Absent: Commissioner Ken Bezdicek. . Also present were Mayor Beverly Aplikowski, Councilmember David Grant, City Planner James Lehnhoff, and Recording Secretary Kathleen Altman. A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2006. Commissioner Zimmerman requested the following changes: Page 2, third paragraph from the bottom, change Commissioner Zimmemlan to Commissioner Larson stated he believed for the future. . . Commissioner Zimmerman moved, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to approve the September 6, 2006 minutes as amended. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). PUBLIC HEARINGS A. PLANNING CASE #06-030 - VARIANCE, BRAD AND SARAH LIS; 1546 ARDEN PLACE Mr. Lehnhoff stated the applicants were requesting two variances. The first request is to . pemlit the property to have two access points to the public street, Arden Place. The ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 2 . second request is to pemlit the property to have a crushed rock driveway instead of a . driveway with an improved surface. He indicated notice was sent to properties within 350 feet of the subject property and staff had received no letters or telephone calls from property owners or occupants in regard to this planning case. He stated while the variance requests were unlikely to have a negative impact on the immediate neighborhood, staff has been unable to identify a certifiable hardship for either variance request. A single access, improved driveway would be similar in character to most other properties in the neighborhood and most other properties in the City. Although the variance requests are unlikely to harm the neighborhood or set legal precedence, it may set a trend for further requests of the same nature. He indicated the Zoning Ordinance requires a paved surface for driveways. While a crushed rock driveway is not a paved surface, it is conceivable that a crushed rock driveway could be considered an "improved surface", though it should not be classified as a completely pervious surface. If the Planning Commission detemlines that a crushed rock surface is within the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, staff would recommend amending the Ordinance to include crushed rock as an approved surface for a driveway since it is difficult to find any discemable hardship to approve this particular variance request. Although each variance request is considered unique, approving this variance application for a crushed rock surface driveway is likely to lead to similar . applications in the future. Should the Planning Commission wish to pemlit the crushed rock surface, staff would then recommend tabling or denying this variance application for the crushed rock surface drivcway and directing staff to prepare language to amend the Zoning Ordinance. If the variance application is denied and an Ordinance amendment to permit a crushed rock surface is not passed, the applicant would need to install a driveway with a paved surface. Tabling the variance application would provide the applicant with the opportunity to pursue the variance further if the Zoning Ordinance is not amended to pennit a crushed rock surface driveway. Since the construction season is quickly coming to an end, it is unlikely that a paved surface driveway would be installed yet this year. If the Planning Commission directs staff to prepare language for an Ordinance amendment, it might be prudent to still send this planning case to the City Council to help determine the viability of such an amendment. Finally, should the Planning Commission vote to approve either of the variance requests, findings supporting the variance request should be cited. He indicated he had received an email from Mr. Lis dated October 3,2006 pointing out a couple of details that he believed were not factual with regard to staff's report. Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. . - . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 3 . Brad Lis, 1548 Arden Place West, stated his main hardship was that the site had three big oak trees sitting in the middle where the driveway would be. He stated they wanted to preserve the trees and make two 15- foot openings instead of one 30- foot opening. He believed his driveway would fit into the character of the neighborhood. He stated they consider the crushed rock an improved finish and it did say crushed rock in the plans they submitted. He noted the crushed rock matched the house also. He stated the crushed rock they put in was tightly compacted and does not move. He recommended the City amend the Ordinance to approve gravel as an approved surface. Commissioner Modesette asked if the original driveway was on the same site with the old house. Mr. Lis responded the driveway was on the other side. Commissioner Modcsette asked why they did not extend the width of the driveway to the street to the west. Mr. Lis responded there were trees on that side also. Commissioner Modesette noted they could turn around without having the "wing" out into the road. Mr. Lis responded they had considered that, but the symmetry was one of the things they liked about it; it flowed nicely. Commissioner Larson asked if one tree had been removed. Mr. Lis responded the City cut one oak down as part of the street reconstruction, which they were not happy about. . Commissioner Sand asked if the curb cuts were being put in where the westerly driveway was located. Mr. Lis responded they had not been put in yet. Chair Sand asked when the home was completed. Mr. Lis responded it was completed in the fall of 2003. He stated they did the entire driveway at the same time and at the time, they did not know they could not have two curb cuts. He stated they did not "sneak" in the second driveway. Commissioner Larson asked when they moved in, was all of the grading done. Mr. Lis responded everything was done, except the sod had not been put in. Commissioner Zimmerman asked in the plans that were submitted to the City, was it a single or dual access driveway. Mr. Lis responded a single assess driveway was shown. Commissioner Larson asked if the crushed rock was on the plans as submitted. Mr. Lis responded it was. Chair Sand invited anyone for or against the request to come forward and make comment. Bill Thornton, 3510 Siems Court, stated he supported these variances. He noted the neighborhood was not a "cookie cutter" or new development and it was an eclectic . neighborhood. He indicated the housing types, lot shapes, etc. were all different. He ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 4 . noted right across from this gravel driveway was another gravel driveway, which had . been there for many years. He stated there were also other circular driveways with two accesses in the neighborhood. He stated there were also people who had turn arounds, as well as driveways that were three cars wide. He noted there was no conformity in that neighborhood now because it was not that kind of neighborhood and they did not want it to be that kind of a neighborhood. He believed the crushed stone and the dual access driveway fit into the neighborhood. He stated with respect to the hardship issue, they were undergoing major, major construction - they had lost a lot of trees - and the hardship was for the entire neighborhood. He stated if applicant could not have a decent size driveway he was concerned that the two trees would need to be cut down. He noted the two trees could also represent a rain garden for the City. He stated the neighborhood did not want to see those trees go and they would prefer to see a rain garden in this area. He believed the City needed to live by some of the uniqueness of the neighborhoods. He asked the City to approve both variances. Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. Commissioner Larson asked Building Official Scherbel for the timeline. Mr. Scherbel reviewed the memorandum submitted. He noted there were still some building related issues that remained on this home. He indicated thc pernlit was for a single access driveway and staff was unsure of the time table for when the current driveway configuration was installed. Commissioner Modesette asked when the trap rock was put in. Mr. Lis responded it was . installed on September 4 and 5, 2003. Mr. Scherbel stated the last time the City was out there, the grading was not completed and a final inspection had not been completed. He noted the City had required other residents to change their dual access and to put in an impervious surface. Mr. Lis stated the crushed rock was on the building plans. He stated he had submitted the plans to the City. He indicated he did not know there were things still outstanding and none of the things were on the last inspection notice he received. Mr. Scherbel statcd he had personally contacted Mr. Lis two or three times to close out the inspection. Mr. Lis responded he did not remember receiving any messages from the Building Official. Chair Sand stated they had to look at if there was a hardship, what the plan said, and what the Zoning Ordinance required. Mr. Lis stated nobody told him the driveway had to be paved. Chair Sand stated there was no dispute that the plan he submitted did not show a two driveway access. Mr. Lis responded there was no dispute regarding that; his dispute was the requirement for a paved surface. . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4,2006 5 Chair Sand stated he realized there were other properties in the City that had crushed rock . driveways and those properties were probably grandfathered in. Mr. Lis stated he understood that issue, but he believcd he had a hardship. Chair Sand statcd he was having a difficult time finding a hardship because it was not on the plan and there were alternative ways to improve the driveway, such as expanding the section without having access to the street to allow a turnaround. Mr. Lis stated the reason they put in a crushed rock surface was to save the trees. Chair Sand stated he believed they could take down the smaller pine tree to the right and not take down the oak trees. Mr. Lis stated he did not want to take down any trees. He noted the neighborhood had signed a petition against his home before it was built bccause of the trees having to be taken down. Hc stated the neighborhood did not want to sce any more trees taken down. Commissioner Thompson asked if the trees were on the City right-of-way. Mr. Lehnhoff responded they were very close. Commissioner Thompson stated from a hardship prospective that the length of the driveway for backing out was typical and this was not a busy street. She stated she had concerns allowing this when the Ordinance did not allow it. She stated the two entrances were not on the original plan. She stated she was not in favor of the two entrances. With . respect to the crushed rock, she did not think it was a bad idea to look at these types of options, but she did not know enough about the pros and cons of this to comment any further. Commissioner McClung stated they had previously determined in another case that the loss of trees was not considered a hardship and that would be the only way he could potentially find a hardship with the dual driveway. He stated he could not find a legitimate hardship with regard to the two driveway entrances. He stated with respect to the crushed rock, that might be something the City could look at, but the Ordinance required a paved surface and he would be voting against these variances. Mr. Lis stated the City Council passed the Ordinance in 2000. He asked why the Council passed this Ordinance. Commissioner McClung responded he could not say why the City required that. Commissioner Larson responded non-surfaced parking areas tended to disintegrate more than paved surfaces and this was required for maintenance purposes. He noted non- surfaced parking areas also eroded into the street. Commissioner Modesette noted other developments have also been required to meet the current Zoning Ordinances. . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 6 Mr. Lis requested the Commission table the variance regarding the crushed rock so the . City could look at an Ordinance amendment. Mr. Lehnhoff stated the Commission had the option to table. He recommended the tabling decision be passed onto the City Council for a decision. Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner McClung in Planning Case 06-030 to recommend denial of the request for the two accesses to the property based on the lack of evidence showing hardship to the property if only one access is provided. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman in Planning Case 60-030 variance for surfacing of the driveway to recommend denial based on the failure to comply with the Zoning Ordinance and the failure to show a non-surfaced driveway is a hardship. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). B. PLANNING CASE 06-028: SITE PLAN REVIEW, HIEN HGO AND NGUYET KY~ 3433 LAKE JOHANNA BOULEVARD Mr. Lehnhoff stated applicant has volunteered to have their landscaping plan for 3433 Lake Johanna Boulevard reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council due to . a clear-cutting violation of the Shoreland Ordinance. Staff recommended approval of the Site Plan Review based on the submitted plans and eleven findings of fact and subject to the following conditions: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted within one year from the date of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Plmming Commission. 2. The applicant shall obtain and submit a copy to the City all necessary permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District before a building permit is issued. 3. The applicant shall submit a final surety in the anlOunt of 125 percent of the estimated cost of the landscaping prior to beginning the landscaping m1d prior to receiving any building permits. The surety shall include the landscaping for the entire property, including the shoreline. The financial surety shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney. 4. Upon completion of the landscaping and prior to releasing the financial surety, the City Planner shall inspect the landscaping to ensure that it is in compliance with the approved plans. 5. Any vegetation within the landscaping plan that are deemed dead or dying by the City Planner or City Forester shall be replaced within three months or by the beginning of the next planting season, if it is deemed by the City Planner or City Forester that it was too late in the season to replace the dead or dying plants. . . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 7 6. Best management practices shall be used to maintain erOSIOn control until . constmction and landscaping are finished. Changes to the erosion control measures shall be subject to approval by the City Engineer. 7. The shoreline restoration plan shall be subject to the Planning Commission and City Council approval. 8. The three proposed trees shall be replaced with a shorter species and/or shall be moved to a safe distance from the power lines along the western edge of the property. 9. The City shall prepare a development agreement that is signed by the property owners agreeing to the conditions of the site plan review and the agreement shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney. Mr. Lehnhoff noted he had received a letter from Richard Gonzalez, the property owner immediately north of this property, outlining his concerns with the proposed site plan. Commissioner Larson asked what the duration was of the financial security. Mr. Lehnhoff responded the financial security could be released after one year after the project was completed. Commissioner Larson suggested reducing the financial security for two or three years once they knew the landscaping was not dying. Commissioner Larson suggested they not put large plantings on the north property line where there was an casement in the event the City had to do maintenance or repair on the . pipe. He recommended the plantings be moved off of the easement. Commissioner Larson recommended the western trees be moved to the east so they could establish themselves on the property and be trimmed if it encroached on the other property. Bob Moser, 1000 County Road E, Shoreview, representing applicant, stated as far as the Shoreland Restoration the Rice Creek Watershed recommended a large group of plants that would work as an infiltration barrier rather than large trees. He noted the Rice Creek Watershed District did not want large trees, but rather small planting. He stated the Watershed had given him a list of recommended plantings. With respect to the north side trees, the casement line was even with the northern most portion of the garage, so if they were moved, it should shift anything to the south, which would have a significant impact for the screening of the home from Lake Johanna Boulevard. In addition, the pipe was a new pipe and was unlikely that it would have to be changed. He stated as opposed to replacing the pipe, it could be lined and would not have to be dug up. He stated a nicer landscaping could be done if they were not required to stay out of the easement area. Chair Sand asked what the Rice Creek Watershed's position was on adding rip-rap to prevent erosion. Mr. Moser responded he had not checked into that, but he believed the DNR would have some say in this also. . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 8 , Mr. Lehnhoff responded the DNR strongly discouraged the use of rip-rap. He noted the . DNR would rather see plantings in most situations. Chair Sand asked if there would be a dock to this property. Hien Ngo, the applicant, 6 West Pleasant Lake Road, North Oaks, responded he did plan on putting in a dock at some point, but not probably for a year or two after the home was completed. Commissioner Thompson asked ifhe would have steps from Lake Johanna Boulevard to the lake as well. Mr. Ngo responded that had not been decided yet. Commissioner Larson noted the proposed home was not in place, so moving the trees away from the northern edge he did not believe would be a large impact. Commissioner McClung stated he would like the City Engineer look at this also because there where times when a pipe could not simply be lined. Chair Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Larson to table the Site Plan Review, Rien Ngo & Nguyet Ky, 3433 Lake Johmma Boulevard, subject to changes as discussed. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). B. PLANNING CASE 06-029: FINAL PLAT. ROYAL OAKS REALTY. 1440-1450 WEST HIGHWAY 96 . City Planner Lehnhoff presented the final plat for Arden Hills Office Park, formerly City Hall/Public Works Facility to the Planning Commission. He indicated the Final Plat was in conformance with the requirements of the PUD and Preliminary Plat Approval and with the requirements of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Therefore, in Planning Case 06-029, staff recommends approval of the Final Plat subject to the following six conditions: 1. The applicant shall continue to be subject to all of the conditions for the PUD as approved in Planning Case 06-023. 2. The developer shall file the Final Plat with the Ramsey County Recorder and provide the City with a recorded copy within sixty days of approval. 3. The applicant shall pay a park dedication fee of $40,000 as required in the purchase agreement. 4. The developer shall enter into a Development Agreement within the City, which must be executed prior to the release of the Final Plat and be subject to review by the City Attorney. 5. Signing of the Final Plat shall be subject to approval of the bylaws by the City Attorney. 6. The applicant shall submit the approved permit(s) from the Rice Creek Watershed District prior to filing the Final Plat. . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 9 Commissioner Zimmerman asked if the $40,000 park dedication fee was in addition to . the purchase price. Mr. Lehnhoff responded it was. Commissioner Zimmennan asked if the daycare center had been notified about the change in the left turn. Mr. Lehnhoff responded they had been sent the public notices. Commissioner Zimmerman stated he believed it would be good business to inform the daycare center personally of this change. Commissioner Larson stated something needed to be done to enforce the "No Turn on Red" sign on Highway 96 and Hamlinc Avenue. He stated if it was not going to be enforced, it should be taken down. Commissioner Zimmerman moved, seconded by Commissioner Thompson, to approve Planning Case No. 06-029, Final Plat, Royal Oaks Realty, 1440-1450 West Highway 96 subject to the six conditions as noted in staffs September 20,2006, report. The motion catTied (5-1) (Commissioner McClung opposed). UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Work Session for the Zoning Ordinance Re-Codification and Minor Updating process . Mr. Lehnhoff recommended a work session to discuss the Zoning Ordinance Re- Codification. He asked if there were any Plmming Commissioners who would be willing to attend the work session. He stated he would send an e-mail regarding the date to the Commission. B. Discussion Blue Cross Blue Shield Grant to the City Mr. Lehnhoff updated the Planning Commission on the Blue Cross Blue Shield Grant to the City. He stated there were some work session seats available if any of the Planning Commissioners wanted to attend. Commissioner McClung stated Ms. Barton had handed out a memorandum at the PTRC meeting regarding this grant. He requested the Planning Commission also receive a copy of that memorandum. REPORTS A. Report from City Council Council Member Grant updated the Commission on recent City Council actions. . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -OCTOBER 4, 2006 10 ADJOURNMENT .

Back2;round 1. Overview of Request The applicant has proposed to constmct a 392 square foot addition to the existing attached garage at 1548 Briarknoll Drive. The addition would add a third stall to the two stall garage; however, the addition would encroach five feet in the northern side yard setback. The nOffi1al side yard setback for this side of the property would be ten feet. The applicant has submitted a statement explaining the reasons for the requcst (Attachment 3A-I ).

The total required side yard setback for the principal structure is twenty-five feet between the two sides, with a minimum of a ten foot side setback on one side. Without the proposed addition, both setbacks exceed the minimum requirement with the current southern side setback at approximately eighteen feet and the northern side setback at nineteen feet. If the variance is approved, the northern side setback would be reduced to five feet. which would leave a total of twenty-three feet between the two side setbacks. The proposed garage addition would not encroach on the front or rear setbacks. [,ot Coverage Although the applicant's site plan indicates a lot size of 17,029.9 square feet. the Ramsey County property database lists the lot size at 16,553 square feet. For the purposes of lot coverage calculations, the Ramsey County lot size number will be used.

The lot coverage limit for the structure is 25 percent and the total impervious coverage limit for the lot is 35 percent. lfthe variance is approved, the pennitted lot coverage would not be exceeded. 2. Accessory Structures The applicants are pennitted to construct up to two accessory structures or 728 square feet each in the rear yard area without a variance. However, according to the applicants, constructing an accessory structure in the rear yard would require considerable grading and create drainage problems in the rear yard. The site plan that was submitted by the applicant indicates that a potential location for an accessory structure would either block or inhibit drainage from the rear of the property toward the street. The rear portion of the property does drain to\vard the front ofthe property and there is relatively little flat area behind the dwelling to construct an accessory structure without removing a portion of the hillside.

POl/eher Vllriance.doc Page 3 of 7 3. Variance Evaluation Criteria The criteria listed below must be used to evaluate the variance request. Staff has provided . suggested findings of fact in the following section. A. State Criteria: Minnesota State Statue in Chapter 462.357, Subdivision 6, (2), defines "undue hardship" as: "...means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use !lused under conditions allmved by the official controls, tile plight oj tile lmzdo.i'ner is due to circumstance unique to tile proper(v not created b:v the landowner. and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential cllaracter oj the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonahle use of the property exists under the terms (~lthe ordinance... .'.' B. Local Criteria: Section 8.DA.c o[the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance states: Adherence to this provisions (~l this /zoningl ordinance is required except for !!;pecial cases, which arise because the configuration oj a particular parcel. The condition shall not lIave been created by the lant/mi'ner. A variance or variances . nUl}' be granted from specific provisions oj tllis ordinance because such land factors as lengtll of a side of a lot, the sllape of tile lot or the unusual terrain prohibit reasonable development equivalent to that which Ivould be permitted It'ithout variance on a similar size lot located in the same district, but }t,'hich lot lias no unusual configuration. Economic conditions alone shall not be grounds Jor a variance. C. Additional Review Criteria: Although State Statutes include guidelines for evaluating vanances, the interpretation and meaning of those Statutes have been impacted by various court decisions. A somewhat common, though apparently incorrect, interpretation of the written Statutes is that a property owner must show that they do not have reasonable use of their proper(v without an approved variance. The difficulty with this standard is what counts as "reasonable use" of the property? Since most properties eould be construed to have "reasonable use" without a variance, this standard was declared virtually insurmountable by the Court of Appeals. City (dArden Hills Planning Commissio/l Meeting.f(,r November I, :!OO6 . ii:\!etro-illct.us!ordcllhill.I"f'lollnillgIPlnnning Cnse.n2006i06-032I'oueher J'oriollce (f'ENO/NG)i/O/806 - PC [(epurI - Poucher J'ariallce.duc I)age 4 of 7 A revised interpretation of the "reasonable use" evaluation criteria has emerged from the Minnesota Court of Appeals. According to the City Attorney, a property . owner does not need to show that reasonable use for a property only exists with an approved variance. Instead, the landowner must only dcmonstrate that the proposed variation is reasonable for a particular property in a given zone. For example, the property owner must only demonstrate that an addition that encroaches into a particular setback is reasonable as opposed to showing that the property would only have reasonable use with the addition. While this is a much softer interpretation of reasonable use, the applicant must still address the following three questions: 1. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstance unique to the property not created by the landowner; 2. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and, 3. The variance cannot be based on economic considerations alone. All four variance criteria must be met to approve a variance. D. Variances as Precedent: From a legal standpoint, granting a variance generally does not create a precedent for approving similar future variances. In most circumstances, each variance request and the subsequent approval or denial is considered a separate and unique . situation. Findinc;s of Fact StaiT offers the following seven findings of fact: 1. The proposed garage addition would encroach five feet into the northern side yard setback, where at least ten feet would nomlally be required. The proposed garage addition would not cause the property to exceed any impervious coverage limits or encroach on any other setbacks in the R-I Zone. 2. The intent of the side setback requirements is to provide sufficient open space bet\veen dwellings. Cunently, there is approximately thirty-five feet between the dwelling to the north and the subject dwelling. If the variance is approved, the distance between the two structures will decrease to twenty-one feet. Dwellings in the R-l Zone are generally required to be bet\veen twenty and twenty-five fect apm1. 3. While there is likely reasonable use of the property without the variance, the proposed garage expansion is a reasonable use 011 a residential property. 4. The circumstances related to the property arc somewhat unique and outside of the control of the property owner. The change in topography in the rear yard may Otl' o.fArden I fills .

Although most dwellings in the neighborhood have an attached two car garage, it is unlikely that the additional third stall would alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 6. The proposed garage addition is not based on economic considerations alone. Staff Analvsis In Staffs opinion, there is reasonable use of the property with the existing t\\<o car garage; however, the proposed addition may also be considered reasonable request for a property In the R-l Zone under modern residential expectations. Since there are a handful of other three car garages in the neighborhood and since there would still be approximately twenty-one feet between the two dwellings, the addition is also unlikely to detract from the essential character of the neighborhood. The remaining variance criteria, however, asks if the hardship is self-created. As is often the case, the answer to this part of the variance evaluation criteria is not entirely clear. The dwelling was constructed in such a way that adding a full third stall to the garage is not possible without a variance, which is, in a sense, a self-created hardship (even if due to the actions of a previous property owner). If the Planning Commission detcnnines that the hardship is indeed self-created, then the variance could be recommended for denial. While some grading would certainly need to occur, an accessory structure could conceivably be constructed in the rear yard, and the existing driveway could be extended around the side of the existing garage to . connect to a new accessory structure in the rear yard. Or, the proposed addition could be pushed back until there is at least ten feet between the closest part of the addition and the property line. While the addition would not be in line with the rest of the structure, which may create an odd appearance for the dwelling, a variance would not be required. However, if the Planning Commission agrees with the applicant that it would be a hardship to construct an accessory structure in the rear yard due to topographic limitations and granting the variance would be a reasonable use in the R-l Zone, the variance could be recommended for approval. A recommendation for approval could be done on the basis that the request is a reasonable use on the property as compared to the average property in the R-l Zone and topographical constraints inhibit construction in the rear portion of the property. If the Planning Commission recommends approval on this variance proposal, Staff recommends the following three conditions: 1. The northern property line shall be located by a certified land surveyor or the corner property pins shall be located to show the location of the northem property line prior to issuing any building permits. 2. The addition shall not be any closer than five feet to the north em property line.

A variance is a legally permitted deviation from the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as deemed necessary by the Planning Commission and City Council when the strict interpretation of the Ordinance would create undue hardship or restrict reasonable use. To determine if a hardship exists, the City must find that the strict interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance is impractical because of circumstances related to lot size, shape, topography or other unique characteristics of the property. However, it must be determined that the variance will still be within the spirit of the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance and the character of the neighborhood. CITY REVIEW PROCEDURE: 1. Applicant reviews proposal with City Planner before plans are finalized. 2. Applicant submits application and supporting documents to the City. 3. Planner prepares written review of application for Planning Commission and City Council (City Attorney, Engineer, Building Inspector and Fire Marshal may also prepare reviews depending upon issues involved in application). 4. Planning Commission reviews proposal and makes recommendation to City Council. 5. City Council reviews application and takes action. \,):, :..,.,.\...~ ::'.,", ~:'. ..~ ....(.,-e.';.~ ... ,~~:":~ , ,.... ~ ", 6.

Background. 1. Overview of Request The applicant is requesting a Master Plan pun (sth) Amendment and Site Plan Review to construct a 2,250 square foot addition to Building N, which is located in the northwestern portion of the Boston Scientific campus. The building was purchased just before the Master Plan was approved in 2002, and the Master Plan does not rcflect the proposcd addition in this application, which is the reason for the PUD Amendmcnt. The City Council did approve a 10,225 square foot addition to the western side of Building N on August 28, 2006 (PC 06-024). However, Boston Scientific has decided to nol pursue that addition in favor of the smaller.addition proposed in this application. Approximately 5,300 square feet of space inside of Building N will also be remodeled, which does not require Planning Commission review.

Boston Scientific Master Plan . The Master Plan, which was approved in 2002, proposed to construct 419,500 square feet of building space in Phase 1, which \vas tentatively scheduled to last from the winter of 2003 to the spring of 2006. Due to the recent change in ownership and other market conditions, portions of Phase I have been delayed. Phase 1 originally included two new buildings (L and K) and an addition to building L Building L and the addition to building I, which added a combined 166,000 square feet ofbui]ding area, have been conslructed. Plans for building K have not yet been submitted. At the end of Phase I, the Master Plan requires a traffic study to be completed. The building J addition (90,000 square feet) was moved from Phase 2 to Phase 1 in 2004; however, construction for that building has not yet started. The first addition to building N \vas also added to Phase lin 2003 and added 38,000 square reet to the Campus. Since the Master Plan was approved in 2002, the City has approved 294.000 square feet of new space for the Campus of which 204,000 square feet have been constructed. As noted ahove, Phase 1 originally proposed 419.500 square feet of new space.

Zoning - A/eels Requirement The Boston Scientific Campus is located in an I-I: Limited Industrial Zoning District and has a Master Plan PUD Overlay which is the governing document for the Campus. The proposed addition meets the requirements of the underlying Zone. The proposed addition would be sixty feet from the edge of the property, which is the requirement in the Campus .Master Plan. The building will be approximately thirty-one feet tall, which is higher than the existing . building but less than the 35 foot height limit in the 1- I Zone. The existing building ranges twenty and twenty-seven feet high. 2.

Since this proposal involves additional huilding space, the City's landscaping requirements do apply (Zoning Ordinance, Appendix A: Procedural Manual). Based on 2,250 square feet of new building space, the landscaping requirements call for seven (7) caliper inches of trees (2,250 sfl 320 = 7). The applicant is proposing 9.9 caliper inches of trees. Tree Type Quantity Caliper Inches ! T olal Caliper Per Tree ! Inches Per Tree --------. ......---- -.."--" -------- I -.-.--- Black Hills Spruce (8 feet high) 3 __}} L_u 9_9 ..

However, the proposed addition is already . screened by existing and mature trees and a large earthen benTI. Furthermore, no trees will be removed with the proposed addition, the proposed coniferous trees exceed the required caliper inches for this size of an addition, and the proposed coniferous trees will provide additional year round screening. Because of these features, Staff does not expect the deficit oflarger trees to have an impact on the subject property or the surrounding neighborhood and does not recommend modifying the landscaping plan. 4. Aesthetics ~ Meets requirement The proposed addition would use building materials similar to the existing Building N (see pictures in Attachment 3C-3), which includes face brick, EIFS, and pre-finished metal panels. The 1-2 Zone does not have guidelines for building materials. 5. Parking - Meets requirement with pro(~(o/p({rking Boston Scientific acknowledges that there is a 557 parking stall deficit on the Campus per the Zoning Ordinance requirements. With the proposed addition, the deficit would increase to 560 parking spaces based on 2,250 square feet of new space and a requirement of I space per 1000 square feet of floor area for "Other Business and Industry"' space.

Despite the deficit, Boston Scientific has stated that there are a sufficient number of parking . stalls on the Campus for employees and visitors. Should the additional parking be needed, the applicant has submitted proof of parking for an additional 635 parking spaces has been submitted (Plan G003 in Attachment 3B-4). The submittcd parking plan includes four ADA accessible parking spaces, which is the minimum requirement for Building N. 6. Traffic, Access, and Circulation ~ Meets requirement The proposed addition is unlikely to have a significant impact on intemal circulation. Given the existing traffic conditions in the vicinity of Boston Scicntific, it is doubUi.1I the additional three employees would have any noticeable impact on traffic movement or congestion. Since the total amount of building space proposed in Phase I has not been rcached, it is un likely the cun"ent proposal warrants a traffic study or road improvements. However, a study to detennine ifroad improvements are necessary will bc needed before exceeding the originally proposed squarc footage in Phase 1. 7. Lighting ~ Meets Requirement Thcre are not any proposed changes to the lighting on building N that would impact neighboring propel1ies. . 8. Grading and Utilities ~ Meets Requirement ....llith conditions The City Engineer has reviewed thc grading, drainage, and utility plans for the proposal, and those comments arc attached. A condition requiring compliance with the comments in the lettcr are included as a condition for approval that must be completed before any building pcnnits are issued. 9. Screening & Noise - Ji,feets Requirements As noted in the letter from the applicant, the mechanical equipment for the building \vill be placed on the rooftop immediately south of the proposed addition. The rooftop immediately south ofthe addition is approximately ten feet lower, which \vill help screen the cquipment from neighboring residential properties. Furthermore, portions oCthe existing building arc taller than the location of the rooftop equipment, which will also help screen the rooftop equipmcnt from the adjacent residential areas.

Description of Request (supplement) This request is submitted in lieu of the application made July 3,2006 and approved by the City Council on August 28, 2006. Following a review of its building needs, Boston Scientific has decided not to pursue the proposed west addition to Building N in favor of the proposal described below. Boston Scientific IS requesting a Master Plan PUD Amendment and a Site Plan Review to allow a 2,2~jO square foot addition to BUilding N. An interior remodel of 5,300 square feet is proposed to occur in conjunction with the ilddition. The addition would he placed along the north side of the existing building The purpose of the addition is to illlow the integration of a new product component into the existing manufilcturing process. The new construction will prnvide space for new process equipment which will require a 25 foot clear height within the structure. The building would be a single story load. bearing masonry structure with the exterior materials matching the existmg newly remodeled facility These materials consist primarily of face brick, EIFS, and prefinished metal paneL Boston Scientific expects to add approximiltely 3 employees to building N with the additional squarr. foutaue The mechanical systems will be a typical roof top unit installation. The units will be set on the existing building south of the new addition at the lower, 18'-8" roof level. This will allow the taller 28'.4" new addition, as well as portions of the existing huilclinfj ilbovc 18' -8", to screen the roof top equipment from the residential neighborhood to the west and northwest We do not expect to acid any additional perceivable noise to the neighborhood with the screeninfj arrangement of the taller addition . .

The Planning Commission reviewed a re-Iandscaping plan for 3433 Lake Johanna Blvd at the October 4, 2006, Planning Commission meeting. While the landscaping plan appeared to be moving in the right direction, the plmming case was tabled in order to give the applicant time to modify the plan to address the following requests: . Relocate the three proposed trees near the westem side of the property closer to the proposed dwelling to ensure that the power lines are unobstructed; . Relocate the proposed vegetation near the utility easement to ensure that the vegetation does not interfere with the existing stonn drain or future maintenance/replacement; . Provide a more specific landscaping plan for the shoreland area. Since the plan was reviewed, the applicant has decided to go with a different landscaping company. While the plans are substantially similar, there are a few changes in the plan that will be discussed in the below section. This memo will focus on the modifications to the landscaping plan since the last Planning Commission meeting. Please see the October 4th, 2006, planning case report for the complete initial review (Attachment 3C-2 without attachments).

Landscaping Near the Pmver Line: The initial landscaping plan included three sienna glen maple trees along the western edge of the property near Fairview Avenue. These maple trees can obtain heights fifty to sixty feet and be up to forty feet across. Due to the proximity of the proposed trees to the power line, the Planning Commission requested that these three trees be relocated or substituted with a shorter species to ensure that the power line is not obstructed. The location of the power line has been added to the landscaping plan so that it .. can be compared to the location of the proposed trees. The sienna glen maple in the southwestern comer of the property has been moved farther east into the property away from the power line and closer to the proposed dwelling. Although there is more space between the proposed maple and the power line, the applicant will likely need to trim the tree at some point in the future to ensure that it does not interfere with the powcr line. The two other sienna glen maples that were on the initial landscaping plan are proposed to be substituted with two velvet pillar crabapple trees, both of which have been moved farther cast into the propcJ1y. The crabapple trees can obtain a height of fiftcen to twenty feet, as opposed to the fifty to sixty feet for the maples. Although the two crabapples will provide less screening than the two maples, they are less likely to interfere with the power line over the long-term. Utility Easement: There is a 19.75 foot wide utility easement along the entire northern edge . of the property. The stornlwater pipe in the casement, which drains stonnwater from Fairview Avenue to Lake Johanna, is approximately tive feet from the property line until it approaches the Lake Johanna Blvd right-of-way on the eastern end of the property where it angles to the northeast into Lake Johanna: The easement also extends approximately ten feet into the property to the north t6 create a thirty foot wide easement for the pipe. The initial landscaping plan included three river clump birch trees and six black hills spruce trees near the pipe in the easement <md in the County right-or-way. The applicant was requested to move the trees away from the pipe so that the pipe and trees did not interfere with each other in the future. More specifically, there was a concern that if the pipe ever needed to he replaced, the trees would be damaged or killed. The modified landscaping plan includes three river clump birch trees and three black hills spruce trees. The three river clump birch trees have been moved approximately ten to twelve feet from the stonnwater pipe farther south into the property. Although the trees are still within the utility easement, they arc on the southern edge of the easement and should not City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Afeetingj(Jr November 1. 2006 \\Metro-illet.l/siarde/1hills!Plfln/1illg\Plilllni/1g Cflses\2006\06..028 Ngo Site I'lllIi Rel'iew (PENf>ING)\/02306 - PC report - Ngo Site 1'10/1 . Rel'iell'.doe Page 2 of 8 . limit access to the stonl1water pipe. A]though the City docs not have any specific restrictions on landscaping within casements, these trees could be moved a few feet farther south if . deemed necessary. As the pipe approaches the proposed location of the black hills spruce trees, the pipe angles away from the trees to the nOl1heast toward Lake Johanna. Although the spruce trees, which arc in the Ramsey County right-of-way, arc outside of the utility casement, the trees would be in line \vith the casement if the easement continued farther cast. Neverthe]ess, the proposed location for the spruces should be far enough from the stonl1water so as not to calise interference with futurc maintenance or replacement of the pipe. Additionally, the City Engincer has indicated that if the pipe needed to be replaced, it would likely be relined instead of completcly dug up and replaced. Thc modified landscaping plan docs include three fewer black hills spruce trees on the northern side of the property. The applicant's new landscaper suggested removing these trecs because it was felt that the original nine trees (6 spruces and 3 birches) would be overcrowded, which could stunt growth or cause some of the trees to die. The proposed spruce trees can get up to sixty feet tall and forty feet wide, and the birch trees can get up to forty feet tall and f()rty feet wide. The three remaining proposed spruce trees would be wi thin thirty-five feet of each other. There are also a number of young coniferous trees that are near the property line but on the property to the north that could be harmed if too many trees are planted in this location. The modified plan states that the spruce trees would be six to seven feet tall \vhen planted; however, StaIf recommends that the spruce trees be at least eight feet tall when planted. . Shoreland Landscaping Plan: As requested at the last Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted a full landscaping plan for the shoreland area. The vegetation for the plan was selected with assistance trom the Rice Creek Watershed District and is meant to provide the most compatibility with the lake and soil conditions. Tn addition to the proposed new vegetation, the plan incorporates the four existing trees near the southeastern corner of the property that partially extend out over the lake. An existing tree near the northeastern corner of the property provides additional screening; however, it is locatcd on thc property to the nOl1h. The shorcland plan includes five types of small perennials, eight winter berry bushes, and nine isanti dogwoods. Thc types of perennials to be used are listcd on the landscaping plan and are primarily smaller plants (IT to 24" tall) and grasses that will increase soil stability and natural vegctative filtration to the shoreline. The exact number of smaller perennials will need to be detcllllineu on site during planting to ensure that the plants are not overcrowded or too sparse and to ensure that the soil is stabilized.

Although the applicant has stated that the proposed path and dock may not be installed immediately, the location for a future path and dock is included on the plan. Addit ional Modifications: Since the last Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has consulted with an arborist and an additional landscaper to provide more guidance for the landscaping plan. As noted in the applicant's letter, a concern was raised that there the proposed vegetation may be overcrowded, which could compromise the survival of some of the vegetation. As described above, the plan docs include three fewer black hills spruce trees. The wclchi juniper, which was located between the dwelling and the sidewalk, is shown but is not labeled on the modified plan. However, the plan still includes twenty new trees that range in height from twenty to sixty feet at maturity. Staff is concerned that the size of the trees may be on the too small when planted. Therel(xe, Staff is recommending the following conditions regarding the proposed trees: I. The black hills spruce trees shall be at least eight feet tall upon planting. 2. The sienna glen maple tree shall be at least three caliper inches upon planting. 3. The velvet pillar crabapple shall be at least 2.5 caliper inches upon planting. As mentioned above, the landscaping plan now shows three existing trees that are near the . property line but on the property to the north, and four trees that are near the shoreline. While the locations of the trees and shrubs are shown on the modified plan, the exact location of each perennial has been removed tJ'om the plan. Although the plan still includes the general locations for the perennials, it was felt that showing the exact location of each perennial may be unnecessarily strict since it could lead to placing plants in less than ideal locations once the landscaping plan is implemented. The planting list does still include the overall number of perennials that arc to be planted. Stall is not generally concerned with the removal of this pmticular detail related to the location of the perennials; however, the City will still expect that the full number perennials on the planting list will be planted and maintained in the areas indicated on the plan. The proposed trees, shrubs, and bushes are the anchors of the project, and those locations should remain on the plan and should be planted in the proposed locations. Finally, the planting list indicates that mulch will be used in the landscaping. While mulch can help reduce erosion and help stabilize the ground, the color of the mulch should not Cify (~(A/'dr:n Hills Planning Commission A,fr:eling/o/' No I 'L'III her I, ]()(J6 \\.l!Clro-i",'I.lIs!lIrclellhillsiPfanllillg'I'faf/l1illg Cases;:!(}(t(>'(l6-028 :Vgo Sill' Plall RCl'i('\t' (pENr>fN(;)!l1I!3U{j . f'(' report - Ngo Silt' Plan . Rt'\.'lt'\l'.(/IJ(" Page 4 of 8 . overwhelm or distract from the plants. Therefore, Staff has included a condition that requires the mulch to be a neutra] color. . Financial Suref\' As part of this re-landscaping process to resolve the clear-cutting issue, the applicant agreed to submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the landscaping plan. At the last Planning Commission meeting, there was a brief discussion about how the financial surety should be released and over what timeframe. As a staliing point for the financial surety discussion, Staff proposes the following release schedule: . 50(~,'o of the financial surety would be released upon full implementation of the landscaping plan that is approved by the City and after a successful inspection by City Staff. . 30% would be released after the first full year after implementation and a successful inspection by City Staff. . 2(Y~';) would bc released afkr the second full year and a successful inspection by City Sta1T The initial installation includes the cost of the grading, retaining walls, and the vegetation; therefore, the installation cost in the first year will be much higher than any needed replacement or maintenance costs in the follov..:ing two years. Since it is highly unlikely that all of the plants wi II die or other major expenses would occur within the first year after . implementation, it may be prudent to release a larger pOliion of the financial surety after the full plan is implemented and inspected. The second portion of the 11 nancia] surety would be rei eased one year after full implementation and inspection. The final pOliion of the financial surety would be released after the second full year of implementation and inspection. The financial surety is essentially a fOl1n of insurance lor the City to ensure that the landscaping plan is fully implemented as proposed and that the vegetation is able to establish itself. Should the applicant not replace dead or dying vegetation after being requcsted by the City to do so, the City wou]d be able to use the financial surety to have the vegetation replaced. 2. General Evaluation Criteria Since a residential property is generally not subject to the site plan review process for landscaping, there is not a prescribed procedure for evaluating the proposed landscaping plan. Evaluation criteria may include, but is not limited to, the following: . Compatibility with neighboring propcliies; . SufJicient replacement ofpreviolls vegetation; Ci(I' ojArden IIi/Is Planning COlI/missiu1/ Aleefingj()r NOl'elllber J. ]006 . : ;;\Ie/ro. illl'l.lIsiardt'llhi/!sJ>laI//7illgiPIlIllllillg Cas, '.\...:!III)(, ,O(,-O:!s ;\1:0 .\i/e !'Iall Rl'I'iew II'LNU!N(;'jilO:!306 - 1'(' I'<:/)(/r/ - /I/go Sire !'Iall RC1';t.'\I,.'.d(J(' Pllge 5 of 8 . Plant diversity and placement; . Screening from the lake; . Long-teml erosion control; . . Stormwater management; . Long-ternl viability of the plantings; and, . Approval from Ramsey County/Rice Creek Watershed District; When evaluating the total landscaping plan, any conditions imposed on the plan must be commensurate to the violation and remediation. It is important that there be a connection between the plan, the conditions for approval, and the mitigation of the impact from the clear-cutting. 3. Special Use Permit - Section S.D.3.b Typically, a site plan review also uses the special use permit criteria in the evaluation process. Since this is an atypical application, most of the special use permit criteria do not apply. However, Section S.D.3.b of the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance lists the criteria for evaluating a Special Use Permit, which requires the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land, in particular, and the community as a whole, 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 densi ty; 5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land; adjoining land values; 6. Park dedications \vhere applicable; and the 7. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and intent of this ordinance and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. Findin2;s of Fact While no landscaping plan will be able to replace the vegetation that existed on the property prior to the clear-cutting, this plan does work to address screening, erosion, and stormwater concerns. Therefore, Staff finds that the modified proposal, along with the proposed conditions, works to mitigate the clear-cutting violation. The landscaping plan provides stormwater management, provides more landscaping than most other properties in the neighborhood, and provides a high level of plant diversity.

Ngo 6 West Plcasant Lakc Road North Oaks, Minnesota 55127 (651) 481-0895 October 19, 2006 Me James Lchnhoff City Planner City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 Subject: Additional Landscaping Details for 3433 LAKE JOHANNA Blvd. Dear Mr. LehnhotT: As we have discussed, an amended landscaping plan for the property is being submitted as part of the application for the Site Plan Review. At the October 4th, 2006 mceting, the Planning Commission and you had concerns regarding our proposed landscaping, related to some trees being too close to the power . line on the western side of the property, and to the storm sewer line on the northern side. Also, information about the shoreline landscaping plan was requested. In addition, I have consulted with some arborists and landscaping experts who pointed out that the proposed plan did not account for several large existing trees remaining on or close to the property's northern side and along the shoreline .It also had problems with overcrowding, which compromises the vegetation's survival and gives a littering view. Our amended plan submitted today would hopefully satisfactorily address those issues of concern. lbe amended proposed plan retains most of the previous plan features: the retaining walls system, the rain water garden, the varieties of trees, shrubs, flowers, grass and landscaping materials uscful for erosion control, and run off watcr control in the long-term. It also has the following amended features: 1) On the western side of the property: three proposed trees are moved closer to the house and there is an existing tree of black walnut type. The maple and the black walnut arc large type of trees (60' high, 40' wide), screening almost an 80' span on the western side. I would propose that the two remaining trees to be planted be mediwn sized trees such as crab apples (15' high, 15' wide) to avoid overcrowding and contact with the power line and to give tlowering colors in the spring. 2) On the northern side of the property: there is a large existing hardwood tree at the property line and a dozen newly planted pine trees on the property to the north. Many of those pine trees arc within a fcw feet from the property linc. While there is no law banning tree and shrub planting on the storm sewer easement, 1 would follow the . recommendation to move the three River Birch trees to about 13' to 15' from the I property line; this gives a clear way about 15' wide or more over the stonn sewer line . (except the location of the existing hardwood trees). The stonn sewer line turns toward the north, away from my property at that point toward the lake. With the existing hardwood tree and three River Birch trees (60' high, 40' wide) and a dozen pine trees on the property to the north, we have a lot of screening for about 100' of the northern side. Any more planting there would cause overcrowding and threaten survival of the trees, in my opInIOn. 3) The area between the retaining wall and Lake Johanna Blvd: . Six Black Hill Spruces (three at each end). Those evergreens (40' high, 30' wide) would provide dense screening at the north and south sides from the street. . On the slope: We would reduce the number of small shrubs to avoid overcrowding. - A wide strip of perennials (five or more varieties, multi-colors) at the street level. - Three types oflarger shrubs/ small trees (about 35 to 40 of them). Those are up to 10' high providing screening effect in conjunction with Boston Ivy vines on the retaining wall. They also provide erosion control in conjunction with erosion control blankets and mulch. . Tall perennials in the basin below the rain water garden (5 or more varieties, multi-colors) to enhance water infiltration. 4) Shore-land area: Landscaping in this area is proposed with much interest in erosion control, water infiltration, screening the street and giving a pleasant view from the lake. All proposed vegetations and materials in this plan are recommended by the . Rice Creek Watershed District. . There is a group of existing tree remaining along the southern 113 shoreline. . Proposed landscaping includes ~A wide strip of shoreline perennials (five varieties, multi-colors) closer to the water edge. -Rows of Winter Berry and Isanti Dogwood. Those trees/shrubs are 6' to 10' high, providing screening of the street and add erosion control. -Optimal use of erosion control blankets and mulch . Proposed steps down for the future dock. With this amended plan, we sincerely hope that its installation will provide an effective long term means of erosion control, rain water run off control, sufficient replacement of previous vegetation and screening from the lake and qualities compatible with neighboring properties.

Back2:round 1. Overview: At the end of July 2006,3433 Lake Johanna Blvd was clear-cut, which was in violation of the City's Shoreland Ordinance. The property is located immediately south of 3441 Lake Johanna Blvd on the western side of Lake Johanna. The property has li'ontage on Lake Johanna Blvd and Fairview Avenue. Staff has been working with the property owner to resolve the situation to produce a positive outcome for the City and the neighborhood. While it is a regrettable situation, the property owner has been very cooperative with the City. Mr. Ngo, the property owncr, has volunteered to go through the Site Plan Review process to review thc proposed landscaping plan for the property. Generally, a residential property is not suhject to a landscaping review. StatThas been working with Mr. Ngo to prepare a plan for the site.

Although the applicant has included plans for the proposed dwelling, the dwelling is not included in this . review. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the dwelling does meet all requirements of the underlying R-2 Zone, including setbacks, impervious coverage limits (25<%), and height. Additional Information Background: During the last part of July 2006, the property owner of 3433 Lake Johanna Blvd hired a tree cutting service to remove the trees from his property to prepare the site for construction of a new home. Prior to the clearing, the property was vacant. The property owner claims that he contacted the City to find out if a permit was needed to remove trees. The City does not require a permit for removing trees; therefore, it is quite possible that the property owner was told he did not need a pennit. Unfortunately, it was not made clear that this is a property within the shoreland overlay zone. In addition to clearing the lot, the tree cutting service removed the trees in the Ramsey County right-of-way for Lake Johanna Blvd and may have removed trees in the Fairview Avenue right-or-way, which is dedicated to the City. RamscJ' COUll~V: Ramsey County detemlined that since there was no damage to the road and erosion was under control, they did not have any legal recourse. Ramsey County did indicate that they would be supportive of the City's efforts to have the property re-Iandscaped. Rice Creek Watersl1edDistrict: The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) investigated the scene after the clearing and found the erosion control measures in place to be sufficient and, . therefore, they did not have any cause for action. RCWD does not have any restrictions on vegetation removal. RCWD is reviewing the property owner's building plans. Shore/and Ordinance Violation: The technical violation of City Ordinances is clear-cutting in the Shoreland Overlay Zone, which is prohibited in Ordinance 334 Subd. 7.A.I. Clcar- cutting includes completely removing a stand of trees and other vegetation. Cit), Options: The City has does not have a violation like this on record, and there is not a defined process in place for resolving this type of violation. Since the vegetation is already gone, the City must look for the option that provides the best outcome for the City and the neighborhood. While the City could issue a citation or file a civil lawsuit, the City tries to work with property owner's belore resorting to legal action. Even if the property owner enters a guilty plea, the court process can be long and expensive with potentially minimal results. It is quite possible that the City's legal costs would be more than a line, and the court may simply order the property owner to work with the City to re-Iandscape the lot. Furthermore, taking the issue to court may actually delay implementing a landscaping plan. In this case, the property owner has been cooperative and open to StafY ideas. Should the property owner decide to not City ojArdell Hills Planning Commission Meetingjhr October 4. 1006 !1A!etro-il1et.lIs!ardl'l1hills:l'lal1l1il1gIPlllllllil1g Cllse,s\]00610('..028 Ng:o Sill' 1'1011 Review (I'J:ND/NGi:(}9130(, - PC report - Ngo Site PIIII1 .

Unfortunately, the City docs not have an administrative citation process at this time, which means the City . cannot simply fine the property owner without taking him to court. Property O~t'ller Agreement: In a meeting with the property owncr, Staff suggested that he volunteer to have his landscaping plan reviewed through the site plan review process, which would require review by the Planning Commission and City Council. The property has also paid the $400 site plan review fee. In most cases, a residential property would not be subject to the site plan review process or a landscaping review. Mr. Ngo has volunteered to go through the site plan review process and be subjcct to whatcver conditions are placed on the landscaping plan. He was made aware that the City would be looking [or an extensive landscaping plan that should include the Ramsey County right-of-way (Ramsey County has signed off on the landscaping within their right-or-way). Since it is not practical to fully install landscaping before the home is constructed, Mr. Ngo will need to submit a financial surety to the City Jor the estimated cost of the landscaping prior to issuing any building permits. The financial surety will be revicwed by the City Attorney and is used to ensure that the landscaping is completed as approved. The property owner is continually responsible for maintaining the erosion control subject to City and RCWD standards. 2.

Landscaping Plan Proposal . Vegetation Plan: The vegetation/landscaping plan, a detailed list of the plantings and an estimated cost of the proposed plantings is in Attachment 3B-4. The applicant is proposing to use 25 different types oftrees, plants, and bushes for a total of 184 plantings at an estimated cost 0[$19,107.40. To help visualize the landscaping plan, the applicant has submitted pictures and inforn1ation about each type of plant that is proposed to be used on the property. The vegetation plan includes a mixture of trees, large and small shruhs, flowers, and vines. The applicant will also be restoring the shoreline vegetation. They are currcntly working with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to select the appropriate types of plants. A list of plant options for along the shoreline is included with this report (Attachment 38-2). A final review from the RCWD was not available in time for thc printing of this rep0l1. Retaining Wall: Due to the steep hillside, the applicant is proposing to construct a four foot high retaining wall along the property line facing Lake Johanna Blvd. The applicant has suhmitted two different pictures of retaining walls that may be used on the property (Attachment 3B-1). Trees and bushes in front of the retaining walls would screen much of the wall from the lake. Two types of vines would also he used to screen the walls and provide additional vegetation on the property. There are two other four foot high retaining walls proposed for the propel1y. One of the . retaining walls is located on the nOl1hwestern part of the property. The other retaining wall is located near the southeastern comer of the proposed dwelling. Rain Garden/Stomnva/er kJanagement: The proposal includes a rain garden to treat and store on-site storm water (Attachment 38-4). The rain garden is located immediately west of the retaining wall and is filled with plants appropriate for a rain garden. The Rice Creek Watershed District is reviewing the application to ensure that the rain garden is sufficient for runoff on the property. There was no storn1\vater treatment on the property prior to this proposal. There is an existing pipe along the northern edge of the lot in a utility casement that carries stormwater from Fairview Avenue to Lake Johanna. This pipe was not damaged in the clearing and will remain in place. Erosion ('on/ro/: The City and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) monitor erosion control on the propel1y (Attachment 3B-4). The proposed rain garden and landscaping will create natural erosion control measures and help stabilize the hillside. The RCWD is reviewing the building and rain garden proposal.

The rain garden wi 11 help compensate for thc . impervious surface on the property. The proposed impervious coverage is 25 percent for the driveway and homc; the maximum is 35 percent. Ramsey COll1l(V: Ken Haider from Ramsey County has reviewed the proposed landscaping plan and approved the landscaping that would be located in the Ramsey COllnty right-of-way along Lake Johanna Blvd. Rice Creek Watershed District: The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) docs not review landscaping plans for this t)lJe of developmcnt; however, they do rcvicw the plans for the proposed dwelling and stormwatcr management. Thc RCWD has issued a Conditional Approval Pending Receipt of Changes (CAPROC) for the proposed dwelling (Attachment 3B-l). A copy of the CAPR.oC has been submitted to the City and is included with this packet. Based on the requested infonnation from RCWD, it is quite likely that the permit will be granted. 2, General Evaluation Criteria Since a residential property is gencrally not subject to the sitc plan revicw process for landscaping, there is not a prescribed procedure lor evaluating the proposed landscaping plan. Evaluation criteria may includc, but is not limitcd to, thc lollO\ving: . Compatibility with neighboring propc11ies; . . Sufficient replacement of previous vegetation; . Plant diversity and placemcnt; . Screening from the lake; . Long-term crosion control; . Stonnwater management; . Long-term viability of the plantings; and, . Approvallrom Ramsey County/Rice Crcek Watershed District; When evaluating the total landscaping plan, any conditions imposcd on the plan must be commensuratc to the violation and remediation. It is important that there be an essential nexus or connection between the plan, the conditions for approval, and the mitigation of the impact from thc clear-cutting. 3. Special Use Permit - Section S.D.3.b Typically, a site plan revie\v also uses the special use permit criteria in the evaluation process. Since this is an atypical application, most of the special use permit criteria do not apply. However, Section 8.D.3.b of the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance lists the criteria Ii.)r City o(Ardt'llllills P/al1lzing COl/lmission Mct'/ingf{Jr Octohcr -/, ]IJt)(i . \:'\/clro-iIlCI.1I.1 !lIrdml1illsi/'llIlIlIillgil'/lIl1l1i1/g ClIs('s\:!Ii06:!)IH):!S Ngo Sill' PIII1/ RCI'il'1\" rPFN/)/N(~J'()9/3(16 - /'( . r<,porl - :v:~o Sill' 1'llIn R('\'icu'.(loc "age 5 of 7 evaluating a Special Use Permit, which requires the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general . welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land, in particular, and the community as a whole, in general, including but not limited to the following factors: I. 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.

Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and intent of this ordinance and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. Findin2s of l,'act Based on the review of the proposed landscaping plan and supporting materials, Staff finds that the proposal sufficiently mitigates the clear-cutting violation with the proposed conditions. The landscaping plan provides stormwater management, creates a lot that is compatible with the neighborhood in temlS of landscaping, and provides a high level of plant diversity. Resident Comments . Staff has not received any letters, e-mails, or telephone calls irom property owners or occupants , in regard to this planning case. There were a number of phone calls ancl emails from the original violation. Staff Recommendation Based on the submitted plans, Staff recommends approval of Planning Case #06-028 fIX the Site Plan Review to re-landscape 3433 Lake Johanna Blvd subject to the following seven conditions: I.

Back2round . Over the last few months, Stan"has been preparing thc Zoning Ordinancc for re-codification and to incorporate it as Chapter 13 of the City Code. Unlike the sign regulations, changcs to the zoning regulations requirc a public hearing. This mcmo outlines the proposed updates and modifications to thc zoning regulations. Much ofthc updating process was needcd to bring thc zoning regulations into confoffilancc with State Statutes, incorporate past zoning ordinance changes/additions, and to clarify certain sections of the zoning regulations. Therc are a few proposed changes that, while not required, are being recommended to resolve ongoing issues and to implemcnt common planning practices. At this time, Staff is not rccommending any changcs to the zoning districts, lot sizes, uses, impervious coveragc limits, or setbacks. The primary goal of this proccss is to clean up the zoning regulations and to providc everyone with a clean copy. Once a clean copy is prepared and the comprehensive plan update is finished, it may thcn be pmdcnt to discuss morc substantial policy changes to thc various zoning districts. The layout (bold print, indcnts, etc) of each section \vill be correctly fOffilatted after thc Zoning Code has been fully reviewed.

Zoning Ordinance -7 Chapter 13 of the City Code As noted above, the revised zoning regulations are scheduled to become Chaptcr 13 ofthe City Code in this update process. The zoning regulations have the same function as a stand alonc ordinance or as directly part ofthc City Code. However, thc new Zoning Code wil1 follow the samc formatting and numbering system as thc rest of the City Code whcn it is completed. Thc consistent number system wil1 make it easier to locate information, apply futurc updates, and keep the City's numbering system consistent. Special Use Permits -7 Conditional U<;e Permits While it is not a rcquired change, State Statutes no longer use the tcrm "special use" or "special use permit." Most cities have switched to calling these typcs of uses and permits "conditional use" and "conditional use permits," which is thc language used in State Statutes. Technical1y, a city is required to approve a conditional/special use permit if the applicant can successfully demonstrate that the potential ncgative impacts of the proposcd use can be mitigated. Additionally, the city is allowed to apply conditions to a conditional usc to ensure that the negative impacts of a conditional use arc mitigated. "Special use" implies that it is a use that is not nonnally permitted but can be special1y granted if . the City so chooses. Changing the title of the pcrmit wil1 not impact the City's review process or past special use permits.

The City Attomey has recommended defining the chapters and sections ofthc Zoning Code in this Section (Attaclmlent 3D-I). The reason for doing this is because the Zoning Code requires a public hearing for all changes whereas the rest of the City Code does not. 1305: RULES, SCOPE, INTERPRETATION, & [)E'F1NITlONS The definitions from the Shorcland Ordinance (Section 1330) and Flood Plain (Section 1335) have been incorporatcd into this Section. 1310: MINIMUAf COMPIJANCE Rr~QUIREAfHNl:~' Section 1310.03 is entirely new and is a departure from the existing zoning regulations. Background infonmltion for each subdivision of 1310.03 is provided below. Subd I: Currently, the City does not require a variance to build on any lot no mattcr how nonconforming the lot is. Many cities require a variance to construct on nonconfonning lots to ensure that the devcIopment docs not negatively impact adjacent properties or cause other negative side atTccts. A common strategy used to rcgu]ate the developmcnt of nonconforming properties is thc "80% rule:- The eighty percent rule simply states that any existing lot that does not have at least eighty percent of the rcquired lot width, lot area, and shoreline width (where applicable), would bc rcquircd to obtain a variance . before developing the property. It is important to note that a city must permit rcasonable use of existing propertics evcn if they are nonconfomling. Restricting all reasonable use of a property, nonconfomling or otherwise, would be a rcgulatory taking, which is unconstitutional. However, a city can work to mitigate the impacts of devcloping nonconforming properties through the variance process. The general consensus at the Planning COil/mission work session was that proposed Subdivision J a'ould add unneeded complexity to the Zoning Code and should not be adopted. Subd 2: If a property is composed of two or more "Lots of Record:' the City's zoning amI subdivision regulations ordinanccs currently do not require the property owner to go through the subdivision process to revert a propCrly back to thc original lot lines-even if the prcvious lots of record are nonconfonning under current regulations. These situations often come up when a person purchascd t\vo or more properties in the past but combined the properties for tax purposes and/or to create larger lots. In some cases, two individual lots within a combined property are noncontorming. City (~fArde/l Hills Planning Commission meclingpJ/' November I, ]006 i!Afelro-i/1d./I,,\ardl'llhiU"!['h/llllillgll'/all/1illg ("aol'"I]/I/l6;06-1134 /.allillg Cod!' Rl'codilimtiulI if-'/:.AO/N(;I,/III "116 - P(. .1/f'mo - /.ollillg . RI'('odijicntioll.I/OC Page 4 of 13 . For example, in the southeastern part of the City there was a property that was composed ofthree nonconfonning lots of record. The existing regulations required the City to allow the property owner to revert the single confomling property back to three nonconfomling propel1ies despite the fact that each property had less than half of the required minimum lot area. The proposed regulations in Section 1310.03 Subd 2 would prohibit property owners from reverting a confOlTI1ing property back to the original lots of record if the lots do not meet current minimum requirements. As the pressure for infill development increases, we will likely see an increase in property owners that want to recreate nonconforming properties. Nonconforming properties can be difficult to develop due to limited access to a public roads, substandard soils, wetland coverage, and they may create higher than desired densities in certain neighborhood. 'rhis provision helps the City stop the increase of "new" noncontomling properties. Properties that arc composed of two or more lots ofrecord that mcet the minimum requirements of the underlying zone would still be pemlitted to revert back to the original property lines. Subd 3: If a person purchases t\\'o or more propertics and builds across the propel1y linc, this subdivision would require the property owner to combine the properties into a single propel1y. 1315: ZONING A1AP AND BOUNDARiES OF ZONING DISTRICTS . Since the Zoning Code is being updated, the City Attorney has recommended removing Subdivisions I and 2 of Section 1315.01. The rcason for this change is that the Zoning Map will be up to date with the re-codification. A revised copy of this scction is included in Attachmcnt 3D-2. /320: DiSTRICT PROVIS10N,)' Although this is one of the most imp0l1ant sections of the zoning regulations, there are only two changes to review in this Section: . The rdercnces to thc "Lcxington A venue Busincss Plan" have been removed. I have attempted to locate this plan, but there does not seem to be a copy availablc. Furthennore, I cannot find anyonc that has even heard of this plan. . Scction 1320.14 Subd 5 includes the voting requirements to approve a Planned Unit Development (PUD). State law does not require a 4/5 approval for PUDs; however, the City can be more restrictive if they so choose. While there is not a standard for cities on this issue, the 3/5 vote requirement is becoming more common. This is a largcr policy issue for the City Council, though it does have some impact the Planning Commission. Either way, this paragraph should be moved to Section 1355, Ci(v ofArd(,1I lfills P[allning COlllmissiollll/('ctillgfi)/' NUW'lIlha I. 2006 . \\Alclro-il/ct./Is\anl('l/hills\I'/<1l/nillg\P/alll/il/,<!.

Accessory Structures. . Clear Vision Area. . Fences. . Foundations. . Weed Height. Please note that while none of the proposed changes in this Section are rcquired, they do address long standing issues and help to clarify portions of the zoning regulations. Accessory Structures. There are a number of proposed changes to the acccssory structure regulations: . Height: The current regulations limit acccssory structurc height to less than the height of the principal structure. The height limit for principal structures in the residential zones is 35 fcet, which means that an acccssory structure could potentially be 34.9 feet tall on a 728 square foot footprint. This could allow a property owner to create a multi-story accessory structure. The proposed regulations would limit accessory structure height to 15 feet or no taller than the . principal structure, whichever is shorter. This height allows property owners to still have storage above, but it would limit building a full second story on new accessory structures. Common height limitations in other cities are between 13 and 25 feet. Height is measurcd from the average level of the grade along the foundation to the halfway point between the tallest peak and eaves. The regulations in the accessory structure section do not affcct attached garages. . Membrane Structurcs: Earlier this year, the City revised this ordinance to ban membrane structures. This ban unintentionally hanned all temporary tents and other structures that arc used for family reunions, picnics, greenhouses, etc. The intent of the ban was to stop the use oftent structures used for garages in residential areas; however, the ban oven-eached its initial goal. . - The revised rcgulations would pemlit permanent memhrane structures in non- residential areas subject to the site plan rcview process. Temporary membrane structures would he permitted in non-residential areas for up to six months with an approved building pemlit, which is primarily meant to address greenhouses in City (~(Anlen Hills Planning Commission meeting for Novemba I. 2006 I IMetro-inet.liS lardcnhi/lslPlr/llningIP/annin.f!. CasesI20116i06.-(l34 /.oning Code Recod~/icalion (i'ENDIN(iji/OJ .7(16 - PC Memo - /.oning . Rc('odijicationdoc Page 6 of 13 . the commercial zones. Finally, temporary membrane structures would be allowed for up to two days in any zone without a pemlit. The two day exempt membrane structures would cover the f~lI11ily reunion tents, picnic tents, and similar types of tents. . Site Plan Review. Currently, to deviate from the accessory structure standards, property owners are required to through the variancc process. For the most part, it is very difficult to prove a hardship to grant a variance for an accessory structure, even if the proposal were legitimate. Another option is to have deviations from the accessory structure regulations be dealt with through the site plan review process, which does not utilize the hardship criteria but still gives the City discretion to approve or deny such applications. Under the proposal, a variance would still be rcquired to exceed the total accessory structure squarc footage pennitted for a residential property. Clear Vision Area. The existing zoning rcgulations provide two separatc definitions for the clear vision area at intersections. To be consistent, Staff is proposing to eliminate both definitions and use the clear vision area definition from the Sign Code. Sections 1325.03 Subd2.C and 1325.05 Subd 4.L have the updated definitions. The new definition does incorporate the area that would have been in the previous clear vision area definitions. At the Planning Commission work session meeting, therc wcre some suggestions made to . clari fy the definition further. Attachment 3D-3 has thc revised definition. The clear vision area definition will also be added to the definitions in Section 1305. Fences (Section 1325.05 Subd 41 So far this year, the City has had two applications to construct a fence in the secondary front yard of a corner lot. Thc current City regulations prohibit fences taller than three feet in the front yard. Howcver, comer lots have two front yards and are not ablc to construct a fence in the secondary front yard without an approved site plan review. This proposal would peD11it fences up to six feet in height in the secondary front yard through the regular permitting process. Fcnccs within the cntire forty foot primary front yard setback would still be limited to three feet in height. Foundations (Section 1325.05 Subd 8). The current regulations require all parts of a principal structure to be on a continuous, solid, and peD11anent foundation. The Building Official has rcquested modifying this standard bccause it effectively prohibits the use of pier footings for three and four season porches. The proposed modification would allow up to 25 percent ofthc perimctcr of tile structurc to be on a non-continuous foundation.

Weed Hcight (Section 1325.07 Subd 2.B). At thc recommendation of the Property Maintenance Committee, the height limit for noxious wceds has been reduced from twelve to eight inches. 1330: SHORELAND REGULA T10NS At the Planning Commission work session, the proposal of banning new boat houses was discussed. It was the understanding of some Staff members that new boat houses were already banned. The language in the shoreland ordinance is somewhat ambiguous on this issue; however, it appears that new boat houses can be pennitted through the conditional use (special use) permitting process. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) was consulted, and while they do encourage cities to ban new boat houses, new "water-oriented accessory structures" can bc permitted by cities under ccrtain conditions. A water-oriented accessory structure is most any structure that is in the required lake setback. There is a statewide prohibition on ncw boathouses that are partially or entirely in the water. Ifnew water-oriented accessory structures arc banned, the existing boathouses \vould . become legal, nonconfonning structures that could be maintained, replaced, and rcpaired as needed. However, existing boat houses could not be expanded. A revised shoreland ordinance is in Attachment 30-5. The definitions section from the shoreland ordinance was integrated with the definitions in Section 1305. SECT/ON 1335: FLOOD Pl,A1NS -- }V([S 1365 at the lvork session Thcre are not any content changes to the flood plain regulations. The flood plain regulations were a stand alone ordinance; however, documentation from when the flood plain regulations were passed indicates that the Hood plan regulations were intended to be part of the Zoning Code. The nonconforming uses/lots section was largely removed since Section 1350 controls the nonconfomling regulations for the entire Zoning Code.

The adult use rcgulations were a stand alone ordinance; however, documentation from when the adult use regulations wcre passed indicates that it was intendcd to be palt of the Zoning Code. The definitions portion of the adult use regulations was not incorporated into the general dcfinitions section bccause some ofthc definitions are vcry specific for the adult use section. ,S'ECTION 1345: CONDITIONAl, USES - Ivas 1335 at the Ivork session Except for changing from the "special use" phrasing to the "conditional use" phrasing, therc are not any contcnt changes to this Scction. SECTION 1350: NONCONFORMING USES. BUILDINGS, AND IJ)T . Approximately two years ago. the Statc changed thc regulations regarding nonconfonning structures and uscs. The new rcgulations allow property owners to rebuild nonconforming structures cven if the entire structure is destroyed by natural forces or simply tom down for reconstruction. Under the new law, nonconfonning uses and structures cannot be expanded but they can be continued through repair, rcplacemcnt, restoration, maintenance. or improvement. However, the rcbuilt or restorcd structure cannot cxcccd any of the dimcnsions of the previous nonconfonning structure. Furthermore, the property owner must apply for building pel1nits within 180 days of the removal or destruction of the structure or the City can require the ncw structure to meet all current requirements. The old regulations stated that if a structure werc destroyed to an extent that grcater than fifty percent of its market value were lost, the City could require the new structurc to conform to all current rcquirements. State Statutes also prohibit the amortization of nonconforming uses and structures. Basically, the old statute allowed a city to require nonconforming properties/structures/uses to become conforming within a cel1ain period of time. This strategy is no longer an option for cities and has been removed from the Zoning Code.

PUD & Rezoning Approvals (Section 1355.04 Subd 2.C and Subd 6.Cl As noted carlier, State Statutes do not require a 4/5 vote to approve Planned Unit Devc10pments (PUDs). The Statc did require a 4/5 vote for rezonings; howcvcr, that requircmcnt has bcen eliminated. A city may now approvc a rezoning with a 3/5 vote unless thc rezoning converts rcsidentialland to commercial or industrial zoning in which case a 4/5 vote is still required. A city can bc more restrictive in voting requircments, though it is increasingly common to see cities usc a 3/5 vote approval requirement for rczonings and PUDs. Variance Review Procedures (Section 1355.04 Subd 4.C). The variance revicw criteria have becn updated to match thc language in State Statutes. While the previous languagc was not necessarily incorrect, thc new language is clearer and consistent with State review criteria, The overall intcnt ofthc review criteria is the same. The wording used in State Statutes has been included in thc variancc applications that have been processed in 2006.

Strategic Plan for the City. The EDC immediately began the RFP process and in March of 2006 hired DeSCo Solutions, Inc., to prepare the Plan. DeSCo in collaboration with the EDC gathered information through research and interviews with City Officials, Key Leaders and Stakeholders, as well as through a city-wide survey, then used this information to prepare the attached Economic Development Strategic Plan. The EDC has since reviewed the Plan and, after making some changes to the Plan, has recommended adoption and implementation of this plan in and for the City of Arden Hills. EDC Chair Bruce Kunkel presented the Plan to the Council at the October 16 council meeting. Council acknowledged and thanked the EDC for all of the effort that went into developing the Plan. Recognizing that there is a great deal of information and financial ramifications associated with the Plan, the Council requested the Plan be brought to a work session for more in-depth discussion. . Discussion EDe Strategic Economic Development Plan Discussion . October 24, 2006 Page 2 of2 Arden Hills' EDC is charged with providing vision and direction to the economic development efforts of the City. The EDC's priorities associated with this mission a re to: 1. Ensure a sustainable, profitable, and competitive economic climate in the City; 2. Enhance natural resource conservation and management in the City; 3. Build local capacity for economic development in the city; 4. Improve the economic security of Arden Hills' families; and 5. Prepare Arden Hills youth to be productive, positive, and equipped with Iife- skills for the future. In an effort to pursue these priorities, the EDC commissioned an economic development strategic plan to be prepared for the City. This plan will take the City through 2011 and is comprised of 29 goals and objectives to achieve these priorities. The 29 goals and objectives identified in the Plan are organized around five cornerstones of economic development: . Building an Organization That Can Support Economic Development . . Creating a Community that Fosters Investment . Retaining The Existing Business Base in the City of Arden Hills . Attracting New Investment and . Creating a Strong Workforce This Plan, approved and adopted by the EDC on August 16, 2006 The Introduction in the attached Economic Development Strategic Plan summarizes the purpose of and need for the implementation of an economic development plan in and for the City. The attached proposed budget for the 5-year implementation of the Plan reflects maximum investment. However, it is anticipated that the successful implementation of the Plan can be achieved for a lower cost than is specified in the proposed budget. For example, instead of hiring a full-time assistant in the first year, a part-time assistant would likely meet the needs, complemented by existing staff. Reauested Action Staff requests Council review and discuss the Economic Development Strategic Plan . before returning it to a regular Council meeting for action. .

I . ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: Octobcr 20, 2006 Agenda Item 4.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: Clay Larson, Chair, Propclty Maintenance Codc Task Group SUBJECT: International Propcrty Maintenance Code CC: Karen Barton, Community Development Director . Jcrry Filla, City Attorney Request To recommcnd adoption of the property maintenance code to thc City Council. Background The City Council requestcd that a committee be formed to research the adoption of a property maintenance code to help maintain property values in the City of Arden Hills. A committee was formed comprised of residents, Planning Commission membcrs, and City Staff. Members included Dave Monson, Roberta Thompson, Chuck Mertcnsotto, David Grant, David Sands, Clayton Larson, Lyle Samela, Larry BrodIe, Dave Scherbel, and Bcverly Aplikowski. The committee met on four occasions to review and discuss various property maintenance codes, including those adopted by thc surrounding cities. Several years ago, the I-35W Corridor Coalition formed a committce to rccommend a property maintenance code for adoption by membcrs of the 1-35W Corridor Coalition. One of the goals of City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meetingfor November I, 200n . \\Mctro-inet.us\ardenhills\Building\Memos\IPMC planning commission memo.DOC Page 1 of2 ; the 1-35 Corridor Coalition was to have uniform enforcement of the property maintcnance codes . through out the Coalition. That committee was comprised of City Staff and consultants from the seven city members of the I-35W Corridor Coalition. The property maintenance code ultimately chosen by the committee was the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). Since that time, our neighboring cities to the south, Roseville, and to the northwest, Mounds View, have adopted the International Property Maintenance code. While all of the property maintenance codes for the various communities are similar, the Arden Hills .committee opted to select the IPMC since it had been dcveloped nationally, was subjected to a vast mount of scrutiny, and has withstood numerous challenges, Additionally, the IPMC is also coordinated with the state building codes, and is owned and published by the International Code Council (ICC), which also publishes the International Codes adopted by the City of Arden Hills. The committee found that the Roseville adoption process of the IPMC to be particularly appealing and invited the Roseville Building Official to come to a meeting to discuss how the PPMC is currently working for Roseville. After reviewing the IPMC and obtaining positive feedback about its adoption in other cities, the committee has decided to recommend adopting the IPMC with minimal amendments. Attached are the recommendcd amendments to the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code (lPMC) . and a copy of the 2006 IPMC as published by the International Code Council. Recommendation The property maintenance committee is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the IPMC for adoption by the City and recommend that the Code be adopted by the City Council. The task force is also requesting that the Commission consider and make recommendation as to what extent they wish the IPMC to be enforced. The task force recommends that the new LPMC be used as an additional tool for code enforcement. The general consensus of the task force was that proactive neighborhood swe~ps are not needed at this time, but may be considered in the future, with the realization that increased cnforcement will crcate additional costs for the City.

While that seems like a distant date, the comprehensive planning process can take a considerable amount of time and effort to produce a quality, useable product. Over the last several months, Karen Barton and I have been attending training sessions at the Metropolitan Council to learn about the information requirements and analyses that must be included with the updated Plan. The Comprehensive Plan helps set the stage for what residents and businesses want the City of . Arden Hills to look like and how the City should function in the next 10, 20, and 30 years. Just as important, the Plan helps all of us understand the role that Arden Hills plays in the metropolitan region. The Comprehensive Plan is an extremely important document that will require a considerable amount of staff time and resources as well as community involvement. The attached schedule is preliminary and is certainly subject to change. In addition to the technical requirements that will largely be completed behind the scenes, the Plan schedule incorporates a significant amount of time for community input and opportunities public involvement. We are also working with our consultants and the Metropolitan Council to determine exactly how the TCAAP development process should be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan update process. As Staff gathers more information, we will bring it to the Planning Commission to keep you up to date. . Page I of 1 , .. ...

Created: August 8, 2006 . . ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 24,2006 PC Agenda Item 4.C TO: Planning Commission FROM: Karen Barton, Community Development Director SUBJECT: TCAAP Update In an effort to keep the Planning Commission up to speed with TCAAP events, I would like to provide you with a brief update. As you are aware, the City submitted a signed Offer to Purchase (OTP) and earnest money deposit on August 1,2006. This was a crucial deadline because the General Services Administration's (GSA) appraisal was set . to expire on that date. If the appraisal expired prior to our submitting a signed OTP, the GSA had stated that they would not seek a new appraisal and therefore, the property would be sold at public auction. The GSA must get Congressional approval of the OTP, which was originally required to oceur by November 1,2006. Presently, the GSA has requested an extension of that deadline to January 16,2007. The closing is anticipated to take place in the Fall of 2007. In the meantime, the Master Developer, CRR and the City have been working feverishly behind the scenes to get everything in place prior to closing: . CRR and the City have formed a team of consultants to refine the Master Development Plan (based on the Framework Vision), prepare the Traffic Study, Alternative Urban Areawide Review (ADAR), Landscape Architecture plans, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and PUD for the project. . The City is currently working with Ehlers and another consultant to determine eligibility of the property as a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) redevelopment district based on conditions of blight. . The City has contracted with Steve Bubul of Kennedy and Graven to prepare a Preliminary Development Agreement with CRR and expect to have one in place before the end of the year. . The City, CRR, the GSA, Army, MPCA, and EPA will be meeting November 7 and 8 to discuss the Finding of Suitability for Early Transfer (FOSET), Finding of Suitability for Transfer (FaST), and Response Action Agreement (RAA) documents, and begin negotiations for clean-up. . CRR is conducting additional characterization of the property and will be working with the City to contract for environmental insurance for the clean-up. Things have been moving fast and furiously over the past several months and will continue to throughout 2007. And as with any real estate deal, things are always tenuous right up until closing. We will keep you . posted as more information becomes available. But, of course, please feel free to call or email me anytime for an update or if you have questions. . ~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 24, 2006 PC Agenda Item S.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner SUBJECT: City Council Meeting Actions Regarding Recent Planning Cases The City Council held their meeting on October lOth, 2006. At this meeting, the City Council reviewed the following two planning cases: A. Planning Case 06-030; Variance; Brad & Sarah Lis; 1548 Arden Place B. Planning Case 06-029; Final Plat; Royal Oaks Realty; 1440-1450 West Highway 96 Plannin2: Case 06-030: Variance. Brad & Sarah Lis~ 1548 Arden Place . Although the Planning Commission had voted 6-0 to recommend denial of the variance requests, the City Council voted 3-1 to approve both variance requests. The first variance was to allow the crushed rock surface for the driveway to remain. The second variance was to allow the two access points to the public road to remain. The approval was subject to the condition that if the driveway is modified in the future, it should meet City standards. General maintenance for the driveway will be permitted. Plannin2: Case 06-029: Final Plat~ Roval Oaks Realtv~ 1440-1450 West Hi2:hwav 96 The City Council accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval and voted 2-1 to approve Planning Case 06-029 for the final plat of the "Arden Hills Office Park," The approval is subject to the six conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.

One ofthe conditions of the Royal Oaks Preliminary Plat in PC 06-023 was to vacate the 20 foot wide and 180 foot long pedestrian way in the center of the property. There is not a trail on the easement, and there are not any future plans for a trail on the easement. There is an existing trail along the western side of the property that will be dedicated to the City in the Royal Oaks Final Plat. The Council voted 3-0 to vacate the pedestrian walkway easement. Economic Development Strategic Plan The City Council heard a presentation from Bruce Kunkel, chair of the EDC, on the recently prepared Economic Development Strategic Plan. In order to review the information in the plan further, the Council voted to send the plan to a future work session.
