William Burns, City Manager, said the legislation amends the comprehensive sign plan for 250 57th Avenue (Cub Foods Building). The 1999 sign plan provides for signage for the four tenants who were in the building at that time. The revisions provide for signage for the existing three tenants with the understanding that the allowable signage will be redistributed as allowed by our code among future tenants. Staff recommends Council's approval. THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON THE REGULAR AGENDA. 2.

Approve School Resource Officer Agreement between the City of Fridley and Independent School District No. 14. William Burns, City Manager, said the contract applies for the 2008-2009 school year. The only change to the existing contract is a change in the amount paid by the District for the services of the two officers. The amount has been raised to $68,023 from $64,480. The increase reflects the City's increased salary and benefit costs for the two officers. The District pays '/z of the salaries for the 9-month period during which these officers serve at the Fridley Middle School and the Fridley High School. Staff recommends Council's approval.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA: MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt the agenda with the addition of Items 1 and 7. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. OPEN FORUM (VISITORS): Jim Kosluchar, Public Works Director, responded to an issue brought up at the Council meeting of September 15 during Open Forum. Business owner Bert Martinez had flooding issues last fall and more severe problems this August. The neighbor across the street also had some flooding issues. Mr. Martinez's building was constructed as a single family home in 1950. Many additions and changes have taken place to arrive at the current state of the building including an additional area around the building. When the area was originally constructed, it did not have water retaining ponds, so rainfall in the older impervious developed areas washes stormwater immediately into the drainage system. The building is also at the low point of the area. Mr. Kosluchar said in recent years, the City added two additional inlets. Last year, a survey was started in the area and staff has been monitoring any significant rainstorms. Since that time, staff has discovered and verified that there is an existence of a control structure down the street. In August, there was about 2" of rainfall in 2 hours--an intense storm. The system backed up which created a problem at the Martinez building and the building across the street. Mr. Kosluchar said land survey boundary conditions of the watershed will be completed and the static control structure has been opened up to increase the capacity. We hope to use the field investigation to create a hydraulic model of the area, find out what is cost effective and what will work to resolve the problem. Mayor Lund asked if Mr. Kosluchar has spoken to the property owner. Mr. Kosluchar answered yes. Councilmember Bolkcom said she met with Mr. Martinez last week and noticed the storm drains are very small. She also noticed that Mr. Martinez is in the low end of the area and he showed her the damage from the last storm. She encouraged staff to look at the static control structure to see if it makes sense to continue. For now, it has been opened up, and going forward we need to look at opportunities and what it would cost to remedy this situation. Mayor Lund said that the problem is further down stream than just opening up more outlets for the water drain from the area. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 PAGE 5 Mr. Kosluchar said that the control structure may not be needed and modification would be the most cost effective solution for now. It will be one to two weeks before the survey results are known. The important thing is to define the boundary area. Mr. Martinez has had this issue for about 10 years and there is a truck well on the south side of the property that will also hold water. There are also other issues on the other side of the street. This is in an older infrastructure development so we need to take a look at the overall watershed area. Mayor Lund asked when they can expect a determination of what is going to fix the problem. Mr. Kosluchar said that it will more than likely be 2009 before they come to a permanent resolution to fix the problem. Mayor Lund wanted people to understand that there is more involved than the discussion tonight. Councilmember Bolkcom asked that an update of the discussion tonight be forwarded to Mr. Martinez. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Approve Amendment to Comprehensive Sign Plan for Tri-Land Properties, Inc., Generally Located at 250 — 57t'' Avenue N.E. (Ward 3) Councilmember Bolkcom asked what they were agreeing to. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, said the City Code allows a formula to proportion the size of the sign to the size of the building. Based on how many tenants there are, they get a certain amount of signage. The owners would like to redistribute some of the sign space and would like to tell their tenants how much signage they can have. When they learned about the formula, they were able to drop their variance and want to redistribute the signage footage. Now it is clear to the future tenant how much signage they will be allowed. We are not giving away additional signage space, but the 1999 comprehensive sign plan does not address their situation today. Councilmember Bolkcom asked where the amendment was. Mr. Hickok said they would like to build a template for future tenants to use. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the amendment to the Comprehensive Sign Plan for Tri-Lane Properties, Inc., generally located at 250 — 57th Avenue N.E. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 PAGE 6 7. Approve School Resource Officer Agreement between the City of Fridley and Independent School District No. 14. Councilmember Bolkcom said that Dr. Burns had mentioned at the budget meeting funding related to the increase of wages. William Burns, City Manager, said that staff was preparing some commentary for a budget work session. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the School Resource Officer Agreement between the City of Fridley and Independent School District No. 14. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 11. Receive Bids and Award Contract for the Commons Park Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project No. 379. Jim Kosluchar, Public Works Director, said on Wednesday, September 10, 2008, six bids were opened for the Commons Park Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project. Staff affirms Bonestroo's recommendation to construct the base bid work along with Alternates 1 and 2. Mr. Kosluchar said that Alternate 1, the backwash tank improvements, will allow for a greater amount of recycled water, greater efficiency, and reduced discharge to the sanitary sewer (which is metered and paid for by the City). Mr. Kosluchar said that additional investigations were performed on the filters at the Commons Park Plant and Locke Park Plant to determine the performance of the air wash system. A clear and definitive improvement was found in the backwash performance when the filters operate with the air wash system. They would expect a longer filter media life, shorter backwash cycles, and reduced possibility of sludge buildup in the filters by awarding the work included in Alternate 2. Mr. Kosluchar said the estimate based on the project plans was $707,000 for construction of the base bid items and Alternate one and two work The budgeted amount for this project in 2008 is $500,000. The low bid is $606,700 for all work including Alternates one and two. The project is to be funded by the 2008-09 utility bond issue supported by water rates. Mr. Kosluchar said that in order to award the entire proj ect and maintain our 2008 budget, staff would recommend that the alley reconstruction to Pump House Nos. 4 and 6 be suspended for a later budget cycle. This is our lowest priority project in the 2008 Water Division CIP. Staff recommends the City Council receive the bids and award the Commons Park Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project (No. 379), including Alternates 1 and 2, to Shank Constructors, Inc., in the amount of $606,700 and that the alley reconstruction to Pump House Nos. 4 and 6 be suspended and included in a future budget cycle to be determined. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 PAGE 7 Councilmember Saefke agreed that the e�tra expense is worth it just for the cleanliness. He asked if part of this contract included clean up or paint touch-up. Mr. Kosluchar responded yes, clean up is included in the project and it also includes an access door that can be used in the future. There is also a plan to open up a wall. Councilmember Saefke commented that the entrances to the main ways and exits were too small by OSHA standards. He encouraged staff to take a look at the main ways. Mr. Kosluchar said he would make sure that is looked at. Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the pump house and if Council should wait until later. She asked what would happen if the process was delayed. Mr. Kosluchar said that the pump houses are not the next priority. Staff would like to take some time to look at the 2009 budget and talk about that in more detail at the next budget meeting. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there was any indication of energy costs or decrease of water going into the system Mr. Kosluchar said that this should reduce by a factor of 3 or 4. The number was low enough that we had good value and we were expecting the price to be much higher. Councilmember Bolkcom said that it would be interesting to see what it would save us. Mayor Lund asked why this was not considered as necessary work to be done. Mr. Kosluchar said that there was some uncertainty as to what the cost components would be. Councilmember Bolkcom asked when the process would start. Mr. Kosluchar said in November. MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to receive bids and award the contract for the Commons Park Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project No. 379 to Shank Constructors, Inc., in the amount of $606,700. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 12. Informal Status Report. Councilmember Bolkcom said that on October 11 there will be another recycling event to get rid of computers, bicycles, etc. For more information go to www.ci.fridlev.mn.us. This FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 PAGE 8 Saturday there will be another paper shredding event from 9:00 a.m. to noon. She also mentioned that they are working on Osborne Road from October 7 through 11 and the road will be closed. There will be a detour as they work on the railroad crossing. Councilmember Barnette said he received two calls with regards to the quiet zone and why the whistles are still blowing. Councilmember Bolkcom said the final application had to go in and they have 20 days to respond, so we are looking at the end of October before we would actually have silence. Mayor Lund said the Octoberfest first annual celebration was not very well attended, but those there had a good time. They hope to expand the event next year. William Burns, City Manager, said the City newsletter will be coming out soon. ADJOURN: MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to adjourn. Seconded by Councilmember Varichak.

During that conversation, members of Unity Hospital explained that they have sent out Request for Proposal's (RFP's) for a Master Plan for the hospital campus. That plan is scheduled to be done in early 2009. As a result, they would like to determine the need for structured parking when they've completed the Master Plan process. Staff felt that was an agreeable solution and as a result has re-worded stipulation #11 to read, "City staff will evaluate the need for structured parking on this site, when the Master Plan is submitted in early 2009." PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the October 1, 2008, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for SP #08- 13.

The property is located on Osborne Road, east of University Avenue and is approximately 35 acres in size when including the land is which the Professional Building is located on. The hospital was originally constructed in 1965. Also, located on the property is a maintenance garage. Additions to the hospital have occurred in 1967, 1970, 1971, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1991, 1993, 1996, and 1999, 2003, and 2006. Special use permits were granted in 1984, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2003, and 2006 to allow expansions of a hospital use in a residentially zoned district. Including the proposed request, the City has reviewed 3 special use permits for additions to Unity hospital within the last 5 years. In 2003, the City Council approved a special use permit to allow a 2,375 square foot expansion to the Radiation Therapy Center which is located on the south side of the building. In 2006, the City Council approved a plan for the Hospital's Emergency Department that allowed for the remodel of 11,000 square feet and an approximate 9,600 square foot addition. -° , , , , _� f. d � 7'_ � d _ : r y _ ti a,_ � �� ' . , �; »� � � y � � �.� +— 1 � ' t ,-� ; ��.. � ti. y �ti£=� 4 u��7 4 i .�I ' �`�� - � � �,;'� - � -�� °�7 a.... � " r � - _ - , .A'ti t:: ' '` � , . � =_ �- � = 4� E � 1 � � � _ t� i ��,... � - , # � ,. ��` ° . . � "f , .1. � .{ � , ,��- � 5 ' ANALYSIS AND CODE � � F �� ` � '� ��`��- � � � -i � `� ' � ,. � �. REQUIREMENTS �; ;: , ,�.�,�.. `��,� �� ,_, .�' ,. _ _ r , _£� Hospitals are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district provided that the proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations suggested by staff. The proposed expansion will allow for the construction of a free-standing building to be used as the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute on the north side of the existing hospital. The approximate size of the proposed building is 124 ft. by 142 ft. When including the length of the connection link to the hospital; the proposed building will be approximately 19,000 square feet. The petitioner has stated that there will not be an increase in new patients for the first 3 years, as these patients are currently being seen at the Cancer Center that is within the Unity Professional Building. After year 3, new patients will be increased by approximately 1,096 patients per year and this will only increase staff by 2 employees. In 2006, Unity Hospital conducted a parking study to see if additional parking was warranted to be constructed. The result of the study determined that they had adequate parking on site to support the addition to the Emergency Department. However, the Hospital elected to proof 151 parking stalls, which were to be installed at such time as the City or the Hospital determined it was necessary. To date, demand for these stalls hasn't been warranted. In order to allow for the construction of the Cancer Center, 44 parking stalls will need to be removed. City Code requires the proposed building to have 65 parking stalls. The petitioner plans to install 135 parking stalls, which will meet City code requirements. The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. STAFF CONCERNS While the proposed project meets City code requirements to allow for the construction of the proposed building, staff does have some general concerns. These concerns are related to hard surface parking, site circulation, and the need for a Master Plan for the site. As was stated above, this is the third special use permit request that the City has reviewed within that last 5 years. Each addition requires the need for additional parking. As can be seen from an aerial, the site mainly consists of building and parking lot. As the hospital continues to expand there is going to be a need to provide better parking options other than surface parking. City staff would request that before subsequent additions are constructed to the hospital, a Master Plan be submitted showing the City what the maximum build-out is for the site. A Master Plan will help provide the City with a potential future plan for the Hospital and it also is good strategic planning. Staff would recommend that the Master Plan include information about full build out of the site, taking into account parking, stormwater management, and landscaping needs. Aerial of the Unity Campus and Professional Building Another staff concern is related to on site circulation. The location of the proposed building will impact vehicular and pedestrian circulation on the site by eliminating the existing east-west connection. The petitioner is proposing to move that east-west connection approximately 160 ft. north of the existing connection, just north of the proposed Cancer Center building. The site is planned to be re-worked to allow the current one-way driveway off of Osborne Road to accommodate two-way traffic to access the new connection. The new connection will allow two- way traffic which will be able to access the signalized intersection allowing patients/visitors to go either east or west on Osborne Road. The concern that staff has is that the petitioner has articulated that the Cancer Center will likely be expanded further north in the future. If that happens, the proposed east-west connection within the site will be eliminated. Staff realizes that if that happens there may be other access options to the site, other than what exists today. However early indications from Anoka County are that additional access to Osborne Road would be unlikely. Directing traffic to Lyric Lane and 5th Street also would not be a favorable option for the City as these are not designed to be arterial streets. As a result, staff will stipulate that future expansions of the Cancer Center will require an approved alternative circulation plan that continues to allow an on-site east-west connection. NEIGHBHORHOOD COMMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals are a permitted special use in the R-1, Single Family zoning district, provided that the proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to stipulations. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction. 2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements. 3. City Engineering staff to review and approve grading and drainage plan prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of building permit. 5. No outdoor storage of equipment or materials along the south side of the maintenance building. 6. The subject property shall be maintained free of any and all construction debris. 7.

Directing traffic to Lyric Lane and Sth Street also would not be a favorable option for the City as these are not designed to be arterial streets. As a result, staff will stipulate that future expansions of the Cancer Center will require an approved alternative circulation plan that continues to allow an on-site east-west connection. Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals are a permitted special use in the R-1, Single Family zoning district, provided that the proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction. 2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements. 3. City Engineering staff to review and approve grading and drainage plan prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of building permit. 5. No outdoor storage of equipment or materials along the south side of the maintenance building. 3 6. The subject property shall be maintained free of any and all construction debris. 7. Construction vehicles shall not bring materials before 7:00 am. or after 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturdays. 8. The addition shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building and finished with complementary siding and color scheme. 9. No future additions/expansion of this site shall occur unless a Master Plan has been submitted detailing what the full build-out could be for the site. 10. Future expansion of the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute shall require an approved alternative vehicular and pedestrian circulation plan that continues to allow an on- site east-west connection. 11. �^~�� ^ ° �;+�^„+ ^ �+r^+°�;^ ~��^~� �^r �+^,^+„r°� ~�^r��;~�� City staffwill evaluate the ., . need for structured parkin� on this site, when the Master Plan is submitted in earl. 2� 12.

Ms. Stromberg stated staff has had some conversations with the petitioner and members of Unity Hospital today who have indicated they're working on getting a master plan designed for the site. As a result staff has eliminated Stipulation No. 11 from what is in the Commission's packet to now read, "City staff will evaluate the need for structured parking on this site, when the Master Plan is submitted in early 2009." Representatives of Unity Hospital have told staff they will have something to show the City in January- February 2009. Commissioner Kondrick asked Ms. Stromberg when she says, structured parking, she means parking ramp? Ms. Stromberg replied, correct. Commissioner Sielaff stated he was a little confused about the circular route to the professional building. Coming from Osborne, how is that changing from what is out there now? He asked about the scenarios. Ms. Stromberg replied, currently they have the east-west connection existing on the site. For example, if somebody is coming eastbound on Osborne Road, they could turn into the campus and go to professional building. They then have the option to access the existing east-west connection and leave the sight through the signalized stoplight and go either east or west on Osborne Road. If somebody is going westbound on Osborne, they will have to turn in on Madison to get to the professional building and use the back parking lot. The petitioner is proposing to have a new east-west connection on site. If the cancer center is expanded further north, they are going to lose that connection. So there will no longer be and east-west connection on site and that is staff's concern. Chairperson Savage pointed out that concern is addressed in Stipulation No. 10. � Ms. Stromberg replied, that is correct. Commissioner Dunham asked whether Stipulation No. 5 is something that was carried over from the last special use permit? Ms. Stromberg replied, yes. Commissioner Sielaff asked what does it mean to proof 151 parking stalls? Ms. Stromberg replied what that means is the petitioner has designated on the site plan an area, west of their existing parking lot, and then an area south of their existing parking lot, that they could have 151 stalls if the City deemed they were necessary. Commissioner Sielaff asked how did staff determine whether there was no need for the other parking stalls? Ms. Stromberg replied that in 2006 Unity Hospital did a survey of their parking needs to determine if there current parking was being utilized and if additional staff were warranted. Chairperson Savage asked the petitioner if they had any problem with any of the stipulations? Don Rolf, with HDR Architecture, replied, no, we've addressed No. 11. Commissioner Kondrick asked him whether he understand the importance of the traffic flow. He just wants it to be record that they understand this. Chairperson Savage asked if there was a reason behind the name "Virginia Piper" for the cancer center? Pat Belland, Vice President of Operations, Unity Hospital, stated the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute is actually on the Abbott-Northwestern campus under the Allina Hospitals and Clinics umbrella which is what Unity is a part of. They have identified the protocols and approach to treatment of cancer care under the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute as the ultimate care for Allina's patients.

Chairperson Savage stated she would agree. Commissioner Sielaff stated the fact they are willing to do a master plan by 2009 resolves any concerns he would have.
