Council directs draft PUD agreements for Holiday Stationstores, Boston Scientific expansion and Veridian Credit Union
Summary
Council directed the city attorney to draft resolutions and planned unit development agreements for a new Holiday Stationstores at Village at Arbor Lakes, a 300,000 sq. ft. Phase II expansion for Boston Scientific, and a Veridian Credit Union site in Arbor Lakes; all motions passed unanimously.
The Maple Grove City Council on Jan. 20 directed the city attorney to draft resolutions and planned unit development (PUD) agreements for three development proposals: a 5,200-square-foot Holiday Stationstores convenience store with fuel sales in Village at Arbor Lakes; a 300,000-square-foot, four-story Phase II expansion to the Boston Scientific facility in the Minnesota Science & Technology Center; and a 3,062-square-foot Veridian Credit Union with drive-up kiosks on an Arbor Lakes outlot.
City Planner Jesse Corrow said the Holiday proposal requires an amendment to the existing concept plan due to the larger building footprint and that the applicant met minimum parking requirements. Kasner Sturm, representing Circle K/Holiday, said they are excited to bring the project to Maple Grove. The council voted to direct the city attorney to draft the necessary resolution and PUD agreement subject to typical departmental comments (motion by Councilmember Kristy Janigo, seconded by Councilmember Rachelle Johnson; carried 5-0).
Planning Manager Peter Vickerman presented the Boston Scientific Phase II concept, which would add lab, training, cafeteria and office space and expand the campus by roughly 32.6 acres; Boston Scientific representatives said construction could be completed by the end of 2028. Council directed the city attorney to draft the resolution and PUD agreement (motion by Councilmember Rachelle Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Jon McCullough; carried 5-0).
For the Veridian Credit Union proposal, Corrow noted the application is consistent with the comprehensive plan and meets city code; the council directed drafting of related resolutions and agreements with conditions on final platting (motion by Councilmember Mike Ostaffe, seconded by Councilmember Kristy Janigo; carried 5-0).
Councilmembers thanked applicants for investment and emphasized that final approvals are subject to addressing departmental comments and any Park and Recreation Board actions for park dedication.
