After further discussions and neighborhood meetings, staff re-evaluated the plan, and a number of modifications were completed. The Planning Commission recommended approval of these three special use permits with stipulations. He stated that in summary, the stipulations included features such as downcast lighting, emergency access, control of intercom devices, additional landscaping, and cleanliness of the site. Mr. Hickok stated that staff recommends that Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve these special use permits with the stipulations. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that some of the concerns over the years were the appearance and cleanliness of the site. Her biggest concern is to have the property maintained. She asked what guarantees the City would have to make sure that the site is maintained properly. History shows this was not done in the past, and there were many complaints from the neighborhood. Mr. Hickok stated that with the special use permits, the City now has a means for enforcement. A special use permit can be revoked if the petitioner does not comply with the stipulations. A substantial letter of credit will also be required to ensure that the sound wall is completed. Councilman Schneider asked if a performance bond could be required because of the past history. Mr. Hickok stated �hat this has not been considered; however, if �his is Council's desire, staff could check into it further. Councilman Schneider stated that he would like to make sure Menard's proceeds with their promises because there is no credibility that has been established in the past. He would have a hard time approving these permits without some means of enforcement. Mayor Nee stated that there seems to be no limitation on the display of inerchandise. Mr. Hickok stated that this was a concern of the Planning Commission and is �he reason �or the stipulations. They did not want the display to expand in other areas. The only displays that are allowed are the yard barns and fence. Mr. Hickok stated that in Special Use Permit, SP ##96-06, language is included that the fence display be moved to an area north of the existing Menard's entrance. In Special Use Permits, SP #96-05 and FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETNG OF JUNE 10, 1996 PAGE 9 SP #96-07, language was added to Stipulation No. 4 regarding the vantage point being six feet above the north, west, and south property lines. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there will only be one main entrance for Menard's. Mr. Hickok stated that the road now leading into Menard's will be the access location to the yard. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that, currently, there are other vehicles accessing that location, and it is difficult to see vehicles coming out of the area. She is concerned about traffic safety. She asked if there would be traffic control for vehicles leaving Menard's. Mr. Hickok stated that the importance of the menu board and signage has been emphasized for the site. Menard's has assured the City that they want a safe flow of traffic for their customers and perhaps they could address this issue Councilwoman Jorgenson asked what type of fence would be installed and the maintenance it would require. Mr. Hickok stated that the fence would be wood tongue and groove and require on-going maintenance. Councilman Schneider asked what assurances the City would have that the fence would be maintained. Mr. Hickok stated that this issue would be covered by the code and staff enforcement of the ordinances. Mr. Gary Colby, representing Menard's, stated that he would admit there is not a good history with this site and that complaints were handled very poorly. What they are trying to accomplish is to improve the site, not only for Menard` s, but for the City and the neighbors. Mr. Colby stated that discussions began many months ago on their plans with compromises and changes. Solving the problems will be an on-going process. Menard's needs more space, and the expansion will allow them to correct the overcrowded conditions. The expansion to Skywood Mall allows the warehouse to be moved and to have more of it enclosed. He stated that the existing exterior warehouse will be enclosed and used for retail space. Mr. Colby stated that on the question of enforcement, he understands the City's concerns. There has not been a good history, and that has been a topic of discussion, not only with the Planning Commission but also City st�ff. The special use permits give the City a means for enforcement. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETNG OF JUNE 10, 1996 PAGE 10 Mr. Colby stated that it is not their intent to sell recreational vehicles or motor homes, but their request falls under a small category of that section of the ordinance. They would install a 20 foot tongue and groove fence and, in some areas, it would be 24 feet high. He felt this would keep any yard debris on their property, not on the neighbors'. He felt there would always be some parking lot debris. There should be an on-going process between the store manager and employees so if there is a problem, it will be handled. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Colby how long he has been employed with Menard' s . Mr. Colby stated that he has been employed for twelve years, but this is the first time he has personally been involved in the Fridley store. � Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Colby why he would expect things to change. He felt that the plans were very good, but he has lingering doubts about the promises. Mr. Colby stated that he has been aware of the problem, but it is now his problem. He wishes to improve the situation, and he felt the City has the means of enfcrcement with the special use permits. Councilman Schneider asked if Menard's has any existinq special use permits. Mr. Hickok stated that no special use permits have been issued, as this is an existing non-conforming use. With the expansion, the existing non-cor�torming status is removed, and Menard's must canform to all the ordinances. Mr. Bruce Malkerson, attorney for Skywood Mall, stated that cities usually have problems with legal non-conforming uses. When Menard's expands, they will have the special use permits and no longer are a non-conforming use. If they do not camply with the ordinances, the City can revoke the special use permits. With the special use permits, there is a means for the City to prosecute any violations. Councilman Schneider stated that revoking a special use permit is a drastic measure which the City does not take lightly. It is also very costly, and this extreme action is taken for only a very grievous problem. If there was an on-going performance bond over a period of years it would be in the interests of the petitioner to comply. Mr. Malkerson stated that he felt the revocation has worked well in the courts, and the threat of prosecution is effective. No businesses should be put in that position, as the judges will not put up with it . It would be a disaster for Menard' s to have the special use permits revoked. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETNG OF JUNE 10, 1996 PAGE 11 Mr. Colby stated that an on-going performance bond would not be acceptable. The construction bond was large enough. Councilman Schneider asked the cost for the performance bond. Mr. Hickok stated that he did not know the exact cost. The City is requesting fifty percent of the cost of construction for the wall rather than the normal three percent because of the past history. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that he felt Mr. Malkerson explained the law very plainly. In regard to a performance bond, it is a fairly unusual approach. A performance bond would require the performance of very specific actions. If there is a failure, the City could use those funds to accomplish specific acts. He did not know what would be gained from a performance bond unless there are certain concrete issues that need to be done. - Mr. Knaak stated that regarding general kinds of behavior, as opposed to structures, the special use permit review process is used. The Council can review the special use permit annually, or some other reasonable time, or if there are complaints. He did not know what would be gained by a performance bond. In fact, if it was necessary to prove a violation occurred, there needs to be some kind of due process. If a prob�em arose, he did not know if it would be solved any faster by using a performance bond rather than the normal process. He believed the procedure in place for review of special use permits is a better way to proceed. Councilman Schneider suggested that perhaps there could be an annual review and grading system by staff and Menard's. If scores are too low the City could consider revocation of the special use permit. Mr. Knaak stated that the review process is standard and would certainly be within the City's rights. Mr. Malkerson stated that he would agree with Mr. Knaak's comments. He felt that the special use permits were the greatest enforcement mechanism. If Menard's received a citation for trash it would be much cheaper for them to remove the debris than to hire attorneys to go to court. Ms. Mary Matthews, 1259 Skywood Lane, felt that the Menard's plan was a reasonable compromise which took over twenty years to get to this point. She appreciates the on-going concern because of the past history and the fact that Mr. Colby is trying to rectify the situation. The City has some means of enforcement if the special use permits are approved, which has not been the case in the past. Ms. Matthews felt that it may help reduce the noise with some of the improvements proposed Councilwoman Jorgenson asked Ms. Matthews if she felt the sound wall would help reduce the noise. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETNG OF JUNE 10, 1996 PAGE 12 Ms. Matthews stated that truck deliveries are at different hours, but the loading and unloading will be behind the 24 foot barrier. She hoped this would reduce the noise. To regulate the hours of operation is out of the question. She did feel concern about traffic safety, and said a warning sign may be helpful. Mr. Colby stated that Menard's also was concerned about traffic safety. By recessing the gate, customers are not trying to accomplish two functions at once (getting out of the gate and into traffic) but concentrating on only one at a time.

Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there should be language added FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETNG OF JUNE 10, 1996 PAGE 13 regarding an annual review by staff and brought to Council, if deemed necessary. Councilman Billings asked if this places limits on when the special use permit can be reviewed by adding language for an annual review. Mr. Knaak stated that he felt there should at least be an annual review. If Council is going to be specific regarding these special use permits, he would suggest that the review shall be in compliance with these terms at least annually.

PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT 96- 11, BY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PARTNERS: � Per Section 205. 07.01. C. (8) of the Fridley City Code, to allow an expansion of a convalescent home in an R-1, Single Family Dwelling, zoning district, on Lot 1, Block l, Maple Manor Addition, generally located at 7590 Lyric Lane N.E. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms . Modig, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:32 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit request is by Architectural Design Partners representing the Fridley Convalescent Home which is located at 7590 Lyric Lane. The property is generally located at the intersection of Madison Street and Lyric Lane. To the north is the Fridley Medical Center, to the west is Unity Hospital, and to the south is a single family residential dwelling district. The request is being made to allaw the expansion of the existinq convalesc�nt home. Ms. McPherson stated the aonvalescent home�was constructed in 1965 after issuance of a special use permit. The existing convalescent home is two stories high, 18,412 square feet in area, with a total of 36,824 square feet and contains 129 beds. The proposal is to allow a two-story addition that total 3,704 square feet on each floor. The measurements are approximately 38 feet x 100 feet. This addition would replace an existing modular unit which was added in 1991. The purpose of the addition is to provide additional office space, therapy space, and space for other ancillary uses which provide services to the residents. Other spaces within the existing convalescent home would be remodeiled to provide improved dining facilities and additional famiiy visiting space. Ms. McPherson stated the addition meets the setback requirements of the R-1 zoning district and the addition will not cause an increase in lot coverage. The one section of the code that is at issue is the number of parking stalls. In the medical office district of the zoning code, a ratio of 1 parking space for every 150 square feet of building area (1:150) is required for health services. The term "health services" is not clearly defined in the code. If this ratio is applied to this use, it results in 294 spaces being required. The site provides -80 spaces. The petitioner has provided a series of,parking lot surveys of the existing use which supports the fact that the 80 spaces are adequate for the existing 3.02 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 5, 1996 PAGE 3 use on site. The petitioner also provided some additional information from adjacent communities regarding the number of parking stalls required for this type of use. Based on those type of ratios, the use would be in conformance with those more specific parking ratios which address convalescent homes. Anywhere from 47 to 109 spaces would be required using the parking requirements in other communities for convalescent homes. Ms. McPherson stated that in reviewing the code, it appears the 1:150 ratio was required to address high turnover medical uses and not nursing homes where a majority of the residents do not drive. There is room on the site to provide approximately 23 additional spaces. Doing so would remove existing green space and would require the removal of an existing berm which provides screening for the residential complex to the east. Based on the current use of the site, the parking supply is adequate and, historically, the City has not e�erienced that the site is under parked. Ms. McPherson stated that with the exception of the number of parking stalls, the proposed project meets the code requirements. Staff recommends approval of the request with the following stipulation: 1. Reuse of the facility for other than a convalescent home will require review and approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Ms. Modig asked if the screening would be affected by additional parking. Ms. McPherson stated this will remain. If additional spaces were to be provided in that area, this would be removed. Mr. Kondrick asked if staff was comfortable with them expanding. Ms.�McPherson stated staff is comfortable with the project as proposed. Mr. Kondrick asked that if the parking lot area were to be expanded, would this require additional trees and shrubs? Ms. McPherson stated staff would have to evaluate that. Ms. Modig asked if staff had received any feedback from the neighborhood. Ms. McPherson stated she received one phone call from the caretaker of the adjacent residential complex. After the proposal was explained and clarified for the caller, there were no other issues. 3.03 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 5 1996 PAGE 4 Ms. Jedlicki stated they were not going to be adding to the residential population and not adding staff. This is simply to provide additional space for current services. It will be office areas, classroom, therapy areas, a residents activity room, and a beauty and barber shop. It will then free up space in the existing building for the dining area and family visiting area. Mr. Kondrick asked if they had experienced any parking problems in recent years. Ms. Jedlicki stated they do perhaps twice a year when they have large family volunteer events. They then use parking at the Fridley Medical Center. Mr. Kondrick asked if the addition would be architecturally compatible with the rest of the building. Mr. Plutowski stated, yes. The goal is to replace the wood structure. The expansion will match the existing materials so the building will look like it was built as one. Ms. Savage asked if there was any problem with the stipulation. Ms. Jedlicki stated, no. She understand the home is with a special use permit now. Ms. Savage asked if they expected an increase in the number of residents. Ms. Jedlicki stated no. The State of Minnesota has had a moratorium for a number years so nursing homes cannot add residential beds unless they are in a private pay facility. They will nat be adding beds. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECI,ARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:42 P.M. Mr. Oquist stated the request seems straight forward. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend approval of Special Use Permit, SP #96-21, by Architectural Design Partners, to allow an expansion of a convalescent home in an R-1, Single Family Dwelling zoning district, on Lot 1, Block 1, Maple Manor Addition, generally located at 7590 Lyric Lane N.E., with the following stipulation: � 3.04 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 5, 1996 PAGE 5 1. Reuse of the facility for other than a convalescent home will require review and approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED TH$ MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. Ms. McPherson stated this request would be considered by the City Council on June 24. 2. PUBLIC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF A PLAT REQUEST P S #96-01 BY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO 14: To replat Blocks 1- 13, inclusive, Vineland Addition and Lot 12, Block 2, Shorewood Addition, into: Lots 1- 12, Bl�ck 1, Tigerland Park and Lot 1, Block 2, Tigerland Park. This property is generally located north of 51st Avenue, east of 7th Street, south of 63rd Avenue, and west of Jackson Street. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBI,IC HEARING OPEN AT 7.43 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the plat request is by Independent School District 14 (ISD 14). The purpose of the.plat is to replat all of Vineland Addition, platted in 1886, as well as Lot 12 of Shorewood Addition. The subject parcel is bounded by 61st Avenue on the south, 7th Street on the west, Jackson Street on the east, and by what was originally piatted as 63rd Avenue on the north. This also encompasses the area where the parking lot and driveway access into the Fridley Middle School is located. Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the plat request is to resolve a number of title issues between the City of Fridley and iSD 14. As opposed to doing a lot split in order to split the property, the property needs to be replatted because the type of property underlying the middle school is torrens property which makes splitting the property into two pieces more difficult. Ms. McPherson stated the school district acquired the subject parcel through condemnation, tax forfeiture, and direct dedication from a resident. The property was acquired by the school district through the 1930's, 40's and 50's. The school district became full owner in 1955 and now owns the entire block of property. Since 1957, the City and school district have had a number of operating agreements which outline both joint use and exchange of property between the City of Fridley and�ISD 14. 3.05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 5 1996 PAGE 6 Ms. McPherson stated there are a number of City properties which are located on the west half of the subject parcel. There are ball fields, a football field, a number of well houses, tennis courts, a recently constructed picnic shelter, as well as the above ground water tank and filter plant. Ms. McPherson stated it is the intention that, once the property is replatted, everything west of a somewhat centered Iine would be transferred to the City of Fridley for ownership. Why are we doing this? In 1994, Anoka County passed a solid waste fee which is applied to commercial, industrial and institutional parcels in the County to fund solid waste abatement and recycling programs. At that time, the City began an analysis of all the City-owned parcels to ensure that the City was paying the proper fees for the property they owned. It became apparent that there was a property and title issue with this particular property. The City and school district have been working cooperatively for the last year to bring this to fruition. Ms. McPherson presented the plat of Tigerland Park, the proposed name of the plat. She stated it contains 13 1ots, and the lots have been created via the uses indicated on the drawing. The creation of these lots w�s recommended by the County to facilitate any future lease agreements. In general, the west portion of the• property will be transferred to the City. The City will also acquire a small lot in the northeast corner of the property which contains one of the City's well houses and also a small portion along the west shore of Moore Lake which is a portion of the Sand Dunes Park area. Ms. McPherson stated the subdivision ordinance does not set forth specific areas or lot widths or uses on publicly zoned land. Nor does the subdivision ordinance set forth lot areas or lot width requirements for school uses on residentially zoned lots. However, the parcels do exceed the minimum 9,000 square foot requirement as set forth in the R-1 zoning district. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the plat request to the City Council in order to facilitate the property transfer between the school district and the City. Ms. Modig asked how this would impact the residents. Ms. McPherson stated there would be no impact. This is a housekeeping�issue. There is no proposed construction. The City and/or the school district do not intend to sell any of the land. In reality, nothing that is in the field will change. Mr. Peterson stated he was the attorney for the school district. Over the last 1 1/2 years, the school distr.ict staff has worked �.�s PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIIN$ 5 1996 PAG$ 7 closely with City staff and the City surveyor. He has met with the Anoka County Examiner of Titles to go through the process. He met with the Registrar of Titles and the County surveyor. The proposal is what has come out of those meetings. The school district had not initially intended to plat all of the area, but because of other title problems that do not affect any of the neighbors but rather the way the property is described, the County required if they were going to convey any of the property they had to replat the entire area. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:55 P.M. Ms. Modig stated the request seems like a housekeeping item. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend approval of Plat Request, P.S. �96-01, by Independent School District No. 14, to replat Blocks 1- 13, inclusive, Vineland Addition and Lot 12, Block 2, Shorewood Addition, into: Lots 1- 12, Block 1, Tigerland Park and Lot 1, Block 2, Tigerland Park. This property is generally located north of 61st Avenue, east of 7th Street, south of 63rd Avenue, and west of Jackson Street. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL 40TING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED TJNANIMOIISLY. Ms. McPherson stated the City Council on June 24 will establish a public hearing for July 8 to review this request. 3.

Al1 the alleys in Blocks 7 to 11, inclusive, Moore Lake Addition, Anoka County, Minnesota. This property is generally located north of 59th Avenue, east of 7th Street, south of 61st Avenue, and west of West Moore Lake Drive. Ms. McPherson stated the three vacation requests are related. The purpose of the requests is to vacate the streets and alleys. They have bee separated into three requests to keep the issue of the ownership and petition straight and to keep the location portion separate. Part A of the request is to vacate all streets and alleys located in the Vineland Addition. The second request, Part B, is to vacate streets and alieys located in Blocks 1- 6 and 12 of Moor� Lake Addition, which is the parcel south of 61st Avenue and north of 60th. This parcel is actually owned by the City of Fridley. Part C is to vacate the streets and alleys in Blocks 7- 11, Moore Lake Addition, which is a parcel bounded by 7th Street on the west, what would have been 60th on the north, and north of 59th Avenue on the south and into the Sand Dunes Park area to the east. Ms. McPherson stated this is a housekeeping issue. The school. district acquired the parcel in Vineland Addition through condemnation, tax forfeiture, and direct dedication. The second part of the request, which is owned by the City of Fridley, was acquired in 1954 through condemnation to establish public parks. In 1957, Parkview Elementaxy School (now the community center) was constructed. It is anticipated that the City will declare this parcel excess and will transfer tY�at to the school district. The third parcel is owned by the school district and was acquired in 1958 through condemnation. Construction of the high school began in 1957. Ms. McPherson stated the site is fully developed with a variety of school and City facilities. It is not anticipated that any development requiring the use of those streets and alleys will take place in the Vineland plat. The same is true of the south portion of the site. The school has a number of facilities constructed throughout the subject parcels. No need is seen to construct 3.10 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIINE 5 1996 PAGE 11 streets or alleys within those platted right-of-ways. It appears that at one time the streets and alleys were vacated; however, the paperwork trail becomes a bit fuzzy. in order to make sure this is done properly, staff is reprocessing the request. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the vacation requests. Ms. Modig asked if this could impact the neighbors. Ms. McPherson stated that from looking at it on paper, she would say it may. She received a call from a resident who was concerned about the vacation of the right-of-way of 63rd Avenue which is to the rear of residential dwellings located north of the Vineland plat. There is an access road used by the City to access the well houses. Some of the properties have gates in the rear fence. Ms. Kondrick asked if this road would remain open. Ms. McPherson stated staff is proposing to vacate it and bring it into the City owned lot as part of the plat. Based on testimony that may be received regarding the request, they aan amend the preliminary plat to address that issue. Mr. Kondrick asked how the City vehicles gain access to the pump houses. Ms. McPherson stated the City will own the land so the City will have access to the well houses through the City's own lot. It just will not be a dedicated street. This will not physically change anything. Mr. Oquist stated south of the high school is an alley. Will that stay? Ms. McPherson stated this is proposed to be vacated. It will then become a driveway. It was never constructed to be a public street. Ms. Modig asked that if this is done and someone is using that road to the rear of the residential properties, other than a City employee or a City vehicle, would a resident then be considered to. be trespassing? Ms. McPherson stated she was not sure that the public actually uses these roads. There is a parking lot that provides access to the parking facilities on Commons. . The public still can use that facility. In terms of the school district, it appears there is a parking lot which does access the school's garage. If there is a public purpose, she believed the City has an agreement with the 3.11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 5 1996 PAGE 12 school district for joint parking to provide access to those facilities. Mr. Peterson stated the roadway or the access to the wells at the north end of the property will be ultimately transferred to the City. The school district does not use that road for any reason. This is basically a City issue rather than a school district issue. The issue with regard to the vacation of the alley to the south, that really would take on the same characteristic as a parking lot or a driveway access. The City and school district have a recorded easement agreement for parking and use of the property to the southwest. The only other clarification is the property that is along the lake shore immediately east of West Moore Lake road. It is owned by the City. The school district petitioned for the vacation of the streets there. There is really nothing there, but this is to accomplish cleaning this thing up. Mr. Christiansen stated he had a question about the area from 7th Street to Jefferson Street and up 59th Avenue and not including the walkway that goes over to the school. According to the map, it indicates vacation of that street aZso. Ms. McPherson stated this was an error on the map. That wi11 not be vacated. Mr. Christiansen stated there is a gate on the north end which is closed unless the City is accessing those wells. Mr. Lee stated that regarding the service road to the north, some residents make use of that by having garbage hauled out of the back. Will they be affected by the vacation? Ms. McPherson stated she was not aware of that. Staff can research that with the garbage haulers. If the City needs to provide an easement to continue this service, they can do so. Mr. Oquist asked how the haulers get in. Mr. Lee stated they use the gate. Either the City opens the gate or it is open. Woodiake uses the back and he has also seen other trucks using that road also. Ms. Weglinski stated she lives across the street from the well house. Will that stay on the school property? Mr. McPherson stated this will remain as it is but the City will receive ownership of the land. Everything else will stay the same. Ms. Weglinski asked if the City would sell that property. 3.12 i , PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIINS 5 1996 PAGE 13 Ms. McPherson stated that if the City ever decided ta sell the praperty, a public hearing would be conducted and neighbors would be notified.

The petitioner requests that a special use permit be approved to allow expansion of an existing finro-story convalescent home. The proposed addition would require removal of an existing modular office located at the east end of the convalescent home. The addition is comprised of finro stories, each with 3,704 squase feet (38' x 100'). In addition, the easterly parking lot would be expanded to the north by 10 feet to obtain additional parking spaces. PARCEL DESCRIPTfON AND HISTORY The subject parcel is located in the northeast corner of the intersection of Lyric Lane and Madison Street. Located on the subject parcel is a two-story convalescent home which is 18,412 square feet in area (36,824 total) and contains 129 beds. In 1965, a special use permit was issued to Medicare Development Company for construction of the convalescent home. The City issued building permits in 1982 and 1991 for construction of a garage and modular addition to the building. In 1985, the 4.03 Staff Report SP #96-11 by Architectural Design Partners Page 4 convalescent home applied for and received a special use permit to allow a parking lot expansion in an R-1, Single Family Dwelling zoning district. ANALYSIS The proposed addition will replace the existing modular addition added in 1991. The purpose of the addition is to provide additional office spac,e, therapy space, and ancillary uses providing services to the residents. Additional spaces within the existing building will be remodeled to provide improved dining and family visiting spaces. The proposed addition meets the setback requirements set forth in the R-1 zoning district. The addition will not increase the lot coverage over 40% maximum as permitted for medical uses. At issue is the number of parking stalls provided. The code requires one space for every 150 square feet of building area for "health services". The site p�ovides 80 spaces; however, 294 spaces are required by code. The petitioner submitted information regarding the existing use of the parking lat. Based on the petitioner's parking lot survey, there are befinreen 7- 32 spaces available in the parking lot depending on the number of staff and visitors in the building. The number of parking stalls does exceed the largest number of employees on any given shift. The petitioner also submitted information from adjacent communities regarding the number of parking stalls required for similar uses. Based on the analysis of these adjacent City requirements, the use is in conformance with these parking standards. Anywhere from 47 - 109 spaces would be required using the other cities' requirements. The intent of Fridley's code was apparently to regulate high tumover medical uses and not nursing homes. The site could provide 11 additional spaces adjacent to the east property line; however, this would require removal of a berm and landscaped area which screens the use from an adjacent multi-family residential use. An additional 12 spaces couid be added atong the north property line. Based on the current use of the site, the parking supply is adequate, and historically, the site has not been underparked. Staff has, however, recommended that a stipulation require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council should the use ever change to that other than a convalescent home. The petitioner will need to modify the drainage swale located along the north property line in order to meet the Engineering requirements. 4.04 Staff Report SP #96-11 by Architectural Design Partners Page 5 RECOMMENDATION As the proposed addition meets the requirements of the standards for medical uses, with the exception of the parking stalls, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request to the City Council with the following stipulation: 1. Reuse of the facility for other than a convalescent home will require review and approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to concur with the staff recommendation. CITY CQUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Counci! concur with the Planning Commission action. 4.05 � 7590 Lyric Lane SP 96-11 CAT !

The general purpose of your services would be to provide the City of Fridley with a vaxiety of options and recommendations related to establishing needed space for senior citizens, teenagers and the public at the Community Education Center (hereinafter "CEC") located in School District 14. The scope of work we are anticipating is as follows: 1. You wiil work with the City Manager and his designees to identify uses and related spacial needs for Fridley senior citizens, "The Zone" program, the youth basketball program, and the general public. 2. After identifying needed space for programs and groups, we are asking you to assess various conceptual alternatives for meeting these needs by remodeling four of the classrooms in the CEC, as well as by adding an addition that connects the north wing of the CEC with the gymnasium/cafeteria. 12.01 Mr. John Litchy June 19, 1996 Page 2 3. The specific uses addressed in your conceptual alternatives should be grouped in the following categories: a. Seniors: i. Congregate dining facility capable of serving 150 people; ii. Lounge/television room; iii. Arts and craf�s room; iv. Game room; v. Reception area; vi. Conference room; vii. Storage room; and, viii. Restroom facilities. b. The Zone Program: i. Adequa.te space for volleyball and dancing. ii. Game area; iii. Lounge area; and, iv. Meeting room area. c. Youth basketball: i. Consider re-establishing the gymnasium as a basketball practice facility that could be used by elementary aged youth. 12.02 . . . Mr. John Litchy June 19, 1996 Page 3 d. Public meeting rooms: i. Consider providing two additional meeting rooms that would accommodate the needs of the seniors, teenagers and the public. 4. Initially consider how these uses might be accommodated by a 4,000 square foot addition that connects the north wing of the CEC with the gymnasium/cafeteria: Piease note the attached sketch that has been prepared by Fridley Councilmember Steve Billings. 5. Also consider how our needs might be better accommodated by building a basement below the 4,000 square foot addition. 6. Other considerations: a. Establish handicapped access for al1 facilities. b. Provide suggested locations for handicapped accessible restrooms. c. Locate and conceptually size the HVAC system. d. Size a kitchen facility necessary for serving hot meals for the senior congregate dining program, and suitable for future meals in a double gymnasium that would be attached to the south side of the current gymnasium/cafeteria. e. Consider means by which we may accommodate the joint use of this facility by teenagers and senior citizens. f. Consider projects within the larger project that could attract donations from the private sector. g. Provide a layout for a futur� double gymnasium that is attached to the south wali of the current gymnasium/cafeteria. h. Identify space for lockers; however, do not design showers for the double gymnasium. � 2.03 . . Mr. John Litchy June 19, 1996 Page 4 i. Assume that the current gymnasium will be served by HVAC and that it will be improved for senior use as a congregate dining facility. 7. Provide a statement of probable construction costs. 8. Provide separate cost estimates for furnishing and equipping the kitchen facilities. 9. Provide two dimensional floor plans for various options that you are proposing. 10. Attend at least three, two-hour meetings to discuss proposals with elected officials, staff and citizens. 11. We assume that your proposals will meet all federal, state and local requirements for facilities of this nature. 12. The owner (City) will be responsible for payment of printing costs in excess of Fifly and 00/100 Dollars ($50). We understand that you aze willing to provide these services at the rate of One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100) per hour for your services and Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80) per hour for a project architect/engineer.

By ,� 2.0� John Litchy : �oF F� U >:<'>_ � PUBLIC WORKS MEMORAND M 8,�� �.r�, � TO: John G. F1ora�Di� ctor of Public Works FROM: Paul Lawrence, Superintendent of Public Works DATE: June 13, 1996 SUBJECT____Sewer Pump_Station in South Innsbruck Area On 7une 12, 1996, the City of Fridley received bids for a package sewage pump station to retrofit the existing air injector station located at Trollhagen Drive and St. Imier Drive. The City received one bid from General Repair for a Gorman Rupp paekage pump station for $31,862.67 including sales tax. The unit bid is identical to the unit the City installed on Riverview ' Terrace earlier this.year: �The reason forthe single bid is that most pump station manufacte�rers do not make retrofit pump stations. The retrofit pump stations, however, work very well for the City ofFridiey, as they are being installed iri established residential neighborhoods and can be installed with minimal digging and disruption to adjoining properties. The 1996 Capital Budget identifies $52,000 for the renovation of the Innsbruck pump station including installation. The installation cost for th� station installed on Riverview Terrace was appro�mately $20,000, placing the total project cost within the budgeted $52,000. The Public Works maintenance section is considering installing the Innsbruck station with City personnel. The pump stations are quite simple to install, and could reduce the installation cost by $10,000-$12,000. I recommend that the City Council accept General Repair's bid to furnish a Gorman Rupp package pump station, as specified in the City's bid proposal, for $31,862.67 including sales tax. 13.0 y C� �� .� � ;� '� � 1 ,�� .. � L C/ C C1 d O � m � W J (.7 O 2 cc z LL.

At this time it is necessary to mill and overlay the roadway to provide a safe and acceptable driving surface. Number 1 is at Mississippi Street just west of Old Central and Mississippi Street. At this location there was a water break in the winter of 1995. The area was temporarily patched but now in order to place a permanent patch, it will be required to mill the area and place an overlay. Number 2 is on 83rd Avenue just west of Highway 65, Amoco had placed patch late in the fall of 1995 and at this time the patch needs to be upgraded. They have agreed to us getting the patch done and have agreed to reimburse us fully for the cost to do the patching and repair. Number 3 is on Washington Avenue between 68th Avenue and Monroe. This is the location that we placed. a new watermain in the summer of 1995. We had the watermain contractor, at that time, place a patch in the area of his excavation. In order to upgrade or repair the road properly, it was decided that the full width of the roadway should be milled and overlayed. General condition of the road was very poor before construction. Within the bid prices of ST 1995 - 1&2, we have the items necessary to cover the work to be done at these three locations. Since the price from Hardrives, Inc. are competitive and reasonable, we felt it in our best interest to make these repairs part of the 1995 - 1&2 project. The total cost for these items is $7,498.45. Payment for the first would come from the general water fund, $3,000 would be for the Amoco patch which would be refunded by Amoco, and the third would come from the capital improvement water fund which would be Washington �ive. Recommend the City Council approve Change Order No. 4 to the 1995 Street Improvement Project No. ST. 1995 - 1&2 for Hardrives, Inc. in the amount of $7,498.45 for a total contract amount of $588,573.25.

Additional site issues will be addressed in future plat and building permit applications. The City Council on 4/8/96 adopted a resolution establishing that a new Environmental Assessmerrt Worksheet was not necessary. The findings supporting this decision contained an extensive analysis of the site issues and compared the 1986 plan with the current plan.

Single family zoning and uses and Fridley High School The 1982 plan identifies the area as a redevelopment district on the 1990 land use plan. Public Hearing Two neighbofiood meetings were held on March 7, 1996 Comments: and April 18, 1996. Both were well attended. Concems expressed included traffic, site lines irrto the neighbort�ood, lighting, impact on property values, and the Highway 65 intersection. SITE HISTORY On December 20, 1985, the Fridley HRA errtered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with Lake Pointe Investmerrt Company. The Contract permitted the 19.07 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 5 construction of a multi-phase campus development consisting of 9 buildings including six office buildings, three commercial buildings, and low profile parking ramps with a total development square footage of approximately 749,730 square feet. In 1986, the City approved the requisite rezoning, plat and special use permit applications to permit the developer to begin construction. The property was officially rezoned to S-2, Redevelopment District on August 12, 1986. The City also approved construction of the street, installation of utilities, and installation of landscaping and irrigation. The property was also graded according to an approved storm water management plan and the building pads were prepared in accordance with the approved Master Plan for the site. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet was prepared by the devefoper and the negative declaration was approved by the City on March 17, 1986. An Indirect Source Permit was obtained from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) on July 14, 1986. Traffic, air and noise analyses were prepared for these documents and the required state, regional, and local agencies provided comments on these documents. . The MPCA tndirect Source Permit expired because the development did not proceed. A new Indirect Source permit will be necessary because the site will corrtain 2,811 parking spaces and is located at a high traffic volume interchanges. In conjunction with the planning for the redevelopment of the property, the City retained SEH, Short-Elliot-Hendrickson to prepare a schematic of the proposed improvements to the Highway 65/West Moore Lake Drive/Central Avenue intersection. The developer's traffic consultant had� completed a traffic analysis which indica#ed the need to change the geometrics of the intersection in order to accommodate the traffic from the development and the increase in the traffic for the general area. When it became apparent that development would not occur on the property, authorization to proceed with the intersection improvements was delayed. Development on the property did not occur due to many factors. During the mid to late 1980's, the Twin City metropolitan area experienced a significarrt amount of growth in all construction sectors. Class A office space boomed in Minneapolis and St. Paul as well as in some suburbs, particularly in the southwest part of the region. Further complicating development efforts were changes in federal tax laws and in financial institutions lending practices. Although presented with proposals to develop the site as a commercial power center or one story office warehouse complex, the City Council and HRA decided to retain 19.08 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Pian Approvai Page 6 the original vision of the property as a corporate office campus. The HRA purchased the property from the developer in December 1992, and initiated a marketing campaign to attract potential developers and users. In 1995, the HRA entered into a Contract for Exclusive Negotiations with MEPC American Properties Inc. to market the site and to attract office and commercial development typically associated with successful office parks. The contract expires August 1, 1997 if a redevelopmerrt contract for first phase construcction is not executed. LEGAL BASIS FOR REVlEW The S-2 Redevelopment District is intended "to allow maximum flexibility in the promotion of difficult redevelopment districts" and "to allow for development by a plan which is acceptable to, and in the best interest of, the City and the overall district and development plan.° The district permits the City to determine the permitted and excluded uses in the development. It also requires approval of "each individual project or combination of projectsN by the Planning Commission, HRA, and City Council. PURPOSE OF MASTER PLAN The purpose of this review is to approve the overall developmerrt plan of the redevelopment project, as required in the S-2 District, and to review the plan as required in the Contract for Exclusive Negotiation. EXISTINC CONDITIONS Streets Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive were constructed in 1986 - 1987 to serve the property. Afthough the right of ways have not been platted, a 60 foot right of way is proposed with 36 foot wide streets around the central part of the site. The street and right of way are larger at the intersection of Lake Poirrte Drive with existing West Moore Lake Drive. The streets are lined with concrete curb and gutter. I-694 was improved in 1989 ar�1 1990 to provide additional lanes of traffic in both directions from the Mississippi River east past the Lake Pointe site. 19.OJ Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 7 No physical changes have occurred to the TH 65 intersection, however, increased traffic, especially at the Central Avenue leg of the intersection has warranted additional analysis. Utilities Sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer facilities were installed in 1986 ar�d 1987. The utilities are appropriately sized to serve the development. Storm ponds were created to provide adequate treatmerrt of runoff from the developmerrt. There have been no significant changes to the utility system which may affect the site. Soils Significant grading occurred on the property during street and uutility construction. Subterranean Engineering prepared soil reports documerrting the soil conditions on the property. Building pad sites were prepared according to the original plan approved by the City. In 1994, the HRA commissioned Bruce A. Leisch and Associates to complete a Phase I Environmental Site Assessmer�t. It was determined that an are�a of the site now occupied by the ramps to the interstate was once the location for a bus garage and motel. After a thorough review of historical aerials and files, there is no evidence of hazardous waste dumping, mining, or dumping. The MPCA flle search revealed identification of a leaic site at the Uno Ven automotive station at 5695 Central Avenue, northwest of the property. Two soil borings were advanced in the Lake Pointe property; one boring was advanced i� the area where it is thought the garage once existed. Low levels of impacted materials were found at the boring where the garage once existed, but because the amounts are very small, the MPCA will not require corrective action. It does not appear that the leak site at the Uno Ven property is affecting the Lake Pointe property. The MPCA issued a letter dated May 4, 1995 which stated that MPCA wiA not require any additional corrective action on the site. Buffer Strip and Landscaping Also installed during street and utility eonstruction were boulevard trees around the perimeter of the site and plantings in the 40 foot buffer strip along the residential area #o the north. Irrigation systems were also installed to maintain the vegetation. 19.10 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approvai Page 8 As part of the rezoning appiication, a 140 foot strip of land was left as R-1, One Family Dwelling to provide a buffer area between the single family homes to the north and the buildings on the property. A 40 foot pianting area was reserved within the 140 foot strip along the neighborhood boundary. The 60 foot right of way for Bridgewater Drive is also within the 140 foot strip leaving a remaining 40 foot area on the office portion of the property. A special use permit was approved in 1986 to permit construction of the parking lots and decks to encroach about 20 feet within the 140 foot strip. The parking areas were 20 feet from the Bridgewater Drive right of way which is a typical setback for office parking lots. � A combination of conifers, deciduous trees, and shrubs were planted in the 40 foot strip abutting the single family homes. A berm was also provided in this area to provide additional height for the landscaping. About 193 trees exist in the buffer area and along the north lot line of the development. The original plan anticipated construction of a three to a five foot berm with additional vegetation on it on the south side of the Bridgewater right of way to screen the activity of the parking areas. About 200 additional tree.s wPxe installed along the Lake Pointe Drive right of way and the Bridgewater Drive right of way. Two Homes Removed The two single family homes located nearest to the West Moore Lake Drive intersection were purchased by the HRA in 1994 and 1995. The homes were acquired for two reasons. First, the proposed realignment of Lake Pointe/West Moore Lake Drive would necessitate the removal of the most easterly home (5701 West Moore Lake Drive) and the second home (570� would be very close to the realigned roadway. Second, the original Indirect Source Permit required the removal of 5701 West Moore Lake Drive prior to construction of Phase 2 of the original development because of air quality impacts at the intersection. PROPOSED PROJECT; MEPC AMERtCAN PROPERTIES Project Characteristics The proposed master plan prepared by MEPC dated March 29, 1996 maintains the City's vision for the property as a corporate office park with supporting commercial uses. As in the original proposal, multi level parking facilities are proposed between the neighborhood and office buildings. While the general land use pattem and vision 19.11 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 9 of the property remains the same, there are differences between the original plan and MEPC's proposal. !n general, the MEPC plan is less intensive. Density/Building Square Footage The amount of total construction proposed by MEPC is 672,313 square feet as compared to the original 749,730 square feet; a difference of 77,317 square feet. Seven buildings are proposed as compared to the original 9. Four office buildings totalling 582,000 square feet are proposed along Lake Pointe Drive. Two three tevei parking decks separate the buildings from the buffer strip and the neighborhood to the north. The commercial uses include three buildings totalling 90,313 square feet. A 9,845 square foot restaurant, 130 room hotel, and a 20,000 square foot banWoffice building is proposed. Development Staging The property is proposed to be developed over an 8 to 12 year time frame. Phase one construction may include construction of the westem most office building (124,OQ0 square feet) plus some or alt of the commercia{ uses (90,313 squa�'e f�et). Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 1996 or Spring of 1997. All of the phase 1 uses could be completed by 1999. Each office building will probably be constructed during an eighteen month time frame depending on market demand. It is anticipated that the development will be completed by 2007 or 2008. Height and Lot Coverage The four office buildings vary in buitding height from five stories to eight stories. From west to east the buildings increase in height with two five story buildings, a six story building, and an eight story building. Unlike the original plan, the buildings are aligned in a north/south fashion as opposed to east/west. The proposed hotel is 4 stories tall, the restaurant will be one story, and the bank/office buitding wilt be two stories. These heights are the same as or smaller than the building heights ultimately approved for the original plan. Two eight story buildings were originally proposed in the center of the development flanked by one six story, one four story, and two three story buildings. The hotel was proposed at six stories. 19.12 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approvai Page 10 The floor area ratio for the MEPC proposal is also less intensive than the originally approved plan. The total "footprir�Y' of the seven buildings equals 132,160 square feet as compared to the originally approved 155,922 square feet. The total lot coverage is 7% as compared with 10% from the previous proposal. Traffic in order to assess the traffic impact of the MEPC proposal, the HRA hired Benshoof and Associates to update the original 1986 traffic study. As part of the update process, Benshoof was asked to incorporate recerrt ir�formation from currerrt traffic studies on the Home Depot store to the west of the site, as weil as conducting new tum movement traffic cour�ts at the Highway 65 intersection and other affected intersections. Traffic projections were then developed using existing data plus a growth rate of 1% per ye�ar plus the proposed trip generation rates (as determined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation, 5th Edition) for the proposed devetopment. In order to analyze a worst case scer�ario and to provide flsxibility for possible additional developmerrt, a higher total deve�opment square footage beyond the MEPC . total was used (729,345 square fee� versus 672,313 proposed by MEPCj. The . additional square footage was assumed to be office space. . The 1986 traffic analysis identified three roadway improvemerrt projec�s which were to occur by 1988 and which would improve traffic conditions in the area: 1) widening of I-694 to provide three lanes in each direcction; 2) construction of the TH. 610 bridge crossing over the Mississippi River; and 3) installation of the frorrt�ge road between 7th Street and 57th Avenue (past the Super America and Motor Valet sites). All of these have been constructed. In 1986, 2,925 parking spaces were proposed. The current plan proposes 2,811 parking spaces. Because of the number of spaces and the site's location at a major irrterchange, the MPCA requires an Indirect Source Permit to evaluate the air quality from the traffic generated from the development. The traffic projections therefore have to be prepared prior to completing the air quality analysis (see section below). The anticipated amourrt of P.M. peak hour trips at full developmerrt in 2008 is 1,207 trips. In the 1986 study, 1,329 trips were arrticipated at the P.M. peak hour in the year 2000 with full development. Since 1986, the methods of calculating traffic impacts and computer modelling has changed to provide more accurate estimates. The trip generation rates are also con�nually updated by the Institute of Traffic Engineers. 19.13. � Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approva! Page 11 The trip distribution is similar to the originally analyzed plan. About 59% of the trips will enter/leave the site at the Highway 65 intersection. The remaining 41% will enter/leave the site from the west. The updated traffic analysis makes similar findings for #he necessity of improving the intersection at Highway 65 as did the original analysis. The irrtersection currently operates at level of service D. If the improvements are not made, the intersection will operate at level of service F in 1999 (potential year of completion of phase 1) and in 2008 at full development. A preliminary concept plan of the improvements was developed in 1986 and was reviewed on a preliminary basis with appropriate agencies. The updated analysis has confirmed that the original concept plan for improvements should be used as the basis to improve the intersection. The traffic consultant also suggests working with MnDOT to modify the exit ramp from westbound I-694� to northbound T.H. 65 to provide traffic signal control at the intersection of the ramp and northbound T.H. 65. This modification is to safely accommodate motorists travelling from the e�ast on I-694 to the west on W�t Moore Lake Drive. The City has made application for and received federal funding to offset the cost of the intersection improvement. City staff is currently developing a timetable for preparing the detailed plans and construction of the intersection for City Council and HRA approval in the near future. Once the improvements are made, the traffic analysis shows that the intersection will operate at level of service D at full development. Depending on when the improvements are made in the late 1990's, traffic operations wilf improve prior to full development. The updated analysis also shows that other intersections serving the property will operate at acceptable levels of service. The 57th Avenue and University Avenue intersection will operate at level of service D in 2008 if appropriate signal modifications are made to provide east and west approach left tum arrows and a right tum arrow for the west approach. The 7th Street and Lake Pointe Drive intersection will operate at level of service A, except the northbound and westbound movements will operate at B and C respectively. The 57th Avenue and 7th Street intersections (just to the northwest of the site) will generally operate at level of service A, with some movements at B and C in the year 2008. Traffic will increase in this area as a result of #he development, but both 7th Street and 57th Avenue are designed to handle volumes in excess of what is being projected. 19.14 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approvai Page 12 Air Quality Existing air quality tests for carbon monoxide (CO) levels was compieted at the park site just south of the Fridley High School. The baseline data in the 1986 EAW was outdated and MPCA required new testing. Projections of carbon monoxide concerrtrations were then developed for 15 receptor sites around the development at phase 1 completion in 1999 and in 2008 with full developmerrt. Assumptions were made about the vehicle speed and wind direction/speed. Also incorporated into the analysis was the traffic projections and signal cycle timing assumptions at affected intersections. The consultant used a MPCA approved computer projection model. The analysis revealed that there were no violations of one hour or eight hour concerrtration thresholds in 1999 or 2008 at any of the receptor sites. It was also assumed that the irrtersection improvements would NOT be constructed; again, a v�rorst case approach. The MPCA standard is 30 parts per million for a one hour concerrtration and 9 parts per million for an eight hour concentration. The one hour CO levels around the site ranged from 2.1 ppm across 7th Street at a duplex to 7.9 at the Super Am� at 57th Avenue and Universit�r Avenue. The eight hour levels eround the site ranged from 1.2 ppm at homes on 57th Avenue to 5.5 at the same Super America. Comparing the current analysis with the 1986 analysis shows, in general, lower CO concentrations. Since 1986, significant ehanges have been made to the i�d carrtent of gasoline, and the State has initiated a vehicle emissions testing program. Further, the computer models for air quality testing have signficantly improved. Noise Noise monitoring an� projections were developed for the P.M. peak hour. A computer model approved by the MPCA was used to project noise levels at the L10 and L50 levels. The projected noise from the traffic of the proposed developmerrt is slight and will not cause perceptible effects (greater than 3 dBa of the applicable State requirements). Both the 1986 and the currerrt analysis shows that existing noise levels at various sites around the development experience a high level of noise from I-694 and Highway 65. In some instances, existing noise levels exceed State standards. 19.15 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 13 The noise leveis at the single f�mily homes to the north of the developmerrt along 57th Avenue will decrease due to the construction of the buildings and parking decks. This overall decrease will occur because the effect of the buildings and parking decks in blocking noise from I-694 will more than offset the limited noise increase caused by vehicles traveling to and from the new development. Wetlands Ron Peterson from Peterson Environmer�tal Consulting Inc. toured the site on October 3, 1995, reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wifdlife Natior�al We�and lnventory map, and the SCS CouMy Soil Survey for Anoka County. Four of the five existing stormwater ponds were constructed on uplands and are not considered jurisdictional we�ands. A Wetland Conservation Act replacemerrt plan or an Aimy Corps Section 404 permit is not required. The fifth pond adjacent to West Moore Lake Drive appears to have been constructed in a weUand which had e�cisted on the site previousfy. The pond can continue to be used for stormwater treatment without any additional wetland permits. Peterson Environmental Consul�ng 1nc. also reviewed a schematic of the Highway 65 improvemerrt plans. In order to accommodate a sma11 expansion for an addi�onal southbound right tum lane on Highway 65, about .86 acres o# fill may be necessary within Moore Lake. In 1987, the Ciiy received a permit from DNR to complete this activity. According to the consultarrYs anafysis, a permit from DNR wili again be required as well as an Army Corps permit. Wetland mitigation at a one to one ratio may be required by these agencies. The City will be responsible for these permits and will comply with the requirements of the state agencies. Although new permits may be required, the nature of the fill activity is the same activity originally contemplated in the originally approved plan. Storm Water Management During consideration of the original plan, it was determined �at about 18.7 acres of the site drains west into the Six Cities Watershed District (SCWD) and about 23.8 acres drains east into the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The original plan proposed construction of five ponds and associated storm sewer pipes to temporarily store water after rainfall events and also to improve water quality by providing sediment basins. 19.16. Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 14 Five additional ponds are proposed in the MEPC proposal. One of the new ponds located at West Moore Lake Drive will be designed to meet recentiy adopted water quality treatment standards. Two of the ponds will be additional detention f�cilities, and two ponds are proposed to provide water amenities in between two of the four office buildings. Appropriate permits from SCWMO and RCWD must be obtained prior to plat approval. The legal boundary of the RCWD is located at West Moore Lake Drive, even though part of the site drains into the west basin of Moore Lake. In comparison to the original land use as a driv�in the�ater, the proposed development will increase the amount of impervious surface and increase the number of ponds for settlemerrt of pollutants and sediments. In addition, the rate of runoff will be slower and will be controlled according to the standards by the watershed management organizations. Utilities The site is served by an 8 inch sewer line which is located in Lake Pointe Drive about 640 feet south of West Moore Lake Drive and extends to another 8 inch line in 7th Street. The commercial lot at the West Moore Lake Drive and Highway 65 intersection is served by ihe 10 ir�ch main in West Moore Lake Drive. Pe�ak flows were calculated for full development during consideration of the original plan. Because the MEPC proposal is smaller, there will be no additianal impacts the sanitary sewer system. The site is senred by a looped system of 8 inch and 10 inch water mains. Hydrants have also been installed around Lake Poirrte Drive and Bridgewater Drive. The size and nature of the water system was based on the original development proposal; there will be no additional impacts to the water system based on the MEPC proposal. ��io An extensive amount of earthwork was completed as part of the street, utility, and site grading project in 1986 and 1987. In general, peat and organic soils were removed and replaced with appropriate materials when necessary. There were 13 areas around the site where peat was removed. Building pads were prepared in accordance with the original plan. MEPC will be responsible for completing additional soil strength testing or adjustment if the building pads need to be changed to match the MEPC proposal. 19.17 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 15 ANALYSIS OF MASTER PLAN Permitted Uses The S-2 District provides the City with the ability to stipulate permitted and prohibited uses within the development. Permitted uses for the Lake Pointe Office Park shall include offices typically associated with Class A/corporate offices, hotel and conference facilities, C1ass III Restaurarrts ("sit downN restaurarrts), banks and financiai institutions, day care uses and other appropriate uses as approved by the City. The zoning district provides the City with the ability to approve or disapprove "uses alfowed in each individual buildingu. If uses are consistent with the permitted uses listed above, no further review by the Planning Commission and City Council wiil be required. Uses which are unacceptable are fast food restaurarrts, or industrial uses with significant truck traffic. Instead of identifying a list of prohibited uses, a stipulation is proposed which states the permitted uses and requires City approval of any other type of use. Lot and Structural Requirements The property as it exists is not platted. A plat was approved in 1986 but it was not recorded. The HRA will maintain ownership of the property until MEPC finds potential users, and at that time, a development contract will be negotiated for the part of the property proposed to be developed. Plat applications will be required as the property is developed and prior to issuance of building permits. Architecture The petitioner proposes to use brick as either the predominant building material or as paver blocks in pedestrian areas or the landscaping plaza areas. In the narrative submittal dated March 29, 1996, the architect for MEPC also indicates that precast concrete with "warm-toned" aggregate facing or polished aggregate finishing may be used. "We do not intend to make all of the buildings look alike: controlled variety in form, mass, and color is importarrt to provide individuality." The commercial uses will be designed by the companies that purchase the site. MEPC proposes to "maintain a design consistency throughout the park by standardizing common elements signage monuments, lighting poles, and landscape materials." 19.18 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 16 Brick, of all colors, has been a major architectural feature of the redevelopment projects in the Center City area (Target office building, Vllage Green apartments, Columbia Park office buildings, Norwood Square Senior Apartmerrts, and the townhomes in Christenson Crossing) and in public street improvements at East Moore t_ake Drive, East River Road, Mississippi Street, and Highway 65 and 53rd Avenues. Brick is encouraged to be used as paver blocks in the landscaped areas since it mimics other street improvement projects. It is also recomrnended as an element in the design of the buildings recognizing that other materials are also to be used. Because the color schemes and the design of the commercial uses will not be known until the specific corporate entity is identified, the use of common signage, lighting and landscape materials is necessary. It is also suggested that a common architectural feature or material, such as brick, be repeated in the design of the commercial buildings. While it is agreeable to encourage building individuality, drastic differences between the oifice buildings and the commercia) uses should be avoided. The petitioner also wanis to be cautious of the appearance and compatibility of the uses as well. A stipulation is proposed to require detailed architectur�l plans during the plat application process and to provide for City approval of the materiais on the exterior walls. Signage A conceptual signage plan has been submitted which proposes four types of signs: Building Wall Identifier (A); Office Building Entry Identifier (B); Parking Directional (C); Project Identifier (D). Section 214.13 of the City's Sign Code requires Council approval of signs within planned unit development districts. Although redevelopment districts are not specifically referred to in the Sign Code, the district and deve(opment are essentially a planned development. The wall identifiers (A) would typically be perrnitted as well as the building identifiers (B). The wall identifiers would be in addition to tenant signage. The total of all wall signs should not exceed the currerrt standard for wall area signs for commercial buildings. The building identifiers (B) are proposed at 30 square feet and are not pylon signs. These are also proposed for the commercial lots. The typical tall pylon signs are not recommended for the commercial lots. The proposed signs provide continuity with 19.19 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 17 the office buildings and promote a consistent, neat appearance. Wall signs wiii be easily seen from the interchange area. The direc�onal signs (C) are proposed at 5 square feet and are well placed near the entrances to the parking decks. The project identifiers (D) are proposed at 600 square feet and are proposed at the entrance to the park and between I-694 and Lake Poirrte Drive. Atthough signs of this type are necessary for developmer�ts of this size, further review of the height, width, and size of these signs needs to be completed. The petitioner has indicated that this is an initial proposal and will be refined as tenants are attracted to the site. Staff is currently researching other developments of this nature in relation to signage requirements. A comprehensive sign plan approved by the Council prior to development on the property is proposed as a stipulation. Compatibility with Adjacent Neighborhood Two neighbofiood meetings were conducted in March and April. Property owners around the entire site were invited. Concems expressed included traffic, site lines into the neighborhood, lighting, impact on property values, and the improvemerrt to the Highway 65 and elVest Moore Lake Drive/Central Avenue intersection. There is no question that the devetopmerrt will create additiona! traffic. The City has initiated and intends to complete the improvement to the Highway 65 intersection as previously discussed in 1986. Federal funding has been approved for the irrtersection and the necessary steps to complete the improvements are undervvay in hopes of completing the improvemer�ts by 1999 - 2000. The street system to the west ofi the property will also experience additional trafific but 7th Street and 57th Avenue are designed as collectors to handle the additional traffic. Additional work at the University Avenue/I-694 intersection is also being proposed to MnDOT. Home Depot is also studying traffic altematives to 57th Avenues west of University Avenue. In addition, the Metropolitan Council, in its 1989 amendmer�t to the Transportation System Plan, adopted a policy to require cities to implemerrt "transportation demand strategies" where uhighly congested corridQrs" exist. Although improvements to l-694 were completed in 1989 and 1990 which significantly improved its operation, the petitioner and the City should work together to develop and promote transit use by 19.20_ Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approvai Page 18 potential office employees including ride sharing programs, buses, and van pools. Further, flexible working hours should also be encouraged to minimize pea{c hour impacts. It is well documented that peak hour traffic consists of °single occupancy" (single driver) vehicles. A site line analysis was completed by the petitioner and a"balloon study" was completed by City staff. A balloon was floated in the air at the height of the buildings. The balloon was photographed from the buffer ar� near ihe residences on 57th Avenue. Although the buildings will be seen from the residerrtial area, there is a sufficient amount of distance to prevent an oifice v�orker from seeing into the homes. Further, the landscaping proposed by the petitioner will be significant and will also help to screen site lines. The impact on adjacent property values cannot be predicted at this time since value is dependent on a history of sales in the area. It is reasonable to suggest however that the proposed development will not decrease values since it is irrtended to be high value construction with corporate office amenities. Other areas in the City have not shown decreases when developments. of more irrtensity (retail oommer�cial or industrial) have occurred. Finally, the ultimate sales price is dependerrt on several factors related to the home and the needs of the buyer. � Lighting Four types of lights standards are proposed. A 30 foot tall light standard (A) is proposed on the top level parking deck and within the surface parking areas; a 30 foot standard is proposed along the streets with a"�onnrard throvW" (B); a ground light is proposed at the base of the office buildings (C); and a bollarci style light is proposed in the plaza/common areas (D). A shorter street light is recommended for Bridgewater Drive along the residential area. The petitioner has also agreed to install high pressure sodium lights instead ofi the metal halide indicated on the plans. Buffer Strip The area which remains zoned as R-1 is approximately 130 feet in width. The parking decks appear to be located just outside of this zoning. If within the R-1 zone, a special use permi� for parking areas in R-1 zones must be obtained (Vlloodbridge had previously applied for and received a speciaf use permit since surface parking was proposed i� this area). 19.21 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 19 Landscaping The petitioner submitted a concept plan for landscaping materials. Detailed plans wili be required as part of piat or building permit applications. In addition to the 393 existing trees on site, the petitioner is proposing at least 104 deciduous overstory trees, 149 coniferous trees, ar�d 152 deciduous understory trees. The landscaping requirements require 1 tree for every 1,000 square feet of building square footage, or 672 trees. Existing trees can be counted as part of required trees. A 25% reduction can also be applied for trees planted greater than 6 feet for coniferous and greater than 2)/2 inch catiper for deciduous trees. Taller evergreens are recommended on the berrns immediately north of the parking decks; 10 to 12 feet is recommended. Additional vegetation is also proposed within the buffer area where there is no existing vegetation. While it appears as though the tree requirement can be met, the petitioner is encouraged to maintain the landscaping concepts proposed in current submittal. Common Areas The petitioner is proposing two common areas for corporate gatherings and community events. The frst area is just east of Bui{ding #4 and the other is between Buildings #2 and #3. Public easements over the bikeway/walkway areas will be requ'sred at time of plat approval. A covered walkway/"skyway" is proposed along the front of the parking deck to connect all of the buildings. Parking Space Sizes The S-2 District requires issuance of a special use permit for parking spaces 9 feet in width. The S-2 District was amended when the City amended the zoning ordinance to permit 9 foot wide parking spaces for industrial districts. The amendment was based on the assumption that most industrial uses generate employee traffic as opposed to high tumover traffic typical _of commercial developments. If 9 foot wide spaces are to be proposed in the parking decks or surface parking, a special use permit must be approved. 19.22 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 20 Park Fees The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the Master Plan at its May 6, 1996 meeting. The Commission recommended that park fees be collected at the time of building permit issuance. The current rate for commerciai and industrial developments is .023 cents per square foot of land. A stipulation is proposed to require payment of park fees at the rate in effect at the time of building permit issuance. Storm Water Five additional ponds are proposed on the plan. Permits from the RCWD and SCWMO must be approved prior to issuance of building permits. Detailed engineering plans and calculations must be submitted at time of plat application. Indirect Source Permit The HRA has applied for an indirect source permit since the site is now under its ownership. The HRA will be required by the MPCA to transfer the permit when ownership changes. A stipulation is proposed to require MEPC to comply with the requirements of the MPCA when it is appropriate to transfer the permit. RECOMMENDATION The proposed Master Plan is consistent with the objectives of the City's Redevelopment Plan. Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the plan to the City Council and HRA subject to the following stipulations: 1. Appropriate plat applications shall be submitted and approved prior to development of the property. 2. All uses in the development shall comply with the following list of permitted uses: office uses typically associated with corporate/Class A office developments; hotel and conference facilities; banks/financial institutions; Class IN restaurants as defined in Section 205.03.59 of the zoning code; daycare facilities; and other uses as specifically approved by the City. Uses allowed in each individual building after construction will be the same or similar to those uses identified in this application. The City shall review and approve each use prior to occupancy. 19.23 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 21 3. Detailed architectural plans of each buiiding shall be submitted during the piat application process; or if a plat is not required, plans shall be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the City prior to issuance of a buiiding permit. The type of materials used on the exterior walls shall be approved by the City. 4. A comprehensive signage plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City Council prior to issuance of the first building permit based on the plan dated 3/29/96 and addressing the following issues: A. Wall signs (building identification and tenant signage) shall meet the wall sign requirements of the sign code. B. No free-standing pylon signs are permitted. C. Height, width, illumination and type of all signs shall be cfearly identified. D. Two free-standing project identifier (D) signs are permitted; the size and height to be approved by the City Council. E. All free-standing signs shall be set back ten feet from property lines. F. The petitioner shall receive a sign permit prior to installation. 5. The petitioner shall work with the City in preparing transportation demand strategies to promote rid�sharing and transit use to the property. 6. 12' - 15' light standards shaA be installed along Bridgewater Drive adjacent to the residential area. Sodium high pressure lights shall be used for the parking lot lights and street lights. 7. If the parking decks or parking areas are within the R-1, Single Family Dwelling zone, a special use permit must be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. 8. If nine foot wide parlcing spaces are to be proposed within the development, a special use perrnit as required by the S-2, Redeveiopment Distric# must be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. 19.24 Staff Report Lake Pointe Master Plan Approval Page 22 9. Appropriate permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District, Six Cities Watershed Management Organization, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for storm water management and grading shall be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit. Detailed engineering plans and calculations shall be submitted in conjunction with plat applications and building permit applications for review and approval by the City. 10. When appropriate, MEPC shall accept the transfer of the Indirect Source Permit from the HRA. 11. Detailed landscaping plans shall be submitted in conjunction with plat and building permit applications. 10' - 12' evergreens shall be installed along the north wall of the parlcing deck. The detailed landscaping shall be based on the concept plan dated March 29, 1996. An irrigation plan shall also be submitted at time of building permit issuance. 12. Park fees shall be paid prior to initiation of construction of the first development on the site. Easemer�ts shall be dedicated at time of piat approval over the existing bike�rvay/walkway areas. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Master Plan with a modification to stipulation #12 as reflected above. CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Counci! approve the Master Plan subject to the Planning Commission's recommenda�on. 19.25 205.23 S-2 REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGULATIONS 1.

Do not hesitate to call if you have any questions. We have enjoyed working with you on this project; and look forward to getting this project under construction. Sincerely, Edward Farr Architects, Inc. �;�a�z " Edward Farr, AIA President 19.28 NARRATIVE FOR LAKE POINTE OFFICE PARK MASTER PLAN SUBMITTAL March 29, 1996 Overview MEPC American Properties, Inc. and Edward Farr Architects, Inc. have designed a Master Plan which contemplates a high quality commercial development consisting of low-rise to mid-rise office buildings within the 24.56 acre western portion of the property, and low-rise supportive commercial, retail, and hospitality uses within the 8.21 acre eastern portion of the property. Office buildings respond to the I-694 freeway exposure by fronting the southern property edge. Parking decks have been provided instead of only surface parking to free-up landscaping space for an open campus environment, and to offer comfortable covered parking for tenants. A"Commons" area has been created aside for the enjoyment of the Office Park community as well as holding small civic events. In addition to the existing paved walk paths winding thru Lake Pointe, we have proposed a climate controlled walkway environment between office buildings to enhance the sense of community and to share corporate services in inclement weather. Supportive businesses on the eastern parcel include a restaurant, hotel, and bank/office building. These services are appropriately located closest to the entry to Lake Pointe: and their site shapes allow for easy subdivision of parcels for specific users. Exterior Buitding Materials We desire to convey feelings of warmth, sensibility, and pleasant te�cture with our selections of exterior materials. Brick will be incorporated as either predominant building materials, or as paver blocks and landscaping plaza feature areas. Architectural precast concrete may be utilized also, with warm-toned aggregate facing or possibly a polished aggregate finish to mimic granite. Many new architectural wa11 panel products are on the market which offer rich, warm, textured finishes also. We do not intend to make all of the buildings look alike: controlled variety in form, mass, and color is important to provide individuality. Gtass will be energy efficient reflective insulated units, using subdued shades; not harsh or brilliant colors. Architectural trimwork will be incorporated to add a human scale of detail. A variety of accent materials will be considered to enhance each building's facade tastefully. Rooftop HVAC units and elevator penthouses will be architecturally integrated into the overali building design to avoid the awkward rooftop dog-house effect. Parking decks will have opaque panels between floors to screen the cars from view, yet remain open-air between, for ventilation and natural lighting. The spandrel material will be an architectural precast concrete panel, or possib(y brick. The supportive commercial buildings, 5, 6, and 7, will have their own unique functional form, color, and texture to convey their use. Yet, we will maintain a design consistency thruout the park by standardizing common elements of signage monuments, lighting poles, and landscape materials. 19.29 Pedestrian Circulation A variety of pedestrian amenities will be offered at Lake Pointe. The existing paved path around the project will continue to serve the community at large with a beautiful, well landscaped outside experience. The path connects to neighboring residential areas as well as all of our buildings: perfect for the daily jogger and the lunchtime walk-around crowd. Climate controlled walkways are being proposed along the south face of the parking decks to provide year-round pedestrian access. These enclosed walkways have the following advantages: . Comfortable and convenient environmental experience, • Promotes circulation between office buildings to enhance availability of services amongst tenants, . Glassed wa11 of the enclosure enhances the south parking deck wall design, minimizing the visual impact of the structure. Another feature proposed is Lake Pointe Commons, a public space amenity between buildings 2 and 3. The Commons offer the following elements: . Hardsurfaced, terraced central plaza. with bench seating for eating lunch or simple lounging. . Water feature with fountain sculpture to act as focal point. • Extensive grassy areas for summer relaxation and enjoyment . Overstory deciduous and coniferous trees between the plaza and building 3's loading court provide a visual and acoustical buffer, plus offer a background "wa11" for sma11 entertainment functions on the north side of the plaza. . Generous flowering plants to add a variety of color and fragrance thruout the seasons. The Commons will be a lively area, available for such community events as farmer's m�Tkets, musical concerts, alternative corporate gathering areas, tenant parties, ice cream socials, and numerous other opportunities. Landscaping The previous concept for the landscape plan organized the site by creating a pleasing boulevard effect along Lake Pointe Drive. Deciduous trees 4" - 6" in size were planted every 50'-60' on center, plus coniferous trees to add green color year round. There were groups of trees planted to break up the large expansive areas. These trees were to be relocated at the original time of development. A 40' buffer was created adjacent to the residential area to provide screening for the residents using evergreens, shade trees and shrub masses. An irrigation system was installed in the areas adjacent to the road between the road and sidewalk and in the 40' buffer strip to the north. In keeping with the previous concept, similar .species will be used to enhance the e�sting plantings, this time in groups of deciduous and coniferous trees along with an understory of flowering trees and shrub masses. Shade trees will be used in and around parking lots�;providing shade and continuing the boulevard effect into parking areas, groups of conifers will be used for��screening and for additional green color thru the year; plus groups of understory flowering were used to add spring and winter interest. 19.30 Heavy use of coniferous trees will be used along with berming and shrub masses near parking ramps facing residential areas, providing additional screening to supplement the 40' buf%r strip. Existing trees that are in good condition, that would be lost during construction operations, will be transplanted on site to fill in areas where they are needed. Care will be taken to protect the existing trees which have now matured to 5" - 7" in size. Note that trees within the 40' buffer strip will not be disturbed. The entire site will be regraded and reseeded. Each building site will be planted, sodded and have an irrigation system as each phase is developed. Impact on adjacent residential neighborhood It is one of our main goals to integrate our development carefully with the single family residential neighborhood. Many of the efforts to make this integration happen successfully have been put in place already, and we have hopefully incorporated useful design techniques to ensure that the impact is minimized: . Parking decks have been set back from the residential lot lines approx 130', which represents the S2 zoning line from R1 zoning on our property. This distance was previously determined when the original Master Plan was designed. - . Taller office building structures are placed as far away as possible (south) from single family homes to minimize visual impact. . No buiidings are talIer than the previous approved Master Ptan, our tallest building is 8 stories. • A dedicated Landscape Buffer Zone was established to shield residences from noise, glare, and objectionable visual issues. Trees have matured nicely since the plantings were installed, providing excellent view cut-off lines for the residents. . Supplemental earth berming will be provided along the south edge of Bridgewater Drive to screen the parking decks as much as possible. These berms will be heavily planted also. . Shared pathway systems are in place, promoting pedestrian circulation around the local area. These paths wind beautifully thru the landscape offering scenic experiences. . Lake Pointe Commons is intended to serve the community at large by offering a place for small civic events such as evening concerts, farmer's market days, and casual relaxation environments. . New businesses will offer convenient services for local residents; banks, restaurants, etc.... . Light fixtures have been specified to minimize "spill light" and glare problems. Coniferous trees will be strategically placed across from parking deck exits to provide year-round screening of headlamp glare. Respectfully submitted, Edward Farr Architects, Inc. C;����� Edward A.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON RONDRICR DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. 2_ PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF MASTER PLAN APPROVAL FOR LAKE POINTE OFFICE PARK BY MEPC AMERICAN PROPERTIES INC.: The S-2, Redevelopment District requires review and approval of a development plan in areas when redevelopment is proposed. The petitioner is proposing to construct 582,000 square feet of multi-story corporate office space and 90,313 square feet of supporting commercial uses, including a one- story restaurant, a four-story hotel, and 20,fl00 square feet for a bank/office. The site is loFated in the northwest corner of I-694 and Highway 65. MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. IIPON A VOICB VOTE, ALL VOTING Ayg� Cg�jIRPERSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND TH$ PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:04 P.M. Ms. Dacy stated the Lake Pointe property is located in the northwest corner of I-694 and Highway 6�. The site is approximately 41 acres and 32.77 acres without the outlots and ponds. The site is served by Highway 65 and the West Moore Lake and Centra�. Avenue intersection. Lake Pointe Drive rinqs the site along the south and links the site to 7th Street on the west. Bridgewater Drive is to the north. There is a zoned area of R-1, Single Family, along the north of the site. The purpose for the zoning was for a buffer strip. The remainder is zoned S- 2, Redevelopment District. T2Ze purpose of the Planning Commission review is to review the proposed development plan for this property which is required by the zoning. A redevelopment district gives the City a maximum amount of control and flexibility in how to evaluate what goes on at the property. It gives the City a say in what uses are or are not appropriate and gives the Planning Commission, the City Councii and the Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) the ability to approve or disapprove each project, building and/or use in this area. The master plan approval is the first step in the development process for this property_ Ms. Dacy stated the project-may take 8 to 10 years to complete. MEPC is the petitioner for this�site. They have entered ir�to a �;5�;3: contract for exclusive negotiations with the HRA. Essentially, the contract states MEPC has the authority on the HRA�s behalf to 19.32 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAy 15 1996 PAGE 8 ; try to bring development to the property. That contract also requires MEPC to submit a master plan. Ms. Dacy stated the plan is similar in terms of concept and vision as the plan established by the City 10 years ago. The City and HRA have seen this site historically as an office park with supporting uses. The proposed plan is similar in vision and use but less intense than the original plan. What is being proposed on the site is a 582,000 square foot of office space in four buildings and 90,313 square feet of coYamercial use in three buildings. Starting at the west portion of the site, the first two office buildings are proposed to be five-stories, the third building with six stories, and the fourth building having eight stories. A parking ramp is proposed to be located to the north of the office buildings. The first parking level would be below grade, the second level at grade, and the third level one story above grade. The types of uses proposed are office and corporate uses. The commercial uses include a restaurant, a four-story 130-room hotel, and a bank or other smaller type of office use. Ms. Dacy stated a technical detail is that the property is not platted at this time. Prior to the developer coming in and receiving permissian to construct a building, the petitioner must have a plat for every building or group of buildings they intend � to construct. Ms. Dacy stated architecture i.s something the Pianning Commission may want ta discuss.with MEPC. MEPC has submitted a written summary of the types of materials being evaluated. Open areas are being proposed. There is also a plan for consistent landscaping, signage and lighting. Most of the signs proposed are already consistent with the ordinance. MEPC is proposing to construct two fairly large signs which are bigger than what we have seen in Fridley. This will be discussed at a later time. Ms. Dacy stated another issue is traffic. This is probably the most important issue pertaininq to this development. The traf�ic consultant for the HRA is at the meeting. He has completed an updated analysis. The major findings were that the intersection at Highway 65, West Moore Lake Drive, and Central Avenue needs to be improved. Additional turn lanes need to be provided into the development as well as alignment shifts to align West Moore Lake Drive and the development. The City is committed to completing the improvements. The City has applied for Federal funds to help fund these improvements. It could take two to three years to get all the approvals required for this project. Traffic is also a concern of the neighborhood. Another thing to evaluate is a transportation demand management�strategy. We would be trying to encourage transit into and out of the site (i.e. car pools, van �s>;>:. pools, buses, etc.) to discourage single occupancy vehicles and ` 19.33 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 15 1996 PAGE 9 to encourage high occupancy vehicles_ With less cars on the roadway, there is less congestion. Ms. Dacy stated staff worked with the developer on the lighting. They have agreed to reduce the lighting to 12 to 15 feet on Bridgewater Drive to minimize the impact to the residential area. Ms. Dacy stated the developer is proposing substantial landscaping on the north side. The site now has 393 trees. The plan proposes an ad3itional 405 trees which is in excess of the requirement of 672 trees. Staff is working with the developer to install larger plant sizes north of the parking decks as weil to establish a buffer from the residential area. Ms. Dacy stated the developer wants a nine-foot wide parking space which will require a special use permit. If that is proposed,.they will have to come througl3 the process. Ms. Dacy stated the Parks and Recreation Commission looked at this request. The Commission recommended that the park fees be paid up front at the time prior to the first building permit. � Ms. Dacy stated the developer is adding five ponds to the five ' already on the site for storm pond management. One pond is in the northeast corner of the site. About 40� of the site runs into Moore Lake and is under the jurisdiction of Rice Creek Watershed. A permit from the watershed district is required. Ms. Dacy stated staff recommends approval of the proposed master plan. The proposed plan is consistent with the r�development objectives of the City. As a next step, the proposed pian will go to the HRA on June 13 for their recommendation. The plan will then go to the City Council on June 24. Then, if approved and MEPC is successful in bringing development to the site, they will then be back for the plat and special use permit. If approved, staff recommends the following stipulations: • l. Appropriate plat applications shall be submitted and approved prior to development of the property. 2. All uses in the development shall comply with the following list of permitted uses: office uses typically associated with corporate/Class A office developments; hotel and conference facilities; banks/financial institutions; Class III restaurants as defined in Secti.on 205.03.59 of the zoning code; daycare facilities; and other uses as specifically approved by the City. Uses allowed in each individual building after construction will be the same or similar to those uses identified in this application. The City shall review and approve each use prior to occupancy. 19.34 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 15, 1996 PAGE 10 3. Detailed architectural plans of each building shall be submitted during the plat application process; or if a plat is not required, plans shall be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the City prior to issuance of a building permit. The type of materials used on the exterior walls shall be approved by the City. 4. A comprehensive signage plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City Council prior to issuance of the first building permit based on the plan dated March 29, 1996 and addressing the following issues: A. Wall signs (building identification and tenant signage) shall meet the wall sign requirements of the sign code. B. No free-standing pylon signs are permitted. C. Height, width, illumination and type of all signs shall be clearly identified. D. Two free-standing project identifier (D) signs are permitted; the size and height to be approved by the City Council. E. All free-standing signs shall be set back ten feet from property lines. F. The petitioner shall receive a sign permit prior to installation. 5. The petitioner shall work with the City in preparing transportation demand strategies to promote ride-sharing and transit use to the property. 6. 12 to 15-foot light standards shall be installed along Bridgewater Drive adjacent to the residential area. Sodium high pressure lights shall be used for the parking lot lights and street lights. 7. If the parking decks or parking areas ar within the R-1, Single Family Dwelling zone, a special use permit must be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. 8. If nine-foot wide parking spaces are to be proposed within the development, a special use permit as required by the S- 2, Redevelopment District, must be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. 9. Appropriate permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District, Six Cities Watershed Management Organization, and the 19.35 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 15 1996 PAGE 11 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for storm water management and grading shall be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit. Detailed engineering plans and calculations shall be submitted in conjunction with plat applications and buiiding permit applications for review and approval by the City. 10. When appropriate, MEPC shall accept the transfer of the Indirect Source Permit from the HRA. 11. Detailed landscap�ng plans shall be submitted in conjunction with plat and building permit applications. i0 to 12-foot evergreens shall be installed along the north wall of the parking deck. The detailed landscaping shall be based on the concept plan dated March 29, 1996. An irrigation plan shall also be submitted at time of building permit issuance. 12. Park fees shall be paid prior to the initiation of construction of the first development on the site. Easements shall be dedicated at the time of plan approval over the existing bikeway/walkway areas. Mr. Saba asked Ms. Dacy to clarify the wetZand mitigation required and the classification of.the.wetiand on the site. Ms. Dacy stated the consultant indicated there are no wetland areas within the project on the site. One pond constructed l0 years ago was constructed in a wetland.area at that time. The wetiand issues are going to be the responsibility of the City when the City evaluates the reconstruction of the Highway 65 intersection. Part of the reconstruction is to add a southbound right turn lane on Highway 65 into what will be Lake Pointe Drive. There is a small amount of the wetland areas that is adjacent to Moore Lake. Ten years ago, the City applied for and received a permit, but that permit has expired. The requirements since then have changed. We must comply with the current requirements. Mr. Farr stated he is an architect with Ed Farr and Associates. They have designed a master plan for a high quality, Class A commercial development with mid-rise and low-rise office buildings on a 24.5-acre westerly portion of the site and low- rise commercial and hospitality uses on an 8.2-acre easterly parcel. The office buildings would have a freeway exposure. Commons areas were created for enjoyment of a park-like area. In addition to the walking paths proposed, an enclosed walkway between the office buildings is proposed to enhance the sense of community and to share services: 19.3s PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAy i5, 1996 PAGE 12 Mr. Farr stated support services to the east include a restaurant, a hotel, and a bank near the entrance. These services are appropriately located near the entry to Lake Pointe. Mr. Farr stated the exterior materials were chosen to convey wariuth, sensibility, and texture. Brick will be incorporated. Architectural precast concrete wall paneis will be used as well. They do not intend to make all the buildings look alike. The glass used will be energy efficient, reflective, insulating glass in subdued shades. The architectural trim and detail will be incorporated in a human scale. Rooftop units will be architecturally concealed. The commercial buildings would have their own architecture but they still have control over the design. Mr. Farr stated the paved path would continue to serve the community. A climate-controlled walkwa� is proposed along the south side of the parking ramps for year around pedestrian access. The Lake Pointe commons areas will be a public space amenity. The central plaza would have a water feature and plants. They envision this area to be a lively experience with public concerts, etc. Mr. Farr stated the landscaping is in keepi�g with the previous l.. developer's concept. Similar plants are being proposed using deciduous and coniferous trees. Shade trees will be used in and around the parking lot. Coniferous trees will be used for screening with under story flowering trees for interest. Coniferous trees and a berm along the parking ramp will be used to screen an� provide a buffer strip. Trees in good condition will be transplanted on site to where they are needed. Trees in the buffer strip along the north will not be disturbed. The area will be sodded or seeded and an irrigation system installed. Mr. Farr stated they are trying to achieve a minimal impact to the residential neighborhood. The parking takes a setback of 140-feet from the lot lines. The tall office buildings have been placed as far away as possible. No buildings are taller than what was previously approved. The buffer zone has been established and is also a sound barrier. A berm will be provided to screen the parking decks as much as possible. Shared pathway systems are in place for circulation around the building area. The Lake Pointe commons is intended to provide an area for the community. New businesses will provide services to the community as well. Mr. Oquist asked if they had started to discuss this proposal with the neighbors. �:<,;r; `',:.... 19.37 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 15 1996 PAGE 13 Mr. Farr stated two neighborhood meetings have been held. Two items that resulted were the lower lights to minimize glare and to minimize the impact of the parking decks they are supplementing berms with plantings on top of the berms to buffer. Mr. Oquist asked if the property to the north of the walkway will be as it is. Mr. Farr stated this was correct. There will be no grading outside of the loop. Mr. Oquist asked if they would be responsible for all seven buildings. With one project manager involved, you get consistency of construction which is what he wants to see. Mr. Farr stated he would defer that question to MEPC. MEPC is controlling the develapment of the init�al construction. Mr. Jellison, MEPC, stated tiiey have two office parks in the cities today. In the southwest corner of I-394, they have the Minneapolis West Business Center. They are planning something similar here. They will put money into the office building and ,r they also want all of the project to fit together. Mr. Oquist asked if MEPC would also be managing the four office build�ngs. Mr. Jellison stated MEPC would construct, manage, lease, etc. Mr. Oquist stated this project is smaller than the original one. How much different is this proposal? Ms. Dacy stated the original plan had a total of nine buildings with a total of 749,000 square feet. This is a total of 672,000 square feet so it is approximately 80,000 square feet less. Woodbridge also proposed alignment of the buildings east/west as opposed to this plan with the buildings north/south. Mr. Oquist stated it is nice to think in terms of van pools, etc. What has been done about the traffic patterns through the neighborhoods and out on Highway 65? Ms. Dacy stated there was a set of preliminary drawings 10 years ago that were evaluated by MnDOT. We are relooking at those plans, updating them according to the current standards, and looking at improvements to the�ramps coming off I-694 as well. Anoka County has the Central Avenue link at the intersection. Ms. Dacy stated the City is speaking with MnDOT about a similar proposal for the rainps off University due to the construction of Home Depot. Home Depot also is looking at additional 19.38 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAy 15 1996 PAGE 14 improvements to the west on 57th. Ms. Modig stated two houses were removed_ Will this require removal oF any additional homes? Ms. Dacy stated two hou5es were acquired and those are the only homes required to be removed. Mr. Kondrick stated a walkway had been discussed to connect the buildings. At what level would this walkway be constructed? Mr. Farr reviewed the elevatiori drawings showing a cross section of the site. The walkway would extend along the front of the parking deck, would be completed enclosed, and be climate controlled. While the buildings are office, there may be some supporting services inciuded in the office buildings as well. �Ir. Kondrick asked if there was a timetable. Mr. Jellison stated they anticipate 8 to 12 years. Much will be � dependent on the market and how quickly they can find users for the facility. They now have a request for proposal for one user looking for a corporate headquarters. They have also had other users looking at the site. They are not prepared to build without tenants. �� Mr. Jeilison provided a history of the company. Their company has offices and holdings throughout the world and have a regional office in the metropolitan area. Ms. Leslie Jowett is the leasing coordinator for this project. Their company builds, leases, manages, and maintains their buildings. Mr. Jim Shunt, project manager, will oversee construction. Mr. Oquist stated 8 to 10 years seems like a long time for a project to continue. What guarantee do we have that MEPC will stay with the project for that time? Mr. Jellison stated MEpC has a two-year window with the City to get something to happen or the City can ask MEPC to leave. MEPC's goal is to build and to have parks. It does not work well to have one building by itself. With additional buildings and as companies grow, we can take them into one of our buildings and they can grow with us. our goal is to grow with our tenants. Much of what happens is based upon the market. Even during difficult times, MEPC has never lost a project. Mr. Oquist stated they had mentioned a common area by the buildings for entertainment. He did not want loud music. ��ts?;. 19.39 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 15, 1996 PAGE 15 Ms. Dacy stated the same concern came from the neighborhood. Staff will evaluate that along with the developer. The HRA's intent in developing the site is to maintain as much control as possible. The contract states MEPC can market the site on behalf of the HRA. If MEPC gets a user, the HRA will negotiate with MEPC for the land to get a building up and parking in. There is an incentive in a second building. It will be a partnership type of approach. Mr. Douglas stated at this time there is traffic in the morning that builds up on the entrance ramp to I-694 west. Will reconstruction alleviate that problem? Ms. Dacy stated they are adding capacity to the intersection so that should help somewhat. Staff has talked to MnDOT about the eastbound ramp onto Highway 65. It may help because there will be additional lane capacity. . Mr. Benshoof stated they did a traffic study on the City's behalf. Intersection improvements will add capacity for the southbound traffic. We have no control over the ramp meter or the rate at which it works which is under the control of the State. Mr. Oquist stated, if we do construction on the intersection, we need to take into consideration that it does not adversely impact �he curr�nt traffic flow which is now bad at best. Ms. Dacy stated this was a good point and she will bring that up with the State staff. Now that we have a plan that is up to date and recent, they can start to evaluate it for what they need to do for the intersection. Mr. Kondrick asked if the petitioner, after reading the recommendation by staff and reviewing the 12 stipulations, had any problems with the stipulations. Mr. Farr stated they generally agree with the i2 recommendations. On #8, they will be asked for the 9-foot wide parking stall which is consistent with most communities in the area and consistent with the low turnaround rate of this type of business. Mr. Saba asked if they had any ideas of what they can do in that space to reduce traffic. Ms. Dacy stated the developer and she have not had an opportunity to delve into that area. Cities along i-494 have developed a coalition to find out where employees are coming from, where they �=�s'��;. are going, and developing a program around that. MTCO has a good � � � ro ram on car p g pooling. That would help on peak hour traffic. 19.44 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 15 1996 PAGE 16 Mr. Oquist asked if consideration has been given to have a bus route on the west side. They had also talked about a walkway over Highway 65 at the time of the original proposal. Ms. Dacy stated she has not seen anything about a walkway. It is a challenge across Highway 65 and University to make intersections safe for pedestrians. They have talked with MTCO staff and discussed what we can do to promote transit use to this site. Mr. Farrier asked how the interim maintenance was being addressed. Ms. Dacy stated the HRA i.s responsible for taking care of the lawn. Mr. Farrier asked if that would contin��. Ms. Dacy stated this would continue as long as we own the property. When the property is sold, MEPC will be responsible for the maintenance. Mr. �arrier asked if a fence has been or should be considered.to the north side of the development. � Ms..Dacy stated there are some properties who have chain link fences and some do not. They.have not at this point discussed a. typical screening fence. The intent has been to provide for as much vegetation and trees as possible. Mr. Kondrick asked the distance between the residential property lines and the parking ramp. Ms. Dacy stated from the property line to the street is about 40 feet, then the street itself, and then another 50 to 60 feet to the edge of the parking deck. Ms. Modig asked if the property owners will be impacted mostly by the parking areas. Ms. Dacy stated, if you go west to east, the elevation increases. Some of the homes are below the buffer strip. There is a buffer there and there will be a berm in front of the parking ramp with trees on top of the berm. Mr. Farrier stated he thought a.fence should be considered along the north side and also along Kerry Lane. Mr. Farrier asked if they had considered the effect on Moore ��#;2 Lake. Is an environmental impact study underway? `'�'"' 19,41 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 15 199b PAGE 17 Ms. Dacy stated they have addressed the environmental impact on Moore Lake. Ten years ago, five ponds were constructed to handle run off from the parking lots and buildings. MEPC is proposing five additional ponds to contain water. The watershed district is to evaluate the impact. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing.

Located on the s'ect parcel is a single family dwelling unit with an attached arage. The petitioner is proposing to construct a 20 foot x 24 f ot accessory structure in the rear yard. The rear yard does siope rom the street level down toward the back of the property and wards Meadowlands Park. The lower level of the dwelling is a walk-out. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has submi ted plans for a metal accessory structure. The front would be wood. The request does not exceed the maximum structural coverage of 25� permitted by code and meets the setback requirements for ccessory structures in a rear yard. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner's request for a etal accessory structure is somewhat unusual when compare to similar cases the Planning Commission has reviewed in the past In similar cases, the City has typically granted a specia �•,use permit with the stipulation that states the accessory sti'`ucture is to be architecturally compatible with the primary struc�ture on ��'��`' the property. The property to the east of the petitioner has a structure of similar construction and materials_ The City did 19.44 'rV: W illlam W. 13ums, Gity Manager Y W 96-134 City of Fridley FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works Director DATE: June 24, 1996 SUBJECT: Fridley Water Treatment Plant No. 3, Project No. 293 On June 19, 1996, at 11:00 am bids vPere open for the construction of a iron manganese water filtration plant at Well No. 12 (Fridley Water Treatment Plant No. 3). Plans were submitted to 29 contractors. Four bids were received. The low bidder was Richmar Construction, Inc. at $ i,507,485. The engineer� estimate identified an amount of $1,395,000 for the construction of the water treatment plant. The lowest bid received is $112,485 over the budgeted amount. It appears that the electrical iten�s specified in the specification were under estimated. Based upon our projected Water Enterprise Fund, there are sufficient funds available to support this project as bid. To provide the maximum amount of filtered water to residents throughout the year, I would recommend that the City Council receive the bids and award the contract to Richmar Construction, Inc. for the construction of Fridley Water Treatment Plant No. 3, Project No. 293 for the amount of $1,507,485.

Four (4) bids were submitted on this project and all of the bids appear to be MUNICIPAI in order. PIANNING samwas� In early May, we prepared an estimate of probable cost for the construction work sr�ucru�at associated with this project. That estimate was $1,395,000. The bids received today are SURVEYING tabulated on the attached sheets and a summary appears beiow. � TRAFFIC TRANSPORTATION B idder ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL Richmar Construction, Inc. ENG�NEERING: Sheehey Construction Company, Inc HVAC POwER DISTRIBUTION Newmech Companies, Inc. scn�A Stahl Constructian Company Total Construction Cost $1,507,485 $1,558,141 $1,566, 800 $1,934,999 SYSTEM CONTROLS As you can see, three of the bids were extremely competitive. However, the low bid is higher than the aforementioned cost estimate by $112,485. After an analysis of a breakdown of the bids, it appears that our estimate of probable costs underestimated the electrical and instrumentation costs by approximately $125,000, which would explain our overall cost estimate being lower than the actual bids. OffICES IN: MINNEAPOLIS PRIOR {AKE ST. PAUL WASECA The low estimate for the electrical and instrumentation work is tikely due to two factors. The first is that the estimated cost that we prepared in May for the electrical and instrumentation is low. After a further review of the estimated costs, we should have included a higher value for this work. The second likely cause for the higher electrical 2�.�2 An Equal Opportun�ty Emplo}•er Mr. John G. Flora June 19, 1996 Page Two and instrumentation costs is that one equipment/services vendor has performed a significant amount of past work in the City. Because of this vendor's existing equipment and past experience in the City, the other two specified vendors may have been unable to provide competitive prices for the work and, in addition, the vendor of the existing equipment may have had less incentive to reduce their prices_ Based on the overall competitive bids that were received, and the fact that construction of Water Treatment Plant No. 3 will result in the City having adequate capacity to filter 100 % of the non-summer water demand and 90 % of the summer water demand, we would recommend that the Council consider awarding the contract to the low bidder, Richmar Construction, Inc.
