9. NEW BUSINESS
A. Set Preliminary Levy and Establish Truth-In-Taxation Public Hearing Date
for Proposed Taxes Payable in 2022
• Resolution 2021-049 – Preliminary Levy
• Resolution 2021-050 – Preliminary Levy – Karth Lake Special Taxing
District
• Resolution 2021-051 – Truth-In-Taxation Public Hearing Date
Finance Director Bauman explained State law requires that cities certify their proposed property
tax levies to the County Auditor by September 30th. The proposed tax levy that is given
preliminary approval may be lowered but cannot be increased. Therefore, it is important that the
proposed tax levy provides adequate revenues to finance the 2022 Budget. The City Council needs
to decide the maximum levy that it is willing to approve and then adopt the proposed resolution. It
was noted the final levy will be set in December 2021. A budget workshop was held with the
Council on August 16, 2021. Staff was directed to provide proposed maximum levy increase
options from 3% to 5%. There will be another budget workshop in either October or November,
prior to the final levy and budget adoption meeting in December. Staff commented further on the
2022 preliminary levy, noting the projected revenues and expenditures, and recommended
approval.
Mayor Grant questioned when the Truth-In-Taxation Hearing would be held.
Finance Director Bauman stated this meeting would be held on December 13, 2021.
Councilmember Holden asked why street maintenance, sealcoating and resurfacing was
decreased within the budget.
Finance Director Bauman explained in 2021 the City spent under $200,000 for street
maintenance and the Public Works Director expects to do the similar amount of work in 2022.
Councilmember Holden indicated street maintenance was important to her and came at a great
value for the City when compared to full street reconstruction projects.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 4
Councilmember McClung stated he was comfortable with setting the levy at 3%.
Councilmember Holden requested further information regarding the public safety increases
projected for 2022.
Finance Director Bauman reported the expenses were estimated to increase by $75,520 in 2022.
Councilmember Holmes expressed concern with setting the levy increase at 3%. She believed
this was too low. She commented on the personnel changes that were occurring at City Hall and
noted other changes may occur in 2022. She recommended the levy increase be set at 5% noting
this amount can always be reduced by December.
Councilmember Scott concurred with Councilmember Holmes. He feared that the City was
underfunding its operations. While this may be okay for a couple of years, he believed it would
benefit the City to set the max levy at 5% versus 3%.
Councilmember Holden commented she could support setting the tax levy at 5% at this time, but
would want this percentage reduced in December.
Mayor Grant questioned what the underfunded amount was within the budget at 3%.
Finance Director Bauman explained this was currently $242,690.
Mayor Grant commented on the transfers out of the budget that occur on a yearly basis. He
reported these transfers were put into the PIR fund. He was of the opinion that the City could
keep the levy a little lower given the history of the transfers that have occurred over the past eight
years. He supported setting the preliminary levy at 4.5%. He stated he would like to see this
number move lower by December, because it can.
Councilmember Holmes discussed the transfers out, noting that residents of Arden Hills were
asking for more capital improvements, which were covered by the PIR fund.
Mayor Grant reviewed the 2021 tax rates for cities in Ramsey County. He noted Arden Hills
was one of the lowest in the County. He recommended the levy be set at 4% to 4.5%.
Councilmember McClung indicated he could support the tax levy increasing to 4%.
Councilmember Holden agreed the preliminary levy should be set at 4% to 4.5%. She
commented further on the levy percentages and PIR transfers that had been approved over the past
eight years. She stated she could not support a preliminary tax levy of 5%.
Mayor Grant asked if the Councilmembers supporting a 5% levy increase could support this
being reduced to 4.5% at this time.
Councilmember Holmes stated she could support this.
Councilmember Scott commented stated he could support 4.5% as well.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 5
Finance Director Bauman discussed the adjusted amount of the levy with the Council if the
percentage were set at 4.5%.
MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #2021-049 – Setting the Preliminary Levy for
Taxes Payable in 2022 setting the Preliminary Levy at 4.5% with a total
certified about payable at $4,472,680. A roll call vote was taken. The motion
carried 4-1 (Councilmember McClung opposed).
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #2021-050 – Setting the Preliminary Levy for
Taxes Payable in 2022 for the Karth Lake Special Taxing District. A roll call
vote was taken. The motion carried (5-0).
MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution #2021-051 – Approving the Truth-In-Taxation

Bolton & Menk Project Engineer Fisher replied they had been. There would be some future
permit items for the watershed but permanent storm water management and meeting State Aid
rules had been signed off on.
Mr. Fisher stated they would review the project background, the State Aid design standards and
Rice Creek Watershed District requirements, three design options and the associated costs. The
project is on Snelling Avenue North from Highway 51 to County Road E.
Mr. Fisher explained the design analysis; evaluation of alternative designs for the corridor,
meetings with the MSA office, and possibility of variance approval.
Councilmember Scott asked if the road currently met the MSA standards.
Mr. Fisher replied that the existing roadway does meet MSA for rehabilitation but not for
reconstruction.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021

Mr. Fisher explained the difference between rural and urban roadways, reconditioning versus
replacement, and a walk versus a trail. This project area is currently considered rural with no curb
and gutter, but they could reconstruct it as half rural and half urban. He reviewed the State Aid
Design Standards for rural and urban roads, and shared use paths (trails).
Councilmember Holden asked if smaller lane width slows people down from speeding.
Mr. Fisher replied that was correct, but a road being physically narrower will have a greater
impact than just striping the road narrower.
Mr. Fisher explained the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. The project is not
considered a reconstruction by their definition. Permits will be required for erosion/sediment
control and wetland impacts.
Mr. Fisher discussed the three design options and objectives. He presented drawings of the
options and explained each. Option 1 would be to leave the roadway as a Rural Typical Section
that would match the existing corridor design. Option 2 would be a Rural/Urban Typical Section
that provides on-road space for bicycles and an off-road concrete walk for pedestrians. Option 3
would be an Urban Typical Section providing an off-road shared use trail for bicycle and
pedestrian users.
Councilmember McClung asked if Option 3 was best for traffic calming.
Mr. Fisher responded that it was the best option for traffic calming.
Mayor Grant asked if Option 3 offered future reconstruction options and ease of design.
Mr. Fisher said assuming rules don’t change, there would be no reason why a similar technique
on a future reconstruction using reclamation couldn’t be done.
Councilmember Holmes felt Option 3 was the safest with the road being narrower for traffic
calming, and pedestrians and bicyclists off the road.
Councilmember Scott asked if there was a minimum design speed on Option 3.
Mr. Fisher replied there was not.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen added they had jurisdiction over the speed limit but
they couldn’t alter it because of MSA rules.
Mr. Fisher compared the costs of the three options which included estimated construction costs
with a 15% contingency and estimated total project costs with Engineering design, administration
and overhead.
Councilmember Holden asked what the tree removal fee would be for each option.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021

Mr. Fisher stated there would be no additional charge as they were planning to stick to the
original 40-foot footprint, unless there were some utilities work that would require it.
Councilmember Holmes wondered if the public should be able to comment on all three designs.
Mayor Grant thought they should decide on a preferred design.
Councilmember Holmes felt Option 3 was the best design with the walkway on the east.
Councilmember Scott felt Option 3 with walk on the west.
Mayor Grant liked Option 3 but was undecided which side he preferred for the walkway.
Councilmember McClung also liked Option 3 with the walkway on the east due to fewer
driveway crossings.
Councilmember Holden was agreeable to Option 2 or 3, but liked the west side for the walkway.
Mr. Fisher will coordinate a public meeting and present all three options for review and
comment. Feedback received from the meeting will be presented to Council.
Councilmember Holden requested they provide artist rendering drawings at the public meeting
in addition to the cross-section drawings.
B. State of the City Update
City Administrator Perrault stated that the State of the City is currently set as in in-person event
at the Marsden Room in the Ramsey County Public Works building. He asked if Council would
like to keep it as an in-person event.
Councilmember Scott said he would like to plan for in-person but be flexible.
Councilmember Holmes agreed to leave it live because of the date coming up soon.
Councilmember McClung said he was torn on which path to choose.
City Administrator Perrault noted there should discuss and assign topics and reviewed the
current list.
Councilmember Holmes felt they only needed Arden Hills Foundation under City Points of
Interest. She would like to add a section about trails; expense and how Council sets priorities.
She felt they didn’t need a litigation update, but they should talk about TCAAP.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
4
Councilmember Scott asked if they’d talk about COVID affecting city finances and staffing
issues.
City Administrator Perrault said they would talk about the small business relief grant and could
add a note about staffing.
Dave McClung noted that he would probably not be at a live meeting.
Councilmember Holden couldn’t guarantee that she could be there.
City Administrator Perrault suggested they consider a pre-recorded video now and a live event
in the spring.
Councilmember Holmes agreed with that idea.
Councilmember McClung thought they could prepare as though everyone would be there in
person or via Zoom. He would like to participate if possible.
Councilmember Scott said he would agree to a pre-recorded video now and a formal event in the
spring.
After further discussion it was decided each Councilmember would take a section and pre-record
it, to be compiled by NineNorth, and they could possibly have an in-person event in the spring. It
was agreed the video release could be pushed back to late October or early November.
C. Lake Johanna Fire Department Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) Discussion
City Administrator Perrault reported that last year cities of Arden Hills, North Oaks and
Shoreview entered into an agreement to facilitate purchasing the land for a new fire station.
Setting up a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) now will allow authority and flexibility to pursue
different funding options, such as issuing bonds. The JPA would be officially formed when the
fire department transfers the land to the JPA and the voting structure would require 4/5ths for any
action (the votes would be Shoreview 3 members, Arden Hills 1 member, and North Oaks 1
member). The approval of the JPA would ideally happen by all three cities prior to October 15,
but they could extend to the end of the year if necessary.
Councilmember McClung suggested they give each city one vote.
Councilmember Holden agreed.
Councilmember Scott also agreed but didn’t have an issue with 3-1-1.
Councilmember McClung said he understands the reasoning of the 4/5 vote but felt a 1-1-1 vote
would move the cities forward as a group.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
5
City Administrator Perrault noted that North Oaks has authorized their City Administrator to
enter in an agreement, Shoreview hadn’t taken it to their Council . He discussed the pros and cons
of the 3-1-1 voting proposal.
Councilmember McClung said he was looking for consensus and liked the 1-1-1 option better.
Mayor Grant mentioned that in a 3-1-1 model, if Shoreview wanted to veto something they
could vote their 3 shares and the other two cities are outvoted. But an affirmative vote by
Shoreview would be the same as 1-1-1. He felt it basically gives Shoreview veto power.
Discussion continued regarding the voting preference.
City Administrator Perrault stated he was hearing a 1-1-1 preference and would take that to
Shoreview for consideration. He asked if they had a preference for or against an option for a non -
voting board member for Shoreview that would potentially give them an extra voice in
conversations instead of the 3-1-1 vote.
Councilmember Holmes suggested the Board have five members as presented but only one
voting member from each city.
Councilmember Holden didn’t like the idea of a non-voting member.
Councilmember McClung noted the non-voting member would still need to be an elected
official.
Further discussion ensued.
Mayor Grant directed staff to go forward with 1-1-1.
Councilmember Holden thought it might look better for the legislative process to have a 1-1-1
vote.
Councilmember Holmes asked if the fire department was seeking a financial source for the new
station.
City Administrator Perrault explained they are working with the three cities providing
background and statistics. The JPA could seek bonds or the cities could individually, as agreed to
by the board.
Councilmember Holden stated that if there was funding needed the board could decide how they
would want to raise funds.
City Administrator Perrault said they could add “unless otherwise agreed upon”.
Councilmember Holms asked if there might be other cities that would want to join the JDA.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
6
Councilmember McClung felt other local cities have their own departments and couldn’t
imagine any other city would want to join our district.
D. Work Session Discussion
Councilmember Holden wondered if the number of work session items could be balanced more
from meeting to meeting. She would be open to more but shorter work sessions. She also
suggested possibly not having the first regular meetings in January, February and March.
Mayor Grant commented that the organizational meeting in January could be combined with the
second meeting.
Councilmember McClung said he was in favor of one regular meeting the first three months of
the year.
Councilmember Holden said they used to do the organizational meeting in December.
Mayor Grant directed staff to combine the organizational meeting with December or January’s
second meeting, and staff could potentially cancel the first meetings in January, February and
March.
E. Public Comments Discussion
Councilmember Holden said if they are voting on something with a deadline why would a
resident want to stand up to speak to Council when they would assume Councilmember’s mi nds
would already be made up.
Councilmember McClung said he was in favor of constraining time for comments, possibly put
public comments at the end of the meeting, but people should be able to talk.
Councilmember Holden suggested they do a test period.
Mayor Grant reported that he talked to the City Attorney and he acknowledged that other cities
councils do public comments differently and they were free to change, but suggested field-testing
changes for a period of time. It would be up to the Council to decide what parameters they’d like.
Councilmember Holden said she is in favor of the City Attorney suggesting parameters to be
discussed. She suggested a six-month test run.
City Administrator Perrault said he will work with the City Attorney and Mayor to revise the
agenda notation for public comments.
Mayor Grant suggested he send an email to Council with the changes and they can start the trial
with the first meeting of October.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021

F. Council Tracker
Mayor Grant suggested the Council review the tracker on their own and report any changes or
additions to Staff.
Roll call was taken to close the meeting for Item G.
G. Union Negotiations Update (Closed per M.S. 13D.03, Subd. 1(b) and 179A.01 to
179A.25)
City Administrator Perrault gave the City Council an update regarding contract negotiations and
asked for direction.
The meeting was reopened for Council and Staff Comments.
2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS
Councilmember Holmes remarked that there is a lightly marked crosswalk at Mounds View
High School that shouldn’t be used and wondered if staff was able to reach anyone regarding it.
City Administrator Perrault said it has been repainted but the color is slightly different from the
asphalt so it still looks like a crosswalk.
Councilmember Holmes said there is another area to the east that is also being used.
Councilmember Scott noted there was a program run by the Metropolitan Council for water
conservation that may be worthwhile to look into. He also thought the Council should consider
modifying the ordinance that limits the number of drive-through restaurants.
Mayor Grant asked for an update on the EAB.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen said the company may be able to get the trees
treated next week.
Mayor Grant asked for an update on ICWC workers as they didn’t show up the last time they
were scheduled.
Interim Public Works Director Swearingen responded there was a last minute scheduling
conflict so they are making a more formal agreement. There was an issue with the quality of
workers earlier this summer that was reported to the group leader and they have cycled some
workers out of the program.
Mayor Grant said he has received feedback regarding Ramsey County Parks possibly being left
open 24/7. He asked staff to put a newsflash on the website regarding the issue.

informed that the City intends to certify delinquent charges to Ramsey County to be collected with
property taxes. These customers have the right to a hearing in front of the City Council to discuss
this matter prior to certification.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m.
With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m.

informing them of their account status and the City’s intent to certify any unpaid delinquent
amounts to Ramsey County for collection with property taxes. They were asked to pay the
delinquent balance prior to the public hearing, which is scheduled for September 27. The public
hearing allows the property owners the opportunity to address the City Council on this matter
prior to certification. To date, two accounts remain unpaid. Arden Hills’ Municipal Code
authorizes the certification of delinquent charges against the properties on which the alarm
systems are installed.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
C. Planning Case 21-020 – Planned Unit Development Amendment – Bethel
University
Senior Planner Jagoe stated Bethel University (“The Applicant”) is requesting a Planned Unit
Development Amendment for a proposed project located on Outlot A (“Subject Property”) within
the 2 Pine Tree North Plat for a multi-tenant freestanding sign. The subject property falls within
Sign District 7. With the recent subdivision of land, the Applicant no longer owns the parcel of
land where their existing multi-tenant sign is located. The existing sign exceeds the height and
sign area as allowed in this sign district. With the construction of a new sign, the Applicant is
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 4
subject to compliance with the applicable sign district regulations. The Applicant is seeking
flexibility to Sign District 4.
Senior Planner Jagoe explained in 2013, Bethel University acquired the Country Financial
facility at 2 Pine Tree Drive. The subject property is located within the B-2 General Business
District, where higher educational uses are permitted by Conditional Use Permit (CUP). At its
November 25, 2013 meeting, the City Council approved a CUP for Bethel University to use the
existing facility as higher education. The campus is referenced as their “Anderson Center”
location. The approx. 227,000 square foot multi-tenant building is a mixture of higher education
and office/commercial uses.
Senior Planner Jagoe reported the property was subdivided in 2020 and split into three lots and
an outlot to be used for utilities and access drive within the plat. Bethel University retained their
parcel with existing development and Outlot A. At that same time, a Master Planned Unit
Development was approved. Subsequently a Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved in
January 2021 for New Perspective Senior Living to be developed on Lot 1. Lot 2 was sold to the
Lake Johanna Fire Department and is currently undeveloped. Bethel University has an existing
multi-tenant freestanding sign that is located along Pine Tree Drive on Lot 2. They are planning to
move the multi-tenant freestanding sign to Outlot A which is owned by Bethel University. With
this relocation, the Applicant is planning upgrades to the freestanding sign design and size.
Senior Planner Jagoe reviewed the Site Data and Plan Evaluation in further detail with the
Council and requested the Council hold a Public Hearing.
Mayor Grant stated there was 15 feet of right of way from the curb on Pine Tree Drive.
Senior Planner Jagoe reported this was the case. She explained from the road edge to the sign
front there would be 20 feet.
Councilmember Holmes questioned how far south the sign would be from County Road E2.
Senior Planner Jagoe indicated there was one property north of this, meaning the sign would be
just south of the Old National Bank property.
Councilmember Holmes reported this sign would be located along the new road.
Senior Planner Jagoe stated this was the case. Further discussion ensued regarding the location
of the new sign.
Councilmember Scott clarified the existing sign was being removed in order for the new sign to
be installed.
Senior Planner Jagoe reported this would be done in order to move the sign from the fire
department property to Bethel property.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:26 p.m.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 5
With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:27 p.m.
D. Planning Case 20-022 – Zoning Code Amendment – Chapter 13 – Section
1325.07, Subd. 6A – Keeping of Chickens
Senior Planner Jagoe stated starting in 2020, the City Council began discussions on ordinance
language with regards to the keeping of chickens in Arden Hills. A survey was conducted in
November 2020 to garner input from residents on the relaxation of standards for the keeping of
chickens. Those survey results were presented to the City Council at a work session in January.
Staff was provided guidance on general parameters for consideration of a proposed chickens
ordinance. That draft language was reviewed by the City Council at two work sessions on July
12th and July 26th, 2021.
Senior Planner Jagoe reported in preparing the draft ordinance language, the City deferred to the
document that is used by a number of adjacent communities titled “Recommendations for
Municipal Regulation of Urban Chickens”. This guide was the basis for development of ordinance
standards and best practices for licensing requirements. Similar to the Cities of Stillwater and
Falcon Heights, the proposed language includes a requirement that a resident who intends to keep
chickens shall have read the document outlining best care practices. At the July 26th special work
session, Staff was directed to bring forward the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission
in September for the first review and to hold a public hearing to receive public comment on the
keeping of chickens. Staff discussed the Ordinance amendments in further detail and requested
the Council hold a Public Hearing.
Mayor Grant suggested the language within Subd. 6, Item D be reconsidered to address both
single and double car detached garages.
Councilmember McClung commented on the email he received from a property owner in the
southwestern end of the City. He explained he supported keeping coop and detached structures
under the 728 square feet.
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.
Mike Loosbrock, 4535 Lakeshore Place, discussed the proposed Ordinance amendments. He
noted he and his wife did not make the Tuesday, September 8 Planning Commission meeting
because it was the first day of school. He addressed the number of chickens that would be
allowed. He noted chickens were a flock animal and he believed three chickens was too low of a
number. He indicated the number of birds also assisted in keeping the birds warm during the
winter months. He commented further on how egg production ebbs and flows during the winter
months and with only three birds this would not provide very many eggs. He encouraged the City
to reconsider having a maximum of eight birds. He proposed the language for the coop size be set
with a minimum per bird (four square feet). He discussed the proposed temperature requirements
and stated they were not practical. He noted chickens were cold hardy animals and noted
supplemental heat was only needed to keep the eggs from freezing. He commented on how
important it was to properly ventilate the coops, especially in the winter months. He believed it
was onerous to require neighbor consent, especially given the strict rules that were in place for the
keeping of chickens. He discussed the screening requirements and noted some neighbors may
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 6
enjoy seeing the chickens. He recommended neighbor consent not be required. He explained that
leg banding was not common and suggested this not be required. He commented on the references
that were made within the Chicken Ordinance and recommended the City refer to the University
of Minnesota Extension Office for a better balance of information.
With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:44 p.m.
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution 2021-053 Adopting and Confirming Quarterly Special Assessments
for Delinquent Utilities
Finance Director Bauman stated delinquent utility amounts are certified to Ramsey County
quarterly. A list of utility accounts with a delinquent balance was compiled and notices dated
August 11, 2021 were mailed. These customers were informed of their delinquent status and were
asked to make payment of the delinquent balance by September 17, 2021. Utility accounts with an
unpaid delinquent balance would be certified to Ramsey County to be added to property taxes
payable in 2022. The certification amount is equal to the unpaid delinquent balance plus an eight
percent penalty. The list of remaining delinquent utility accounts, as of September 21, 2021 was
reviewed by staff. The City will request that Ramsey County levy the delinquent balances against
the respective properties.
MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Scott seconded a motion
to adopt Resolution #2021-053 – Adopting and Confirming Quarterly Special
Assessments for Delinquent Utilities. A roll call vote was taken. The motion
carried (4-0).

subject to compliance with the applicable sign district regulations. The Applicant is seeking
flexibility to Sign District 4.
Senior Planner Jagoe reported the City Council was asked to hold the required public hearing for

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 8
Councilmember Scott asked if the proposed exterior lighting would be a concern at this location,
especially during the winter months.
Senior Planner Jagoe deferred this question to the applicant. She noted externally lit signs were
allowed in this zoning district.
MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 21-020 for a Planned Unit Development

MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to
approve an ordinance No. 2021-008 for Planning Case 21-022 for a Zoning
Code Amendment to Chapter 13 and Sections 400 and 410 of the Arden Hills
City Code to allow the keeping of chickens in residential zoning districts
based on the findings of fact and the September 27, 2021 Report to the City
Council with a language change striking the term single car from Sub 6A,
Subsection B so that it reads detached garage.
Councilmember Holmes stated she was pleased the City was following the Urban Chicken
information, but noted the leg banding was a Council recommendation. She explained the
Council believed it would be valuable to have chickens leg banded in the event they were to
escape their coop. However, she was second guessing this recommendation now due to the fact
the Urban Chicken people did not support leg banding. She suggested the Council discuss this
topic further.
Councilmember Scott explained the City required vaccinations and tags for other domesticated
animals and for this reason, he would support leg banding for chickens.
Councilmember McClung reported he supported keeping the language as is.
Mayor Grant commented he would like to leave the language in place as well. He understood
that the language was not common but would help the City identify missing or stray birds.
Councilmember Holmes thanked the Council for their feedback. She asked that the chicken
keeping Ordinance be reviewed at a Council work session in one year.
Councilmember Scott stated he agreed with the resident that spoke this evening and
recommended the number of birds in the flock be raised to at least four but no more than six.
Councilmember Holmes explained the Council discussed this topic a number of times and the
idea was to start with three with the understanding the chicken keeping Ordinance would be
reviewed after one year.
Councilmember McClung stated he was comfortable leaving the number of birds at three
knowing this would be reviewed again in one year.
Mayor Grant concurred noting the keeping of chickens in general, including the number of birds,
could be reviewed in one year.
A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried (4-0).
MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to
Authorize Publication of Summary Ordinance 2021-008. A roll call vote was
taken. The motion carried (4-0).
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 10
E. Ordinance 2021-009 Amending the 2021 Fee Schedule in Relation to Chicken
License Fees and Zoning Permit (Chicken Coops) and Authorizing
Publication of Summary Ordinance
Mayor Grant noted that in conjunction with the Ordinance update as discussed in the previous
agenda item regarding the keeping of chickens, a fee for a chicken license and a zoning permit
would need to be included in the City’s Fee Schedule.
Councilmember Scott noted the proposed fee was for a two year license to keep chickens.
Mayor Grant stated this was the case, noting it was a flat fee, not per bird.
MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to
adopt Ordinance 2021-009 Amending Appendix A – 2021 Fee Schedule
regarding a license for the keeping of chickens and zoning permit (chicken
coop) and Authorizing Publication of Summary Ordinance 2021-009. A roll
call vote was taken. The motion carried (4-0).
10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
None.

National Guard who were deploying to Fort Riley Kansas.
Councilmember Holmes congratulated David Swearingen for his new appointment as the City’s
Public Works Director.
Councilmember Holmes commented the City has been working with the Mounds View High
School and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department to address parking and pedestrian safety.
Councilmember Holmes thanked the Rotary Club for painting the hockey rink at Perry Park.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 11
Councilmember Holmes suggested the Council approve a Resolution that would set hours for
City parks. She noted Ramsey County is discussing changes to their ordinances that would allow
County parks to be open 24 hours a day.
Mayor Grant explained he has received comments from several residents about opening Tony
Schmidt Park 24 hours a day. He indicated after dark there were different things happening within
the park and for this reason, he supported the City adopting a Resolution or sending a letter to
Ramsey County voicing the City’s concerns.
Council discussed and directed staff to begin preparing a letter.
Mayor Grant congratulated David Swearingen on his new position with the City as the Public
Works Director. He reported this year’s PMP went very well. He indicated this was a very well
deserved promotion.
Mayor Grant stated St. Paul Water Authority has removed the watering ban.

SUBJECT: Additional Comp Time Hours for Union Employees
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• An additional sixteen hours of comp time for Union Employees to be used between December
1, 2021 and March 31, 2022.
All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted.
Discussion
The City Council discussed providing the Union Employees, or the Public Works Maintenance
Workers, an additional sixteen hours of comp time in recognition of their front-line employee status
during the on-going COVID pandemic. These additional hours are to be used between December 1,
2021 and March 31, 2022. Should an employee fail to use these hours they will lose them. The
additional sixteen hours will not count towards their annual comp time cap of eighty hours.
Following this approval, Finance will make the necessary adjustments in the payroll system.
Budget Impact
There is a possibility of an increase in overtime costs if the absence of an employee(s) on any
given day causes another to incur additional hours.

SUBJECT: Planning Case #21-017 – Mounds View Public Schools Planned Unit
Development Amendment
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Amended Planned Unit Development Agreement with Mounds View Public Schools for
Mounds View High School, based on the City Council approval Planning Case 21-017 on
August 23, 2021.
This items requires a simple majority.
Background
On August 23, 2021, the City Council approved a Planned Unit Development Amendment for
Mounds View Public Schools at 1900 Lake Valentine Road. Planning Case 18-014 for a Planned
Unit Development was approved on May 22, 2019 and subsequently amended on April 27, 2020,
with Mounds View Public Schools for Mounds View High School. The amendment in April 2020
added 14 additional conditions to the existing Planned Unit Development to address existing traffic
and pedestrian safety issues. The Applicant originally proposed two separate phases of traffic and
pedestrian safety improvements for Lake Valentine Road. Phase 1 safety improvements were
completed. Phase 2 traffic and pedestrian safety improvements were scheduled for construction
in 2021 in order to allow the School District to acquire additional property from the State of
Minnesota.
The Applicant has been working with the State of Minnesota for nearly two years on purchasing
property, but has been unsuccessful in obtaining an easement or acquisition of land. The current
Page 2 of 2
schedule in the approved PUD does not allow the School District sufficient time for completion in
2021 due to design changes for realignment on school district land. The Applicant has requested
the City Council consider an extension of the deadline to substantial completion by mid-August
2022.
This extension requires a Second Amendment to the Development Agreement between the City
and the “Developer”. The City Attorney has prepared the Amended Agreement and the document
has been reviewed and approved by the Applicant and staff (Attachment A).
Options and Motion Language
Staff has provided the following motion language for this case.
1. Approval: Motion to approve the Amended Planned Unit Development Agreement for Mounds
View Public Schools based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 21-017 on August
23, 2021.
2. Denial: Motion to deny the Amended Planned Unit Development Agreement for Mounds
View Public Schools based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 21-017 on August
23, 2021: the City Council should identify findings to deny should specifically reference the
reasons for denial and why those reasons cannot be mitigated.

PUBLIC HEARING – 8A
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 11, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case # 21-019 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Launch Properties
Property Location: 3737 Lexington Avenue N. and 1133 Grey Fox Road
Request: Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Master Planned Unit Development, and Site
Plan Review
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider the Following:
Hold the required public hearing for Planning Case 21-019 an application for Preliminary Plat,
Final Plat, Master, Planned Unit Development and Site Plan Review for a project located at 3737
Lexington Avenue N. and 1133 Grey Fox Road (“Subject Property”). The City Council will be
asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item 9A.
Background
Launch Properties (“The Applicant”), on behalf of Aldi, is requesting a Preliminary Plat, Final
Plat, Master Planned Unit Development, and Site Plan Review for a proposed project on 3737
Lexington Avenue N. (“Subject Property”) and 1133 Grey Fox Road. The Property is currently
owned by STORE Master Funding III, LLC. The site is currently developed as a vacant industrial
building with an associated parking lot. This area includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is
bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway.
This area is used by a number of small and large businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing,
distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This area was largely developed between the 1950s
and 1970s, though the retail area along Lexington Avenue has had some new development and
redevelopment in the last 15 years. This area is marked as an area of possible redevelopment in
2040.
1. Proposal and Use:
The two sites are currently developed with one vacant industrial building and associated parking
lot developed over both lots. The proposal includes a lot reconfiguration that would adjust the
Page 2 of 17
existing lot line to the east. The site is currently developed with a vacant industrial building and
associated parking lot. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and redevelop
the site with a new +/- 19,480 square foot ALDI grocery store and an additional pad site with an
+/- 5,300 square foot building purposed for a national dental tenant (~ 2,800 square feet) and Bank
of America (~2,500 square feet).
2. Previous City Council Review
The City Council discussed this project at a Work Session on April 26, 2021. Minutes from the
meetings are included in Attachment N.
Plan Evaluation
A PUD proposal shall identify any requested modifications from the applicable zoning
requirements as well as the reasons why the modifications would be in the public interest and
would be consistent with the purpose of the underlying B-3 District. Modifications to these
requirements may be granted by the City without a variance through the PUD process. A full
evaluation of the proposal was presented to the Planning Commission on September 8, 2021. The
memo to the Planning Commission on this case is provided in Attachment L. Draft minutes from
the meeting are included in Attachment M.
Chapter 11, Subdivisions
1. Preliminary and Final Plat
A. Lot Line Adjustment and Planned Unit Development
The Applicant is proposing to plat the Subject Property to adjust the lot lines between the two
parcels as shown in the image below. The redevelopment of the site will consist of two buildings
that function under shared parking, access, maintenance, and other items. In the B-3 zoning
district, proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to
existing sites shall use the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. A PUD promotes the
development of land in a unified manner by treating the entire development as a single entity.
The purpose of the PUD process is to achieve a higher quality and better project than would
otherwise be possible if the strict application of the zoning and subdivision requirements were
met.
The platting process is required to create new parcels of land or to adjust the boundary between
two parcels unless otherwise exempted under the ordinance. A Final Plat is the final map,
drawing or chart indicating the final layout for City approval. The Final Plat includes the detailed
survey description for each lot in the plat plus notes and dedication, recording and approval
statements. The Final Plat is the “recorded document” submitted to the county register and must
conform to all state laws.
The applicant has submitted a project narrative explaining the proposed project in further detail
and where flexibility is being requested. A complete plan set has been submitted for the
Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Master PUD, and Site Plan Review for both lots.

Proposed Final Plat:
The lot area requirements for the B-3 Zoning District are a minimum lot size of 13,000 square
feet and 100 feet of lot width and 130 feet of lot depth. The proposed subdivision meets all
dimensional requirements.
Adjusted
Lot Line
Page 4 of 17
Lot 2 is a corner lot with road frontage along Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road. A corner
lot shall maintain front yard requirements for each street frontage (i.e. on Lexington Avenue and
Grey Fox Road). On a corner lot, the shortest street lot line shall be the front lot line (i.e. Grey
Fox Road). On a corner lot, the longest street lot line shall be a side lot line (i.e. Lexington
Avenue). Setback requirements will be reviewed later in this report.
B. Park Dedication
Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision Code (Public Use Dedications) states that the City may
require as a condition of approval for a Planned Unit Development the dedication of land, or
payment in lieu, and park improvement fees if it is determined the project will result in an
increased demand for park land or improvements. In establishing the amount required the City is
to take into consideration previous payments or dedications for park purposes.
The two lots have been previously developed. The City Council in review of the application
shall determine whether or not the proposed development will create an additional demand on
park land.

2.Design Standards -Section 1325.05 and 1325.055
A.Building Positioning –Flexibility Requested
Page 6 of 17
Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, E of the Arden Hills City Code states “at least fifty percent (50%) of
the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line.” The Applicant is
requesting flexibility on this requirement. The front setback in the B-3 District is 50 feet from the
property line. The proposed bank/dental clinic building will be 19.2 feet from the property line
abutting Lexington Avenue and +/- 138 feet from the property line abutting Grey Fox Road. The
Aldi building will be 74 feet from the property line abutting Grey Fox Road.
As shown in the above table, the Applicant is seeking flexibility for both buildings on the
setback requirements in the B-3 District.
B.Exterior Materials –Flexibility Requested
At least seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior building materials should be made of brick
masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank,
transparent glass or any combination thereof. Trim and other accent or decorative features may
be metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco. Undesirable materials include simulated brick,
vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete blocks or panels,
brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, pre-cast tilt-up walls, and mirrored or reflective glass.
The Applicant is proposing to construct the two buildings of similar materials and design features
which is intended to harmonize the development and maintain the City’s focus on high quality and
timeless materials.
The proposed building elevations consist of masonry, cedar fiber cement panels and aluminum
composite panels with metal coping. For the Aldi building, the Developer is proposing to use a
product called Spec-Brik for the masonry
material. Spec-Brik is said to be a concrete
masonry unit that provides a brick like texture in
colors that replicate a traditional clay brick. The
masonry face will be 4’ wide by 8’ high and then
12’ wide by 8’ high on the cart wall only.
Installation is similar to a brick and mortar
process. The image to the right is from a
different manufacturer that Aldi had noted in
their original submission as Alternate No. 2. This
manufacturer is no longer being requested as part of this review, but it is a comparable product to
Spec-Brik. Staff is providing this as a general illustration of the difference between traditional
brick and the proposed concrete masonry product.
The Developer is seeking flexibility for approval of the masonry product for the Aldi building
towards meeting the desired materials as brick masonry in combination with fiber cement boards
and aluminum composite panels. The City Council should review whether or not these buildings
materials would be considered acceptable in meeting the 75% threshold with desired materials
on all four elevations. Additionally, the City Council is asked to provide comment on the extent
of the aluminum composite panel in the building design. On the anchor building for Aldi, the
use of aluminum panels ranges from 23% of the east elevation to 14% on the south elevation as a
focal design element around the Aldi signage on the building facades. The non-primary facades
consists of primarily masonry and cement panels of the total façade area.

Page 7 of 17
The transparency requirements for businesses within the B-3 District have been considered in the
development and the proposal will use a combination of clear and opaque windows in the
building design. Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, F. states that fifty percent (50%) of all first level
building façades that front a public street shall be comprised of transparent windows or doors in
order to allow views of interior uses and activities. The Applicant is seeking flexibility to this
standard on the south elevation with 11% of the façade being clear glazing.
The figure below identifies the proposed building materials for Aldi.
Page 8 of 17
With regards to the outparcel multi-tenant building design, the City Code requires that façade
treatment shall be carried around all side. Architectural elements such as, but not limited to,
windows, shutters, awnings, doors, masonry exterior veneers, cornice detailing, window casings,
and other architectural details should demonstrate consistency on all sides of the structure that
are reasonably visible to the general public. Plain flat walls shall not be permitted when
viewable from the public right-of-way or public areas. In addition, Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, F.
states that fifty percent (50%) of all first level building façades that front a public street shall be
comprised of transparent windows or doors in order to allow views of interior uses and activities.
The City Council should review the architectural design of outparcel building for four sided
architecture and transparency requirements. The Applicant is seeking flexibility to the design
standards for outparcel building to allow the use of Belden Brick in satisfaction of meeting the
desired materials under brick masonry. The Applicant notes that the outparcel building will
consist in the overall design of the building with use of 82% of preferred materials. Since the
Planning Commission review, the outparcel building design has been revised and all four
elevations meet or exceed the minimum 75% preferred building requirements, if consideration is
given to the proposed masonry.
In the original design for the outparcel building, the east elevation did not have any windows and
the use of aluminum panels was a focal design element around tenant signage. During the
Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant indicated a willingness to consider adding spandrel
glass to the Lexington Avenue elevation of the outparcel building. The Planning Commission
did include as a recommended condition of approval that this elevation be redesigned to meet
building and transparency requirements. The Applicant has revised the east elevation to include
use of opaque spandrel glass for 29% of the wall area. Flexibility is requested for transparency
requirements on percentage required and opacity.

The figure below identifies the proposed exterior materials for the outparcel building.
Two renderings of the building facades for the proposed are provided as part of this report. A
full plan set of building elevations for both buildings is included as Attachments F and G.
C.Lighting – Meets Requirements
The Zoning Code requires exterior lighting to be consistent in type, design, scale, and color to
create unity in the Districts. Exterior lighting for parking lots and buildings shall not be excessive
and shall be directed at their intended purposes. The proposed plan includes wall mounted lights
around the building, and area lights on 25’ poles in the parking lot and drive aisles. The proposed
lighting is consistent with the use and the surrounding area. The Applicant has submitted a
photometric plan that identifies type of light fixture, design, and pole heights. As shown on the
photometric plan there are two areas along the north and west property line around the Aldi
building where lumen levels exceed 0.4 foot candles as measured at the property lines. The subject
parcel is not adjacent to a residential property. As a condition of approval, all lighting shall be
downward directed shoebox style with flush lenses. Details about the proposed lighting are found
in Attachment I.
D.Screening and Fencing – Meets Requirements
Screens and fencing help minimize adverse impacts of public nuisances, such as noise. The
proposed trash enclosure is located on the north side of the Aldi building, and is proposed to be
constructed on three sides using brick with cedar boards for the gates to match materials used on
the building. The plans do not identify any rooftop mechanical equipment. Staff recommends
including a requirement screening of any rooftop equipment be constructed and located so as to
completely screen them from view of adjacent streets as a condition of approval.
Page 10 of 17
E. Landscaping – Flexibility Requested
Section 1320.06 – District Requirements Chart of the City Code requires a minimum landscape
lot area of 25 percent in the B-3 District. The Applicant is proposing a landscape lot area of 16
percent. Since the Planning Commission review, the site layout has been adjusted slightly to allow
for an additional 1,350 square feet of greenspace to be added to the site. In their narrative, the
Applicant states the project will provide significant landscaped green space along Lexington
Avenue at grade level. They’ve noted that there is currently virtually no green space on the
property and the proposed development is nearly ¼ acre more landscaping than the existing site.
The Applicant was originally proposing the addition of 27 trees throughout the site. Following the
Planning Commission review, the Applicant has increased that number to 30 trees to be planted.
The City Code requires a minimum of one tree be provided along the right-of-way of every 50 feet
of public street frontage. The proposed development would be required to plant 14 trees along the
Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road right-of-way’s. The Applicant was originally proposing to
plant four trees due to utility easements and associated conflicts. This number has been increased
to seven boulevard trees. Staff has confirmed the existing boulevard trees along Lexington Avenue
will be removed as part of the road reconstruction project and disturbed areas will be restored with
sod. A landscape plan is included as Attachment H.
Section 1325.04, Subdivision 2, requires landscaping on lots used for drive-up windows to the
minimum widths:
Front Lot Line 20’
Side Lot Line 10’
Rear Lot Line 15’
The Applicant is requesting flexibility to these requirements. The drive-thru lane on the north side
of the property will be located approximately 8’ from the north property line and 5’ from the east
property line.
F. Snow Storage
Adequate area should be designed for snow storage such that clear visibility shall be afforded from
the property to any public street. The Applicant has updated their site plan to show two areas where
snow will be stored onsite. Those areas are located in the northwest and southeast corners.
They’ve indicated that having two dedicated areas for snow storage will result in minimal impact
on the parking needs (i.e. tenants and employees), easier plowing of the snow for the contractor,
and lessen the impact to one area of the site. The Applicant indicates that they’ve arranged with
the contractor to melt or remove snow if there is snowfall of more than 60” in a season. During
the concept plan discussion, adequate snow storage and/or removal of snow was a concern with
the proposed development. The Applicant had indicated that the upkeep of landscaping, parking
lot maintenance, and snow removal would be shared services between the two properties.
G. Parking Setbacks – Flexibility Requested
The City Code requires off-street parking spaces to be located a minimum of 20 feet from the right-
of-way of any public street and 5 feet from any side or rear property lines. Flexibility has been
requested for the parking spaces on the south side of the development along Grey Fox Road and
between parcels. The Applicant is proposing a 5 foot setback from the ROW on the east side of
Page 11 of 17
the site access point along Grey Fox Road. Then site plan has been modified on the west side of
the site access point (south of Aldi building) to pull the parking closer to the building and increase
the setback to 9 feet. This revision allowed for additional greenspace in this area. Setbacks from
internal lot lines are less of a concern since the site will operate with a shared agreement under the
PUD.
H. Number of Parking Stalls – Flexibility Requested
Per City Code 1325.06, there are general categories that determine the number of parking spaces
that would need to be provided. The following provisions would apply based on the proposed uses:
x Retail Sales - one (1) parking space for each 150 sq. ft. of gross floor area.
x Business & Professional Offices - one (1) parking space for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor
area.
x Clinics – one (1) for each doctor or dentist plus one (1) for each nurse, technician, or
professional and one (1) for each 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area.
x Other Business and Industry – one (1) space for each 1,000 square feet of floor area.
The proposed plan would consist of a one-story 19,480 square foot grocery store, and a multi-
tenant building with a 2,500 square foot bank and 2,800 square foot dental clinic. The Applicant
was originally proposing 147 parking spaces total for the development, but has decreased the
amount to 140 parking spaces. Again, this reduction in parking allowed for the landscaping area
to be increased. The following table breaks down the off-street parking requirements based on the
proposed uses. Based on the site information provided, the development would be required to
establish 120 parking spaces. Access to the parking lot will be provided via a two-way entrance
off Grey Fox Road.

*The Applicant has noted in their site data that two (2) off-street parking spaces are being allocated
in their parking counts towards staffing requirements for the dental clinic. That minimum number
may need to be increased based on actual tenant staffing.
Page 12 of 17
The Applicant has shown a smaller building square footage for the grocery store to be reflective
of retail area only on the Site Data Plan Sheet C-010. Included in the submission was an
Operations Plan which shows a variety of uses within the grocery store (i.e. retail, office, and
storage). Each use is subject to minimum parking requirements in the Zoning Code and is reflected
in the table above. With the changes made to the site layout, the Aldi’s site has two (2) less parking
spaces than the minimum requirement. However, under the shared parking through the Master
PUD the proposed development exceeds the minimum requirement by 20 spaces.
I. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation – Meets Requirements
Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, P states new building construction shall include construction of a
minimum of six (6) foot concrete sidewalk adjacent to or in all right-of-way. There are currently
no sidewalks along Lexington Avenue or Grey Fox Road. The Applicant is proposing a six (6)
foot concrete sidewalk along Grey Fox Road. This was modified from the Planning Commission
review in order to meet ordinance requirements. The Planning Commission did included this item
as a recommended condition for approval.
The Applicant is not proposing a sidewalk along Lexington Avenue but notes that one is planned
as part of the future Lexington Avenue Public Improvement Project. This would be consistent
with the approval of the Lexington Station Phase 3 project. Staff has verified that the City and
County will split the cost of new sidewalks 50/50. The City Council may consider as part of an
approval motion adding a condition that states “The Developer shall construct a sidewalk from
Lexington Avenue into the Subject Site. The Developer shall use best efforts to obtain approvals
from Ramsey County to construct a sidewalk along Lexington Avenue should the County not
proceed with their Lexington Avenue Improvements.”
The Applicant is proposing a bicycle rack on the east side of the Aldi building. The proposed bike
rack conforms to zoning requirements in Section 1325.05 Subd, 8, Q.
J. Freestanding Signs – Flexibility Requested
Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed one freestanding sign measuring up to 100 square feet in
area and not exceeding 16 feet in height. The Applicant is proposing a shared monument sign in
the SE corner of the site. On-premise signage is defined as “A sign whose message is related to
the property or the activity and use occurring on the property on which the sign is located. On-
premise signs include multi-tenant identification signs that may advertise tenants on different
property provided such tenants are within the same approved PUD and parking is shared between
properties.” The Applicant would like to utilize this requirement as part of the Master Planned
Unit Development approval. During the Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant provided
verbal confirmation that they would reduce the sign copy area to 100 square feet on the
freestanding sign to meet Sign District 5 requirements. The proposed internally illuminated
freestanding sign is 16 feet in height. However, an updated rendering was not submitted in advance
of the City Council review. Based on the plans as submitted, the Applicant is requesting flexibility
for a total sign copy area of 108 square feet allocated between the three tenants as illustrated in
Attachment F.
Page 13 of 17
K.Wall Signs – Flexibility Requested
Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed wall signs up to 80 square feet per elevation with public
road frontage. The Applicant has shown one 75 square foot wall sign on the south (facing Grey
Fox Road) and east (facing Lexington Avenue) on the Aldi’s building. The Aldi building would
have a total copy area for wall signs of 150 square feet. Then the outparcel multi-tenant building
will feature a wall sign for each tenant of 33 square feet located above their main entrances of the
building on the west elevation (facing interior of site), a 14 square foot sign each on the east
elevation (facing Lexington Avenue), and then one 33 square foot sign on their respective spaces
on the north/south elevation. For a total of 160 square feet of wall signage on the outparcel
building. All signage is noted to be internally lit. The signage plans are shown in Attachment F.
L.Drive-Thru Facilities – Flexibility Requested
Section 1325.04 of the Zoning Code lists special requirements for drive-up facilities. One of these
requirements states no drive up facility shall be located within 1,320’ of another facility. The
nearest drive-up facility is the Arby’s, located directly north of the Subject Property. Section
1320.09 allows this requirement to be waived if the following conditions are met:
A. The operation consists of one or more drive-up windows and is an integral part of a building
containing one or more other allowed uses, or the operation is part of an architecturally
unified complex containing two or more businesses using drive-up windows.
B. Shared access drives and shared parking are utilized by all such businesses using drive-up
windows in said building or complex.
Sign materials
are noted to be
consistent with
building
materials and
will consist of
brick and metal
panels.
Page 14 of 17
C. Only one building or architecturally unified complex containing two or more businesses
using drive-up windows will be allowed in addition to one freestanding business using a
drive-up window.
D. The architecture and the site, grading, circulation, landscaping, screening and signage plans
shall unify the appearance and function of the complex or building.
E. An architecturally unified complex may consist of one or more buildings on one or more
parcels if the intent of providing a unified appearance and function is not compromised.
F. The applicant shall submit a circulation plan that demonstrates that the use will not interfere
or reduce the safety of non-motorized movements, specifically pedestrian and bicyclists.
During the concept review, the Applicant was originally proposing a coffee shop/food and
beverage tenant for the northern endcap of the outparcel building. That triggered discussion on
possible traffic congestion, shared parking, and sufficient space for drive-thru stacking. The tenant
occupancy has changed as part of this review and the north unit will now be occupied by a bank.
The Applicant has stated that the change in tenant will eliminate the concerns previously
expressed. The proposal still includes a drive-up window for the bank on the north side of the
building. The Applicant is not proposing any electronic devices (i.e. loud speakers or menu board)
as part of this application. Customers accessing the bank drive-thru facility will go directly to the
teller/bank window for transactions. The applicant is requesting flexibility from this requirement
to allow the drive-thru component.
M. Traffic Study and Site Circulation
No new access is proposed as part of this review. The Applicant intends to utilize two of the
existing accesses and remove two. Access 1 is a two-way entrance that will be located on Grey
Fox Road in the same place as the existing. Access 2 is also existing and leads onto the alley on
the western boundary of the site. It is anticipated that vehicles will primarily use Access 1 to
access the site. The accesses located approx. 60 feet 400 feet west of Lexington Avenue and Grey
Fox Road will be removed. A traffic study has been prepared (see Attachment J for summary
section of report). The study reviewed existing operations within the area, evaluated traffic
impacts to the roadway network, and recommended improvements to the proposed development
site. It should be noted that this study was completed analyzing the trip generation between a
grocery store, bank, and fast food restaurant with drive-thru facility. With the tenant change, the
Applicant is not proposing to install the side street stop control at the site access due to the lessened
site intensity between the bank and dental clinic uses which they’ve noted should prevent
congestion in the parking areas.
With the proposed retention of the western access onto the alley located on the adjacent site at
3728 Dunlap Street, the City Attorney has suggested that the Applicant provide evidence of or
obtain an ingress/egress easement. This was a recommended condition included in the Planning
Commission motion.
During the concept review, the Applicant was asked to demonstrate how semitrailer traffic would
maneuver around the site for access to the loading dock on the north side of the proposed Aldi
building. The Applicant has provided as part of their submission plans illustrating vehicle
movements and pedestrian routes. Those documents are included in the site plan exhibits. These
plans were reviewed by the Fire Marshal and determined to be adequate for emergency service
Page 15 of 17
access as presented. The City Engineer has also evaluated turning radius and determined the site
functionality to be sufficient.
3. 1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications
A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be brought
before the City Council. The applicant or its representative shall be given the opportunity to appear
before the Planning Commission to answer questions or give explanations regarding the proposal.
Upon completion of the public hearing and its study and consideration of the application, the
Planning Commission shall submit its written report, containing its findings, conclusions, and
recommendations as to the application, to the City Council.

INTRODUCTION
Launch Properties is proposing a 19,209-square foot supermarket, an 1,850-square foot walk-in bank, and
a 3,550-square foot restaurant with a drive through on the northwest corner of the intersection of Lexington
Avenue & Grey Fox Road in Arden Hills, MN. The site is currently industrial and manufacturing land uses.
The existing site is an approximately 56,000-square foot, industrial use building. Exhibit 1 shows the
proposed project location. All exhibits are included in Appendix A.
EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS
The proposed development is located on the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue & Grey Fox Road in
Arden Hills, Minnesota. The following intersections will be included in the traffic capacity analysis:
x Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road
x Grey Fox Road and Site Access 1 (East)
x Grey Fox Road and Site Access 2 (West)
The study intersections listed above are shown in Exhibit 1.
EXISTING ROADWAYS
Access to the development will be on Grey Fox Road. Following provides a detailed description of the
surrounding roadways.
Lexington Avenue (CSAH 51) is currently a north-south five-lane undivided County State Aid
Highway (CSAH) with two lanes in each direction and a two way left turn lane, however in spring
of 2022 construction is planned to convert the roadway to a four-lane divided roadway, these
geometric changes will be incorporated into the Opening Year (2023) and Design Year (2040)
models. The MnDOT Functional Classification System Map classifies Lexington Avenue as a Minor
Arterial Roadway. The MnDOT Traffic Mapping Application reports an annual average daily traffic
(AADT) of 21,300 vehicles per day (vpd) in 2019 on Lexington Avenue. The posted speed limit on
Lexington Avenue is 40 miles per hour (mph).
Grey Fox Road is a two-lane east-west roadway with one lane in each direction. Grey Fox Road
is classified as a Local Road according to the MnDOT Functional Classification System Map. The
MnDOT Traffic Mapping Application reports the AADT on Grey Fox Road as 3,450 vpd in 2017.
The current posted speed limit on Grey Fox Road is 30 mph.
Exhibit 2 provides the future intersection geometry and intersection control for the study intersections.
EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES
To analyze the traffic operations at the study intersection, weekday peak period turning movement counts
were collected on Thursday, June 17, 2021. Exhibit 3 provides a summary of the weekday AM and PM
peak hour turning traffic volumes. The turning movement count data is provided in Appendix B.
The network AM peak hour was determined to be 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM and the network PM peak hour was
determined to be 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM.
5 Grey Fox Road Redevelopment – Arden Hills
Traffic Impact Analysis │ July 2021
The 2021 turning movement counts were compared to historic AADT on Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox
Road and 2018 turning movement counts in the area to determine if there are still variations in traffic
volumes due to COVID-19. Overall, the 2021 turning movement counts were greater than historic AADT
and the peak hour volumes were similar to the 2018 turning movement counts so an adjustment factor was
not applied to the turning movement counts.
BACKGROUND GROWTH AND COMMITTED TRAFFIC
Historical AADT data provided by MnDOT’s Interactive Traffic Mapping Application and the Lexington
Station Phase 3 Traffic Study conducted by SRF in February 2021 were reviewed to develop a background
growth rate to forecast peak hour volumes at the study intersections for Opening Year (2023) and Design
Year (2040). Based on historic growth rates and prior traffic study, a 0.5% annual growth rate was applied
to the Existing (2021) traffic volumes to develop the Opening Year (2023) and Design Year (2040) turning
movement volumes.
In addition to background growth, the trips generated by the Phase 3 of the Lexington Station Development
were added to study intersections, these trips were assigned as documented in the Lexington Station Phase
3 Traffic Study for all analysis scenarios.
With the reconstruction of Lexington Avenue, the access approximately 500 feet south of the Lexington
Avenue & Grey Fox Road, that serves Cub Foods and the strip mall to the south will be converted to a ¾
access. This would result in the eastbound left turning traffic destined to the north at the access to reroute
to the Grey Fox Road & Lexington Avenue signal. The redistributed exiting volumes were taken from the
Lexington Avenue Reconstruction (I-694 to CR E) Traffic Study completed in April 2019 by Alliant
Engineering; these redistributed trips were included at the study area intersections for all analysis
scenarios.
Exhibit 4 shows the Opening Year No-Build (2023) turning movement volumes and Exhibit 5 shows the
Horizon Year No-Build (2040) turning movement volumes.
PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES
There is an existing trail on the east side of Lexington Avenue, on the west side of Lexington Avenue there
is a sidewalk south of Grey Fox Road. There are marked crosswalks and pedestrian push-buttons on all
approaches of Lexington Avenue & Grey Fox Road. There are no sidewalks adjacent to the site on Grey
Fox Road.
With the Lexington Avenue Reconstruction Project that is scheduled to be constructed in 2022, pedestrian
facilities will be improved. Additionally, the sidewalk west of Lexington Avenue will be extended to the north
to Red Fox Road, providing pedestrian facilities on both sides of Lexington Avenue. An east-west sidewalk
is proposed running east-west along the southern boundary of the proposed site (i.e. on the north side of
Grey Fox Road) that would provide a pedestrian facility along Grey Fox Road.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
SITE TRIP GENERATION
The trip-generating potential of the proposed development was calculated using the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Tenth Edition. Standard ITE trip rates were used
to develop the anticipated total trips generated by the site.

The average rate for ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 850 (Supermarket), ITE LUC 911 (Walk-in Bank), and ITE
LUC 934 (Fast Food Restaurant with Drive Through) were used to calculate the trip generation potential of
the site. Table 1 provides a summary of the number of trips anticipated to be generated during the weekday
AM and PM peak hours, including internal capture reduction. As shown, the site is anticipated to generate
236 new trips during the AM peak hour (128 entering, 108 exiting) and 262 new trips during the PM peak
hour (135 entering, 127 exiting).
Table 1 – Site Trip Generation
For this analysis, it was assumed that all site trips will be vehicle trips. To be conservative, it was
assumed that all site trips would be new trips and no mode split reductions for trips via transit, bike or
walking were used.
SITE TRIP DISTRIBUTION
The site trips were distributed to the adjacent roadways based on the current traffic patterns in the area and
a general assessment of the major regional roadways surrounding the study area. In general, the following
global trip distribution was assumed for the development:
x 50% to/from the north on Lexington Avenue
x 40% to/from the south on Lexington Avenue
x 10% to/from the west on Grey Fox Road
The trip distribution for the site-generated traffic is shown in Exhibit 6.
SITE ACCESSES AND ASSIGNMENT
The site will include two (2) accesses. Access 1 will be located on Grey Fox Road, approximately 260 feet
west of Lexington Avenue, in the same space as the existing access, with two egress lanes and one ingress
lane. Access 2 will be onto the alley on the western boundary of the site which also provides access to Grey
Fox Road, with one egress lane and one ingress lane. vehicles are anticipated to primarily use Access 1 to
access the site.
Additionally, two of the existing accesses are proposed to be removed. The accesses located approximately
60 feet and 400 feet west of Lexington Avenue & Grey Fox Road are proposed to be removed.
The proposed site plan is included in Appendix C. The site trips were assigned to the study intersections
as shown in Exhibit 7.

Traffic Impact Analysis │ July 2021
CAPACITY ANALYSIS
A capacity analysis was performed to quantify the delay and level of service at the study intersections during
the weekday AM and PM peak hours. The capacity analysis was performed using Synchro/SimTraffic.
Existing signal timings used in the analysis were provided by Ramsey County.
The capacity of an intersection quantifies its ability to accommodate traffic volumes and is measured in
average delay per vehicle. It is expressed in terms of level of service (LOS) which ranges from A to F, with
LOS A as the highest (best traffic flow and least delay), LOS E as saturated or at-capacity conditions, and
LOS F as the lowest (oversaturated conditions). The LOS grades shown below, which are provided in the
Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), quantify and categorize the driver’s
discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and travel times experienced as a result of intersection control
and the resulting traffic queuing. A detailed description of each LOS rating can be found in Table 2. The
range of control delay for each rating (as detailed in the HCM) is also shown in Table 2. Because signalized
intersections are expected to carry a larger volume of vehicles and stopping is required during red time,
higher delays are tolerated for the corresponding LOS ratings.
Table 2 – Level of Service Information
Level of
Service
Average Control Delay
(seconds/vehicle) Description
A 0-10 (Unsignalized); 0-10
(Signalized)
Minimal control delay; traffic operates at primarily free-flow conditions; unimpeded
movement within traffic stream.
B >10-15 (Unsignalized);
>10-20 (Signalized)
Minor control delay at signalized intersections; traffic operates at a fairly unimpeded level
with slightly restricted movement within traffic stream.
C >15-25 (Unsignalized);
>20-35 (Signalized)
Moderate control delay; movement within traffic stream more restricted than at LOS B;
formation of queues contributes to lower average travel speeds.
D >25-35 (Unsignalized);
>35-55 (Signalized)
Considerable control delay that may be substantially increased by small increases in flow;
average travel speeds continue to decrease.
E >35-50 (Unsignalized);
>55-80 (Signalized) High control delay; average travel speed no more than 33 percent of free flow speed.
F >50 (Unsignalized); >80
(Signalized)
Extremely high control delay; extensive queuing and high volumes create exceedingly
restricted traffic flow.
Traffic models for each scenario were developed using Synchro/SimTraffic, and the delay and queueing
were evaluated for each scenario. Due to the scheduled reconstruction of Lexington Avenue in 2022, the
existing conditions were not analyzed. The scenarios that were analyzed are as follows:
x Opening Year (2023) No-Build
x Opening Year (2023) Build
x Design Year (2040) No-Build
x Design Year (2040) Build
OPENING YEAR (2023) NO-BUILD CONDITIONS
A capacity analysis was performed for Opening Year (2023) No-Build conditions in order to develop
baseline operating conditions for the opening year. The analysis was performed using Synchro/SimTraffic.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Launch Properties is proposing a 19,209-square foot supermarket, an 1,850-square foot walk-in bank, and
a 3,550-square foot restaurant with a drive through on the northwest corner of the intersection of Lexington
Avenue & Grey Fox Road in Arden Hills, MN. The site is anticipated to generate 236 new trips during the
AM peak hour (128 entering, 108 exiting) and 262 new trips during the PM peak hour (135 entering, 127
exiting).
Site access is proposed to include two (2) full accesses, one of the proposed accesses will all be located
on Grey Fox Road 260 feet west of Lexington Avenue and the other will be located on Grey Fox Road at
the alley that runs along the western boundary of the site.
A capacity analysis was performed for Opening Year (2023) No-Build, Opening Year (2023) Build, Design
Year (2040) No-Build, and Design Year (2040) Build. In all four scenarios, the three study intersections are
anticipated to operate at LOS C or better in the AM and PM peak hours. Additionally, all individual
movements are anticipated to operate at LOS D or better.
It is recommended to install side street stop control at the site access. No other geometric changes are
required as a result of the development.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 8, 2021 PC Agenda Item XX
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case #21-019 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Launch Properties
Property Location: 3737 Lexington Avenue N. & 1133 Grey Fox Road
Request: Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Master Planned Unit Development, and
Site Plan Review
Requested Action
Launch Properties (“The Applicant”), on behalf of Aldi, is requesting a Preliminary Plat, Final
Plat, Master Planned Unit Development, and Site Plan Review for a proposed project on 3737
Lexington Avenue N. (“Subject Property”) and 1133 Grey Fox Road. The subject property is
currently two lots with one building developed over both lots. The proposal includes a lot
reconfiguration that would adjust the existing lot line to the east. This development includes the
demolition of the existing vacant industrial building and redevelop the parcels with two separate
one-story buildings, one 19,480 square foot grocery store and one 5,350 square foot dental/office
building.
Background
1. Overview of Request
The Applicant has submitted a land use application for Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Master Planned
Unit Development, and Site Plan Review, proposing to redevelop a 2.48-acre site located at 3737
Lexington Avenue N. The site is currently developed with a vacant industrial building and
associated parking lot. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and redevelop
the site with a new +/- 19,480 square foot ALDI grocery store and an additional pad site with an
+/- 5,300 square foot building purposed for a national dental tenant (~ 2,800 square feet) and Bank
of America (~2,500 square feet). The property would be subdivided into two lots.
The Property is currently owned by STORE Master Funding III, LLC. The site is currently
developed as a vacant industrial building with an associated parking lot. This area includes Red
Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51, Interstate 694, and
the Canadian Pacific railway. This area is used by a number of small and large businesses for a
variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This area was largely
developed between the 1950s and 1970s, though the retail area along Lexington Avenue has had
Attachment L
some new development and redevelopment in the last 15 years. This area is marked as an area of
possible redevelopment in 2040.
Plan Evaluation
Chapter 11, Subdivisions
1. Preliminary and Final Plat
A. Lot Line Adjustment and Planned Unit Development
The Applicant is proposing to plat the Subject Property to adjust the lot lines between the two
parcels as shown in the image below. The redevelopment of the site will consist of two buildings
that function under shared parking, access, maintenance, and other items. In the B-3 zoning
district, proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to
existing sites shall use the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. A PUD promotes the
development of land in a unified manner by treating the entire development as a single entity.
The purpose of the PUD process is to achieve a higher quality and better project than would
otherwise be possible if the strict application of the zoning and subdivision requirements were
met.
The platting process is required to create new parcels of land or to adjust the boundary between
two parcels unless otherwise exempted under the ordinance. A Final Plat is the final map,
drawing or chart indicating the final layout for City approval. The Final Plat includes the detailed
survey description for each lot in the plat plus notes and dedication, recording and approval
statements. The Final Plat is the “recorded document” submitted to the county register and must
conform to all state laws.
The applicant has submitted a project narrative explaining the proposed project in further detail
and where flexibility is being requested. A complete plan set has been submitted for the
Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Master PUD, and Site Plan Review for both lots.
Existing Lot Configuration:
Proposed Final Plat:
Adjusted
Lot Line
The lot area requirements for the B-3 Zoning District are a minimum lot size of 13,000 square
feet and 100 feet of lot width and 130 feet of lot depth. The proposed subdivision meets all
dimensional requirements.
Lot 2 is a corner lot with road frontage along Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road. A corner
lot shall maintain front yard requirements for each street frontage (i.e. on Lexington Avenue and
Grey Fox Road). On a corner lot, the shortest street lot line shall be the front lot line (i.e. Grey
Fox Road). On a corner lot, the longest street lot line shall be a side lot line (i.e. Lexington
Avenue). Setback requirements will be reviewed later in this report.
B. Park Dedication
Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision Code (Public Use Dedications) states that the City may
require as a condition of approval for a Planned Unit Development the dedication of land, or
payment in lieu, and park improvement fees if it is determined the project will result in an
increased demand for park land or improvements. In establishing the amount required the City is
to take into consideration previous payments or dedications for park purposes.
The two lots have been previously developed. The Planning Commission may make a
recommendation as to whether or not the proposed development will create an additional
demand on park land.
Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review
1. District Provisions (B-3 Service Business District) – Section 1320

The proposed development seeks flexibility under the Master Planned Unit Development for the
general district provision requirements.
2. Design Standards -Section 1325.05 and 1325.055
A. Building Positioning –Flexibility Requested
Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, E of the Arden Hills City Code states “at least fifty percent (50%) of
the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line.” The Applicant is
requesting flexibility on this requirement. The front setback in the B-3 District is 50 feet from the
property line. The proposed bank/dental clinic building will be 19.2 feet from the property line
abutting Lexington Avenue and +/- 138 feet from the property line abutting Grey Fox Road. The
Aldi building will be 74 feet from the property line abutting Grey Fox Road.
As shown in the above table, the Applicant is seeking flexibility for both buildings on the
setback requirements in the B-3 District.
B. Exterior Materials –Flexibility Requested
At least seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior building materials should be made of brick
masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank,
transparent glass or any combination thereof. Trim and other accent or decorative features may
be metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco. Undesirable materials include simulated brick,
vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete blocks or panels,
brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, pre-cast tilt-up walls, and mirrored or reflective glass.
The Applicant is proposing to construct the two buildings of similar materials and design features
which is intended to harmonize the development and maintain the City’s focus on high quality and
timeless materials.
The proposed building elevations consist of brick masonry, cedar fiber cement panels and
aluminum composite panels with metal coping. The Aldi building design has met the 75%
threshold with desired materials on all four elevations. The Planning Commission should make a
determination as to whether or not the extent of the aluminum composite panel is acceptable in
the building design. On the anchor building for Aldi, the use of aluminum panels ranges from
23% of the east elevation to 14% on the south elevation as a focal design element around the
Aldi signage on the building facades. The non-primary facades consists of primarily masonry
and cement panels of the total façade area.
The transparency requirements for businesses within the B-3 District have been considered in the
development and the proposal will use a combination of clear and opaque windows in the
building design. Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, F. states that fifty percent (50%) of all first level
building façades that front a public street shall be comprised of transparent windows or doors in
order to allow views of interior uses and activities. The Applicant is seeking flexibility to this
standard on the south elevation with 11% of the façade being clear glazing.
With regards to the outparcel multi-tenant building design, the City Code requires that façade
treatment shall be carried around all side. Architectural elements such as, but not limited to,
windows, shutters, awnings, doors, masonry exterior veneers, cornice detailing, window casings,
and other architectural details should demonstrate consistency on all sides of the structure that
are reasonably visible to the general public. Plain flat walls shall not be permitted when
viewable from the public right-of-way or public areas. In addition, Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, F.
states that fifty percent (50%) of all first level building façades that front a public street shall be
comprised of transparent windows or doors in order to allow views of interior uses and activities.
The Planning Commission should review the architectural design of outparcel building for four
sided architecture and transparency requirements. The Applicant is seeking flexibility to the
design standards. The east elevation will not feature any windows and the use of aluminum
panels is a focal design element around tenant signage. The Applicant notes that the outparcel
building will consist in the overall design of the building with use of 76% of preferred materials.
The north façade is the only elevation to exceed the minimum preferred building requirements at
90%. The south façade (Grey Fox Road) is 73%, the west façade (interior facing) is 72%, and
the east façade (Lexington Avenue) is 70%.
Two renderings of the building facades for the proposed are provided as part of this report. A
full plan set of building elevations for both buildings is included as Attachment F. The figure
below identifies the proposed building materials.
C. Lighting –Meets Requirements
The Zoning Code requires exterior lighting to be consistent in type, design, scale, and color to
create unity in the Districts. Exterior lighting for parking lots and buildings shall not be excessive
and shall be directed at their intended purposes. The proposed plan includes wall mounted lights
around the building, and area lights on 25’ poles in the parking lot and drive aisles. The proposed
lighting is consistent with the use and the surrounding area. The Applicant has submitted a
photometric plan that identifies type of light fixture, design, and pole heights. As shown on the
photometric plan there are two areas along the north and west property line around the Aldi
building where lumen levels exceed 0.4 foot candles as measured at the property lines. The subject
parcel is not adjacent to a residential property. As a condition of approval, all lighting shall be
downward directed shoebox style with flush lenses. Details about the proposed lighting are found
in Attachment H.
D. Screening and Fencing –Meets Requirements
Screens and fencing help minimize adverse impacts of public nuisances, such as noise. The
proposed trash enclosure is located on the north side of the Aldi building, and is proposed to be
constructed on three sides using brick with cedar boards for the gates to match materials used on
the building. The plans do not identify any rooftop mechanical equipment. Staff recommends
including a requirement screening of any rooftop equipment be constructed and located so as to
completely screen them from view of adjacent streets as a condition of approval.
E. Landscaping –Seeks Flexibility
Section 1320.06 – District Requirements Chart of the City Code requires a minimum landscape
lot area of 25 percent in the B-3 District. The Applicant is proposing a landscape lot area of 15
percent. In their narrative, the Applicant states the project will provide significant landscaped
green space along Lexington Avenue at grade level. They’ve noted that there is currently virtually
no green space on the property and the proposed development is nearly ¼ acre more landscaping
than the existing site. The Applicant is also proposing the addition of 27 trees throughout the site.
The City Code requires a minimum of one tree be provided along the right-of-way of every 50 feet
of public street frontage. The proposed development would be required to plant 14 trees along the
Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road right-of-way’s. The Applicant is proposing to plant four
trees due to utility easements and associated conflicts. A landscape plan is included as Attachment
G.
Section 1325.04, Subdivision 2, requires landscaping on lots used for drive-up windows to the
minimum widths:
Front Lot Line 20’
Side Lot Line 10’
Rear Lot Line 15’
The Applicant is requesting flexibility to these requirements. The drive-thru lane on the north side
of the property will be located approximately 8’ from the north property line and 5’ from the east
property line.
F. Snow Storage
Adequate area should be designed for snow storage such that clear visibility shall be afforded from
the property to any public street. The Applicant is proposing to store snow in the northwest corner
of the proposed site and has indicated that in scenarios of excessive snowfall that snow will be
hauled away from the site. During the concept plan discussion, adequate snow storage and/or
removal of snow was a concern with the proposed development. The Applicant had indicated that
the upkeep of landscaping, parking lot maintenance, and snow removal would be shared services
between the two properties.
G. Parking Setbacks – Flexibility Requested
The City Code requires off-street parking spaces to be located a minimum of 20 feet from the right-
of-way of any public street. Flexibility has been requested for the parking spaces on the south side
of the development along Grey Fox Road. The Applicant is proposing a 5 foot setback from the
ROW.
H. Number of Parking Stalls – Meets Requirements
Per City Code 1325.06, there are general categories that determine the number of parking spaces
that would need to be provided. The following provisions would apply based on the proposed uses:
x Retail Sales - one (1) parking space for each 150 sq. ft. of gross floor area.
x Business & Professional Offices - one (1) parking space for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor
area.
x Clinics – one (1) for each doctor or dentist plus one (1) for each nurse, technician, or
professional and one (1) for each 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area.
x Other Business and Industry – one (1) space for each 1,000 square feet of floor area.
The proposed plan would consist of a one-story 19,480 square foot grocery store, and a multi-
tenant building with a 2,500 square foot bank and 2,800 square foot dental clinic. The Applicant
is proposing 143 parking spaces total for the development. The following table breaks down the
off-street parking requirements based on the proposed uses. Based on the site information
provided, the development would be required to establish 120 parking spaces. Access to the
parking lot will be provided via a two-way entrance off Grey Fox Road.

The Applicant has shown a smaller building square footage for the grocery store to be reflective
of retail area only on the Site Data Plan Sheet C-010. Included in the submission was an
Operations Plan which shows a variety of uses within the grocery store (i.e. retail, office, and
storage). Each use is subject to minimum parking requirements in the Zoning Code and is reflected
in the table above.
*The Applicant has noted in their site data that two (2) off-street parking spaces are being allocated
in their parking counts towards staffing requirements for the dental clinic. That minimum number
may need to be increased based on actual tenant staffing.
I. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation – Flexibility Requested
Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, P states new building construction shall include construction of a
minimum of six (6) foot concrete sidewalk adjacent to or in all right-of-way. There are currently
no sidewalks along Lexington Avenue or Grey Fox Road. The applicant is proposing a five (5)
foot concrete sidewalk along Grey Fox Road. The applicant is not proposing a sidewalk along
Lexington Avenue but notes that one is planned as part of the future Lexington Avenue Public
Improvement Project.
The Applicant is proposing a bicycle rack on the east side of the Aldi building. The proposed bike
rack conforms to zoning requirements in Section 1325.05 Subd, 8, Q.
J. Freestanding Signs – Flexibility Requested
Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed one freestanding sign measuring up to 100 square feet in
area and not exceeding 16 feet in height. The Applicant is proposing a shared monument sign in
the SE corner of the site. On-premise signage is defined as “A sign whose message is related to
the property or the activity and use occurring on the property on which the sign is located. On-
premise signs include multi-tenant identification signs that may advertise tenants on different
property provided such tenants are within the same approved PUD and parking is shared between
properties.” The Applicant would like to utilize this requirement as part of the Master Planned
Unit Development approval. The proposed internally illuminated freestanding sign is 16 feet in
height and has a total sign copy area of 110 square feet allocated between the three tenants as
illustrated in Attachment F.
K. Wall Signs –Meets Requirements
Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed wall signs up to 80 square feet. The Applicant has shown
one 75 square foot wall sign on the south (facing Grey Fox Road) and east (facing Lexington
Avenue) of the building. Then the outparcel multi-tenant building will feature a wall sign for each
tenant of 33 square feet located above their main entrances of the building on the west elevation
(facing interior of site), a 14 square foot sign each on the east elevation (facing Lexington Avenue),
and then one 33 square foot sign on their respective spaces on the north/south elevation. All
signage is noted to be internally lit. The signage plans are shown in Attachment F.
L. Drive-Thru Facilities – Flexibility Requested
Section 1325.04 of the Zoning Code lists special requirements for drive-up facilities. One of these
requirements states no drive up facility shall be located within 1,320’ of another facility. The
nearest drive-up facility is the Arby’s, located directly north of the Subject Property. Section
1320.09 allows this requirement to be waived if the following conditions are met:
Sign materials
are noted to be
consistent with
building
materials and
will consist of
brick and metal
panels.
A. The operation consists of one or more drive-up windows and is an integral part of a building
containing one or more other allowed uses, or the operation is part of an architecturally
unified complex containing two or more businesses using drive-up windows.
B. Shared access drives and shared parking are utilized by all such businesses using drive-up
windows in said building or complex.
C. Only one building or architecturally unified complex containing two or more businesses
using drive-up windows will be allowed in addition to one freestanding business using a
drive-up window.
D. The architecture and the site, grading, circulation, landscaping, screening and signage plans
shall unify the appearance and function of the complex or building.
E. An architecturally unified complex may consist of one or more buildings on one or more
parcels if the intent of providing a unified appearance and function is not compromised.
F. The applicant shall submit a circulation plan that demonstrates that the use will not interfere
or reduce the safety of non-motorized movements, specifically pedestrian and bicyclists.
During the concept review, the Applicant was originally proposing a coffee shop/food and
beverage tenant for the northern endcap of the outparcel building. That triggered discussion on
possible traffic congestion, shared parking, and sufficient space for drive-thru stacking. The tenant
occupancy has changed as part of this review and the north unit will now be occupied by a bank.
The Applicant has stated that the change in tenant will eliminate the concerns previously
expressed. The proposal still includes a drive-up window for the bank on the north side of the
building. The Applicant is not proposing any electronic devices (i.e. loud speakers or menu board)
as part of this application. Customers accessing the bank drive-thru facility will go directly to the
teller/bank window for transactions. The applicant is requesting flexibility from this requirement
to allow the drive-thru component.
2. Traffic Study and Site Circulation
No new access is proposed as part of this review. The Applicant intends to utilize two of the
existing accesses and remove two. Access 1 is a two-way entrance that will be located on Grey
Fox Road in the same place as the existing. Access 2 is also existing and leads onto the alley on
the western boundary of the site. It is anticipated that vehicles will primarily use Access 1 to
access the site. The accesses located approx. 60 feet 400 feet west of Lexington Avenue and Grey
Fox Road will be removed. A traffic study has been prepared (see Attachment I for summary
section of report). The study reviewed existing operations within the area, evaluated traffic
impacts to the roadway network, and recommended improvements to the proposed development
site. It should be noted that this study was completed analyzing the trip generation between a
grocery store, bank, and fast food restaurant with drive-thru facility. With the tenant change, the
Applicant is not proposing to install the side street stop control at the site access due to the lessened
site intensity between the bank and dental clinic uses which they’ve noted should prevent
congestion in the parking areas.
During the concept review, the Applicant was asked to demonstrate how semitrailer traffic would
maneuver around the site for access to the loading dock on the north side of the proposed Aldi
building. The Applicant has provided as part of their submission plans illustrating vehicle
movements and pedestrian routes. Those documents are included in the site plan exhibits. These
plans are being reviewed by the Fire Marshal to ensure adequate spacing has been provided. The
City Engineer is also evaluating turning radius and may provide additional comment on site
functionality.
3. 1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications
A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be brought
before the City Council. The applicant or its representative shall be given the opportunity to appear
before the Planning Commission to answer questions or give explanations regarding the proposal.
Upon completion of the public hearing and its study and consideration of the application, the
Planning Commission shall submit its written report, containing its findings, conclusions, and
recommendations as to the application, to the City Council.

DraftARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 8, 2021 4
Acting Chair Wicklund summarized the comments that had been made by the Commission and
stated he found it interesting that the neighbors had to approve a request for chicken keeping. He
commented he would rather have residents follow the rules established by the City and not leave
this up to the neighbors. He feared the proposed system would increase tension in
neighborhoods.
Acting Chair Wicklund opened the public hearing at 6:53 p.m.
Acting Chair Wicklund invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make
comment.
There being no comment Acting Chair Wicklund closed the public hearing at 6:54 p.m.
Commissioner Jefferys agreed that the neighbor approval was an interesting concept.
Acting Chair Wicklund questioned if this language should be removed from the Ordinance.
Commissioner Jefferys supported the language remaining as is.
Commissioner Weber stated he supported neighbors having input on the keeping of chickens.
He explained he would not personally keep chickens, but would want to know if his neighbors
were keeping chickens and drawing predators onto their property.
Acting Chair Wicklund thanked staff for all of their work on this Planning Case.
Commissioner Zimmerman moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to
recommend approval of Planning Case 21-022 for a Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter

lot. This area includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue,
Highway 51, Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway. This area is used by a number of
small and large businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and
office uses. This area was largely developed between the 1950s and 1970s, though the retail area
along Lexington Avenue has had some new development and redevelopment in the last 15 years.
This area is marked as an area of possible redevelopment in 2040.

Senior Planner Jagoe 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
Acting Chair Wicklund opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Jefferys reported there were a lot of requests for flexibility from the applicant
and noted staff has recommended 25 conditions. She asked if the Commission would be
approving all of the deviations from the City’s requirements if a motion for approval were made.
Senior Planner Jagoe stated this would be the case with the conditions as drafted.
Commissioner Subramanian thanked staff for the detailed report on this Planning Case. He
discussed the location of the drive-thru and asked if the snow storage issue had been addressed.
Senior Planner Jagoe deferred this question to the applicant.
Dan Terwilliger, 2700 West 44th Street in Minneapolis, described where snow would be stored
on the site. He noted there would not be any issues for the cars exiting the drive-thru.
Commissioner Weber stated this was a complex request. He questioned if there were any façade
deficiencies for the elevations facing Lexington Avenue.
Senior Planner Jagoe explained the out parcel building facing Lexington Avenue and noted
flexibility had been requested.
DraftARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 8, 2021 8
Commissioner Weber commented on the Walgreens building and how it was oriented on the
site. He questioned if the City was paying for the new sidewalk in the County right of way along
Lexington Avenue.
Senior Planner Jagoe stated she did not know the answer to this question.
Acting Chair Wicklund requested further information on why businesses were orienting their
buildings to the parking lot versus the main street of Lexington Avenue.
Mr. Terwilliger reported tenants today want their storefront entrance as patrons walk in with
parking up front. He stated this creates an easily walkable development. He explained if the
front of the building were to face Lexington Avenue, patrons would have to walk around to
another side of the building in order to access the front doors.
Commissioner Weber stated this was reasonable, but noted the placement of the outlot building
was also a concern to him.
Commissioner Zimmerman discussed how it was sometimes difficult to place a building on a
site in order to meet all of the City’s design standards. For this reason, flexibility can be offered
in order to find middle ground where the City’s requirements and the developers standards mesh.
He appreciated how the developer had tried to make this development as close to the City’s
requirements as possible.
Commissioner Subramanian questioned when construction would begin for this project.
Mr. Terwilliger explained they would plan to begin demolition this fall with construction
beginning next spring.
Commissioner Jefferys stated she would like to have a better understanding why so many
deviations from the City’s requirements was being requested.
Ryan Anderson, ISG Civil Engineering, discussed the building placement in detail with the
Commission. He explained the City required a 50 foot setback along Lexington Avenue, with the
building required to be built at the 50 foot setback. He commented a 20 foot parking setback was
also in place. He described how these requirements led him to the proposed building placement
in order to create a destination for patrons.
Acting Chair Wicklund requested further information regarding the landscaping flexibility.
Senior Planner Jagoe reported the applicant was proposing to have 15% lot area coverage with
landscaping when 25% was required by the City. She noted 14 trees were required within the
development along the ROW and the applicant was proposing to plant four along the public
street frontages.
Mr. Anderson explained this was a tight site and was being retrofitted as it was now 100%
impervious. He believed that he was bettering the situation by reducing this number to 85%. He
understood he was short of meeting City Code, but noted 15% was in line with other
communities for commercial developments. He was of the opinion 25% was a great deal of
DraftARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 8, 2021 9
greenspace for a commercial property. He commented further on the parking and screening that
would be in place.
Acting Chair Wicklund requested further information from the applicant regarding the
flexibility that was requested for the free standing signs and pedestrian/bicycle circulation.
Mr. Anderson stated sidewalks would be provided on both frontages (Lexington Avenue and
Grey Fox Road). He noted the County was part of this project and would provide a new sidewalk
along Lexington Avenue. He then discussed the free standing signs that would be installed on
the property. He explained City Code allows 100 square feet of signs and he was requesting 110
square feet between the three tenants, which was how the architecture of the signs fell. Mr.
Anderson commented that they would review the site plan to adjust the sidewalk width along
Grey Fox Road and reduce the freestanding sign area to meet ordinance requirements.
Acting Chair Wicklund requested further comment on the flexibility that was requested for the
wall signs and drive-thru facilities.
Mr. Anderson commented with double frontages it was ideal to have visibility from both sides
of the building. For this reason, signs were requested for the building facades that faced
Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road. He believed this helped with driver safety as well. He
discussed the code requirements for drive-thrus in Arden Hills and noted the proposed drive-thru
was not further than 1,320 feet from another drive-thru, which then required flexibility. He
explained that the world was changing due to COVID and more businesses were in need of drive-
thrus.
Acting Chair Wicklund reported drive-thru flexibility has been offered by the City in the past
for Dunn Brothers, the Goodwill, Jimmy John’s and Caribou.
Commissioner Jefferys requested further information from the applicant regarding the building
material flexibility.
Mr. Anderson discussed the building materials that would be used for the Aldi building. He
noted the upper story windows would provide natural light and transparency into the building.
He reported the back of the building would be used for storage and coolers. He requested
flexibility and that windows not be required along this elevation. He explained the building had
been modified from the typical prototype to fit the site and the City’s requirements.
Chad Haller, 10K Architecture representative, commented on the building materials that would
be used on the out parcel building. He explained one elevation of the building would have store
rooms and visible glass would create a long-term challenge. He discussed how the building
materials were varied along this elevation to create interest. He indicated spandrel glass could be
considered to assist him with meeting the City’s requirements.
Councilmember Holmes commented on the spandrel glass that was used on the Goodwill. She
encouraged the developer to consider using spandrel glass for the elevation facing Lexington
Avenue.
DraftARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 8, 2021 10
Acting Chair Wicklund explained the Commission has voiced concern as to what the elevation
would look like along Lexington Avenue and encouraged the applicant to take this feedback into
consideration prior to this request being considered by the City Council.
Commissioner Jefferys requested further information regarding the off street parking setback
flexibility. She questioned if the City had other parking lots with this same setback variance.
Senior Planner Jagoe stated she did not have enough history with the City to know that
information.
Mr. Anderson reported this setback was requested to meet the City’s parking requirements.
Commissioner Subramanian indicated the City requires 120 parking spaces and the applicant
was proposing to have 143 total parking spaces. He questioned if the minimum landscape area
could be met given the fact the applicant would be overparking the site.
Mr. Anderson commented parking was a concern for the City Council and for this reason the
site was over parked. He indicated he would consider adding more landscaping if this was the
direction the City would like to move in.
Commissioner Subramanian stated he would like to see this pursued further with the
developer.
Commissioner Weber discussed the large amount of greenspace that would be provided along
Lexington Avenue. He indicated he was not concerned by the landscaping percentage.
Acting Chair Wicklund opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.
Acting Chair Wicklund invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make
comment.
There being no comment Acting Chair Wicklund closed the public hearing at 7:53 p.m.
Commissioner Zimmerman moved and Commissioner Subramanian seconded a motion to
recommend approval of Planning Case 21-019 for a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, Master
Planned Unit Development, and Site Plan based on the findings of fact and the submitted
plans, as amended by the conditions in the September 8, 2021, report to the Planning
Commission including conditions 24 and 25 as presented:
24. The Applicant shall provide a copy of the Stormwater Management Report and
verification of Rice Creek Watershed approval prior to the approval of
Development Agreement.
25. The Property Owner shall provide evidence of or obtain an ingress/egress
easement for use of the western access located on 3728 Dunlap Street.
Commissioner Jefferys asked if this would be a time to note the applicants were willing to
address several items and would be making changes.
DraftARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – September 8, 2021 11
Acting Chair Wicklund indicated this would be included in the notes that were passed along to
the City Council.
Councilmember Holmes stated she would appreciate the Commission summarizing the
comments from the applicant.
Acting Chair Wicklund explained the concerns would be included in the minutes.
Councilmember Holmes indicated she would like this information summarized within the
motion.
Commissioner Jefferys moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to amend the
original motion adding the following conditions: that the Applicant change the pedestrian
and bicycle circulation to go from a five foot sidewalk to a six foot sidewalk, the Applicant
should consider reconfiguring site layout for ratio of landscaping to number of parking
spaces, the Applicant is to review the outparcel Lexington Avenue elevation to meet
transparency requirements, and the free standing sign copy area should meet City Code as
agreed upon by the Applicant.
A roll call vote was taken. The amendment carried unanimously (5-0).
A roll call vote was taken. The amended motion carried unanimously (5-0).
C. Planning Case 21-021; 3300 New Brighton Road and 1893 Beckman Avenue –
Minor Subdivision – Public Hearing
This item was removed from the agenda.
D. Planning Case 21-020; 2 Pine Tree Drive – Bethel University – PUD Amendment –
Public Hearing
Senior Planner Jagoe stated in 2013, Bethel University acquired the Country Financial facility
at 2 Pine Tree Drive. The subject property is located within the B-2 General Business District,
where higher educational uses are permitted by Conditional Use Permit (CUP). At its November
25, 2013 meeting, the City Council approved a CUP for Bethel University to use the existing
facility as higher education. The campus is referenced as their “Anderson Center” location. The
approx. 227,000 square foot multi-tenant building is a mixture of higher education and
office/commercial uses.
Senior Planner Jagoe explained the property was subdivided in 2020 and split into three lots
and Outlot A to be used for utilities and access drive within the plat. Bethel University retained
their parcel with existing development and Outlot A. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) was
approved in January 2021 for New Perspective Senior Living to be developed on Lot 1. Lot 2
was sold to the Lake Johanna Fire Department and is currently undeveloped. Bethel University
has an existing multitenant freestanding sign that is located along Pine Tree Drive on Lot 2. They
are planning to move the multi-tenant freestanding sign to Outlot A which is owned by Bethel
University. With this relocation, the Applicant is planning upgrades to the freestanding sign
design and size.

1. AGENDA ITEMS
A. Concept Plan Review at 3737 Lexington Avenue – Launch Properties
Planning Consultant Kansier stated Launch Properties, in association with Aldi, (“Applicant”)
has submitted an application for Concept Plan Review, proposing to redevelop a 2.5-acre site
located at 3737 Lexington Avenue N. The site is currently developed with a vacant industrial
building and associated parking lot. The applicant is proposing to raze the building and redevelop
the site with a new +/- 19,480 square foot ALDI grocery store and an additional pad site with an
+/- 5,300 square foot building purposed for a quick serve restaurant (~ 3,500 square feet) and
bank (~1,800 square feet). The property is currently zoned B-3 (Service Business District), which
permits retail sales and service uses.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported the Subject Property is guided as Commercial (COM) in
the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Chapter. The area is designated for a broad
range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible
uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. A development intensity of up to 0.8
FAR may be allowed. According to the Comprehensive Plan the total area of the COM is 26
acres.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 2
Planning Consultant Kansier explained the proposed lot is within the Red Fox/Grey
Fox/Lexington Avenue Business Area which is discussed in the Land Use Chapter. This area
includes Red Fox and Grey Fox roads and is bounded by Lexington Avenue, Highway 51,
Interstate 694, and the Canadian Pacific railway. This area is used by a number of small and large
businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and office uses. This
area was largely developed between the 1950’s and 1970’s, though the retail area along Lexington
Avenue has had some new development and redevelopment in the last 15 years. This area is
marked as an area of possible redevelopment.
Planning Consultant Kansier commented the Property is currently owned by STORE Capitol.
The site is currently developed as a vacant industrial building with an associated parking lot. The
Applicant is proposing to develop the parcel as a new +/- 19,480 square foot ALDI grocery store
and an additional pad site with an +/- 5,300 square foot building purposed for a quick serve
restaurant (~ 3,500 square feet) and bank (~1,800 square feet). The proposed development is
planned for construction 2021-2022. The Aldi building is proposed to be located in the northwest
corner of the site, with the supporting restaurant and bank in the northeast corner. The Subject
Property includes one access point off of Grey Fox Road. Staff commented further on the
proposal and requested comment from the Council.
Dan Terwilliger, Director of Development at Launch Properties, introduced himself and his team
to the Council. He stated a year ago he began working with staff on this project. He reported
Launch Properties completes retail projects all over the metro area. He discussed how exciting this
project was as it would redevelop an industrial property that was located in a retail pocket.
Ryan Anderson, ISG, explained he was an architect speaking on behalf of Aldi. He indicated
Aldi was a 20,000 square foot grocer that has been adding stores in the metro area. He noted Aldi
builds steel buildings with full brick that would meet City Code. He estimated Aldi would need 95
parking stalls. He understood this was a tight site, but Aldi was comfortable with the proposed
concept plan. He reported Aldi would receive one, maybe two truck deliveries per day. He
commented further on the landscaping plan and how the plantings would improve the property.
Councilmember Scott stated he was confused to which side of the lot was the front lot line.
Councilmember Holden agreed this was confusing.
Planning Consultant Kansier stated she would have to investigate this further.
Mayor Grant questioned why the applicant was only proposing to cover 14% of the lot with
landscaping when 25% was the City’s requirement.
Mr. Anderson reported the existing site was currently 5% landscaped. He discussed how he had
maximized the site in order to meet the needs of Aldi, the required parking and had improved the
green space. He reiterated that this was a tight space.
Mayor Grant asked if Mr. Anderson had more information to present to the Council.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 3
Mr. Anderson reported he reviewed the site plan in further detail and commented on the
encroachment on the east side of the property. He stated he wants to work with the City to
enhance this corner of the property. He indicated he has been talking with Bank of America and a
national coffee/bakery group about collocating on this site. He commented further on the project
and requested feedback from the Council on how to proceed.
Councilmember Holden stated this was a tight site. She requested further information regarding
the drive through.
Mr. Anderson explained the bank was not requesting a drive through. He noted the drive through
would only serve the national coffee/bakery group on the northern half of the building. He
estimated the drive through would have stacking for 10 cars.
Mayor Grant reported Bank of America was a national bank chain that had four other sites in the
metro area. He discussed how the developer had maximized the amount of development on the
site, which was reflected in the reduced level of parking. He indicated he would have some
difficulty getting over this. He stated City Code required 196 stalls for this site and the developer
was proposing 138.
Councilmember Holden questioned how snow removal would be managed on this property.
Mr. Anderson stated no retail operation, especially national vendors, would move forward with a
project if they were not comfortable with the level of parking. He reported Aldi does not open
until 9:00 a.m. He was of the opinion the coffee shop would have an AM peak while Aldi would
have a PM peak, noting these uses complimented each other nicely. He discussed how snow
could be removed, trucked off and hauled away during the winter months.
Councilmember Holmes commented on how grocery stores were limiting their level of parking
to maximize the money made per square foot. She noted there was a concern in the metro area
with the reduced level of parking at grocery stores in the metro area. She explained that the coffee
shop would not just have an AM peak. She indicated Arden Hills was full of college students that
would take advantage of this and use all hours of the day. She feared that this site was too full and
did not adequately provide enough parking stalls or space for snow storage. She understood this
building had two frontages and questioned if there would be a sidewalk on Lexington Avenue and
Grey Fox Road.
Mr. Anderson reported there would be sidewalks along both frontages.
Councilmember Scott asked what Aldi required for parking.
Mr. Anderson explained Aldi generally requires 95 parking stalls. He indicated he had parking
studies from around the metro with peak time information and noted 95 stalls has been adequate.
Councilmember Scott inquired if the other two clients were comfortable with the proposed level
of parking.
Mr. Anderson stated to date the other two clients were comfortable with the proposed parking.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 4
Councilmember Scott commented he was most concerned with the reduced level of parking on
the site, but he also understood parking requirements have changed in the last 10 years. He
indicated he would be willing to change some of the landscaping requirements in the interior
parking lot if more interior stalls were added to the parking lot.
Councilmember Holden stated she was not comfortable with the proposed parking. She reported
she did not want parking to spill over onto adjacent uses. She feared how the parking lot would
be backed up with cars waiting to get through the coffee shop drive through. In addition, she was
concerned about the lack of landscaping. She explained the B-2 requirements were put in place to
ensure these commercial and retail developments had a similar look and feel. Lastly, she noted
this building would need more windows in order to meet the City’s requirements.
Councilmember Scott commented on the setbacks for the site and asked if staff had determined
where the front lot line would be.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported after investigating this further it appears the front lot line
would be along Lexington Avenue.
Brian Wurdeman, Civil Engineer for Kimley-Horn, noted the building had a 50 foot building
setback from Lexington Avenue and Grey Fox Road. He explained the western and northern sides
had a 20 foot setback. He explained the applicant was seeking flexibility along Lexington Avenue
and the western property boundary.
Further discussion ensued regarding the proposed setbacks for the building.
Mayor Grant asked if the front yard setback, along Lexington Avenue was greater than 50 feet.
Mr. Wurdeman stated he was looking for flexibility of 30 feet along Lexington Avenue.
Mayor Grant questioned what the setback was from Grey Fox Road.
Mr. Wurdeman indicated the building was in compliance with the 50 foot setback along Grey
Fox Road.
Mayor Grant inquired why this Bank of America required less parking.
Mr. Anderson explained this was not a full bank but rather was a smaller prototype.
Mayor Grant stated this was an appealing market for coffee/bakery uses given the fact Arden
Hills had two universities close by and students frequented them for studying. He indicated this
created concerns for him regarding the proposed level of parking on this site.
Councilmember Holmes explained she was familiar with the Aldi’s in Mounds View and
Roseville, both of which had a great deal of parking. She anticipated it was very rare that a retail
operation would haul away their snow. She believed it was unrealistic that the Aldi in Arden Hills
would haul away its snow. She requested further information regarding the snow removal plan.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 5
Mr. Anderson estimated the Aldi store in Roseville had 90 to 95 parking stalls. He understood it
was not standard operations to haul snow away, but in order to make a project work, this would be
taken into consideration.
Councilmember Holmes expressed frustration with how the developer was changing their
answer. She asked if the snow would be stored on site and then removed, or would this simply be
considered.
Mr. Anderson apologized if he misspoke. He reported he can’t speak to Aldi’s finances but
understood they would prefer to not have to remove snow from the site, unless this was required
in a site maintenance document.
Councilmember Holmes explained the City was not going to tell the developer what to do with
their snow. She stated simply that most commercial properties have space on their site for snow
storage and do not opt to have the snow hauled away due to the expense. She was of the opinion
the developer had not thought this issue through.
Councilmember Scott believed that the applicant would not bring forward an application without
planning for snow storage. He indicated his only concern with this site plan was the reduced level
of parking.
Mayor Grant commented there seems to be a delineation between the coffee shop/bank and the
grocery store. He asked if this was a property line.
Mr. Wurdeman reported this was the case, but noted Launch Properties would be maintaining
ownership of the properties. He anticipated the two properties would work together to have snow
removed from the site.
Councilmember Holden discussed how many people would be visiting the bank and coffee shop
use. She was of the opinion the site was under parked and she would not be able to support the
plan as proposed.
Andrew Mack, Aldi representative, explained the Roseville store has 80 stalls. He anticipated
the Arden Hills store would have the same volume in sales as the Roseville store.
Councilmember Holmes reported this may be the case, but noted the Roseville store does not
also have a bank and coffee shop attached to it. She stated she too was having a problem
supporting this concept plan due to the lack of parking.
Mayor Grant discussed the trash enclosure area on the site plan and questioned if this would
serve all three uses.
Mr. Anderson reported Aldi would have a separate trash enclosure near the loading dock area.
Mayor Grant questioned how delivery trucks would access the loading dock area.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – APRIL 26, 2021 6
Mr. Wurdeman described how trucks would enter and exit the site in order to reach the loading
dock.
Mayor Grant asked if the Fire Marshall had reviewed the plans.
Mr. Wurdeman reported the Fire Marshall had not yet reviewed the plans.
Mayor Grant commented on the tight turning radiuses that were being proposed and stated it
would be important for the Fire Marshall to provide comments on the proposed plan. He
explained at this time he was feeling uneasy about supporting this plan. He requested further
information regarding the loud speakers that would be used at the coffee shop.
Planning Consultant Kansier reported further information would be known about the loud
speaker when the preliminary plans were submitted to staff.
Councilmember Holden suggested the bank and the coffee shop be eliminated from the project
as this would free up more space for landscaping and parking. He encouraged the developer to
reconsider the plans so the Council could support the project.
Mayor Grant asked if the applicant had any questions for the Council.
Mr. Wurdeman thanked the Council for their time and stated he would work to address the
parking, snow removal and landscaping concerns that had been brought up by the Council.
2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES
Councilmember Holmes requested the Mounds View School District be invited to a future work
session in order to discuss the pedestrian crossing at the Mounds View High School.
Councilmember Holden asked when the Council would receive an update on water meters.
Councilmember Holden discussed the water bill envelopes and questioned when the City would
be done using them.
City Administrator Perrault explained staff had no intention of going away from that type of
envelope.
Councilmember Holden stated she would like the Council to discuss the CDBG funds for Arden
Manor, along with the additional CARES funds at a future work session.
City Administrator Perrault discussed when the City would receive the additional funding from
the federal government noting these funds should funnel down from the County in May.

RE: Planning Case 21-007 | 3737 Lexington Avenue N | Launch Prop. & Aldi
Dear Arden Hills City Council and Planning division:
I’m writing to express a concern I have regarding the Aldi redevelopment project. My main concern is
regarding traffic flow, coming out of the west side of the proposed development.
The “alley” that runs north/south that is directly east of our space (1157 Grey Fox) and directly west of
the proposed Aldi is becoming increasingly busy. Being on this alley and observing it daily, I believe that
increased traffic flow is from the new Lexington station development. As a way to move from that
development (Lexington Station) south, while skipping some stoplights out on Lexington, drivers
aggressively pass through this alley.
Here are a few safety concerns that I believe need to be thoughtfully considered based on the behaviors
of drivers we observe each day:
1. While I DO NOT represent any concerns from other business owners, both the gyms (the CrossFit gym
and Acceleration North) often warm up for their respective activities outdoors (laps around the
buildings, stretching, etc.) and the increased traffic and lack of visibility in the alley pass through could
present a safety
issue. Both of these businesses are in the same warehouse park as our business.
2. Visibility in that alley is not the best, based on the way the buildings are orientated and the foliage. I
don’t believe that the alleyway was intended for the kind of traffic it’s seeing.
3. During winter months, the snow removal piles are placed on the very east side of the alley creating
large obstacles that pass through cars must avoid by making large swerves westward.
4. In busy times at Aldi, I fear grocery shoppers will spill over into our lot at MerryStockings, along with
their carts, and take our parking spaces.
Based on behaviors we are seeing my concern is that, if the exit from the Aldi development on the
southwest corner remains open to customers leaving directly west out of the parking lot, I believe cars
headed north, will turn right (north) and add to the congestion in that alley and increase the safety
issues that are currently happening. The alley itself is maintained by Transwestern, does Aldi have the
right to create an access to this alley without working with Transwestern? It would be safest if that
proposed access point would be sealed off and traffic then would be forced to Grey Fox Road.
Thank you for considering this issues and the impact it could have on making this developments safer for
citizens of Arden Hills.
Respectfully,
Jake Witham, President
