building height and density through the Planned Unit Development Process.
5. The height of the primary building would be 52 feet as calculated by City
Ordinance. The roof line variegates and the height of the building nearest to
adjacent properties would be 36 feet.
6. The existing density on site is 17.6 units per acre; the proposed density would be
18.2 units per acre.
7. In exchange for zoning flexibility, the Developer is proposing a number of items
which exceed the Zoning Code requirements, including, excess open space, tree
and perennial plantings, storm water treatment and management, increased
setbacks, enhanced design elements and building material quality.

8. The redevelopment of the Property pursuant to the approved PUD Agreement will
not create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole
because, the facility has operated on the site since 1955, the land use of the site is
not proposed to change, the quality of the development and site design features
will enhance the aesthetics of the site and surrounding area, the impacts on Lake
Johanna and water quality will be improved by increased storm water
management and setbacks to the lake.
9. The redevelopment of the Property is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan.
10. The Master Planned Unit Development and Final Planned Unit Development Plan
advance the City's goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan by promoting the
development of a variety of housing options by preserving and increasing
high quality housing opportunities that are suitable for a mix of ages, incomes and
household types; by encouraging the incorporation of affordable, life- cycle, and
work force housing where feasible; and by promoting the protection of lakes and
the natural environment.
11. The proposed redevelopment of the Property furthers the Metropolitan Council's
target of 285 -800 new life -cycle housing units by 2020 for the City.
12. The proposed redevelopment of the Property will not have a significant impact on
traffic because the site does not currently negatively impact traffic, and the
increase in 14 units would not have a noticeable effect on the immediate road
system.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Arden Hills City Council hereby approves
the Master and Final Planned Unit Development Plan for the Property provided that the property is
developed in compliance with the terms of the PUD Development Agreement for the Property.
