Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0. 11. #2616 Minnetonka Center for the Arts, 2240 North Shore Drive —Conditional Use Permit Weinberger stated that the Minnetonka Center for the Arts has proposed to construct a new facility on their property located at 2240 North Shore Drive.

The proposed building would be constructed north of the existing building, and upon completion, the old building would be removed. During construction, the existing building would remain in use until the new building is completed. The Planning Commission discussed the construction schedule and how the property would function during construction. They would want all construction traffic to use North Shore Drive and not any residential streets. The “cooling tower” requires a conditional use permit to allow it to exceed 30 feet in height. The Arts Center has proposed a crushed rock material for its parking lots, instead of a bituminous surface. A stormwater management pond would be located in the northwest comer of the property. The service entrance would be on the west side of the building, and trash receptacles would be screened. The east parking lot should be screened, and possibly fenced, to provide a buffer between it and the Hill School. Chair of the Building Committee Julie Halquist, Minnetrista, and Executive Director Roxanne Heeley, Plymouth, were present with their architect, James Dayton, and
