Re: �me Care_Facility_._�
5310 4th Street NE
Fridley, MN 55421
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to convey my findings regarding the parking needs for the use of the proposed building
located at 5310 4`h Street NW. At my meeting with you and other members of the City on April 15`h, a concern
for the number of onsite parking spaces was expressed. I have done some research and made some adjustments
to the site plan that I am hoping will alleviate the concern.
The maximum number of staff at any one time will be 6. Staff ineetings will not be done on site.They will be
held either at another location or through electronic media.The residents will not be driving and will require no
parking spaces.The license will be a om rehensiye HQme Care Pro_v_ider License through the Minnesota
Department of Health.The license will be held by Ashley Smith who is currently with Allina and Susan
McDonough who is currently with Fairview.They will apply for the license once the project is approved by the
City and we have a building permit in hand.They are modeling this facility after the Plateau Healthcare facilities
in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center.
I have made several changes and adjustments to the site plan to help our parking situation.The most noted
change is expanding the parking area and orientation to fit 6 exterior parking spaces.That with the larger garage
achieves 8%z total parking spaces which is only 2 less than the City's requirement of 10%z onsite spaces. I have
expanded the sidewalk on the West side of the building to make room for a bike rack. I have also indicated
approximate distances to the closest bus stops from the rear and front of the building.
The information and conversation I've had with the people involved tells me that the new parking indicated with
8%spaces, bus stop locations and bike rack will give us more than adequate onsite parking. At the April 15`n
City staff ineeting, someone on your staff brought up a similar facility just North of this proposed one who's
parking that was required is more than they actually use. This gives me additional confidence that our proposed
parking meets the intent of the City's requirement.
Thank you,

Hi Todd,
Julie asked to respond to you regarding your plans for 5310 4`�' Street. I can't recall if when you met with us in April, you
were told that this project would require a Special Use Permit. A special use permit is required based on the proposed
use, which we are considering a convalescent home/rehab facility in an R-3, Multi-Family zoning district.
This process is 60 days and requires Planning Commission review and City Council approval. I've attached the special
use permit application and the deadline schedule. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning Julie,
Please find attached a letter and revised site plan for a proposed building for the above address for your review. The site plan reflects
an adjustment to the onsite parking,the addition of a bike rack to the West and bus stop location notes.Please let me know if you can
approve this without a meeting ar if will have to wait until the next available staff meeting.
Thank you,
Todd Ofsthun,TCO Design,763-424-3676

The staff s positive recommendation is good. I understand, and I will be sure my clients understand it's no guarantee.
It could be a delay, your offer of working on permit approval simultaneously would be helpful. I will check with the client to
see if they want to take the risk of preparing all the document needed for permit prior to Council approval. If so, the delay
would be weeks not months.
Thank you for your quick response, I will try to get back to you soon.
Thank you,
Todd

I'm sorry,that is a good question. One staff member did note it in the notes they submitted to me, so I'm not sure if she
mentioned it and there wasn't a lot of discussion about it or not.
Staff would recommend approval of the request to the City Council.
The main reason for the special use pernut is to acknowledge this many units being allowed on this size of a parcel based
on the use. It will also recognize the shortage of parking. The property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family which wouldn't allow
that many units if they were standard rental units. It protects the City in the fact that if the use you are currently proposing
is abandoned in the future, the special use permit would need to go before the Council again before the change of use
could happen.
Will this process put a major delay on the project? If this helps,we would likely be ok with reviewing building plans
while you are going through the process, so once the City Council approves the request,the building permit is then ready
to be issued.

Good morning Stacy,
I was not told this at the April meeting,several questions please:
What is it that kicks it to this that wasn't talked about or noticed at the meeting?
Can we define the use better so we don't ha�e to go through this process?
Can we count on staff support if we have to go through this process?(I ask this so I can advise my client of the likelihood of approval
by the Planning Commission and City Council)
Thank you,

I just talked with our City Engineer. Since the site is small, it's likely not much will be required for stormwater runoff.
They want to see the pre vs. post drainage for the site, any maybe a rain garden will need to be installed to help with
water drainage. Do you know if any soil borings have been done on site?

Hello again Stacy,
Just looking over the submittal requirements and have a question. I don't think what we are doing will change stormwater
runoff and there are no plans to add or remove fill. That being said, can we get a waiver on providing stormwater runoff
and excavation calculation from a civil Engineer? I want to make sure it is clear to my client what to expect, or at least as
close as possible.
Thank you,
Todd

Just so you know, a special use permit, is considered a qualified "Yes". Which means the use is OK in the
zoning district, but may require stipulations to mitigate any negative impacts. That said, I don't really think the
special use permit will be denied, if the stipulations which will likely be related to getting the necessary permits,
parking, landscaping, storm water—just off the top of my head.

Hello Stacy,
I know it's difficult to cover everything in a short meeting with lots of people involved. I still like the meeting where I was
able to sit down with all of you at once, and perhaps we were a little ambitious to think we could have all the questions
answered in one meeting. This is the type of project where I could have planned on two.

Land Use Application
Special Use Permit #14-07
RE UEST
The petitioner,Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P.Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building at 5310 4`h Street. The
property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and clinic type uses are allowed in this zoning district with a special
use permit.
The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota
Department of Health.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The owners of this project have affiliations with Allina, Fairview, and the University of Minnesota to
offer the use of the proposed facility to potential patients. The patients using the facility will be
recovering from surgery, —ti --- -----,
- :.
transplant (pre-op and _: � �`, =.: �",�:� -_ � i'4 '

and medical services. � � �
°°�':=� �
This type of use is � h� `.,�i-�_ � ;

their own and do not � ' _ - `i.�.,, $ � �' __J
have family or friends ` " �� ���__r-�-�-:, ,
who can care for them.
The proposed building will be 3-stories, with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. Each level will
have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area, with living room, kitchen, bathroom, and
� laundry. The site plan allows for 6 surface
� P�NL/ SSTN AVE N( �
� �9„�a�� parking stalls and 2 garage stalls. All garbage and
�' _"" "" "" "'° � �� recycling containers will be stored inside the
, �t y,�

� � "" Y� � ��� _�^ landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and
� „u � "" "" „ � L31 perennial planting and will be required to

; $ 6310 „•_ ,,,� "" � �° University Avenue, north of 53`d Avenue, and

3I q��{;:F 5.?�[•fVFNE 53F.^AYEhE S3PDAYFHE �p�qy[yE with some parcels in the middle of the
neighborhood zoned R-2, Two-Family and
parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, Single Family. Within this neighborhood is a mix of single family
homes, duplexes, 4-plexes and larger unit buildings. The Bona Brothers property on the corner of
University Avenue and 53�d Avenue was rezoned from R-3, Multi-Family to C-2, General Business in 1971
and 1999 to allow that use to exist.
The original house on the subject property was constructed prior to 1949. A detached garage that was
accessed off the alley was then constructed in 1953. Based on building permit records this house had
foundation issues, so there was work on the foundation done in both 1957 and is 2003. The house and
garage were demolished in 2011, and the lot has remained vacant since then.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Hospitals, Clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3; Multi-Family
zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements for the special use
permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care use is most
comparable to a clinic, convalescent or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined that a
special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
The proposed building is 2,920 sq.ft. in size and will be 3 stories. Based on the slope of the lot, the
building will look like a 3-story building from the alley and more like a 2-story building from 4th Street.
Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms, so the building has the ability to house a total of 15 patients.
Due to the medical conditions the patients have, they are unable to drive. As a result, parking needs for
this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site. The petitioner has articulated that the maximum
number of staff on site at any one time will be 6. Any staff ineetings for employees will either occur off-
site or through electronic media. The site plan shows 6 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls within
the building, both areas will be accessed from the alley for a total of 8 parking stalls. The building will
only be accessed from 4th Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Based on code requirements for a nursing home, which is the most similar use to the comprehensive
home care use, 8 parking stalls are required. Though the parking requirements are being met, staff
does have concerns as to how this use will function and whether or not 8 stalls will be enough. As a
result, a stipulation will be placed on the special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes an
issue for this site, the special use permit will need to go back before the City Council for further review.
The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the use of
the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in it didn't have
health conditions that didn't allow them to drive.
The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The petitioner has submitted a
landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be further reviewed by City
staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospital, clinics and nursing homes
are a permitted special use in rhe R-3, Sing/e Family zoning district.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building,fire, and ADA requirements.

Re: Home Care Facility
5310 4th Street NE
Fridley, MN 55421
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to convey my findings regarding the parking needs fo�the use of the proposed building
located at 5310 4`h Street N'(Si.At my meeting with you and other members of the City on April 15th,a concern
for the number of onsite parking spaces was expressed. I have done some research and made some adjustments
to the site plan that I am hoping will alleviate the concern.
The maximum number of staff at any one time will be 6.Staff meetings will not be done on site.They will be
held either at another location or through electronic media.The residents wil�not be driving and will require no
parking spaces.The license will be a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota
Department of Health.The license will be held by Ashtey Smith who is currently with Aflina and Susan
McDonough who is currently with Fairview.They will apply for the license once the project is approved by the
City and we have a building permit in hand.They are modeling this facitity after the Plateau Healthcare facilities
in 8rooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center.
I have made several changes and adjustments to the site plan to help our parking situation.The most noted
change is expanding the parking area and orientation to fit 6 exterior parking spaces.That with the larger garage
achieves 8%total parking spaces which is only 2 less than the City's requirement of 10%onsite spaces. I have
expanded the sidewalk on the West side of the building to make room for a bike rack. I have also indicated
approximate distances to the closest bus stops from the rear and front of the building.
The information and conversation I've had with the people involved tells me that the new parking indicated with
8%z spaces, bus stop locations and bike rack will give us mo�e than adequate onsite parking. At the April 15`n
City staff meeting,someone on your staff brought up a similar facility just North of this proposed one who's
parking that was required is more than they actually use.This gives me additional confidence that our proposed
parking meets the intent of the City's requirement.

7o whom it may concern,
A.P.Ventures is proposing to construct a Comprehensive Home Care building located at 5310 4"'Street N.E.We
are submitting a Conditional Use Permit Application because the site is zoned R-3.The use will be a 24 hour
adult day care for patients recovering from surgery,transplant(pre-op and post op),on ventilators,etc.
The patients wilt be bed ridden for the most part.They are patients,who because of inedical reasons,cannot be
on their own and do not have family or friends who can care for them.The Principles currently have affiliations
with Allina, Fairview and the University of Minnesota.They are also close to having an affiliation with the Mayo.
There will be a small staff on duty 24 hours.Staff meetings will not be done on site.They will be held either at
another location or through electronic media.
The facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota Department of
Health.The license will be held by Ashley Smith who is currently with Allina and Susan McDonough who is
currently with Fairview.The Principles are motivated to use this facility as a model for future facilities. It is their
intention to maintain and operate this facility as such. It will prove to be an asset to the neighborhood and the
City of Fridley.

Re: Home Care Facility
5310 4`h Street NE
Fridley, MN 55421
Hello Stacy,
Thank you for fielding questions from your citizens and passing them on to me. I think it's good you have
concerned citizens. It is important to the people asking for the Conditional Use Permit that this is a well run,low
key facility that will not have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Per your request for someone with more
knowledge of operations, unfortunately with such short notice, Susan McDonough is tied up and will try to field
questions as they come up. I am trying to get more information before the meeting.
The deliveries to this facility will depend on the number of patients at any one time.This is not a clinic or a
hospital.The deliveries will probably be made with smaller vehicles. Similar to fed-ex or UPS type vans.There
should only be a little increase of deliveries to a traditional three unit building.They will be made from the alley
side where we are proposing adequate driveway to ensure the delivery vans will be on site during their visit.The
location of the deliveries and the privacy shrubs being proposed,should minimize the impact of the delivery van
traffic.
The vast majority of patients that will stay at this facility will be bedridden. Because of the health condition of
the other patients,they will be mostly sedentary and will not be wandering around the exterior of the building.
The minimum stay of the patients at this facility is 60 days.The average could be one to two years depending on
the patient.The majority of the typical patient at this type of facility will not have visitors.There should be no
more daytime traffic than any other three unit building.
There are several advantages to this facility over a typical triplex. It is important to the owner and operators that
this site is well maintained and run.All aspects of site and building maintenance will kept to high standards.The
groups associated with this facility as well as others they are hoping to have an affiliation, have high standards
for this type of facility for their patients. While the activities of this building might be a little higher at times,
there will be no large parties, barbeques,gatherings,etc.
Hope this is helpful, thank you,

l2F:: Letter of Intent Foi�Twin Cities Medical [�acility
Dear Retro Compatlies Inc,,
1 am w�riting to express my commitment in being a part of the upcoming project that is being
proposed in the'I'win Cities melropolitan arca.
1 have been involved in sevei�ai discussions with tY�e creators of an innovative concept for-
the care of high acuity chronically ill members. Gf�itically ill patients are often restricled to
the hos�ital dtie to the limited options available�"to outpatient care. As suc}i,there is
tremendous Financial burden co both the comrniinity and the patient. '1'he creators of the
Twin Ci[ies comcnunity for the chronic�ally ill project have developed a concept that strikes a
balance betwecn contralling healthcare cost,tvhile providing high quality service,
!t is apParent that a fragile patient cared far in an educated,sl<illed, compassionate and
vi�ilant manncr will not only maintain wpflness but also avoid costly ernergency room visits
and/or hospital stays. It is inspiring,tha this project is able meet the complexity of lligli
acuity care bv providing dialysis,ventil�tor support, pre/post organ transplant, memory,
bariatric, heart failure and bariatric ca�e.
I
1 am comri�itted in fulfilling my role�y� directoi•of inedirine for this facility. My training is
both in internal medicine and nephrology. .Besides appealing to my sense of humanity,as a
nephrologist, l am also excited abo�it the potential of developing an on-site kidney care
prograit�,which in of it self would,�l�e one oi'few in the country. Providing home
hemodialysis and peritoneal dial Sis would puC this pr�ject ahead of any nther facility in the
state alone, not to rl�ention,the umerous other high aciiity services.
t'
The medical communily is in i•e need of such a program that is f�ocused on irnprovinK both
patient cart and qualily of IiF�i�Jhil� maintaining lower healthcare expense. i am lool<ing
for�-��ard to being a part of th�'s project as it succeeds to fiilfiU lhc nei�ds c�f those often

Consideration of a Resolution for a Special Use Permit, SP #14-07, by TCO Design, to allow a
comprehensive home health care use in an R-3, Multi-Family zoning district, generally located at
5310 4th Street NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff.
UPON A VOICE VOTE ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:24
Plamm�g Commission Meeting
November 19, 2014
Page 8 of 22
P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A.P. Ventures is
seeking a special use permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building at 5310 4th
Street. The property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and clinic type uses are allowed in this zoning district
with a special use permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License
through the Minnesota Department of Health.
Ms. Stromberg stated the owners of this project have affiliations with Allina, Fairview, and the
University of Minnesota to offer the use of the proposed facility to potential patients. The patients using
the facility will be recovering from surgery, transplant (pre-op and post-op) or another type of inedical
procedure that leaves them needing extensive rehab and medical services. This type of use is needed for
patients, who for medical reasons, cannot be on their own and do not have family or friends who can care
for them.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed building will be three stories, with a maximum height of
approximately 35 feet. Each level will have five (5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area,
with living room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. The site plan allows for six surface parking stalls and
two garage stalls. All garbage and recycling containers will be stored inside the building. The petitioner
has also submitted a landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required
to construct storm water treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
Ms. Stromberg stated the subject property is zoned R-3, Mu1ti-Family and has been since the City's first
zoning map. The majority of this neighborhood (east of University Avenue, north of 53`d Avenue, and
west of 7`h Street) is zoned R-3, Multi-Family,with some parcels in the middle of the neighborhood zoned
R-2, Two-Family and parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, Single Family. Within this neighborhood is a
mix of single-family homes, duplexes, 4-plexes and larger unit buildings. The Bona Brothers property on
the corner of University Avenue and 53`d Avenue was rezoned from R-3, Multi-Family to C-2, General
Business, in 1971 and 1999 to allow that use to exist.
Ms. Stromberg stated the original house on the subject property was constructed priar to 1949. A
detached garage that was accessed off the alley was then constructed in 1953. Based on building permit
records this house had foundation issues, so there was work on the foundation done in both 1957 and is
2003. The house and garage were demolished in 2011,and the lot has remained vacant since then.
Ms. Stromberg stated hospitals, clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in
the R-3; Multi-Family zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements
for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care
use is most comparable to a clinic, convalescent or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined
that a special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed building is 2,920 square feet in size and will be 3 stories. Based on
the slope of the lot, the building will look like a 3-story building from the alley and more like a 2-story
building from 4`h Street. Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms, so the building has the ability to
house a total of 15 patients. Because of the medical conditions the patients have,they are unable to drive.
As a result, parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site. The petitioner has
,
� Planning Commission Meeting
November 19, 2014
Page 9 of 22
articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time will be 6. Any staff ineetings for
employees will either occur off-site or through electronic media. The site plan shows 6 surface parking
stalls and 2 garage stalls within the building, both areas will be accessed from the alley for a total of 8
parking stalls. The building will only be accessed from 4`" Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on Code requirements for a nursing home, which is the most similar use to
the comprehensive home care use, 8 parking stalls are required. Though the parking requirements are
being met, staff does have concerns as to how this use will function and whether 8 stalls will be enough.
As a result, a stipulation will be placed on the special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes
an issue for this site, the special use permit will need to go back before the City Council for further
review. The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the
use of the building is changed. The building as designed could not work if people residing in it did not
have health conditions that did not allow them to drive.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The
petitioner has submitted a landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be
further reviewed by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospital,
clinics and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3, Single Family zoning district.
Ms. Stromberg stated staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following
stipulations be attached:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements.
3. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility plan prior to
issuance of a building permit.
4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to
issuance of building permit.
5. If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use, the special use permit and
options for additional parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council.
6. If the comprehensive home health care use changes, the special use permit shall be
further reviewed by the City Council.
Chairperson Kondrick stated there are going to be some people visiting. Across the front of the
property on the street,there might be room for four cars that he could see when he drove by. Is he right?
Ms. Stromberg replied,yes, he is right if he is talking about just directly in front of the property. Ideally
they want the use to sustain its own parking on site. They do not want even visitors to park on the street
because the City is saying this use is allowed but they need to make sure they are meeting their parking
requirement. There will absolutely be times when visitors are parking on the street. People do that
anyways when they visit. However, the City wants to make sure that does not become an issue for the
neighborhood.
Commissioner Sielaff asked,what does that mean, issue?
Ms. Stromberg replied, if they start getting complaints or, as staff is out doing inspections in the

neighborhood and notice that there really seems to be a problem, then that is when they would start
monitoring it and then determine whether it should go back to Council.
MOTION by Commissioner Solberg receiving memo dated November 17, 2014, from Todd Ofsthun.
Seconded by Councilmember Saba.
UPON A VOICE VOTE ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Todd Ofsthun, TCO Design, stated he just wanted to note that it is qualified based on code as a nursing
home. It is not really that type. The patients will be there a minimum of 60 days and stay averaging up to
two years. It is not going to be as high of turnover of patients. Most of the patients will be bedridden.
They are high acuity type of patients, bariatric, post-operative, organ transplants, dialysis - very
immobile. They do not anticipate many visitors at all. The seed of this building is kind of based on two
. buildings, one in Brooklyn Center and one in Brooklyn Park run by Plateau Health Care. Those are a
little bit smaller and this one is much more high tech. They are going to be using telemedicine,tele-ICU,
connected through Fairview which will also minimize doctor visits, nursing visits, and keep the staff very
low, the activity level will be very low.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the buildings in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center are very close to where he gets
his plans. Therefore, whenever he had a chance he would swing by, maybe 10 times each building and
not once did he see any cars in front of the place. They had less parking than they will have.
Chairperson Kondrick asked, do they expect all the deliveries to occur in the back? Through the
alleyway?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, all would be through the alley. Yes, by medical standards this is a relatively small
facility. Deliveries will be via more the FedE�UPS style vans.
Commissioner Oquist stated he noticed they have a kitchen on each floor and they will be preparing the
meals for the patients who are there in those kitchens, right?
Mf. Ofsthun replied there are going to be some, maybe a lot, of premade meals because again he thinks it
is more of a hospital-type thing. He does not know whether there will be a lot of cooking but, yes, there
will be some preparation of some kind. He does not see it as commercial-type thing. The kitchen layouts
are very preliminary.
Commissioner Sielaff asked,what is the largest number of staff you have there?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, 6. It is 2 per floor, which is what the license will require.
Julie Jones, Planning Manager, asked about deliveries. She did not see an "office" notated on the
drawing. When deliveries are made through the garage door, is there some sort of a mud room?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, there is a mud room area, if you want to call it. Again the deliveries are not
anticipated to be that grand that staff cannot come from the third floor and accept that delivery and deliver
up to that level. If will be up to the staff of each unit if you will to get the supplies that they need.

� Planning Commission Meeting

Page 11 of 22
Commissioner Sielaff asked if the six staff would be there 24/7?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, yes, it will be required with these types of patients.
Deb Skogen stated she was here representing her mother who lives across the street at 5311 4`�'Street. To
assist her mother, Ms. Skogen has reviewed the City's zoning code, as well as Minn. Stat. § 144A which
references nursing home and home health care licenses for the comprehensive home care providers that
became effective January 1 of this year.
Ms. Skogen stated she understands the facility is planned to be the same size as the 4-unit apartment
building next door, and it meets all the zoning requirements. With the passage of the Affordable Health
Care Act or "Obama Care", she understands there are many changes occurring in our health care.
Ms. Skogen stated the applicant has stated the principals are motivated to use the facility as a model for
future facilities. While she commends the business of comprehensive home health care, she is not sure
this specific location is the right place for it.
Ms. Skogen asked, who is actually going to be licensed? What is the name of the company going to be?
What is their model specifically?
Ms. Skogen asked, will it include the telemedicine that the University is proposing where you have a
screen in each room and are telecommunicating with a doctor or nurse? Also, what kind of a license is
this going to be? Is it going to be a Class A license?
Ms. Skogen stated they have been told there is a maximum of six employees at the facility daily. She
understands there are five parking stalls plus one handicap parking stall on the outside of the building
with two parking inside. If this is a Class A facility, the statement of home health care services that the
State has designed have many services they could be providing. Will there only be six employees or
could there be additional employees for some of these services which include advanced nursing,
registered nurse services, licensed practical nurse services, physical therapy services, occupational
therapy services, speech/language services, respiratory therapy services, social worker services, services
of a dietician or nutritionist,medication management?
Ms. Skogen asked who will be making the meals and assisting the patients, who will be doing their
housekeeping? Will it be the same individual that is on the floor or will it be various different
individuals? Where the site is located with the alley, where are they going to store the snow so the six
parking stalls remain open?
Ms. Skogen asked, who will be referring the patients? Will the individual patient or their families have
the ability, if they find the location, to use it? They have been told that these are patients who will be
there a minimum of two months. In the letter included tonight it states they have an average of a two-year
stay. But they do not have any visitors. She finds it hard to believe that family and friends would not
visit.
Ms. Skogen stated if they had a facility having 15 patient rooms that were full. Say one out of five
patients had a visitor, that is three visitors, plus you have six workers. You have nine vehicles most likely
on that site at that time. She does not believe people will be coming by bus or even bicycle; they will be
driving.
' ' .

November 19, 2014
Page 12 of 22
Ms. Skogen asked whether there is going to be any signage on the building about what this health care
facility is? Will it be on the building or in the yard?
Ms. Skogen stated she did drive by today the two units Mr. Ofsthun spoke of and she did find parking on
the street in Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. She took some pictures. There were three cars parked
on the street in Brooklyn Park and two cars parked in the front area that they allow and the driveway was
completely empty. She found the same was true for the property in Brooklyn Center. And these are
single-family homes, ramblers that have been changed into this type of a home. You are looking at 4 or 5
units vs. 15 units.
Ms. Skogen asked, what happens if this model does not work? What happens to the building? What else
can go in there? What would their protocol be in an emergency? Do emergency vehicles providers know
to go to the back? Or will they be coming to the front of the building because she is sure there will be
some medical emergencies.
Ms. Skogen stated while she commends what it is, she thinks 15 rooms is a lot. Why can't it be a little
smaller? Maybe 8 rooms opposed to 15. That might help alleviate some of the parking issues that are
going to occur.
Ms. Skogen stated she has been over to her mother's several times and Bona Brothers has their employees
parking on the street. When she goes over to visit her mother, she cannot always park in front of her
house. She has to park down the street. That is why parking can really become an issue. That is her
mother's biggest fear. She is 81 years old. She has a hard time getting in and out.
Commissioner Sielaff asked Ms. Skogen if one of her issues here her concern about additional
professionals coming over there over and above the six?
Ms. Skogen replied,yes.
Pat Breitkreutz, 5315 4`h Street. Bona Brothers probably has six vehicles along their side of the street or
at the vacant lot most of the time. They were told that Bona Brothers do not want the extra cars in their
own parking lot and is why they are parking them on 4"' Street. As to the eight parking spots but with the
two that are inside the building itself, will there be receiving doors? The rubbish and equipment would be
kept inside?
Mr.Breitkreutz stated his wife is a transplant receiver. When she was in the pre-transplant and the post-
transplant phase, they had a stream of people coming and going from their house. Two-three people a
day for rehab, people to help clean the house, etc. The plan the petitioner is proposing is not what they've
experienced. There is going to be a steady stream of people coming to that place.
Chairperson Kondrick stated the main thing for Mr. Breitkreutz is accessibility. There is not enough
parking with the spaces available?
Mr.Breitkreutz replied, absolutely.
Chairperson Kondrick stated not only because of this facility but because of other businesses around the
area, Bona's for example.
Planning Commission Meeting
November 19, 2014
Page 13 of 22
Mr.Breitkreutz stated he does not know if Bona Bros. would continue to park on the street because right
now they park in front of the open lot and they walk through the lot.
Pam Donley, 5305 4`h Street NE, stated her concern also is the parking. If it comes to the point the
parking is not working, then what? They are worried with the facility having so many units right off the
bat that there won't be enough parking. Her father was at a rehab place, it was at a regular nursing home
with rehab attached. There was plenty of parking. They visited every single day. She finds it hard to
believe there will not be visitors. It probably will not be during the day when people go to visit these
people, it will be in the evening when the rest of the neighbors are home and need a place to park on their
own street. She hopes this is something the City looks into real seriously because there are a lot of
visitors. They may not have family who can take care of them at their own homes, and that is the reason
they are going to these places. Her concern is the parking and also single-family homes are disappearing
in their neighborhood.
Mr. Ofsthun replied, as to what license, he is not sure if it's Class A or B. It is telemedicine,tele-ICU. It
is going to have the TV's and connected he believed to Fairview and some others. Snow removal is a
great point. They probably would want to adjust some of the shrub plantings. They should be able to
keep the snow on-site that they are pushing from the parking. These will be patients who are referred
from Allina and Fairview-University of Minnesota. There will be no signage. Typically for emergency
vehicles, working with other cities, the emergency people do have where to approach buildings and how
to get in, whether it be fire or emergency. He would imagine they do the same thing here where they
were to go to that particular entrance but, again, it is a good question that needs to be addressed.
Mr. Ofsthun stated as to why not make it smaller, the value of what is being put into this project, the
landscape, the building itself, elevator, sprinkler systems, two stairwells, everything that is going into this
building by making it smaller, it is less likely it will work and the less likely they will be interested in
doing it. They want to make it worthwhile to do the project. He can see they need to do something about
getting another parking spot or two. They will have to look into it and see if there is a way. The garage
itself is 2 1/2 stalls so there will be space off to the side for garbage, etc.
Mr. Ofsthun stated as to the visitors, he is kind of going what the operators of the facility have seen in
other home heaith care buildings, and kind of their expertise on what to expect for that. That is what it is
based on. He does not have a real clear answer unfortunately.
Chairperson Kondrick asked, with the possibility of 15 patients there. It is likely that some of these
people are going to have visitors. There is no place to put the cars except on the street. Any other
possible solutions to a possible parking problem or is there not going to be a parking problem, as far as
Mr. Ofsthun is concerned?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, again he has to base it on conversations with those who will be operating and
managing the building. They do not seem to see an issue with that.
Commissioner Sielaff asked about all the services they are providing and whether they will have
professionals coming into the facility to provide some of these services?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, his understanding is the two staff inembers per floor will be providing all the
services.
' .
Planning Commission Meeting
November 19, 2014
Page 14 of 22
Commissioner Sielaff asked whether they would provide all the services that were listed off?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, he beliEve so and they are going to be there 24 hours a day.
Chairperson Oquist stated it does not seem to him that two people can provide all the services Mrs.
Skogen listed off her document. They are going to have to have certain people coming in to provide
some of those services. He has a serious problem with parking. There is no visitor parking at all. The
other thing is, there are six parking stalls but what about shift changes. Where are people going to park
while the other ones leave?
Commissioner Sielaff stated the other concern is what happens if this is already built and then the
parking problem comes up. What do they do? He is not clear on what the remedies are.
Ms. Stromberg replied, obviously based on the site plan that is in front of them there is very limited
space for additional parking. Today she had a conversation with Scott Hickok, Community Development
Director, about that and obviously the request would have to go back to Council; and they would have to
require them to shut bedroom doors. They could only occupy 7 or 10 of the 15 rooms. Staff would have
to monitor that by having access to the inside of the facility to make sure there were not more beds being
occupied.
Chairperson Oquist stated he is not so sure even restricting the number of rooms is going to solve the
parking issue. You still have the issue of additional people coming. This project has to be re-thought
about what they are going to do about parking.
Ms. Jones stated regarding the Bona Brothers parking, that actually is a code enforcement case of hers
that she has been dealing with for a long time; and she can tell them that Brian Bona just earlier this week
promised that the employees would no longer be parking on 4`h Street. If he does not abide by that, his
special use permit will be back for review before the City Council.
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Solberg.
UPON A VOICE VOTE ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:07
P.M.
Commissioner Oquist stated the project has to go back to the drawing board. It is not ready. There are
way too many issues on this one. You cannot just plop something like this on a lot like this and have six
stalls. The parking is a big issue.
Chairperson Kondrick stated he tends to agree with him.
Commissioner Saba stated he has dealt a lot with transplant patients, and they do get a lot of visitors.
Commissioner Oquist stated Ms. Skogen had a lot of concerns. She brought up a lot of points that need
to be addressed for a facility like this. Maybe that also needs to be addressed along with the parking
issues.

- AGENDA ITEM
`,�:���= CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 2014
' Fridley
��
Date: December 4, 2014
To: WalterT.Wysopal, City Manager
From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Julie Jones, Planning Manager
Stacy Stromberg, Planner
Subject: Request for Public Hearing Postponement for Special Use Permit Request, SP#14-07, by
TCO Design for the property at 5310 4`h Street
ANAYLSIS
The petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P. Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building at 5310 4th Street. The
property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and clinic type uses are allowed in this zoning district with a special
use permit.
The owners of this project have __ _�___
affiliations with Allina, Fairview, ` '��- ;,,..., �._ - � _
–�. ,. �.:. r•- 4
��_ ,, , ��r;", �- '�_.�s?�3,
and the University of Minnesota ..
.:�.,.r�
to offer the use of the proposed ' � _ .. -
ar
facility to potential patients. The e ��-".` K` ;� ., = �
�'�"���� � ,. �
patients using the facility will be ,` �_; � � �� �� �
,; r I i•.
recovering from surgery, � +°�°�� ,� �� .' � �4 ~-�'
w�: i � ��A:.µ` i �
transplant (pre-op and post-op) or � �;:� �
another type of inedical � '
,
procedure that leaves them ` ��-'
needing extensive rehab and ' ` __�.--�,�
.:Y_.. ,' ___ ,
medical services. This type of use �._._�_'�, ' `--��� '-_`� ��
is needed for patients, who for - � F --�.,�y- i�� � ,
medical reasons, can't be on their �Y
own and do not have family or friends who can care for them.
The proposed building will be 3-stories, with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. Each level will
have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area, with living room, kitchen, bathroom, and
laundry. The site plan allows for 6 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls: All garbage and recycling
containers will be stored inside the building. The petitioner has also submitted a landscape plan
39
showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required to construct storm water
treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the November 19, 2014 Planning Commission a public hearing was held for SP #14-07. Both the
neighbors and the Commissioners expressed concerns over the amount of units and whether 8 parking
stalls would be enough to accommodate a facility like this. Based on code requirements for a nursing
home, which is the most similar use to the comprehensive home care use, 8 parking stalls are required.
So, the project does meet the minimum parking requirements. However, staff also had concerns on
how this use will function and whether or not 8 stalls would be enough. As a result, a stipulation will be
placed on the special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site, the
special use permit will need to go back before the City Council for further review.
The neighbors also expressed concerns about the operation of the facility and types of staffing needed
for the patients. Though the petitioner tried to answer as many questions as he could, the actual
operator of the facility wasn't present at the meeting so many of the questions couldn't be answered.
As a result of the parking and operation concerns for this use, the Planning Commission recommended
denial of SP#14-07.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
UPDATE SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Since the November 19, 2014 Planning Commission meeting, the petitioner has asked to have the public
hearing before the City Council postponed so alternatives can be discussed before the operators of this
facility and the petitioner. The petitioner has sent an email waiving State Statute 15.99,which requires
the City to get the application through the process within 60 days.
An alternative currently being considered is to purchase the property next door at 5300 4`h Street,which
would give the use additional land area for parking. These details are in the process of being worked on.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council postpone consideration of Special Use Permit, SP#14-07 to
February 9, 2015. This will allow the petitioner time to re-evaluate, submit new plans that will go
before the Planning Commission on January 21, 2015 and then to the Council for the final review on
February 9, 2015.

Fridley, MN 55421
To whom it may Concern-
I received finro of the letters in regards to the properties across from me 5300 and 5310
possible being bought by a commercial company for home healthcare. I am very much
opposed to this building being put up, as well as any parking that may obscure my
views. Below 1 will be listing my reasons as to why I'm against this.
Okay, a little bit about me. As I am new to the Fridley area and a first time home buyer. I
knew there could potentially be something built over the vacant lot adjunct to me. But
never did I consider the possibility that the house directly across could be torn down to
build something commercial. I like this neighborhood. You get a taste of the city life and
sometimes feel out in the suburbs. I have a beautiful perennial garden that is located on
the 4th street side of the house. If a new 3-story building was built, I would lose all my
evening sunlight, for my plants to thrive. It would make my house dreary, and lose any
natural sunlight I get to heat my house in the winter. In the summers, I garden, half of
my yard on the 53'� side which would be affected if the suntight is lost. I feel strongly,
about preserving the environment, by making it beautiful.
Not to mention the noise of new construction, the heighten traffic and the devaluing of
my home. Having a non-single family home, move in would be an "eye sore" for any
potential future neighbors to this area. I really don't want to even think of the pofential
crime that could now become a problem with people constantly coming and going.
I feel there are much better ideas of how to improve those finro lots. Not sure what the
status is with the current owner of the property at 5300. The house definitely needs
some work, but so does a few others in the neighborhood. The vacant lot, why can't a
single family home be rebuilt in its place? There was a home many years ago, why not
start over and give it a fresh start. Why not think about ways to improve the
neighborhood, instead of ways to commercialize it? A community garden would be a
really nice addition to the neighborhood. Keeping the trees, and keeping it"Friendly
Fridley".
This home care place that wants to move in can find a place that is designed for
commercial property tike university. Please consider these thoughts as you make your
�nal decision of what to do with these lots. As I'm a new home owner to Fridley, I would
love to keep living here for years to come. Raise my children in this school district. Just
as my neighbor Pam has lived here nearly 40 years.
Sincerely,
. _ �.�o<�

Land Use Application
Speciat Use Permit #14-07
RE UEST
The petitioner,Todd Ofsthun,with TCO Design,on behalf of A. P.Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building. The petitioner originally was
before the Planning Commission on November 19, 2014,to allow this use on the property at 5310 4tn
Street. Due to neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns specifically related to parking,the
petitioner waived State Statue 15.99,which requires the City to get the land use item through the
process in 60 days,to do further analysis.
Since the November Planning Commission meeting,the petitioner and representatives for the project
have negotiated a purchase agreement with the owner of the property directly south at 5300 4th Street.
The additional land area will allow for more on-site parking.
The neighbors also expressed concerns about the operation of the facility and types of staffing needed
for the patients. The operator of the facility will be present at the Planning Commission meeting to
further answer those questions.
The properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and convalescent home type uses are allowed in this zoning
district with a special use permit.
The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota
Department of Health.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The owners of this project have affiliations with Allina, Fairview, and the University of Minnesota to
offer the use of the proposed facility to
potential patients. The patients using the
facility will be recovering from surgery, `
transplant(pre-op and post-op) or ,
another type of inedical procedure that
leaves them needing extensive rehab and
medical services. This type of use is ��
needed for patients,who for medical a
reasons,can't be on their own and do not ~ B ,
have family or friends who can care for �
them. �
Site Plan Modifications since the � Y
November Plannin�Commission Meetin�
�».,��
As stated above,the new site plan � °�
incorporates(2) parcels of land—5310
and 5300 4th Street. The actual square �
footage of the building has been reduced
in size from 2,920 sq.ft.to 2,486 sq.ft.
The reason for this change is the (2)
indoor garage stalls have been removed
from the plan. The existing garage on the 5'JRD'4YE�E N.E
5300 4th Street property will remain in place, which will provide parking as well as room for garbage and
recycling containers.
The proposed building will still be 3-stories,with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. Each level
will have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area,with a great room, kitchen, bathroom,
storage, and laundry. The building will have an elevator and will be have a fire suppression system. The
new site plan allows for 12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls,for a total of 14 parking stalls. The
previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls. The petitioner has also submitted a landscape plan showing
new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required to construct storm water treatment on site
to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
The existing house on the lot at 5300 4th Street is currently being rented. Staff understands from the
petitioner that the lease is up on the house in May. At that time,the residents could sign a month to
month lease, until the new building is completed. Upon completion of the new building,the existing
house will be required to be removed from the property within one year of building permit issuance.
The lot will then need to meet landscaping requirements and be properly maintained.
SITE DESCRIPTION &HISTORY
The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family and has been since the City's first zoning map. The
majority of this neighborhood (east of University Avenue, north of 53`d Avenue,and west of 7th Street) is
zoned R-3, Multi-Family,with some parcels in the middle of the neighborhood zoned R-2,Two-Family
and parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, �' � , .

53004th Street—The existing house was constructed in 1959 and the detached garage was constructed
in 1964.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Hospitals, Clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3; Multi-Family
zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements for the special use
permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care use is most
comparable to a convalescent home or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined that a
special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
Based on the slope of the lot,the building will look like a 3-story building from the alley and more like a
2%z-story building from 4th Street. Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms,so the building has the
ability to house a total of 15 patients. Due to the medical conditions the patients have,they are unable
to drive. As a result, parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site. The
petitioner has articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time will be 6. Any staff
meetings for employees will either occur off-site or through electronic media. The new site plan shows
12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls within the detached garage on the 5300 4th Street property.
The garage and the (2) stalls in front of the garage will be accessed off 53`d Avenue. Ten parking stalls
will be accessed from the alley. The new design of the parking area will allow a one-way loop through
the parking area, so vehicles won't have to back into the alley to leave the property and it also provides
better circulation for staff,visitors, delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles. The building wilt only be
accessed from 4th Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Based on code requirements for a nursing home,which is the most similar use to the comprehensive
home care use,8 parking stalls are required. The previous site plan did comply with code requirements.
The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to whether this would
be enough based on 6 employees potentially being on-site at any one time, plus visitors,and any other
specialized staff needed for the patients. As a result,the plan has been updated to provide a total of 12
parking stalls, plus 2 garage stalls. When approving a request like this,staff wants to make sure there is
adequate parking provided on-site and that the use isn't dependent on-street parking. The 12 parking
stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors, however since the street isn't signed "no parking", it is likely
that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable, provided it doesn't start
becoming a problem. Staff will keep the stipulation previously placed on the special use permit that
states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site,the special use permit will need to go back
before the City Council for further review.
The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the use of
the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in it didn't have health
conditions that didn't allow them to drive.
The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The petitioner has submitted a
landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be further reviewed by City
staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals, clinics and convalescent
and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3,Single Family zoning district.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building,fire, and ADA requirements.
3. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility plan prior to issuance
of a building permit.
4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of
building permit.
5. if on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use, the special use permit and options
for additional parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the owner's expense.
6. If the comprehensive home health care use changes, the special use permit shall be further
reviewed by the City Council.
7. The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of the lots
involved in this project,5300 and 5310 4`n Street, prior to issuance of a building permit.
8. The house at 5300 4th Street shall be removed within one year of issuance of a building permit for
the new building.

Re: Home Care Facility
5310 4th Street NE
Fridley, MN 55421
Hello Stacy,
Thank you for considering our Special Use Permit for a Home Care Facility at 5310 4th Street NE. It is important
to the people asking for the Special Use Permit that this is a well run, low key facility that will not have a
negative impact on the neighborhood. Because of the push back from the Planning Commission we have made
several changes to the proposed facility.
The biggest is obtaining the property next door, 5300 4th Street NE.We will renovate and use the existing
detached garage for garbage cans and availability for two indoor parking spaces. I counted those and the
existing two spaces as only 2 spaces for our count.We expanded the parking into 5300 as shown on the site plan
giving us a total of 12 parking spaces.The proposed building is now 3 story(2 facing 4th Street),7458 square
foot,3 unit, 15 bed Home Care Facility.
This facility will be run by Wish Medical. It will be an acute care facility designed towards Transitional Care Units
and will use Telemedicine to maximize care with minimal on site care.The principals are Susan McDonough and
Ashley Smith.The Comprehensive Home Care license will be held by Ashley who is currently with Allina.Susan is
currently with Fairview.The number of employees when the facility is full will be 6.This is the number of
employee required by the State for this type of facility and care.This is also the number that Wish Medical
needs to provide the patients with meals, personal hygiene and any other patient needs.The employees will
also be responsible for housekeeping. Building maintenance, landscape maintenance and snow removal will be
hired out.There is plenty of on-site snow storage space.
The closest use of the building will be assisted living. Based on Fridley City Code,our parking requirement is 7%:
spaces. If considered a nursing home, 10 spaces would be required.As a triplex, 10%Z spaces.The proposed
facility meets and exceeds Fridley City code with 12 proposes spaces.The 12 spaces provide adequate parking
area for employees,visitors,employee transitions and deliveries.
The deliveries to this facility will depend on the number of patients at any one time.This is not a clinic or a
hospital. The deliveries will probably be made with smaller vehicles. Similar to fed-ex or UPS type vans.There
should only be a little increase of deliveries to a traditional three unit building.They will be made from the alley
side where we are proposing adequate driveway to ensure the delivery vans will be on site during their visit.The
location of the deliveries and the privacy shrubs being proposed, should minimize the impact of the delivery van
traffic.
The vast majority of patients that will stay at this facility will be bedridden. Because of the health condition of
the other patients,they will be mostly sedentary and will not be wandering around the exterior of the building.
The minimum stay of the patients at this facility is 60 days.The average could be one to two years depending on
the patient.There should be no more daytime traffic than any other three unit building.
There are several advantages to this facility over a typical triplex. It is important to the owner and operators that
this site is well maintained and run. All aspects of site and building maintenance will kept to high standards.The
groups associated with this facility as well as others they are hoping to have an affiliation, have high standards
for this type of facility and for their patients. While the activities of this building might be a little higher at times,
there will be no large parties, barbeques,gatherings,etc.
The applicant and his associates have gone to great lengths to show the Planning Commission and City Council
that they are dedicated to put in the effort needed to build and maintain a building and a business that has the
highest standards of operation and dedication for your City. Obtaining the neighboring property shows they
listen and react to the City Staff,the Citizens of Fridley and the Planning Commission. I ask that you approve the
Special Use Permit for this Facility.
Thank you again for your consideration,
Todd Ofsthun,TCO Design, 763-424-3676

RE: Letter of Ixitent For Twin Cities Medical C�acility
Dear ReCro Campanies Ir�c.,
I a��i v��riting ta exuress my comrnicrnent in b�ing a part of�the upcorning project that is being
p�-oposed in tl7e'I'wiii Cities ►tleti•opolitan area.
I have been involved in several discussions with the creato��s of an innovative concept for
the �are of high acuity chronically ill menal�ei•s. Critically ill patients are oFten restricted to
the hospital clue to the limited options available to outpatient care. As such,there is
trernendous financial buz•clen Co both Che community and tlie patient. `I'he cre��tors of tlle
Twin Cilies cvmrriunity for the chranically ill projcct have develaped a concept that strikes a
b�lance between coi�tralling healthcare cost�vhile providing high quality service,
It is apparent that a Fragile patient cared for in an educated,slcilled, compassicmate and
vi�;il�nt inar�ner will�lot only maintain wellness but alsc� �void cost�ly ernergency i-oori� visits
and/or hospitat sYays. It is inspiring,tl�at t}�is pi�ojerl is able meet�U��e complexity of'high '

i am con�imitted in fulF�illin�; my role as dir�ectc�►•of ia�edicine for th�s Facility. M�y training is

Dear Fridley Planning Commission:
I regret I will not be able to attend your Planning Commission meeting this evening. I can
obtain the corporate documents for Wish Medical with my partner Ashley Smith if
needed. Ms. Smith will be able to answer questions regarding patient care and
operations on my behalf.
Under this license the classification would be considered assisted living for the city code,
and care model. Our care model is similar to other facilities in the metro area (Senior
Care Network reference book) with a new extra layer of protection called Tele-
Medicine.(see attached letter of intent from the University of Minnesota Hospitals). Our
model is for patients that are either out of the ICU's, or TCU's, but cannot go home
because of the need for nursing care. Our patients will consist of Alzheimer, Memory,
Parkinson, Renal, Bariatric, and Pulmonary patients.
Wish Medical will take patients from several sources including private, hospitals, and
county sources. Staffing will follow the guidelines provided by the Minnesota
Department of Health. Wish feels this is a perfect location because of being one block
off University, and very close to the Hospital. This facility will be new, and have all the
new amenities including elevator, fire protection (sprinkler), and high end electronics to
monitor both the building, and patients.
My experience is I am the head of the tax division for Fairview Health Systems, and have
worked for Fairview for the past 17 years. My job duties are to keep the books for all of
Fairview's entities of which include Fairview Hospitals, The University of Minnesota
Hospitals, Ebenezer Healthcare Services and all aspects of the Healthcare industry. Ms.
Smith and I will work together on this project in all aspects moving forward.
Sincerely,
Susan McDonough

Why did we want to connect our ICUs via
telemedicine?
— Tele-ICU technology enables a single intensivist
(specialist in critical care medicine) and a critical care
nurse to remotely monitor and manage care of many
patients, much like air traffic controllers monitor planes
— This system supports the bedside critical care team with a
broad range of clinical expertise, while sharing
responsibility of monitoring and intervention
— Tele-ICU doesn't replace onsite critical care staff, but
offers an additional layer of surveillance
— The Tele-ICU is the clinical arm of a Fairview system-wide
Critical Care Program that aims to standardize care and
practice across the system

What does the technology allow us to do?
� Allows a telelCU MD or nurse to "camera in" to any ICU patient
room across the Fairview System at any time to help provide
additional care and back up.
• Allows a specially trained ICU physician to have a conference
with a patient and family via telemedicine
• Allows Fairview's community sites to have specialty care for all
ICU patients just a phone call or click away
• The TeIeICU team can provide the ICUs around the system an
extra set of eyes an ears for help and problem solving
• A level of ICU experienced trained nurses and clinicians that
many of the community sites don't have so they are able to
keep their sickest patients at the site, do not need to transfer

How has this program helped Fairview
• Avehicle to standardize critica�l care around the Fairview
System
• Reduction in ICU mortality �
• Reduction in ICU Length of Stay
• Allows the community sites to keep patients that would
have been transferred previously
• Leverages expensive specialist resources across the
system so all ICU patients receive the same level of care
• Physicians at the bedside can get coaching from
specialists via telemedicine on how to take care of sicker
patients than they would normally care for

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP # 14-07, by TCO Design, the petitioner has
modified the original special use permit request, for a comprehensive home health care use
that will utilize both the 5300 and 5310 4th Street Properties. The addition of this land area
will provide more opportunities for parking without increasing the size of the building
generally located at 5300 and 5310 4th Street NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:05
P.M.
Stacy Stromberg, Planner, stated the petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P.
Ventures is seeking a special use permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building.
The petitioner originally was before the Planning Commission on November l9, 2014,to allow this use
on the property at 5310 4`h Street. Because of neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns
specifically related to parking,the petitioner waived Minn. Stat. Sec. 15.99,which requires the City to get
the land use item through the process in 60 days,to do further analysis.
Ms. Stromberg stated since the November Planning Commission meeting,the petitioner and
representatives for the project have negotiated a purchase agreement with the owner of the properly
directly south at 5300 4`h Street. The additional land area will allow for more on-site parking.

Ms. Stromberg stated the neighbors also expressed concerns about the operation of the facility and types
of staffing needed for the patients. The operator of the facility is present tonight to further answer those
questions.
Ms. Stromberg stated the properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and convalescent home type uses are
allowed in this zoning district with a special use permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License
through the Minnesota Department of Health.
Ms. Stromberg stated the owners of this project have affiliations with Allina, Fairview, and the
University of Minnesota to offer the use of the proposed facility to potential patients. The patients using
the facility will be recovering from surgery,transplant(pre-op and post-op)or another type of inedical
procedure that leaves them needing extensive rehab and medical services. This type of use is needed for
patients, who for medical reasons, cannot be on their own and do not have family or friends who can care
for them.
Ms. Stromberg stated the new site plan incorporates(2) parcels of land—5310 and 5300 4`h Street. The
actual square footage of the building has been reduced in size from 2,920 square feet to 2,486 square feet.
The reason for this change is the(2) indoor garage stalls have been removed from the plan. The existing
garage on the 5300 4`h Street property will remain in place,which will provide parking as well as room
for garbage and recycling containers.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed building will still be 3-stories, with a maximum height of
approximately 35 feet. Each level will have(5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area, with
a great room, kitchen, bathroom, storage, and laundry. The building will have an elevator and will be
have a fire suppression system. The new site plan allows for 12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls,
for a total of 14 parking stalls. The previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls. The petitioner has also
submitted a landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required to
construct storm water treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
Ms. Stromberg stated the existing house on the lot at 5300 4`h Street is currently being rented. Staff
understands from the petitioner that the lease is up on the house in May. At that time,the residents could
sign a month to month lease, until the new building is completed. Upon completion of the new building,
the existing house will be required to be removed from the properly within one year of building permit
issuance. The lot will then need to meet landscaping requirements and be properly maintained.
Ms. Stromberg stated the subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family and has been since the City's first
zoning map. The majority of this neighborhood(east of University Avenue, north of 53`d Avenue, and
west of 7`� Street)is zoned R-3, Multi-Family,with some parcels in the middle of the neighborhood zoned
R-2, Two-Family and parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, Single Family. Within this neighborhood is a
mix of single family homes, duplexes,4-plexes and larger unit buildings. The Bona Brothers property on
the corner of University Avenue and 53`d Avenue was rezoned from R-3, Multi-Family to G2, General
Business in 1971 and 1999 to allow that use to exist.
Ms. Stromberg stated hospitals, clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in
the R-3; Multi-Family zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements
for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care
- Planning Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 3 of 22
use is most comparable to a convalescent home or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined
that a special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on the slope of the lot,the building will look like a 3-story building from the
alley and more like a 2 '/2-story building from 4`h Street. Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms, so the
building has the ability to house a total of 15 patients. Due to the medical conditions the patients have,
they are unable to drive. As a result, parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site.
The petitioner has articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time will be 6. Any
staff ineetings for employees will either occur off-site or through electronic media. The new site plan
shows 12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls within the detached garage on the 5300 4'h Street
property. The garage and the (2) stalls in front of the garage will be accessed off 53`a Avenue. Ten
parking stalls will be accessed from the alley. The new design of the parking area will allow a one-way
loop through the parking area, so vehicles won't have to back into the alley to leave the property and it
also provides better circulation for staff, visitors, delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles. The building
will only be accessed from 4`h Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on Code requirements for a nursing home,which is the most similar use to
the comprehensive home care use, S parking stalls are required. The previous site plan did comply with
code requirements. The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to
whether this would be enough based on 6 employees potentially being on-site at any one time, plus
visitors, and any other specialized staff needed for the patients. As a result,the plan has been updated to
provide a total of 12 parking stalls, plus 2 garage stalls. When approving a request like this, staff wants to
make sure there is adequate parking provided on-site and that the use is not dependent upon on-street
parking. The 12 parking stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors, however since the street isn't signed
"no parking", it is likely that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable,
provided it doesn't start becoming a problem. Staff will keep the stipulation previously placed on the
special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site,the special use permit will
need to go back before the City Council for further review.
Ms. Stromberg stated the special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in
the future the use of the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in
it didn't have health conditions that didn't allow them to drive.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The
petitioner has submitted a landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be
further reviewed by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals,
clinics and convalescent and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning
district.
Ms. Stromberg stated Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following
stipulations be attached:
(1) The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
(2) The petitioner shal] meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements.
(3) City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility plan prior to
issuance of a building permit.

that they would get at a facility this size.
Mr. Hickok stated, also, the petitioner has taken an enormous step. They purchased the property next
door to provide a buffer. If they find their experience did not tell them the correct thing, and they need to
expand the parking, now they have the land area to do it. They are not boxed in. He would agree with
the strategy, do not put in more parking if you do not need it. There is no need to have a lot of hard
surface that is not used. This is an opportunity for them basically to provide themselves an out if they
need it. Otherwise it provides a lot of nice green open space where there was a building in bad need of
maintenance.
Mr. Hickok stated the City is getting a vastly improved product here and there is the buffer for parking.
The other thing, and he is hearing the concern in Commissioner Oquist's voice, but remember this is a
special use permit; and special use permits are there by virtue of ineeting mitigating stipulations. Over
the course of time, if the City finds there is an issue and if stipulations need to be modified or added, that
is the beauty of a special use and why it is not just a permitted use to begin with. If it becomes a problem,
it comes back and it is reviewed again. A special use permit can be revoked, but more likely in that
situation there would be a requirement for additional parking because demand has been demonstrated.
Mr. Hickok stated it is not staffs expectation they would be parking on the street. First-time visitors
might because they do not realize there is a nice parking spot that is going to be well lit behind the
building. In the architectural elevations, they will notice the best entrance (a double entrance) off from
that back parking area is really probably the most inviting opportunity to enter the building.
Commissioner Oquist stated he agrees in the past the City probably required too much parking in some
instances, but he still has a concern on this one because once again you have to get through the alley.
Visitors are going to park out in the front.
Mr. Hickok replied staff has made it clear to the developers that sites are supposed to take care of their
own parking on site. He does not expect they are going to put in more parking than this to begin with
because experience tells them that is what they are going to need.
Chairperson Kondrick stated it is obvious, too, that the owner, realizing the City's complaints about
parking and the neighbors' concerns about parking, purchased that piece of property for parking purposes.
There will be landscaping,etc.
Homer Milton, 5330 4`h Street stated he lives two houses north of the project. Three concerns he has,
and he has talked to his neighbors are: this would put two health care centers within one-half block of his
home. There is one right now on the corner of 54th and Sth Street. They are talking about property
values being affected. Also, apparently Ms. Stromberg has not been in that alley which is very small and
very narrow because it is an old existing Fridley alley. His back yard faces that alley. Now with Bona
Brothers driving up and down there it is like a freeway because they use it to test vehicles that are worked
on. Now there is going to be more traffic in that alley.
Mr. Milton stated he also disagrees with the parking on the street because Bona Brothers parks on 4th
Street all the time because they get too many cars in their lot. He would not like a parking lot two houses
from him when he goes to sell his house. It is really hard to get onto 53rd during a busy time. He talked
to the neighbors about this, and they all feel the same way about it.

(4) Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to
issuance of building permit.
(5) If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use,the special use permit and
options for additional parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the
owner's expense.
(6) If the comprehensive home health care use changes,the special use permit shall be
further reviewed by the City Council.
(7) The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of
the lots involved in this project, 5300 and 5310 4`h Street, prior to issuance of a building
permit.
(8) The house at 5300 4`h Street shall be removed within one year of issuance of a building
permit for the new building.
Commissioner Oquist stated he has a couple of questions. They still have not added that much more
parking. He still has a real concern about parking. Also, what are they going to do with that lot when
they take that house down? That is an opportunity to get more parking spots. Plus they are going to find
if the only way to get to the parking stalls is through the alley, a lot of visitors are going to park out on the
street. He has some real concerns.
Ms. Stromberg stated the previous plan had 8 stalls. This is 14 stalls, and 8 stalls met Code requirements
so they have gone above and beyond the Code requires. She does agree visitors will likely park on the
street if they do not know there is a parking lot behind the building that they can park in. The City is
okay with having some on-street parking unless it is becoming an issue with cars up and down the street.
Commissioner Oquist asked, what about the length of time on the street? He can see employees parking
there for their shift, and they are going to be there for 6-8 hours.
Ms. Stromberg replied,the City would not want the employees parking on the street.
Commissioner Oquist asked, how do they restrict that?
Ms. Stromberg replied, that would be something the City would definitely have to inspect and keep an
eye on.
Commissioner Oquist stated it would have to be monitored very closely. What are they planning on
doing with the rest of that lot once they tear the house down?
Ms. Stromberg replied, she believed in their packet there is a landscape plan that is part of the drawings
the Commission has. The plan for now is to landscape the rest of the lot.
Commissioner Oquist stated it seems to him they could run some more parking stalls probably east and
west on that property next to that building.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, replied,the City has gotten a lot smarter about parking
over time. There was a time where in Planning the City would have more parking than was necessary.
They might recall staff has gone back and modified Codes to make certain there is not more hard surface
than the City actually needs. The folks here who are closest to this type of business will tell the City their
experience is they do not get a lot of guests. This would be adequate parking for the amount of guests

Dave Pallies, 5253 4th Street, stated he has some concerns here. First of all he really would like to know
what the building is going to be used for. They keep saying, a special use permit. A medical building.
Correct him if he is wrong but, if you look at the plans, where is the nurse's station? There is no nurse's
station. He has been asking other people, what type of building is this going to be? They said a medical
building. Some people said, well, it is going to be for people with transplants. Where are the nurses'
stations, where is the doctor's station for doctors who are going to come in and talk to these people or
whatever? They said, well, it is going to be on the phone. Are the nurses going to be on the phone? Are
the doctors going to be on the phone? Are the patients just going to be alone there? Are they going to
give themselves their own medication? Because when you have transplants, you do not give yourself
your own medication,your rejection pills, do you?
Chairperson Kondrick asked, do you?
Mr.Pallies replied, no.
Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Pallies, he really does not know,does he?
Mr. Pallies replied, Ms. Stromberg told him they are going to be coming out of the hospital, and that is
where they will be recovering until they go home. Where is the nurse's station at? Two nurses per floor.
Where is the nurse's station at. Where are the drugs going to be locked up because people who have
transplants have to have rejection drugs. They are going to have to have that medication locked up. What
is the building going to actually be? He has heard so many different stories. Is it going to be a nursing
home? He does not have any problem with the building being built. He just wants to know what the
building is going to be used for? Is it going to be for like drug and alcohol rehab? They are not telling
the truth what the building is actually going to be for. Is it going to be for sex offenders? Nobody is
saying. Chairperson Kondrick is not even saying. Does he know?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, no. He does not.
Mr. Pallies stated then the building should not be built until we know exactly what the building is going
to be used for.
Chairperson Kondrick replied, if it agrees with the Codes, it would be according to Code. It will have
to comply with what is required by the Code.
Mr.Pallies stated he is saying it could be sex offender place.
Chairperson Kondrick stated if it is built and it is zoned and complies with the Code, then it is legal and
requires adequate protection for people. For neighbors and the residents of the facility.
Mr. Pallies replied, he is against the building being built with what Chairperson Kondrick is saying. He
is against it.
Chairperson Kondrick asked,why is that?
Mr.Pallies replied, because it could be a sex offender building. For sex offenders. Because Chairperson
Kondrick does not know what it is going to be. What is going to be housed there?
Planning Commission Meeting

Chairperson Kondrick replied, perhaps staff can answer that better than he can.
Ms. Stromberg stated what the City has been told is it will be a home health care use. Patients coming
out of the hospital having some kind of a need, like a nursing home where they need extra care and they
cannot go home. The operator of the facility is here tonight, and she would be able to answer many more
questions than staff can answer. What they understand is this is a home health care use. Nursing homes,
convalescent homes, clinics, and hospitals are a permitted special use in this district. The Code does not
address the other uses the gentleman was talking about.
Chairperson Kondrick stated now, they are okay so far until they hear from the petitioner. Is Mr.
Pallies okay at least with that?
Mr. Pallies replied, no, not really. Ms. Stromberg still did not explain it. She just said it was a special
use.
Chairperson Kondrick replied,just a moment, they will learn more as they go along this evening. Mr.
Pallies' concerns are well expressed, and they appreciate it.
Mr. Pallies stated he has others, too. The renters for that house. Ms. Stromberg said they are going to be
going by a month-to-month lease? They are done in June. Why not tear the house down and get rid of it?
Why keep renting that house out?
Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Pallies why would he imagine that would be the case?
Mr.Pallies asked, why would you leave the house?
Chairperson Kondrick replied,the owner does not want to sell it that quick.
Mr. Pallies stated, sell it? He has to sell that part of that property for them to build on that property.
They cannot buy it afterwards. Then there are other reasons that he is saying this because Ms. Stromberg
told him they were going to use two stalls inside that garage. It is a two-car garage for two cars that park
in there and two on the path, correct?
Chairperson Kondrick replied,yes.
Mr. Pallies stated Ms. Stromberg said they are going to put the dumpsters in there. That is going to
eliminate two cars in the garage and put two cars on the parking pad. They are going to rent the house
out month to month. Where are the renters going to park? Out on the street. The workers will be parking
in that driveway.
Commissioner Oquist stated the petitioner is going to get a license to operate this facility, and that
license is very restrictive as to what they can run in there.
Ms. Stromberg replied, correct.
Commissioner Oquist stated to Mr. Pallies, they will need a license to actually operate there. That is
through the State, and it is not going to be a halfway house or for sex offenders. It is a medical facility,
by the license. If they do anything other than what that license provides,they could get shut down.
Planning Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 8 of 22
Ms. Stromberg stated as to the question about the renters, they will need to be out before the new
building is occupied. They will not have any issues with renters needing to park there when the new use
is open. Why they are going to allow the tenants to sign a month-to-month lease after their lease expires
in May, she is not sure. The petitioner could answer that question.
Mr.Pallies stated but she did say, up to a year, so it is going to take up to a year to build that building?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, good question. They will find out. However, it does not really make a
lot of difference. The fact is they have to go through the motions first before things happen.
Mr. Hickok replied, the stipulation is that it will be a year from the date of the issuance of the building
permit. That does give adequate time to have the primary building itself built. It allows a renter some
time to make some plans for their next move. It would be a bit of a surprise if you are renting a house and
now you are going to have a much shorter stay than you might have planned. It is going to take some
time to get this building built. It is not a simple building. It has a commercial elevator in it. It is three
stories. It has a lot of commercial aspects about it. It may take a better part of a year to build the
building. They are allowing themselves enough time. They are not boxing themselves in. Meanwhile
they are allowing a resident to continue to live there but understand at a certain point they are going to
need to be out and start making plans.
Mr. Hickok stated the City does, with the issuance of a building permit, allow one year for landscape to
be done, installed, completed, because there are seasonal issues. There are all sorts of other things that
you might get done at a time when it is not good to be putting down seed or sod, and you wait until that
cure core point to put it down. There is a strategy behind it. It was not just giving them a year to leave
this as a question mark. It is meant to be logical and strategic in terms of somebody who is living there
who needs to move and somebody who needs to landscape once the foundation and everything have been
taken out.
Mr.Pallies asked where are the renters going to park? Out on the street?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, nothing is going to happen until after they move out. The garage is still
there.
Mr.Pallies stated they will have the garage and the driveway. There won't be construction stuff there to
block them. He does not care if they park in the street. It does not bother him a bit.
Mr. Pallies stated he is still concerned about the medical use because there are no nurses' stations or
nothing like that.
Chairperson Kondrick replied, it is going to be according to Code and what the State feels is necessary.
They cannot operate unless it is according to what is necessary. They can let that be where it is.
Mr. Pallies replied, what concerns him is they are not saying, you know, is it going to be a nursing
home? Fine. It is a nursing home. Is it going to be for transplant patients? And his concern is on that, is
if it is transplant patients, how are they going to get in there? That alley is very skinny. If they are going
to be driving an ambulance,how are they going to get it in there?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, hopefully that will be addressed.

Planning Commission Meeting

Page 9 of 22
Mr.Pallies asked,well, are they not going to address that?
Chairperson Kondrick stated they can address that as they go along.
Randy Kuchera, 5301 4th Street, asked as to this building being built, what kind of affect will it have on
property taxes or properly value and on top of that; parking meters. If people want to park on the street,
would they have to pay for it. Would that have any affects on those three topics?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, good question. He cannot imagine parking meters anywhere in Fridley.
Mr. Kuchera stated a friend of his lived on a street which was repaved, and he ended up paying for part
of that cost. When they usually do some kind of renovation to that neighborhood, does the neighborhood
have to pay?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, he did not think that affects him at all.
Mr. Hickok stated as to parking on the street, meters would not be an alternative there. You could still
continue to have your guests park on the street. He pointed out on the aerial photo, to the north of the
yellow box there is a four-plex and a car parked on that street. Right now you can drive down it any day
and there is parking on that street. This site combined within those two lots within the yellow box with
the star on it, that would adequately accommodate eight units of residential with a building permit, up to
three bedrooms each unit. If there were eight units of three-bedroom apartments, 20 parking spaces
would be required. Just to put it in perspective, this could be an eight-unit, three-bedroom per unit
complex with 20 parking stalls required. There is enough land area to accommodate that. Guests to that
eight-unit building likely would park on the street. They may park just like they are at the four-plex north
of here. Are there things that can be done if this use becomes an issue. In this case there is a special use
permit that could be brought back, reviewed, and even revoked if they are not operating under proper
standards. This is an R-3 neighborhood. If there is an eight-unit building that has three bedrooms or even
if it had two bedrooms a piece that would still be 16 parking stalls, that could be built without any special
permit.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner is not overtaxing this site in terms of use because it is a convalescent
facility, the folks do not come on their own power. They do not park their cars in the parking lot. They
do come by virtue by transport vans. Ambulance is probably going to be less likely, although the
petitioners are here and can.speak to that. Remember this alley is being described as something as a cart
path. Garbage trucks use this alley also. The double doors on the back of this facility open to an elevator
core for the building that would allow folks to go to each of the three levels that are in there.
Mr. Hickok replied, as to taxes, he always thinks it a bit ironic when folks worry about the tax value
when they are taking down an $85,000 house that is badly in need of maintenance; and the house that
stood on the lot before was in tenible shape. They are probably adding $2 to $2.5 million of investment
to the neighborhood and is something that is well-maintained and managed as a commercial entity there
but really has a residential character that fits. One should not worry about lowering their t�value in the
neighborhood. If they are worried about increased tax value, their property is really based on its own
merits. For example, a three-bedroom property with two baths would be compared to three-bedroom
properties with two baths in that same general area. Would the affect of this across the street
automatically raise their values? The answer to that is "no". Would the affect of the overall feel of the
Plannmg Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 10 of 22
neighborhood change because of the new investment in the neighborhood? Yes, it would. They would
benefit from the value of this new, properly maintained property that has landscaping that is
professionally maintained and is a building that has a lot of value to it. They should not worry about a
diminished value in taxes. What they are going to feel is a very positive influence of new investment in
their neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok stated as to improving streets, likely there needs to be a cut made for a utility connection,
unless all utilities are outside of the existing roadway and they are able to connect out in the public right-
of-way where the private utility would connect to the public utility. However, that is cost borne entirely
by the development itself. Any fix to the roadway would have to be done in compliance with the right-of-
way ordinance. Any modification to the roadway has to be done to an engineering standard that basically
leaves the road in as good of a condition it was prior to the cut being made. Very good question by the
gentleman but not something they would need to be concerned about because that road will be repaired
and in a condition that basically leaves the fix invisible to the others.
Mr. Kuchera asked what about the noise for the construction itself and height of the building. Some
people have gardens in their front yard. By blocking the sun it could kind of screw up some nice plants.
Mr. Hickok replied, this construction is pretty standard. Typically they have found sandy soils, and it
would be a typical concrete foundation and not driven in on piers. Construction will happen during the
daytime. They have Code-mandated work hours. They cannot start before, and they cannot after.
Although a third-shift person would be sleeping when construction is happening on this site. There are no
extraordinary types of construction techniques that will be used on this. It is a fairly straightforward and
very typical type of construction that happens.
Mr. Hickok replied, as far as the height of the building, R-3 would allow up to six stories; 35 feet is the
cut off for the R-1 district. You could have a single-family home that is 35 feet tall. This is in a district
that would allow up to six stories. This one really is comparable in height to a single-story house.
Mr. Kuchera asked,that would not block the sun coming across the skyline or anything like that?
Mr. Hickok replied, it would be the equivalent of a two and one-half story on this lot set back at a
standard setback dimension. Would it affect the sunset? On a treed lot such as this has been, he thinks
the effect will be negligible.
Mr. Pallies stated that alley is narrow and the problem is, come up there when the garbage trucks go
through. It is real interesting because, he lives in Columbia Heights side. The garbage truck goes through
their alley on the Columbia Heights side and goes straight across 53rd to get in there because it cannot
make the turn. They got semi's that come through their alley and go straight across 53rd into that alley
because they cannot make that turn. Go there some time when it is real busy.
Chairperson Kondrick replied, he drove through and he knows.
Mr.Pallies stated try and drive during rush hour. You will not turn in there. They will not let you.
Mr. Hickok stated, two things at a matter of reference, he has driven his motor home through that alley.
It is probably more about scheduling of pickups that a garbage truck driver would drive straight from the
Columbia Heights side into the Fridley side. He has made the turn in his motor home, and it is no small
� Planning Commission Meeting

vehicle. This is a standard size alley. Rest assured when Bona's improved it, the City made sure that
snow plow trucks, etc, could get through it in order to service it.
Mr. Hickok stated in reference to Mr. Pallies saying that no one is being honest here, nothing would
frustrate them more than that. In the staff report and articulated in earlier presentations are the types of
recovering that happens in a facility like this. One disadvantage and it was unfortunate is that although
the builder/petitioner was here, they did not have somebody from the medical side to talk about what it is
at the last meeting. There has never been any attempt to keep facts that are known from the public.
Being painted that way is a frustrating way to ask a question and make statement.
Mr. Hickok stated they have a letter to be entered into the record that describes more about the specifics
of the facility, and he would encourage the petitioner's spokesperson to talk about the medical side to
answer some of the questions that seem to be of concern here.
Mr. Ofsthun stated they actually did increase the parking by six which is a significant number, almost
double from when they first started. As to the extra land, ultimately he thinks they want to have attached
parking. The building is positioned for a number of reasons, and that is one of them. If they need it for
parking, they have that buffer. That is a nice thing. He does not anticipate it. It would be a waste of
pavement to continue to go more than 12, not counting the 2 in the garage yet. The garbage cans could
take up more than one space. In the future also if they need a dumpster and they have to come back and
provide a dumpster for more adequate and efficient garbage for the building itself,they have that space as
well. That could be another potential use for that. Ultimately the existing garage would be nice to not be
there and have an attached facility. Again, they have the chance to redo the parking. If they have a
garbage dumpster they will have an approach for that. All that would be done on their site.
Mr. Ofsthun stated, yes, they will be using the alley but the ambulance, as indicated, would have plenty
of space to get in the alley. Their parking lot is designed as a standard parking lot. Any ambulance has to
go through anywhere in the City so all of the dimensions are per Code. The parking is more than Code.
He thinks they really are there. Meanwhile it is a nice landscaped area. That is another plus,too.
Mr. Ofsthun stated at the last meeting a big part of the problems were Bona's parking problems. He
hopes at this meeting their problems do not continue to be the petitioner's problem. If they are driving
their vehicles up and down the alley to test them,that should not be on the petitioner.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the employees will not be parking on the street. The back of the building has a much
better entrance and it has an elevator. To him if he knew there is a parking lot there, he is going to go
down that alley to park. As to visitors, since this is long-term care, they will find that parking lot and
park in there. It is more convenient, it is lit, etc.
Mr. Ofsthun stated as to the building itself, there is some fine-tuning that needs to go on with the design.
The concerns of locking up the drugs, the nurses stations, etc., there is space near the kitchen. The great
room kitchen area will get a little more fine tuned as they go through this process. They do have space
where there will be small nursing stations on each level.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the use of the building is a high-tech medical facility using telemedicine connected
through the University of Minnesota and Fairview Hospitals. It will be staffed with nurses,the Minnesota
comprehensive home care license will dictate. In a full facility the minimum number of nurses will be
six, two per floor. That is dictated by them by the State. They have elevators and a sprinkler system.
Planning Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015

This building is set up very much as a high-tech medical facility. If they simply wanted sex offenders in
this building, they would just put up a three-unit building and would not be standing in front of them.
They would just go get a permit and build it. They are investing a lot of money and time with this for that
purpose. It will be run by Wish Medical.
Mr. Ofsthun stated as far as the extension for the renters, that was more of a courtesy for them. Initially
they were not sure what they were going to do with that building either, and staff was quite clear that
building will not stay. They just wanted to make sure they were not kicking out the renters who have a
lease which is up either April or May. Potentially they will find their own place. It is a non-issue. It will
be torn down when it is convenient. When the big trucks are there will be the most convenient.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the manager of the construction project will make sure the renter has a spot, the
construction workers have a spot. They set up the site for toilet, dumpsters, drop of materials. That is
mostly on site but, unfortunately, there may be some construction warkers parked on the street. That will
be tough not to do.
Mr. Ofsthun stated it is going to be a huge improvement. It is going to look nice. It is going to be well
kept. It will be a buffer from two gas stations and an auto repair.
Commissioner Oquist stated as to part of his concern with the parking situation, how many employees
will be on a different shift?
Mr.Ofsthun replied, six is the maximum.
Commissioner Oquist asked, what do they do when they have a shift change?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, obviously there is going to be some juggling going on. If they have a shift change
and then all of a sudden they are all gone, then they have an empty parking lot.
Commissioner Oquist stated or you have six people parking there and then six more people trying to
park there along with maybe some visitors.
Mr. Ofsthun replied, and they added 6 spots to help with that. At what point do they stop? They are
beyond City Code which he presumes was set up to take those things into consideration. They have gone
beyond with the same consideration of a shift change.
Commissioner Oquist asked if the people who are currently leasing that house move out in May, what
happens? Does it just stay empty then?
Mr.Ofsthun replied, it would probably depend on the construction manager. They might be gone before
they start.
Commissioner Oquist stated that is the point he was making. If they should move out, for example, the
end of May,then it will remain empty.
Mr.Ofsthun replied,then it will probably be removed.
Commissioner Oquist asked, but they would not try and re-lease it to someone on a month-to-month

Mr. Ofsthun replied, he has not even thought of it so he would say, no. That was not a consideration.

2. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Rezoning ZOA #15-01, by Alliant Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the
property owners of 5300 and 400 Central Avenue is requesting to have the 2 properties
rezoned from C-3, General Sho ping to C-2,Generat Business.
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Saba.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 8:04
P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated Alliant Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the property owners of 5300 Central
Avenue (Super Stop)and 5400 Central Avenue(Embers) is requesting to rezone their properties from C-
3, General Shopping to G2, General Business. The impetus for the rezoning request at this time is to
allow the potential redevelopment of the property at 5300 Central Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg stated the current zoning of C-3, General Shopping imposes several requirements that
makes redevelopment of the site difficult. The minimum lot size required for a C-3 district properly is
35,000 square feet,whereas the minimum lot size required for a C-2 district is 20,000 square feet. The
property at 5300 Central Avenue has a lot size of 29,441 square feet; and the property at 5400 Central
Avenue has a lot size of 31,423 square feet. Both parcels are more suitable for the C-2, General Business
zoning than its current non-conforming zoning of C-3, General Shopping.
Ms. Stromberg stated the subject properties are located on the northwest corner of Central Avenue and
53`d Avenue, on the southern edge of the City. They are zoned C-3, General Shopping. The existing gas
station was constructed in 1966 and the restaurant building, which is now Embers, was constructed in
1965. At that time, both properties were zoned C2-S, which was also called a General Shopping zoning
district. When the properties were developed in the 1960's, both uses were allowed by right, where
current code standards would require a special use permit for a gas station use. The properties have
consistently been used as a gas station and restaurant since they were constructed.
Ms. Stromberg stated in 1981 the State of Minnesota filed a quit claim deed to the City of Fridley for an
80-foot piece of right-of-way directly east of the 5300 Central Avenue that was right-of-way for Central
Avenue. The State determined at that time that they no longer needed it; so as a result, it became City
right-of-way.
Ms. Stromberg stated the City's zoning ordinance and official zoning map are the mechanisms that help
the City achieve the vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. The law gives the City the authority to
"rezone"property from one designated use to another, so long as the zoning is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan's 2030 future land use map designates this area as
"Redevelopment".

Subject: Resolution approving Special Use Permit Request, SP#14-07, by TCO Design for the
properties at 5300 and 5310 42h Street
ANAYLSIS
The petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P. Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building.
The petitioner originally was before the Planning Commission on November 19, 2014, to allow this use
on the property at 5310 4`h Street. Due to neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns
specifically related to parking, the petitioner
_
waived State Statue 15.99, which requires the City
to get the land use item through the process in 60 • „
days, to do further analysis. -
Since the November Planning Commission /"� = �,,;a� �
meeting, the petitioner and representatives for the '�
project have negotiated a purchase agreement - � �'� �
with the owner of the property directly south at a �' �
�
5300 4th Street. The additional land area will allow . ,,,, z
for more on-site parking. - � �
� �
The properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and d �
�
convalescent home type uses are allowed in this �,,.., �.�„�:a.�
�
zoning district with a special use permit. ._-
The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive r�
Home Care Provider License through the
Minnesota Department of Health.
The owners of this project have affiliations with �3RD AVENUE N.E.
Allina, Fairview, and the University of Minnesota
to offer the use of the proposed facility to potential patients. The patients using the facility will be
69
recovering from surgery, transplant (pre-op and post-op) or another type of inedical procedure that
leaves them needing extensive rehab and medical services. This type of use is needed for patients, who
for medical reasons, can't be on their own and do not have family or friends who can care for them.
Site Plan Modifications since the November Plannin�Commission Meetin�
The new site plan incorporates (2) parcels of land —5310 and 5300 4`h Street. The actual square footage
of the building has been reduced in size from 2,920 sq. ft. to 2,486 sq. ft. The reason for this change is
the (2) indoor garage stalls have been removed from the plan. The existing garage on the 5300 4`n
Street property will remain in place, which will provide parking as well as room for garbage and recycling
containers.
The proposed building will still be 3-stories, with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. In this
zoning district, a 6-story building is allowed. Each level will have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and
a common area, with a great room, kitchen, bathroom, storage, and laundry. The building will have an
elevator and will be have a fire suppression system. The new site plan allows for 12 surface parking
stalls and 2 garage stalls, for a total of 14 parking stalls. The previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls.
The petitioner has also submitted a landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and
will be required to construct storm water treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on
site.
The house on the lot at 5300 4`h Street will be removed prior to the proposed facility being occupied.
Once removed the lot will be sodded and landscaped.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the February 18, 2015 Planning Commission meeting, a 2"d public hearing was held for SP#14-07,
Commission Oquist still expressed concerns over there not being enough parking stalls for the proposed
use, even though 6 additional stalls have been added to the site plan. Staff further explained that this
industry has articulated to staff over and over again that the parking needs for this type of use are much
less than people may expect. Staff would rather not require large amounts of parking that aren't being
used. A special use permit does give the City the ability to call the permit back for further review if
something isn't working related to the use, therefore the City is protected in the event parking does
become a concern and the permit needs to be brought back to the Council for further review.
One neighboring property owner had concerns about the use of the building and what kind of inedical
use it would be. As explained in the staff report and by the petitioner the proposed use is a
comprehensive home health care use that will be licensed by the State of Minnesota. The petitioner
describes it as a high-tech medical facility using telemedicine connected through the University of
Minnesota and Fairview Hospitals. It will be staffed with nurses that the Minnesota comprehensive
home care license will dictate.
All other questions from neighboring property owners whether related to the use of the alley, parking
on the street, property values, height of the structure, status of the occupants within the house at 5300
4`h Street were either answered by staff or the petitioner at the Planning Commission meeting.
After receiving public comment,the Planning Commission recommended approval of SP#14-07, with
the stipulations as suggested by staff.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Land Use Application
Special Use Permit #14-07
REQUEST
The petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P.Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building. The petitioner originally was
before the Planning Commission on November 19, 2014,to allow this use on the property at 5310 4tn
Street. Due to neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns specifically related to parking,the
petitioner waived State Statue 15.99, which requires the City to get the land use item through the
process in 60 days, to do further analysis.
Since the November Planning Commission meeting, the petitioner and representatives for the project
have negotiated a purchase agreement with the owner of the property directly south at 5300 4`h Street.
The additional land area will allow for more on-site parking.
The neighbors also expressed concerns about the operation of the facility and types of staffing needed
for the patients. The operator of the facility will be present at the Planning Commission meeting to
further answer those questions.
The properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and convalescent home type uses are allowed in this zoning
district with a special use permit.
The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota
Department of Health.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The owners of this project have affiliations with Allina, Fairview, and the University of Minnesota to
offer the use of the proposed facility to
potential patients. The patients using the
facility will be recovering from surgery, �
transplant (pre-op and post-op)or ` : �w• ��-�---
another type of inedical procedure that
----.. , .. :
leaves them needing extensive rehab and l '
_.___.:._.__..._..._
medical services. This type of use is ���
needed for patients, who for medical
reasons, can't be on their own and do not .`� a
have family or friends who can care for " Z
them. ,� "' �
�
Site Plan Modifications since the � ` Y
November Plannin�Commission Meetin�
�'� �,,.,,.�
As stated above,the new site plan "�
incorporates (2) parcels of land—5310 ��`���
and 5300 4`h Street. The actual square �
footage of the building has been reduced
in size from 2,920 sq.ft. to 2,486 sq. ft.
The reason for this change is the (2) ,
indoor garage stalls have been removed �
from the plan. The existing garage on the ���AYENIJS N.E.
73
5300 4th Street property will remain in place, which will provide parking as well as room for garbage and
recycling containers.
The proposed building will still be 3-stories, with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. Each level
will have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area, with a great room, kitchen, bathroom,
storage, and laundry. The building will have an elevator and will be have a fire suppression system. The
new site plan allows for 12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls, for a total of 14 parking stalls. The
previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls. The petitioner has also submitted a landscape plan showing
new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required to construct storm water treatment on site
to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
The existing house on the lot at 5300 4`h Street is currently being rented. Staff understands from the
petitioner that the lease is up on the house in May. At that time,the residents could sign a month to
month lease, until the new building is completed. Upon completion of the new building,the existing
house will be required to be removed from the property within one year of building permit issuance.
The lot will then need to meet landscaping requirements and be properly maintained.
SITE DESCRIPTION & HISTORY
The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family and has been since the City's first zoning map. The
majority of this neighborhood (east of University Avenue, north of 53`d Avenue, and west of 7`h Street) is
zoned R-3, Multi-Family, with some parcels in the middle ofthe neighborhood zoned R-2, Two-Family

CODE REQUIREMENTS
Hospitals, Clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3; Multi-Family
zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements for the special use
permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care use is most
74
comparable to a convalescent home or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined that a
special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
Based on the slope of the lot, the building will look like a 3-story building from the alley and more like a
2 %:-story building from 4`h Street. Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms, so the building has the
ability to house a total of 15 patients. Due to the medical conditions the patients have,they are unable
to drive. As a result, parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site. The
petitioner has articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time will be 6. Any staff
meetings for employees will either occur off-site or through electronic media. The new site plan shows
12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls within the detached garage on the 5300 4th Street property.
The garage and the (2)stalls in front of the garage will be accessed off 53`d Avenue. Ten parking stalls
will be accessed from the alley. The new design of the parking area will allow a one-way loop through
the parking area, so vehicles won't have to back into the alley to leave the property and it also provides
better circulation for staff,visitors, delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles. The building will only be
accessed from 4t"Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Based on code requirements for a nursing home, which is the most similar use to the comprehensive
home care use, 8 parking stalls are required. The previous site plan did comply with code requirements.
The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to whether this would
be enough based on 6 employees potentially being on-site at any one time, plus visitors, and any other
specialized staff needed for the patients. As a result,the plan has been updated to provide a total of 12
parking stalls, plus 2 garage stalls. When approving a request like this, staff wants to make sure there is
adequate parking provided on-site and that the use isn't dependent upon on-street parking. The 12
parking stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors, however since the street isn't signed "no parking", it
is likely that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable, provided it doesn't
start becoming a problem. Staff will keep the stipulation previously placed on the special use permit
that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site, the special use permit will need to go back
before the City Council for further review.
The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the use of
the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in it didn't have health
conditions that didn't allow them to drive.
The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The petitioner has submitted a
landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be further reviewed by City
staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals, clinics and convAlescent
and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior co construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building,fire, and ADA requirements.
3. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility plan prior to issuance
of a building permit.
4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of
building permit.
75
5. If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use, the special use permit and options
for additional parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the owner's expense.
6. If the comprehensive home health care use changes, the special use permit shall be further
reviewed by the City Council.
7. The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of the lots
involved in this project, 5300 and 5310 4`h Street, prior to issuance of a building permit.
8. The house at 5300 4"'Street shall be removed within one year of issuance of a building permit for
the new building.

Re: Home Care Facility
5310 4th Street NE
Fridley,MN 55421
Hello Stacy,
Thank you for considering our Specia)Use Permit for a Home Care Facility at 5310 4`h Street NE. It is important
to the people asking for the Special Use Permit that this is a well run,low key facility that will not have a
negative impact on the neighborhood. Because of the push back from the Planning Commission we have made
several changes to the proposed facility.
The biggest is obtaining the property next door, 5300 4Lh Street NE.We will renovate and use the existing
detached garage for garbage cans and availability for two indoor parking spaces. I counted those and the
existing two spaces as only 2 spaces for our count.We expanded the parking into 5300 as shown on the site plan
giving us a total of 12 parking spaces.The proposed building is now 3 story(2 facing 4�'Street),7458 square
foot,3 unit, 15 bed Home Care Facility.
This facility will be run by Wish Medical. It will be an acute care facility designed towards Transitional Care Units
and will use Telemedicine to maximize care with minimal on site care.The principals are Susan McDonough and
Ashley Smith.The Comprehensive Home Care license will be held by Ashley who is currently with Allina.Susan is
currently with Fairview.The number of employees when the facility is full will be 6.This is the number of
employee required by the State for this type of facility and care.This is also the number.that Wish Medical
needs to provide the patients with meafs, personal hygiene and any other patient needs.The employees will
also be responsible for housekeeping. Building maintenance,landscape maintenance and snow removal will be
hired out.There is plenty of on-site snow storage space.
The closest use of the building will be assisted living. Based on Fridley City Code,our parking requirement is 7�
spaces. If considered a nursing home, 10 spaces would be required.As a triplex, l0 Yz spaces.The proposed
facility meets and exceeds Fridley City code with 12 proposes spaces.The 12 spaces provide adequate parking
area for employees,visitors,employee transitions and deliveries.
The deliveries to this facility will depend on the number o#patients at any one time.This is not a clinic or a
hospital.The deliveries will probably be made with smaller vehicles.Similarto fed-ex or UPS type vans.There
should only be a little increase of deliveries to a traditional three unit building.They will be made from the alley
side where we are proposing adequate driveway to ensure the delivery vans will be on site during their visit.The
location of the deliveries and the privacy shrubs being proposed,should minimize the impact of the delivery van
traffic.
81
The vast majority of patients that will stay at this facility will be bedridden.Because of the health condition of
the other patients,they will be mostly sedentary and will not be wandering around the exterior of the building.
The minimum stay of the patients at this facility is 60 days.The average could be one to two years depending on
the patient.There should be no more daytime traffic than any other three unit building.
There are severai advantages to this facility over a typical triplex. It is important to the owner and operators that
this site is well maintained and run.All aspects of site and building maintenance will kept to high standards.The
groups associated with this facility as well as others they are hoping to have an affiliation, have high standards
for this type of facility and for their patients.While the activities of this building might be a little higher at times,
there will be no large parties,barbeques,gatherings,etc.
The applicant and his associates have gone to great lengths to show the Planning Commission and City Council
that they are dedicated to put in the effort needed to build and maintain a building and a business that has the
highest standards of operation and dedication for your City.Obtaining the neighboring property shows they
listen and react to the City Staff,the Citizens of Fridley and the Planning Commission.I ask that you approve the
Special Use Permit for this Facility.
Thank you again for your consideration,

Dear Fridley Planning Commission:
I regret I will not be able to attend your Planning Commission meeting this evening. I can
obtain the corporate documents for Wish Medical with my partner Ashley Smith if
needed. Ms. Smith will be able to answer questions regarding patient care and
operations on my behalf.
Under this license the classification would be considered assisted living for the city code,
and care model. Our care model is similar to other facilities in the metro area (Senior
Care Network reference book) with a new extra layer of protection called Tele-
Medicine.(see attached letter of intent from the University of Minnesota Hospitals). Our
model is for patients that are either out of the ICU's, or TCU's, but cannot go home
because of the need for nursing care. Our patients will consist of Alzheimer, Memory,
Parkinson, Renal, Bariatric, and Pulmonary patients.
Wish Medical will take patients from several sources including private, hospitals, and
county sources. Staffing will follow the guidelines provided by the Minnesota
Department of Health. Wish feels this is a perfect location because of being one block
off University, and very close to the Hospital. This facility will be new, and have all the
new amenities including elevator, fire protection (sprinkler), and high end electronics to
monitor both the building, and patients.
My experience is I am the head of the tax division for Fairview Health Systems, and have
worked for Fairview for the past 17 years. My job duties are to keep the books for all of
Fairview's entities of which include Fairview Hospitals, The University of Minnesota
Hospitals, Ebenezer Healthcare Services and all aspects of the Healthcare industry. Ms.
Smith and I will work together on this project in all aspects moving forward.
Sincerely,
Susan McDonough

I received finro of the letters in regards to the proper#ies across from me 5300 and 5310
possible being bought by a commercial company for home healthcare. I am very much
opposed to this building being put up, as well as any parking that may obscure my
views. Below I will be listing my reasons as to why f'm against this.
Okay, a little bit about me. As I am new to the Fridley area and a first time home buyer. I
knew there could potentially be something built over the vacan# lot adjunct to me. But
never did I consider the possibility that the house directly across could be torn down to
build something commercial. I like this neighborhood. You get a taste of the city life and
sometimes feel out in the suburbs. I have a beautiful perennial garden that is located on
the 4�' street side of the house. If a new 3-story building was built, I would lose all my
evening sunlight, for my plants to thrive. It would make my house dreary, and lose any
natural sunlight I get to heat my house in the winter. In the summers, I garden, half of
my yard on the 53'� side which would be affected if the sunlight is lost. I feel strongly,
about preserving the environment, by making it beautiful.
Not to mention the noise of new construction, the heighten traffic and the devaluing of
my home. Having a non-single family home, move in would be an "eye sore"for any
potential future neighbors to this area. I really don't want to even think of the potential
crime that could now become a problem with people constantly coming and going.
I feel there are much better ideas of how to improve those finro lots. Not sure what the
status is with #he current owner of the property at 5300. The house definitely needs
some work, but so does a few others in.the neighborhood. The vacant lot, why can't a
single family home be rebuitt in its place? There was a home many years ago, why not
start over and give it a fresh start. Why not think about ways to improve the
neighborhood, instead of ways to commercialize it?A community garden woutd be a
really nice addition to the neighborhood. Keeping the trees, and keeping it"Friendly
Fridley".
This home care place that wants to move in can find a place that is designed for
commercial property like university. Please consider these though#s as you make your
final decision of what to do with these lots. As I'm a new home owner to Fridley, I would
love to keep living here for years to come. Raise my children in this schoot district. Just
as my neighbor Pam has lived here nearly 40 years.
