APPROVAL OF MINUTES
June 3, 2020 – Planning Commission Regular Meeting

PLANNING CASES
A. Planning Case 20-011; North Heights Lutheran Church – Conditional Use Permit
and Amended Planned Unit Development – Public Hearing
Associate Planner Hartmann stated the use of the Subject Property as a place of worship has
been in continuous operation since 1947. The City Council approved Planned Unit Development
Permit (PUD) Planning Case 84-21 in 1984 that gave the Applicants permission to operate a
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 2
church at the Subject Property. The PUD included conditions of approval such as a requirement
that the use of the church and supporting facilities with the R- l Zoning District shall be limited
to those uses and activities normally associated with a church operation. The PUD was amended
two (2) times in 1995 and 2000 respectively. In 2002, a Special/Conditional Use Permit was
approved for the North Heights Family Life Center to operate a program for high school aged
students with eighty-six (86) matriculated students on site, but the program was never
implemented and the permit has since been expired. The proposed use of the Subject Property at
that time was found to be consistent with its original approvals and there were no exterior
modifications proposed with that request. The one (1) condition of approval associated with this
previous request was that the main parking lot access drive for the secondary school use should
be from Highway 96 and North Heights was to direct as much traffic to the Highway 96 access
drive as possible.
Associate Planner Hartmann explained the proposed use would utilize existing classrooms,
gymnasium and playground. Entrance B will be used for child drop off and pickup as shown
below. Parent and staff will utilize the East Lot/B for parking. Hours of operation are 7:00 A.M.
and 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday each week, with pre-school lasting from September
through May of each year and the nursery use continuing over the summer. If approved, the
center would enroll up to 100 children between the ages of 33 months to 5 years old in either a
half-day or full-day pre-school curriculum. The Applicant states that the purpose of this proposal
is to better utilize the existing space and to meet the needs of the growing population of the north
suburbs.
Associate Planner Hartmann reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and provided
the Findings of Fact for review:
1. The Subject Property is located on an approximately 41 acre parcel in the R-1 Single
Family Residential District.
2. The Subject Property is located at 1700 Highway 96 W.
3. The Subject Property is utilized by the North Heights Lutheran Church.
4. The Subject Property has been approved for a house of worship use as defined by in
Section 1305.04 in the City Zoning Code.
5. The facilities of a church or other religious assembly may be used for a licensed pre-
school and childcare center and playground with a Conditional Use Permit.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated staff recommends approval of Planning Case 20-011 for a
Conditional Use Permit and Planned Unit Development Amendment at 1700 Highway 96 W,
based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the July
8th, 2020 Report to the Planning Commission:
1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the
conditions of approval. Any significant changes to the plans, as determined by the City
Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City
Council.
2. All conditions of the original Planned Unit Development shall remain in full force and
effect.
3. This approval does not include signs. A separate sign permit is required for all proposed
signage.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 3
4. A Zoning Permit shall be required for the fencing around the playground area.
5. A Building Permit shall be required for the interior improvements.
6. The Applicant shall modify the southern curb at the intersection of Snelling Avenue and
the private drive to restrict right turns onto Snelling Avenue. Prior to construction the
Applicant shall submit plans for engineering staff to review. A Right of Way permit is
required. The proposed improvements shall be completed no later than November 31,
2020.
7. The applicant shall designate and sign ten (10) parking stalls for parent drop-off/pick-up
during pore-school/nursery hours of operation in East Lot/B.
8. No expansion to enrollment beyond 100 students shall be permitted without City Council
approval.
9. Any violation of the conditions of this Conditional Use Permit may result in revocation of
the permit.
Associate Planner Hartmann 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 Gehrig opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Jefferys stated she could not see the slides. She asked if the slideshow for this
Planning Case was sent to the Planning Commission.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained the PowerPoint
presentation was sent to the Commissioners prior to this meeting.
Commissioner Jefferys questioned if the childcare facility would be providing food to the
children.
Associate Planner Hartmann commented food would be provided for the students and this
would be regulated by Ramsey County.
Commissioner Jones indicated he could not see the slideshow either. He asked if the
Commission had a quorum without him present.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated the Commission would still
have a quorum given the fact Commissioner Weber was in attendance.
Commissioner Jones asked what the timeline was for this project.
Associate Planner Hartmann reported the plan was to open the childcare facility this fall.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 4
Commissioner Lambeth discussed how a place of worship is defined within City Code and
understood this could include a childcare facility. He inquired if the applicant already had a
license from DHS for the facility.
Associate Planner Hartmann deferred this question to the applicant.
John Oldfield, representative from North Heights Lutheran Church, explained he has a DHS
application in for licensing with Ramsey County.
Commissioner Lambeth questioned how security would be managed at the pickup/drop-off
area.
Mr. Oldfield reported the area had been restriped and stop signs had been installed on either side
of the crosswalk to improve safety. He commented he did not anticipate there would be a
security issue with the children coming into the building.
Commissioner Subramanian applauded the church for proposing the childcare and preschool
facility in Arden Hills. He asked if an additional traffic study should be completed prior to the
school starting. He inquired if it was wise to have 100 children in this facility given the concerns
with COVID-19.
Mr. Oldfield stated North Heights had a COVID-19 plan for the entire facility. He discussed the
area the students would be in and noted it was quite large. He reported the students would be
able to social distance per the governor’s executive orders.
Associate Planner Hartmann explained the applicant had spoken to Public Works Director/City
Engineer Todd Blomstrom and he determined a traffic study was not necessary for this proposal.
Commissioner Vijums commented he supported the proposed plan.
Commissioner Wicklund asked what type of construction would occur to get traffic turning left
onto Snelling Avenue.
Associate Planner Hartmann reported the proposal would be to extend the curb on the right
hand side by 20 feet.
Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m.
Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment.
There being no comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 7:11 p.m.
Commissioner Wicklund stated he supported this Planning Case moving forward without
Condition 6. He believed Condition 6 was an unnecessary expense that should not be taken on by
the applicant.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented staff was requesting a
minor modification to the curb line to further minimize the turns.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 5
Commissioner Wicklund commented he would not make this a significant issue and noted he
was a fan of perpendicular intersections.
Commissioner Jones asked if there was an issue to have the daycare users entering the site
through the north lot off of Highway 96 rather than the east entrance off of Snelling Avenue.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated this was a possibility.
Commissioner Lambeth indicated he supported Commissioner Wicklund’s recommendation to
omit Condition 6.
Commissioner Vijums stated he did not object to Condition 6 and agreed it would be best to
provide direction regarding traffic flow.
Chair Gehrig indicated he supported the comments from Commissioner Wicklund and believed
Condition 6 was overly burdensome. He supported the Commission making a recommendation
regarding traffic flow into the site for the daycare facility.
Mr. Oldfield reported he could inform parents using the daycare facility that they would have to
enter and exit the site on Highway 96.
Commissioner Jefferys stated she did not believe Condition 6 was overly burdensome and
should remain a part of the CUP.
Commissioner Vijums agreed.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla recommended the Commission first
take action on the removal of Condition 6, prior to approving the CUP.
Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Subramanian seconded a motion to
recommend Condition 6 be removed consideration in Planning Case 20-011. A roll call vote
was taken. The motion carried 4-3 (Commissioners Jefferys, Lambeth and Vijums
opposed).
Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Subramanian seconded a motion to
recommend approval of Planning Case 20-011 for a Conditional Use Permit and Planned
Unit Development Amendment at 1700 Highway 96 W based on the findings of fact and the
submitted plans, as amended by the conditions, excluding Condition 6 in the July 8, 2020,
report to the Planning Commission. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried
unanimously (7-0).
B. Planning Case 20-013; Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Regarding Call Centers –
Public Hearing
Associate Planner Hartmann stated National Recoveries is a debt recovery service which
operates a call center within the Arden Hills Corporate Center at 4265 Lexington Avenue North.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 6
National Recoveries employs approximately 350-400 persons and has been a tenant of Arden
Hills Corporate Center since 2015.
Associate Planner Hartmann reported the available parking at the center does not meet the
demand of National Recoveries. Call center uses typically require ample parking due to the high
staffing demands. Because of this, National Recoveries has contracted with North Heights
Lutheran Church to provide overflow employee parking. North Heights Lutheran Church has
significant excess parking during the week. National Recoveries has a shuttle that transports staff
from the church to their facility. The existing offsite parking is permitted by ordinance section
1325.06 Subd D, 6, stating that “if required parking is located on a site other than the site on
which the principal building or use is located, a properly drawn legal instrument, executed by the
parties involved, must be filed with the City, which provides for such parking and which shall
not be terminated without approval by the City Council.” National Recoveries has provided the
City with the parking contacts.
Associate Planner Hartmann explained at its December 2019 work session, the Council
discussed call center parking requirements in regards to National Recoveries. Following a
discussion, the City Council directed staff to review and propose a zoning code amendment to
add a definition for “call centers” and parking count standards for the use. At its June 8th, 2020
work session, staff presented the proposed language to the Council. The Council directed staff to
move forward with adding a definition and parking counts requirements for call centers. If this
amendment is approved, National Recoveries would be considered legal non-conforming as the
user would not meet the new parking requirement. National Recoveries can continue to operate
their shuttle and provide their off-site parking, but if they expand or modify their facilities in a
way that would trigger a land use request requiring approval from the City Council, their
proposal would have to conform to the new call center requirements.
Associate Planner Hartmann reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and provided
the Findings of Fact for review:
1. The City of Arden Hills is proposing amendments to the language of Chapter 13 of the
Zoning Code.
2. Under City Code Section 1305.04, definitions for items found in the Zoning Code are laid
out in a glossary of terms.
3. City Code does not have a definition for a “Call Center” under City Code Section
1305.04.
4. City Code Section 1325.06, Subd. 1, J defines the number of parking spaces requirements
under each category of use within the Zoning Code.
5. Call Center uses are not defined under City Code Section 1325.06, Subd. 1, J.
6. Under City Code Section 1325.06, Subd. 1, J Business & Professional Office uses require
(1) one parking spot for every 250 square feet of office space.
7. The City is proposing that a Call Center use shall require 1 parking space per 150 square
feet.
8. Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations require a public hearing prior to action by
the City Council.
9. If this amendment is approved, National Recoveries will be considered legal
nonconforming as the user would not meet the new parking requirement.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 7
Associate Planner Hartmann reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on
this matter:
1. Recommend Approval
2. Recommend Approval with Amendments
3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Chair Gehrig opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Jefferys asked if future call centers could be approved in the City with shared
parking agreements in place, as was done for National Recoveries.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated this could be done but noted the new parking standards
would have to be met.
Commissioner Jones commented he could not support the proposed code amendment because
he believed the proposed parking requirements were still too low for call centers.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported staff had researched
parking requirements for communities around the nation and noted call centers were mostly
considered officer uses. He understood call centers had high staffing models and he explained
the City trying to set a standard. He reported call centers may be required to receive a
conditional use permit in the future given the intensity of their use.
Commissioner Jones stated he was please this use was being further considered.
Commissioner Lambeth questioned what lot the National Recoveries employees were parking
in at this time.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated the employees were parking in the south most lot,
designated Lot C. He explained only Highway 96 could be used for the shuttle service that was
provided by National Recoveries.
Chair Gehrig encouraged the Commission to keep the discussion to the proposed Code
Amendment and not on National Recoveries.
Commissioner Lambeth explained he was trying to better understand how much parking
National Recoveries required at North Heights Church.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented National Recoveries
employees have been parking at North Heights Church since 2015. He noted there are over 700
parking stalls onsite. He estimated National Recoveries utilizes 150 to 200 parking stalls at this
time.
Further discussion ensued regarding the parking at North Heights Church.
Chair Gehrig asked how staff arrived at the 150 square foot recommendation.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – July 8, 2020 8
Associate Planner Hartmann reported he reviewed other communities that had call center
definitions within their City Code and had defined call center parking requirements. He
explained these communities recommended 150 square feet.
Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m.
Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment.
There being no comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 7:46 p.m.
Commissioner Jones stated he supported the 150 foot parking standard.
Commissioner Lambeth agreed.
Commissioner Jones moved and Commissioner Jefferys seconded a motion to recommend
approval of Planning Case 20-013 for a City Code Amendment to Chapter 13 of the Zoning
Ordinance based on the findings of fact and the submitted Ordinance language provided in
the July 8, 2020, report to the Planning Commission. A roll call vote was taken. The
motion carried unanimously (7-0).
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
None.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 5, 2020 PC Agenda Item 3.B
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Joe Hartmann, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case #20-016 –Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Todd Hinz of Summit Design – Build LLC
Property Location: 3235 Lexington Avenue
Request: Minor Subdivision
Requested Action
Todd Hinz of Summit Design – Build LLC (“Applicant”) has submitted a land use application for
requested approval of a Minor Subdivision to subdivide an existing single-family lot located at
3235 Lexington Avenue into two (2) conforming single-family residential. The Subject Property
is zoned in the R-2, Single and Two Family Residential District and is guided as Low Density
Residential in the Land Use Plan.
Background
1. Overview of Request:
The Minor Subdivision is requested to allow for the subdivision of a single parcel located at 3235
Lexington Avenue into two (2) conforming parcels (Parcel A and Parcel B) as shown below. Parcel
B is expected for the development of a new single-family home.
City of Arden Hills
Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2020
P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-016 3235 Lexington Avenue Min Subd\Memos Reports
Page 2 of 6
The subject property is 40,287 square feet or 0.92 acres. The subject property includes an existing
single-family detached dwelling that was built in 1946 and an accessory structure. The existing
dwelling is connected to City utilities. The future dwelling on Parcel B would also be required to
connect to City sewer and water lines as well as install an approved driveway access as shown
below on Shoreline Lane.
Plan Evaluation
1. Chapter 11, Subdivision Ordinance Review
Section 1150.04 – Division or Consolidation of Platted Lots of Record
The owner of the platted lot to be so divided needs to file a registered land survey of the
lot(s) to be divided. The parcels resulting from the division cannot have an area, dimensions
or setbacks which are less than the minimum requirements specified for the zoning district in
which the parcels or tracts are located in the zoning ordinance.
The Planning Commission should determine if the proposed division will be detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to adjacent tracts in the area in which the subdivision tract is
located. In order to approve the request, proposed division must conform to the requirements
of the City Code.
Section 1130.08 – Public Use Dedications
The Subdivision Ordinance requires developers of subdivisions to dedicate to the public a
reasonable percentage of the tract to be developed. Section 1130.08 Subd. 3 of the Subdivision
Ordinance indicates that for a subdivision that results in new dwelling units of less than two and a
half (2.5) units per acre, the Applicant shall dedicate ten (10) percent of the buildable land area in
the subdivision or pay a park development fee of $6,500 per residential unit. A cash contribution
in lieu of land dedication may be required at the discretion of the City. Ten percent of the
City of Arden Hills
Planning Commission Meeting for August 5, 2020
P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-016 3235 Lexington Avenue Min Subd\Memos Reports
Page 3 of 6
development would be 0.09 acres which would not allow for a feasible park area. As a condition
of approval, the applicant shall pay a park development fee of $6,500 for the proposed single-
family residential lot B. This fee would only be applied to the proposed Parcel B.
2. Chapter 13, Zoning Code Review
Lot Size and Dimensions
The minimum lot area in the R-2 District is 11,000 square feet. The minimum lot width is 85 feet
and the minimum depth is 120 feet. The proposed Parcels A and B would meet the minimum
requirements for the R-1 District.
Structure Setbacks
The existing dwelling on Parcel A currently meets the R-2 District setback requirements and would
continue to meet these requirements with the proposed subdivision. Building plans have not been
submitted for Parcel B at this time, but based on the potential building pad shown for this parcel a
dwelling could be constructed to meet the setback requirements. Setbacks will be verified at the
time a building permit is submitted for Parcel B.
Lot Coverage
The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-2 District is 25 percent of the lot area. The
minimum landscape lot area is 65 percent. The proposed Parcel A would meet the structure and
landscape coverage requirements. Lot coverage for Parcel B would be verified at the time a
building permit is submitted, however, based on the potential building pad for the parcel it appears
that structure and landscape coverage requirements could be met.
Driveway and Residential Accesses
Each property in the subdivision is entitled to exactly one access to a public street. The permitted
width of accesses to streets is subject to County or State regulations, depending on whether the

connecting street is maintained by the city, county, or state. According to City Code Section
1325.06, Subd. 3 the minimum width of a driveway access into Shoreline Lane is ten (10) feet; the
maximum width permitted is twenty-two (22) feet wide. A driveway access may be placed
adjacent to property lines, but it cannot be placed closer than five (5) feet to an existing driveway
on an abutting parcel, and no driveway access can be placed closer than five (5) feet to any other
principal building. The plans submitted by the Applicant meet the requirements in the ordinance,
but the provisions of the code will be verified at the time when a driveway access permit is
submitted for Parcel B.
Additional Review
City Building Official
The City Building Official has reviewed the proposed Minor Subdivision and does not have any
comments at the time. A Building Permit application will be required for the new dwelling on
Parcel B.
Public Works Director/City Engineer
The Public Works Director/City Engineer has reviewed the proposed Minor Subdivision and does
not have any comments at this time.

Subject:3235 Lexington Ave Minor Subdivision Request Statement
Date:Thursday, July 23, 2020 3:47:01 PM
Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution.
Hello Joe,
Per your request here is a quick recap of our plans and intended uses of the property
currently located at 3235 Lexington Avenue:
For several months now myself, Todd Hinz, along with my clients Suzanne and Ben,
having been searching for a piece of land to build a new single family residence for
their growing family. The search requirements were as follows:
1. Arden Hills, Roseville, and Shoreview area
2. Not on a busy street
3. Park like setting with several full grown trees
4. Yard for their puppy to run and play
So obviously with park land to the North and with the driveway access coming off a
dead end street, this met all their criteria and they immediately fell in love with the
property. I had my realtor Brent Bartel contact Joseph Hartmann to check on the
viability of the lot split and from several conversations it was apparent that this parcel
meets all the necessary requirements for it to be a buildable lot.
Ben and Suzanne are currently having plans drawn by her uncle for a new 2 story
residence with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs, 3 car garage and a future deck
out towards the park. Once the plans are complete we would hope to submit for
building permit within 2 months after city approval of the lot split, hopefully early
October. Since the building market is currently quite busy construction has been
taking longer than usual so we would expect a 5 to 7 month build timeline with new
curb cut, driveway and landscaping to happen Spring of 2021 and sometime after
road restrictions have been lifted. Of note no legacy trees are to be removed as part
of the building process, with us making a point to keep the driveway access small to
not damage the pine trees on each side of the entry.
Thank you,
Todd E. Hinz
