the new restaurant Arden Hills is wanting to build as Iam a resident of 4 Pine Tree Drive. I think it is a very good restaurant and would be a goodaddition to Arden Hills. It would also provide a good tax base to this area. Thank you Ann H. Attachment H MEMORANDUM DATE: August 5, 2015 PC Agenda Item 3.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #15-016 – No Public Hearing Required Applicant: Hemisphere Restaurant Partners Property Location: 3527-3557 Lexington Avenue North Request: Final Planned Unit Development Requested Action Hemisphere Restaurant Partners has requested a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Phase III of the Arden Plaza Master PUD. The proposal involves the development of a sit-down restaurant called Tavern Restaurant on the future Lot 1, Arden Plaza 2nd Addition on Lexington Avenue south of the Walgreens pharmacy. Background The City approved a Master PUD for the Arden Plaza retail center in 2009 (Planning Case 09- 011). This site is situated at the southwest corner of the County Road E and Lexington Avenue intersection and is approximately 11 acres in size. The approved plans included the demolition of an existing office complex and the phased redevelopment of the site to be completed in three stages. A total of 97,035 square feet of retail and commercial building space was approved under the original PUD. For each successive phase of the redevelopment, the property owner is required to submit a Final PUD plan to verify general conformance with the Master PUD and to provide more detailed development plans for the phase to be implemented. The Master PUD was amended in 2011 (Planning Case 11-016) to include a revised subdivision plan and updated final development plans for the existing Walgreens Pharmacy. Phase I of the Master PUD was completed in 2012, and included the construction of the Walgreens building, modifications to parking and circulation within the retail center, and the construction of stormwater basins required for the proposed build-out of the site. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 1 of 16 The City approved a second amendment to the Master PUD and a Preliminary Plat in March 2015 for the further subdivision of Lot 3, where the existing retail center is located, into three smaller lots (Planning Case 15-002). Approval of the Final Plat was conditioned on building improvements that are now under construction by Arden Plaza, LLC. Planning Case 15-002 also included modifications to the retail center parking lot and an increase in the Phase III building footprint. The new plat is titled Arden Plaza 2nd Addition, and Lot 1 within the plat is proposed for the Tavern Restaurant development. The Master PUD specifically identifies the Lexington Avenue site where the Tavern Restaurant development is proposed as Phase III. It should be noted that Phase II of the Master PUD has not yet been completed. Phase II will include the development of the parcel on County Road E adjacent to the Walgreens pharmacy for a 6,000 square foot retail or restaurant use. Arden Plaza, LLC continues to market this site to potential buyers and tenants. 1. Overview of Request Hemisphere Restaurant Partners has requested a Final PUD for Phase III of the Arden Plaza Master PUD to develop Lot 1, Arden Plaza 2nd Addition for a sit-down restaurant. The Master PUD Site Plan shows Phase III being developed as a 20,136 square foot retail building. The proposal by Hemisphere Restaurant Partners would result in an overall lower density development on the site than what was originally approved for Phase III. The development plans are in substantial conformance with the Master PUD plans. Hemisphere currently operates three Tavern Restaurants in the Twin Cities metro, with locations in Edina, Woodbury, and Blaine. The proposed Tavern Restaurant in Arden Hills would be similar to these other restaurants and would provide a relaxed but up-scale atmosphere. The development would include the restaurant building, which would have a footprint of 9,500 square feet, and an attached 3,050 square foot outdoor patio area for seasonal seating. The proposed site design orients the restaurant towards the other buildings within the Arden Plaza retail center. The main entrance is located at the southwest corner of the building and features a prominent tower structure comprised primarily of transparent glass. Sidewalks have been provided to create safe pedestrian connections with the public sidewalk on Lexington Avenue as well as the internal sidewalks between the Walgreens pharmacy and the retail center. The building façades would be comprised of stucco with accents of stone and wood. Each side of the building would include a minimum of 20 percent transparent window coverage. A variety of shade and ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennial plantings would be focused around the perimeter of the building and patio area and would also provide screening of the kitchen and utility areas. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 2 of 16 2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process: The Planned Unit Development process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building materials, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. If a PUD is comprised of multiple lots, it is often treated as one continuous development. The development as a whole would be expected to meet the landscaping, stormwater, and other similar requirements. For example, one property in the PUD may have 60 percent building coverage, but the development as a whole may not exceed 50 percent building coverage to maintain conformance with the underlying zoning district. In order to maintain shared amenities, such as parking spaces, access drives, and stormwater ponds, the development is required to create a legal entity to manage and maintain the shared facilities. 3.

Plan Evaluation 1. Chapter 13, Zoning Code Review City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 3 of 16 Section 1320 – District Provisions A. Lot Size, Structure Coverage, and Landscaping The Arden Plaza Master PUD is comprised of five separate lots and individual development proposals are evaluated as if the retail center was one continuous development. The site as a whole is expected to conform to the structure and landscape coverage requirements for the B-2 District while individual lots within the PUD may exceed the underlying zoning requirements. The maximum structure coverage permitted in the B-2 District is 45 percent. A total of 92,748 square feet of building area is approved in the Master PUD divided across the five lots, as shown in the table below. The Tavern Restaurant building would measure 9,500 square feet in size. This compares to the Phase III building footprint in the approved Master PUD, which was permitted to be up to 20,136 square feet. The proposal would result in an overall reduction in structure coverage within the retail center to 83,671 square feet, or 17.4 percent of the total area of the site. Properties in the B-2 District must maintain a minimum landscape coverage of 20 percent. With the reduction in the Phase III building size, the total landscape coverage for the retail center would increase. Under the approved PUD, a minimum of 112,781 square feet is required to be maintained as landscaping. The proposal would result in an increase in landscape coverage to 123,628 square feet, or 25.8 percent of the total area.

Height The maximum height for buildings in the B-2 District is 50 feet. The proposed restaurant would have a maximum height of 26 feet – 3 inches. C. Setbacks The minimum setbacks for a principal structure in the B-2 District are 20 feet in the front yard and rear yard, and 10 feet in each side yard. The internal lot lines within the retail center are less of a concern since the site operates as an integrated planned unit development. For this proposal, the primary concern is the setback from the public right-of-way along Lexington Avenue. The table below provides the setbacks for the proposed Tavern Restaurant. The building would be in conformance with all setback requirements. Lexington Avenue Western Boundary Northern Boundary Southern Boundary Required 20 feet (Front) 20 feet (Rear) 10 Feet (Side) 10 Feet (Side) Proposed 36.2 feet 30.0 feet 48.4 feet 27.0 feet Section 1325 – General Regulations A. Landscaping - Section 1325.05, Subdivision 1 A Master Landscape Plan for the retail center was approved in Planning Case 09-011. For each successive phase of the PUD, the developer is required to install the landscaping improvements shown in this plan. The proposed tree plantings for the Tavern Restaurant match the Master Landscape Plan, with six shade trees along the north side of the main driveway, three shade trees along Lexington Avenue, and eight ornamental trees on the site itself. As a condition of approval for Planning Case 15-002, the Arden Plaza property owner is required to complete the landscaping improvements within the main parking lot as shown in the Master Landscape Plan prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Phase III building. Arden Plaza, LLC plans to complete these required improvements in the fall of 2015. The applicant is aware of this previously approved condition. Minimum Caliper Inches The Zoning Code requires that a minimum amount of caliper inches be provided based on the gross square footage of the building. The caliper inches required is calculated by dividing the gross building square footage by 320. In this case, 29.7 caliper inches of trees are required for the site. The Landscape Plan for the Tavern Restaurant includes 34.5 caliper inches of tree plantings. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 5 of 16 Perennials and Shrubberies The Zoning Code requires that at least ten percent of the total landscaped area be covered with perennials and/or shrubbery. A total of 1,667 square feet of plantings for the site is required based on this provision. The applicant has proposed 4,261 square feet of perennial plantings, or 25.6 percent of the total landscape coverage area. Planting Islands The Zoning Code requires that ten percent of a parking area be occupied by planting islands that include one tree and are a minimum of 150 square feet in size. The approved Master PUD provides for 9.5 percent planting island coverage across the entire shared parking area for the retail center. No additional planting islands are required for the Phase III development under the approved Master PUD. Tree Selection The proposed Autumn Blaze Maple, Greenspire Linden, and Snow Crab trees are appropriate for urbanized locations and should grow well in their proposed locations. B. Lighting – Section 1325.05, Subdivision 3 The Zoning Code requires lighting to be arranged to direct light away from adjacent lots and public streets. The source of illumination must be hooded, concealed, or controlled so that only the intended site is illuminated. A Lighting Plan for the entire retail center was approved in Planning Case 09-011. The plan includes parking lot lighting and pedestrian and landscaping ornamental lighting along common walkways. In the project narrative, the applicant notes that the overall site lighting will provide most of the exterior lighting needed for the Tavern Restaurant. The lighting proposed for the Tavern Restaurant is primarily accent lighting: bollards would be used to provide additional illumination at the entrance; decorative lighting would be mounted on the stone piers around the outdoor patio area to illuminate this space; and uplighting along the west and north building walls would highlight the stone accenting. The architectural plans included in Attachment E indicate the location and design of the accent lights, which would conform to the Zoning Code requirements. Staff did not request a photometric analysis at this time because only minimal accent lighting is proposed and the site is at a substantially lower elevation than Lexington Avenue. The City can request a photometric analysis if there are concerns about the impact of site lighting on adjacent public roadways or residential properties. Perennial Plantings (Percentage) Perennial Plantings (Area) Required 10% of total landscaped area 1,667 sq. ft. Proposed 25.6% 4,261sq. ft.

Screening – Section 1325.05 Subd. 4 The building will be serviced by roof-mounted mechanical operating equipment. The applicant has provided illustrations showing the approximate location of equipment on the roof and the view of the site from Lexington Avenue (Attachment E). The Zoning Code requires that roof- mounted equipment be screened from view of adjacent streets. The applicant has acknowledged that this equipment will either be screened with a durable material or painted to match the adjacent wall structure. D. Fence Regulations - Section 1325.05, Subdivision 4 As part of the development plans the existing retaining wall along Lexington Avenue will be reconstructed. A 42-inch tall ornamental metal fence would be installed at the top of the retaining wall for safety purposes. The Zoning Code restricts the height of fences to no more than six feet. Section 1325.05 Subd. 8 – B-2 District Design Standards Building Materials At least 75 percent of exterior building materials are required to be brick or tile masonry, stone, decorative concrete plank, or transparent glass. Accent materials may include metal, wood, split faced block, stucco, or EIFS. Approximately 40 percent of the total façade area of the building would be stucco. For secondary materials, stone would comprise 21 percent, transparent glass 21 percent, and wood 15 percent of the total façade area. Stucco would primarily be used on the upper portion of the building walls above the metal roof and on the kitchen portion of the building. A higher percentage of stone, wood, and transparent glass would be used on the bar and dining portions of the building. The applicant has addressed the use of stucco as the primary building material in the project narrative. Stucco is being proposed in this case to provide a more neutral building material that will help accentuate the stone and wood materials. Also addressed in the narrative is the application process that would be used for the stucco material to ensure its long-term durability. The explanation provided addresses the two primary concerns staff has regarding this material, which are aesthetics and durability. Staff is supportive of the building materials included in the plans and believes it will result in a more visually interesting building than if the design standards were strictly followed in this case. Building Design The building design section includes several requirements. At least 50 percent of the largest building on each site is required to be constructed at the front setback line of 20 feet. In this case, the building would be located 36.2 feet from the front setback line. Given the elevation difference between Lexington Avenue and the development site, there are existing conditions that prevent the applicant from satisfying this requirement. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 7 of 16 All other requirements under this section are met by the proposal. The building would include façade treatments, such as window openings and architectural details, along all four sides of the building. Additional visual interest has been added through façade modulation and variation of the structure roof heights. A metal canopy roof above the primary entrance would provide protection for pedestrians. Building Color The proposed building colors are white, brown, gray, and beige. These colors are in conformance with the design standard requirements. Window and Door Openings For commercial buildings, at least 50 percent of the first level façade that fronts a public street must be comprised of transparent windows or doors. In this case, the Lexington Avenue façade is required to meet this standard. At least 20 percent of all other façades that are reasonably visible from the public right-of-way must include window or door openings. On these façades, simulated windows may be used on service areas. This standard would apply to the northern and southern building façades. The following table outlines the proposed window and door transparency for the four sides of the building. The City is allowed to grant a proportional reduction in the transparent window requirement on a public street façade if additional transparent glass is used elsewhere on the building. Staff is supportive of the proposed transparency coverage given that the Lexington Avenue façade will not be very visible from the roadway and that transparency coverage has been increased on the remaining three sides of the building. Additionally, the City is allowed to reduce the transparency standards for buildings with a use that does not readily allow windows. The kitchen space takes up a large percentage of the building footprint and it would be difficult to provide transparent windows on this portion of the building. Architectural detailing and landscaping have been provided in these areas to add visual relief. Site Furnishing and Seating Areas Benches and decorative plantings are required near the primary entrance of all buildings. Planting beds are proposed on the west and south side of the building adjacent to the primary entrance. Two benches have also been included on the site plan near the building’s entrance. Transparency Requirements Total Window Transparency Lexington Avenue Façade 50% 22.3% North Façade 20% 23.6% South Façade 20% 23.3% West Façade 0% 42.9% City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 8 of 16 Restaurants are required to provide a functional outdoor seating area with access to the restaurant. The proposal includes a seasonal outdoor patio for up to 106 seats. The patio area would include plantings and a decorative fence around the perimeter. Screening The Zoning Code requires that trash equipment and containers be fully enclosed and integrated into the architecture of the building. The trash service area for the restaurant would be located entirely internal to the building. Landscaping A minimum of one tree planting is required along the right-of-way for every 40 feet of street frontage. The approved Landscape Plan in the Master PUD includes a total of 15 street trees along County Road E and Lexington Avenue. As part of the Phase III development, three shade trees on Lexington Avenue will be installed as shown in the Master Landscape Plan. Parking The design standards discourage placing parking between the street right-of-way and a building. No more than 50 percent of parking on a site may be placed in the side yards. The proposed parking for the Tavern Restaurant would be located at the rear of the site. No parking would be located between the public right-of-way and the building. Pedestrian Circulation Sites must be designed to accommodate the safe mobility of pedestrians to and within the site. The proposed site plan includes a sidewalk in front of the primary building entrance that connects to the sidewalk network internal to the retail center and the public sidewalk on Lexington Avenue. Crosswalk striping has been provided across drive aisles for pedestrian safety. As part of the approval of the Master PUD, the City required that a public sidewalk along the entire length of the site on Lexington Avenue be completed during Phase III. Staff has included as a recommended condition of approval that these sidewalk improvements be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the restaurant. Bicycle Parking For commercial properties, one bicycle parking space is required for every 20 automobile parking spaces. However, a minimum of two bicycle parking spaces are required. In this case, given the ten parking spaces on the site, two parking spaces for bicycles would be required. The applicant has included one rack for two bicycles on the west side of the building close to the primary entrance. The proposed bicycle parking satisfies the City’s requirements in terms of its design and location. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 9 of 16 Section 1325.055 – Tree Preservation A Tree Preservation Plan was included in the Master PUD approved in Planning Case 09-011. All requirements of the tree preservation ordinance were met by this proposal. The Tree Preservation Plan includes the removal of three trees on the north side of the Lexington Avenue entrance drive, which will be completed as part of the Phase III development. The trees will be replaced by six Greenspire Linden trees consistent with the Master Landscape Plan. Section 1325.06 – Requirements for Parking, Loading and Circulation Parking requirements are determined by the type of land use proposed for a site. For restaurant uses, one parking space is required for every two seats. The Tavern Restaurant would include 256 permanent indoor seats, along with approximately 106 seasonal outdoor patio seats. The Zoning Code does not distinguish between permanent indoor and seasonal outdoor seating for restaurant uses. Based on the required ratio, 181 parking stalls would need to be provided. Staff believes it would be appropriate to consider a lower parking requirement for the outdoor seating considering this will only be a seasonal use. The development proposal includes the construction of ten parking stalls on the lot, as shown in the Master PUD. However, an existing Reciprocal Easement Agreement that covers the separate lots within the retail center provides for shared parking across the entire site. With the completion of Phase III and the additional Arden Plaza parking lot improvements, there would be a total of 405 parking stalls in the retail center that could be used by Tavern Restaurant customers. The majority of these stalls would be within 400 feet of the entrance to the restaurant. At the time of full build-out, the PUD will include 440 parking stalls overall. In the project narrative, the applicant discusses how shopping centers typically rely on a ratio of 4.0 stalls per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area to determine parking needs. This is supported by a study completed by the National Parking Association and the Urban Land Institute, titled Dimensions of Parking, which recommends 4.0 – 4.5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building space in shopping centers with total square footage of less than 600,000. According to the Parking Generation study completed by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (4th Edition), the average peak parking demand for shopping centers ranges from 2.04 to 2.94 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of gross building area, depending on the day of the week. At the 85th percentile, the study showed demands ranging from 2.39 to 3.90 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of building area. The 405 parking stalls that would be provided by the completion of Phase III equates to a ratio of 4.96 stalls per 1,000 square feet of gross building square footage. Based on the shared parking provided through the Reciprocal Easement Agreement, the design layout of the parking lot, and the studies discussed above, staff believes that 405 parking stalls will be adequate to accommodate demand following the completion of Phase III. Going forward, staff would recommend that the City evaluate future parking needs for the Arden Plaza retail center based on the ratio recommended in the Dimensions of Parking study of 4.0 – 4.5 stalls per City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-016 - Arden Plaza - Final PUD Phase III\Memos_Reports_15-016 Page 10 of 16 1,000 square feet of building space. This will allow for an easier evaluation of parking needs for Phase II of the Master PUD and any future redevelopment on the site. Staff anticipates that with the completion of Phase II the parking ratio on the site would be approximately 5.25 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building space. 2. Chapter 12 – Sign Code The permitted amount of wall signage in Sign District 5 is 80 square feet per business establishment. The applicant has proposed a total of 78 square feet of wall signage for the Tavern Restaurant divided between two signs. One sign would be located on the building wall facing Lexington Avenue and would measure 38.5 square feet. The second sign would be installed on the west façade adjacent to the primary entrance and would measure 39.5 square feet. 3. Traffic Study and Transportation Improvements A traffic study was completed in 2007 to evaluate the full build-out of the Arden Plaza retail center. An additional study was completed in 2008 in conjunction with the B-2 District Guiding Plan that looked at the redevelopment of Arden Plaza in addition to other development opportunities along the County Road E corridor. The Phase III development proposal is in substantial conformance with the development scenarios evaluated in these traffic studies and an additional study was not requested at this time. The application does not propose any alterations to the internal circulation plan as shown in the previously approved Master PUD. As part of the City’s approval of the Master PUD in 2009, Arden Plaza was required to construct certain transportation improvements. One condition was that the development of Phase III would be contingent on the construction of a traffic signal located 650 feet west of the County Road E and Lexington Avenue intersection. This traffic signal was proposed as part of the transportation improvements included in the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District. The signal was recommended in part based on the assumption that the Holiday Inn site north of Arden Plaza would be redeveloped into a 95 apartment unit building and a 120,000 square foot office building. The 2007 Arden Plaza traffic study did not indicate that a new signal would be warranted. At the time, Ramsey County also did not support the traffic signal due to spacing between the Lexington Avenue intersection and the proposed signal. City staff discussed the Phase III development plans with the Ramsey County Public Works Department and a letter from the County addressing traffic control on County Road E has been included in Attachment F. The letter notes that the County Road E improvements now under construction include a dedicated left-turn lane to serve Arden Plaza and restricted turns from the property to the north. The County believes that these initiatives will adequately serve the expected traffic and that a traffic signal at Arden Plaza is not needed at this time. The City will continue to monitor traffic operations along County Road E and additional transportation improvements may be required for Phase II of the Arden Plaza Master PUD.

Planning Case 15-016; Final Planned Unit Development – Arden Plaza; 3527-3557 Lexington Avenue North –Public Hearing Not Required Associate Planner Bachler stated that the City approved a Master PUD for the Arden Plaza retail center in 2009 (Planning Case 09-011). This site is situated at the southwest corner of the County Road E and Lexington Avenue intersection and is approximately 11 acres in size. The approved plans included the demolition of an existing office complex and the phased redevelopment of the site to be completed in three stages. A total of 97,035 square feet of retail and commercial building space was approved under the original PUD. For each successive phase of the redevelopment, the property owner is required to submit a Final PUD plan to verify general conformance with the Master PUD and to provide more detailed development plans for the phase to be implemented. Associate Planner Bachler indicated that the Master PUD was amended in 2011 (Planning Case 11-016) to include a revised subdivision plan and updated final development plans for the existing Walgreens Pharmacy. Phase I of the Master PUD was completed in 2012, and included the construction of the Walgreens building, modifications to parking and circulation within the retail center, and the construction of stormwater basins required for the proposed build-out of the site. Associate Planner Bachler reported that the City approved a second amendment to the Master PUD and a Preliminary Plat in March 2015 for the further subdivision of Lot 3, where the existing retail center is located, into three smaller lots (Planning Case 15-002). Approval of the Final Plat was conditioned on building improvements that are now under construction by Arden Plaza, LLC. Planning Case 15-002 also included modifications to the retail center parking lot and an increase in the Phase III building footprint. The new plat is titled Arden Plaza 2nd Addition, and Lot 1 within the plat is proposed for the Tavern Restaurant development. Associate Planner Bachler commented that the Master PUD specifically identifies the Lexington Avenue site where the Tavern Restaurant development is proposed as Phase III. He noted that Phase II of the Master PUD has not yet been completed. Phase II will include the development of the parcel on County Road E adjacent to the Walgreens pharmacy for a 6,000 square foot retail or restaurant use. Arden Plaza, LLC continues to market this site to potential buyers and tenants. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – August 5, 2015 2 Associate Planner Bachler stated that Hemisphere Restaurant Partners has requested a Final PUD for Phase III of the Arden Plaza Master PUD to develop Lot 1, Arden Plaza 2nd Addition for a sit-down restaurant. The Master PUD Site Plan shows Phase III being developed as a 20,136 square foot retail building. The proposal by Hemisphere Restaurant Partners would result in an overall lower density development on the site than what was originally approved for Phase III. The development plans are in substantial conformance with the Master PUD plans. Associate Planner Bachler explained that Hemisphere currently operates three Tavern Restaurants in the Twin Cities metro, with locations in Edina, Woodbury, and Blaine. The proposed Tavern Restaurant in Arden Hills would be similar to these other restaurants and would provide a relaxed but up-scale atmosphere. The development would include the restaurant building, which would have a footprint of 9,500 square feet, and an attached 3,050 square foot outdoor patio area for seasonal seating. Associate Planner Bachler noted that the proposed site design orients the restaurant towards the other buildings within the Arden Plaza retail center. The main entrance is located at the southwest corner of the building and features a prominent tower structure comprised primarily of transparent glass. Sidewalks have been provided to create safe pedestrian connections with the public sidewalk on Lexington Avenue as well as the internal sidewalks between the Walgreens pharmacy and the retail center. Associate Planner Bachler stated that the building façades would be comprised of stucco with accents of stone and wood. Each side of the building would include a minimum of 20 percent transparent window coverage. A variety of shade and ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennial plantings would be focused around the perimeter of the building and patio area and would also provide screening of the kitchen and utility areas. Associate Planner Bachler reported that the Planned Unit Development process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building materials, or landscaping requirements. It is intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of the development. A PUD cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district. Associate Planner Bachler commented that when a PUD is comprised of multiple lots, it is often treated as one continuous development. The development as a whole would be expected to meet the landscaping, stormwater, and other similar requirements. For example, one property in the PUD may have 60 percent building coverage, but the development as a whole may not exceed 50 percent building coverage to maintain conformance with the underlying zoning district. In order to maintain shared amenities, such as parking spaces, access drives, and stormwater ponds, the development is required to create a legal entity to manage and maintain the shared facilities.

Associate Planner Bachler reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted. 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Thompson requested comment from the applicant. Tim Cary, Hemisphere Restaurant Partners, introduced himself to the Planning Commission. He stated that he lived locally and was looking forward to opening a restaurant in Arden Hills. He invited the Commissioners to visit a Tavern Restaurant and believed this would be a family- friendly fit for the Arden Plaza area. Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Chair Thompson questioned if additional landscaping could be added along the driveway to the service entrance and trash collection area. Mr. Cary commented that he could look at this further. Commissioner Holewa asked when the restaurant would be open for business. Mr. Cary hoped to be open early next spring. Commissioner Zimmerman commended the applicant on the attractive, well-designed site plan. He looked forward to having another restaurant in the City of Arden Hills. Commissioner Jones was in favor of additional screening for the service entrance and trash collection area as well. Chair Thompson asked if pedestrian traffic had been considered with this plan. She wanted to be assured that the entire development was pedestrian friendly. Associate Planner Bachler reviewed the location of sidewalks within the Arden Plaza retail center. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – August 5, 2015 6 Commissioner Zimmerman moved and Commissioner Holewa seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 15-016 for a Final PUD for Phase III of the Arden Plaza Master PUD at 3527-3557 Lexington Avenue North based on the findings of fact, submitted plans, and the sixteen (16) conditions in the August 5, 2015, Report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). NEW BUSINESS – 8C MEMORANDUM DATE: August 31, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Regulation of Cellular Antennas Background Staff recently provided the City Council with a memo written by the City Attorney, Joel Jamnik, addressing the regulation of cellular antennas in the Zoning Code (Attachment A). The memo was provided in response to questions received from Councilmember Woodburn regarding the classification of cellular antennas as an accessory use. In Attachment A, the City Attorney has provided suggested revisions to the Zoning Code to help clarify this issue. At the City Council Work Session on August 17, 2015, Councilmember Holmes requested that this item be discussed by the City Council at a future meeting. The City Attorney will be in attendance at the City Council meeting on August 31, 2015 to further discuss this topic. If the City Council believes additional clarification is needed in the Zoning Code, staff is requesting that this direction be provided. Staff will then work with the Planning Commission on drafting an Ordinance to make any necessary revisions. Attachment A. Memo from City Attorney Joel Jamnik on Regulation of Cellular Antennas City of Arden Hills City Council Regular Meeting for August 31, 2015 Page 1 of 1 To: Mayor and City Council From: City Attorney Subject: Regulation of cellular antennas The recent application for additional antennas on an existing structure raised some question to whether the city’s zoning ordinance properly classifies and regulates these antennas. In my opinion, the city’s ordinance follows the prevalent pattern of city regulation. Telecommunications facilities are protected by federal law (The Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 USC § 332). Local governments may generally regulate the placement, construction and modification of cell tower through zoning ordinances, but the regulations may not unreasonably discriminate among providers nor prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of services. Consequently, all cities are required by law to allow placement in order to allow effective service. The majority of cities seek to accommodate antennas while simultaneously limiting the number of free- standing monopoles or other towers by requiring co-location, leasing public facilities such as water towers, and allowing use of existing buildings to mount new antennas. The city’s zoning ordinance, in particular § 1325.09 adopts these strategies to “maximize the use of existing and approved towers and buildings to accommodate new personal wireless service antennas in order to reduce the number of new towers necessary to serve the community”. (§1325.09, Subd. 1B). The ordinance is clear in its intent that new antennas are allowed only on property containing an existing principal use. Towers built before 2010 are allowed as conditional uses and may be the primary use on a property. Otherwise, new antennas must be located on existing towers or existing structures. However, as was pointed out at the recent Council meeting, in some cases the ordinance could be amended to clarify that the antennas, while attached or accessory to the principal structure, do not have to complement or support the other uses on the property but rather can be considered more as a secondary principal use. To give some idea regarding this point and how it could be addressed, see the draft red-line below. If Council believes additional clarification is warranted it may direct staff and the Planning Commission to review the ordinance. 1325.09 Antennas, Dish Antennas and Towers. (revised 8/5/09) Subd. 1 Purpose. In order to accommodate the communication needs of residents and businesses while protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community, the City finds that these regulations are necessary to: A. Maximize the use of existing and approved towers and buildings to accommodate new personal wireless service antennas in order to reduce the number of new towers necessary to serve the community; B. Ensure antennas and towers are designed, located, and constructed in accordance with all applicable code requirements to avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from failure of the antenna and tower through structural standards and setback requirements; Subd. 2 Applicability. The regulations in this subsection shall apply to any antenna or tower except as hereinafter provided in Subd. 3. Subd. 3 Exemptions. A. Antennas and towers used by the City for City purposes. B. Receptive dish antennas under one (1) meter in diameter and individual receptive antennas, which are no taller than twelve (12) feet above the roofline, regardless of the zoning district. C. In all residential districts, no more than two (2) exempted antennas and no more than one (1) antenna requiring a conditional use permit shall be allowed on any lot or parcel. Subd. 4 Conditional Use Permit. (revised 5/6/10) A. New Antennas, dish antennas and towers are allowed only as conditional accessory uses or structures. They are therefore allowed only on property containing a principal use or structure to which the antenna, dish antenna or tower is accessory or secondary. B. Towers that were in existence prior to April 8, 2010 are allowed as conditional uses and may be the primary use on a property. New antennas may be added to said towers subject to the limitations of the conditional use permit for each tower. C. Antennas, dish antennas, and towers located on property owned by the City of Arden Hills shall not require a conditional use permit and shall not be subject to the height regulations in Subd. 5, Height, of this section. Subd. 5 Height. (revised 5/6/10) The height of an antenna or tower shall be measured from the ground at the base of the antenna, tower, or other structure that the antenna is attached to, to the highest point of the antenna or tower. No antenna or tower shall exceed the following height limitations: A. A dish antenna shall not exceed fifteen (15) feet in height if ground or pole mounted and shall not extend more than twelve (12) feet above the roof if it is roof mounted. Regardless of these height limitations, the antenna shall be mounted as close to the ground or roof as practical. B. No antenna or tower shall exceed a height of seventy-five (75) feet. C. Towers constructed prior to April 8, 2010, which exceed the seventy-five (75) foot height limit, shall not be increased in height. New antennas may be placed on said towers provided the antennas meet the requirements of the conditional use permit for the tower and do not exceed the height of the tower. D. No antenna or tower shall exceed a height equal to the distance from the base of the tower to the nearest overhead electrical power line (except individual service drops), less five (5) feet. Subd. 6 Location. A. New antennas shall be located on City water tower sites unless the applicant shows, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, that none of the City water towers can be feasibly used from an engineering standpoint. B. Preferences for Antenna and Support Structure Locations. When selecting sites for the construction of new Antenna Support Structures and/or for the placement of new antennas, when not located on a City water tower site, the following preferences shall be followed in order of listing: 1. Existing towers or on existing structures located within any Industrial, Civic-Center, or Business District zoned property 2. On new towers located within any Industrial, Civic-Center, or Business District zoned property 3. Any existing towers or structures located within any Residential zoned property. 4. Any new towers or structures located within any Residential zoned property. C. Co-location Required. If a new antenna support structure is to be constructed, it shall be designed structurally and electrically to accommodate both the applicant's antennas and comparable antennas for at least one (1) additional user. Any antenna support structure must also be designed to allow for future re-arrangement of antennas upon the tower and to accept antennas mounted at different heights. Other users shall include, but not be limited to, other cellular communication companies, Personal Communication Systems companies, local police, fire and ambulance companies. D. Prohibitions. No new support structures shall be approved for construction, unless the applicant shows, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, that an existing tower or structure is not feasibly available for use from an engineering standpoint. E. Antennas and towers shall be located on sites or buildings in areas that are the least visually intrusive to nearby properties and public streets. ii. With the exception of antennas placed on towers constructed prior to April 8, 2010, antennas, dish antennas or towers shall not be allowed (revised 5/6/10): 1. Nearer the street than the principal building on the lot. 2. Nearer the side or rear lot lines than the minimum side or rear yard setbacks for accessory uses as established in Section 1320.06 of this Code. 3. Nearer to an adjoining property's buildable area than to the principal building on the site on which the antenna or tower will be placed. 4. Nearer to any property line than the height of the antenna or tower. Subd. 7 Screening. A. Dish Antennas. Screening shall be provided so as to prevent direct view of a dish antenna from any street or from a public or private property within six hundred (600) feet of the dish, as follows: 1. Ground Mounted Dishes. Screening for ground mounted dishes shall consist of a fence, wall, earth berm or landscaping, or a combination of these devices. 2. Roof or Wall Mounted Dishes. Screening for roof- or wall-mounted dishes shall be in accordance with Section 1325.05 Subd 4 B. Antennas. Antennas shall be painted the color of the structure to which they are attached. Subd. 8 Special Requirements for City Water Tower Sites. The placement of licensed commercial wireless telecommunication services including cellular, personal communication services (PCS), specialized mobilized radio (SMR), enhanced specialized mobilized radio (ESMR), paging and similar services on water tower sites will be allowed only when the City is fully satisfied that the following requirements are met: A. The applicant's access to the facility will not increase the risks of contamination to the City's water supply; B. There is sufficient room on the structure to accommodate the applicant's equipment and all equipment (antennas, exterior cables, etc) attached to the structure is painted to match the color of the structure; C. The presence of the equipment will not increase the water tower or reservoir maintenance costs to the City; D. The presence of the equipment will not be harmful to the health of workers maintaining the water tower or reservoir. E. Antennas placed on the top of the tower shall not exceed the height of the tallest existing antenna. F. There is sufficient room on the site to accommodate all ground equipment and the following requirements for ground equipment are met: 1.

If an existing equipment building is unavailable, a new equipment building may be constructed. If the equipment is to be housed in a weather-proof cabinet-like structure in lieu of a building, it shall be mounted upon a suitable concrete pad. 2. If there is an equipment building constructed on site, it shall be subject to City approval. 3. To the extent possible, the equipment building or cabinet shall be located adjacent to or near existing on-site buildings. 4. The equipment building or cabinet shall be screened from view of adjacent properties by suitable vegetation, except where non-vegetative screening (e.g., a decorative wall or fencing) better reflects and complements the character of the neighborhood. 5. The City shall require a suitable financial surety to ensure future removal of the equipment building or cabinet upon termination of the lease. 6. All applicants must include a signed report from a State registered engineer showing compliance with all applicable codes, standards and structural requirements of how the additional antennas will affect the water tower structure. A final inspection report from a State registered engineer showing the work completed is in compliance with previously approved plans shall also be required. Subd. 9 Requirements. A. A building permit shall be required for all applications except those as stated in Section 1325.09 Subd 1.A. B. The City shall require the applicant to complete a radio frequency interference study that is carried out by an independent and qualified professional reasonably selected by the City that is able to demonstrate that the applicant's use will not interfere with any existing communications facilities.
