Commissioner Mitchell moved, seconded by Commissioner Wicklund, to approve the May
8, 2024, Planning Commission Regular Meeting as presented. The motion carried
unanimously (5-0).
PLANNING CASES
A. Planning Case 24-011; Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13, Section 1325.07,
Subd. 6.A. – Location of Buildings Housing Farm Animals – Public Hearing
Community Development Director Jagoe stated earlier this year, the Applicant contacted the
City to verify if the keeping of bees would be allowed on his property at 3759 New Brighton
Road (“Subject Property”). Staff conveyed that, at present, the City Code requires that “Any
building in which farm animals are kept shall be located a distance of two hundred (200) feet or
more from any lot line. Any open structure in which farm animals are kept shall be a distance of
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 2
four hundred (400) feet or more from any lot line, except for chicken coops in the R-1, R-2, and
R-3 Districts.” Farm animals are defined as “Animals traditionally kept or raised on a farm for
the purpose of providing food or products for sale or use, such as cattle, horses, goats, sheep,
swine, fowl, bees, and animals raised for fur.” In review of the Subject Property, city staff
determined that the property did not have the lot width required to meet the distance
requirements from any lot line for placement of the bee hive(s).
Community Development Director Jagoe explained based on that evaluation, the Applicant
submitted a land use application for a Zoning Code Amendment to add language to the Zoning
Code for residential zoning districts that would exempt the keeping of bees under Section
1325.07, Subd. 6.A – Location of Buildings Housing Farm Animals. The following is the zoning
code language proposed by the Applicant for consideration:
a. The number of hives on residential lots is not to exceed:
i. 1 acre or larger: 8
ii. 1 acre – ¾ Acre: 6
iii. ¾ Acre to ½ Acre: 4
iv. ½ acre or less: 2
b. The beehive(s) must not be located in the front of a property or a side yard that
abuts a street.
c. They may be no closer than twenty‐five (25) feet to an occupied building on
another lot and/or any public trail or walkway.
d. The hives shall be located at least ten (10) feet from a property line.
e. Any property owner who keeps bees shall provide and maintain a nearby,
designated water source.
Community Development Director Jagoe provided an overview of the ordinance amendments
and provided the Findings of Fact for review:
1. Joe Kimbell, the Applicant, is proposing amendments to the language of Chapter 13 –
Zoning Code of the City Code.
2. Under the City’s Zoning Code Section 1325.07, Subd. 6.A, the City does allow Buildings
Housing Farm Animals as a permitted accessory use in the R-1, R-2, and R-3 Residential
Zoning Districts subject to distance requirements from any lot line.
3. The Applicant is proposing an amendment to allow for an exception for the location of
bee hive(s) that would reduce the distance from the property line in the R-1, R-2, and R-3
Residential Zoning Districts.
4. The Applicant is proposing additional criteria in the ordinance language that would be
used to regulate the keeping of bee hive(s) such as a maximum number of bee hives that
would be allowed based on the residential lot size, minimum distance the hive may be
located to a dwelling or trail, a water source must be provided, and that the bee hive(s)
may not be located in the front or side yard of a residential lot.
5. Of local communities surveyed, a majority allow for the keeping of bees as a permitted
accessory use in residential districts without a City license.
6. Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations require a public hearing prior to action by
the City Council
Community Development Director Jagoe reviewed the options available to the Planning
Commission for Planning Case 24-011 for a Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13, Section
1325.07, Subd. 6.A of the Arden Hills City Code to allow an exception for the Location for
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 3
Buildings Housing Farm Animals to include bee hives in the R-1, R-2, and R-3 Residential
Zoning Districts, based on the findings of fact and the submitted materials:
1. Recommend Approval as Submitted
2. Recommend Approval with Amendments
3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Vice Chair Collins opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Mitchell stated she had done some reading and asked if a row of hedges could be
used to create a barrier, in lieu of a fence or wall.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported the language was pulled from another
ordinance and explained if the Commission supported landscaping being used as a barrier, the
language could be amended.
Commissioner Blilie asked if the other communities that allow beekeeping reported any
problems or concerns.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained she had not reached out to other staff
members and reviewed these ordinances online, but she was not aware of any concerns in other
communities.
Commissioner Blilie inquired about the written comment received on the competition between
wild bees and honey bees and asked if the University of Minnesota had any recommendations
regarding the keeping of bees.
Community Development Director Jagoe indicated she would have to reach out to them to
pursue their recommendations on wild bees versus honey bees.
Commissioner Wicklund questioned if other Arden Hills ordinances required adjacent property
owners to be notified.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated the keeping of chickens required adjacent
property owners to be notified. She explained this was a one-time notification process.
Vice Chair Collins asked if a licensure or permit was required for the keeping of other animals.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported the City required a license for keeping
chickens, dogs, and cats.
Vice Chair Collins inquired if any properties in the City could meet the 200 foot setback
requirement for farm animals.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated this would be limited, but there were a few
properties in the City that may meet this separation requirement.
Vice Chair Collins questioned how many residents were keeping bees in neighboring
communities.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 4
Community Development Director Jagoe stated she could reach out to these communities and
could report back to the Commission.
Joe Kimbell, 3759 New Brighton Road, explained he was new to Arden Hills. He reported his
son, Elias, received a scholarship through the University of Minnesota where he participated in
the keeping of bees. He noted their hive was currently being kept at a farm in Mahtomedi. He
stated a small amount of space is needed to keep bees. He discussed the benefits of keeping bees
and encouraged the Planning Commission to support his request.
Commissioner Wicklund indicated he was fully supportive of this request. He suggested
another item be added to the code to require adjacent neighbors to be informed of the bee
keeping.
Vice Chair Collins opened the public hearing at 6:48 p.m.
Vice Chair Collins invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make
comment.
Frank Cupery, 1397 Indian Oaks Court, reported he has worked for the City of Shoreview for
five years and for four of those years he managed the bee licenses. He estimated there were only
seven to ten licenses per year. He noted there were no complaints during his time with the City
of Shoreview.
Commissioner Bjorklund thanked Mr. Cupery for sharing his insights with the Commission.
There being no additional comment Vice Chair Collins closed the public hearing at 6:49 p.m.
Commissioner Mitchell stated she supported the proposed zoning code amendment to allow for
the keeping of bees.
Commissioner Blilie indicated she supported beekeeping as well. She stated she supported
adjacent properties owners to be notified.
Commissioner Bjorklund moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to
recommend approval of Planning Case 24-011 for a Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter
13, Section 1325.07, Subd. 6.A of the Arden Hills City Code to allow an exception for the
Location for Buildings Housing Farm Animals to include bee hives in the R-1, R-2, and R-3
Residential Zoning Districts, based on the findings of fact and the submitted materials,
with an Amendment to add Item 6: Prior to the installation of the bee hive(s), the property
owner shall provide written notice to the neighbors immediately adjacent of their intent to
keep bees. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
B. Planning Case 24-010; 1784 Gramsie Road - Variance – Public Hearing Not
Required
Senior Planner Fransen stated Nancy Hedin and Tracy Roeder have requested a variance to
construct an addition to the east elevation of an existing attached garage on the property located
at 1784 Gramsie Road. The variance would decrease the required side yard setback for corner
lots from the minimum requirement of 40 feet to 23.33 feet. 1784 Gramsie Road, the Subject
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 5
Property, is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. It is designated for Low Density
Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Subject Property is the site of a
single-family dwelling owned by the Applicant. All surrounding parcels are also zoned R-1,
Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses in the Land
Use Plan.
Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the site data, the Plan Evaluation and provided the Findings
of Fact for review:
General Findings:
1. City Staff received a land use application for a variance request to the required R-1
Zoning District side yard setback for corner lots at the Subject Property 1784 Gramsie
Road.
2. A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 3. The
proposed addition would have a decreased side yard setback for a corner lot of 23.33 feet.
Variance Findings:
1. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of the ordinance.
2. The proposed addition would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood
because the proposed design will look and feel consistent with the existing structure.
3. The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone
Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission for
Planning Case 24-010 for a Variance to construct an attached garage addition with a 23.33 side
yard setback on a corner lot at 1784 Gramsie Road:
1. Recommend Approval with Conditions
1. A Building Permit shall be issued prior to commencement of construction.
2. The proposed building addition shall conform to all other standards and
regulations in the City Code.
2. Recommend Approval as Submitted
3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Vice Chair Collins opened the floor to Commissioner comments. There were none.
Vice Chair Collins invited the applicant forward at this time.
Nancy Hedin, 1784 Gramsie Road, requested the Commission support her addition as her
property currently only had a one stall garage.
Tracy Roeder, 1784 Gramsie Road, stated she thoroughly enjoyed living in Arden Hills, but
indicated her home only had a single car garage. She explained she was now in a place to put on
an addition and she would appreciate the Commission’s support.
Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he supported the proposed request.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 6
Vice Chair Collins moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to recommend
approval of Planning Case 24-010 for a Variance to construct an attached garage addition
with a 23.33 side yard setback on a corner lot at 1784 Gramsie Road, based on the findings
of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the June 5, 2024, Report
to the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
C. Planning Case 24-012; 4061 Lexington Avenue North – Site Plan Review – Public
Hearing Not Required
Senior Planner Fransen stated the Applicant has submitted a land use application for a Site
Plan Review, seeking flexibility on the height, sign area, and quantity of signs allowed for the
Subject Property. The Subject Property has road frontage along County Road F West and
Lexington Avenue. The Primrose School of Arden Hills and Shoreview opened in October of
2019 and is part of a national system of accredited private preschools that provide child care and
early education. The Applicant is seeking flexibility to install signage on an existing freestanding
structure along Lexington Avenue. The existing freestanding structure does not conform with
sign standards and requirements for freestanding signs in Sign District 6 due to height, sign area
(i.e. sign cabinet), and sign quantity. The City is asked to consider the request for a sign standard
adjustment through the Site Plan Review process.
Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the background, site data, Plan Evaluation and provided the
Findings of Fact for review:
1. The Subject Property is located in the I-1 Zoning District and is guided as Light
Industrial and Office in the Land Use Plan.
2. The Applicant has submitted an application for Site Plan Review to install signage on an
existing freestanding structure for the Subject Property.
3. Sign Standard Adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, number,
type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter may be
approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process as described
for in Section 1320 and 1355 of the Zoning Code.
4. Flexibility through the Site Plan Review process has been requested for the height, sign
area, and sign face quantity for a freestanding sign on the Subject Property.
5. The proposed signage plan does not conflict with the general purpose and intent of the I-1
Zoning District or the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City.
6. The application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the
community as a whole.
7. The proposed plan will not produce any permanent noise, odors, vibration, smoke, dust,
air pollution, heat, liquid, or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics.
8. A public hearing is not required for Site Plan Review.
Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission for
Planning Case 24-012 for a Site Plan Review at 4061 Lexington Avenue N.:
1. Recommend Approval with Conditions
1) The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted. Any
significant changes to these plans, as determined by the Community Development
Director, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City
Council.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 7
2) A sign permit shall be required for all proposed signage.
3) All signage shall meet all other requirements of Sign District 6.
2. Recommend Approval as Submitted
3. Recommend Denial
4. Table
Vice Chair Collins opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Wicklund asked if the landscaping that was included for the sign across the
street was an element that could be added to this variance request, because these were larger than
normal signs.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported the Applicant could be asked to come back
with landscaping if this was requested from the Commission. She indicated her only concern
with this requirement, was the fact the sign was approximately five feet from the property line
and making sure that landscaping did not extend into the right-of-way.
Commissioner Bjorklund explained he visited the site and he also noticed the sign to the north.
He explained the proposed sign was significantly closer to Lexington Avenue than the sign to the
north.
Commissioner Mitchell discussed how the pandemic had impacted a lot of things. She indicated
she was struggling to do business with businesses that have been struggling to do business. She
understood staffing was getting better, but she had sympathy for those businesses that were still
working their way back. She was pleased to learn the Applicant had found someone to help them
with this project.
Vice Chair Collins asked if the Bremer Bank sign formally conformed with the existing sign
standards.
Senior Planner Fransen reported Bremer Bank had gone through a redevelopment process for
the Primrose School in 2018 and the sign was reviewed at that time. She stated the sign was
found to be non-conforming and there was a request to continue using the sign.
Vice Chair Collins requested further information regarding sign area and copy area.
Senior Planner Fransen discussed the differences between sign copy area and sign area, noting
sign copy area does not include any blank space.
Vice Chair Collins asked if the proposed sign would conform with the City’s sign standards.
Senior Planner Fransen reported the proposed sign copy area would conform. She indicated the
overall sign area of the cabinet does not conform with the sign standards.
Vice Chair Collins invited the Applicant forward at this time.
Saleem Grimaliani, Primrose School representative, provided background information on
Primrose School and explained the school came into Arden Hills in 2018. He discussed how the
existing building was restructured. It was his understanding the sign would also be restructured
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 8
and later learned the sign was non-conforming. He commented on how things got put on hold
due to COVID. He requested the City consider sign flexibility, due to the fact the sign was not
completed within the first year due to extenuating circumstances.
Commissioner Bjorklund requested further information on the Primrose School.
Mr. Grimaliani explained Primrose School was an early childhood (daycare) program that
caters to children from six weeks of age to six years. He noted this was a private for-profit
Montessori type school. He indicated there were 550 Primrose Schools nationwide and 21
locations in the Twin Cities.
Commissioner Blilie stated she was in favor of this proposal but did not support extra
landscaping requirements as a required condition.
Commissioner Mitchell agreed.
Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he had a number of concerns. He stated the structure has
been unused for four and a half years. He explained the total sign copy allowed was 45 feet and
the Applicant was requesting 87 feet. He reported the maximum height allowed was 12 feet and
this sign would be 27.7 feet high. He commented this sign was very tall and the overhang was
unclear. It was his understanding this sign was very close to the property line. He reported non-
conforming signs were not to be enlarged or expanded. He stated this was clearly a non-
conforming sign. In addition, non-conforming signs were to be discontinued after a year of non-
use. He did not support the City violating these portions of the sign ordinance. He reported he
did not like this sign because it was too big and too close to the property line. He supported this
property moving forward with a ground mounted monument sign in conformance with the sign
code.
Commissioner Wicklund stated he appreciated how the applicant was working to maximize an
existing asset. He understood Sign Art was a great company to work with. He shared an image of
the sign that was across the street to the north, noting he would like the Commission to consider
an additional condition to read: Applicant shall work with City staff and provide appropriate and
feasible landscaping around the existing sign. He stated he was in favor of the request before the
Commission with the additional condition.
Commissioner Blilie indicated she supported the Applicant being allowed to use the existing
sign versus requiring them to tear it down. She indicated she accepted the additional condition
regarding the landscaping.
Commissioner Mitchell reported she also supported the existing sign being used, versus wasting
money on tearing it down. She believed the proposed sign was a reasonable alternative given the
situation and makes the best use of the property. In addition, she supported the sign having
landscaping around it.
Vice Chair Collins explained he was in favor of keeping the sign as well. He questioned how
the City was to determine what was “appropriate landscaping”.
Commissioner Wicklund stated he would be amenable to other language for his condition that
would better reflect or provide clarity to staff. He was of the opinion staff could determine what
type of landscaping would be appropriate at the base of the sign.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 9
Community Development Director Jagoe suggested if this was an item from the Planning
Commission that the Applicant be strongly encouraged to have landscaping included in their
plan prior to this item being reviewed by the City Council.
Mr. Grimaliani indicated he supported the proposed landscaping request and could amend his
plans prior to this item being reviewed by the City Council. He stated similar action was taken in
Savage where annuals and perennials were added to the base of the sign to soften its appearance.
Commissioner Wicklund thanked the Applicant for being willing to amend his plans.
Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Blilie seconded a motion to recommend
approval of Planning Case 24-012 for Site Plan Review at 4061 Lexington Avenue North,
based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the
June 5, 2024, Report to the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Bjorklund spoke against the motion noting this sign was non-conforming and
should not be allowed to continue per the City’s sign ordinance.
The motion carried 4-1 (Commissioner Bjorklund opposed).
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Sign Code Discussion
Senior Planner Fransen stated at their April 17, 2023 meeting, the City Council reviewed a list
of staff-identified code amendments for further discussion. Signage was added to this list as a
task for the Economic Development Commission. Direction was given to review the current sign
code to ensure the standards are consistent with current technology and community needs. At the
August 23, 2023 Economic Development Commission meeting, staff presented an introduction
to the sign code, with a focus on non-residential, permanent commercial message signage,
covering the current format and content of the code with sign standards by sign district and sign
type. At subsequent meetings, the EDC reviewed standards for different sign types with an
awareness of recent requests for sign standard flexibility through planned unit developments and
sign standard adjustments. The group considered wall signage, freestanding signage, and
dynamic display signs. The review also included a comparison of the sign codes for the Cities of
Shoreview and New Brighton.
Senior Planner Fransen provided the Planning Commission with a summary of the EDC’s
comments and invited the Planning Commission to review the comment summary provided and
ask questions and offer feedback to the EDC based on the provided information. Commissioners
may also make additional comments to be considered prior to the summary document going
before the City Council.
Commissioner Mitchell stated she was delighted to see the City was addressing the sign code.
She recommended considering the speed limits set around the City and the science behind sign
size and lettering be considered within the sign code. She understood that signs are useful, and
well done signs are more useful. She supported the City having appropriately sized signs for
safety purposes.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 10
Commissioner Blilie agreed with the recommendations from Commissioner Mitchell. She liked
the idea of scaling signs to the size of a building’s frontage. She anticipated the City has erred to
the side of caution too much.
Commissioner Wicklund asked if there was a way to add a paragraph into the sign code that
would require non-conforming signs to be brought up to new standards if requesting a change.
Community Development Director Jagoe explained State Statute language was pretty clear
when addressing non-conforming provisions. She reported staff was following these provisions.
She stated the City would not be able to write something that says it’s conforming, rather the
sign would remain non-conforming.
Commissioner Wicklund questioned if the language within code would move towards adopting
the greatest possible sign size or does the proposed language shrink the signs.
Senior Planner Fransen stated previous flexibilities that were granted by the City were taken
into consideration within the proposed sign code language. She noted this language could be
further reviewed if direction was given from the Council.
Commissioner Wicklund believed it appeared the broad recommendations would simplify the
sign code.
Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he supported the percentage of building elevation concept
for wall signage. However, he wanted to see examples of what these percentages would look
like. He requested further information on the EDC.
EDC Commissioner Julie Gronquist introduced herself to the EDC stating members have to be
a resident of Arden Hills, or a business representative in the community. She explained the EDC
did not meet during COVID and began meeting again in August of 2023. She reported she owns
a business in Arden Hills and has lived in the community for the past 24 years.
EDC Commissioner Ted Brausen reported he has been part of the community since 1969,
when his father opened a store. He explained he has been through many sign issues, some good
and some bad, which was how he ended up on the EDC. He indicated he has worked with many
staff members over the years and stated Community Development Director Jagoe and Senior
Planner Fransen were wonderful to work with.
EDC Commissioner Frank Cupery stated he was the Chair of the EDC. He reported he runs a
business out of his home in addition to working as a building inspector for the City of Shoreview
for the past five years. He explained he has helped with the sign code planning given his
experience as a building inspector.
Bob Sherlock, Sign Art, encouraged the Commission to review West St. Paul’s sign code as it
was recently updated. He was of the opinion the changes that were made were very well done.
Commissioner Bjorklund thanked Mr. Sherlock for this feedback. He understood signs can be
very informative, but he also believed signs could be gaudy and do not properly fit into the
natural environment. He did not want to see larger and larger signs in the community. He was
reluctant to allow huge increases in signage.
ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 5, 2024 11
Vice Chair Collins asked if the new code was adopted, has the City considered the fact current
signage would become non-conforming, or would all new signage be larger. He feared how the
new language would alienate existing business owners and their signage.
Senior Planner Fransen indicated the comment regarding equity, fairness, and not creating
barriers has been a concern for the EDC as well. She believed the percentage would assist with
setting the right spot for sign size in order to not create non-conformities, or keeping the number
of non-conforming signs as small as possible.
Vice Chair Collins discussed how building sizes and proportionality would be addressed for
businesses along Lexington Avenue.
Senior Planner Fransen commented the EDC discussed having minimums in place to ensure no
businesses were cast out. On the flip side, there could also be a maximum sign size that would be
allowed.
Commissioner Wicklund suggested the audio coming from dynamic display signs be
considered within the sign code revisions.
Vice Chair Collins thanked staff for all of their efforts on the sign code revisions.
REPORTS
A. Report from the City Council
Community Development Director Jagoe provided the Commission with an update from the
City Council. She reported HKGi was hired by the City to assist with the ordinance review
updates.
B. Planning Commission Comments and Requests
Commissioner Bjorklund commented on how he was looking to find more ways for the City to
have affordable housing. He discussed how accessory dwelling units would be one way to meet
this need. He supported the City allowing ADU’s in the R-1 zoning district.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated this could be considered through the
ordinance review work or to make a comment to the City Council at a Council meeting during
Public Inquiries.
ADJOURN
Vice Chair Collins moved, seconded by Commissioner Wicklund, to adjourn the June 5,
2024, Planning Commission Meeting at 8:41 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

PC AGENDA ITEM – 3A
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 10, 2024
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Case #24-009 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Lake Johanna Fire Department
Property Location: 3535 Pine Tree Drive
Request: Master Planned Unit Development, Final Planned Unit Development,
Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review
Requested Action
Lake Johanna Fire Department (“The Applicant”) is requesting a Master Planned Unit
Development, Final Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan Review
for a proposed project on 3535 Pine Tree Drive (“Subject Property”). The proposal consists of
construction of a 41,000 square foot Headquarters Fire Station facility that will house
administrative staff as well as a response crew and includes training facilities for the Department.
Background
1. Overview of Request
The Applicant has submitted a land use application for Master Planned Unit Development, Final
Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan Review, proposing to develop
a 3.7-acre site located at 3535 Pine Tree Drive. The Subject Property is currently owned by the
Applicant. The Applicant is proposing to build a two-story fire station Headquarters facility of
approximately 41,000 square feet with a training facility and training tower. The Lake Johanna
Fire Department provides public fire and medical emergency response services to the Cities of
Arden Hills, North Oaks, and Shoreview. The Applicant currently operates out of three stations,
the proposed project would replace Station 4 located at 3615 Victoria Street in Shoreview and
become the Headquarters for the Department. The Applicant is planning for construction of the
new Headquarters facility to begin in 2025.
The Headquarters Fire Station facility will consists of offices for five (5) full time staff members
that would maintain typical Monday through Friday 8 to 5 business hours. The fire station will
have a crew of three (3) Firefighters on duty 24/7 to respond to fire and emergency medical service
(EMS) calls.
2. History of the Subject Property
Page 2 of 15
In 2013, Bethel University purchased the property at 2 Pine Tree Drive to use the existing office
building for higher education. This location is known as the Anderson Center campus. In 2020,
Bethel University subdivided the approximate 43 acre site into three (3) parcels known as the 2
Pine Tree North plat. The Applicant purchased Lot 2 Block 1 of that plat in 2020. The other lot
as part of this plat is now the location of New Perspective Senior Living.
Aerial Map
During the platting process, the Applicant was conducting their due diligence on the potential for
acquiring the Subject Property. In 2018, the Applicant had completed a study that determined the
need for a new Fire Station to be built on a site that could support the communities and their
needs over "the next 50 years". It was determined that at a minimum the Department needed at
least three (3) acres. This study also noted the future Fire Station should include six (6) drive
through bays and living/sleeping quarters. The new Fire Station would then because of size and
equipment housed would transition to become the new Headquarters Station and include
necessary operational and training functions.
The Department is currently overseen by a Board of Directors, the Board (“Board”) consists of
City representatives (one (1) Arden Hills rep, one (1) North Oaks rep, and two (2) Shoreview
reps) and three (3) members from the Department. The Board is responsible for an array of
Page 3 of 15
duties, such as, reviewing policies, approving long range plans and approving operating and
capital budgets. In 2021, the Cities of Arden Hills, North Oaks, and Shoreview entered into a
Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for the purposes of acquiring and constructing improvements on
property that was to be identified for the new Headquarters. The Applicant purchased the Subject
Property in 2021 due to the location being ideal to improve access for emergency vehicles and
improve response times to the service area. As part of the land use application, the Applicant has
included a letter of support from the Board for advancement of this project to meet the service
needs of the public. It is agreed upon as part of the JPA that the Applicant will transfer
ownership of the Subject Property to the Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters JPA.
Approvals
1. Planned Unit Development
A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required for all new development and redevelopment in
the B-2 Zoning District. In addition, a PUD would allow for performance standard flexibility.
This proposal involves both the initial Master Plan PUD and the Final PUD.
Architectural Plan
2. Conditional Use Permit
In the B-2 Zoning District, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for Public Use. The Cities
of Arden Hills, North Oaks, and Shoreview contract with the Lake Johanna Fire Department to
provide emergency response services for Fire and EMS calls to the public. The City refers to the
Lake Johanna Fire Department in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan under Chapter 13, Public
Facilities, Services, and Infrastructure. A conditional use is allowed if the landowner meets the
general and specific standards set forth in the zoning ordinance. City Code Section 1355.04 Subd.
3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists the criteria for evaluating a Conditional Use Permit. The
Planning Commission and City Council should consider the effect of the proposed use upon the
health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding
land and the community, in general, including but not limited to the following factors:
1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions;
The Applicant has provided as part of their submission a site plan of adjacent roads to
identify fire response vehicle travel patterns will be north on Pine Tree Drive to the
nearby controlled intersections. The Applicant has stated that the only exception to this
northerly route will be to respond to emergencies in the Hunters Park Condos, Hunters
Park neighborhood, or Catholic United building. Their narrative states that traffic pre-
emption will control the nearby intersections for the emergency vehicle, making it safer
for the firefighters and the public.
Page 4 of 15
The Headquarters facility will consists of offices for five (5) full time staff members and
would maintain typical Monday through Friday 8 to 5 business hours. The fire station
will have a crew of three (3) Firefighters on duty 24/7 to respond to fire and EMS calls.
The use of the facility for the 24/7 staffing of station crew is not anticipated to generate
enough consistent traffic during peak or non-peak hours to require any traffic control
changes. A traffic study was not prepared as part of the application and may be waived
by the City Council as part of the PUD. The Applicant has stated that based on their
current call volume, they anticipate that this station would respond to around 2,000 calls
annually. The Consultant Engineer for the City has stated “it is not estimated that this
project will generate more than 100 peak hour trips and a traffic study is not required.”
2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and
other nuisance characteristics;
The narrative states that fire trucks leaving the station to respond to emergency calls will
turn on their flashing emergency lights which will capture the traffic signal at Pine Tree
and County Road E. After pulling forward out of the station, trucks will make a left turn
to the north on Pine Tree Drive. As they approach County Road E, they will activate their
sirens, and turn to the west or east as needed.
3. Drainage;
The proposed site plan does not negatively impact drainage on adjacent properties and
the Applicant has stormwater management onsite that is intended to meet the quantity
and quality standards. The Application is currently being reviewed by the Public Works
Director/City Engineer and will go through the Rice Creek Watershed approval process.
4. Population density;
The Subject Property is guided as Community Mixed Use (CMU) in the 2040 Future
Land Use Plan. The area is designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, services,
and office space to meet the needs of the community and surrounding areas. The expected
share of uses within this area are as follows: 10% to 50% Light Industrial; 10% to 70%
Retail; 10% to 70% Office; and 10% to 50% Residential. A development intensity of up to
0.8 FAR may be allowed. The Applicant is proposing a two-story 41,000 square foot
building that equals 0.25 FAR on the Subject Property.
5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land;
The proposed building materials will meet the B-2 preferred material requirement as
identified in the Design Standards. The Architect for the project notes that a cantilevered
canopy visually announces that this is the public entrance to the facility and the site
features a plaza and flag display at the entry for visual structures. The Applicant has
stated in their narrative that historically Fire Departments are very good neighbors and
that two of the other stations are adjacent to residential land uses, schools and day cares.
6. Adjoining land values;
The proposed development is not anticipated to negatively impact adjacent property
values.
7. Park dedications where applicable;
The Development Agreement for the 2 Pine Tree North plat indicated that Park
Dedication required for Lots 1 and 2 will be determined by the City at the time of future
development and will be memorialized in development agreements for those lots. The
Page 5 of 15
Applicant as part of this application is requesting the City waive the Public Use
Dedications including the Park Dedication Fee. As part of their submittal, the Board has
provided a letter of support for the Applicant’s request. The Applicant and Board have
received State of Minnesota funding for this project and applications have been made for
federal funding. Funding for this Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters Station
will primarily be through local tax dollars.
8. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and
intent of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City.
The Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters Fire Station proposed facility at 3535
Pine Tree Drive is consistent with the purpose and intent with the policies within the
City’s Comprehensive Plan, the B-2 Zoning District and Guiding Plan for the B-2
District.

2. Design Standards - Section 1325.05 and 1325.055
A. Building Design – Flexibility Requested
Page 6 of 15
Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, E of the Arden Hills City Code states “the arrangement, massing,
materials and colors shall work to create a high quality development that is responsive to
existing buildings, site features, and site design on adjoining sites in the district.” There are
seven (7) evaluators for building design with one of those stating that at least fifty percent (50%)
of the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line.” The other
evaluators to consider in review of the building design are that façade treatments shall be carried
around all sides, avoid long unbroken expanses and to create visual interest from the street,
awnings and overhangs shall be provided at the primary entryway, any multi-level building shall
distinguish the ground floor level from the upper floors. Architectural plans are included in
Attachment E.
The Applicant is proposing a two-story building of approximately 41,000 square feet for their
Headquarters facility. The front lot line is Pine Tree Drive and the front setback line is at 50 feet.
The Applicant’s site plan shows the building would be constructed at approximately 90 feet.
Site Plan
B. Exterior Materials – Meets Requirements
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. Metals shall have a matte finish and have
visible corner moldings and trim when used on exterior walls. 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. Building colors shall be muted. Recommended colors include browns, grays, tans,
beiges, and dark or muted green, blues, and reds. Bright or brilliant colors and sharply contrasting
colors may be used for only accent purposes occupying a maximum of five percent (5%) of
building façades.
The Planning Commission should evaluate the architectural style and building character based on
the quality of its design and on its relationship to its surroundings. Site characteristics to be
evaluated for this purpose include, but are not limited to, building and landscaping materials,
Page 7 of 15
colors, textures, shapes, massing, building components, height, roof-line, and setback. A full plan
set of building elevations is included as Attachment E.
Planning Staff has provided the review below on building materials and transparency as shared
by the Applicant in order for the Planning Commission to attain a better understanding of the full
scope of their project design. The proposed building complies with building materials consisting
of brick, glass, or metal trim on all elevations. The transparency requirements for new
developments within the B-2 Zoning District have been considered in the window placement and
design for the fire station facility. 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 following table
shows the breakdown of materials for the fire station:

The buildings design has façade stepping and a variation in rooflines as viewed from all
elevations. The Applicant has noted that they have incorporated many “Green Building”
sustainable design features in this project. As noted in the application materials, the Applicant
began the efforts for studying the Department needs and designing this project back in 2018.
This project is intended to meet their needs for “the next 50 years” and will provide for the
administrative, operational (i.e. Headquarters), apparatus bays, and training facility. This facility
will be used for classroom and hands-on training both inside the training room and outside.
There could be groups ranging from 10-40 firefighters in attendance a few times each week. The
four (4) story training tower on the west (rear) side of the building will use non-toxic fire props,
theatrical smoke machines and will also be used for ladder training and rope rescue training. The
fire station project with the proposed design has received State funding towards future
construction. As part of their design process in 2020/21, the Applicant shared schematic “artist’s
views” of their project plans and renderings with each City Council for feedback. This
information was used as part of their due diligence prior to preparation of their project bid
documents which have been finalized. The Applicant has submitted to the City for the land use
approval prior to applying for construction permits.

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. Any light or combination of lights shall not cast
light that exceeds a meter reading of one (1) foot candle on the travel lanes of adjoining public
streets or 0.4 foot candles on adjoining residential property.
The proposed plan includes LED fixtures for area lights at a maximum of 30 feet to the top of the
fixture, a monument sign and flag pole light, and then soffit lighting above the doorways/entry on
the building. The proposed lighting is consistent with the use and the surrounding area. The
Applicant has submitted a photometric plan that identifies the types of light fixtures and quantities.
The Subject Property is not adjacent to a residential property. The photometric plan shows that
proposed lighting will not exceed a meter reading of one (1) foot candle on the travel lanes on Pine
Tree Drive. 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 F.
D. Screening – Meets Requirements
Screens and fencing help minimize adverse impacts of public nuisances, such as noise. Trash and
recycling equipment, materials, and containers shall be fully enclosed and integrated into the
architecture of the buildings. All mechanical equipment, whether roof-mounted or ground-
mounted should be integrated into the architecture of the building. It shall be completely screened
from the ground-level view of adjacent properties and public streets.
There is a generator, electrical transformer, and trash enclosure located on the rear of the
building that are screened by the building to the public street. The trash enclosure will feature
metal trash enclosure gates and is constructed with brick consistent with the building design. The
Page 9 of 15
Applicant did not include roof plans or associated building sections to illustrate all roof-mounted
mechanical equipment is screened. Planning staff has included a condition recommending that
all rooftop or ground mounted mechanical equipment shall be hidden from view with the same
materials used on the building in accordance with City Code requirements.
E. Landscaping – Flexibility Requested
Section 1320.06 – District Requirements Chart of the City Code requires a minimum landscape
lot area of 20% or 32,234 square feet for the Subject Property in the B-2 Zoning District. The
Applicant is proposing a landscape lot area of approximately 34% percent or 55,835 square feet.
Additionally, at least 10% or 3,223 square feet of the total landscaped area (i.e. 32,234 square feet)
shall be covered with perennials and/or shrubbery. The Applicant is proposing perennial and/or
shrubbery of approximately 9% or 2,926 square feet. Planting islands shall occupy 10% or 2,346
square feet of the parking area (i.e. 23,465 square feet). The plans show the provided planting
islands are covering approximately 10.5% or 2,459 square of the parking area.
The site contains 984 caliper inches of significant trees. Section 1325.055 Subd. 5 allows for the
removal of fewer than ten (10) percent of the caliper inches of significant trees on the propert y
without requiring mitigation. Ten percent of 984 is 98.4 caliper inches. The Applicant proposes
removing 984 caliper inches of trees, meaning the Applicant is responsible for mitigation of 886
caliper inches removed above 10 percent. Per Section 1325.055 Subd. 6, the number of caliper
inches of trees required for replanting is determined at a rate of 1:2 or one (1) inch replaced for
every two (2) inches lost.

The Applicant is seeking flexibility for the required replacement of 443 caliper inches based on
the total inches removed and the rate of replacement due to the need to maintain exiting sightlines
for the firefighters when they leave for a call. The Applicant has noted the landscaping plan
includes an abundance of plantings and is proposing to plant 48 caliper inches on site. The
Applicant’s Tree Preservation Plan (Sheet L101) for the landscaping requirements table indicates
a proposed 128 caliper inches to be provided. For the purposes of this report, Planning Staff has
used the figures as calculated on the Landscaping Details and Notes Plan (Sheet L104) which
includes the tree inventory schedule. The Applicant has stated in their narrative that they would be
willing to consider an off-site location to satisfy this requirement, but does not have a location
identified. They have also requested the City waive the payment in lieu of option (i.e. cost of
materials and installation plus 10%) which would be considered as part of the PUD review. The
Planning Commission should discuss and provide a recommendation to the City Council as part
of this review.
The City Code requires a minimum of one (1) tree be provided along the right-of-way of every 40
feet of public street frontage. The proposed development would be required to plant seven (7)
trees along Pine Tree Drive which the Applicant has satisfied in their landscaping plan as
presented. A landscape plan is included as Attachment H.
Page 10 of 15
Landscape Plan
F. 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. In addition, there
shall be an internal sidewalk connection linking the primary entrance with the public sidewalk.
The Applicant has indicated they will comply with this requirement.
The Applicant is not proposing a bicycle rack/bicycle parking as part of this development. City
Code Section 1325.05 Subd, 8, Q applies to commercial uses and requires one (1) space for every
20 parking spaces.
3. Off-Street Parking Standards - Section 1325.06
A. Parking Setbacks – Meets Requirements
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 five (5) feet from any side or rear lot lines. The Applicant has
satisfied these requirements with the site plan as presented.
B. Number of Parking Stalls – Recommendation Requested
Per City Code 1325.06, there are general categories that determine the number of parking spaces
that would need to be provided. Public Use is listed under the category of “Uses Not Specifically
Noted Including Public Uses – As Determined by the City Council after recommendation by
Planning Commission”.
The Applicant is proposing 54 parking stalls. As noted in their narrative, the Headquarters facility
will generally have five (5) full time staff members that would maint ain typical Monday through
Friday 8 to 5 business hours. The fire station will have a crew of three (3) Firefighters on duty 24/7
to respond to fire and emergency medical service (EMS) calls. In addition, this facility will be used
for classroom and hands-on training with groups ranging from 10-40 firefighters in attendance a
few times each week. The Applicant seeks a recommendation from the Planning Commission to
the City Council for approval of the parking plan as presented.
Page 11 of 15
C. Driveways – Review Requested
Within the parking requirements, the City has a standard for the maximum driveway width for
residential and commercial, but not public use. As an example for commercial, the maximum
driveway width is 32 feet on City streets. The Applicant is proposing two (2) driveway accesses
along Pine Tree Drive. The southerly access is proposed to be 117 feet and the northerly access is
proposed to be 28 feet. Additional comments may be identified upon completion of the review by
the Public Works Director/City Engineer. However, one initial comment from the Consultant
Engineer was the spacing between Bethel’s main entrance and the proposed employee entrance
should be reconsidered to provide more spacing.
4. Sign Code – Section 1240.02
A. Freestanding Signs – Verification Needed
The Subject Property is located in Sign District 7. Properties in Sign District 7 are allowed one
(1) freestanding sign measuring up to 25 square feet in copy area and not exceeding eight (8) feet
in height. Freestanding signs shall be located at least five (5) feet from any property line. Sign
copy area is defined as the area in square feet of the smallest rectangle, circle, or triangle that
contains the sign copy. The Applicant is proposing a monument sign along Pine Tree Drive as
shown on the site plan in compliance with setbacks requirements. The proposed externally
illuminated freestanding sign is five (5) feet in height and has a total sign copy area of 36 square
feet as shown on the sign illustration including logo and text, not address information. Also, the
total area of a freestanding sign shall not exceed 1.5 times the permitted sign copy area of said
sign which would be 37.5 square feet for this application. The Applicant has indicated the
proposed freestanding sign has a total area of 30 square feet (60 inches tall by 72 inches wide).
The Applicant shall confirm the monument sign dimensions as part of the Planning Commission
review since the proposed copy area exceeds the total sign area as stated in the application
materials. Sign materials are noted to be consistent with building materials. The sign plan is
shown in Attachment G.
B. Wall Signs – Meets Requirements
Properties in Sign District 7 are allowed wall signs up to 45 square feet. The Applicant is
proposing two (2) non illuminated totaling 28 square feet of wall signs to be located on the east
and west elevations at the apparatus bays. The sign plan is shown in Attachment G.
Page 12 of 15
5. Section 1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications
A public hearing for a CUP and PUD 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.

The Lake Johanna Fire Department
The Lake Johanna Fire Department provides Fire and EMS response to the cities of Arden Hills, North
Oaks, and Shoreview. We operate three fire stations; two stations are staffed 24 hours a day. Station 2 is
located at 4676 Hodgson Rd, Station 3 at 5545 Lexington Ave. and Station 4 at 3615 Victoria St. We
anticipate staffing Station 3 over the next several years.
We currently have five full-time staff and 80 parHime firefighters who work shifts at the stations. We
require that all our Firefighte rs are State Certified Firefighte r II and State Certified EMT or higher. In 2021,
we are on pace to r un about 4,000 Fire /EMS ca ll s for the ye ar.
New Headquarters Building -Operations
The building at the 3535 Pine Tree Dr. address will be used as a new Headquarters/Fire Station and
replace station 4 located at 3615 Victolia St. The Headquarters' Office consists of five (5) full-time staff
members and would maintain typical Monday thru Friday 8-5 business hours. This fire station will be
staffed 24/7 with an additional two (2) to four (4) firefighters to respond to Fire/EMS calls.
Depending on the type of call, this station would typically respond with 1 truck for an EMS call, multiple
units may respond for Fire calls. Based on the current call volume, we would anticipate that this station
would respond to around 2,000 calls annually.
As our trucks respond to emergency calls, they will drive out of the apparatus bay and turn left on Pine
Tree Drive moving north to County Road E. For Emergency calls, we will be able to activate the traffic
lights at County Road E and Pine Tree Drive once the eme rgen cy lights are activated on any apparatus.
Traffi c pre-emption will control the intersection for the e mergency vehicl e, making it safer for the
firefighters and the public.
New Headquarters Building -Training Facility
This facility will also be used for classroom and hands-on training both inside the training room and
-outside. The number of firefighters training will vary from session to session. Typically, groups ranging
between 10 -40 firefighters would be attending the training offered a few times each week.
This facility will also include a four (4) story training tower on the west side of the building. This will have
live fire props inside the structure on two floors. The fire props will be natural gas fires which use non-
toxic, theatrical smoke machines. This 4-story training tower will also be used for ladder training and rope
rescue training.
New Headquarters Building -Public Fire Education
Our department is actively involved in Public Fire Education. We conduct various Public Fire Education
and station tours to groups throughout the year, as well as larger events such as the Fire Prevention Week
Open house.
New Headquarters Building -as your neighbor
We believe the New Headquarters/Station is ideally located to provide service to all those in Arden Hills,
North Oaks, and Shoreview. We will fit nicely into this new location and believe it will not have a negative
impact on nearby residents or bu sin esses. Station 3 is loc ate d next to Turtl e La ke Elementary School and
Station 2 next to Kinder Care, Montes sori School and Sho re vi ew Senior living Care facility.

PROJECT EXPLANATION
A Study in 2018 determined that a new Fire Station should be built on a new site to meet the needs of
"the next 50 years". The size should be at least 3 acres and a site of 3. 7 acres was purchased in 2020.
The Study also noted the Station should include 6 drive through bays and living/sleeping quarters. The
new Fire Station would then because of size and equipment contained would transition to become the
new Headquarters Station and include much needed training functions.
Exterior Design Concept
Overall Image from Pine Tree Drive-
The building exterior reflects the interior functions to the Public. The north half expresses the HQ office
function on the first floor and :firefighters dayroom, sleeping quarters and wellness spaces on the second
level. The south half of the building is the apparatus bays and associated functions. The north half
materials of glass and brick represent "office" and brick structural concrete wall panels on the south the
"apparatus bays".
Administrative Offices Entry/Main Entry
A sloped cantilevered metal canopy visually announces that this is the Public entrance to the facility. It
is adjacent the Memorial Entry Plaza and Flag display. As one enters the public parking area from Pine
Tree Drive after passing the monument sign, the entry is very visible as the sculptural canopy reaches
out toward the parking.
LJFD Headquarters
The ftmction of offices is reinforced by the glass that wraps the northeast building comer around the
offices on the inside. This glass feature is repeated at the set back second floor. Both levels include a
horizontal aluminum sunscreen as the design utilizes many "Green Building" sustainable design
features. The second level canopy over the exterior deck space is similar to the main entry canopy. The
Fire Chiefs' vehicles garage adjacent the offices frames the transition between office and apparatus
bays.
Apparatus Bays and Training Area
The south half of the building is brick structural insulated wall panels. The large bi-folding doors of the
apparatus bays are the predominant feature. Above each vehicle exit door will be a clerestory window.
The projecting clad tower fonn in the middle of the doors will be the backdrop for the LJFD logo
emblem . Behind this projected piece inside the building are the associated spaces for firefighting and
training.
Floor Plan Design Concept
Circulation Spine-First Level
Upon entering the LJFD Headquarters lobby a corridor organizes the first floor ending in the access to
the apparatus bays. The administrative offices are to the east and Training, fire/watch room and
associated rooms to the west. The six drive through bays are bisected by the firefighting spaces such as
tum out gear and training spaces. The multi-level training areas with props are the build out on the west
side of the building.
Circulation Spine-Second Level
Similar to the first level, the second floor has a hall with a stair at each end and elevator centrally
located. An efficient loop off of this spine accesses the sleeping rooms.
Training Space
The training spaces are multi-level and are vertically connected by the hose/training tower.

Dear Jessica,
I would like to provide some additional information and address a few questions about our Headquarters
Fire Station project to be located at 3535 Pine Tree Dr.
Lake Johanna Fire Department
The Lake Johanna Fire Department was incorporated in 1943 and serves the cities of Arden Hills, North
Oaks, and Shoreview. The department operates a total of three fire stations to provide service to over 31
square miles, and a combined population of over 42,000 residents. We staff all three stations with
Firefighters who are on duty 24/7. Our firefighters are EMTs or Paramedics and will respond to about
4,800 calls this year. The primary Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport services are provided by Allina
for all three cities.
Building Use
This new Headquarters Fire Station facility will house our administrative staff as well as a response crew.
There will be offices for the Fire Chief, three (3) Assistant Chiefs, and the Office Manager. The fire station
will have a crew of three (3) Firefighters on duty 24/7 to respond to fire and EMS calls. The building will
have a large training room and many different built-in training props for use all year long. There is a 4-
story training tower in the rear of the station that will have live fire props on multiple floors. These props
will be fueled by natural gas and use theatrical smoke which is non-toxic and dissipates very quickly.
Noise Concerns
Fire trucks leaving the station to respond to emergency calls will turn on their flashing emergency lights
which will capture the traffic signal at Pine Tree and County Road E. After pulling forward out of the
station onto the apron (driveway) they will make a left turn to the north on Pine Tree Drive. As they
approach County Road E, they will activate their sirens, and turn to the west or east as needed. The only
exception to this northerly route will be to respond to emergencies in the Hunters Park Condos, Hunters
Park neighborhood, or Catholic United building.
Some fire departments used to have large sirens on telephone poles that sound when there is a fire call.
Our department does not use those. When there is a fire or EMS call, the firefighters are alerted by lights
and speakers inside the building, as well as their radios and mobile phones.
For training occurring at this station, most of the training will occur inside the building, either in the
classroom or apparatus bays. The training occurring outside will typically include fire truck pumping
operations, aerial ladder training, and ground ladder training. On occasion the firefighters will be running
chain saws and other rescue tools.

Neighborly
Historically our fire department has been a very good neighbor to those around us. Our Hodgson Road
Fire Station is between a KinderCare and a Shoreview Senior Living Care facility while across the street is
Montessori School and single-family homes. Our current Headquarters Station on Lexington is across the
street from Turtle Lake Elementary School.

Honorable members of the Arden Hills City Council and Planning Commission
1245 W Highway 96
Arden Hills, MN 55112
RE: Land use applications for the proposed Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters Station
Honorable members,
Please accept this letter from the Lake Johanna Fire Department Board of Directors requesting
your support for the land use applications for the LJFD headquarters station project. The seven-
member board of directors is comprised of members from the cities of Arden Hills, North Oaks,
and Shoreview as well as three members of the LJFD fire department.
The need for this station was determined through a long-range planning study in 2018 which
found that the department is lacking sufficient training, administrative, and operating space, and
that response times in southern Arden Hills and Shoreview are slower due to the current station
140 location on Victoria Street in Shoreview, directly north of a rail line, effectively cutting off
response times. The proposed location for this new facility is ideal as it improves access for
emergency vehicles and improves response times to the service area. This project is a high
priority for each of the three cities as it provides necessary lifesaving resources to serve the
community.
The funding for this important project will primarily be through local tax dollars. The estimated
cost is $23,000,000; an allocation from the State of Minnesota of $6,370,000 has been
committed as they recognize the regional importance of this facility. Applications have been
made for federal funding which will be determined sometime in 2024. The remaining costs will
be paid for by the cities as allocated by the funding calculation.
Due to the significant impact on tax payers, it is requested that the City of Arden Hills waive any
possible fees, especially park dedication fees as this use will not add any burden to the Arden
Hills parks and trails system. Any reduction in fees is a direct reduction to tax payers.
It is the request of the LJFD Board of Directors that the Planning Commission and City Council
consider this review necessary public infrastructure and that you provide your highest level of
support for such an important and impactful public use.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 10, 2024
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Elena Fransen, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case #24-014 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Rose Kukwa
Property Location: 3776 Connelly Avenue
Request: Zoning Code Amendment, Master Planned Unit Development, Final
Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan
Review
Requested Action
Rose Kukwa (“The Applicant”) is requesting a Zoning Code Amendment, Master Planned Unit
Development, Final Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan Review to
redevelop the existing approximately 11,000 square foot commercial building on the property at
3776 Connelly Avenue (“Subject Property”). The proposal includes a request to allow the use of
an Event Center in the B-2 General Business Zoning District, to serve alcohol and food through a
State licensed caterer of liquor and food, and for renovations to the exterior of the building.
Background
1. Overview of Request
The Applicant has submitted a land use application for a Zoning Code Amendment, Master
Planned Unit Development, Final Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, and Site
Plan Review to redevelop the existing approximately 11,000 square foot commercial building on
the property at 3776 Connelly Avenue. The Subject Property is currently owned by Standout
Properties, LLC and the building is occupied by the Northern Lights Bingo Hall and Bright Side
Café. The Applicant is proposing to renovate the existing building and resurface the parking lot.
The Applicant is proposing a phased development with the event center established in Phase I and
restaurant and adult day care uses to be established in Phase II and Phase III, respectively. The
Applicant is seeking review and approval for Phases I and II at this time.
The Applicant presented a concept review at the City Council Work session on March 11, 2024.
Councilmembers provided feedback on the existing parking lot, landscaping, on-site parking, as
well as the process for serving liquor.
Page 2 of 24
This commercial corridor is accessible by way of County Road E West. This area is used by a
number of small and large businesses for a variety of retail, manufacturing, distribution,
warehousing, and office uses.
2. History of the Subject Property
The Subject Property was developed in 1986 as a bingo hall consisting of the approximately 11,000
square foot principal structure. A site plan review was required for this development as the property
had previously been used as a lumber site. The property changed ownership in 1991 and 2020 with
its continued use as a bingo hall which falls under the Commercial Recreation, Indoor land use
definition in the City’s Zoning Code. In 2020, the property’s kitchen was remodeled and the
Brightside Café was opened within the existing bingo hall. In 2021, the Brightside Café was
approved for a liquor license effective in 2022. In 2023, Northern Lights Bingo Hall ceased bingo
game operations and the Subject Property started to be used for organized sports, which also falls
under the definition of a Commercial Recreation, Indoor land use with the installation of turf for
the rental use of soccer clubs for practices. A liquor license for the Brightside Café was maintained
through the end of 2023 but was not renewed for 2024.
Approvals
1. Zoning Code Amendment
The Applicant is proposing to use the property as an Event Center. Currently, the city code is
absent of land use language permitting an Event Center use or establishing standards for the
development or operation of an event center within any zoning district. To allow this land use, the
City’s Zoning Code would need to be amended to add a definition for an Event Center and to
designate this type of land use within a zoning district. The proposed Event Center would not be
permitted without a zoning code amendment.
As part of the land use application, the Applicant has proposed for the use of an event center to be
allowed in the B-2 General Business Zoning District through a conditional use permit. The
Applicant has stated that the addition of an event center as a conditional use in the B-2 Zoning
District aligns with the districts purpose of accommodating commercial activities that serve the
local community. The other approvals noted in the land use application would not be applicable
unless the Event Center use is permitted within the B-2 General Business Zoning District.
2. Planned Unit Development
A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required for all new development and redevelopment in
the B-2 District. In addition, a PUD would allow for performance standard flexibility. This
proposal involves both the initial Master Plan PUD and the Final PUD for Phase I and II. Under
the PUD Master Plan, the Applicant shall provide details for each stage of development, but would
be required to seek the PUD Final Plan approval of Phase III at the time of establishing the future
use of an adult day care. The Applicant has provided details in the Architectural Plans (Attachment
G) which identifies how the Subject Property would be utilized in Phase I as an event center, Phase
II as a restaurant, and Phase III as an adult day care. The Planning Commission should consider
the different phases of development while considering the Master and Final PUD as proposed in
this application. In this application, the Applicant is seeking approval for Phase I, the event center,
and Phase II, which includes the restaurant. The Applicant states in the narrative that Phase II
Page 3 of 24
would begin immediately after the completion of Phase I for the event center with the restaurant
being operational once a liquor license is obtained.
Site Plan
Site Rendering
3. Conditional Use Permit
The Applicant is proposing that in the B-2 District, a Conditional Use Permit is required for an
event center. Typical factors to consider in the evaluation of the CUP request may be hours of
operation, potential noise from the proposed use, lights from vehicles, and on-site traffic. The
Applicant is proposing all events will be held inside the building to contain noise within the venue
Page 4 of 24
and their request includes supplementary materials related to a security plan and traffic
considerations.
City Code Section 1355.04 Subd. 3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists the criteria for evaluating
a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission and City Council should consider the effect
of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and
occupants of the surrounding land and the community, in general, including but not limited to the
following factors:
1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions;
2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and
other nuisance characteristics;
3. Drainage;
4. Population density;
5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land;
6. Adjoining land values;
7. Park dedications where applicable;
8. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and
intent of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City.
Other Approvals
As part of the land use application, the Applicant is proposing an amendment to the City Code to
add an event center as a type of business licensed in Arden Hills and to allow for the on-sale liquor
sales at an event center through a state licensed caterer. These amendments are proposed in Chapter
3 and 5 of the City Code which establish business licensing and the standards for alcoholic
beverages in the City, respectively. Due to State Statute, an event center cannot hold a liquor
license. The Applicant has stated in their narrative that in Phase I of the redevelopment, the
proposed event center would provide food and alcohol services through caterers with State
Licenses. As part of Phase II, the Applicant intends to open the restaurant and to obtain a city
liquor license for the restaurant to enhance the dining experience and complement event catering.
The Applicant notes that while the intent is to operate the restaurant on the property to serve both
food and alcohol, there could be occasions that external catering is utilized to accommodate
specific culinary preferences. Allowing the proposed event center to serve alcohol with a licensed
caterer would provide for more flexible and inclusive services.
City Code text amendments to Chapter 3 and 5 are part of this land use application. The Planning
Commission will not be asked to make a finding of fact or consider motion language for the
Chapter 3 and 5 City Code amendments. The City Council will review those amendments at a later
scheduled date.
Zoning Code Text Amendments
The purpose of the B-2 General Business District is to:
• Be a place in which people can live, work and play.
• Create a compact, architecturally diverse, pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly community
with a distinct identity.
Page 5 of 24
• Provide a connected sidewalk system and places for people to gather and socialize. To
implement design standards to promote an attractive environment with lasting and
sustainable value.
• Group compatible retail and service business uses that tend to draw trade that is naturally
interchangeable and promotes business prosperity.
• Provide an adequate supply of businesses and professional service areas to meet the needs
of the residents.
• Minimize the effects of traffic congestion, noise, odor, glare and similar safety problems.
According to the Applicant, the proposed ordinance amendment will support the growth and
diversification of the local economy while meeting the evolving needs of the community. The
Applicant references that event centers have become increasingly popular as venues for various
social and corporate events and that allowing for these dedicated facilities would enhance the city’s
attractiveness as a destination for such gatherings.
As proposed, the text amendment would define an Event Center and designate this type of land
use as a conditional use in the B-2 General Business District. The Applicant has also proposed Off
Street Parking Spaces Required for an Event Center use, specifying 1 space for every 3 seats as
the required number of spaces. Staff has prepared text amendments based on the Applicant’s
narrative as well as a few other criteria suggested by Staff (based on a survey of neighboring
communities) for “Event Center” language within Sections 1305.04 Definitions, 1320.05 Land
Use Chart, 1320.085 Special Requirements for the B-2 General Business District, and 1325.06
Requirements for Parking, Loading and Circulation.
Applicant’s Narrative:
1) Add Event Center as a use permitted by a conditional use permit in the B-2 Zoning District
in Section 1320.05 Land Use Chart.
2) Establish parking requirements for event centers at 1 parking space per three seats at design
capacity in Section 1325.06 Requirements for Parking, Loading and Circulation.
Additional Code Amendments to consider:
3) Add a definition for Event Center within Section 1305.04 Definitions
a. Event Center: An establishment which is rented by individuals or groups to host
scheduled private events including but not limited to weddings, cultural
celebrations, corporate functions, and banquets. Such use may or may not include
1) kitchen facilities for the preparation or catering of food; 2) the sale of alcoholic
beverages for on-premises consumption only during scheduled events and not open
to the general public; and 3) outdoor gardens, patios or outdoor gathering areas.
4) Amend Section 1320.085 Special Requirements for the B-2 General Business District
a. Create a new Subdivision 6 – Event Center Additional Conditional Use Permit
Criteria that establishes the requirements and criteria for a conditional use permit
for Event Center as a conditional use in the B-2 District.
Proposed language:
A. In addition to meeting the requirements of Section 1325 and 1355.04 Subd 4, event
centers shall conform to the following:
Page 6 of 24
1. The occupancy of the building must never exceed the occupancy load posted based
on the Fire Marshal’s determination.
2. The serving of alcohol shall be subject to Minnesota State Statute and Chapter 5 -
Alcoholic Beverages of the Arden Hills City Code requirements and is permitted
only in conjunction with a private event that is not open to the public.
3. Licensing information from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office may be
requested by City. City could at its discretion request licensing information from
the County Sheriff's Office.
4. A security plan shall be submitted and approved by the City;
5. A noise mitigation strategy shall be submitted and approved by the City.
B. In addition to meeting the requirements of Section 1325 and 1355.04 Subd 4, the City
may:
1. Prohibit access from a predominantly residential street;
2. Restrict the hours of operation for loading docks;
3. Require greater than minimum setbacks for structures and driveways;
4. Require opaque screening to eliminate headlight glare;
5. Impose any other restriction it deems to be in the public interest.
For research, staff conducted a survey of other local ordinances and found that Cities of New
Brighton, Roseville, Shoreview, Little Canada and Vadnais Heights have language that allows for
similar uses with a majority of communities requiring a conditional use permit in at least one
commercial zoning district. Parking requirements were also reviewed and fell between one (1)
space for every three (3) seats and one (1) space for every four (4) seats. Staff reached out to New
Brighton and heard that the primary concerns were proximity to residential neighborhoods and the
liquor licensing of vendors. Staff has drafted special requirements for event centers language that
considers these potential concerns. The Planning Commission could suggest additional language
for the requirements for an event center use related to proximity to residential neighborhoods and
parking requirements.
The Applicant has requested for the use of an Event Center to be allowed in the B-2 General
Business Zoning District through a conditional use permit. The text amendment as drafted would
add “Event Center” as a use permitted by a conditional use permit in the B-2 District and would
add additional criteria to Section 1320.085 Special Requirements for the B-2 General Business
District. The Planning Commission may consider adding the Event Center use permitted by a
conditional use permit to additional zoning districts. If identified as an amendment, the Special
Requirements could be moved from Section 1320.085 and added to General Regulations in a new
Section 1325.047 titled Event Center Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria. The
requirements would then be applicable to the zoning districts that the Planning Commission
recommends an Event Center be permitted by conditional use permit.
The following are items identified by staff that the Planning Commission may wish to discuss and
consider:
• Zoning Districts
• Permitted hours of operation in the ordinance.
• Permitted maximum occupancy in the ordinance.
• Specifying if outdoor space is permitted for an event center and if there would be additional
requirements.
Page 7 of 24
The Planning Commission is asked to review the drafted text amendments and provide comment
and suggest applicable revisions to the text as drafted. An ordinance amendment to the Zoning
Code requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission.
Plan Evaluation
Overview of Proposal
Redevelopment
The Applicant is proposing the redevelopment of the Subject Property as the Elegant Event Center.
Improvements will be made to the exterior finishes of the principal structure, the parking lot, and
the site’s landscaping. Existing conditions for the site can be found on the site survey in
Attachment E. The principal structure will remain on site with enhanced building materials and
the proposed plans show the addition of a trash enclosure to the north side of the Subject Property.
The parking lot improvements include the removal of the existing covered parking structure and
the addition of parking islands for additional landscaping and area lighting for the parking lot.
Changes to the parking lot include a removal of several existing parking spaces near the property
driveway and the establishment of ADA ramps and surfaces and handicap accessible parking
spaces. The Applicant states that the plan is to improve and restore both the building and the
property so that it will enhance, not detract, from the surrounding area.
Business Operations
The Applicant is proposing that the Subject Property be used for three different uses within the
same principal structure and that these uses will be established through a phased approach. The
space is conceived to be shared among the uses with some overlap as noted in the evaluation below.
Phase I - Event Center
In Phase I, scheduled until December 2024, the building and other site improvements would be
completed, and the Event Center use would be established. The proposed hours of operation for
the event center are 8:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
Friday through Sunday. The Applicant is requesting City Code Amendments to be allowed to serve
liquor and would propose liquor service ending at 2:00 a.m. During Phase I, the Applicant is
proposing that food and liquor for the event center will be served through a caterer that holds State
licenses for food and liquor. The proposed occupancy for the event center is 464 people, which
would include event staff.
Access to the event center spaces will be provided through the building’s main entry. Patrons
would pass through the existing restaurant space to enter the main hall. The existing kitchen is
directly adjacent to the main hall space. The main hall space also has access to the existing covered
patio space, which will be utilized as a designated smoking area with fencing enclosing the space
from the parking lot. Other spaces in the building that could be used during an event include bride
and groom suites and an office for event staff.
Page 8 of 24
Interior Event Center Floor Plan
As part of the narrative, the Applicant noted proposed plans for security and noise control. For
security, the building is equipped with at least 24 security cameras around and inside the building
for monitoring of all areas and there are two police panic buttons inside the building to alert local
law enforcement of incidents. The Applicant is proposing that during events there will be onsite
security officers to control access points to prevent unauthorized entry, ensure alcohol is not taken
onto the patio area, and maintain safety conditions for attendees. Alcohol management is also
noted, with a plan for strict protocols for the serving of alcohol to monitor consumption, prevent
overconsumption, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
For noise control, the Applicant proposes a plan, stating all events will be held inside the building
to contain noise. Additionally, the use of concrete in the building walls can effectively soundproof
and prevent noise from leaving the building, which can reduce the impact of noise on the
surrounding community. Security measures will also help manage noise in outdoor areas by
managing and dispersing groups that congregate outside, particularly in the designated smoking
area.
The Applicant is seeking approval for Phase I with this application. The Planning Commission
should consider the proposed plans for the Event Center use and the supplementary plans for
security and noise management when evaluating the PUD and CUP criteria.
Phase II - Restaurant
In Phase II, which the Applicant notes will begin immediately after Phase I, involves opening the
restaurant area. The Applicant’s proposed intent is to obtain a liquor license to provide liquor
service on-site once the restaurant is operational. Liquor services would be available to the
restaurant as well as the event center during restaurant hours. Currently, on-sale intoxicating liquor
licenses are limited to hotels, restaurant, clubs, or exclusive liquor stores. The Applicant states that
Page 9 of 24
while the in-house restaurant is intended to serve food and alcohol to events, the event center
would on occasion work with external caterers to accommodate specific culinary preferences or
cuisines that the restaurant cannot provide. The Applicant reasons that working with outside
caterers will support the event center’s flexibility and inclusivity of services.
The restaurant would use the existing café footprint and the proposed restaurant occupancy
capacity is 34 seats and five (5) employees to meet staffing needs. Patrons of the restaurant would
access the space through the main entry which would lead them directly to the restaurant space
which is not being reconfigured from the existing floor plan. The restaurant would utilize the
existing on-site kitchen.
In Attachment D, the Applicant stated that the restaurant would be operational when the event
center space is in use to provide food and beverages to the event but that the restaurant would not
be open to the public while the event center is in use. Based on the definitions of a restaurant in
Chapter 5 – Alcoholic Beverages, a restaurant with these operational restrictions would not be
eligible for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license. Following discussion with Staff, the Applicant
has provided an update to the proposal, stating that the restaurant would be open to the public
during regular business hours and while the event space is in use for private events. The Applicant
provided hours of operations specific to the restaurant use, stating that the restaurant’s hours of
operations will be 8:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
The Applicant is seeking approval for Phase II with this application.
Interior Restaurant Floor Plan
Phase III – Adult Day Care
Page 10 of 24
Phase III, set for August 2025, includes the added operations of an adult day care program. The
Applicant is working with the Minnesota Department of Human Services to modify an existing
Home and Community-Based Services license. The adult day car program would offer activities
such as educational programs, arts and crafts, supervised field trips, board games, and group fitness
exercise sessions.
The adult day care use would use the main hall of the event center and a floor plan for the use is
shown below. The Applicant has stated that the event center use would not overlap with the adult
day care use due to the nature of both uses using the main hall of the building. The adult day care
space is shown as accessible through the main entry and the side door with access to the covered
patio. The proposed occupancy is twenty (20) service participants and four (4) staff. The proposed
hours of operations for Adult Day Programs are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
The Applicant notes that the restaurant will be operational during the hours of the adult day care
to provide lunches to the day care members.
Adult day care facility is a permitted use in the B-2 General Business Zoning District. However,
the Applicant will be required to submit for a PUD Amendment as part of the phasing plan. A full
evaluation of the future adult day care use will be provided once the PUD Amendment is
submitted. The Planning Commission should consider the Phase III use with this application and
provide comment about possible provisions for this use as it relates to an event center and
restaurant within the same shared building.

2. Design Standards – Section 1325.05 and 1325.055
A. 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. Metals shall have a matte finish and have
visible corner moldings and trim when used on exterior walls. 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. Building colors shall be muted. Recommended colors include browns, grays, tans,
beiges, and dark or muted green, blues, and reds. Bright or brilliant colors and sharply contrasting
colors may be used for only accent purposes occupying a maximum of five percent (5%) of
building façades.
The Planning Commission should evaluate the architectural style and building character based on
the quality of its design and on its relationship to its surroundings. Site characteristics to be
evaluated for this purpose include, but are not limited to, building and landscaping materials,
Page 12 of 24
colors, textures, shapes, massing, building components, height, roof-line, and setback. A full plan
set of building elevations is included as Attachment G. Staff has provided the review below on
building materials as shared by the Applicant in order for the Planning Commission to attain a
better understanding of the full scope of their project design.
Building Materials – Flexibility Requested
The proposed building elevations consist of brick veneer, transparent glass, metal panels, and
wood. The Applicant has requested for the brick veneer to be considered preferred materials as the
brick would be actual clay brick, approximately half (1/2) an inch to five eighths (5/8) of an inch
thick. Each brick would be individually installed with mortar joints.
The Applicant has also requested flexibility from the 75% desirable materials requirement on the
south building elevation where there is an existing tall parapet wall above an existing overhang.
The Applicant states that there is a concern about this parapet wall’s ability to accept additional
weight from desirable materials such as brick masonry, tile masonry or natural stone. The proposed
south elevation shows metal panels used on the existing parapet wall and the materials for the
elevation would consist of 63% desirable materials and 37% accent materials.
If these flexibilities in building materials are granted, the Applicant will have met the 75%
threshold with desired materials on three elevations based on the calculated use of brick and
transparent glass. The Applicant states that the exterior finishes for all elevations would equal 89%
desirable materials and 11% accent materials.

Rendering of East and West Elevations – Event Center
Page 13 of 24
Rendering of South and North Elevations – Event Center
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. If the building is a one story design and the first floor elevation exceeds
12 feet, then only the first 12 feet shall be included in calculating the façade area.
The south and east elevations of the existing building have some frontage on Connelly Avenue.
The Applicant is seeking flexibility from the transparency standard due to the construction of the
existing building and the nature of the proposed use. The east elevation of the building is
constructed of concrete block with existing covered openings near the roofline. It would be
difficult to add a significant number of windows into the existing concrete block walls to meet the
50% requirement. The Applicant also states that the function of an event space requires a certain
level of privacy and that windows viewing the activity inside the space would not be conducive to
the activity.
The Applicant offers that the existing main entrance at the southeast corner of the building consists
of glass windows and glass entry doors with additional windows on the south wall. The proposal
includes plans to maintain the main entry to allow views of the activities in the restaurant and bar
areas of the building. The proposal would still enhance the existing building’s appearance while
serving the functions inside.
B. Building Positioning – Nonconforming
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 minimum front
yard setback for the B-2 District is 50 feet and the existing front setback line is at 48.8 feet, which
encroaches into the minimum setback. The Applicant is not proposing changes to the existing
setback and would maintain the existing setback with the proposed development.
C. Lighting – Flexibility Requested
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. Any light or combination of lights
shall not cast light that exceeds a meter reading of one foot candle on the travel lanes of
adjoining public streets or 0.4 foot candles on adjoining residential property.
Page 14 of 24
The proposed lighting plan includes poly mounted area lights and wall lights to be installed at the
south and east elevations. The proposed lighting is consistent with the use and the surrounding
area. The Applicant has submitted a photometric plan that identifies the types of light fixtures and
quantities. The Subject Property is not adjacent to a residential property. The photometric plan
shows that proposed lighting at one location will exceed a meter reading of one foot candle on
Connelly Avenue with a reading of 1.4 foot candles. 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. Site Furnishings – Flexibility Requested
Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, J, establishes provisions for site furnishings and seating areas for new
development, redevelopment, and modifications to existing sites in the B-2 District. Per the code,
benches and decorative plantings shall be provided near the primary entrance of all buildings on a
site. The Applicant has not indicated plans for benches or plantings to be placed near the entrance
to the proposed event center.
Also noted in J of Subd. 8, restaurants shall include a functional outdoor seating area with tables,
chairs, planting and access to the restaurant. As a restaurant is part of the Master PUD, and the use
will be established at the Subject Property in Phase II of development, the proposed development
is subject to this requirement. The Applicant noted in this application that there are no plans for an
outdoor seating area and that the porch area on the east side of the building is a designated smoke
area and would not be used for outside seating for the restaurant or the event center.
The Applicant also stated as part of the narrative that the proposed development is intended to be
fully enclosed to ensure noise is contained within the venue. The Planning Commission may
comment on the proposed site furnishings as they apply to both Phase I and Phase II of
development.
E. Screening – For Review
Under Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, K, Trash and recycling equipment, materials, and containers shall
be fully enclosed and integrated into the architecture of the buildings. All mechanical equipment,
whether roof-mounted or ground-mounted should be integrated into the architecture of the
building. It shall be completely screened from the ground-level view of adjacent properties and
public streets. Wood screening shall not be permitted.
There is a trash enclosure proposed for the Subject Property and located on the north side of the
site. This enclosure will feature metal trash enclosure gates and the other three elevations will be
constructed of a metal panel material consistent with the building design.
The Applicant has noted that all mechanical equipment is located on the ground along the west
side of the building. There are no existing roof-mounted systems, and none will be added as part
of the proposed development. The Applicant is proposing all ground mounted mechanical
equipment will be screened from view by new on-site landscaping which is shown in the
landscaping plans in Attachment F. The Applicant states that the equipment will not be visible
from the right of way on the west side of Snelling Avenue. The Planning Commission should
comment as part of the review if the proposed screening is sufficient.
F. Landscaping – Flexibility Requested
Page 15 of 24
Section 1320.06 – District Requirements Chart of the City Code requires a minimum landscape
lot area of 20% or 18,908.6 square feet for the Subject Property in the B-2 District. The Applicant
is proposing a landscape lot area of approximately 23.34% percent or 22,067 square feet.
Additionally, at least 10% or 2,206.7 square feet of the total landscaped area (i.e. 22,067 square
feet) shall be covered with perennials and/or shrubbery. The Applicant is proposing perennial
and/or shrubbery of approximately 23.63% or 5,214.5 square feet.
Planting islands shall occupy 10% or 6,478.8 square feet of the parking area (i.e. 64,788 square
feet). The landscaping plans show seven (7) proposed parking islands but do not indicate the total
square feet of the provided planting islands. Additionally, per City Code, planting islands shall be
edged with concrete curbs. Parking lot planting islands shall be a minimum of 150 square feet in
area, be of appropriate width and length, and include at least one tree to meet the requirements of
this ordinance. The Applicant has stated a request for flexibility from the planting islands
requirements for concrete curbs and one tree per parking lot planting island. Plans show that six
(6) of the seven (7) parking lot planting islands will not have a tree planted and that one (1) planting
island would have three (3) trees planted. The request notes that the proposed plans do not include
new curb and gutter for parking lot planting islands in order to maintain existing drainage patterns
and to allow site lighting in lieu of trees within six (6) of the proposed islands to provide adequate
lighting to the site.
The site contains approximately 145 caliper inches of significant trees. Section 1325.055 Subd. 5
allows for the removal of fewer than ten (10) percent of the caliper inches of significant trees on
the property without requiring mitigation. Ten percent of 145 is 14.5 caliper inches. The Applicant
proposes removing 118 caliper inches of trees, meaning the Applicant is responsible for mitigation
of 103.5 caliper inches removed above 10 percent. Per Section 1325.055 Subd 6, the number of
caliper inches of trees required for replanting is determined at a rate of 1:2 or one inch replaced
for every two inches lost. The Applicant intends to replace the 61 caliper inches required based on
the total inches removed and the rate of replacement.

The City Code requires a minimum of one (1) tree be provided along the right-of-way of every
50 feet of public street frontage. The Subject Property survey shows the south property line with
frontage on Connelly Avenue has 248 feet of frontage. The proposed development would be
required to plant five (5) trees along the Connelly Avenue right-of-way. Right-of-way tree
plantings are not shown in the plans and is considered a request for flexibility.
G. Snow Storage – For Review
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 identified in their narrative and on a
Plan Sheet C-B in the Civil Plans (Attachment F) that snow storage would be located at the four
corners of the property. The plan shows that if the snow accumulation exceeds capacity
available for on-site storage, the Applicant intends to have snow hauled off-site with a snow
removal vendor.
H. Parking Setbacks – Meets Requirements
Page 16 of 24
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. The Applicant has satisfied this requirement and has an
approximately 28-foot setback from the ROW along Connelly Avenue. For side and rear
setbacks, off-street parking spaces are required to be located a minimum of 5 feet from rear and
side lot lines. The paving plan shown on Plan Sheet C3 in the Civil Plans indicates parking
spaces will be setback ten (10) feet from the west side property line, five (5) feet from the north
rear property line, and five (5) feet from the east side property. Plans indicate that the Applicant
would satisfy the requirements for off-street parking space setbacks.
I. 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, but an event center as a principal use is not specifically identified.
As part of the land use application for a Zoning Code Amendment, the Applicant has provided the
following provisions to apply based on the proposed use as an event center:
• Event Center – one (1) parking space for every three (3) seats at designed capacity.
The Applicant is proposing the replacement of the existing parking lot with 145 parking stalls
including 5 accessible stalls. Based on a review of Ramsey County Aerial Data from 2022, the
Subject Property was last identified to have 74 striped parking spaces. The proposed parking
replacement would result in a decrease of approximately 2,000 square feet in parking lot. The
proposal includes the addition of parking islands for lighting and landscaping that do not exist on
site. The proposed plan for Phase I would consist of an event center building of approximately
11,000 square feet with a designed capacity for 464 people. At the proposed provision for the
minimum off-street parking requirement, the proposed design capacity of 464 people would
require 155 spaces. As such, the Applicant is seeking flexibility to provide 145 parking spaces
instead of the calculated requirement of 155 for the event center use.
The Applicant states that 145 spaces will be sufficient as it is not anticipated to have 464 people
on site simultaneously. It is noted that attendees of conferences, weddings, and performances often
carpool, resulting in a higher average car occupancy. The requested flexibility would allow for a
balance between providing parking and maintaining landscaping within the community.
In Phase II, the proposed restaurant use is evaluated based on the provisions for a Restaurants,
Bars use:
• Restaurants, Bards – one (1) for every two (2) seats.
The proposed plan for Phase II would consist of the restaurant portion of the building with a
designed capacity of 34 people. Based on this provision, 17 parking spaces would be required. As
the event center and restaurant uses would be operational simultaneously, the parking requirements
for both uses apply. A minimum of 172 parking spaces would be required for the event center and
restaurant. By proposing 145 parking spaces for the site, the Applicant is seeking flexibility for
the 27 parking spaces not provided. The Applicant states that the 145 parking spaces should be
sufficient as it is not anticipated that there will be a time when the 464 person occupancy capacity
is reached on site.
The Planning Commission should review the requested flexibility for parking to determine if the
parking proposed is sufficient for the proposed development with the event center and restaurant
uses.
Page 17 of 24
J. Traffic Study and Site Circulation – For Review
The site currently has one access point to the Subject Property along Connelly Avenue and no
changes are proposed to the current configuration. Under Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, a traffic study
shall be required for all new developments, redevelopments, and significant modifications to
existing sites. A traffic study has been prepared (see Attachment I for summary section of report).
The traffic report compares the Phase I event center proposal to the existing bingo hall use during
weekday AM and PM peak hours. The memo dated June 10, 2024 prepared by SEH notes that the
redevelopment of the site to an event center is expected to generate approximately 130 entering
trips in a one-hour period prior to an event and 62 exiting trips after the event. The Phase II
restaurant use was not included in the provided traffic comparison or summary.
Compared to the existing use, there would be an additional 120 trips entering in one hour and
fewer trips expected to exit during one hour after an event. It is anticipated that the proposed
business would generate less than 400 trips in one day, likely on a weekend with an evening event
at maximum capacity. The Memo concludes that the anticipated traffic generated is not expected
to impact the operations or safety of Connelly Avenue or its intersections with County Road E.
The peak hours of events may conflict for a short amount of time with other adjacent businesses
and the signal at County Road E and Connelly Avenue to monitor timings and make minor
adjustments as needed.
The Applicant was asked to demonstrate how larger trucks would maneuver internally. The
Applicant did provide as part of their submission illustrating vehicle movements. This plan sheet
is included in the civil plans within Attachment F. The Fire Marshall is still reviewing this
application and has yet to provide formal comments.
K. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation – For Review
Pedestrian and bicycle improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City of Arden Hills
Comprehensive Plan. The Applicant has provided a pedestrian circulation plan as part of the Civil
Plans which shows site navigation for pedestrians. There is not an existing public sidewalk or trail
network for an internal sidewalk system to link to adjacent to the Subject Property.
The Applicant is proposing a bicycle rack/bicycle parking as part of this development located near
the southeast corner of the building. The submitted Civil Plans show seven (7) bicycle spaces. City
Code Section 1325.05 Subd, 8, Q does require one (1) space for every 20 parking spaces.
Commercial developments are required to have a minimum of two (2) bicycle parking spaces.
L. Freestanding Signs – Nonconforming, Flexibility Requested
The Subject Property is located in Sign District 7. Properties in Sign District 7 are allowed one (1)
freestanding sign measuring up to 25 square feet in copy area and not exceeding 8 feet in height.
Freestanding signs shall be located at least five (5) feet from any property line. Sign copy area is
defined as the area in square feet of the smallest rectangle, circle, or triangle that contains the sign
copy. Signs in Sign District 7 may be lit by external illumination only.
The Applicant is proposing to reface an existing freestanding pole sign located on the west side of
the property. The existing pole sign is nonconforming with the height, illumination, and sign copy
area requirements for freestanding signs in Sign District 7. The proposed internally illuminated
sign would be approximately 16 feet in height and have a total sign copy area of approximately
23.2 square feet. Also, the total area of a freestanding sign shall not exceed 1.5 times the permitted
sign copy area of said sign which would be 34.8 square feet for this application. The proposed
Page 18 of 24
freestanding sign has a total area of 40.4 square feet. The sign plans are shown on Page A5.1 in
Attachment G.
Existing Pole Sign Proposed Freestanding Sign
M. Wall Signs – Flexibility Requested
Properties in Sign District 7 are allowed wall signs up to 45 square feet and signs may be externally
and internally illuminated. The Applicant is proposing one (1) internally illuminated 41 square
foot wall sign to be located on the east elevation above the main entry. The sign plans also show a
graphic sign located on the south elevation above the main entry. The city code defines a graphic
sign as “a sculpture attached to or sign painted directly on a wall that is primarily symbolic or
representational in nature and not alpha or numeric in content or copy.” The sign ordinance does
not permit graphic signs in Sign District 7. The Applicant is seeking flexibility to install the graphic
wall sign.

Introduction
Our business thrives on the success and vitality of the Arden Hills neighborhood. We are
committed to enhancing this community by addressing unmet needs and fostering mutually
beneficial partnerships with local businesses. Our approach is rooted in collaboration, ensuring
that we contribute positively to the local economy while building a solid foundation for long-
term growth.
We have a proven history of working effectively with government bodies to establish a reputable
and thriving business. Our experience in navigating the regulatory landscape allows us to
implement projects that align with community standards and expectations, ensuring that our
initiatives are both sustainable and impactful. We believe that our commitment to excellence and
community engagement sets us apart, positioning us as a trusted partner in the continued
development of Arden Hills.
Our Background
Rose and James Kukwa, immigrants from Cameroon now proud US citizens, arrived in the
United States 13 and 22 years ago, respectively. Their journey to entrepreneurship stemmed from
a profound encounter during a bitter winter in Minnesota, when a homeless individual sought
refuge at their doorstep. While offering assistance is customary in Cameroon, caution prevailed,
highlighting a cultural difference. Nonetheless, their compassionate response sparked a
commitment to serve their newfound community. In 2013, they founded Opportunity
Community Services to aid individuals with limited means, impacting over 5000 lives by
providing housing assistance and fostering community connections. Additionally, their active
involvement in event planning within the Cameroonian community unveiled a pressing need for
a versatile event venue, catalyzing the inception of Elegant Event Center.
Location and Plans
Situated at 3776 Connelly Ave in Arden Hills, Minnesota, the former Bingo Hall and Brightside
Café premises offer an ideal setting for an elegant event center. The property spans 11,976
square feet on 2.19 acres, boasting ample parking and a sprinkler system for safety. While the
current owner has made some capital improvements to the current property, there is deferred
maintenance. Our plan is to improve and restore both the building and the property so that it will
enhance, not detract, from the surrounding area.
Phased Development
Phase 1: Scheduled until December 2024, focuses on establishing a versatile event center
capable of hosting various gatherings. The center, designed to accommodate up to 464 attendees,
features modern amenities and ensures a secure environment with on-site security. Catering
services will be provided under licensed arrangements, ensuring compliance with alcohol serving
regulations.
Phase 2: Will begin immediately after Phase 1 and involves opening up the Café area, obtaining
a liquor license to enhance the dining experience and complement event catering. The café will
continue to operate within its current square footage, maintaining a seating capacity of 34. It will
remain open for as long as the event space is in use, providing food and beverages to event
attendees. Drawings and plans are included with architectural work.
Phase 3: Set for August 2025, aiming to build a sustainable business model that takes advantage
of the space during other days/times for an adult day care program. This initiative addresses
community needs while ensuring financial stability. We are currently collaborating with the
Minnesota Department of Human Services to modify our existing Home and Community-Based
Services license. Once these adjustments are completed, operations will commence. The adult
day care will share the same space as the event hall on designated days of the week. We
anticipate the Day care program would serve a maximum of 20 people weekly. The Café will
play a key role in this phase by providing hot, fresh lunches to our day care members. The Adult
Day Care program will offer activities such as educational programs, arts and crafts, supervised
field trips, board games, and group fitness exercise sessions. Drawings and plans are included
with architectural work.
Operating Hours
Operating hours are tailored to suit community needs, ranging from 8 am to 11:59 pm Monday
through Thursday, and 8 am to 3 am on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with liquor service
ending at 2 am.
For Adult Day Programs: 8 am to 4 pm Monday through Thursday.
Benefits to the Community
Economic Growth
• Job Creation: The project will create employment opportunities, including event staff,
kitchen staff, servers, and administrative positions.
• Local Spending: By sourcing supplies and services locally, the venue will support other
businesses in the community.
• Increased Tourism: Hosting events and attracting visitors from outside the area can
boost tourism and bring additional revenue to local businesses.
Community Engagement
• Social Hub: The venue can become a central gathering place for various community
events, fostering social connections and a sense of belonging.
4
• Cultural Exchange: Hosting a diverse range of events such as weddings, cultural
celebrations, and corporate functions can promote cultural exchange and understanding
within the community.
Support for Local Businesses
• Vendor Partnerships: Collaborating with local vendors for catering, floral
arrangements, and event planning services will support small businesses and
entrepreneurs in the area.
• Networking Opportunities: Events hosted at the venue can facilitate networking among
local businesses and professionals, leading to potential partnerships and collaborations.
Enhanced Quality of Life
• Access to Event Spaces: Providing a venue for weddings, parties, and community events
offers residents a convenient and attractive option for celebrating special occasions.
• Recreational Activities: The addition of a restaurant and potentially an adult day care
program offers residents additional amenities and services that contribute to their overall
quality of life.
Revenue Generation for the City
• Tax Revenue: The project will generate tax revenue for the city through property taxes,
sales taxes, and potentially liquor license fees.
• Property Value Increase: A successful and thriving event venue can contribute to the
attractiveness and desirability of the neighborhood, potentially leading to an increase in
property values.
Parking, Security Measures, and Noise Control
Parking
As mentioned above, the center is designed to accommodate up to 464 attendees. Parking needs
are adequately addressed with 145 spaces available on-site. Additionally, agreements are being
made with neighboring businesses particularly The Presbyterian Church of the way located
Minutes from the venue to utilize their parking facilities on an as-needed basis.
We are presenting a proposal for establishing parking requirements for the new and future event
centers in Arden Hills. As this will be the first event center in our city, there are no existing
guidelines in the city code specifically addressing parking requirements for such a venue.
Drawing on the standards set by neighboring cities and considering the practical needs of our
facility, we propose that the parking requirement for the event center be set at one car per three
seats.
Comparative Research from Neighboring Cities:
Roseville, MN: We reached out to the City of Roseville, and we spoke we Thomas Paschke, - the
City Planner. He confirmed that Roseville requires one parking space per four seats for places of
assembly, such as event centers. He also added that event centers also fall under the usage of
Convention Centers whose parking requirement would be the same is place of assembly. This
standard effectively balances the need for adequate parking while avoiding excessive allocation
of space. Adopting a similar requirement in Arden Hills ensures consistency with regional norms
and supports our venue’s operational needs.
Shoreview, MN: We reached out to the city of Shoreview and this city does not have specific
requirement for an event center, but Izaak Peterson-city planner recommended that an event
center would fall under the Commercial Recreation use. Typically, the city requires one parking
space per three seats for such facilities. This alignment with the proposed ratio further supports
the feasibility and practicality of implementing the same standard in Arden Hills, ensuring our
city’s standards are consistent with neighboring communities.
Oakdale MN: We reached out to the City of Oakdale, Luke McClanahan the city planner said
event centers would fall under the category of Churches, Theaters, Auditoriums, or Other Places
of Assembly and the minimum parking requirements would be one car per four seats. This is
similar to what Arden Hills currently has for this category with the exception of the event center
which is not listed in the city code. The current requirement for this category for Arden Hills is
one car per three people.
Saint Paul, MN: Saint Paul has recently eliminated minimum parking requirements for most
properties, including event centers (City of St Paul Code). This policy shift aims to support
economic development, reduce construction costs, and promote sustainability by encouraging
alternative transportation modes. While this approach is more flexible than our proposal, it
underscores the trend toward less restrictive parking requirements in urban planning. By
adopting a one car per three seats ratio, Arden Hills can strike a balance between flexibility and
practicality, reflecting modern planning principles.
Practical and Environmental Considerations:
Usage Patterns Event centers typically host a variety of events, including conferences,
weddings, and performances, where attendees often carpool. This results in a higher average car
occupancy compared to other facilities like restaurants or recreational centers. A parking ratio of
one car per three seats accurately reflects these usage patterns, ensuring adequate parking
without over-provisioning.
Environmental Benefits: Adopting a parking standard of one car per three seats supports Arden
Hills’ commitment to sustainability. It encourages carpooling and the use of alternative
transportation, which helps reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Additionally, this
approach aligns with urban planning trends that prioritize efficient land use and minimize
6
unnecessary paved surfaces, contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing and environmentally
friendly urban environment.
Community Impact: The proposed parking ratio balances the need for sufficient parking with
the desire to maintain green spaces and a visually appealing urban landscape. By avoiding the
pitfalls of over-parking, such as excessive asphalt areas, we can preserve the city's charm and
promote a healthier, more sustainable community.
In conclusion, setting the parking requirement for event centers at one car per three seats is a
practical and forward-thinking solution that aligns with established practices in neighboring
cities like Roseville, Shoreview, Oakdale, and reflects modern urban planning principles seen in
Saint Paul. This ratio meets the needs of the venue while supporting broader city planning goals
and environmental sustainability. I respectfully request that the city council consider and approve
this proposal, allowing us to proceed with the development of a facility that will bring significant
cultural and economic benefits to Arden Hills.
Security Plan
We have taken specific measures when it comes to security, especially with the serving of
alcohol. The following measures will be implemented to ensure a safe and secure environment:
1. Surveillance System: The venue is equipped with at least 24 security cameras
strategically placed around and inside the building. This comprehensive coverage will
ensure continuous monitoring of all areas, including entrances, exits, and common
spaces.
2. Panic Buttons: Two police panic buttons are installed inside the building. These buttons
provide an immediate alert system to local law enforcement in case of emergencies,
ensuring a swift response to any incidents.
3. Onsite Security Officers: During events, onsite security officers will be present to
manage security operations. These officers will:
o Monitor and control access points to prevent unauthorized entry.
o Ensure that attendees do not take alcohol out to the patio area, which is designated
as the smoking area.
o Respond promptly to any security issues or disturbances, maintaining order and
safety for all attendees.
4. Alcohol Management: Strict protocols will be in place for the serving of alcohol.
Security officers and staff will be trained to monitor and manage alcohol consumption,
preventing overconsumption and ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations.
Noise Control
To address concerns about noise, the following measures will be in place:
1. Indoor Events: All events will be held inside the building, ensuring that noise is
contained within the venue.
2. Building Materials: The event center is constructed with concrete, which is highly
effective in soundproofing and preventing noise from escaping the building. This will
significantly reduce the impact of event noise on the surrounding community.
3. Security Officers: Onsite security officers will ensure that attendees do not congregate
outside the building, which helps to minimize noise in outdoor areas. Security personnel
will actively manage and disperse any groups that form outside, particularly in the
designated smoking area on the patio, to maintain a quiet and orderly environment.
Conclusion
The Elegant Event Center represents a significant investment in the Arden Hills community,
combining social responsibility with entrepreneurial vision. By addressing community needs
through a phased development approach, this project will create a vibrant social hub and support
local businesses. The strategic location, coupled with thoughtful planning around parking,
security, and noise control, ensures that the center will operate smoothly and contribute
positively to the neighborhood. As a symbol of resilience and inclusivity, the Elegant Event
Center is set to enrich the fabric of Arden Hills, fostering economic growth, cultural exchange,
and a higher quality of life for residents. The project's comprehensive benefits and alignment
with modern urban planning principles make it a valuable addition to the community, deserving
full support and approval.
Thank you for your consideration.

Arden Hills City Planning Submittal
Request for Flexibilities
City of Arden Hills,
We respectfully request your approval of Flexibilities to the City’s Zoning code for the
following items:
1. There is an existing freestanding pole sign the applicant would like to reuse. It is
along the west side of the property, between the existing building and the right of
way for Snelling Avenue. We propose to re-face it with a new sign for Elegant Event
Center as shown on the drawings submitted in the Planning Submittal Package.
2. We propose to use thin brick as the Desirable Material. This brick would be actual
clay brick approximately 1/2” to 5/8” thick. Each brick is individually installed with
mortar joints.
3. All the new exterior finishes will conform to City’s appearance requirements and the
average overall percentage breakdown for all elevations between Desirable
Materials and Accent Materials is as follows:
Desirable Materials - 89%
Accent Materials - 11%
The south building elevation has an existing tall parapet wall above an existing
overhang. We are concerned about this parapet wall’s ability to accept too much
additional weight imposed by the new Desirable Materials – i.e. brick masonry, tile
masonry, natural stone, etc.
We would like to request a Flexibility to the percentages of Desirable Materials and
Accent Materials for this elevation only. The percentages for this elevation,
as shown on the in the submittal package, are:
Desirable Materials - 63%
Accent Material - 37%
4. The City’s Design Standards state,
“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.”
We would like to request a Flexibility to this design standard.

facing east toward the public street. It consists of glass windows and glass entry
doors approximately 29’- 9” wide with additional windows on the south wall.
We intend to maintain the main entry to the restaurant, bar and event space as well
as the windows on the south wall. We will clean and refurbish this glass entry or
replace it if needed. These windows and doors allow views of the activities in the
restaurant and bar from the street.
The east wall of the existing event space is constructed of with concrete block with,
what appears to be, covered openings at the top of the wall near the roof line.
The function of the event space requires a certain level privacy and windows
viewing the activity inside would be not conducive to this activity. Also, it would be
difficult to add a significant number of windows into the existing concrete block walls
in order the meet the 50% requirement listed above.
Our intent is to cover all the exterior walls of the event space entirely with the brick
mentioned above using the pattern shown on the exterior elevation included in the
Planning Submittal Package. This would enhance the existing building’s
appearance and better serve the function inside.
5. The project is proposing partial rehabilitation of the existing pavement through mill
and overlay. Due to the limited ability to adjust existing grades with this operation,
new curb and gutter is not being proposed at the parking islands.
A Flexibility is requested to allow this condition in order to maintain the existing
drainage patterns from the site.
6. A Flexibility is requested to allow site lighting in lieu of trees within six of the
proposed landscape beds in order to provide adequate lighting to the site.
7. A flexibility is requested to allow for the installation of new 2.5-3.0 caliper inch trees
in lieu of 4-6.0 caliper inch trees. In our experience, trees with diameters in the
range of 2.5-3.0 caliper inches have an increased chance of surviving the
transplanting process than their larger counterparts.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

RE: PC #24-014 – 3776 Connelly Avenue – City Code Amendment, Master Planned Unit
Development, Final Planned Unit Development, Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit
Dear Rose,
The City has received the land use application and plans submitted for the Elegant Event Center
Development at 3776 Connelly Avenue. Your application for a City Code Amendment, Master Planned
Unit Development, Final Planned Unit Development, Site Plan Review, and Conditional Use Permit was
submitted on May 30, 2024. Under Minnesota Statute, Chapter 15.99, Time Deadline for Agency Action,
cities have 15 business days to review zoning-related applications to ensure that all items on the
application checklist have been provided. We have determined that the following required information is
missing:
1. City Narrative
a. Add statement and details for proposed City Code Amendments. Narrative should address
amendments for adding Event Center as a use permitted by conditional use permit in the
B-2 Zoning District and for allowing an event center to serve alcohol with a caterer that
holds a State liquor license.
Response: Elegant Event Center is proposing amendments to the City Code to enhance our
community's event hosting capabilities. Specifically, we are requesting the following
changes:
Addition of Event Center as a Conditional Use in the B-2 Zoning District:
We propose that the City Code be amended to include "Event Center" as a use permitted by
conditional use permit in the B-2 Zoning District. This amendment will allow us to operate
an event center that can host a variety of functions, such as weddings, corporate events, and
other social gatherings, providing a dedicated space for community engagements and
celebrations.
Authorization for Event Centers to Serve Alcohol with a Licensed Caterer:
We also propose that event centers in the B-2 Zoning District be permitted to serve alcohol
in conjunction with a caterer holding a State liquor license. This flexibility is essential for
meeting the diverse needs of our clients. While we intend to operate a café on the property
that will serve both food and alcohol, there will be occasions where external catering is
necessary to accommodate specific culinary preferences that our café cannot fulfill.
City of Arden Hills ▪1245 West Highway 96 ▪ Arden Hills Minnesota 55112
Phone 651.792.7800 ▪ Fax 651.634.5137 ▪ www.cityofardenhills.org
Justification for the Proposed Amendments
The addition of an event center as a conditional use in the B-2 Zoning District aligns with
the district's purpose of accommodating commercial activities that serve the local
community. Event centers are becoming increasingly popular as venues for various social
and corporate events, and having a dedicated facility will enhance the city's attractiveness as
a destination for such gatherings.
Furthermore, allowing event centers to serve alcohol with a licensed caterer is crucial for the
flexibility and inclusivity of our services. For example, if we host a wedding where the
clients desire a specific type of cuisine, such as Indian food, and our café is unable to
provide it, the clients should have the option to bring in a licensed vendor who can meet
their needs.
These proposed amendments will not only support the growth and diversification of our
local economy but also meet the evolving needs of our community. By allowing event
centers in the B-2 Zoning District and enabling them to serve alcohol with licensed caterers,
we can provide a versatile and inclusive venue for all types of events, enhancing the overall
attractiveness and functionality of our city. We respectfully request that the council consider
and approve these amendments to the City Code.
b. Identify if the Event Center capacity of 464 attendees includes staff and café patrons or if
there would be additional individuals on-site during events.
Response: The fire marshal determined that the Event Hall can accommodate 464 people.
This number would include Event Staff. The café seats 34 people with 5 staff. The Adult
Day Care has 20 occupants with 4 staff.
The Adult Daycare and the Café will not be open during an event in the Event Center.
Therefore, our maximum occupancy will be 464 occupants at any one time.
c. Specify if the café will be open to non-event attendees while the event space is in use.
Response: The café will not be open to non-event attendees while the event space is in use.
However, the kitchen will be open during events for event food and drinks.
d. Specify if events such as conferences or performances would be held in the space during
the Adult Day Program hours of operations.
Response: Since the space is shared, it can only be used for either events or adult day care at
any given time, not both simultaneously.

Phone 651.792.7800 ▪ Fax 651.634.5137 ▪ www.cityofardenhills.org
e. Provide documentation of executed parking agreements with neighboring businesses,
including agreement language and the number of spaces that are part of the agreement.
Response: We do not believe we need additional parking. However, in the event that we
need additional parking, we are in communication with Presbyterian church of the way. The
pastor has assured us of 55 parking spaces, but the parking agreement has to be executed by
the Church Session which does not meet until June 20th.
2. Request for Flexibilities
a. In the Elegant Event Center City Narrative, it is suggested that the formula for event
center parking requirements is 1 space for every 3 seats. This narrative also states that the
development is designed to accommodate up to 464 seats, which at 1 space for every 3
seats, would require 155 parking spaces. The narrative states that 145 spaces will be
available on-site. The Request for Flexibilities should address this proposed flexibility.
Response: According to the fire marshal, the event space has a capacity of 464 people.
Based on our formula/proposal of 1 car per 3 seats, it would require 155 parking spaces.
Since we have 145 parking spaces, we are requesting flexibility for 10 additional parking
spaces. We believe 145 parking spaces will be sufficient because we do not anticipate a time
when all 464 people would be on the property simultaneously. Most events occur on
weekends or after hours when the café and daycare services are closed except for the
kitchen, leaving us with enough parking for events.
b. Address Site Furnishings and Seating Areas requirements for benches and decorative
plantings and functional outdoor seating area for restaurants.
Response: We do not have any plans for having an outdoor seating area, the porch area on
the east side of the building is a designated smoke area and would not be used for outside
seating for café.
3. Site Plan
a. Site Plan to provide a summary tabulation of minimum B-2 District Requirements and
proposed project/site data (i.e. Lot Coverage by Structure, Minimum Landscape Area,
Floor Area Ratio, Impervious Surface Area, Setbacks, Parking, etc.) to aid in evaluating
compliance with zoning requirements.
Response: B-2 District requirements and proposed site data has been added to sheet C3.
b. Identification of snow storage area(s). (Note: Separate site plan or explanation of snow
storage in narrative.)
Response: Snow storage locations are shown on sheet C-B. Snow in excess of what can be
stored in these locations will be hauled offsite.

Phone 651.792.7800 ▪ Fax 651.634.5137 ▪ www.cityofardenhills.org
c. Confirm if the proposed development will utilize the existing Utilities Plan. If not,
provide Utilities Plan details.
Response: Existing utilities will be utilized for the reconstruction. See sheet C3.
4. Elevation Plans/Architectural Plans
a. Provide height for the building elevations.
Response: The building elevation heights have been added to each elevation – see
Architectural Sheets A5.0 & A5.1.
b. Include details of trash enclosure on elevation drawings. Tabulation of materials to be
provided.
Response: This information has been added to Architectural Drawings A5.1, Details 7,
8, 9, 10 & 11.
c. Include details for screening of exterior ground or roof-mounted mechanical devices, such
as vents, exhaust fans, generators, and air conditioners.
Response: All mechanical devices, noted above, are existing and are located on the
ground along the west side of the building. There are no mechanical devices located on
the roofs and no additional equipment will be added to the roofs or on the site.
Response: All ground mounted mechanical equipment will be screened from view by new
landscaping. Mechanical equipment will not be visible from the right of way on the
western side of Snelling Ave. This is shown on the Planting Plan L1.
d. Provide details for proposed delivery areas.
Response: Deliveries to the building will be received through the service door on the north
side of the building. This area is shown on the Architectural Drawing A2.0 & A2.1.
5. Traffic Study
Response: A Traffic Study was done by SEH Engineering and submitted to the Planning
Department for review. It is included in the Planning Submittal Package for distribution to the
Planning Commission and City Council.
6. Circulation Plan
a. Identification of internal sidewalk connections.
Response: Pedestrian circulation has been added as depicted on Sheet C-C.

Phone 651.792.7800 ▪ Fax 651.634.5137 ▪ www.cityofardenhills.org
b. Identification of bicycle parking.
Response: Bicycle racks (7 Spaces) are proposed north of the primary entrance within the
fenced area as shown on Sheet C3.
7. Truck Turning Movements Plan
a. Illustration of emergency services vehicles and refuse collection circulation. (Note:
turning radius information provided as an attachment)
Response: Emergency service and refuse truck turning movements have been
added as Sheet C-A.
8. Signage
a. The Request for Flexibilities identifies flexibility to be requested as part of a sign standard
adjustment through the PUD process for deviation from Sign District 7, General Sign
Regulations. The Request for Flexibilities should provide Applicant statements that
address the Sign Standard Adjustment criteria (i.e. Subd. 1-3) as outlined in City Code
Section 1260.01. In order to approve any sign standard adjustment, the following criteria
of Subd. 1 or Subd. 2 shall be satisfied, and the necessary criteria of Subd. 3 shall be
satisfied:
• Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to
be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site;
• Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that
will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the
site;
• Subd. 3 The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the
purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use.
b. Identify if the wall or freestanding signage will be illuminated and if so, by what mode of
illumination.
Response:
a. The existing freestanding pole sign will be reused in its existing location. It consists of
a two-sided Cabinet Sign mounted on a pole. It is internally lit with letters on
translucid faces. Detail 4/A5.1 has been updated to show the height & area of the
overall sign compared to the City’s height & area requirements.
b. There are two newly proposed illuminated wall signs shown - See Sheet A5.0 and
Details #5, and 6 on A5.1 for more information.
We are proposing (2) new illuminated wall signs on the new Entry Portal. One is on
the east face of the Entry Portal above the portal opening. This sign Reads,
“ELEGANT EVENT CENTER” and is flanked by (2) Star Symbols. The other sign is
on the south face of the Entry Portal above the portal opening. This sign consists of (1)
Star Symbol.
These signs will be Reverse Channel construction with individual letters and stars

Phone 651.792.7800 ▪ Fax 651.634.5137 ▪ www.cityofardenhills.org
symbols. The face and sides of each letter and star will be solid and opaque. They will
be halo lit by using internal lighting which is emitted from the back of each letter and
star symbol. Each letter and star symbol are mounted away from the wall surface
behind them. This allows the lighting to hit the building material on the wall surface
behind the sign creating the halo effect.
9. Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan
a. Provide tabulation and/or percentage of landscape requirements for entire site including
landscape lot area, perennials and/or shrubbery, caliper inches, and boulevard trees to aid
in application review for compliance with B-2 Zoning District minimum requirements.
Response: Percentages of total landscape area and plant coverage added to L1 sheets.
b. Tabulation of size and species of all replacement trees proposed to be removed and
planted on the property in accordance with the tree replacement schedule and mitigation
requirements according to Section 1325.055 Tree and Landscaping Preservation.
Response: Additional tables provided by the survey added to the L1 sheets along with a
table of caliper mitigation measures.
Your application will not be processed and the time period under Minn. Stat. § 15.99 will not begin until all
of the above required information is received by the City. Items 1-9 need to be submitted to the City no
later than 4 PM on Wednesday, June 12th, in order to be considered for review during the July meeting cycle.
If you have any questions regarding the 15.99 review letter, please contact me at (651) 792-7843 or by emailat

1320.085 Special Requirements for the B-2 General Business District. The B-2 General Business District encompasses a primary gateway into the City. The aesthetic and transportation impacts from new developments and redevelopments must be evaluated to help ensure the long-term viability and success of the B-2 District. Accomplishing the purpose of the B 2 District requires particular concern for the design of buildings, site features (such as landscaping, lighting, and signage), site layout, building materials, site design, and other related design elements. To that end, new development and redevelopment shall conform to the standards in this and related zoning requirements. The "Guiding Plan for the B2 District" shall act as a guide for development but is not part of the Zoning Code. In reviewing and approving land use applications, the City Council shall make the final determination on the compatibility and consistency with all provisions in this and related sections of the Zoning Ordinance. (revised 12/3/08) Subd. 1 Procedure. To further accomplish the stated purpose of the B2 District, the following procedures shall be used: A. Proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to existing sites shall use the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. The PUD proposal shall identify any requested modifications from the applicable zoning requirements and from the "Guiding Plan for the B2 District" as well as the reasons why the modifications would be in the public interest and would be consistent with the purpose of the B-2 District. Modifications to these requirements may be granted by the City without a variance through the PUD process. Conditional use permits may also be required for uses list in Section 1320.05. B. Conditional Use Permits, Site Plans, and other development agreements that were approved for development sites before November 24, 2008, shall remain in effect but shall use the Planned Unit Development Process for future site amendments. C. The following items shall not be considered significant modifications to an existing site and shall be exempt from the PUD process but shall be subject to administrative review and approval: 1. Internal alterations to buildings that do not result in a change to the building height, roof line, or footprint unless the changes will have a notable increase in traffic and/or parking needs as determined by the Community Development Director or their designee; 2. Replacement, maintenance, or repair of existing materials, including exterior finishes, signage, landscaping, and parking lots; 3. Minor modifications to the exterior of a building or a site that substantially conforms to the design standards in Section 1325 and has no discernable impact on traffic as determined by the Community Development Director or their designee;
D. The provisions in this Section may be modified by the City Council to allow planning flexibility without the need for a variance to encourage cooperative dialogue between the applicant and the City. Minor improvements to existing uses should be encouraged without costly upgrades or complete changes to a site. Subd. 2 Uses. A. Permitted uses (as specified in the Land Use Chart, Section 1320.05, for the B-2 District) that occupy existing buildings do not require a conditional use permit prior to occupancy. Other city permits may be required. B. Conditional uses (as specified in the Land Use Chart, Section 1320.05, for the B-2 District) require an approved conditional use permit prior to occupancy. Other city permits may be required. C. The following land uses are not compatible with the stated purpose of the B-2 District and shall be prohibited: 1. Individual retail businesses larger than 50,000 square feet except for Sports and Fitness Clubs. 2.
