The traffic and pedestrian study was recently completed and reviewed by City and School District staff. Staff reviewed the traffic study evaluation in detail with the Council, along with the proposed recommendations and recommended the Council hold a public hearing. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla continued his presentation by relaying comments received prior to the meeting via telephone and email.

Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reviewed an email received from Jennifer Mohlenhoff expressing concerns that the parking lot configuration and construction 4 A. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL _ APRIL 27,2020 traffic would disrupt traffic flow. Ms. Mohlenhoff expressed concern with the undersized parent drop offarea and encouraged the City to assist the school district with improving the safety of this roadway for all residents of Arden Hills. Community Development ManageriCity Planner Mrosla read a comment from Elizabeth Garski at 1795 Lake Valentine Road stating the resident was happy a traffic study had been completed and recommended improvements along Lake Valentine Road. Ms. Garski feared that too many signs and flashing lights would be distracting. Ms. Garski hoped the centralized pedestrian crossing would be a big improvement. Ms. Garski suggested the parent drop off area Le placed in a different area because the current location was causing backups all the way to I- 35W. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla read a comment from Emelia Rogers stating she iupport"d th" proposed changes. Ms. Rogers believed for the safety of the students and residents that live on thi road she recommended the City Council approve the proposed improvements. Councilmember McClung asked if more than just signage can be done to discourage parent drop-offs and pickups where they should not be taking place. public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated this matter was discussed by the planning Commission and staff was directed to identify signage that could be posted stating "No Drop Off'to be added to the "No Parking" signs' Councilmember McClung questioned when negotiations between the school district and the State would be completed for the entrance to the bus parking lot. He inquired what would happen if the school district was not able to obtain a portion of land from the State. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla explained this has been discussed with the school district and the fall back would be to construct the entrance on property owned by the school district at a length shorter than originally proposed. Councilmember McClung asked if a condition should be added to state: If the acquisition of the State land falls througtr the City will require the school district to move the entrance to the far west on school district land. public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom supported the Council adding this condition. Further discussion ensued regarding the land acquisition negotiations. Mayor Grant questioned if there was a sidewalk on the north side of the roadway all the way down to Janet Court.

Planning Case 20-001 - 2040 Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment (Land Use Chapter) Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated Minnesota state law requires that all communitLs within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area update their Comprehensive plans every ten years. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. It is also a reference document for the Planning Commission and City Council when evaluating private development projects, such as Summit Development's Parkshore proposal (see Planning Case l9- 002). Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the Comprehensive Plan and all its amendments must reflect the adopted regional policies in the Metropolitan Council's system and policy plans. Local planning efforts are linked to the larger regional infrastructure of parks and irails, road networks, and wastewater infrastructure, and the City's plan must conform to the regional vision. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the planning Commission following a public hearing. The Planning Commission reviewed this item at its April 15,2020 meeting and at that time the Commission recommend approval by a 7-0 vote. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained at its July 22, 2019 meeting, the City Council approved Site Plan Review, Final Planned Unit Development, Rezoning, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, Preliminary Plat, and Vacation of exiiting easements for Summit Development at 1718, 1720, and 1722 Parkshore Drive and 4177 Old Highway 10. The Applicant is requesting to construct a three (3) story, 120- unit senior housing building which will include independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. The proposed development site is approximately 5.32 acres and has a net density of 21.78 units per acre. However, when the plans were reviewed by the Metropolitan Council they were denied over concern that the City's recently approved 2040 Comprehensive plan does not have language supporting increasing the densities above the maximum permitted in a specific land use district. In order to move the project forward a minor text amendment to the ZO4O Comprehensive Plan is required. Staff reviewed the proposed language further and requested the Council hold a public hearing. Mayor Grant questioned if the area defined within the text amendment should be south of County Road 96 and west of Highway 10. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla stated he would investigate this funher and would report back to the Council. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at7:56 p.m. With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at7:57 p.m 6 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL _ APRIL 27,2020 7 10.

The School District and City have completed a study to identifu specific traffic and pedestrian improvements for Lake Valentine Road. At this time the original approved PUD requires amending to include conditions based on the findings contained within the traffic study, an evaluation of existing site conditions and as recommended by the Planning Commission. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla explained the Planning Commission offers the following Findings of Fact: l. The properties located at 1900 and 1901 Lake Valentine Road are located in the R-l Single Family Residential District. 2. The proposed conditions when implemented will create a safer environment for pedestrian movement across Lake Valentine Road. 3. The proposed roadway improvements will improve traffic flow through the road section adjacent to the school. 4. With the applied conditions, the application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. 5.

The traffic and pedestrian study was reviewed by City and School District staff. 7. The City and School District staff concur on the proposed conditions and recommended improvements. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Case l8-014 for an Amended PUD at 1900 and 1901 Lake Valentine Road, based on the findings of fact and recommendations based on the findings contained within the traffic study, an evaluation of existing site conditions, and the Planned Unit Development Agreement, and as amended by the following conditions: 1. Realignment of the west parking lot entrance to align with the west school site entrance on the south side of Lake Valentine Road (Pick-up / Drop-off Access) to be completed prior to the start of the 2021-2022 school year. The School District will need to negotiate in good faith to complete easement or property acquisition from the adjacent parcel owned by State of Minnesota to accommodate the realignment of the west parking lot entrance. 2. Elimination of eastbound left turn movements at the east parking lot access upon completing the realignment of the west parking lot entrance noted above. A.

Signage identifuing no student drop-offor pickup shall be added where necessary. 14. Permanent roadway markings shall be added to delineate the turn lanes at the westem school entrance. Councilmember Holmes asked if the dedicated lane into the parent pickup area (Area 2) would be available for stacking. Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the intent for this area would be to have a right turn lane for vehicles traveling east bound. He commented as traffic saturates the parent pickup area there would be 150 foot space for queued vehicles without blocking the through lanes of Lake Valentine Road. Councilmember Holmes questioned if Area 6 was a stacking area for a dedicated right turn lane. Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated this was the case. Councilmember Holmes inquired why a raised median was being proposed in Area 4. Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained this was for safety purposes as it would be a short refuge for students. Councilmember Holmes asked if the school speed zone sign at Area 4 could be modifred and who could modifu this sign. 8 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 27,2020 Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained this sign would be managed by the City's Public Works Department. He noted the City Council would have the discretion to change the hours if adjustments were necessary. Councilmember Holmes believed the school should have access to the sign as well. She reported she heard from a resident recommending that the school speed limit be set at 25 miles per hour at all times and not just during the school day. She supported the 25 miles per hour speed limit being set at all times as well. Mayor Grant questioned who made the recommendation for the school speed zone Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the hours of operation were discussed during the traffic study. He noted the terms of the school speed zone were set by the City Council under separate action. Councilmember Scott asked if the proposed speed sign was similar to the sign being used at Valentine Hills Elementary. Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated this was the case. Councilmember Scott commented he would like to go with the proposed traffic plan and noted changes could be made in the future. Councilmember McClung stated the more he hears Councilmember Holmes speak about the speed zone, the more he supports the expansion of the time limit for the school speed zone. He discussed how the amount of activity differed between the high school and the elementary school. Mayor Grant agreed the traffic levels for the high school and elementary school were different. He reported the speed zone hours of operations for the high school could be revisited by the Council in the future. Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported this was the case and noted staff would be happy to support additional discussion regarding this matter. Mayor Grant questioned what change staff was proposing for this item. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla proposed an amendment to Item 1 that would read: Realignment of the west parking lot entrance to align with the west school site entrance on the south side of Lake Valentine Road (Pick-up / Drop-off Access) to be completed prior to the start of the 202l-2022 school year. The School District will need to negotiate in good faith to complete easement or property acquisition from the adjacent parcel owned by State of Minnesota to accommodate the realignment of the west parking lot entrance.

The proposed development site is approximately 5.32 acres and has a net density of 21.78 units per acre. However, when the plans were reviewed by the Metropolitan Council they were denied over concern that the City's recently approved 2040 Comprehensive Plan does not have language supporting increasing the densities above the maximum permitted in a specific land use district. [n order to move the project forward a minor text amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is required. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla reported the Planning Commission offers the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. Minnesota state law requires that all communities within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area update their Comprehensive Plans every ten years. 2. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. 3. The Metropolitan Council has previously denied the Comprehensive Plan Amendment citing that it does not have language supporting increasing the densities above the maximum permitted in a specific land use district. 4. The proposed amendment only affects the High Density Land Uses. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL _ APRIL 27,2020 ll 5. The proposed amendment only effects land guided for High Density south of Highways 96 and 10. 6. The proposed amended language has been vetted and is supported by the Metropolitan Council.

Councilmember McClung asked if the "West of County Road 10" language would include the triangle parcel for Arden Manor. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla reported this would be the case Further discussion ensued regarding the land that would be included within the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment. Councilmember McClung explained the language was trying to get at is the City exclusive of the TCAAP parcel. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated this was correct. Councilmember McClung suggested the language read south of County Road 96 or west of County Road 10. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla commented this would be the most clear language to use. City Administrator Perrault explained this text amendment would only allow for PUD's within land guided for High Density. Councilmember McClung questioned land in the City would be impacted by the proposed text amendment. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla reported the only land that would be impacted would be the Summit Development project. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 27,2020 Councilmember Holmes questioned if the language should be revised to state for land south of County Road 96 and west of County Road 10. She supported the language being made more specific. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla reported the amendment does allow Summit Development to move forward while also allowing for other PUD's on High Density land. He explained when this was previously discussed the Council was in favor of omitting the TCAAP area because it already had guiding language. For this reason, staff was recommending areas south of County Road 96 and/or west of County Road 10. Councilmember McClung commented the original language was sent to the Met Council. He indicated there must have been some push back on the original language. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla stated this was the case. Councilmember McClung questioned if a smaller area, such as the area south of County Road 96 or west of County Road l0 would be supported by the Met Council. Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla believed this would be supported by the Met Council. Councilmember Holmes commented she did not want to go through this process again or hold up the Summit Development. She questioned if the Council could change the language or if this would muddy up the hearing that was held tonight. City Attorney Jamnik explained this would depend on the Council's intent. He indicated there may be a difference of opinion on the original intent was. He reported the Council has the jurisdictional right to take the recommendation and shape it the way the Council deems appropriate for the Met Council's consideration and approval. Mayor Grant recommended the language read south of County Road 96 and south of County Road 10. Community Development ManagertCity Planner Mrosla recommended the language read south of County Road 96 or County Road 10 density may be increased. Councilmember McClung commented another way to narrow the area would be to state the land west of County Road l0 and north of I-694. Councilmember Scott supported this language change. Mayor Grant agreed. Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to see just the Summit property listed 12 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL _ APRIL 27,2020 l3 Community Development ManagerlCity Planner Mrosla stated this would limit the amount of redevelopment that could occur on any other parcels without another Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment.

Mayor Grant supported the clarity in this language Councilmember Holmes did not support this language as she did not believe Arden Manor should be included within the land area. Councilmember Scott supported Councilmember McClung's language. Councilmember McCIung stated to address Councilmember Holmes' concerns the language could be amended to read east of I-35W, north of I-694, south of County Road 96 and west of County Road 10.
