ROLL CALL: MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Jorgenson, Councilmember Barnette, Councilmember Billings, Councilmember Wolfe, and Councilmember Bolkcom MEMBERS ABSENT: None BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING: 1. BOARD OF REVIEW: Mayor Jorgenson explained that the Board of Review gives residents an opportunity to address Council with regard to their property taxes payable in the year 2000. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the Board of Review at 7:32 p.m. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE BOARD OF REVIEW WAS OPENED AT 7:32 P.M. Mr. Hervin, Assessor, explained that the Board of Review meeting was required by State Statutes and must be held in' April or May for taxes payable the following year. The Board has three possible courses of action that can be taken on a case including: 1) affirm the current value; 2) reduce the value based on evidence presented; or 3) increase the value based on evidence presented. Anoka County requires that the sales ratio be between 94 percent and 95 percent based on sales from previous years. This year basic structure values increased by approximately seven percent, with many increases in the range of ten percent to twelve percent. The average sale price in Fridley has gone from $106,000 in 1998 to $115,700 this year. Mr. Hervin briefly summarized the appeal process. He noted that one resident had cor�tacted him and was present to discuss his case with Council. Mr. Gary Wellner, owner of property at 5361-5371-5373 Sixth Street stated that he closed on a sales transaction for these properties in February 1999 at a value far less than the assessed value. He stated that the increase in value which is being proposed is fourteen percent, which he felt was an abhorrently high increase. One of the comparables, which was identified for his property, was sold in March 1998. He drove by the property and noted that the structure was comparable; however, the property does have a garage that his property does not have. The value of his property that was agreed upon at the time of the sales transaction was $129,275, FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 12,1999 PAGE 2 which was certified by the closer. If the ratio were roughly 94 percent to 95 percent of the value, it would be less than the � 129,275. He felt that raising the value to $141,000 was too much. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Mr. Hervin could arrange to meet with Mr. Wellner to go over the comparables used and other pertinent information. Mr. Hervin stated that he would be happy to do so. Mr. Hervin noted that Mr. Wellner's rental property was situated on two lots and that there was a substantial increase in the land value this year. Councilmember Billings noted that Mr. Wellner indicated he tried to market his property in 1998 and asked at �vhat price he had marketed the property. Mr. Wellner stated that they tried to market the property at $83,500, but it did not sell. In the past five months he did a tremendous amount of work on the property. The transaction, which took place in February, was a far greater indication of the value than based on a comparable. Councilmember Billings suggested that Mr. Wellner be prepared to provide proof that the value of the property was less than what has been assessed if in fact he would like to have the value reduced. MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to continue the Board of Review to the April 26, 1999 meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANINIOUSLY.

As a resident whose property abuts the subject property, he was not ever notified of the proposed improvements. In the past, when Onan has applied for special use permits, the affected residents in Mounds View were always notified. He noted that one of his concerns was that some of the FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 12,1999 PAGE 8 trailers on the Onan property were not being parked on paved surfaces, which is a requirement. He believed that the residents should have been notified so that they could have reviewed the project and offered feedback on the development. Mayor Jorgenson noted that the notice of public hearing was published in Focus News: however, it may be that the same publication did not go out to some of the affected area (i.e. Mounds View). She noted that Ms. bacy spoke with Ms. Amundsen earlier, and staff tried to determine where the communication lapse took place. Staff believed that a letter was sent to the City of Mounds View; however, staff at Mounds View claims that they never received it. Mr. Amundsen stated that to date he has not received any information about this development. As a resident, his major concerns related to safety in the area. The traffic along 69`'' Avenue and County Road H tends to travel above the posted speeds. With Sunnyside Elementary School at Sunnyside Road and County Road H, there was concern for the elementary students in the area. He was also concerned about how the green space would be treated between the industrial area and residential area. He asked why the same process that was used to notify the residents of the special use permits for Onan, was not used this time. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, acknowledged that there was indeed a breakdown in communication which she apologized for. She stated that staff would be happy to meet with residents at a special neighborhood meeting within the next seven to ten days to address the issues and questions raised by residents. It would also be helpful to have a representative of Murphy Warehouse present at that meeting to address some of the safety concerns raised by residents. She stated she would take appropriate action with regard to the trailers that were not parked on a paved surface, if it is required per the license. With regard to the City's compliance with legal requirements, Ms. Dacy stated she believed that the City had complied with the legal requirements of the law regarding the subdivision ordinance. A notice of public hearing was published in Focus News, which is the official publication for Fridley. Additionally, staff notified the affected residents of Fridley. She noted that the State Statutes say that failure of a resident to receive notice shall not negate the validity of the public hearing. The City's intent was to notify all affected property owners; however, in this case, the letter was never received. Ms. Dacy explained that the cleanup funds which the City is making application for would correct and improve the soil so that the land is buildable, thus making the property into a taxable parcel. She believed that the Rice Creek Watershed District reviewed the plans and that Onan/Murphy Warehouse had obtained their approval. She further stated she that believed Onan had obtained the grading permit from the Engineering Division. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Knaak, City Attorney; if Council could legally stop any further action on the property until the residents have had an opportunity to meet with staff and have their questions and concerns addressed. Mr. Knaak responded that the State Statute requires that affected residents be individually notified, but specifically states that failure to do so was not a defect in the subsequent hearing, and it would not render the hearing invalid. Therefore, the City has complied with all of the requirements for the public hearing. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 12 1999 PAGE 9 Mayor Jorgenson stated that she was concerned about the thoughts and concerns of all affected property owners, not just those in Fridley. However, stopping any further action on this property could put the City at risk for possible legal action as all of the requirements have been met. Ms. Dacy stated that staff's recommendation was that Council approve the resolutions with a stipulation that additional right of way be created on the mylars. Councilmember Billings stated that he would be much more comfortable seeing the mylars in their �final form with the right of way as it is supposed to be before approving the plat. MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table the resolution approving Plat, PS-98-04, by N. G. Nelson, Onan Corporation, to Replat Property to Accommodate the Development of a Warehousing Facility, Generally Located at 1400-73`d Avenue N.E., until the Apri126, 1999 City Council meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEl�IBERS VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Billings asked Ms. Dacy what rights or obligations the City has to prevent someone from removing trees and doing grading work on their property. Ms. Dacy stated that the City does not have the authority to prevent a property owner from removing trees on his property. Grading/excavating work does require a land alteration permit, which she believes Onan had made an application for. Mr. Roger Adair, 3049 County Road H, stated that trees had been removed from the subject property within two feet of his property line. Many years ago when he built his home, a question was raised as to who a 25 foot strip of property directly behind him even belonged to. He wondered how it ended up being part of the Onan property. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that he had not heard this issue raised at all during the entire platting process. Ms. Dacy stated that a plat was the best instrument used to identify boundaries of properties. She presented a diagram of the subject area. Mr. Adair stated that at the time of the dispute, Onan did not claim to own the property, and it was not included in their title. He noted that the Onan sign was placed twenty to thirty feet away from his property line, which would not have been done if that was indeed Onan property. Mr. Knaak stated that Council must rely on the information from the registered plat, which was completed by a registered surveyor. He suggested that Mr. Adair hire his own surveyor if he had a dispute over the location of the property line. Mayor Jorgenson apologized to the Mounds View residents for failing to accomplish the City's intent to notify all affected property owners.

RESOLUTION NO. 29-1999 ADOPTING A FINAL ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW ENVIRONNIENTAL ANALYSIS DOCUMENT AND MITIGATION PLAN FOR THE MEDTRONIC INC. CAMPUS (FRIDLEY LAKE POINTE CENTER) AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF I-694 AND HIGHWAY 65 (,WARD 1): Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that she was pleased to present a resolution adopting the final AUAR and Mitigation Plan by the City of Fridley for the Medtronic Corporate Campus for Council approval. Ms. Dacy noted that the AUAR (Alternative Urban Areawide Review) is an alternative form of environmental review. It evaluated a variety of environmental issues for a specific area of the community. The mitigation plan was a section of the document, that identified mitigation measures that are designed to avoid or reduce the environmental impact. State law prescribes the AUAR process, and the City was the Responsible Governmental Unit to oversee the process. The City is also responsible for adoption of the final AUAR and mitigation FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 12, 1999 _ PAGE 12 plan. Ms. Dacy noted that consultants were hired to act as the City's environmental legal counsel, to review a traffic analysis performed by SRF Consulting Group, and to review the noise and air quality analysis. The draft AUAR was distributed to a list of agencies and libraries as required by the State law. Additionally, a public infortnational meeting was held on February 4, 1999. The EQEC reviewed the draft AUAR on January 19, and the Planning Commission reviewed it on February 3. It was also sent to a number of agencies for their comments. After the comment period ended on February 10, 1999, there were changes made to the draft which Ms. Dacy outlined in a memorandum included in the agenda packet. The Mitigation Plan identified areas where there could be potential impact. The law requires that these measures be identified to avoid or reduce the environmental impact. Six areas were identified — traffic, surface water, wastewater, air quality, noise and trails. Ms. Dacy briefly summarized the means by which these impacts could be avoided or lessened. Ms. Dacy noted that she failed to include Exhibit A, which identifies the study area in the agenda packet. Additionally, a letter from the Minnesota Department of Transportation was received well after the comment period ended. However, Ms. Dacy stated that she would like to have this letter received into the record. Ms. Dacy noted that Mr. Don Hagmann of Medtronic was in the audience to answer any questions that Council may have. Councilmember Billings noted that the AUAR refers to trafiic patterns on the site and in the adjacent neighborhoods. The major issues addressed by the Planning Commission were in re�ard to the potential connection between Jackson Street and Quincy Street on what is currently Carrie Lane and how it should be resolved. This was of concern 'to him as well. Some of the area residents were particularly concerned about screening. He received telephone calls about the potential means that traffic may be using to get in and out of the neighborhood. The residents on 58`" Avenue and Madison Streets were concerned, as they may be outside the 350-foot notice area. Yet, their neighborhoods may be greatly impacted by traffic. He asked that staff be prepared to examine how both the screening and the connection may be accomplished examining all reasonable possibilities. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she also has received telephone calls from residents outside the notification area. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if all potential residents can be notified of the April 26 meeting rather than just the immediate neighborhood. Ms. Dacy stated that this could be done.

PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF VACATION REQUEST SAV #99- 02. BY DAVID PEARSON: Per Section 211.07.21 of the Fridley Zoning Code, to vacate a 5-foot utility easement, and then grant a 10-foot utility easement on Lot 2, Block 2, Brookview 2"d Addition, generally located at 1015 Mississippi Street MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner, Mr. Pearson, is requesting that the City vacate the current five-foot utility easement along the rear property line at 1015 Mississippi Street, and then grant a 12-foot utility easement along the back edge of that property. The purpose of the easement is to provide utilities to a recently created lot at 6526 Brookview Drive. Mr. Bolin stated the home at 1015 Mississippi Street was built in 1951. The home has structural problems. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) purchased the site in the spring 1998. The home was removed in July 1998. The code requires a utility easement of 12 feet along rear property lines when an alley is not present. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of the utility easement vacation and rededication. The 12-foot easement is necessary to provide utilities to the neighboring property. The lot split which crEated the lot on Brookview Drive was approved by the City Council in November 1998. The property owner to the north of the new lot will not grant an easement for the utilities; therefore, it is necessary to come across the City's lot. By going through this process, the City's lot will then be in conformance with the required City codes for having a 12-foot easement. Mr. Kondrick asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors. Mr. Bolin stated he had received one call from a citizen who wanted to know what the utility easement/vacation was. - Mr. Kuech(e asked if this would create any problems with the offset of the easements. Easemenfs are normally 5 feet on either side of the property line and this will be 12-feet on one side. Mr. Bolin stated that once it gets across the City's property, then the easements will be fine the rest of the way. Mr. Hickok stated the new house that will be built at 6526 Brookview Drive will be able to cut at a diagonal to get to the utilities if necessary. That offset of 10 feet on one lot and 12 feet on the next will not cause problems. Mr. Kuechle asked if this is also true on the west side. 1.02 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 3 Mr. Hickok stated the change from 12 feet to 10 feet should not create any issues. He did not believe that the piat that is west of this development has an easement on it at all. Mr. Pearson stated he is the petitioner looking to create a new property on 6526 Brookview Drive. He thought it would be an improvement to the property. A 1,000 square foot home will be built on the lot. He hopes that the request is approved. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:39 P.M. Mr. Kondrick stated he did not see a problem with the request. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to recommend approval of Vacation Request, SAV #99-02, by David Pearson, to vacate a 5-foot utility easement, and then grant a 10-foot utility easement on Lot 2, Block 2, Brookview 2"d Addition, generally located at 1015 Mississippi Street. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Bolin stated the request would be considered by the City Council on April 26. 2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF S-2 REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PROJECT PLAN_APPROVAL. MPA #99-01. BY MEDTRONIC INC.: To consider projecUmaster plan approval for a corporate office campus up to 1,600,000 square feet in size, generally located at Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive. 3. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF PLAT REQUEST PS #99-01 BY MEDTRONIC. INC.: To create Fridley Executive Center 2"d Addition. The plat creates two lots, one of which is for development of 460,000 square feet of corporate office space and supporting facilities. The remaining lot is to be legally described as Fridley Executive Center Outlot A and is not proposed for development at this time, generally located at Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive. 4. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF VACATION REQUEST SAV #99- 01. BY MEDTRONIC. INC.: To vacate a poition of Carrie Lane, Jackson Street, and Quincy Street which abut 5665, 5664, 5674, and 5675 Jackson Street and 5665 Quincy Street in order to reconstruct Bridgewater Drive, generally located at CaRie Lane. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to waive the reading of the public hearing notices and to open the public hearing. 1.03 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 4 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:41 P.M. Ms. Dacy stated Medtronic, Inc. has filed these requests for their worid headquarters campus at the no�thwest corner of I-694 and Highway 65. Medtronic has filed five applications. Her presentation will go through the staff analysis and reports for the master plan, the preliminary plat and the street vacation. After the Planning Commission has made a recommendation to the City Council, staff will then review the requests for a zoning text amendment and the special use permit. The Community Development Depa�tment compiles the comments from all of the City's departments; in this case, the Police Department, Fire Department, Engineering, and Building Division in making a repo�t to the Planning Commission and, ultimately, to the City Council. Ms. Dacy stated the first request is for approval of the master plan. The purpose of the master plan is to create a guide plan for the corporate office campus. There are four elements that will be part of this campus: 1. The worldwide corporate headquarters; 2. A research and development center located on the development; 3. An education center where there will be a number of physicians and clients that will come to Fridley and go to this center to learn more about the petitioner's business and products; and 4. Facilities to house the neuro part of the business which will be in addition to an existing facility in Columbia Heights. Ms. Dacy stated that, in addition, the petitianer is indicating about 1 million square feet of corporate office space is anticipated for the site. However, the environmental review process (AUAR) analyzed the impacts of up to 1.6 million square feet of development on the site. The AUAR assumed there would be build-out over the next decade in about 400,000 square foot increments. At the last HRA meeting, the HRA made a determination and motion to recommend to the Planning Commission and the City Council that this proposed development is consistent with the City's redevelopment plan. Ms. Dacy stated Phase 1 is proposed to encompass six buildings on the eastem half of the site. The corporate headquarters building will have the administrative offices for fiF�e company. The building will have four floors, approximately 138,000 square feet, and the overall height of the building will be approximately 85 feet. The neuro building is proposed to be 128,000 square feet on three floors, and approximately 70 feet in heighf. The term penthouse refers to the area where the mechanical equipment is enclosed. The research building is just under 61,000 square feet on three floors, with an approximately height of 55 feet. The education building will also be three floors and approximately 55 feet in height. The campus commons building will be approximately 40 feet and will house the support types of uses including the cafeteria, auditorium, fitness center and information resource center. The central plant facility is the building which will contain the central heating and cooling equipment for the campus. Overal0 height of this structure will be 40 feet with a rooftop screen for the equipment. 1.04 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 5 Ms. Dacy stated a parking ramp is also proposed with six floors proposed, two of which will be below grade. The structure will contain about 1,000 parking stalls proposed at 8.5 feet wide x 18 feet deep. The size of the spaces is the topic of one of the public hearings. Approximately 160-200 spaces will be on each floor of the parlcing structure. There is one small parking lot just to the west of the central plant with about 12 spaces. In order to serve the additional development on the site, two additional parking ramps will need to be constructed in Phases II and III. Ms. Dacy stated the site is served by two existing streets — Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Parkway along the north side of the site. The petitioner is proposing to remove the existing streets and construct a two-lane divided parkway that would extend from 7�' Street on the west to Highway 65 on the east. It would widen out to about four lanes to account for turning movements in the area of West Moore Lake Drive and at Highway 65. In essence, it is a two-lane parkway. There will be a median down the center, and the petitioner has been coordinating with the engineering staff to identify the minimum lane widths in accordance with Municipal State Aid standards. Ms. Dacy stated the building exterior at this point would be brick or cut stone. The architectural details would be traditional in style. The petitioner will present an elevation. Accent areas may contain a metal panel trim. The roofing materials may include a standing seam metal or a faux slate. The construction will be fire resistant and will have to meet fire code sprinkling requirements. Ms. Dacy stated the proposed lighting plan indicates 20-foot tall poles along the parkway in the median and 30-foot tall poles on top of the parking stn�cture. Kim lights are proposed. For a sense of scale, the light poles at the Municipal Center ramp are about 30 feet tall. Ms. Dacy stated a detailed signage plan has not been submitted. Entrance monuments are contemplated. There is a stipulation regarding the suggestion of details on that plan. Mr. Dacy stated the landscaping plan is quite extensive. Six hundred and eighteen trees and neariy 100 shrubs are proposed as part of the Phase 1 construction. The parkway will be lined with linden trees. Crab appfe trees will be located in the median. Red oaks and maples are also proposed around the campus. Ms. Dacy stated the grading and utility plans will use the existing facilities that are on the site for water and sewer services. Two ponds are proposed at the east end of the site for storm water treatment and run off. The east half of the site is under the jurisdiction of the Rice Creek Watershed. Their approval must be obtained prior to any work on the site. Ms. Dacy stated staff recommends approval subject to the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall construct the proposed development in accordance with the Master Plan labeled as "Master Site Plan", C101, and dated March 10, 1999.

For the Series V Cooling Tower (Model No. VTI-1125-P), a minimum of 4 decibels of attenuation is required to achieve compliance with applicable standards. c. Consider extension of the screen walls 1 to 2 feet above the top of the cooling tower if this can be accomplished without danger of re-ingestion of exhaust air into the intake. d. Consent to noise monitoring of constructed cooling towers as deemed necessary by the City and reimburse the City for noise monitoring costs. e. Agree to modify cooling tower equipment or construct additional screening if noise monitoring documents that actual sound levels generated by the central plan exceed state noise standards. 1.07 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 8 14. A detailed lighting plan for the development, including the street and parking structure lights, shall be submitted prior to issuance of the first building/shell permit. The height of the light standards on Bridgewater Drive shall not exceed twenty feet, and the height of the standards on the top level of the parking structure shall not exceed thirty feet. 15. The petitioner shall comply with the requirements of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's Redevelopment Contract. 16. Multi-level parking structures shall be constructed with each phase of the development. The ramp for Phase I shall be constructed with two levels below grade. 17. The following circumstances shall be deemed as a"substantial change" and require additional review by the Planning Commission with final approval by the City Council: a. Increase in building square footage beyond 1,600,000 square feet; b. Increase in building height beyond 10 stories; c. Increase in parking structure height above the parking structure in Phase I; d. Changes in building usage other than permitted in Master Plan and the HRA's Redevelopment Contract. e. Any change that does not meet the City and HRA approved conditions and stipulations pertaining to the development. Ms. Dacy stated the second request is for approval of the preliminary plat. The purpose of the prefiminary plat request is to create the 22-acre lot for Phase I. Lot 1 is on the east half of the site, is approximately 22 acres, and would contain the six buildings described above. Outlot A would be retained in ownership by the HRA. Outlot B would remain as an outlot as it is now for the storm pond at the southwest part of West Moore Lake Drive. Proposed Outlot C is suggested to create an outlot around the existing trees and vegetation along the south lot line of those homes and that outlot be maintained by the petitioner. Between Outlot C and Outlot A would be the right-of-way for the proposed parkway. - Ms. Dacy stated staff recommends approval of the plat application subject to the following stipulations: The petitioner shall provide a minimum right-of-way width of 90 feet for Bridgewater Drive, east of the west right-of-way of Quincy Street, and dedicate as right-of-way the land south of Lots 12, 16, Block 11 and Lot 9, Block 5, Donnays Lakeview Manor Addition. 2. The petitioner shall provide a minimum Bridgewater Parkway right-of-way width of 66 feet, while also providing an outlot for the planted area, north of Bridgewater Parkway, west of the west right-of-way line of Quincy Street. 1.08 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 9 3. The petitioner shall ciose the Lake Pointe Drive connection to 7�' Street or provide "Road Closed" and/or °Dead End" signage. 4. The petitioner shall recognize that all utilities outside the Bridgewater Drive or 7�' Street rights-of-way become a private system to be owned and maintained by Medtronic. 5. The petitioner shall repair and maintain imgation system for the entire site. 6. The petitioner shall copy the City on all storm water submittals to the Rice Creek Watershed District including, but not limited to, plans, calculations and narratives. 7. The petitioner shall provide Storm Pond Maintenance Agreement for all ponds within the site. 8. The petitioner shall pay park dedication fees in the amount of $44,522.48, prior to issuance of Phase I building permits. 9. The petitioner shall construct Bridgewater Drive from 7�' Street to Highway 65 as part of Phase 1 construction according to plans submitted as part of this application and shall comply with the Municipal State Aid construction standards. 10. The petitioner shall install an 8-foot bikeway/walkway from 7�' Street to Highway 65 along the north side of Bridgewater Drive. Connections to the neighborhood to the north shall be made to Quincy Street and from Jackson Street. 11. The petitioner shall recognize and be responsible for providing a separate easement agreement where bikewaylwalkways are not located within the public right-of-way. 12. A pavement stripe or other readily visible means of identifications shall be provided on the surface of Bridgewater Parkway to allow a pedestrian crossing. 13. The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining the ground cover and landscaping in the median and the boulevards in the parkway as well as maintaining the landscaped area around Quincy and Jackson Streets. 14. The petitioner shall record an easement agreement permitting emergency vehicle access on the site including access to fire hydrants. Ms. Dacy stated the purpose of the street vacation request is to vacate a portion of Carrie Lane between Jackson and Quincy Streets. The parkway is proposed to be realigned to eliminate the existing reverse curve. It creates a safe and straighter alignment; however, it does require the removal of six homes and the existing storm pond. The houses to be removed are the last house on the east side of Quincy Street, the last two houses on the west side of Jackson Street, and the last three houses on the east side of Jackson Street. 1.09 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 10 Ms. Dacy stated the original direction to the petitioner when they submitted the master plan was to maintain the existing street pattem and reconstruct what was out there today. A neighborhood meeting was conducted on March 3, 1999, which presented two options. What had happened was that seven owners were originally proposed for acquisition. The seventh owner did not indicate a willingness to sell. When the petitioner submitted the plans on February 12, 1999, the plans showed Jackson and Quincy Streets as a cul-de-sac and a dead-end respectively. As a result of that submission, staff scheduled a neighborhood meeting to discuss the two options. Option 1 would keep Jackson and Quincy as dead ends. Option 2 would propose to connect the two streets. At that meeting, the people attending completed a survey. As a result of 25 responses received, 13 preferred Option 1, 11 preferred Option 2, and one preferred to leave the road as it is. Ms. Dacy reviewed the options. Option 1 proposed Quincy Street would dead- end at the southwest corner of what was the seventh lot proposed for acquisition. Just to the south of that point there is a fairly steep slope but it is not steep enough that a retaining wall is required. Jackson Street would have a cul-de-sac. Ms. Dacy stated Option 2 would connect the two streets. The existing width of the roadways on Quincy and Jackson is 40 feet wide. A 24-foot wide roadway would connect them. Because of the slopes, a retaining wall would have to be constructed. In both situations, a bikeway/walkway access can be installed to the street. Ms. Dacy stated that when staff completed their analysis, they solicited comments from other departments and looked at the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Tne advantage of Option 1 is that it allows room for installation of trees and shrubs. There is no change in police service. It does create privacy for the homeowners in that area. The disadvantage is that it does create a dead-end that is not preferable from a fire safety standpoint. They have to back the vehicles out as opposed to having a turn around. It does eliminate the existing street pattern and eliminates the efficiency of the existing snowplow route. It removes the state-aid street status from that particular roadway. Ms. Dacy stated the advantage of Option 2 is that it does maintain the street pattem and the neighborhood continuity. It is an efficient route for police and fire services and maintains the route for snow plowing and school bus service. The disadvantage is that it does create the necessity for a retaining wall that eliminates the area for additional trees and shrubs to help screen the development. Because the pavement width narrows from 40 feet to 24 feet, it does create some tight curves and the road width does not match what is there now. Both options create bikeway/walkway connections to the trail. Ms. Dacy stated staff recommends approval based on Option 2 that is to connect the two streets. Staff feels that is the preferable option in terms of maintaining the traffic continuity, police, fire and snow plowing services. Staff recommends the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall reconstruct Carrie Lane as depicted in Option 2. 1.10 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 11 2. The petitioner shall dedicate right-of-way for reconstructed Carrie Lane as shown in the preliminary piat submittal. 3. The petitioner shall submit a final landscape and imgation plan to be approved by the City prior to issuance of the first building permit. 4. The petitioner shall submit a final construction plan to the City Engineering Department for review and approval prior to demolition of existing Carrie Lane. 5. The petitioner shall maintain all landscaped areas around reconstructed Carrie Lane. Ms. Dacy stated that while the stipulations seem significant, many are routine stipulations. However, there are number of stipulations that are unique to the development. Ms. Savage asked staff to describe the retaining wall. Mr. Dacy stated the retaining wall could extend as tall as 11 feet, 2-3 feet of which would extend above the elevation of the reconstructed roadway for Carrie Lane. Mr. Kondrick stated there are dangers of a car going over the edge of the retaining wall or a child climbing up and falling off the wall. What protections would be in place? Ms. Dacy stated that was part of the reason for the extension of the wall 2-3 feet above the roadway. The extension would act as a guardrail. The good news about the connection is that, because of the curve and pavement narrows, it wilFslow down the traffic. The radius is tight. If there was more land area available, there could be more of a sweeping curve but this gets the job done. Mr. Kondrick stated he was still concerned about children climbing on the wall. Two to three feet is not very tall. Ms. Dacy stated the existing condition today is one where the existing homes are eight to ten feet higher than the site. Some of the same concems exist today. Mr. Kondrick asked if there would be a way to make the wall taller or to make it less troublesome or accident-prone. The streets are good in the summer. In this case there is a 24-foot street. What about the wintertime and snow plowing? Can we get police and fire vehicles through there? Ms. Dacy stated, yes. That was part of the reason staff spent a lot of time with members of other departments and evaluated the options. Snow plowing vehicles and fire vehicles can get around these curves. Mr. Kuechle stated staff had talked about noise from the cooling towers. He asked if staff had any data on how loud they might be. 1.11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 12 Ms. Dacy stated, yes. The petitioner and the City's noise consultant completed sound tests and identified how loud the cooling towers are 126 feet from the north lot line, compared that to state standards. With the sound and attenuation wall at the top of the facility, the decibels emanating from the plant will be in compliance and below state noise standards. Mr. Sielaff stated the storm water would be discharged into the lake. Is that permitted by Rice Creek? Ms. Dacy stated, yes. Mr. Sielaff asked if that would be an appropriate place to put in monitoring requirements. Baseline monitoring has already been discussed. Will there be monitoring later also? Ms. Dacy stated that in response to the Planning Commission's earlier comment in Febn.�ary, the City will be working with the Anoka Conservation District to do a baseline test of the lake and then track that over time. Because there are so many developments tributary to Moore Lake, in this particular case, she believed this was a function more appropriate for the City. Mr. Sielaff asked how they determine the parameters of monitoring, frequency of sampling, etc. Ms. Dacy stated the parameters would be the same as Springbrook Nature Center. They will also review that with the Rice Creek Watershed District to be sure that they are analyzing the right things. The watershed district people would recommend the f�equency. Mr. Saba asked if the baseline was already established. Ms. Dacy stated the watershed district had some data that was done by a volunteer for some type of doctoral analysis four or five years ago. That may be too long ago and they may want to update that. The DNR does not have any data. Mr. Kondrick stated that as he understands this, they are talking about utilizing space that six homes now occupy. He had also heard seven houses were involved. If seven or more homes had been absorbed, would the street configuration have been better'? Ms. Dacy stated the number proposed was seven. The need to expand the site area was to create a straighter alignment along the north side of the side. On the existing aerial photo, the street pattern was set up for a typical suburban development with an office park development with commercial uses on Highway 65. The first curve west of Highway 65 is the reverse curve described earlier. The new alignment creates a more efficient land use pattern, creates a straighter alignment for the parkway design, and creates the impression of a low speed roadway. The area of the taking is in the area of the reverse curve and is extended at the easterly portion of the site. 1.12 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 13 Ms. Savage asked if it is not contemplated that there would be more than the six houses involved. Ms. Dacy stated that is correct. As part of the applications, six owners signed a letter authorizing Medtronic to act on their behalf as part of these applications. Ms. Savage stated she thought staff was indicating that it would have been preferable to remove seven houses. Ms. Dacy stated, yes. The original direction was to recreate the street pattem in the neighborhood. The additional land area means that the pavement widths could be matched with less of a steep grade and more area for screening. Mr. Sielaff asked if the current proposal is considered Phase I. Ms. Dacy stated, yes. The east half of the site is Phase I. The approval on the master plan is stating that up to 1.6 million square feet of development will occur on the property, and the Planning Commission is approving a specific plan for Phase I. Phase I totals approximately 462,000 square feet. Phase II would be just to the west and would include a parking structure and buildings. Phase III also includes a parking structure and additional buildings. Mr. Hagman stated he is the Director of Real Estate facilities and was present on behalf of Medtronic, Inc., to talk about their commitment and enthusiasm for this project. They have been working hard over the last eight months or so. They believe that this development has the potential to be a win/win situation. It is a plus for the metropolitan planning, for the State of Minnesota, the County. From an urban planning standpoint, it has great potential. It also has the opportunity to become an icon for the north sector of I-694 much like 3M in Woodbury, the Carlson Center on I-494 in Plymouth. They think this facility will be world class facility. As Medtronic grows, they are glad they can do that in Fridley. Mr. Hagman stated this option is a win situation for Medtronic. They have looked at other options around other parts of tMe City as well as other communities. Although there were less costly alternatives out there, they believed this would be a real advantage for them. Medtronic has 10 facilities in the Minneapolis/St. Cloud area with approximately 4,900 employees. From a demographic standpoint, the location of this site fits very well as far as getting to and from these facilities. They are very much centralized in the north suburban area. This site does a very nice job in. helping them look into the future to develop. Mr. Hagman stated they felt this was the best option for the City and for the area. He is a resident of the City and he has looked at some of the other options proposed by other developers. He feels the option of a wortd class campus is a positive altemative for everyone involved. The site has had its challenges for them from an investment standpoint, and yet they are willing to go forward with this. The need for the density they would like and the City requires the structured parking. They are working with that. 1.13 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 14 The soil conditions have posed some chalienges on the east end of the site. The extensive redesign of the roadway, the iRigation, the trees all require a lot of attention to the site. Through the process, they tried to be respectful to the neighborhood. They spent a lot of time on that and talked about that. Medtronic feels very strongly about it. He showed an architectural rendering of the project. Mr. Hagman stated the tallest building will be four stories using Minnesota materials with natural stone and brick. It resembles a college campus. They feel this campus will speak to what Medtronic is all about. They have gone further than the master plan into a schematic design showing the actual architecture to provide a traditional kind of look to the campus. The main building is a round four-story structure. Around that facility will be the educational facility and the research facility. Medtronic feels their success is due to the amount of attention they put into research. They put 11 % of their revenues into research, which is very high compared to other corporations. On the other side is the education center where they being in people from all over the wo�ld where they are trained in the new technology. He also provided a model for viewing. Mr. Hagman stated they are very proud of this. He hoped that the City, the neighborhood, and the State gain the enthusiasm that they have for the project. Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problem with the stipulations as presented by staff. Mr. Hagman stated that, in general, they are okay. For future phases, some stipulations are nebulous. In general, what will happen is unclear at this point as far as exact sizes, etc. Mr. Oquist asked if the Phase II and Phase III areas will be maintained by Medtronic while it is in its current form. Mr. Hagman stated he thought the irrigation would continue to run, but the City is still responsible for the lawn. Ms. Dacy stated the west half would become Outlot A which would still be owned by the HRA. _ Mr. Oquist asked what would happen if the HRA received a good offer. Ms. Dacy stated the redevelopment contract that is established provides option rights to Medtronic. The bigger Phase I is, the longer the amount of time Medtronic has the ability to come to the City for their Phase II. With the square footage proposed, they would have option rights to at least the year 2006. Mr. Sielaff asked if the only involvement of the Planning Commission for Phase II and Phase III would be a special use permit. Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission involvement would be through the plat application process. 1.14 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 15 Mr. Oquist stated that in the concept drawing, the drive shown would be a driveway rather than a street. Is that correct? Mr. Hagman stated the best way to describe this wouid be an entrance for visitors. The majority of the access in and out of the site will be in and out of the parking ramps that are to the north. Mr. Oquist asked if Medtronic would be responsible for maintaining that driveway. Mr. Hagman stated this is correct. Mr. Sielaff asked that on the plan, are there large ponds at the east portion of the site? Ms. Dacy stated, yes. Mr. Young stated that Mr. Kondrick had asked about house acquisition, and Ms. Dacy had stated that Medtronic had asked to acquire seven homes. He did not remember the date that this first came before the City Council, but he had been told by two members of the Fridley City Council that that is not absolutely true. When Medtronic first approached the City of Fridley at a meeting with the City Council, they originally asked to acquire 13 homes. He wanted the members of the Planning Commission to know that Medtronic had desires to acquire more houses to alleviate some of the road problems that would be created there. Two members of the City Council had told him that, and he believed he had that in writing at home in a memo that was written to City Council members. Mr. Young stated he would like to speak in opposition to the plan proposed by staff #hat Carrie Lane be continued as a 24-foot wide street. He did not realize there would be 30-foot light towers on top of that parking ramp. He did not remember the exact height of the parking ramp above existing grade. Ms. Dacy stated the height would be between 40 and 45 feet. Mr. Young stated they will then have light towers about 70 to 75 feet above the ground. If Carrie Lane is allowed to continue as a 24-foot wide street, he did not believe it would provide an adequate vegetation area for anything to eliminate the flow of light 24 hours a day into the neighborhood. The neighborhood now is fairly dark. Except for a street light in front of his house, there is very little light in that area. He has a question as to the type of lighting that will be on top of the ramp. Is it going to be directional lighting? Is it going to be on from dusk until dawn? Can it be directional rather than omni- directional? He can see some of the concems about snow plowing, etc. There is no one sitting on this commission that lives in that neighbofiood. No member of the City Council lives in that neighborhood. Life is a bowl of cherries; but, if this street continues as a 24-foot wide street, he believed they as a neighborhood are going to get all of the pits. They will not have anything to eliminate the view into that area. He is not opposed to the Medtronic project, but he is not agreeable to having total view of a parking ramp 1.15 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 16 and everything else that is down there and not having something else to help stop the flow of light and sound, and provide a decent visual effect. Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the seven versus thirteen homes, when she stated that there were seven homes proposed for acquisition, staff did not have a plan that showed more than seven homes being acquired. The petitioner could have evaluated a number of homes for acquisition, but at that point they had not submitted a master plan. At the beginning part of February, it was her understanding that the proposal was for seven homes. She is not disputing the fact that the City Council may have said there may have been more. In terms of the official record, the master plan presented to staff required the removal of seven homes. Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the street lights on the top floor of the parking ramp, the proposed method of trying to light the top floor is the same as that proposed in the previous MEPC proposal. While they were not as tall, the parking ramps had a 30-foot light standard on top of the parking ramp. The lighting plan requirements is that it is just enough light to illuminate the area directly below the light standard, and it is not to throw light beyond the limits of the parking structure. There is 126 feet to the rear lot lines. If the petitioner's engineer wants to address the exact type of structure that can be directional or not, staff would be happy to evaluate. As an example of what is at the municipal ramp, a residential area is immediately across the street. Some of the units across the street can see the standards at the municipal center. Mr. Hondl stated he is very supportive and excited about the Medtronic development, but they are impacted directly by what is going on there. The character of their naighborhood is changing substantially by what is going on. �le is suppo�tive of maintaining Carrie Lane. To him, closing that Lane or narrowing it changes the character of the neighborhood even more. He is even more concerned about the buffering that can take place on the south side of Carrie Lane once that road is put in place or realigned. The impact of the six houses does not provide an adequate protection at all. He is also concerned about the option to put up an 11-foot retaining wall. He did not think that is something that they would care to look at. It will be an eyesore and a dangerous thing for the neighborhood. Putting up a screen fence above that would degrade the character of the neighborhood even more. They need to seriously consider if a wall is what they want for the neighborhood. Mr. Hondl stated he would like to see Carrie Lane continued, a buffer on the south side, and that the job be done �ight. They are doing the right thing in a new development area, but he wants to make sure that the right thing is done, too. Mr. Oquist asked how high the retaining wall would be from the street level. Ms. Dacy stated from the parkway to Carrie would be 8 feet and then another 2-3 feet above Carrie Lane. Mr. Hondl stated he is aware that the wall would be 2 to 3 feet above Carrie Lane. He is concerned about the dangers that will create in their neighborhood with the kids playing 1.16 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 17 in that area and having a wall that drops off 10 or more feet. Adding a fence to the top of a retaining wall just degrades the character of the neighborhood even more. Mr. Gordier stated that at the last public hearing prior to February, they were told that there would be no intrusions into their neighborhood by this development. Since that time, there is considerable work and investment that has been done. When he called his Council member and was asked how he had heard about, he said it was not from the City of Fridley, but rather from people whose houses were being put up for sale. He obtained the plans from Ms. Dacy and discussed these plans at a neighborhood meeting at the library. The architects have done a remarkable job. The one thing that did come out (and Mr. Young is putting together a petition on this) is that the people attending were opposed to the Carrie Lane proposal and opted for the dead-end on Quincy and the cul-de-sac on Jackson. They believed the retaining wall is a danger. They get a lot of kids that come through there at pretty good speeds. He thought the narrow road would be a real danger. The trees that are proposed at the ends of the street would enhance the neighborhood and help somewhat. The tenor of the people in attendance, and Ed has raised his views on that, was that they were of the general opinion that they should have the dead end and cul-de-sac. They feel that putting in a retaining wall would be a danger to kids. Mr. Kondrick asked that if there were a dead-end and a cul-de-sac, would enough trees and shrubs be planted to screen the development? Mr. Gordier stated it would give them some buffer. He did not think it would help with the, lights on top of the ramp. Mr. Kondrick asked Mr. Gordier's opinion about the need to get safety vehicles, i.e., fire trucks, police and/or ambulances, into that area. Mr. Gordier stated he did not think it would be much different. There may be a few seconds difference in time for access. They know the streets. Ms. Savage asked if most people at the neighborhood meeting favored Option 1 rather than Option 2 Mr. Gordier stated, yes. There was unanimity in that there be no intrusions into the neighborhood. People by and large were for having a dead-end with more trees to buffer at the end of Quincy and Jackson. Mr. Saba asked if the landscape architect had looked at options in terms of vegetation to act as a buffer along a retaining wall. Ms. Dacy stated that with the construction of a retaining wall, that would eliminate a lot of area to put that screening in. There is a lot of area to the east of Quincy in which to do screening, and the petitioner's plant selection did propose a substantial amount of trees in that area. Land area is lost with the house at that point plus the connection between Quincy and Jackson. What happens is that there is a"hole" created in the view from the north as opposed to having a vegetative wall. 1.17 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 18 Mr. Rust stated he would prefer to keep Carrie Lane open. The traffic that comes down 57�' Avenue splits with some going south and some no�th. Ail the traffic going north has to turn and then go back up and catch Quincy again. They get a lot of kid traffic where his house is located. You cannot keep the kids out. They always walk through someone's lot. Some go south around Car�ie. Most come from the high school to Helene Place. He does not mind a little of it but he does not want a lot of it. He was not at the meeting at the library. He would prefer to keep Carrie Lane open. Mr. Hondl stated he was at that meeting and expressed, as did some others, that the number one concern was adequate buffering on the south side of Quincy. His second concern was to keep Carrie Lane open. He wants adequate buffer so that he does not have to at I-694 and Central Avenue or any buildings put in there. He first wants adequate buffering and also wants to keep Quincy open. Mr. Sielaff asked that, given the two options, which would he prefer? Mr. Hondl stated he wanted adequate buffering. He wants to do it right. He did not want the character of the neighborhood changed any more than it has to. They are already removing a number of homes. He has to live with whatever happens there. His number one concern is about the quality of life at that spot from now on because he has to live there. He wants adequate buffering. He wants to maintain the character of what is there. He would like to see Quincy remain the way it is. He is willing to compromise to protect the interest of the other neighbors, but he is not willing to give up the buffer. They also talked about putting some type of stipulation in there to eventually do the job riyht. If someone wants to sell their property in the future to look at purchasing that property in order to do the job right. Over time, he would like to have it look just as good on the north side as it does on the south side. Ms. Griffith stated she owns one of the houses asked to be purchased, but she is very thankful that they will retain their home. She believed there is a strong consensus in the neighborhood to have an internationally renowned company in the neighborhood. However, from their point of view, it is an intrusion into the neighborhood. This is an area of long term residents. It has been a shock to know that their quality of life will change. If there is any way to throw them a bone, however small it may be, it would be appreciated. The buffering issue is a bargaining chip to offer them. They are fortunate to have land, beautiful pine trees, oak trees, etc., and the neighborhood will never be in that situation again. There will be a giant parking ramp adjacent to the neighborhood. That not only affects the homes on Quincy Street, it also affects the homes on Jackson and 57�' Avenue. They looked at the plan at the neighborhood meeting and it showed at this point that all of the trees that are in existence are all going to be taken out and it does not say when these will be replanted. That is a second issue to the main issue that the homes along 57�', Quincy and Jackson will have no buffer. Either way is fine with her. The big issue is trying to maintain some integrity of the neighborhood. Mr. Ososki stated he had several questions. First, Ms. Dacy talked about $44,000+ in park fees. What is that for and where does it go? Second, Medtronic is putting in a parkway system with a bike trail. Where does that connect and where does it go? �_�_�� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 19 Does the City have any future plans to develop a system in their neighbofiood? What happens at 7�' Street? It would be nice if the City could show them in the next few months about whether anything will happen in that sense. Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the park fees, the ability for the City to require park land for dedication or charging park fees is typically contained in the subdivision ordinance, which is the enabling law. The City has a subdivision ordinance and the policy has been to require park fees of different types of developments. There is a rate for residential subdivisions and a rate for commercial and industrial developments. The rate for commercial and industrial developments if 0.023 cents per square foot of land area. That is a method of having a uniform ability to charge park fees. That is how the figure was calculated. The money is deposited into the City's park fund. Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the bike trail, the proposed bikeway/walkway will extend from the 7�' Street right-of-way all the way over to Highway 65 on the north side of the parkway. On 7�' Street right now is an on-street bike lane. The City does not have any plans at this time to improve upon that bike lane or to create an off street lane. On the east side, the County and City just finished a cooperative project to construct a bikeway/walkway around Moore Lake and along Central Avenue to provide a connection to other completed improvements. The bike lane on 7�' Street is not the best, however it is a lower volume roadway. There are a number of single family homes that are on the east side of 7�' Street. Ms. Dacy stated that regarding future plans for pedestrian friendly elements, that is an issue that staff is trying to address. They have no specific plans now. They are in the process of redoing the comprehensive plan and are looking at it. The community was built on the basis of the automobile during the expansion of the cities in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. There is no more room to build our way out of congestion. Staff will be evaluating that as part of the comprehensive plan. An element of that is the park section. The bikeway/walkway system will be discussed as a part of that. Mr. Gordier asked how they would be able to establish a buffer if they have a retaining wall along Carrie Lane. Ms. Dacy stated that with Option 2 and Carrie Lane with a retaining wall on a limited amount of land area means this particular part of the connection is open. There could be no trees planted on the south side of the new Carrie Lane connection and there is only 4 or 5 feet between the lot line and the curb line. Planting trees there would not be an option. There is more than enough room on the east portion of the connection to establish a line of pine trees, etc. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:08 P.M. Mr. Saba stated someone had mentioned earlier that if a house ever came up for sale, could a buffer be added at a different phase of the development. Could this be done? 1.19 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 20 Ms. Dacy stated, yes. If the house did not exist, adequate area would be created for additional trees. Mr. Saba asked if there could be a part 2 to this plan that if that house ever was available for sale, the City or Medtronic could purchase the property and add to the buffering. Ms. Dacy stated there are two pa�ts to this question. First, who is going to do the acquisition. Second, who is going to do the installation of the additional buffer. Certainly, the Commission could make a recommendation regarding the installation of additional trees if the house were to be removed. The issue of the acquisition would be something to be decided. Ms. Griffith stated it didn't look as though there was a buffer behind 57�' Avenue. Ms. Dacy stated that in looking at the landscape plan, a significant number of trees are proposed in Phase I. There are a number of Austrian pines and Black Hills spruces proposed to be added along the north side of the parkway. Part of the reason staff recommended that the existing vegetation be contained in an outlot is that it would not be removed during the demolition of the existing street and construction of the new street. That was part of the stipulation. They want to create an adequate right-of-way for the parkway, but they don't want it extending all the way to the north lot line as was originally proposed. For Phase II and Phase III, what will be out there is the existing vegetation. As part of Phase I additional species are proposed. There is a series of L�nden trees that will be planted on the north side of the parkway. There will be about 50 additional evergreen trees to be planted on the no�th side. With Option 2 and the construction of a retaining wall, that would eliminate space for some plantings. To the east is proposed Black Hills spruce and Austrian pines, maples and a variety of deciduous trees. On the north side, there are probably 60 to 100 trees. These will be at both street level and at the higher level of the homes. Ms. Dacy stated 26 pine trees are proposed down 57�' Avenue from Quincy, which will be installed as part of Phase I. The grade changes there and the final elevation is yet to be determined. It may be within three or four feet of the rear lot lines of those homes. It gets very steep in the area of Quincy. Mr. Oquist asked what they were talking about in terms of area required for this buffering leaving the street as it is. Ms. Dacy stated a typical planting width as required in the code is 15 feet. Four feet is too small. With option 2, it comes down to the fact that there is not enough area to do an adequate planting bed on the western part of that connection by Quincy. There is more room at the eastem part. Mr. Oquist stated there may be some creative ways of doing this. Perhaps the bikeway/walkway could go up onto Carrie Lane and then back down again in order to 1.20 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 21 create 8 feet of free space or move the wall out. There are other things that they might be able to do in order to create some additional space. Ms. Dacy stated they did discuss that. They talked about bringing the on-street bikeway up the hill and even with Carrie Lane and then back down again. You gain some room but you redirect all of the bikeway/walkway traffic up the hill and down again. That raised some issues regarding ADA access. Staff thought that it didn't gain enough to provide the buffer that they would prefer. They went with keeping the on street bikeway/walkway and creating a smaller connection to the neighborhood. Mr. Kondrick stated that if they did not construct the Carrie Lane connection, there would be a couple of houses from 57�' Avenue, one house on the dead-end, and three houses on the cul-de-sac. Without the connection, that space could be used as a buffer. Ms. Dacy stated this would be consistent with Option1. The area that would have been used for the road connection is not there. There would be 24 feet in which to do plantings. The issue the commission must trade off is the importance of the screening versus the continuity to the traffic pattem. Mr. Kondrick stated it seems that the neighbors are more interested in having the buffer. He thought the street would have been better but now he would prefer the trees before the Medtronic development to protect the residents from the light, noise, traffic, etc. The survey states that of 25 surveys 13 would rather have a dead-end and cul-de-sac. That is just more than half. The main interest of people is the buffer. If that street is not constructed, they would have a buffer. It will be more of a hassle for snow plows, police, and fire department to get down there. Ms. Savage asked that other than possible problems with the fire and police, is there an advantage to option 2 for the development as a whole? The Planning Commission has to be concerned about what the neighbors think, but also must look at the good of the entire development. Ms. Dacy stated the original direction was to recreate the street pattem that is out there. That is a key part of the recommendation. If it is not there, people are redirected to other parts of the neighborhood and the pattern is changed. The Carrie Lane route is unique. It is circuitous to the point that it does discourage pass through traffic going from Highway 65 to 7�'. On the other hand it is the most direct route between the two streets, and really acts as a sub-collector for the neighborhood in general. They are proposing to expand the project area, recreate what is out there now, and maintain the street pattem. Mr. Kondrick stated that with the dead-end and the cul-de-sac, it looks like Bridgewater Drive would be less encumbered as with having Carrie Lane. On drawing C062, it looks as though the road seems to flow with the cul-de-sac and the dead-end. With Carrie Lane there needs to be a jog. With Carrie Lane there is also the landscaping issues. 1.21 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 22 Ms. Dacy stated there is no jog in the parkway with either option. C061 shows the existing arrangement. C062 shows the dead end option. Bridgewater wouid be of the same configuration with either option. The main difference is the retaining wall, the bikeway/walkway, and the Carrie Lane connection. Mr. Kondrick stated with the dead-end there would still be the bikeway/walkway and the buffer. The dead-end is a hassle for the snow plowing. Did it create many problems for the police and fire depa�tments? Mr. Kuechle stated his concern is about the integrity of the neighborhood. Having that loop around keeps the neighborhood as closely intact as possible. It would be nice if there was a neat block there, but there is not. With a dead end, you would have to go north and come way around the other side. It is quite a long way, and would tend to split the neighborhood into Quincy Street and Jackson Street. He can see the advantage of having Carrie Lane. It addresses the problem noted earlier of the foot traffic that comes from the high school south. Without it, they get locked in there with no way to get around and cross private lots. Mr. Kondrick asked that if Quincy was a dead-end and Jackson a cul-de-sac, would they still have to have the high retaining wall? Ms. Dacy stated that, in that case, the retaining wall would not exist. Mr. Oquist asked how the master plan approval would affect the road situation. Nls. Dacy stated this would be dependent o� the other approvals. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend approval of S-2 Redevelopment District Project Plan Approval, MPA #99-01, by Medtronic, Inc., to consider project/master plan approval for a corporate office campus up to 1,600,000 square feet in size, generally located at Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive, with the following stipulations: 1.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Savage asked for further comments or discussion� on the Plat request. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Siefaff, to recommend approval of Plat, PS #99-01, by Medtronic, Inc., to create Fridley Executive Center 2"d Addition. The plat creates two lots, one of which is for development of 448,000 square feet of corporate office space and supporting facilities. The remaining lot is to be legally described as Fridley Executive Center Outlot A and is not proposed for development at this time, generally located at Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive, with the following stipulations: The petitioner shall provide a minimum right-of-way width of 90 feet for Bridgewater Drive, east of the west right-of-way of Quincy Street, and dedicate as right-of-way the land south of Lots 12, 16, Block 11 and Lot 9, Block 5, Donnays Lakeview Manor Addition. 2. The petitioner shall provide a minimum Bridgewater Parkway right-of-way width of 66 feet, while also providing an outlot for the planted area, north of Bridgewater Parkway, west of the west right-of-way line of Quincy Street. 3. The petitioner shall close the Lake Pointe Drive connection to 7�' Street or provide °Road Ctosed" and/or "Dead-end" signage. 4.

The petitioner shall pay park dedication fees in the amount of $44,522.48, prior to issuance of Phase I building permits. 9. The petitioner shall construct Bridgewater Drive from 7�' Street to Highway 65 as part of Phase I construction according to plans submitted as part of this application and shall comply with the Municipal State Aid construction standards. 10. The petitioner shall install an 8-foot bikeway/walkway from 7�' Street to Highway 65 along the north side of Bridgewater Drive. Connections to the neighborhood to the no�th shall be made to Quincy Street and from Jackson Street. 11. The petitioner shall recognize and be responsible for providing a separate easement agreement where bikeway/walkways are not located within the pub(ic right-of-way. 12. A pavement stripe or other readily visible means of identifications shall be provided on the surface of Bridgewater Parkway to allow a pedestrian crossing. 13. The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining the ground cover and landscaping in the median and the boulevards in the parkway as we(I as maintaining the landscaped area around Quincy and Jackson Streets. 14. The petitioner shall record an easemenUagreement permitting emergency vehicl� access on the site including access to fire hydrants. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Kondrick stated he would be against the connection to eliminate the dangers of the retaining wall where kids could fall off and, from the residents' side and the Medtronic side, to keep them from looking at a wall. That would provide a chance to landscape and to buffer from the lights, trafficand noise. It would also allow the bikeway/walkway. It will be tougher for snow plowing, but he did not think it would be that much more difficult for the police and fire departments. He would prefer Option 1. Ms. Dacy stated Stipulation #1 would have to be amended depending on the vote. Ms. Savage stated the recommendation to approve the street vacation does not touch on either Option 1 or Option 2. If the Commission approves the street vacation, they could still if desired recommend a stipulation for Option 1. . Ms. Dacy stated this was correct. Mr. Oquist stated he sees a need to have Carrie Lane and also the need for buffering. He did not feel comfortable that they have looked at all of the alternatives so they could 1.26 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 27 do both. Why not move everything 10 feet to the south or 8 feet south or 3 feet? Why not make the road 3 feet narrower'? Have we looked at ali of the possibilities? Ms. Dacy stated that in terms of trying to shift the project to the south, based on their meeting today, there is not that luxury because of the building code requirements, the fire code requirements about access and distance, areas of separation. However� the other options, we have to meet Municipal State Aid standards for lane widths. They could go back and re-evaluate the bikeway/walkway on top of the hill issue. If the Commission would like staff to perform an analysis prior to the City Council meeting, staff would be happy to do so. Mr. Oquist stated he would be comfortable with that. The other thing he thought of was to put the bikeway on the south side of the property. IYs a nice place to walk, but if he had to walk a bit to the south and come back around that would eliminate 8 feet of property there. Those are the types of things that staff could look at. He could go with Option 1 but he would like to see staff really take a good look at the whole project to see if there is a way to go with Option 2 and get the buffer besides. Mr. Kondrick stated he would also be in favor of that, but he did not know how they would do it. Mr. Oquist asked why Carrie Lane needed to be 24 feet. What about having an alley? He could go with Option #1 with a stipulation that staff review it to see if Option 2 could work and bring it to the City Council. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. KuecF�le, to recommend approval of Vacation, SAV #99-01, by Medtronic, Inc., to vacate a portion of Carrie Lane, Jackson Street, and Quincy Street which abut 5665, 5675, and 5675 Jackson Street, and 5665 Quincy Street in order to reconstruct Bridgewater Drive, generally Iocated at Carrie Lane, with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall reconstruct Carrie Lane as depicted in Option 1. 2. The petitioner shall dedicate right-of-way for a dead-end and cul-de-sac as shown in the preliminary plat submittal and construct the dead-end and cul-de- sac. 3. The petitioner shall submit a final landscape and irrigation plan to be approved by the City prior to issuance of the first building permit. 4. The petitioner shall submit a final construction plan to the City Engineering Department for review and approval prior to demolition of existing Carrie Lane. 5. The petitioner shall maintain all landscaped areas between Quincy Street and Jackson Street. 6. Staff shall do additional analysis of possible alternatives to provide both Carrie Lane and a buffer area. 1.27 PLANNING COMMISSION ti1EETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 28 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ZOA #99-01. BY MEDTRONIC. INC.: To amend section 205.24.06 and other appropriate sections of the Fridley Zoning Code to create requirements for parking space sizes and aisle widths for parking ramp structures associated with redevelopment and other projects, generally located at Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive. 6. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT. SP #99-02, BY MEDTRONIC, INC.: To allow for a nine-foot wide parking space in the S-2, Redevelopment District, generally located Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 9:40 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated Medtronic's parking needs have changed greatly from the two employees the company had in 1949 to the new proposed world headquarters where they expect to have 1,000 employees. To accommodate the parking needs for Phase I, a six-level parking ramp has been proposed. This will provide approximately 1,035 parking spaces. Two levels of the ramp will be below grade and four levels above grade. The overall height will be from 40 to 45 feet above grade. In order to keep the ramp to six levels, Medtronic has requested a Zoning Text Amendment which would allow the construction of a multi-story parking facility that would have parking stalls measuring 8.5 feet x 18 feet and a two-way drive aisle reduced from 25 feet to 24 feet. Currently, the Fridley zoning code as it relates to parking has a one size fits all requirement and does not take into account the type of use for the parking lot or the frequency of people entering or leaving the parking lot. The code also does not distinguish between multi-story parking and surFace parking. The current code requires pa�king spaces to be 10 feet x 20 feet and have a 25-foot drive aisle for two-way traffic and an 18-foot drive aisle for one-way traffic. Currently, the code does allow a special use permit to be issued for 9-foot wide, double striped parking stalls in the S-2 zoning district. Mr. Bolin stated that in looking at the City's zoning ordinances and in looking at old engineering and architectural manuals for parking lot design, it seems that Fridley has always had larger stall sizes that what the manuals proposed at the time. In 1959, the City required 10-foot x 19-foot stalls. The architectural standards manual from the same year recommended parking stall sizes that were 8.5 feet x 18 feet. In the 1980s, the City adopted the current 10-foot x 20-foot standard for parking stalls. Today's manuals recommend for a use similar to Medtronic where you have employees only using the ramp or where people are parking daily with little turnover a parking stall size of 8 feet 2 1.28 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1999 PAGE 29 inches x 18 feet with a 24-foot two-way drive aisle. In order get a feel for the different size of vehicles and parking stalls in the metropolitan area, staff visited a number of ramps which had 8.5-foot wide stalls. They also measured a number of vehicles of different sizes and measured the width mirror-to-mirror and bumper-to-bumper as noted in the staff report. The engineering manuals state when you have a large number of employees or users to park in the same stalls everyday that you can go down to the smaller stalls. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of the Zoning Text Amendment to recommend that the City Council hold a public hearing to receive comment on the text amendment as presented. As development becomes more common in the area, it is highly likely that the City is going to see more requests for ramps. Currently the only ramp is at the municipal center. Another ramp has been approved for Northwest Orthopaedic Clinic that should come under construction this summer. One advantage to make the stall size smaller is to have more stalls in a smaller sized ramp which leaves more land available for landscaping and open spaces. By approving the zoning text amendment, this would be consistent with the variance that was approved for the ramp to be constructed at Northwest Orthopaedic Clinic. Also, the stall sizes proposed are within current engineering guidelines. The amendment would read as follows: TEXT AMENDMENT, ZTA 99-01 Amending Section 205.04.XX Add X. X. ` MULTI-STORY PARKING STRUCTURES A. Parking stall size for multi-story parking structures may be a minimum of 8.5 feet in width and 18 feet in length for corporate campuses, industrial, manufacturing, warehouse and storage uses, and speculative industrial buildings provided that parking stalls are for long term employee parking. B. Drive aisles shall be a minimum of 24 feet for two-way traffic and 18 feet for one-way traffic if structure is property signed. C. Parking stall size for commercial, retail, or service uses shall be a minimum of 9.5 feet in width and 18 feet in length. D. All other parking requirements for the individual zoning districts, except those addressed here, shall apply to multi-story parking structures. E. Parking structures shall be constructed in accordance with all Building and Fire Code requirements. DEFINITION Amending Section 205.03.XX ADD XX. XX. MULTI-STORY PARKING STRUCTURES. Vehicle parking structures comprised of two or more levels, where a ramp, direct �treet connections, or mechanical conveyances can be used to transport vehicles befinreen levels. 1.29 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7. 1999 PAGE 30 Mr. Bolin stated Medtronic is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction of a surface parking facility with parking stall widths of 9 feet. This is a small lot designed for 12 vehicles. The code requires a special use permit for 9-foot wide, double striped parking stalls in this zoning district. He did find one parking ramp near the capital with 9-foot wide, double striped stalls. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit. The 9-foot wide stalls are a permitted special use in this district. With the double striping, this would be in accordance with the City standards. There is only the one 12-space surface lot that would require the special use permit. Mr. Kondrick asked the size of the stalls in the municipal ramp. Mr. Bolin stated the upper floor is striped at 10 feet x 20 feet. The lower level is between 9 feet and 9 feet 6 inches x 20 feet. Ms. Savage asked the size of the parking spaces at the No�thwest Athletic Club. She goes there regularly and has no trouble parking, Mr. Bolin stated those spaces are 8.5 feet. This just came to staff's attention. Ms. Savage asked what the 12-stal! parking facility would be used for. Mr. Bolin stated the parking lot would be next to the central plant. Mr. Hagman stated the neuro office building will be located on the west end of the campus. This will provide on-grade parking for visitors and for quick access to the west end of the site. Mr. Sielaff asked who had received a variance for a parking ramp. Mr. Bolin stated the variance was for Northwest Orthopaedics. They were granted a variance last year. Mr. Sielaff asked why this does not just call it multi-story parking and. not designate uses. Ms. Savage stated the idea is that the smaller size par{cing stalls are more appropriate for employees who will be parked there throughout the day and have little tumover. The larger stalls are for those areas that have shorter-term parking. Mr. Sielaff stated he did not understand why they could not specify that multi-story parking as for employees. Why not just include everything? Mr. Oquist stated they are trying to distinguish between employee parking and customer parking. 1.30 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRII. 7, 1999 _ PAGE 31 Mr. Bolin stated that with the clinic ramp, this will also include patients coming and going so it will not be just employees. Ms. Dacy stated paragraphs A and B sets it up for the industrial and long term parking. Paragraph C differentiates for a different type of use with more frequent tumover. Commercial and retail parking would have a mixture of traffic. They are using the same theory as we are now. Now you can have a 9-foot wide space in an industrial district, and a 10-foot space in a commercial district. They are using the same theory but including the parking ramp structure. With more tumover, they must have a wider space. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing.

The 10' width previously identified was an error. The HRA's intent was to grant the petitioner the minimum width required to install utilities for their lot to the east. The modification does not adversely impact our ability to re-use or market the site.

We also received the Rice Creek Watershed District's (RCWD) petition forms for submittal to the RCWD. The proposed project is approximately $110,000. The RCWD should fund 50% of the project cost leaving the remaining 50% to be spread between the City, the property owners and any other funding available. I have prepared a resolution from the City to the RCWD supporting the project and requesting their support as well as the Anoka County Soil and Water Conservation District's support for the project. The RCWD may not have funds available for the proj ect this year but they should be able to make sufficient funds available next year. I also believe that once the project plans get started, the remaining three properties will join the project. Recommend the City Council receive the petitions and adopt. the attached resolution to the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Anoka County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Burns, City Manager � �� FROM: John G. F1ora,rPublic Works Director DATE: May 10, 1999 SUBJECT: SCADA System Upgrade PW99-085 The automatic telephone dialer at the Commons Water Treatment Plant contacts the on-call personnel during any emergency situations that occur to our water plants or sewer lift stations. The current automatic telephone dialer has been malfunctioning and is found to be unreliable. Currently we are installing a new SCADA system and an automatic digital dialer can be added which would not only dial the on-call person but can also identify the problem so that action can be initiated immediately upon receipt of the information. The digital dialer is an additional $5,750 installed. As the overall SCADA upgrade project was under budget, recommend a change order No. 1 to the SCADA system upgrade project for an additional $5,750. JGF:cz Attachment 5.01 �pF F � � � PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM TO: John Flora, Director of Public Works FROM: Paul Lawrence, Superintendent of Public Works DATE: Apri120, 1999 SUBJECT: Automatic Dialer Commons Water Treatment Plant The automatic telephone dialer at the Commons Water Treatment Plant, that alerts "on call personnel" of emergency problems in the City's water or sewer system after hours, is operating erratically and sometimes not at all. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to have the dialer repaired with repairs usually lasting a few days to a few weeks. The dialer is critical to the safe operation of both the City's water and sewer system and needs to be replaced as soon as possible with a reliable system. Cunent automatic dialer systems are computer software systems that allow notification of exact problems, allowing the on-call employee to respond directly to the problem. (The existing system puts out a general failure alarm.) The cost of an automatic dialer system compatible to the City's SCADA system is $5,750 including tax and installation. There are two ways to fund the purchase of the replacement automatic dialer: 1. Purchase the dialer using water and sewer division equipment maintenance funds. 2. Issue a change order on the water and sewer SCADA upgrade that is scheduled for installation in the next several weeks. Issuing a change ordered is the most attractive alternative, as the upgrade bid with Automatic Systems was $20,000 under budget ($204,000 budget, $184,000 bid) allowing the dialer to be replaced without impact on the maintenance budget. 5.02 CITY OF FR.IDLEY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 6431 UIVIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.

Burns, City Manager ,�� FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator SUBJECT: Onan Plat On January 6, 1999 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider preliminary plaf PS, #98-04. The Commission recommended approval of the plat request with 14 stipulations. The City Council approved preliminary plat, PS, #98-04 as recommended by the Commission on January 25, 1999. On April 12, the City Council considered the final plat and tabled its consideration pending the outcome of further discussion with Onan and Anoka County. That discussion was to center around the County's right-of-way/easement dedication requirements and associated impact on the final plat. Right-of-Way/Easement Issues Staff met with Onan representafives and discussed via phone the issues with the County Highway Department, Engineering staff. A workable solution has been reached in the assignment of right-of-way and easements to accommodate fiuture road improvements, at the intersection of Central Avenue and 73'� Avenue NE. Along Central Avenue, a 10' x 400' right-of-way will be dedicated from the property corner at 73ro, to a point that is 400' south (along the existing r.o.w.). Along 73`� Avenue, a 17' x 400' right-of-way will be dedicated from the property corner at Central, to a point 400' east (along the existing r.o.w.) The remaining 17' by 2252.79' along the 73'� Avenue right-of-way will be dedicated as a Street, Utility and Drainage easement. Along Central Avenue, a 13.01 Onan Piat April 22, 1999 PAGE 2 10' x 800.74', Street, Utility and Drainage easement will be dedicated (see Exhibit B, attached). Park Dedication Reauirems In any subdivision, park dedication fees are required to be paid at a rate of .023 per square foot of land. A comment regarding park dedication fees came up informally, after the public hearing. Though with or without a stipulation the fees are required, staff has added a stipulation #14 to assure this issue is properly communicated. Staff has discussed the park dedication fees with the petitioner. Though the fees to be paid with the building permit for the Murphy Warehouse site are not in dispute, the fees for the existing Onan parcel are. The fee amounts are $26,041, on the Murphy site and $89,669, on the Onan Site (calculation does not include land area for Lot 2 where the contamination vault is located). Onan has asked that the fees not apply since they are not proposing additional development or creating new demands, but rather, simply creating a redefined parcel for the development of the Murphy Warehouse building. The City has been consistent in its application of Park Dedication fees at the time of Final Plat or building permit. The entire Onan parcel existed as an Auditor's Subdivision, or Registered Land Survey (RLS) which, until this plat request has been filed has not been subject to park dedication fees. Exaction of park dedication fees relates to demands on and for park property or services by commercial, industrial and residential development. As a large employer, Onan has numerous employees who may utilize the park system in the community. With the development of the Murphy Warehouse site, additional employees will be added to this site, thus park demand wilt rise. Onan representatives have discussed (with staf� the possibility of an annual fee of $5,000 per year for the larger Onan site. This fee over time would not only bring down their overal� park dedication fee obligation, but it would also supplement the Park budget sooner than if the City waited for a payment at the time of building permit on the larger site. A new building on the larger Onan site is not programmed at this time. In the event that Onan were to apply for a building permit before the entire Park Dedication fee is paid, they would pay the balance at that time. 13.02 Onan Plat April 22, 1999 PAGE 3 Staff notes that there may be building permits for interior modification to the existing facility. Normally, these would trigger payment of Park Dedication Fees. This Park Dedication Fee discussion occurred recently and staff has not had an opportunity to have the issue reviewed by the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. Because the Park Commission has a standing policy of requiring fees to be paid in their entirety, the proposal to pay the fee over time should be reviewed by the Commission first, with a recommendation to the City Council. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution with 14 stipulations. 13.03 RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLAT, P.S. #98-04, BY N.G.

While the Anoka County Highway Department has been working toward the establishment of a 100-foot right-of-way corridor for CSAH 35, it should be noted that the existing 50 feet of right-of-way adjacent to CSAH 35 for this plat may not be adequate for future needs. If the intersection of CSAH 35 and CSAH 8 is signalized in the future, it is likely that there will be additional right-of-way needs on a114-legs of this intersection, to accommodate the necessary turn lane construction and channelization. Consequently, dedication of an additional 10 feet of right-of-way adjacent to CSAH 35 should be considered. Also, an additional 17 feet of right-of-way adjacent to CSAH 8 will be required for future reconstruction purposes (50 feet total right-of-way south of CSAH 8 right-of-way centerline). If changes/construction activities aze to take place within the county right-of-way, a site plan showing proposed access locations and detailed drainage calculations must be submitted with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the drainage areas for this site. The post developed rate of dischazge shall not exceed the pre-developed rate of discharge for the 10-yeaz frequency storm, utilizing the "Rationale Method" of design to determine the rate of discharge,' Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

G. NELSON, ONA1�1 CORPORATION. TO REPLAT PROPERTY TO ACCOMNtODATE THE DEVELOP1VtENT OF A WARE- HOUSING FACILITY, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1400 73RD AVENUE N.E; Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, provided a diagram iilustratin� the site location of the subject property. At the time, the property consisted of four diPFerent tracts. The preliminary plat contained three lots, a public ri�ht-of-way and an outlot. To accommodate the proposed 400,000 square foot building, it would be necessary to replat the property, re-defining the parcel boundaries. Councilmember Wolfe noted that it came to his attention that emptoyees of Medtronic had been parking their vehicles on 69`h Avenue.- He wondered if "No Parking" signs could be installed to prevent this from occurrin�. He stated that he was concerned that this probiem would escalate due to the increased vehicles from the new development. In addressinJ the impact that the development at Onan would have on the situation, Mr. Hickok stated that the parking for the proposed development was really centered around the bui(ding. He believed that staff had ef%ctively addressed on-site parking concerns there. However, if there was an existing problem in the area, it could be addressed with the Public Works staff. Mr. Hickok stated that it was staff's recommendation that Council approve the request for replattinJ of the property with the following stipulations: 1) A 20-foot utility easement should be provided along the easterly property line of the Onan property; 2) A road with a 60-foot right-of- way, 30 m.p.h. curves, and necessary cul-de-sacs or bubble should be identified to provide access 13.08 FRIDLEY CITY COUNC[L MEETING OF JAIYUARY 25 1999 PAGE 14 to the proposed lot splits; 3) the proposed access road will continue along the eastern edge of Lot 3 for a minimum of 150 feet in order to meet the lot width requirements; 4) T'he sewer services should be designed to service the proposed and future lots on the plat; 5) Sewer connection to the MCES interceptor wili require MCES approval; 6) The water system should be designed to provide service to the existing and proposed lots; 7) Fire hydrants associated with the development wi(1 be flushed by City crews.

TO REPLAT PROPERTY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF VACANT LAND, GENERALLY LOCATED ON NORTHCO DTRVE AND 73�D AVENUE N.E. (WARD i): � Councilmember Billings noted that the agenda did not contain an illustration of the new lots after the proposed replatting. Mr. Hickok, Plannin� Coordinator, provided a dia�ram depicting the repiatting information. The request was merely to take the existing lot and to subdivide it into two lots to allow for the development of another facility. Councilmember Billin�s asked why the required number of parking stalls was specified, taking into consideration that the buildin� ownership/use could chan�e in the future. Mr. Hickok stated that he felt the City needed to provide a service to petitioners when they come . forward with a request. The location of the lot line was dependent upon the petitioner providing the required number of parkin� spaces. Therefore, it was felt that it was necessary to specify this. Councilmember Billings stated he believed that in the original replatting of the Northco Subdivision there was a stipulation referrin� to the number of driveway accesses available from 71'` Avenue. He believed that the language had been added to any subsequent replatting. 13.09 CITY OF FRIDLEY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1999 CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Savage called the January 6, 1999, Pianning Commission meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. ROLL CALL: Members Present: Diane Savage, Dave Kondrick, LeRoy Oquist, Dean Saba, Brad Siefaff, Connie Modig, Larry Kuechle � Members Absent: None Others Present: Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator Paul Bolin, Planning Assistant Missy Daniels, Planning Assistant Julie Tostenson, Community Development Secretary Woody Nelson, Onan Tom Becker, Opus Mark Kusnierek, CSM Properties APPROVAL OF DECEMBER 2 1998 PLANNING COMMISSION MIN 1TF�; M TI N by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to approve the December 2, 1998, Planning Commission minutes as written.

PUBLIC HEARING• CONSInFRqTION OF REPLAT P S#�3 04 BY O�IAN CORPORATION. M G NELS�N: To replat property to accommodate the development of a warehousing facility on Tracts A-D, RLS114, generally located at 1400 73rd Avenue N.E. TI by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:38 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the replat request is by Onan Corporation to accommodate the development of a warehousing facility on the site. The number of parcels will remain the same; however, the boundaries of the parcels will be redefined as a result of this action. Mr. Bolin stated the property is located east of old Central befinreen 69th and 73rd. The property is currently zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. To the north is R-1, Single Family, and 13.10 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 6, 1999 PAGE 2 R-3, Multiple Family, zoning; to the east is the City of Mounds View; to the south is R-3, Multiple Family, and M-2, Heavy Industrial; and to the southwest is M-2, Heavy Industrial, specifically Medtronics. Mr. Bolin stated the site was platted into its current configuration in 1988. This was done to create some separately defined parcels because there was some contamination on part of the property. In order to clear the title for construction of the building, they split the land in this manner. The preliminary plat is intended to accommodate a new 406,000 square foot warehouse facility. The current Tract A is the parcel that had the original contamination. Tract B was created to accommodate a planned building that never materialized and also contains a"french drain" system from past clean-up efforts. Tract C contains the existing buildings. Tract D was created to provide public right-of-way into Tract B if that was ever developed. Mr. Bolin stated the proposed plat now consists of Lot 1 which is basically the same as the present Tract C. The proposed plat also has a Lot 2 which is the present Tract A. The proposed Lot 3 is similar to Tract B but has been expanded further east. This is where Onan intends to build the new warehouse facility. They also have a new public right-of-way which will be extended on the east side of the new Lot 3. Outlot A will take the place of the present Tract D. This will serve to give a public right-of-way and be used as a storm water retention pond area. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of Replat request, P.S. #98-04. The new lots, except Outlot A, will meet the code definitions. Staff recommends the following s2ipulations: 1. A 20-foot utility easement should be provided along the easterly property line of the Onan property. 2. A road with 60-foot right-of-way, 30 mile per hour curves, and necessary cul-de- sacs or bubble should be identified to provide access to the proposed lot splits. 3. The proposed access road will continue along the eastem edge of Lot 3 for a minimum of 150 feet in order to meet the lot width requirements. 4. The sewer services should 6e designed to service the proposed and future lots on the plat. 5. Sewer connection to the Metropolitan Councit Environmental Services (MCES) interceptor will require MCES approval. 6. The water system should be designed to provide service to the existing and proposed lots. 7. Fire hydrants associated with the development will be flushed by City crews. Operation, maintenance and repair will remain with the property owners. 8. Storm water pond calculations need to be approved by the Engineering Department. 13.11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 6 1999 PAGE 3 9. A storm water pond agreement needs to be executed to inciude the outfall system for the pond. 10. A user fee wili be required from the property owner for the storm system piaced within the City right-of-way. 11. The storm water outlet pipe will require the repair of Stinson Avenue and the installation of 8618 concrete curb and gutter. 12. The storm sewer pond desigrt must be approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District. 13. Petitioner shall combine Outlot A with Lot 1 for tax purposes before the final plat is approved. Mr. Kondrick asked how long it would take for the storm water pond design to be approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Hickok stated this approval is being reviewed at the time this request is being approved. M�. Sielaff asked the purpose of the french drain and clean-up of the site. Mr. Bolin stated the french drain is a hole punched in the ground usually through clay. The hole is then filled with a more porous material, such as gravel, that allows run-off to drain into the ground at a quicker rate. He does not know why it was put in Tract B. Tract A is where the contamination was. He would guess that the french drain was put in B to keep the water in that area from running into A. Mr. Sielaff asked if the site is being monitored at this time. Mr. Bolin stated he is not sure of the status of the current monitoring. The petitioner may be able to answer that question. Ms. Savage asked if staff has receiyed any comments from the public conceming this request. Mr. Bolin stated staff has received no comments. Mr. Hickok stated that regarding the environmental issues, an environmental consultant brought on by the petitioner is working to make certain that future development will be sensitive to the work already done to clean up the contamination on the site and to make sure that, as development occurs, whatever needs to be contained is contained and any necessary clean up happens alsa Mr. Sielaff asked if the petitioner submits something to the City to keep the City informed. Mr. Hickok stated Onan has made application to DTED and the Metropolitan Council for funds. They will be going back through the funding cycle in May. Though no funds were available through DTED on the first round, the Metropolitan Counci) offered funds. It does look good for the next round of funding to get additional dollars to make this project work. 13.12 There are extensive environmentalana the Meropolitapn C u� i�The cost is to be shared a n d h e i p e d f i n a n c e t h ro u g h D T E D Mr. Sielaff asked if there is additional clean up and/or monitoring continuing on this site. Is the work going to be overseen by the Metropolitan Council? Mr. Hickok stated, yes, there is continued monitoring. The environmental folks report to both DTED and the Metropolitan Council while working through the environmental issues. Mr. Nelson stated he is the direetcommun�rto put lan�d back into productv euusee project. This does a lot for Onan and th tY Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problems with the stipulations. Mr. Nelson stated they had some questions. Stipulation #7 refers to fire hydrants. He was not sure what they have in mind. They have maintained fire hydrants in the past but it is not a big deal. Staff talked M� Becke�ha'stbeent nvolved w th Onan and Murphy on really means for them as we the design work for the site. Mr. Becker stated the only other issues are details about how the sewer line will be designed to service both lots to satisfy the requirements of the City Public Works Depa�tment. He did not see a problem with that though. Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner believed they could work out the details with the staff. Mr. Nelson stated, yes. Mr. Sielaff stated he would like to follow up on the environmental issues on the site. Mr. Nelson stated they are seeking funding for some of the environmental issues. The clean-up that was done on the site m the mid-1980's was hard core, and it was funded by Boise Cascade, Onan, and the railroad. It was done in accordance with a court order. Monitoring is in place and is ongoing as a part of that declaratory judgment. What they expect to encounter and because of the french drain, they want to make sure that is preserved so it� can still function. The french drain has not functioned as it was installed to do for some period of time. The MPCA said to tum it off. It is there but not functioning as it was designed to do. It is in place, and they will leave it in place as the site is developed. Mr. Sielaff asked Mr. Nelson to explain what a french drain is. Mr. Nelson stated the section where the contamination is centered is a central treating operation. The implementation mechanism is a slurry wall dug into the glacial till that is about 40 feet deep and filled with clay. A cap was placed with clean fill over the top of that so there is no recharge from the rain or snow melt. The french drain was dug into the surface aquifer about 26 feet below the surface. Then they put in pea gravel and sand with a textile cover to keep it from silting up. That is about 4 to 5 feet below the surFace of the ground water which, on this site, is about 8 to 12 feet. The thought was that this went into the Metropolitan Council sewer with a valve so that you could tum on the french drain and lower the level within Tract B. When you shut it off, the water level would come up to flush it. They did not see a difference however, so they shut it off. . 13.13 Mr. Sielaff asked if there are some additional things that need to '�v �� at the site. Mr. Nelson stated there are considerations that have to be made in the construction process to preserve the capabiiity to continue to worlc. Mr. Sielaff asked what the connection was with the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Nelson stated there is funding for retuming contaminated sites to usable purposes. That is really what they are talking about. He did not have all of the details. They also have a contingency plan approved by the MPCA where, during the construction process, they have a mechanism to monitor the excavation so that if something is encountered, they have a plan to take care of it. That will be put in process also. Mr. Sielaff asked, if something was to occur on that site, is there a way to let the City know what is going on? Perhaps there should be a stipulation that the City be notified of any contamination. His reason for bringing this issue up is because wellhead protection is something the City is looking at and this is a potential source of contamination. Mr. Nelson stated he did not see a problem with that. M TI N by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:58 p,M, Mr. Kondrick asked if the Commission should add a stipulation that the City be notified if contamination is found. Mr. Saba stated that Onan has been a good corporate citizen and probably would not have a problem with notifying the City. He did not believe a stipulation was necessary. Mr. Sielaff stated he suggested the stipulation so that the City would be aware if anything happened. M T N by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend approval of Replat request, P.S. #98-04, by M. G. Nelson, Onan Corporation, to replat property to accommodate the development of a warehousing facility on Tracts A-D, RLS114, generally located at 1400 73rd Avenue N.E., with the following stipulations: �• A 20-foot utility easement should be provided along the easterly property line of the Onan property. 2.

Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: SF/N� Mix & R-1, R-3 E: City of Mounds View S: Multi-Family & R-3, M-2 W: Medtronics & M-2 • Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Use of property is consistent with Plan Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Proposed use of property is in conformance with Ordinance. Zoning/Land Use History: The Onan plat was platted into current configuration in 1988 to create separately described parcels for the contaminated portion of the property in order to clear the title for the parcel containing the Onan facility. Legal Description of Property: Tracts A-D, RLS 114 Council Action: January 25, 1999 Public Utilities: Available near site. Transportation: Property is accessible from the north on 73� Ave., from the south on 69�' Ave., and by a rail line running through the property. Physical Characteristics: Land is relatively flat, covered by tall grasses, small oaks, and popple trees. SUMMARY OF REQUEST The current preliminary plat was submitted in order to accommodate a new 406,000 square foot warehouse south of the existing Onan facility. The Onan property is currently split into four Tracts. The current Tract A is an area used as a containment site for the previous environmental concerns. Tract B was created to accommodate a planned building that never materialized and also contains a"french drain" system from past environmental clean up. Tract C has the largest land azea and includes the existing Onan buiTdings. Tract D was created to provide public right-of-way to Tract B, once developed. The preliminary plat contains 31ots, a public right-of-way, and an outlot. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of the subdivision division for a replat. The newly defined lots, with staff stipulations, will meet the code definition of a lot in an M-2 zoning district, except for Outlot A, which is to be used as a storm water holding pond. Staff recommends this approval be granted with stipulations. Staff stipulations aze found on the following pages. Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin 13.18 . .• �, ANALYSIS Hi to The parcels were platted in their current configuration in 1988. The purpose for the 1988 plat was to create separately described parcels for the contaminated portion of the property in order to clear the title for the parcel containing the Onan facility. By separating the contaminated parcels, the assessed value of the Onan property would not be affected by the lower value of the contaminated parcels. The previous owner of this property, Minnesota & Ontario Paper Company (which became Boise Cascade), had established a telephone pole and railroad tie creosote treatment facility which involved a dipping process on Tract A and a drying process on Tract B. in 1984, it was discovered that this portion of the property was contaminated due to the creosote operation. Boise Cascade, Onan Corporation, and the railroad constructed a slurry wall containment system in an effort to clean up the property and comply with a court order and MPCA requirements. In 1988, it was viewed as unlikely that Tract A would ever be developed due to the extent of contamination, but that Tract B may be developable in the future. In order to clear the title and stabilize the value of the Onan facility (Tract C), Onan separated the contaminated parcels from the rest of the site. All of the Tracts, except Tract D, meet the lot requirements found in the zoning code. In 1988, it was noted that Tract D did not meet the zoning requirements because it's purpose was to provide access to Tract B, if and when it was ever developed. The plat was approved with the following stipulations: 1. Tract D shall be dedicated to the City for street purposes prior to the issuance of a building permit for Tract B. if Tract D cannot be used for roadway purposes due to NSP facilities on the easement, Onan shall dedicate a 60 foot street easement to the City on Tract C which would provide access to Tract B. 2. That stipulation 1 and 3 shall be filed of record. 3. That Tract D is unbuildable. 4. A park dedication fee will be charged for Tract B at the time a building permit is issued. Current Reauest The current preliminary plat was submitted in order to accommodate a new 406,000 square foot warehouse, partly on what was Tract B just south of the existing Onan facilities. The warehouse, located on what is now called Lot 3 of the proposed plat would be owned by Murphy Warehouse Company with approximately 60-65% of the space leased to the Onan Corporation. The majority of the space leased by Onan would be occupied by operations currently located in Murphy's Main Street Warehouse. The move would create efficiencies for Onan. 13.19 The Onan property is currently split into four different Tracts. The current Tract A is an area used as a containment site for the previous environmental concerns. Tract B was created to accommodate a planned building that never materialized and also contains a "french drain" system from past environmental clean up. Tract C consists of the largest portion of the site, including existing Onan buildings. Tract D was created to provide public right-of-way to Tract B, once developed. The preliminary plat contains 3 lots, a public right-of-way, and an outlot. On the preliminary plat, Lot 2 is identical to the existing Tract A. Lot 3 will contain the new warehouse building, and due to the proposed building size, the eastern boundary of Lot 3 is approximately 410' east of the eastern boundary of what was Tract B. Lot 3 measures approximately 26 acres, whereas Tract B was approximately 16 acres. The new warehouse is larger than the building previously planned ten years ago when the parcels were originally platted. The new warehouse has been designed and located so that it will not impact the "french drain". The new pubtic right-of-way will serve the right- of-way function originally intended for Tract D, but has been moved to the north to better accommodate future development. The location of the new public right-of-way created an outlot on the new plat, labeled Outlot A. A portion of the proposed stormwater detention pond will also be located on Outlot A. Lot 1 will contain the current Onan buildings and all remaining site area. As with the Sam's Club / Bachmans plat, staff recommends that the proposed outlot be combined with Lot 1. Though it is physically separate from Lot 1, due to the new roadway, it should be considered as part of Lot 1. This would eliminate the potential for the outlot to become tax forfeit and a future problem. As for the railspur, a private easement agreement is planned to ensure that the existing railspur, which passes directly through the Murphy Warehouse, will accommodate use by the Onan Corporation as well. The lot requirements in the M-2 district require a lot area of at least 1.5 acres, a lot width of at least 150' on a public right-of-way, and a maximum lot coverage of 40% for one story buildings. Lot 3 has a lof area of 25.99 acres and a lot coverage of 36%, but in the preliminary plat does not have 150' of lot width along a public right-of-way. A stipulation will be added requiring the public right-of -way be extended a minimum of 150' along the eastern edge of Lot 3. In all other ways, the proposed subdivision meets all of the lot requirements, except for Outlot A, which is to be used as public right of way. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of the subdivision division for a replat. The new lots, with stipulations, will meet the code definition of a lot in an M-2 zoning district, except for Outlot A, which is to be used as public right of way. Staff recommends this approval be granted with the following stipulations. 13.20 STIPULATIONS Following are the stipulations requested by City Staff, to be placed upon the property, for approval of the proposed plat: 1. A 20 foot utility easement should be provided along the easterly property line of the Onan property. 2. A road with 60 foot right-of-way, 30 mph. Curves, and necessary cul-de-sacs or bubble should be identified to provide access to the proposed lot splits. 3. The proposed access road will continue along the eastern edge of Lot 3 for a minimum of 150' in order to meet the lot width requirements. 4. The sewer services should be designed to service the proposed and future lots on 5 6 7 . the plat. Sewer connection to the MCES interceptor will require MCES approval. The water system should be designed to provide service to the existing and proposed lots. Fire hydrants associated with the development will be flushed by City crews. Operation, maintenance and repair will remain with the property owners. Storm water pond calculations need to be approved by the Engineering Department. A storm pond agreement needs to be executed to include the outfall system for the pond. 10. A user fee will be required from the property owner for the storm system placed within the Cify right-of-way. 11.The storm water outlet pipe will require the repair of Stinson Avenue and the installation of B618 concrete curb and gutter. 12.The storm sewer pond design must be approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District. 13. Petitioner shall combine Outlot A with Lot 1, for tax purposes, before final plat is approved. 14. Petitioner shall protection. notify the City of any contaminants that surFace, for wellhead 13.21 � � �, P � � � .Y , :.t _ � _ .� `- , 3x ; _ 4 K : � � � �.. - `'�v�' f T _ _��,-��: _ - ��-��:- :, -_ � =��.�:_ r� FROM :OPUS � OPUS. 1)ecembcr 3U, 19�)�; TO .

The item was originally scheduled for Council consideration on March 22, 1999. However, you may recall Mr: Hoeschen stated, As a result of the unfavorable recommendation by the Fridley Planning Commission on 3/3/99, we wish to evaluate our proposal. We do not believe this evaluation will be completed in time for our scheduled appearance before the Fridley City Council. A letter has been sent to notify those on the City's mailing list of the May 10, 1999 meeting date. ATTORNEY'S RECOMMENDATION Staff contacted the City Attomey regarding this issue. Fritz suggests that the City keep the item on the agenda, open the hearing to announce the request for continuance until May 10, 1999. This will create a formal record.

SUMMARY OF PROJECT Medtronic, Inc. is preparing a 1 million to 1.6 million square foot corporate office campus. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of the Master Plan request subject to several stipulations. City Staff recommends approval of the Master Plan request. The prepazed Master Plan captures the original vision for the site and is consistent with the City's redevelopment objectives. Several stipulations are recommended regarding a variety of aspects of the development. CITY COUNCIL ACTION Apri126, 1999 60 DAY DATE May 3, 1999 Staff Report Prepared by: Barbara Dacy 15.02 LEGAL BASIS FOR REVIEW Medtronic Inc. is requesting Master Plan/Project Plan approval for a several-phased corporate office redevelopment project at the Lake Pointe site at I-694 and TH 65. The intent of the S-2 District is to: • Allow for a mixed used development within special redevelopment districts as set up under Chapter 462 of Minnesota State Statutes • Allow for the maximum flexibility in the promotion of difficult redevelopment projects • Allow for development by a plan, which is acceptable to and in the best interest of, the City, and the overall district and development plan. The S-2 District requires Planning Commission and City Council review on an individual project or a combination of projects. The petitioner has submitted a master plan of the entire site that sets out the scope and size of the proposed development, and has submitted plans for phase one construction. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority is also required to review the proposed development according to the S-2 District. The Authority will have met on April 1 and their recommendation will be reported at the meeting. PHILOSOPHY OF MASTER PLAN The goal of the Master Plan is to establish the site as a world headquarters corporate office campus consistent with Medtronic's corporate mission. The proposed campus will contain four elements of Medtronic's business: • Worldwide Corporate Headquarters • Research and Development Center • Education Center • Neurological Business Unit Headquarters The proposed master plan envisions about 1,000,000 square feet of development with the ability to increase to 1,600,000 square feet if necessary. A linear pattern of development is proposed for the site. The taller buildings are proposed along the southern part of the site adjacent to the freeway. An open mall azea is proposed between the office buildings and the shorter office buildings to the north of the mall area. This mall area will provide the means for pedestrian connections between the buildings as well as provide the open spaces to create the "campus" feel. The shorter buildings will be office buildings or support buildings to house such uses as the cafeteria, auditorium, or fitness azeas. Finally, the parking ramps are proposed along the northern part of the site (as has been done in previous plans). 15.03 The heating and cooling functions of the buildings will be combined into one "central plant" facility which will be located just west of the pazking structure. The stormwater ponds are proposed on the east side of the site near Highway 65. The entrance to the development is a very important facet of the Master Plan. The plan proposes a separate access drive from Lake Pointe Drive across two ponds that will act as an amenity and as a means for stormwater treatment. The Research Center and Education Center will flank the access drive prior to entering a visitor parking court which will not only have some amount of visitor parking but will also have an entrance to the underground parking areas. Because of the size of the buildings proposed, adequate distances between buildings must be created to comply with appropriate sections of the building and fire code. A fire protection lane is also proposed to provide access for emer.gency vehicles. The existing streets will be removed and Bridgewater Drive (the current street name for the roadway on the north side of the site) will be reconstructed as a parkway, with a center median and one lane of traffic on either side. The existing road pattern was designed for a typical suburban office pazk and was created on the basis of creating a separate area for multi-story office buildings and a sepazate commercial area near Highway 65. It is proposed that the reverse curve that currently exists (where Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive intersect) be removed and Bridgewater Drive be reconstructed in a straighter alignment. The proposed alignment provides a safe, more direct access to the development, and it also reduces the amount of space in the site occupied by public streets. The parkway concept not only creates a stately campus feel, but will also create the impression of a low speed roadway. In order to realign the roadway, six single-family homes must be removed as well as the existing stormwater pond and a portion of Carrie Lane. Seven homeowners were approached for acquisition but one of them decided not to sell (see Vacation Request report). EXISTING ZONING PATTERN A majority of the site is zoned S-2 Redevelopment District. R-1, Single Family Residential zoning exists along the north 126 feet of the development. The realignment of Bridgewater Drive will occur in existing R-1 areas, but rezoning is not required for a public right of way. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS A neighborhood meeting was conducted on February 4, 1999, to discuss the project and to review the process. Another meeting was held with the neighbors on the north side of the site on March 3, 1999, to discuss the issues pertaining to the removal of Carrie Lane. 15.04 PROJECT SIZE AND PHASING Although the Master Plan proposes 1,000,000 square feet of development, the AUAR and Mitigation Plan is written to gain approval of up to 1,600,000 square feet of development if necessary. The land uses may include: • 1,350,000 square feet office/research and development • 50,000 square feet education • 200,000 square feet light industrial The industrial land use may be replaced by office uses. Phase one construction proposes 60,000 square feet for the education center. Phase I is planned for completion in 2001. Additional phases will occur in the next ten to fifteen yeazs, but the environmental analysis assumed build-out in 10 yeazs in 400,000 square foot increments beginning in 1999. PHASE I Six buildings are proposed in Phase I totaling 461,623 gross square feet (see synopsis of project attached) and will be located on a 22 acre lot. The existing streets that are currently on the site will be removed, and the new parkway will be constructed as part of Phase I construction. The tallest building will be the corporate headquarters building with four office floors. It will be the centerpiece of the first phase, and will be 85 feet in height. The remaining office buildings will be shorter at 70 feet and 55 feet. The Corporate Commons building will be the shortest building at 40 feet. A six level parking structure is proposed to serve Phase I and is located between the new parkway and the Corporate Commons building. Two levels of the parking structure will be below grade. The remaining levels above grade will extend to a height of 40 feet above grade (the final elevations of the site aze currently being determined). The parkin8 ramp will provide about 1,035 spaces, which exceeds the code required amount of 917 spaces. About 1,080 employees are anticipated for Phase I and 3,000 to 4,000 are proj ected at full build out. TRAFFIC A traffic study was completed by the petitioner to analyze the impacts to the surrounding roadway systems from the proposed development. The directional distribution assumption for the traffic generated by the development was based on current Medtronic employee information. It was assumed, that about 50 percent of the traffic would come from the east, approximately 35 percent from the north via TH 65 and TH 47, about 25 percent would come from the west on I-694, and about 20 percent would come from the east on I-694. The very small remaining amount of traffic would be divided in a11 15.05 directions. Key intersections that were analyzed included TH 65 and Lake Pointe Drive, TH 47 and 57`� Avenue, and the local streets on the west side of the campus including 7�' Street and 57th Avenue. A one percent yearly growth rate was also assumed for background traffic. Peak hour capacity of each intersection was analyzed for the year 2010. Assuming full build out of 1,600,000 squaze feet, the TH 65 and Lake Pointe Drive intersection will drop to a level of service F in the yeaz 2010, and the TH 47 and 57`� Avenue intersection will drop to a level of service E. The 7`h Street and 57th Avenue intersection would drop from a level service A to a level of service C in the p.m. peak hour. The new intersection of Bridgewater Drive with 7`h Street would have a level of service A in the year 2010. It is important to note; however, that in the case of the TH 65 and Lake Pointe Drive intersection and the TH 47 and 57`h Avenue intersections, the p.m. peak hour levels of service fall to a level of service E and D respectively in the yeaz 2010, if the proposed development did not occur. The primary reason for the drop in the level of service under the no-build condition is the amount of through volume going northbound on TH 65 and TH 47 during the p.m. peak hour. The following improvements were identified to be completed by the year 2010 to improve operations: Stripping an exclusive right turn lane for the west approach of 57`h Avenue to 7`h Street to facilitate traffic going to the site from TH 47. • Stripping an exclusive left turn lane for northbound 7`h Street to west bound 57`n Avenue traffic. This lane would allow the northbound 7�' Street traffic to clear faster increasing the available gaps for east bound 57�' Avenue through and north bound turning traffic movements. • Construction of a free right turn lane on the east approach of 57th Avenue intersection with TH 47 to facilitate west bound 57`� to northbound TH 47 traffic movement. In addition to these improvements, the City is reviewing the potential to add a third northbound and southbound through lane on TH 65 from I-694 to 100 feet north of 63'� Avenue. If this improvement were completed, it would improve the level of service at the TH 65/Lake Pointe intersection to a level of service C in the afternoon peak hour in 2010, as compared to the level of service F. Soil borings have been completed along the embankment on TH 65 and are currently being evaluated to determine if a sheet pile wall construction could be completed to add th� Ianes in each direction. This option would minimize the impact to Moore Lake. -�.` The new intersection at 7`h Street with Bridgewater Drive at the northwest corner of the site is 350 feet from the 7`h Street and 57�' Avenue intersection. The traffic analysis evaluated the average queue length for northbound vehicles on 7�' Street at 57�' Avenue. 15.06 It was deternuned that the amount of traffic during peak hour at full development would result in an average queue length of 2.5 vehicles. Completing the striping improvements on 7th Street as suggested by the traffic analysis will help to sepazate traffic movements, thereby improving intersection operations. The intersection improvement currently under construction will adequately handle the traffic from Phase I construction. The TH 65 and Lake Pointe Drive intersection drops to a level of service E in the yeaz 2005, if approximately 800,000 square feet of development occurs on the site. The city is pursuing State assistance to fund the additional lane construction on TH 65. If successful, the additional lanes would be in place by occupancy of Phase II or 2004. The afternoon peak hour trip generation at full development is 1,331 trips out of the site and 349 trips into the site. This compares with an estimate of approximately 1,200 afternoon peak hour trips from the 1996 MEPC development at full development in 2008. A stipulation is prepared to require the petitioner to complete a transportation demand management (TDM) plan by Phase II construction. Examples of TDM techniques include a car pooling program, flexible work hours, shuttle service between Medtronic facilities, and working with Metropolitan Council transmit operations to enhance transit use to the site. AIR OUALITY The AUAR included an air quality analysis from the traffic generated by the development. The analysis determined that carbon monoxide concentrations are expected to be below state ambient air quality standards for both the years 2005 and 2010. No violations of State ambient air quality standards for carbon monoxide aze proj ected. The central plant facility that provides heating and cooling for the buildings in the proposed development will utilize natural gas as the primary fuel source with fuel oil or LP gas backup sources. Emissions from natural gas powered heating units consist primarily of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water. Hydrocarbons, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides are emitted in very low amounts. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will require a stationary source permit. NOISE Noise from the traffic generated from the development was modeled for the year 2010. Because of the existing noise from I-694 there are areas around the site which exceed daytime noise standards even with no development on the site. It was determined that the noise levels in some areas will increase by 2 decibels, but noise level increases of less then three decibels are generally considered imperceptible to the human ear by MPCA. Further, noise generated by the development's traffic is exempt from State noise standazds. It was also determined that the existence of the new buildings on the site will 15.07 help reduce to a certain extent the amount of the noise from I-694 for certain areas to the north. The central plant facility will contain cooling equipment for the buildings on site. The central plant will operate 24 hours per day. Chilled water will be produced using chillers, and cooling towers will operate when the outside temperature is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit (from early April to late September). Phase one construcrion will include two chillers and two cooling towers and four chillers and towers at full development. A noise analysis for the central plant was performed based on its 126-foot setback from the north property line of the site assuming a specific type of cooling tower equipment. The equipment utilizes centrifugal fans in a forced air arrangement rather than propeller fans. The petitioner is also proposing a sound wall to mitigate the noise from the cooling tower. With the screen wall in place, the noise from the facility will comply with MPCA standards. Specific stipulations, however, are proposed to require Medtronic to install equipment with centrifugal fans, a structural screen, and to consent to monitoring of the noise from the Central plant in the future, if determined by the City. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD The petitioner's preliminary plat indicated a 110-foot right-of-way for the parkway for Bridgewater Drive. This right-of-way extended from the north lot line south 110 feet. It is recommended that the right-of-way be reduced to 66 feet on the west half of the site and 90 feet on the east half of the site and a separate outlot created to maintain the existing vegetation that currently exists along the north property line. The petitioner is also proposing to add additional vegetation in this azea. It is prudent to preserve this area as an outlot, as opposed to a public right-of-way, which would give any public utility or agency the ability to remove the vegetation. This outlot should be owned and maintained by Medtronic. The height of the ramps was a concern identified by the neighborhood to the north. Medtronic has determined that they can install two of the six levels of the ramp below grade. Installing part of the parking structure below grade minimizes the overall height of the structure. It is estimated that the pazking structure will extend about 40 feet above the newly established grade elevation. As more fully described in the vacation request staff report, the neighborhood to the north is concerned about the visual impact from the site, as a result of removing homes neaz Carrie Lane. BIKEWAY/WALKWAY A bikeway/walkway is proposed on the north side of the new parkway. A connection will also be provided to the neighborhood to the north, via a connection on the west side of Quincy Street and then ano�ther connection on the east side of Jackson. An easement may be required if the bikeway/walkway along Bridgewater Parkway cannot be located within the right-of-way. 15.08 PARK FEES The Park and Recreation Commission will be discussing its recommendation at its April 5, 1999, meeting. Previous decisions by the Park and Recreation Commission for this site has been to chazge the park fee of $.023 per square foot of land and require the petitioner to pay that in conjunction with Phase I construction. The proposed park fee amount would equate to $44,522.48. An update regarding the Park Commission's action will be provided. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT The east half of the site drains toward Moore Lake and is under the jurisdiction of the Rice Creek Watershed District. The west part of the site is under the jurisdiction of the Six Cities Management Organization. The petitioner is proposing to construct a series of storm water basins to ensure that the post development peak discharge rate will not exceed the predevelopment rate and to improve water quality prior to discharge from the site. Proposed with Phase I construction is a retention pond located southeast of the access drive from Bridgewater Drive. The pond on the west side of the access drive provides some amount of detention; however, is created more as an amenity. Runoff from the parking ramp and proposed parkway will be directed to another pond near the Highway 65 intersection. The petitioner must obtain Rice Creek Watershed approval prior to construction. The ponds are designed to meet Rice Creek, State, and Federal standards. The construction of the parking ramps also eliminate the need for lazger expanses of asphalt. In fact, the proposed development will reduce the amount of turf area on the site to 17 acres, thereby reducing the impacts from fertilizer and weed control chemicals. LOADING AND SERVICE AREAS Two loading and service areas aze proposed in the development at this point in time. One service area is located between the central plant and the parking structure and is accessed by a driveway from Bridgewater Drive. The location of the loading docks are adjacent to the buildings, such that they are completely screened by the parking structure and the central plant facility. The loading docks will not be able to be seen from the neighborhood to the north. A second area is currently under analysis, and is not shown on the plans. There may be a driveway on the east side of the pazking structure, providing access to a loading area on the west wall of the research building. SIGNS A detailed signage plan has not been completed at this point; however, it is anticipated that monument signs will be placed at the entry to the campus, as well as directional signs for visitors and service vehicles near the entries to the development. A stipulation is 15.09 recommended that a comprehensive sign plan be reviewed and approved by the City Council prior to issuance of the first building permit. ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR Final elevations of each of the building aze currently being prepared; however, the general appearance of the buildings is depicted on the plan sheets identified as A-100 Building Elevations. According to information from the petitioner's azchitect, the exterior of the buildings will be predominately masonry, either a wann tone brick or cut stone in the gold or light gray range, with lazge azeas of glass. Roofing materials currently under evaluation are standing seam metal or faux slate. All of the mechanical equipment is proposed to be contained within penthouses. Rooftop screening will also be provided at the top of the central plant facility. A final determination has not been made on the exterior materials of the parking ramp structures. A stipulation is proposed requiring that no less than 50°/a of the exterior of the ramp match the materials used on the remaining buildings. All building construction will have to meet the appropriate building and fire codes as adopted in the City's code. LIGHTING The petitioner is proposing installation of 20-foot tall light standards in the center median of Bridgewater Drive. The light standards aze spaced at approximately 100 to 120 feet apart and are designed such that there would be fixtures facing both lanes of traffic. The wattage of the bulb in these fixtures is approximately 175 watts. A picture of the proposed light standard is attached to the packet. A 30-foot tall standard is proposed on the top level of the parking structure. A similar comparison for this structure would be the lights at the municipal center ramp. A final lighting plan for the street and parking structure lights should be submitted, but the plan should also include any other lights that are proposed interior or around the campus development. LANDSCAPING The petitioner's planting plan exceeds the landscaping requirements of the City's code. Approximately 618 trees are proposed (461 are required) and 91 shrubs. Evergreen trees are proposed at 8 feet in height, two feet about the city's requirements. The deciduous trees also meet and exceed the minimum caliper dimension of 2.5". It is suggested that 10 foot evergreens be planted along the north wall of the pazking structure (in addition to the Linden trees) to help minimize the impact of the structure. The parkway is proposed to be lined with Linden trees and a variety of crabapple trees will be in the median. Austrian Pine trees, 8 feet in height are proposed along the north lot line of the development just west of Quincy Street, and additional similar vegetation is proposed near Jackson Street. If the Quincy Street and Jackson Streets aze connected, a 15.10 fmal landscaping plan will have to be developed for this azea. A stipulation is recommended which requires the petitioner to maintain the vegetation in the parkway right of way as well as in the area near Quincy and Jackson Streets. Underground irrigation is also required. FINAL AUAR AND MITIGATION PLAN The final AUAR and Mitigation Plan is scheduled for City Council approval on April 12, 1999. The comment period ended on February 10, 1999. There were no negative comments from any of the reviewing agencies of the AUAR. Requirements of the developer from the mitigation plan aze proposed as stipulations in the master plan. Specifically, there is a stipulation regarding the noise attenuation for the cooling towers from the central plant facility, and a stipulation that the petitioner submit a transportation demand management plan prior to construction of Phase II. Note: The six property owners who have agreed to sell their properties to Medtronic Inc., have each signed a letter giving Medtronic their permission to file these applications which affect their properties.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Master Plan with 17 stipulations. 15.14 CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council pass a resolution adopting the Master Plan with stipulations. 15.15 MEMORANDUM PLANNING DIVISION Date: 4/15/99 � � To: William Bums, City Manager � . From: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator Paul Bolin, Planning Assistant RE: Planning Commission action on ZTA #99-01 M-99-96 REQUEST Medtronic, Inc. has requested that the City of Fridley amend the zoning text to create new standards for multi-story parking structures (ramps). Construction of the parking ramps is an important piece in accomplishing the "campus" feel and design of Medtronic's Master Plan. Medtronic employees will be the only users of the parking structure. The new standards proposed by Medtronic, include: • A minimum parking stall size of 8.5' (width) X 18' (length) • A minimum drive aisle width of 24' for two way traffic BACKGROUND Current City Code parking regulations do not differentiate between "parking lots" and "parking ramps". The cuRent standards for parking stall size (10'X20') and drive aisle width (25'), were developed years ago when the average size of vehicles was much larger than those currently produced today. In the future, the City will likely see in-fill redevelopment projects, such as this one, which need multi-story parking as opposed to the traditional suburban parking lot. The smaller sizes will allow a business to obtain mo�e parking in a smaller area, leaving more land available for landscaping and open space. - , � • • • • At the April 7�' , 1999 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for ZTA 99-01. A motion was made to recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendme�t, ZOA 99-01, by Medtronic, Inc., to amend section 205.04.06 and other appropriate sections of the City's zoning code to create requirements for parking space sizes and aisle widths for parking ramp structures associated with redevelopment and other projects, generalp�;° located at Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive. The mofion carried unanimously. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission and hold the public hearing to receive comment on the proposed text amendment, ZTA 9��- 01, as presented. 7 6•� 7 City of Fridley Land Use Application ZTA-99-01 April 7, 1999 GENERAL INFORMATION SPECIAL INFORMATION Jim Driessen Medtronic, Inc. 3850 Victoria Street N. Shoreview, MN 55126 Requested Action: Zoning Text Amendment Purpose: To create standard parking stall size and drive aisle width for multi-story parking structures, based on type of use. Existing Zoning: S-2 (Redevelopment District) Location: Lake Pointe Drive & Bridgewater Drive Size: 1,935,760 square feet 44.4 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant. Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single Family & R-1 E: HWY 65 S: I - 694 W: Multi-Family & R-3 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Consistent with Plan Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Code does not distinguish between multi-story parking structures and surface parking lots. Current code requires parking spaces to be 10' X 20' have a 25' drive aisle for two-way traffic, and a 18' for one-way traffic. A special use permit for 9' wide double striped parking stalls is possible in the S-2 district. Zoning History: Originally used as a farm. Drive-in theater for 20 years. HRA installed streets and utilities in 1987. • HRA purchased site in 1992. Legal Description of Property: Fridley Executive Center Outlot A& Outlot B. Public Utilities: Water and sewer are available near the site. Transportation: Parkway to be constructed will provide vehicle access to the site. Physical Characteristics: Area is currently grass and planted trees maintained by the City. SUMMARY OF PROJECT Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a zoning text amendment to allow the construction of a multi- story parking facility with parking stalls sized at 8.5' X 18' and a two-way drive aisle of 24'. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of this zoning text amendment. Data from recent engineering and architectural manuals recommend stall size and drive aisle width be determined by type of use. All of these manuals suggest that in parking structures with low turnover and repeat users, like Medtronic's, a parking stall size of 8.5' X 18' with a 24' two-way drive aisle is more than adequate. CITY COUNCIL ACTION April 26, 1999 60 DAY DATE May 3, 1999 Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin 16.02 ZTA #98-01 Multi-story Parking Structures Staff Report REQUEST Medtronic, Inc. has requested that the City of Fridley amend the zoning text to create new standards for multi-story parking structures (ramps). Construction of the parking ramps is an important piece in accomplishing the "campus" feel and design of Medtronic's Master Plan. Medtronic employees will be the only users of the parking structure. There will not be constant turnover of parking spaces through out the day. The new standards proposed by Medtronic, include: • A minimum parking stall size of 8.5' (width) X 18' (length) • A minimum drive aisle width of 24' for two way traffic BACKGROUND Current City Code parking regulations do not differentiate between °parking lots° and "parking ramps°. The current standards for parking stall size (10'X20') and drive aisle width (25'), were developed years ago when the average size of vehicles was much larger than those currently produced today. At this time the only multi-story parking structure, in Fridley, is located at the Fridley Municipal Center. The top deck has parking stalls which are the code required 10' X 20' and a drive aisle of 24' for two way traffic. The lower deck has parking stalls that measure 9.5' X 18'. The upper deck is a mix of long term employee and short term visitor parking, while the lower deck is almost exclusively long term employee parking. The Northwestern Orthopaedic Surgeons Partnership will be constructing a multi-story parking structure this summer at 8290 University Avenue. In order to provide the number of parking stalls required by the code, the Partnership needed a number of variances. Variances granted related to parking stall size included reducing the parking stall size to 9.5' X 20', the two way drive aisle width decreased from 25' to 22' on the top parking deck, and the two way drive aisle width decreased from 25' to 24' on the ground level parking deck. This ramp serves a commercial purpose and will have more short term parking than long term parking. As the Metro area continues to grow and increased densities are encouraged, the City of Fridley will likely see more requests for parking ramps. Due to the proximity of the City to Minneapolis, Fridley will continue to receive requests from new businesses and existing businesses to expand. All expansions and any new business will require additional parking. As a built-out first tier suburb, large tracts of land for suburban type parking lots are not an option. In order to retain existing business and attract new business, the City of Fridley must consider ways to make the cost of building multi-story parking structures more competitive with large suburban type parking lots. One way to reduce these costs is to allow slightly smaller parking stall and drive aisle requirements. The smaller sizes will allow a business to obtain more parking in a smaller area. A 16.03 benefit to the City is the additional green space afforded by a smaller parking deck footprint. SURVEY OF OTHER METRO PARKING STRUCTURES 8� VEHICLE SIZES City Staff visited six multi-story parking structures in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. The range of sizes for 90 degree, full size parking stalls ranged from 8.5' to 10' in width and from 16.5' to 20' in length. Two-way drive aisles ranged in width from 24' to 26', while one-way drive aisles ranged from 16' to 22'. The size of compact parking stalls ranged from 7'8" to 8' in width ar�d from 15'2" to 17.5'. Clock wise: 1. 9' double stripe State Capitol; 2. S.5' stall River Gentre Ramp; 3. 8.5' stall Jackson Street Ramp; 4. 8.5' stall U of M. _:A-�-- In order to understand what types of vehicles would fit into the different size parking stalls, staff measured many of today's popular vehicle types. The following is a list of these popular vehicles and their dimensions. Length was measured from bumper to bumper, and width was measured from side-view mirror to side-view mirror. Vehicle Model Cadillac Sedan De Ville Chev. Ext. Cab Pickup (short bed) Chev. Ext. Cab Pickup (long bed) Dodge 15 Passenger Van Ford Crown Victoria Ford Taurus Length 17'3" 19' 20'3" 19' 17'6" 16'S" 16.04 Width 6'4" �,2„ 7,2„ 8' 7'3" 6'T" GMC Conversion Van Honda Accord Jeep Cherokee Nissan Maxima Plymouth Grand Voyager 18' 15' 14'1" 15'6° 16' 8'1° 6' 6'6" 6'3" 6'4" ANALYSIS The current code requirements, 10' X 20' stall size with a 25' two-way drive aisle, are much larger than what engineering and architectural parking design manuals recommend. These code requirements date back to 1969. From 1958 until 1969, the parking stall requirements were 190 sq. ft. with no specific drive aisle size. It appears that Fridley has always had much larger stall sizes than what engineering and architectural manuals were proposing at the time. In 1959, when the average size of vehicles was larger than today's vehicles, the City of Fridley was requiring parking stalls to be 10' X 19' while the 1959 "Architectural Graphic Standards" manual recommended parking stalls be 8.5' X 18'. The manual also recommended a drive aisle of 22' for finro-way traffic and 18' for one-way traffic. Data from more recent engineering and architectural manuals recommend stall size and drive aisle width be determined by type of use. All of these manuals suggest that in parking structures with low turnover and repeat users, such as industrial buildings, office buildings, and college campuses smaller sized stalls and drive aisles are acceptable. The belief is that these persons park in the same structure day after day, rarely leave until the end of the work day, and become accustomed to the size of their parking structure. Common size recommendations for uses similar to Medtronic, are a parking stall size of 8'2" X 18' with a 24' two-way drive aisle. Staff does not recommend stalls smaller than 8.5' in width. Parking structures with 8.5' stall widths are not designed for the high turnover and infrequent users associated with commercial, retail, or service uses. For uses with high turnover, many of the engineering manuals suggest a minimum stall width of 8'10". The 18' stall length and 24' drive aisle are standard regardless of the frequency of use. In the future, the City will likely see in-fill redevelopment projects, such as this one, which need multi-story parking as opposed to the traditional suburban parking lot. The land area for parking lots is fast disappearing. The City of Fridley can help to reduce the costs of multi-story parking structures by allowing slightly smaller parking stall and drive aisle widths. The smaller sizes will allow a business to obtain more parking in a smaller area, leaving more land available for landscaping and open space. The propose zoning text amendment, if denied, may cause Medtronic to construct an extra story on the parking structures or additional surface parking lots to meet the required number of parking spaces. This would cause a loss of open space, landscaped areas, and would be contrary to the intent of the °campus" development. 16.05 The zoning text amendment is consistent with variances granted to Northwestern Orthopaedic Clinic last year and similar to parking requirements for the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed zoning text amendment and recommend that the City Council hold the public hearing and receive comment on the proposed text amendment, ZTA 99-01, as presented. The following is the proposed text amendments to Section 205.04.XX of the City of Fridley Zoning Code. The text amendment would allow multi-story parking structures to have smaller parking stall and drive aisle requirements, than the general parking requirements for parking lots contained elsewhere in the Zoning Code. TEXT AMENDMENT, ZTA 99-01 Amending Section 205.04.XX ADD X. X. MULTI-STORY PARKING STRUCTURES A. Parking stall size for multi-story parking structures may be a minimum of 8.5' in width and 18' in length for corporate campuses, industrial, manufacturing, warehouse and storage uses, and speculative industrial buildings provided that parking stalls are for long term employee parking. B. Drive aisles shall be a minimum of 24' for two-way traffic and 18' for one-way traffic if structure is properly signed. C. Parking stall size for commercial, retail, or service uses shall be a minimum of 9.5' in width and 18' in length. D. All other parking requirements for the individual zoning districts, except those addressed here, shall apply to multi-story parking structures. E. Parking structures shall be constructed in accordance with all Building and Fire Code requirements. DEFINITION Amending Section 205.03.XX ADD XX. XX. MULTI-STORY PARKING STRUCTURES. Vehicle parking structures comprised of two or more levels, where a ramp, direct street connections, or mechanical conveyances can be used to transport vehicles befinreen levels. 16.06 MEMOl�,ANDUM DEVELOPMENT DIRECT4R DATE: April 21, 1999 TO: Wiiliam W.

SUMMARY OF PROJECT Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a plat to allow construction of Phase I of the development of Medtronic's World Headquarters. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of Plat request PS #99-01 with stipulations (see body of report) CITY COUNCIL ACTION April 26, 1999 60 DAY DATE May 3, 1999 Staff Report Prepared by: Scott Hickok 18.02 Medtronic Plat Request Aprii 1, 1999 PAGE 1 INTRODUCTION Jim Driessen, Medtronic, Inc. has requested preliminary plat approval of the Fridley Executive Center 2"d Addition Plat. The Fridley HRA has co-signed this application due to its ownership interests in the property. The purpose of this plat is to allow Phase I of the Medtronic Wo�ld Headquarters development. This plat involves a total of 44.439 acres and encompasses the entire former Lake Pointe Development site. The general plat boundaries are the Donnay's Lakeview Manor residential development on the north boundary, Highway 65 on the east boundary, Highway 694 on the south boundary, and 7"' Street on the west boundary. ANALYSIS Phase I of this development includes a total of 29.577 acres. Broken into its component parts, 21.843 acres of the area is intended for the Phase I buildings and grounds of the corporate campus, .851 acres have been identified as Outlot B (near West Moore Lake Drive), and 6.883 acres of land are to be utilized for a realigned Bridgewater Drive. The remaining 14.862 acres are identified in the plat as Out Lot A. The entire build-out of the Medtronic Campus is anticipated to accommodate as much as 1.6 million square feet of building area. These buildings will also require parking structures to accommodate the vehicles of employees, customers, and guests. Streets Medtronic has determined that the current roadway configuration will not be appropriate for their development. As a result, Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Par{cway, as they currently exist, would be removed. The plat shows a 110 foot right-of-way along the northem edge of the development. As shown, the right-of-way would contain the parkway, bike path, and the existing planted buffer. The plat should be revised to create an outlot to contain the existing vegetation along the north lot line. The Engineering staff has reviewed the proposed parkway and determined that a minimum 66 foot right-of-way should be dedicated for the portion of the parkway west of the west right-of- way line of Quincy Street. On the east portion of the parkway near the intersection, the right-of-way should be widened to a minimum of 90 feet. 18.03 Medtronic Plat Request April 1, 1999 PAG� 2 Lake Pointe Drive is a municipal state aid street. The proposed parkway should be reconstructed as a municipal state aid street and should extend from 7"' Street to Highway 65. Utilities The utilities plan shows utilities outside of the public right-of-ways are private. In this case, all utilities outside of Bridgewater Parkway and 7"' Street are fo be private, and the maintenance of those utilities is a Medtronic responsibility. The HRA has an irrigation system that is currently in place throughout the entire development. That irrigation system has enabled the City to maintain a park-like site appearance. With the grading, road changes, and new building footprints, the irrigation system will be disassembled. In order to assure that the undeveloped portion of the site maintains its appearance, Medtronic must make the necessary repairs to continued viability of the irrigation system in the undeveloped areas. Storm Water Calculations, pond configurations, etc., have been analyzed by the City Engineering staff. Engineering has asked that storm water pond agreements be submitted and approved by the City to assure proper storcr� pond maintenance and to clarify responsibilities. The east half of the development is in the Rice Creek Watershed District. The engineering staff has asked for copies of all documents, calculations, etc. to assure the City file is complete and that they have a clear understanding of the requirements. Bikeway/Walkw� Bikeways and walkways play an important role in connecting neighborhoods, allowing altemative modes of transportation to and from the workplace and providing an opportunity for employees to exercise during their breaks. Medtronic has done a nice job of integrating bikeways and walkways into their plan. It is important that the existing opportunity for pedestrians to get from 7"' Street to Highway 65 continues to remain. A bikeway/walkway along the north side of the Parkway will provide that opportunity. Park Dedication Code requires that when land is subdivided, a park dedication fee is paid based on a rate of .023 per square foot of land. The park dedication fee for this development is $44,522.48. Park dedication fees are due at the time of building permit issuance. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission will be reviewing the plan at its April 5, 1999, meeting. 18.04 Medtronic Plat Request April 1, 1999 PAGE 3 Site Maintenance Boulevards in commercial business locations, industrial developments and residential settings are the maintenance responsibility of the abutting land owner. The configuration of this development and the newly defined right-of-way areas make it necessary to emphasize that maintenance of certain areas in this development will be Medtronic's responsibility. Emergencv Access The realignment of roadways will make it necessary to have an easement agreement allowing emergency access easements across certain areas of the Medtronic campus for Fire Department Personnel. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of plat request PS #99-01, with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall provide a minimum right-of-way width of 90 feet for Bridgewater Drive, east of the west right-of-way of t�uincy Street, and dedicate as right-of-way the land south of Lots 12, 16, Block 11 and Lot 9, Block 5, Donnays Lakeview Manor Acidition. 2. The petitioner shall provide a minimum Bridgewater Parkway right-of- way width of 66 feet, while also providing an outlot for the planted area, north of Bridgewater Parkway, west of the west right-of-way line of Quincy Street. 3. The petitioner shall close the Lake Pointe Drive connection to 7"' Street or provide "Road Closed" and/or "Dead-end" signage. 4. The petitioner shall recognize that all utilities outside the Bridgewater Drive or 7�' Street rights-of-way become a private system to be owned and maintained by Medtronic. 5. The petitioner shall repair and maintain irrigation system for the entire site. 6. The petitioner shall copy the City on all storm water submittals to the Rice Creek Watershed District including, but not limited to, plans calculations and narratives. 7. The petitioner shall provide Storm Pond Maintenance Agreement for all ponds within the site. 18.05 Medtronic Plat Request April 1, 1999 PAGE 4 8. The petitioner shall pay park dedication fees in the amount of $44,522.48, prior to issuance of Phase I building permits. 9. The petitioner shall construct Bridgewater Drive from 7"' Street to Highway 65 as part of Phase I construction according to plans submitted as part of this application and shall comply with the Municipal State Aid construction standards. 10.The petitioner shall install an 8 foot bikeway/walkway from 7�' Street to Highway 65 along the north side of Bridgewater Drive. Connections to the neighborhood to the north shall be made to Quincy Street and from Jackson Street. 11.The petitioner shall recognize and be responsible for providing a separate easement agreement where bikeway/walkways are not located within the public right-of-way. 12.A pavement stripe or other readily visible means of identification shall be provided on the surface of Bridgewater Parkway to allow a pedestrian crossing. 13.The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining the ground cover and landscaping in the median and the boulevards in the parkway as well as maintaining the landscaped area around Quincy and Jackson Streets. 14.The petitioner shall record an easement /agreement permitting emergency vehicle access on the site including access to fire hydrants. Planninq Coordinator Action The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat with the 14 stipulations recommended by staff. City Council Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council approve the preliminary plat with the 14 stipulations listed above, plus an additional stipulation regarding the letters of credit for the public improvements (see cover memo). : 1 . • COMMUl�ON Of r FRiDLEY EXECUTIVE CENTER 2ND ADDITION wj� o� f - ' � _ . � . . ....rvCE IUIVOSfS �1v0 �r �S NOi �fYOH9uF ic ♦CfUf�UES HEREU�I CO� C/TY OF FR/OLEY 53923 W Y _ � 41 J �` PROPOSED 011TL�OT C W �� SECZ,iI � II I II O. ;' ' r'' r �� : ,�� , .��nl ,��, :. <<�' �,� � o � s� [ ,�- U �.�J �J c . �' y ° .' ~ ' � , � .

Burns Ci Mana er !� � TO: . tY 9 �. FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Resolution Requesting a Vacation of a Portion of Carrie Lane Right-of-Way, Medtronic Inc., SAV #99-01 Background The Planning Commission recommended approval of Vacation request SAV #99-01, to v�te a portion of Carrie Lane based on option number one, which would not require reconstruction of ` Carr_�-ie Cane befinreen Quincy and Jackson Streets. The Planning Commission recommended this option subject to six stipulations; one of which recommended that staff try to find a way to obtain "the best of both options° . The Commission saw the necessity to retain the Carrie Lane Street connection, but also wanted to be sympathetic for the need for screening. The City Council at its April 12, 1999, meeting requested staff be prepared to examine all reasonable possibilities to achieve both the screening and street connection. In fact, because of the impact on the greater tra�c pattern in the neighborhood, staff was directed to notify the residents on Madison Street, Helene Place, and 58�' Avenue regarding this issue. The notice was mailed on April 19, 1999. Examination of options Two options were discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. Option one did not propose connection between the two streets. Option two proposes a street connection, but a creation of an 11 foot retaining wall. Since the Planning Commission meeting, the developer completed a more detailed land survey of the area where the six houses were to be removed. Better elevation information was obtained. Also, the petitioner's engineer was able to finalize the elevations for the new street/parkway in relation to Carrie Lane. As a result, a new option is proposed to be called Option 2A. Option 2A would permit reconstruction of Carrie Lane (24 feet wide) and would create an adequate area for a row of trees between Carrie Lane and the new parkway. Because the elevation of the land of Phase I will be raised, and the elevation of the area around the existing Carrie Lane connection will be lowered, the petitioner's engineer 19.01 Memo Requesting Vacating Carrie Lane April 22, 1999 Page 2 has determined that a retaining wall is not required with this option. The elevation of the parkway will range from 901 at Quincy and will drop slightly to 898 at Jackson Street. The elevation of new Carrie Lane will range from 902 at Quincy and rise slightly to 906 Jackson Street. An 8-foot bikepath connection is also provided with this option. The row of trees betvveen new Carrie Lane and the parkway would consist of Linden trees spaced at 40 feet apart, and several spruce trees planted at a height of 8 to 10 feet, between the Linden trees. In addition, there would be trees in the median of the parkway, plus additional Linden and 8-10 foot evergreen trees along the south side of the parkway in front of the parking ramp. Option 2A meets the intent of the Planning Commission recommendation. Additional Options Given the Planning Commission and Ciry Council directive to analyze all options, staff looked at the following options in addition to option 2A described above: • Creating an alley connection between the two streets (suggested by the Planning Commission). • Decreasing the width of the lanes in the parkway (suggested by the Planning Commission). • Eliminating the need for bike path (suggested by the Planning Commission). • Revisiting the original direction of reconstructing CaRie Lane by removing seven houses. The criteria staff used to analyze there options include: • Adequate roadway width for plowing and fire vehicles. • Maintaining existing street and bikeway connections. • Municipal State Aid street standards. • Adequacy of land area to create vegetative screening. The option which best meets all of the criteria is the original option of reconstructing CaRie Lane with seven houses removed (see attached drawing labeled °original plan")). The street connection would meet, State Aid Standards and would have a better curve radius at Quincy and Jackson streets. In addition 40-50 feet of area would be available for at least two rows of plantings. The main drawback to this option is that the lot for the seventh house is not a pa�t of the plat or master plan applications. The owner does not want to sell. Option 2A would be the next best option given the land area proposed in this application. A 24 foot wide road, while not meeting State Aid Standards (28 feet with no parking) provides an adequate roadway for 2 lanes of traffic and is big enough for the size of the plowing and emergency vehicles. An "alley" connection would be too narrow. Decreasing lane widths in the new parkway to create more room for screening would be contrary to State Aid Standards for the roadway. Option 2A also maintains the bikeway connection to the neighborhood. 19.02 Memo Requesting Vacating Carrie Lane April 22, 1999 Page 3 One drawback to Option 2A is the radius of the curves. Staff is currently evaluating options to soften the curves. A small amount of land area may be necessary from the Griffith lot. Staff, will update the Council Monday night. Secondly, the adequacy of the screening proposed by this option would have to be evaluated by the neighborhood. Staff recommends; however, that Option 2A be approved by the City Council. Neighborhood Feedback On April 21, 1999, staff received the attached petition from the residents requesting the Council reconstruct Carrie Lane to its "cuRent 40 foot State Aid" width and to provide "adequate buffering and landscaping". In addition, staff has been taking phone calls from the residents who reside on Madison Street, Helene Place, and 58"' Street. To date, staff has received 4 phone calls, 3 in suppo�t of Option 2, and 1 in support of Option 1. Recommendation The original plan (with the removal of seven houses) is the best option to reconstruct Carrie Lane. Given that six of the seven houses are part of the application, staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving Vacation request #99-01, to vacate a portion of Carrie Lane, Quincy, and Jackson Streets, subject to the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall re�onstruct CaRie Lane as depicted in Option 2A. 2. The petitioner shall dedicate right-of-way for reconstructed Carrie Lane as shown in the preliminary plat submittal. 3. � The petitioner shall submit a final landscape and irrigation plan to be approved by the City prior to issuance of the first building. 4. The petitioner shall submit a final construction plan to the City Engineering Department for review and approval p�ior to demolition of existing Carrie Lane. 5. The petitioner shall maintain all landscaped areas around reconstructed Came Lane.

The City Council has asked me to notify you about an. issue which will be discussed at the City Council meeting on Monday, April 26, 1999, 7:30 p.m., at the Municipal Center Council Chambers at 6431 University Avenue NE. The City Council will be considering. final action on the Medtronic development. As part of Medtronic's development applications, six houses are proposed to be removed at the end of Jackson Street and Quincy Street. The issue is whether Carrie Lane should be reconstructed between Jackson Street and Quincy Street, as it is now. Two options are under consideration. Option one would mean that Carrie Lane is not reconstructed between Jackson Street and Quincy Street. With this option, traffic would likely use 57`� Avenue to Madison Street to 58`" Avenue to go east bound to West Moore Lake Drive. Similarly, traffic going west bound would use 58�' Avenue to Madison to 57�' Avenue (or Quincy Street to Helene Place). This option may increase tra�c on these streets. Option two would reconstruct a connection between Jackson Street and Quincy Street. If reconstructed the existing traffic pattern would remain the same as it is now in the neighborhood. Because the Carrie Lane issue would affect you if it is not reconstructed, the City Council wanted to ensure that you are fully aware of this issue. You have three options to comment: 1. Call Julie Tostenson at 612-572-3592 to state your opinion (please leave your name and address). 2. Call your Ward Councilmember, Steve Billings at 612-571-5457. 3. Attend the meeting on Monday, April 26, 1999, beginning at 7:30 p.m., in the Municipal Center Council Chambers.

Apri120, 1999 Ms Barbara Dacy Community Development Director Fridley Municipal Center 6431 University Ave NE Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Ms Dacy; Over the past week I took the initiative to visit homeowners in our neighborhood regarding the various proposals being discussed for Carrie Lane as a result of Medtronic's planned corporate office campus on the Lake Pointe Site. I discussed with them the Planning Commission's recommended proposal to vacate Came Lane, as well as the two other proposals that have been discussed over the past few months (i.e., the original proposal submitted by Medtronic, Inc. to reconstruct a 40-foot wide Carrie Lane, and the cities alternative proposal to construct of a 24-foot wide Canie Lane with retaining wall). I asked the homeowners to sign a petition if they felt Carrie Lane should remain open and be reconstructed to its cunent 40-foot width. The petition with the homeowner signatures is attached. I summarized some of the information from my venture for your benefit: • I was able to contact about 100 of the approximately 120 different homes in the vicinity of Carrie Lane that would be impacted by the change (i.e., 57`� Ave, Helene Place, 58�' Ave, Madison St, Quincy St, and Jackson St.). • 94 homeowners wanted Carrie Lane reconstructed to its current 40-foot width (see attached petition). There are actually 114 signatures on the attached petition because spouses signed the petition as well in some cases. � Only 6 of the homeowners I visited either wanted Carrie Lane vacated, or they were not willing to sign the petition. I kept track of this separately (two were on 57�' Ave, one on Quincy St, one on 58�' Ave, and three on Jackson St.). The homeowner signatures on the attached petition shows that there is overwhelming support for reconstructing Carrie Lane to its existing 40-foot width, as originally proposed, to maintain the qualities and character of our neighborhood. Please share this information, as appropriate, with your staff, and the members of our city counci(. I would hope that this would have substantial weight into their decision on the future of Carrie Lane. Sinc rely, �c.%�0� Edward Hondl Homeowner — 685 57�' Ave NE Encl. (1) 19.12 April 12, 1999 Re: Medtronic Headquarters Campus I-694 and TH 65 Carrie Lane currently connects Quincy St with Jackson St to provide easy access to both 7`� street and West Moore Lake Drive for the residents of the Lakeview neigl�borhood, as well as other Fridley residents. With the construction of the Medtronic Headquarters on the Lake Point property, the Fridley Planning Commission has recommended that the city create a dead end at Quincy St., a cul de sac on Jackson St., and eliminate Carrie Lane. This proposal will adversely impact the character and continuity of our neighborhood, as well as the services we have grown accustomed to. We, the undersigned, want the Fridley city council to set aside the recommendation fiom the planning commission. We would like the city to reconstruct Carrie Lane to its current 40' state aid width to provide access to Jackson St and Quincy St., and to provide adequate buffering and landscaping from the Medtronic Headquarters to retain the existing character and qualities or our neighborhood.

Shoreview, MN 55126 Requested Action: Vacation of Carrie Lane right-of-way Purpose: To permit Master Plan approval for corporate office campus Existing Zoning: S-2 (Redevelopment District) and R-1 Single - Family Residential Location: Lake Pointe Drive & Bridgewater Drive Size: 1,935,760 square feet 44.439 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant. Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single Family & R-1 E: HWY 65 S: I - 694 W: Multi-Family & R-3 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Consistent with Plan Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Sections 205.24 requires Planning Commission and City Council review of the Master Plan /project plan in the S-2 zoning district. Zoning History: • Land originally used as a farm land. • Drive in theater for 20 years • HRA installed lights/utilities in 1987 • HRA purchased site in 1992 Legal Description of Property: Fridley Executive Center Outlot A& Outlot B(See attached documents for legal description of Carrie Lane r.o.w., Exhibit A) Public Utilities: Water and sewer are available near the site. Transportation: Parkway to be constructed will provide vehicle access to the site. Physical Characteristics: Area is currently a neighborhood with a development site to the south consisting of streets, utilities, grass, and planted trees maintained by the City. SUMMARY OF PROJECT Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a vacation of the Carrie Lane right-of-way to allow construction of a realigned Bridgewater Drive. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of Yacation request SAV #99-01 with stipulations (see body of report) CITY COUNCIL ACTION Apri126, 1999 60 DAY DATE May 3, 1999 Staff Report Prepared by: Scott Hickok 19.19 Medtronic Street Vacation SAV#99-01 PAGE 2 CAMPUS DESIGN The existing streets will be removed and Bridgewater Drive (the current street name for the roadway on the north side of the site) will be reconstructed as a parkway, with a center median and one lane of traffic on either side. The existing road pattern was designed for a typical suburban office park and was created on the basis of creating a separate area for multi-story office buildings and a separate commercial area near Highway 65. It is proposed that the reverse curve that currently exists (where Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive intersect) be removed and Bridgewater Drive reconstructed in a straighter alignment. The proposed alignment provides a safe, more direct access to the development, and it also reduces the amount of space in the site occupied by public streets. The parkway concept not only creates a stately campus feel, but will also create the impression of a low speed roadway. In order to successfully realign Bridgewater Drive, six single-family homes must be removed as well as the existing stormwater pond and a portion of Carrie Lane. Seven homeowners were approached for acquisition but one of them decided not to sell. The seventh property owners home is at 5695 Quincy Street. ORIGINAL STREET PROPOSAL When Medtronic approached the City with the proposal to acquire 7 homes, due to the realignment of Bridgewater Drive, staff instructed Medtronic to allow for reconnection of the streets and to reestablish the current street and traffic pattem. Adequate land area would exist (with the seven homes gone) to reconnect the roads with the proper radius and street width and to allow for some type of vegetative or other screening. Both Quincy and Jackson have 60' wide right-of-ways with 40' surface widths. With seven houses removed, Carrie Lane could be reconstructed with a 40' surface width. The curves could be designed to a typical design standard for slow speed residential travel. The area around the connection is shown on the proposed plat as right-of-way providing ample room for screening, snow storage, utility installation, public information traffic sign information, and pathways. A retaining wall is not necessary with this approach. In early February, Medtronic agreed to leave 5695 Quincy Street since the owner strongly objected to acquisition. At the time of the February neighborhood meeting, it was not known if the streets could be connected if this house was to remain. (The remaining six property owners have subsequently agreed to sell). 19.20 Medtronic Street Vacation SAV#99-01 PAGE 3 As a result of their acquisition efforts, Medtronic finalized its plans and two street options. These options were designed leaving the house at 5695 Quincy in place. Both options were discussed at the March 3, 1999 neighborhood meeting (see summary of ineeting attached as Exhibit B). These options are: ti n 1 Street Option 1 redefines Quincy as a dead end street and Jackson Street is redesigned as a cul-de-sac. f n Street Option 2 is a connected street that mimics the original Carrie Lane street design, although it is narrower than the existing street width. An 11 foot retaining wall will be required with this option. ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF OPTIONS Fire Safet.y Issues The City Fire Department must have adequate room to turn a vehicle around. The Quincy Street dead end proposal is not preferable. Snow Plowing Connecting Quincy with Jackson Street will maintain the current priority for snow plowing. If dead-end streets or cul-de-sacs are constructed, the state aid roadway designation will be lost, the efficiency of snow removal will be affected, and the priority snowplowing status would be removed and rerouted (further north in the neighborhood). Though, Jackson and Quincy would not be plowed as quickly, snow removal would still occur within 24 hours. School Buses The School District would prefer that the two streets are connected but if they are not, they will continue to serve the residents and students on those streets. Jackson Street would have a cul-de-sac which would allow the bus to tum around, and the Quincy Street service would likely be to the comer of 57�' and Quincy, thereby avoiding vehicular (bus) activity on the truncated portion of the street. Police Service There will be no change to the provision of police service with either option. 19.21 Medtronic Street Vacation SAV#99-01 PAGE 4 Planninq The existing street pattern with Carrie Lane has the unique advantage of providing a connection from 7�' Street to Highway 65 but at the same time being slightly circuitous preventing short cut traffic. Many people in this neighborhood use this neighborhood use Carrie as access to Highway 65. It is always preferable to avoid dead-end streets and connect them for snow- plowing efficiency, for connecting neighborhoods, for emergency vehicle maneuverability, and for continuity of travel through neighborhoods. Maintaining the connection replicates what exists today. ti n 1 Option 1 eliminates a connection between Quincy and Jackson Streets. As proposed, this option does not require a retaining wall, thereby allowing more gradual contours between the neighborhood and the path along the north side of the proposed parkway. Quincy Street would become a dead-end, approximately 5' south of the existing driveway at 5695 Quincy. Jackson is designed to become a standard cul-de-sac meeting all engineering standards as such. A 6' sidewalk would connect the pedestrian traffic from the neighborhood to the path along the north side of the proposed parkway. Another pedestrian connection would be made by use of a 6' sidewalk between the dead- end of Quincy and the pathway along the north side of the proposed parkway. ti n 2 Option 2 mimics the original plan by connecting Quincy and Jackson Streets. This option is different in that it only provides a 24' street surface. The existence of the seventh home in this location moves the roadway south, increases the severity of the slope south of the roadway and creates the necessity for a larger retaining structure. Though the street is connected, additional caution will be required as the 40' street surface narrows to 24'. Fortunately, a slow-speed, 90' tum will provide the optimum motorist ample opportunity to slow and position the vehicle as necessary to adjust to the narrower roadway. Space for a landscaped transition is reduced with this option. Though landscape opportunity exists at the corner of Carrie and Jackson Streets, little opportunity for landscape exists south of the 24' roadway connection. That area will include a 6' sidewalk, a retaining wall, and an 8' pathway. A pedestrian connection opportunity has been made allowing pedestrian movement east or west out of the Quincy/Jackson neighborhood. 19.22 Medtronic Street Vacation SAV#99-01 PAGE 5 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of street vacation SAV #99-01, to allow vacation of the existing Carrie Lane right-of -way. Subject to the following stipulations. 1. The petitioner shall reconstruct Carrie Lane as depicted in Option 2. 2. The petitioner shall dedicate right-of way for reconstructed Carrie Lane as shown in the preliminary plat submittal. 3. The petitioner shall submit a final landscape and irrigation plan to be approved by the City prior to issuance of the first building permit. � 4. The petitioner shall submit a final construction plan to the City Engineering Department for review and approval prior to demolition of existing Carrie Lane. 5. The petitioner shall maintain all landscaped areas around reconstructed Carrie Lane. Furthermore, staff recommends connection of Quincy and Jackson Streets in the manner illustrated in the original plan, as submitted by the Medtronic design team. 19.23 SUMMARY OF SURVEY RESULTS FROM NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MARCH 3, 1999 (UPDATED MARCH 26, 1999) 1. Twenty-five surveys were submitted. 2. One indicated that he is not prepared to vote. His suggestion is to hold Carrie Lane "as is". 3. Of the remaining 24 surveys, 13 preferred option 1 which would create a dead-end at Quincy Street and a cul-de-sac on Jackson Street, and 11 preferred connecting Quincy and Jackson Streets with a new constructed Came Lane. 4. If the 13 respondents who said that Quincy and Jackson Streets should not be connected, two live on Quincy Street, two live on Jackson Street, six live on 57�' Avenue, one lives on West Moore Lake Drive, and the remaining two did not leave their addresses. Comments on the surveys from these respondents included: • I think it is important that this business be screened as much as possible from the residential area. There would not be enough room to do a good job of that if Carrie Lane connected Quincy and Jackson. • Voted this way only if trees are planted where road (Carrie Lane) would have gone. • Can the entrance from Central be lined with trees on the north side of the roadway of Lake Pointe Drive? • Lots of big trees planted at the top of the hill between Quincy and Jackson Streets and the parking ramp not exceed more than three levels above ground. Also send info on changes to plan as of ineeting on March 3, 1999. 5. Of the 11 respondents who voted to connect Quincy and Jackson Streets, three live on 57�' Avenue, finro live on Quincy Street, and three live on Jackson Street, leaving three who did not leave their addresses. Comments on the surveys from these respondents included: • Require parking ramps to have two levels below grade, no more than three levels above grade. Maybe a nice fence on top of retaining wall like at University and Mississippi. Mini-playground at end of Jackson for neighborhood children. There are none in this whole housing project. • I think they (City) should condemn the house that won't sell and make Carrie Lane look good without the 11 foot drop—keeping the house there is going to add especially with a vacant lot behind it. • I feel the City should condemn the house on Quincy. This would cut costs and also make most people happy with the streets. • Remove the 7�' Street house on Quincy Street and move Quincy back, thereby increasing the buffer zone. Go back to your original revised plan (remove seven houses).

The new standards proposed by Medtronic, include: • A minimum parking stall size of 8.5' (width) X 18' (length) • A minimum drive aisle width of 24' for two way traffic • •uu •� : • At the April 7�' , 1999 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for ZTA 99-01. A motion was made to recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment, ZOA 99-01, by Medtronic, Inc., to amend section 205.04.06 and other appropriate sections of the City's zoning code to create requirements for parking space sizes and aisle widths for parking ramp structures associated with redevelopment and other projects, generally located at Lake Pointe Driv€� and Bridgewater Drive. The motion carried unanimously. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the recommendation �� #he Planning Commission and approve the first reading of the proposed text amendment, ZTA 99-01, as presented. Attachments 20.01 City of Fridley Land Use Application ZTA-99-01 April 7, 1999 GENERAL INFORMATION SPECIAL INFORMATION Applicant: Jim Driessen Medtronic, Inc. 3850 Victoria Street N. Shoreview, MN 55126 Requested Action: Zoning Text Amendment Purpose: To create standard parking stall size and drive aisle width for multi-story parking structures, based on type of use. Existing Zoning: S-2 (Redevelopment District) Location: Lake Pointe Drive & Bridgewater Drive Size: 1,935,760 squaze feet 44.4 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant. Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single Family & R-1 E: HWY 65 S: I - 694 W: Multi-Family & R-3 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Consistent with Plan Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Code does not distinguish between multi-story parking structures and surface parking lots. Current code requires parking spaces to be 10' X 20', have a 25' drive aisle for two-way traffic, and a 18' for one-way traffic. A special use permit for 9' wide double striped parking stalls is possible in the S-2 district. Zoning History: • Originally used as a farm. • Drive-in theater for 20 years. HRA installed streets and utilities in 1987. • HRA purchased site in 1992. Legal Description of Property: Fridley Executive Center Outlot A& Outlot B. Public Utilities: Water and sewer aze available near the site. Transportation: Parkway to be constructed will provide vehicle access to the site. Physical Characteristics: Area is currently grass and planted trees maintained by the City. SUMMARY OF PROJECT Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a zoning text amendment to allow the construction of a multi- story parking facility with parking stalls sized at 8.5' X 18' and a two-way drive aisle of 24'. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of this zoning text amendment. Data from recent engineering and azchitectural manuals recommend stall size and drive aisle width be determined by type of use. All of these manuals suggest that in parking structures with low tumover and repeat users, like Medtronic's, a parking stall size of 8.5' X 18' with a 24' two-way drive aisle is more than adequate. CITY COUNCIL ACTION Apri126, 1999 60 DAY DATE May 3, 1999 Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin Z�.OZ ZTA #98-01 Multi-story Parking Structures Staff Report REQUEST Medtronic, Inc. has requested that the City of Fridley amend the zoning text to create new standards for multi-story parking structures (ramps). Construction of the parking ramps is an important piece in accomplishing the °campus° feel and design of Medtronic's Master Plan. Medtronic employees will be the only users of the parking structure. There will not be constant turnover of parking spaces through out the day. The new standards proposed by Medtronic, include: • A minimum parking stall size of 8.5' (width) X 18' (length) • A minimum drive aisle width of 24' for two way traffic BACKGROUND Current City Code parking regulations do not differentiate between "parking lots° and "parking ramps°. The current standards for parking stall size (10'X20') and drive aisle width (25'), were developed years ago when the average size of vehicles was much larger than those currently produced today. At this time the only multi-story parking structure, in Fridley, is located at the Fridley Municipal Center. The top deck has parking stalls which are the code required 10' X 20' and a drive aisle of 24' for two way traffic. The lower deck has parking stalls that measure 9.5' X 18'. The upper deck is a mix of long term employee and short term visitor parking, while the lower deck is almost exclusively long term employee parking. The Northwestern Orthopaedic Surgeons Partnership will be constructing a multi-story parking structure this summer at 8290 University Avenue. In order to provide the number of parking stalls required by the code, the Partnership needed a number of variances. Variances granted related to parking stall size included reducing the parking stall size to 9.5' X 20', the two way drive aisle width decreased from 25' to 22' on the top parking deck, and the two way drive aisle width decreased f�om 25' to 24' on the ground level parking deck. This ramp serves a commercial purpose and will have more short term parking than long term parking. As the Metro area continues to grow and increased densities are encouraged, the City of Fridley will likely see more requests for parking ramps. Due to the proximity of the City to Minneapolis, Fridley will continue to receive requests from new businesses and existing businesses to expand. All expansions and any new business will require additional parking. As a built-out first tier suburb, large tracts of land for suburban type parking lots are not an option. In order to retain existing business and attract new business, the City of Fridley must consider ways to make the cost of building multi-story parking structures more competitive with large suburban type parking lots. One way to reduce these costs is to allow slightly smaller parking stall and drive aisle requirements. The smaller sizes will allow a business to obtain more parking in a smaller area. A 20.03 benefit to the City is the additional green space afforded by a smaller parking deck footprint. SURVEY OF OTHER METRO PARKING STRUCTURES 8� VEHICLE SIZES City Staff visited six multi-story parking structures in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. The range of sizes for 90 degree, full size parking stalls ranged from 8.5' to 10' in width and from 16.5' to 20' in length. Two-way drive aisles ranged in width from 24' to 26', while one-way drive aisles ranged from 16' to 22'. The size of compact parking stalls ranged from 7'8" to 8' in width and from 15'2" to 17.5'. Clock wise: 1. 9' double stripe State Capitol; 2. 8.5' stall River Centre Ramp; 3. 8.5' stall Jackson Street Ramp; 4. 8.5' stall U of M. �.r-- In order to understand what types of vehicles would fit into the different size parking stalls, staff measured many of today's popular vehicle types. The following is a list of these popular vehicles and their dimensions. Length was measured from bumper to bumper, and width was measured from side-view mirror to side-view mirror. Vehicle Model Cadillac Sedan De Ville Chev. Ext. Cab Pickup (short bed) Chev. Ext. Cab Pickup (long bed) Dodge 15 Passenger Van Ford Crown Victoria Ford Taurus Length 17'3° 19' 20'3" 19' 17'6" 16'S° 20.04 Width 6'4" 7,2" 7�2" 8' 7'3" 6'7" GMC Conversion Van Honda Accord Jeep Cherokee Nissan Maxima Piymouth Grand Voyager 18' 15' 14'1" 15'6° 16' 8'1" 6' 6'6° 6'3° 6'4" ANALYSIS The current code requirements, 10' X 20' stall size with a 25' two-way drive aisle, are much larger than what engineering and architectural parking design manuals recommend. These code requirements date back to 1969. From 1958 until 1969, the parking stall requirements were 190 sq. ft. with no specific drive aisle size. It appears that Fridley has always had much larger stall sizes than what engineering and architectural manuals were proposing at the time. In 1959, when the average size of vehictes was larger than today's vehicles, the City of Fridley was requiring parking stalls to be 10' X 19' while the 1959 "Architectural Graphic Standards" manual recommended parking stalls be 8.5' X 18'. The manual also recommended a drive aisle of 22' for two-way traffic and 18' for one-way traffic. Data from more recent engineering and architectural manuals recommend stall size and drive aisle width be determined by type of use. All of these manuals suggest that in parking structures with low turnover and repeat users, such as industrial buildings, office buildings, and college campuses smaller sized stalls and drive aisles are acceptable. The belief is that these persons park in the same structure day after day, rarely leave until the end of the work day, and become accustomed to the size of their parking structure. Common size recommendations for uses similar to Medtronic, are a parking stall size of 8'2° X 18' with a 24' two-way drive aisle. Staff does not recommend stalls smalle� than 8.5' in width. Parking structures with 8.5' stall widths are not designed for the high turnover and infrequent users associated with commercial, retail, or service uses. For uses with high turnover, many of the engineering manuals suggest a minimum stall width of 8'10°. The 18' stall length and 24' drive aisle are standard regardless of the frequency of use. In the future, the City will likely see in-fill redevelopment projects, such as this one, which need multi-story parking as opposed to the traditional suburban parking lot. The land area for parking lots is fast disappearing. The City of Fridley can help to reduce the costs of multi-story parking structures by allowing slightly smaller parking stall and drive aisle widths. The smaller sizes will allow a business to obtain more parking in a smaller area, leaving more land available for landscaping and open space. The propose zoning text amendment, if denied, may cause Medtronic to construct an extra story on the parking structures or additional surface parking lots to meet the required number of parking spaces. This would cause a loss of open space, landscaped areas, and would be contrary to the intent of the "campus° development. 20.05 The zoning text amendment is consistent with variances granted to Northwestern Orthopaedic Clinic last year and similar to parking requirements for the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed zoning text amendment and recommend that the City Council hold the public hearing and receive comment on the proposed text amendment, ZTA 99-01, as presented. The following is the proposed text amendments to Section 205.04.XX of the City of Fridley Zoning Code. The text amendment would allow multi-story parking structures to have smaller parking stall and drive aisle requirements, than the general parking requirements for parking lots contained elsewhere in the Zoning Code.

M-99-95 , INTRODUCTION Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction of a surface parlcing facility with parking stall widths of 9'. Nine foot wide parking stalls are a permitted special use in the S-2 zoning district subject to striping the space in accordance with City standards (double stripe).

CITY COUNCIL ACTION April 26, 1999 60 DAY DATE May 3, 1999 Staff Report Prepazed by: Paul Bolin 21.02 SP #99-02 9' Wide Parking Stalls Staff Report REQUEST Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction of a surface parking facility with parking stall widths of 9'. Nine foot wide parking stalls are a permitted special use in the S-2 zoning district subject to striping the space in accordance with City standards (double stripe). There is only one, 12 space, surface lot proposed by Medtronic which needs to meet this requirement. The ZTA 99-01 addresses the spaces within the multi-story parking structure. ANALYSIS The current standards for parking stall size (10'X20') and drive aisle width (25'), were developed years ago when the average size of vehicles was much larger than those currently produced today. The photo below shows how the Community Development DepartmenYs large (17.5' X 8') Chevrolet Caprice fits into a 9' wide double striped stall. � i S�■�■r -� � � � � �. r . __ � _ � :, �� . .-- . � • _. __ _ �, . � � . � _ .,., � .� �`3 . Large City vehicle parked in a 9' double striped State Capitol parking ramp. 21.03 The City amended the zoning text in 1990 to allow 9' double striped stalis as a permitted use in the industrial zoning districts and as a special use in the S-2 Redevelopment District. Since the ordinance was amended, 9' double striped stalls have been used successfully in the City's industrial districts. In the future, the City will likely see an increase of in-fill redevelopment projects. The land area for parking lots is fast disappearing. The City of Fridley can help to reduce the amount of land needed for parking lots by allowing slightly smaller parking stall widths. The smaller sizes will allow a business to obtain more parking in a smaller area, leaving more land available for landscaping and open space. RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit. Nine foot wide parking stalls are a permitted special use in the S-2 zoning district subject to striping the space in accordance with City standards (double stripe). There is only one, 12 space, surface lot proposed which needs to meet this requirement. The ZTA 99-01 addresses the spaces within the multi-story parking structure. 21.04 v V NOTE: STRIPES T� BE 4' WIDE. � CIT� OF� PARKING - , � STALLS 9 WIDTH FR I D LE Y DRN: MAV21 �� S�A�E: 7/5/90 3/16'=1' MEMORANDUM DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR DATE: April 21, 1999 TO: William W.

If any subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a City Utility System to a previously unserved area, the City may require the Company to make the subsequent relocation at the Company's expense. Nothing in this ordinance requires the Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconnect its Facilities at the Company's expense where such relocation, removal, replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience of the City and is not reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of a Public Way or City Utility System or other City improvement. The City will not require the removal of abandoned natural gas facilities, unless these facilities are in direct conflict with a Public Way grade change or proposed City Utility System or City improvement.

The relocation or removal will be at the Company's expense. The 23.05 provisions of this Section 4.2 apply only to Gas Facilities constructed in reliance on this franchise and the Company does not waive its rights under an easement or prescriptive right in the Public Ground.

The City must give the Company at least three-weeks' Notice of the proposed vacation of a Public Way. Except where required for a City street or other improvement project or as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the Vacation of a Public Way, after the installation of Gas Facilities, does not deprive the Company of its rights to operate and maintain the Gas Facilities until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and the loss and expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to the Company by the City. If the vacation of Public Way does not require the relocation of existing Gas Facilities, the City shall reserve a utility easement to the Company, created by and within the document establishing the vacation, or the City will preserve a right-of-way in the manner permitted by law. 4.4 Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal or rearrangement of any Gas Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or through the City of a federally-aided highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 161.46.

FRANCHISE FEE. 7.1 Separate Ordinance. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu of any permit, licensing, ar other fees, charges, or costs imposed on the Company for providing gas service or performing work necessary to provide gas service in the City during the term of this franchise, the City may impose on the Company a franchise fee.

The Company may petition the City to exempt the franchise fee applicable to customers who (i) physically bypass or (ii) unequivocally document in writing their intention and ability to physically bypass the Company's Gas Facilities for economic reasons, including the existence of a franchise fee. The City shall not unreasonably withhold such exemption in franchise fees for such customers. 7.; Calculation of Fee. The City may impose the franchise fee: (i) as a combination of percentage of gross revenues received from customers in the Residential Customer Class for its utility operations within the City and as a flat meter fee per customer, for customers in non- residential customer classes, or (ii) as a flat meter fee per customer within the City, or (iii) as a fee based on units of gas delivered to any class of retail customers within the corporate limits of the City. The method of imposing the franchise fee described above: percent of revenue (i), flat fee (ii), or per unit fee (iii), may differ for each customer class. If prior to the expiration of this ordinance, customers in Minnegasco's Residential Customer Class begin to purchase and/or transport gas from companies other than Minnegasco, the City may only impose the flat fee method (ii) or the units of gas method (iii), as a way of collecting fees. If the percentage of gross revenue method (i) has previously been implemented, it must be changed to method (ii) or method (iii). 7.4 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee will be payable not less often than quarterly and based on any of the alternative formulas described in Section 7.3 during complete billing months of the period for which payment is to be made. The franchise fee formula may be changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change must meet the same notice requirements and may not be made more often than annually. The fee may not exceed any amount that the Company may legally charge to its customers, prior to payment to the City, by imposing a surcharge equivalent to such fee in its rates of gas service. The Company may pay the City the fee based upon the surcharge billed, subject to subsequent reductions for uncollectibles or customer refunds. The Company agrees to make available for inspection by the City at reasonable times all records necessary to audit the Company's determination of the franchise fee payments. 23.07 SECTION 8.

After undertaking any work requiring the opening of any Public Way or Public Ground, Company shall restore the same, including paving and its foundation, to as good a condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain any paved surface in good condition for two years thereafter. The work shall be completed as promptly as weather permits, and if Company shall not promptly perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and material, and put the Public Way or Public Ground in the said condition, the City shall have, after demand to Company to cure and the passage of a reasonable period of time following the demand, but not to exceed five days, the right to make the restoration at the expense of Company. Company shall pay to the City the cost of such work done for or performed by the City. This remedy shall be in addition to any other remedy available to the City for noncompliance with this Section 3.4, but the City hereby waives any requirement for Company to post a construction performance bond, certificate of insurance, letter of credit or any other form of security or assurance that may be required, under a separate existing ar future ardinance of the City, of a person or entity obtaining the City's permission to install, replace or maintain facilities in a Public Way. 3.5 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles or towers for City fire, water utility, police or other City facilities whenever such use will not interfere with the use of such poles or towers by Company, by another electric utility, by a telephone utility, or by any cable television company or other form of communication company. In addition, the City shall pay for any added cost incurred by Company because of such use by City. 3.6 Avoid Damage to Electric Facilities. Nothing in this Ordinance relieves any person from liability arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid damaging Electric Facilities while performing any activity. 3.7 Notice of Improvements. The City must give Company reasonable notice of plans for improvements to Public Ways or Public Ground where the City has reason to believe that Electric Facilities may affect or be affected by the improvement. The notice must contain: (i) the nature and character of the improvements, (ii) the Public Ways and Public Grounds 24.04 upon which the improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the time when the City will start the work, and (v) if more than one Public Way or Public Ground is involved, the order in which the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to Company a sufficient length of time in advance of the actual commencement of the work to permit Company to make any necessary additions, alterations or repairs to its Electric Facilities. SECTION 4. RELOCATIONS. 4.1 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ways. Except as provided in Section 4.3, if the City determines to vacate a Public Way for a City improvement project, or at City's cost to grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public Way, or construct or reconstruct any City Utility System in any Public Way, it may order Company to relocate its Electric Facilities located therein if relocation is reasonably necessary to accomplish the City's proposed public improvement. Company shall relocate its Electric Facilities at its own expense. The City shall give Company reasonable notice of plans to vacate for a City improvement project, or to grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public Way or to construct or reconstruct any City Utility System. If a relocation is ordered within five years of a prior relocation of the same Electric Facilities, which was made at Company expense, the City shall reimburse Company for Non-Betterment Costs on a time and material basis, provided that if a subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a City Utility System to a previously unserved area, Company may be required to make the subsequent relocation at its expense. Nothing in this Ordinance requires Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconstruct at its own expense its Electric Facilities where such relocatiori, removal, replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience of the City and is not reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of a Public Way or City Utility System or other City improvement. 4.2 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ground. Except as may be provided in Section 4.3, City may require Company at Company's expense to relocate or remove its Electric Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding by City that the Electric Facilities have become or will become a substantial impairment to the existing or proposed public use of the Public Ground. 4.3 Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal, or rearrangement of any Company Electric Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or through City of a federally-aided highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 161.46 as supplemented or amended. It is understood that the right herein granted to Company is a valuable right. City sha11 not order Company to remove or relocate its Electric Facilities when a Public Way is vacated, improved or realigned because of a renewal or a redevelopment plan which is financially subsidized in whole or in part by the Federal Government or any agency thereof, unless the reasonable Non-Betterment Costs of such relocation and the loss and expense resulting therefrom are first paid to Company, but the City need not pay those portions of such for which reimbursement to it is not available. 24.05 4.4 No Waiver. The provisions of Section 4 apply only to Electric Facilities constructed in reliance on a franchise and Company does not waive its rights under an easement or prescriptive riaht, or State or County permit. SECTION 5. TREE TRIMMING. Company may trim all trees and shrubs in the Public Ways and Public Grounds of City interfering with the proper construction, operation, repair and maintenance of any Electric Facilities installed hereunder, provided that Company shall save the City harmless from any liability arising therefrom, and subject to permit or other reasonable regulation by the City. SECTION 6. INDENINIFICATION. 6.1 Indemnity of City. Company shall indemnify, keep and hold the City free and harmless from any and all liability on account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, the issuance of permits, or the operation of the Electric Facilities located in the Public Ways and Public Grounds. The City shall not be indemnified for losses or claims occasioned through its own negligence except for losses or claims arising out of or alleging the City's negligence as to the issuance of permits for, or inspection of, Company's plans or work. The City shall not be indemnified if the injury or damage results from the performance in a proper manner of acts reasonably deemed hazardous by Company, and such performance is nevertheless ordered or directed by City after notice of Company's determination. 6.2 Defense of City. In the event a suit is brought against the City under circumstances where this agreement to indemnify applies, Company at its sole cost and expense shall defend the City in such suit if written notice thereof is promptly given to Company within a period wherein Company is not prejudiced by lack of such notice. If Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will thereafter have control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City; and Company, in defending any action on behalf of the City shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or immunity that the City could assert in its own behalf. SECTION 7. VACATION OF PUBLIC WAYS. The City shall give Company at least two weeks prior written notice of a proposed vacation of a Public Way. Except where required for a City improvement project, the vacation of any Public Way, after the installation of Electric Facilities, shall not operate to deprive Company of its rights to operate and maintain such Electric Facilities, until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and the loss and expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to Company. In no case, however, shall City be liable to Company for failure to specifically preserve a right-of-way under Minnesota Statutes, Section 160.29. 24.06 SECTION 8. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Any change in the form of government of the City shall not affect the validity of this Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding the City shall, without the consent of Company, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided in this Ordinance. SECTION 9. FRANCHISE FEE. 9.1 Fee Schedule. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu of any permit or other fees being imposed on Company, the City may impose on Company a franchise fee not to exceed an amount determined by collecting the amounts indicated in a Fee Schedule set forth in a separate ordinance, as a percentage of Gross Revenues from the Public Street & Highway Lighting Class, as a percentage of Gross Revenues or a monthly meter charge from the Residential Class, or as a monthly meter chazge from any other Customer Classification, from each customer in the designated Company Customer Classification for electric service at each and every customer location within the City based on a Fee Schedule form similar to the following: Customer Classification Residential Small C& I and Municipal With No Demand Charge Small C& I and Municipal With Demand Charge Large C& I- Secondary Voltage Large C& I- Primary Voltage & Above Public Street & Highway Lighting Amount per Month The franchise fee amount collected from each and every customer location in a Customer Classification shall be determined so that the total franchise fee amount collected annually from all customers in such Customer Classification does not exceed what is estimated by Company to be four percent of the total annual Gross Revenues from such Customer Classification. The franchise fee imposed on all customers within a non-residential Customer Classification shall not exceed an amount which is estimated by Company to be five percent of the average annual bill collected from customers in the Small Customer Group in such Customer Classification. The Small Customer Group for each non- residential Customer Classification with more than 50 customers shall constitute 25 percent of the actual customers within the City in such Customer Classification which are estimated by Company to be the customers from which Company collects its lowest annual revenues within such Customer Classification. The Small Customer Group for each non-residential Customer Classification with 50 or fewer customers shall constitute ten percent of the actual customers within the City in such Customer Classification which are estimated by Company to be the customers from which Company collects its lowest annual revenues within such Customer Classification.. Company shall within 60 days of City's request provide City with revenue estimates setting forth the revenues from the Small Customer group for planning a Fee Schedule. 24.07 9.2 Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by a separate ordinance duly adopted by the City Council, which ordinance shall not be adopted until at least 60 days after written notice enclosing such proposed ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail. The fee shall not become effective until at least 60 days after written notice enclosing such adopted ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail. Section 2.5 shall constitute the sole remedy for solving disputes between Company and the City in regard to the interpretation of, or enforcement of. the separate ordinance. No action by the City to implement a separate ordinance will commence until this Ordinance is effective. A separate ordinance which imposes a lesser franchise fee on the Residential Class than the franchise fee imposed on any other Customer Classification, measured as a percentage of estimated total annual Gross Revenues from all customers in each such class, shall not be effective against Company. The payment of a franchise fee as provided by this Section 9.2 does not relieve Company from paying fees to City unrelated to the installation, ownership or operation of Electric Facilities, such as building permit fees. 9.3 Terms Defined. For the purpose of this Section 9, the following definitions apply: 9.3.1 "Customer Classification" refers to the classes listed on the Fee Schedule and as defined or determined in Company's electric tariffs on file with the Commission. 9.3.2 "Fee Schedule" refers to the schedule in Section 9.1 setting forth an amount per month for various customer classes. 9.3.3 "Gross Revenues" for each Customer Classification means all sums received from Company billings for the sale or delivery of electricity to its retail customers within the corporate limits of the city within a Customer Classification, excluding any surcharge, sales taY, miscellaneous tariff charges or any similar addition to Company's charges to customers for the purpose of reimbursing Company for the franchise fee, sales t�, or similar charge. 9.4 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable quarterly and shall be based on the amount collected by Company during complete billing months during the period for which payment is to be made by imposing a surcharge equal to the designated franchise fee for the applicable Customer Classification in all customer billings for electric service in each class. The payment shall be due the last business day of the month following the period for which the payment is made. The franchise fee may be changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change shall meet the same notice requirements and not occur more often than annually and no change shall require a collection from any customer for electric service in excess of the amounts specifically permitted by this Section 9. The time and manner of collecting the franchise fee is subject to the approval of the Commission. No franchise fee shall be payable by Company if Company is legally unable to first collect an amount equal to the franchise fee from its customers in each applicable class of customers by imposing a surcharge in Company's applicable rate for electric service. Company may pay the City the fee based upon the surcharge billed subject to subsequent reductions to account for uncollectibles, refunds and correction of erroneous billings. Company agrees to make its records available for inspection by the City at reasonable times provided that the . � ,� City and its designated representative agree in writing not to disclose any information which would indicate the amount paid by any identifiable customer or customers or any other information regarding identified customers. 9.5 Conditions on the Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee sha11 not be efFective against Company unless the separate ordinance lawfully imposes and the City quarterly or ` more often collects a fee or tax of the same or greater equivalent amount on the receipts � from sales of energy within the City from every other energy supplier, provided that, as to • such a supplier, the City has the authority to require a franchise fee or to impose a tax. The "same or greater equivalent amount" shall be measured, if practicable, by comparing amounts collected as a franchise fee from each similar customer, or by comparing, as to similar customers, the percentage of the annual bill represented by the amount collected for the franchise fee purposes. The franchise fee or tax shall be applicable to energy sales for any energy use related to heating, cooling, or lighting, as well as to the supply of energy needed to run machinery and appliances on premises located within or adjacent to the City, but shall not apply to energy sales for the purpose of providing fuel for vehicles. 9.6 Exclusive Electric Service. Company is currently the exclusive provider of retail electric service to its customers within the City in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 216B.37 et seq. If Company is no longer the sole supplier of electric energy for any class of customers from which it is collecting a franchise fee based on a percentage of Gross Revenues, Company's obligation to collect and pay a franchise fee on such retail electric service shall terminate upon 20 days Notice to City. Company will agree at City's request to amend this franchise agreement to collect a monthly meter charge from such a class of customers which will result in the collection of approximately the same total franchise fee amount for the class as was being collected by applying the percentage fee. SECTION 10. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE. 10.1 Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is declared separate from every other section, provision, or part; and if any section, provision, or part shall be held invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision, or part. Where a provision of any other City ordinance conflicts with the provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail. 10.2 Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement between the City and Company as the only parties and no provision of this franchise shall in any ' way inure to the benefit of any third person (including the public at large) so as to constitute any such person as a third party beneficiary of the agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any cause of action in any person not a party hereta 24.09 SECTION 11. AMENDMENT PROCEDURE. Either party to this franchise agreement may at any time propose that the agreement be amended to address a subject of concern and the other party will consider whether it agrees that the amendment is mutually appropriate. If an amendment is agreed upon, this Ordinance may be amended at any . time by the City passing a subsequent ordinance declaring the provisions of the amendment, � which amendatory ordinance shall become effective upon the filing of Company's written � consent thereto with the City Clerk within 90 days after the effective date of the amendatory ordinance.

Burns, City Manager FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director SUBJECT: City Council Resolutions Establishing Two Sites in the Gateway East Project As Structurally Substandard Buildings Jim Casserly suggested that the City Council act on the attached resolution prior to May 1, as a means to establish for the record the ability to collect tax increment from finro of the sites that the Authority has acquired for the Gateway East Redevelopment Project. Passing the resolution simply enables the City with the ability to demolish the buildings and still establish the parcel that is as substandard when establishing a tax increment financing district. The adoption of this resolution by May 1, 1999, (the current date pending in the legislature regarding "binding agreements" for expenditures of tax increment outside of tax increment districts) would be a precautionary measure in case a challenge is raised by the State Aud;tor that the parcels were not officially part of a tax increment district. The City and the HRA have three years from the date of approval of the resolutions to file a request for certification of these sites as part of a district with the County Auditor. The item can be simply added to the end of the agenda for Monday night. Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution as presented. A companion resolution will be presented to the HRA on Wednesday evening. BD\jt Enclosure M-99-109 04/22/99 THU 16::.45 FA% 612 885 5969 KR.9SS MONROE f� 002 KRASS MONROE, P.A.
