Planning Case 18-014; Mounds View School District 1900 & 1901 Lake Valentine Road – Final PUD and Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Public Hearing Planning Consultant Kansier explained Mounds View Public Schools has submitted an application for a Master and Final Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Applicant is requesting to construct 27,300 square feet of additional classroom space and a 49,000 square feet gymnasium addition. The property, located at 1900 Lake Valentine Road, is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and is guided as Public and Institutional on the Land Use Plan. Planning Consultant Kansier stated in addition, the applicant is requesting to amend the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Applicant is requesting to modify the future Land Use of 1901 Lake Valentine Road, the former First Student Bus Garage from Low Density Residential to Public and Institutional in the 2040 land use plan. This property will be used for high school student and staff parking. The PUD is required to allow the two non-contiguous parcels to be used as a single use. Planning Consultant Kansier commented this item was originally scheduled for a public hearing on April 3, 2019. However, just prior to the hearing, the Applicant submitted revised plans that were significantly different than the previous plans reviewed by staff. As a result, the item was tabled to allow time for additional plan review and a second neighborhood meeting. Planning Consultant Kansier indicated the last major addition to the high school occurred in 2000 when the track and field stadium was reconstructed and additions were made to the main entrance, auditorium, orchestra/choir area, storage, computer lab, staff dining area, woodshop, and classrooms. Planning Consultant Kansier reported the Applicant is proposing an addition totaling 76,300 square feet, including 49,000 square feet for gymnasiums and 27,300 square feet for a total of seven classrooms. Interior remodels of the existing building include 65,000 square feet. The subject property is located at 1900 Lake Valentine Road. The Applicant recently acquired the former First Student school bus garage located directly north of the high school at 1901 Lake Valentine Road. The Applicant is proposing to repave and restripe the parking lot for more efficient car parking. The existing building on the site will be used for cold storage. A more intensive use of the building may be proposed at a later date.

Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted. 3. Recommend Denial ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 8, 2019 6 4. Table Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 6:59 p.m. Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. Elizabeth Garski, 1795 Lake Valentine Road, stated new plans were presented this evening which was concerning to her. She asked if the crossing lights would be activated by pedestrians or by vehicles. Planning Consultant Kansier explained it was her understanding the light would be activated by pedestrians. Ms. Garski expressed concern with the trash pickup at the school. She reported she did not want to see this occurring at 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. She feared that the proposed rezoning would lead to additional trash pickups and earlier pickup times. She explained she supported the improvements to the school and recommended the safety of students be considered. She commented further on the proposed new parking stating she would like to see the storm retention pond shifted on the property. Joseph Ehrlich, 1817 Gramsie Road, asked if the PUD was required because the bus garage property was not contiguous to the school property. Planning Consultant Kansier reported this was the case. Mr. Ehrlich commented on the location of the lacrosse field and stated he had concerns given the high-water level on this portion of the property. He suggested the lacrosse field be relocated or that the field direction be rotated. Jan Buikema, 1817 Gramsie Road, commented on how the lacrosse field would impact her home. She stated she has enjoyed the relationship she has with the school and requested a larger berm or buffer be considered between the lacrosse field and the adjacent neighbors to assist with absorbing sound. Mr. Ehrlich explained the trees currently in place absorb sound and with these trees being removed, the adjacent neighborhood would be adversely impacted. He understood this field was an allowed use but requested the City require the school district to provide better screening and buffering. There being no additional comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. Commissioner Zimmerman asked if the penthouse addition would be attached to the gymnasium. Paul Aplikowski, Wold Architects and representative for the Mounds View School District, explained the penthouse would be behind the gymnasium and would be used for mechanical equipment. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 8, 2019 7 Commissioner Zimmerman questioned if planting islands would be added in the future. Mr. Aplikowski commented the plan would be to leave this lot as is without planting islands. He reported at some point in the future when the lot is resurfaced, planting islands would be added. Commissioner Subramnian asked if any alternate parking plans had been considered such as a parking ramp to eliminate the need to remove trees. He stated he would like to see nature and trees preserved. Mr. Aplikowski indicated a parking ramp would be too costly for the school district. Commissioner Lambeth commented further on the planting islands and stated he understood the school was currently under parked by 100+ spaces. He recommended the applicant be required to install planting islands throughout the proposed parking areas that meet or exceed the required quantity of islands, design specifications and a minimum of one tree per island, which in whole or in part compensates for the caliper inch deficiency in the mitigation plan. Mr. Aplikowski stated he appreciated this feedback and explained the school could aspire to this recommendation. He reported the City Ordinance does not have language that addresses the maximum number of trees that can be removed. Rather, it states 10% can be removed without replacement and has an aggressive replacement plan. He noted the school district would have an aggressive tree replacement plan. He indicated it was the school districts intent to not disturb the pavement across the street given the expense for the stormwater management on this property. Commissioner Lambeth explained that the planting island trees would make a significant dent in the mitigation shortage that currently exists in the landscaping plan and the compensation owed to the City would be less. Mr. Aplikowski discussed the tree replacement plan noting the placement of some trees was still being negotiated with staff as it may not make sense to plant an additional 500 trees on the site. He indicated it would be difficult for the school to have full use of its fields if 500 trees were required. For this reason, the school district would be making a payment to the City in lieu of the tree replacement requirement. Commissioner Wicklund asked why the lacrosse field was placed the way it was by the school district. Mr. Aplikowski explained this site was challenged for green space. He reported the proposed configuration would allow for an extra football practice field in the fall. Chair Gehrig commented the Planning Commission was tasked with considering the zoning regulations for a property. He discussed the location of the stormwater pond to the north and asked why this pond was added. Mr. Aplikowski stated this stormwater pond has been on the school districts plan but noted the cost to acquire the land was higher than anticipated. This meant the school district had less money for the remainder of the project. He apologized to staff for the late changes made to the ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 8, 2019 8 plan but indicated these changes would allow the school district to remain on budget for the overall project. Chair Gehrig questioned if the school district would be on board to consulting with the neighbors regarding tree placement. He understood the school could make a payment in lieu of trees. However, he encouraged the school district to work with staff and the neighbors to improve the buffers. City Planner Mrosla reported staff would recommend adding Condition 27 stating: The applicant shall perform an analysis of how many trees can be accommodated on the north parking lot and shall preserve a number of trees to be planted when a Site Plan is approved. Commissioner Zimmerman requested further information regarding the speed limit signage that would be posted along Lake Valentine Road. Planning Consultant Kansier stated staff was still working to determine what type of signage would be posted. She noted the school speed zone has to be approved by the State. Commissioner Wicklund discussed Condition 19 and asked if the school district was ready to assume the recommendations that were passed along from the County. Mr. Aplikowski indicated the school district was not able to negotiate these items. He noted his main goal was to get the development of the high school proper to start. He reported the school districts priority would always be to the safety of its students during and after the construction project. Commissioner Wicklund questioned what the expense would be to create a pedestrian tunnel system. Mr. Aplikowski estimated this expense would be $250,000 to $500,000. Commissioner Wicklund requested staff speak to the Commission further regarding the lighting plan surrounding the crosswalk area. City Planner Mrosla reported cobra head lights would be installed on both sides of the road. Commissioner Wicklund recommended the City strengthen the lighting at the crosswalks for improved pedestrian safety. Commissioner Subramnian questioned if school would consider rotating the lacrosse field in order to save trees. Mr. Aplikowski stated the school district would like to keep the lacrosse field in its proposed location as this maximizes the playability and function of the school district site. City Planner Mrosla commented he could revisit this issue with the applicant to see if a slight shift in the field could assist in saving more trees. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 8, 2019 9 Jeff Ridlehoover, Assistant Superintendent for Mounds View Schools, thanked the residents that came forward to speak tonight. He thanked them for being great neighbors to the school district and commented the school district would work with them to address their concerns. Chair Gehrig discussed the charge of the Planning Commission with respect to land use cases. Commissioner Zimmerman moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 18-014 for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a Master and Final PUD at 1900 Lake Valentine Road, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the May 8, 2019, report to the Planning Commission, and amended by the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Commissioner Zimmerman asked when the former school bus barn would be addressed. City Planner Mrosla reported this would occur in the next two years. He reported the school district was proposing to complete a phased project. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Planning Case 19-005; Boston Scientific – Site Plan Review – Public Hearing Not Required City Planner Mrosla stated the Boston Scientific Corporation has submitted an application for Site Plan Review. The Applicant is requesting approval to reconstruct and expand the existing parking lot adjacent to Lexington Avenue. The property is located at 4100 Hamline Ave North. The property is zoned I1, Limited Industrial District and is guided as I/O, Light Industrial and Office on the Land Use Plan. City Planner Mrosla reported Boston Scientific has recently announced that the Minnetonka Boston Scientific campus will be shutting down and transferring all product, processes, and employees to the Arden Hills Campus. There will be approximately 400-500 employees transferring to the Arden Hills campus by 2020. The relocated jobs include approximately 100- 200 manufacturing jobs and 300 office staff. In preparation for this move, the Applicant is requesting to reconstruct the existing parking lot adjacent to Lexington Avenue and add an additional 387 additional parking stalls. The Applicant is also requesting to make other pedestrian and vehicular safety improvement along existing parking areas on Lexington Avenue and Cummings Park Drive. City Planner Mrosla explained the Applicant is currently remodeling the existing office space in buildings 7 and 9 to accommodate the relocated employees. City Code Section 1325.06 Subd. 1 (G) states that any commercial or industrial buildings for a use, or uses, which is proposed to be converted, remodeled, or modified to accommodate another allowable use, or uses, which has a greater off-street parking requirement shall be required to apply for Site Plan Review and approval to assure the adequacy of off-street parking. Boston Scientific currently has 2,653 parking spaces and has approximately 3,000 plus employees. The additional parking is needed to ensure parking is provided for the new employees. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 8, 2019 10 City Planner Mrosla indicated the existing eastern parking lot consists of 213 parking stalls. However, prior to 2005 the lot was larger with 295 stalls and was setback 17 feet from the property line and the Ramsey County right of way. The previous property owner reduced the eastern parking field from 295 stall to its current configuration in 2004. The intent of the removal was to create a main entrance to the campus. The main entrance concept was not implemented, as Boston Scientific purchased the former company and the property in 2006. As part of this application, the Applicant is proposing to improve upon the exiting landscaping theme at the Lexington Avenue access. The proposed landscaping will include ornamental trees, grasses and shrubs to create a welcoming environment. The image below shows how the site has changed from 2003 to the current proposal. City Planner Mrosla reported the existing Boston Scientific Lexington Avenue access drive is currently 48 feet wide. The east bound movement onto Lexington Avenue currently consists of two turn lanes. The Applicant is requesting to reduce the drive lane width to 24 feet. The reduction in the drive lane width will reduce the speeds of vehicles entering and exiting the site. In addition, the reduction in lane width will reduce the number of vehicles exiting onto Lexington Avenue and increase the efficiency of the intersection. The Applicant has discussed the proposed access modifications with Ramsey County, and they have determined that no improvements to Lexington Avenue are necessary as part of this project. City Planner Mrosla stated north of the exiting eastern parking field is an existing wooded area. The Applicant is requesting to expand the existing parking area into this area. The proposed expansion would increase the number of parking stalls by 173 for a total of 387 spaces in the eastern parking field. The intent of locating additional parking in this area as opposed to other areas of the campus is to better accommodate the majority of the employees relocating from the Minnetonka campus, most of whom will be working in the adjacent building. Site Data Land Use Plan: Light Industrial and Office Existing Land Use: Light Industrial and Office Zoning: I-1: Limited Industrial Current Lot Sizes: Lot 1 – 77.41 Acres Topography: Level City Planner Mrosla reviewed the surrounding area and the Plan Evaluation.
