INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Project Description
Children's Design Group is requesting a Site Plan review to develop the
recently created lot at 7401 Metro Boulevard with a Primrose Day Care
Center. (See project location on pages Al—A4, and the applicant narrative
and plans on pages A5 A18.) During the final platting of this property in
September of 2011, this same building was contemplated for construction on
the site.
Access to the site would be off Metro Boulevard. No new curb cut would be
created. Parking for the site would be provided from the lot to the south
through a shared parking arrangement. The outdoor play area would be
enclosed for security, with an ornamental six-foot black picket fence. (See
page A10a.) The building would be built of stone and hardie plank lap siding
with wood finish. The roof would be made of architectural asphalt shingles.
(See pages A7a—A7c.) The applicant will have a materials board to present to
the Planning Commission the night of the public hearing.
Parking and traffic studies were done to review impacts that the proposed
development would have on the site and surrounding roadways. (See the
parking study on pages A20 --A28 and the traffic study on pages A29—A60.)
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Surrounding Land Uses
Northerly: A three-story office building; zoned POD -1, Office District and
guided Office.
Easterly: Highway 100.
Southerly: A six -story office building; zoned POD -2, Office District and
guided Office.
Westerly: Edina Public Works; zoned PID, Industrial and guided Industrial.
Existing Site Features
The subject property contains a parking lot attached to a six -story office
building with 557 parking stalls. (See pages A3—A4.)
Planning
Guide Plan designation: Office
Zoning: POD -2, Office
Parking
A shared parking arrangement is proposed with the lot to the south. Based on
the size of the existing building on lot to the south, 454 parking stalls are
required. Both lots currently contain 557 stalls; however, 72 would be
removed with the new building, for a total of 485. With the proposed day care
use on the site, based on a maximum of 22 employees and 180 children on
the site at one time, 485 stalls would be required for both lots. The applicant
has provided a proof -of -parking plan that demonstrates that an additional 21
stalls could easily be added for a total of 506 stalls should parking ever
become a problem and more stalls needed. (See page A18.)
Additionally, the applicant provided a parking study that concludes that there
would be more than enough parking spaces on the site. (See pages A20—
A28.) Specifically the study indicates that 309 is the peak parking demand for
the site, therefore, there would still be an excess of nearly 200 stalls.
Before issuance of a building permit, a shared parking arrangement with the
southern lot must be executed.
Site Access
The primary access to the site would remain off Metro Boulevard.
Landscaping
Based on the perimeter of the site, 22 overstory trees are required. The
landscape and site plans demonstrate that there would be 22 existing and
proposed overstory trees on the site. Additionally, full complements of
understory plantings are also proposed along the site entrance and front
entrance to the building. (See pages A15—A16.)
2
Grading/Drainage/Utilities
The city engineer has reviewed the proposed grading, drainage and utility
plans and has provided comment on page Al 9. A Nine Mile Creek
Watershed permit would be required prior to issuance of a building permit.
Building Design
The building would be built of stone and hardie plank lap siding with wood
finish. The roof would be made of architectural asphalt shingles. (See page
A7a) The applicant will have a materials board to present to the Planning
Commission the night of the public hearing.

Primary Issue
• Is the proposed development reasonable for this site?
Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for three reasons:
1. The proposed use is permitted in the POD -2 District.
3
2. The proposed plan creates development over a parking lot that is not used
by the existing office at 7401 Metro Boulevard.
3. The proposed Site Plan meets all applicable zoning ordinance
requirements.
4. The parking and traffic studies done by Spack Consulting conclude that
there would be adequate parking, and the use would not have a negative
impact on adjacent roadways.
Staff Recommendation
Recommend that the City Council approve the Site Plan at 7401 Metro Boulevard
for the Primrose Day Care.
Approval is based on the following findings:
The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site
Plan.
2. Spack Consulting conducted a traffic impact and parking study, and
concluded that the existing roadway system could support the proposed
project, and there would be more than enough parking.
Approval of the Site Plan is subject to the following conditions:
I Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in
substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the
conditions below:
Site plan date stamped November 28, 2011.

Project: Primrose School at Edina
7401 Metro Boulevard
Edina, MN, 55439
Subject: Application Narrative
1. General Description
The proposed Primrose School of Edina will be a high quality provider of child care and early childhood
education for 181 children ages 6 week to 12 years, employing 40+ teachers & staff. The building will cover
12,000 square feet +/- on a 1 acre lot. The facility will generally be open 6:00 am to 6:30 PM Monday through
Friday. The children in our care will be kept on premises at all times except for planned field trips in the area.
Primrose currently has franchise's operating in Savage, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, Woodbury, Plymouth,
Blaine, Lakeville, and Egan.
2. Existing Land Use
The land is vacant and is zoned Planned Office District 2 (POD -2), child care is permitted by right.
3. Phasing- Construction Schedule
All work will be done in a single phase. After zoning approval and obtaining building permits, we estimate 6
months will be required for construction.
I IN !,!,Iw o>,Ri
4. Development Method
Primrose Schools are owned by a local member orthe community. The franchise owner is responsible for
financing the purchase of the land and construction of the school; additionally, the franchise owner is required to
be onsite during the schools hours of operation. The project's architectural development and construction
administration will be performed by Children's Design Group (CDG), who has over 23 years of childcare
facility development experience. All development and construction work will be competitively bid by General
Contractors who specialize in the construction of educational childcare facilities.
S. Signage
We have proposed a monument sign as shown on the site plan and site details. An attractive building sign is
shown on the front elevation. Shade shelters are provided with logos.
6. Traffic/Parking Analysis
Traffic will not be adversely impacted in the surrounding area as the school ties in the natural traffic pattern of
most commuters. Parents will be commuting in a direction that would take them directly by or near the school.
Unlike a retail operation, the parents will be very familiar with the traffic patterns and volumes at the school and
will adjust to the daily traffic accordingly.
The school will have 43 dedicated parking spaces, 2 of which are handicapped accessible. Parents are required
to physically bring their child or children into the center and sign in and out. Many times the parent will have a
short discussion with the child's caregiver. With 23 (max at any one time) spaces allocated for staff and van
parking, a total of 20 spaces will be provided for unloading and loading. Our studies and experience tell us the
average time for loading and unloading (parking time) is seven minutes. With 18 spaces allocated for parents, a
total of 154 cars per hour could be accommodated, far more than necessary to accommodate the 181 children
that would come from approximately 135 families using the center. Arrivals occur from 6:00am until gam and
departures are generally from 3pm to 6:30pm. From our experience with the design of over 600 centers in the
past 20 years, we assure you adequate parking is provided.
7. Building Material and Design Elements -
The building has been designed to fit with the attractive architecture of the area. Each elevation has features to
enhance the area's aesthetic. The building is tied to the ground with strong horizontal lines and a defined brick
base with horizontal siding above. The building has been designed to look "homelike". Each elevation has
features to enhance the residential aesthetic. The roof will be architectural shingles. The building has a "T"
plan to break down the visual mass of the building. Visible wall faces are articulated to add interest and reduce
the scale. Gables are used to break the roof plane.
Security is a top concern for Primrose. Security is provided at the front door of the school with an electronic
check-in system for children. Playgrounds are fenced and gated, Primrose provides a building that exceeds
requirements for fire sallety. Not only for fire egress but also for case of operations, each classroom has direct
exit and access to outside playground areas. Every Primrose building is also equipped with a fire alarm and
smoke detection system.
The Primrose interior decor creates a soft, warm, homelike environment through the u"_OfX�
and wood trim. The plan consists of closed classrooms that are all sized larger than state requirements.
0C, 11:1
4 J)IIINIA
Classrooms are bright and cheerful with lots of windows. Areas for computers are provided for all children over
the age of three. Older children are provided state of the art audiovisual equipment as well.
S. Other -
There are no major high powered electrical lines near the site that would generate potentially harmful
electromagnetic fields. This site will not generate ftinics, odors, glare, vibration, gases, radiation, dust, liquid
waste, or smoke and there are no sites nearby that would generate the same that would impact the school.
Conclusion
Rest assured that as owner/operators, we intend to keep the premises in a safe, clean, neat, and wholesome
condition. By the nature of our service, we shall comply in all respects with all governmental, health and
police requirements.
In conclusion, we firmly believe the Primrose School of Edina will be an asset to the community and will
provide a safe, clean, and friendly environment for both the children in our care and the surrounding
community.

1. Executive Summary
a. Background and Purpose
Hempel Properties manages One Corporate Circle, a 110,975 gross
square foot office complex located at 7401 Metro Boulevard in Edina, MN
(see Figure 1). The purpose of this study is to assess the parking
feasibility of adding a 11,500 square foot day care center to the northern
portion of the site.
= One Corporate Circle in Edina, MN
Figure 1'— Location Maps
b. Results
If the existing One Corporate Circle building was fully occupied, it is
anticipated 266 of the 557 parking spaces would be tilled with vehicles
during the peak parking period. The proposed day care center footprint
will eliminate 65 parking stalls leaving the office building's associated peak
parking with 226 vacant parking stalls. At the day care center's peak
parking period, which is conservatively being combined to coincide with
the office building's peak, the day care center will need 43 parking stalls.
Based on the analyses in this study, it is expected peak parking demand
would occupy 309 of the 492 available parking stalls after the proposed
11,500 square foot day care center is built on the site. There will continue
to be ample parking on the One Corporate Circle site after the day care
center is fully operational.

2. Existing Parking Data
a. Data Collection Procedure
The parking lot was divided into three zones and a visual count was made
every half hour to determine how many cars were parked in each of the
three zones. A map showing the three zones is included in Appendix A.
The first count was started at 8:00 a.m, and the last count was started at
4:30 p.m. Counts were collected on Thursday, May 5, 2011. Data was
recorded in 30 minute increments using hand held data collection
equipment (Jamar Count Boards).
b. Existing Parking Utilization
The three zones contain a total of 557 parking stalls. This includes 545
regular stalls and 12 handicap stalls. The most stalls occupied on
Thursday, May 5th (197) occurred at 10:30a.m. which represents 35.4% of
the available parking. A trendline of the site's parking occupancy for May
5th is shown in Figure 2. Detailed existing parking data by zones and in
total is contained in Appendix A.

3. Parking Forecasts and Analyses
a. Parking with Full Occupancy
One Corporate Circle currently has a 22.1% vacancy rate. To be
conservative in the assessment of maximum parking needs, we factored
the actual counts by 22.1 % plus an additional 5% to allow a "safety factor".
Figure 3 shows the factored parking trendline. Factoring the peak demand
of 197 parked vehicles results in a maximum of 266 vehicles parked on
site, which represents 47.7% of the available parking. Detailed factored
parking data by zones and in total is contained in Appendix C.

b. Forecast Parking
A parking generation analysis was performed for the proposed
development based on the methods and rates published in the ITE
Parking Generation Manual, 4th Edition, The Manual is a compilation of
data collected at existing facilities throughout the United States. The peak
parking periods for a day care center (ITE land use code 565) areom
8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The peak ing
demand on site occurred at 10:30 a.m., which does not coinc' ith the
peak period of the proposed day care center. To be co ativk, the
peak parking to be generated by the day care center w alig'with
the site's peak.
One Cnrnnrate Circle 3 Eciina, AIN
Parking Impact Sti0j, May, 11111
44
The 85" percentile peak period parking demand for a day care center is
3.70 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. Using this
parking rate results in needing 43 parking stalls for an 11,500 square foot
day care center. Of the 557 parking spaces supplied on site, 266 spaces
would be expected to be occupied if the site's buildings are fully leased
and 65 spaces would be expected to be eliminated to make room for the
day care center. This leaves 226 parking spaces vacant to be used by the
day care center.
4. Conclusions and Recommendations
If the existing One Corporate Circle buildings were fully occupied, it is anticipated
266 of the 557 parking spaces would be filled with vehicles during the peak
parking period. The proposed day care center footprint will eliminate 65 parking
stalls leaving the office building's associated peak parking with 226 vacant
parking stalls. At the day care center's peak parking period, which is
conservatively being combined to coincide with the office building's peak, the day
care center will need 43 parking stalls.
Based on the analyses in this study, it is expected peak parking demand would
occupy 309 of the 492 available parking stalls after the proposed 11,500 square
foot day care center is built on the site. There will continue to be ample parking
on the One Corporate Circle site after the day care center is fully operational.

1. Introduction and Summary
a. Purpose of Report and Study Objectives
Children's Design Group is proposing to build an approximately
12,000 square foot daycare center on the northern corner of the
parking lot at 7401 Metro Boulevard in Edina, MN. The daycare
center will be known as the Primrose School and it will share the
surface parking lot with the One Corporate Circle office building.
The Traffic and Parking Study for One Corporate Circle dated May
9, 2011 found ample parking on site to accommodate the daycare
center.
The purpose of this report is to determine if the proposed daycare
will significantly impact the adjacent transportation system in the
near term and to recommend mitigation measures if necessary.
The study objectives are:
i. Document how the adjacent existing transportation system
operates.
ii. Analyze how the adjacent transportation system will operate
in 2013 if there is no development.
iii. Analyze how the adjacent transportation system will operate
in 2013 with full development of the site.
iv. Recommend improvements if needed.
The scope of this traffic study follows the City of Edina's
Transportation impact Analysis Initiation and Review Policy. The
following intersections are analyzed in this study:
i. West 70th Street/Metro Boulevard
ii. Northern Site Driveway/Metro Boulevard
iii. Southern Site Driveway/Metro Boulevard
iv. Edina industrial Boulevard/Metro Boulevard
b. Executive Summary
The development is proposed to contain a 12,000 square foot
daycare center with 45 parking stalls. The daycare center is
anticipated to be fully operational by the year 2013. This report
analyzes the 2013 No -Build and Build scenarios to determine if any
transportation improvements will be necessary to allow traffic to
operate acceptably after the development is fully occupied.
Traffic Impact Study
The study intersections are forecast to operate acceptably at Level
of Service D or better in 2013 with the addition of traffic from the
proposed development. No additional modifications to the existing
public transportation system will be needed to accommodate the
proposed development.

Figure 2.1 -• Location Map
b. Land Use and Intensity
The proposed development will consist of a 12,000 square foot
daycare center with a playground area. The proposed daycare
center's footprint will eliminate 65 parking stalls and will be sharing
a parking lot and driveways with the One Corporate Circle office
building. A parking study at this lot was conducted by Spack
Consulting in May of 2011. The study showed that there is
expected to be adequate parking available after the daycare center
is fully operational. The parking study can be found in the
Appendix.

3. Analysis of Existing Conditions
a. Transportation !Network Characteristics
Edina Industrial Boulevard is Municipal State Aid Street 136. It is
designated as an "A" Minor Arterial and a Primary Bicycle Route in
the City of Edina's Comprehensive Plan. Edina Industrial
Boulevard is a four lane road with a 30 mph speed limit near the
site.
West 70th Street is Municipal State Aid Street 145. It is designated
as a Collector Street and a Primary Bicycle Route in the City of
Edina's Comprehensive Plan. West 701h Street is a four lane road
east of Metro Boulevard and a two lane road west of Metro
Boulevard with a 30 mph speed limit near the site.
Metro Boulevard is Municipal State Aid Street 172. It is designated
as a Collector Street and a portion of it is designated as a Primary
Bicycle Route in the City of Edina's Comprehensive Plan. Metro
Boulevard is a four lane road near the intersection with West 70th
Street and a two lane road nearer to the site with a 30 mph speed
limit.
There are several bus stops served by Metro Transit buses near
the proposed site. Stops are located west of the site along 74th
Street West and south of the site along Metro Boulevard. These
stops are served by Metro Transit routes 5, 540 and 578.
Existing traffic control, speed limits and travel lanes are shown on
Figure 3.1 for each study intersection.
b. Traffic Volumes
Turning movement volumes were counted at the study intersections
between 6:00 am. and 7:00 p.m. on a typical weekday. The a.m.
and p.m. peak hour times were determined from these counts to
be:
Traffic Impact Study
• a.m, peak hour (between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.)
• p.m. peak hour (between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.)
The turning movement volumes were counted at the existing study
intersections in December 2011 and are shown at the end of this
section in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. The turning movement count data is
contained in fifteen minute intervals in the Appendix. The data
included in the Appendix also includes pedestrian counts (bicycles
were counted as pedestrians), which were low during the study
period (less than 25 pedestrians per crossing over the entire 13

hour count). The existing daily traffic volumes for the study
intersections are shown in Table 5.2.
ic. Level of Service
LOS A An intersection capacity analysis was conducted
for the existing intersections per the Highway
Capacity Manual. Intersections are assigned a
N "Level of Service" letter grade for the peak hour
a
of traffic based on the number of lanes at the
intersection, traffic volumes, and traffic control.
Los c Level of Service A (LOS A) represents light
,w traffic flow (free flow conditions) while Level of
Service F (LOS F) represents heavy traffic flow
(over capacity conditions). LOS D at
intersections is typically considered acceptable
LOS 0 Acceptable in the Twin Cities region. individual movements
r� are also assigned LOS grades. One or more
individual movements typically operate at LOS F
T when the overall intersection is operating
acceptably at LOS D. The pictures on the left
represent some of the LOS grades (from a signal
t_os F Unacceptable controlled intersection in San Jose, CA). These
LOS grades represent the overall intersection
operation, not individual movements.
Source. City of The LOS results for the existing study hours
San Jose, CA are shown in Table 3.1. These are based on
the existing traffic control and lane configurations as shown in
Figure 3.1. The existing turning movement volumes from Figures
3.2 and 3.3 were used in the LOS calculations. The LOS
calculations were done per the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual
using TRAFFIXTM software. The signal timing plans used were
determined through observation. The complete LOS calculations,
which include grades for individual movements, are included in the
Appendix. All study intersections currently operate acceptably at
LOS D or better for both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

4. Projected Traffic
a. Site Trak Forecasting
A trip generation analysis was performed for the site based on the
methods and rates published in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 8t"
Edition. The resultant trip generation is shown in Table 4.1. It was
assumed that 10% of the trips to the daycare will come from
"internal" trips. These internal trips are vehicles that will use the
daycare but are already going to the site parking lot to use the
businesses the daycare shares the lot with. Since these vehicles
are already going to the site parking lot, these trips were reduced
from the trip generation.
The directional orientation of the generated traffic is shown in
Figure 4.1. This orientation was determined by using existing daily
traffic volumes as well as the collected turning movement counts.
The distribution pattern takes into account site access and access
to the regional transportation system. The traffic generated by the
development was assigned to the area roadways per the trip
distributions shown in Figure 4.1. The traffic volumes added to the
study roadways through this process are shown in Figures 4.2 and
4.3.
b. Non -site Trak Forecasting
Traffic forecasts were developed for the year 2013 scenario by
applying a 0.96% compounded annual growth rate to the existing
traffic volume data. This growth rate is based on the 20 -year
growth factor of 1.1 the Mn/DOT State Aid office has assigned to
Hennepin County. The 2013 No -Build forecasts for each study
period are shown in Figures 4.4 and 4.5 at the end of this section.
c. Total Traffic
Traffic forecasts were developed for each study period in the year
2013 Build scenario by adding the traffic generated by the
proposed development (as shown in Figures 4.2 and 4.3) to the
2013 No -Build volumes (as shown in Figures 4.4 and 4.5). The
resultant 2013 Build forecasts are shown in Figures 4.6 and 4.7.

5. Traffic and Improvement Analysis
a. 2013 Level of Service Analysis
The LOS results for the 2013 scenario study hours are shown in
Table 5.1. These are based on the existing traffic control and lane
configurations as shown in Figure 3.1. No improvements are
programmed at any of the existing study intersections.
The forecast turning movement volumes for each No -Build and
Build scenario peak hour were used in the LOS calculations. The
LOS calculations were done in accordance with the 2010 highway
Capacity Manual using TRAFFIXTm software, including the existing
signal timing plans which were determined upon observation. The
complete LOS calculations, which include grades for individual
movements, are included in the Appendix.

'The first letter is the Level of Service for the intersection. The second letter
(in parentheses) is the Level of Service for the worst operating movement.
The results in Table 5.1 show there is no decease in LOS between
the No -Build and Build scenarios, meaning the proposed
development will have little impact on the study intersections. All
study intersections are forecasted to operate acceptably at LOS D
or better for both the a.m. and p.m, peak hours in the 2013 No -
Build and Build scenarios.
b. Daily Trak Volumes
Existing average daily traffic volumes were taken from multiple road
segments near the site. These volumes were then forecast for the
2013 No -Build and Build scenarios, which are shown in Table 5.2.
As shown in Table 5.2, no road segments near the site are
expected to reach capacity through the 2013 Build scenario.

c. Pedes&lans & Bicycles
Pedestrian volumes were very low for this area and should not be
impacted by the nominal increase in traffic volume. Sidewalks are
provided along West 70th Street and portions of Metro Boulevard.
No segregated bicycle facilities, trails, or sidewalks exist adjacent to
the project site. Given the small footprint of the proposed
development, adding a section of sidewalk within the project site
adjacent to Metro Boulevard is not recommended.
d. Travel Demand Management
The intent of a Travel Demand Management Pian is to reduce the
amount of single occupant vehicles during rush hour. Since day
care customers are dropping off their children on their way to work,
travel demand management at the center would have little impact
on them. They've already chosen their transportation mode for
their primary trip, not the secondary day care trip. Day care center
employees typically work through the rush hours and do not impact
the rush hour. It is recommended bus schedules for area transit be
made available to the center's employees.
6. Conclusions and Recommendations
The study intersections are forecast to operate acceptably at Level of
Service D or better in 2013 with the addition of traffic from the proposed
development. No additional modifications to the existing public
transportation system will be needed to accommodate the proposed
development.

1. Executive Summary
a. Background and Purpose
Hempel Properties manages One Corporate Circle, a 110,975 gross
square foot office complex located at 7401 Metro Boulevard in Edina, MN
(see Figure 1). The purpose of this study is to assess the parking
feasibility of adding a 11,500 square foot day care center to the northern
portion of the site.
Figure 1 — Location Maps
b. Results
If the existing One Corporate Circle building was fully occupied, it is
anticipated 266 of the 557 parking spaces would be filled with vehicles
during the peak parking period. The proposed day care center footprint
will eliminate 65 parking stalls leaving the office building's associated peak
parking with 226 vacant parking stalls. At the day care center's peak
parking period, which is conservatively being combined to coincide with
the office building's peak, the day care center will need 43 parking stalls.
Based on the analyses in this study, it is expected peak parking demand
would occupy 309 of the 492 available parking stalls after the proposed
11,500 square foot day care center is built on the site. There will continue
to be ample parking on the One Corporate Circle site after the day care
center is fully operational.

2. Existing Parking Data
a Data Collectflon Procedure
The parking lot was divided into three zones and a visual count was made
every half hour to determine how many cars were parked in each of the
three zones. A map showing the three zones is included in Appendix A.
The first count was started at 8:00 a.m. and the last count was started at
4:30 p.m. Counts were collected on Thursday, May 5, 2011. Data was
recorded in 30 minute increments using hand held data collection
equipment (Jamar Count Boards).
b. Existing Parking Utilization
The three zones contain a total of 557 parking stalls. This includes 545
regular stalls and 12 handicap stalls. The most stalls occupied on
Thursday, May 5th (197) occurred at 10:30a.m. which represents 35.4% of
the available parking. A trendline of the site's parking occupancy for May
5th is shown in Figure 2. Detailed existing parking data by zones and in
total is contained in Appendix A.

3. Parking Forecasts and Analyses
a. Parking with Full Occupancy
One Corporate Circle currently has a 22.1% vacancy rate. To be
conservative in the assessment of maximum parking needs, we factored
the actual counts by 22.1 % plus an additional 5% to allow a "safety factor".
Figure 3 shows the factored parking trendline. Factoring the peak demand
of 197 parked vehicles results in a maximum of 266 vehicles parked on
site, which represents 47.7% of the available parking. Detailed factored
parking data by zones and in total is contained in Appendix C.

b. Forecast Parking
A parking generation analysis was performed for the proposed
development based on the methods and rates published in the ITE
Parking Generation Manual, Orn Edition. The Manual is a compilation of
data collected at existing facilities throughout the United States. The peak
parking periods for a day care center (ITE land use code 565) are from
8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The peak parking
demand on site occurred at 10:30 a.m., which does not coincide with the
peak period of the proposed day care center. To be conservative, the
peak parking to be generated by the day care center will be aligned with
the site's peak.
One Corporate Circle 3 Edina, MN
Parkin Impact Study A5 May 2011
Traffic Ipadt Study Primrose School 01 Edina
. G
The 85 l percentile peak period parking demand for a day care center is
3.70 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. Using this
parking rate results in needing 43 parking stalls for an 11,500 square foot
day care center. Of the 557 parking spaces supplied on site, 266 spaces
would be expected to be occupied if the site's buildings are fully leased
and 65 spaces would be expected to be eliminated to make room for the
day care center. This leaves 226 parking spaces vacant to be used by the
day care center.
4. Conclusions and Recommendations
If the existing One Corporate Circle buildings were fully occupied, it is anticipated
266 of the 557 parking spaces would be filled with vehicles during the peak
parking period. The proposed day care center footprint will eliminate 65 parking
stalls leaving the office building's associated peak parking with 226 vacant
parking stalls. At the day care center's peak parking period, which is
conservatively being combined to coincide with the office building's peak, the day
care center will need 43 parking stalls.
Based on the analyses in this study, it is expected peak parking demand would
occupy 309 of the 492 available parking stalls after the proposed 11,500 square
foot day care center is built on the site. There will continue to be ample parking
on the One Corporate Circle site after the day care center is fully operational.

Director of Planning
INFORMATION & BACKGROUND
Project Description
Refined, LLC is proposing to subdivide the property at 6109 Oaklawn Avenue
into two lots. (See property location on pages Al—A5.) The existing home would
be torn down, and two new homes built on the new lots. (See applicant narrative
and plans on pages A6—A11.) To accommodate the request the following is
required:
1. A subdivision;
2. Lot width variances from 75 feet to 50 feet for each lot; and
3. Lot area variances from 9,000 square feet to 6,699 and 6,693 square
feet.
Both lots would gain access off Oaklawn Avenue. Within this neighborhood, the
median lot area is 6,701 square feet, median lot depth is 133 feet, and the
median lot width is 50 feet. (See attached median calculations on page Al 2.) The
new lots would meet the median width and depth, but would be just short of the
median area.
Surrounding Land Uses
The lots on all sides of the subject properties are zoned and guided low-
density residential.
Existing Site Features
The existing site contains a single-family home and detached garage. (See
pages A4 and A5.) Both the home and garage would be removed.

* Variance Required
Grading/Drainage and Utilities
The city engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and found them generally
acceptable. (See memo from the city engineer on page A15.) All storm water
from the proposed homes, driveways, and westerly half of the lots shall drain
to Oaklawn. All sump pump drains shall drain into the existing sump pump
drain tile along Oaklawn Avenue. Any disturbance to the roadway caused by
the construction of the new homes must be repaired, The detailed grading
plans would be reviewed by the city engineer at the time of a building permit
application. A construction management plan will be required for the
construction of the new homes. Specific hook-up locations would be reviewed
at the time of a building permit for each lot. A Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District permit would also be required.
Primary issue
• Are the findings for a variance met?
Yes. Staff believes that the findings for a Variance are met with this proposal.
Per state law and the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted
unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical
difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is
reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal meets the
variance standards, when applying the three conditions:
a) Will the proposal relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable
use from complying with the ordinance requirements?

Primary issue
• Are the findings for a variance met?
Yes. Staff believes that the findings for a Variance are met with this proposal.
Per state law and the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted
unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical
difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is
reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal meets the
variance standards, when applying the three conditions:
a) Will the proposal relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable
use from complying with the ordinance requirements?
2
Yes. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land
cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the
applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the
code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may
include functional and aesthetic concerns.
The practical difficulty is due to the fact that the subject property is double the
size of all lots on this block. This area was originally plated with 50 -foot lots,
including the subject property. (See page A13.)
The requested variances to split this lot are reasonable in the context of the
immediate neighborhood. The existing lot is both larger and wider than other
properties in the immediate area. The proposed subdivision would result in
two lots more characteristic of the neighborhood and original plat. If the
variances were denied, the applicant would be denied a subdivision of his
property of which the lots would be the same as existing lots in the area.
As demonstrated on page Al2, the median lot size in this neighborhood is 50
feet wide, 133 feet deep and 6,701 square feet in size. The proposed lots
would be 50 feet wide, 133 feet deep and 6,699 and 6,693 square feet in size,
which nearly meet the medians.
The City of Edina has also granted similar variances within this area. In 2009,
a similar subdivision and variances were granted at 5920 and 5924 Oaklawn,
and in 2011 at 5829 Brookview Avenue. To deny the subject variances would
deny the applicant a subdivision that has been recently approved by the City.
(See approved subdivisions on page A14.)
b) There are circumstances that are unique to the properly, not common
to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-created?
The condition of this oversized lot is generally unique to Oaklawn Avenue.
The vast majority of the lots on Oaklawn are 50 feet wide and 6,700 square
feet in size. The circumstance of the oversized lot was not created by the
applicant.
c) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
No. The proposed improvements requested by the variance would not alter
the essential character of the neighborhood. The neighborhood includes a
vast majority of single-family homes on 50 -foot lots as proposed.
Staff Recommendation
Recommend that the City Council approve the proposed two lot subdivision of
6109 Oaklawn Avenue and the lot width variances from 75 feet to 50 feet for
each lot, and lot area variances from 9,000 square feet to 6,699 and 6,693
square feet. Approval is based on the following findings:
1. Except for the variances, the proposal meets the required standards and
ordinance for a subdivision.
2. The subdivision would meet the neighborhood medians for lot width and
depth and nearly meet the median area.
3. The proposal would restore the property back to the form of the original
plat, which included two lots.
4. The proposal meets the required standards for a variance, because:
a. There is a unique hardship to the property caused by the existing
size of the property which is two times the size of every lot on the
block.
b. The requested variances are reasonable in the context of the
immediate neighborhood. The existing lot is both larger and wider
than most properties in the area, including nearly every lot on the
block. The proposed subdivision would result in two lots more
characteristic of the neighborhood.
C. The proposed lots would be the same size as the lots were
originally platted.
d. The variances would meet the intent of the ordinance because the
proposed lots are of similar size to others in the neighborhood.
e. if the variances were denied, the applicant would be denied a use
of his property, a 50 -foot wide lot, which is common to the area. In
addition, the applicant would be denied a subdivision with variances
that has been previously approved by the City in two instances in
the last two years.
Approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. The City must approve the final plat within one year of preliminary
approval or receive a written application for a time extension or the
preliminary approval will be void.
4
2. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the following items must be
submitted:
a. Submit evidence of Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval.
The City may require revisions to the preliminary plat to meet the
district's requirements.
b. A curb -cut permit must be obtained from the Edina engineering

61019 Oaklawn Avenue -Subdivision
Description of Intended Use
REFINED, LLC is a residential homebuilding firm specializing in new home construction in existing neighborhoods. The
majority of our business is done within the City of Edina, where we enjoy a strong working relationship with the City and
our neighbors.
REFINED's intentions are to return the subject property to the originally platted/intended use (two home -sites) via the
subdivision process. When completed, these two sites will again match all the other properties on the block. We then
intend to build two new homes per City ordinances. REFINED plans to be the General Contractor for both of the new
homes; it is not our goal to receive subdivision approval and then sell the lots to another builder for construction.
Currently our plan is to find two clients that would like to build custom homes for their families; we have no current plans
to build the homes on "Spec".
We believe the City should approve this request for the following reasons:
1. All of the homes on the 6100 block of Oaklawn Avenue are on similar size lots to our proposal.
2. The subdivision shall in no way diminish the natural streetscape of the Oaklawn Avenue or negatively change the overall
feel of the neighborhood as a whole. Conversely, without subdivision, a single new home could be built within current
City ordinances, and if constructed it could be much larger than neighboring homes and therefore would result in a
diminished streetscape and would likely affect the overall neighborhood aesthetic.
3. The vast majority of the homes in the neighborhood are built on lots sized very similar to our request.
4. The City has recently approved a similar subdivision request at 5920/5924 Oaklawn Avenue.
5. The City has recently approved a similar subdivision request at 5829 Brookview Avenue.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
CITY OF EDINA
DATE: January 5, 2012
TO: Cary Teague - City Planner
FROM: Wayne Houle - Director of Public Works / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Annabelle Addition - Preliminary Plat
6109 Oaklawn Avenue
Engineering has reviewed the plans for the above stated project and offer the following
comments:
I . A Minnehaha Creek Watershed permit will be required.
2. All storm water from the proposed homes, driveways, and westerly half of the lots shall
drain to Oaklawn Avenue. All sump pump drains shall drain into the existing sump
pump drain the along Oaklawn Avenue.
3. Any disturbance to the roadway shall be repaired by replacing the asphalt pavement
from curb -to -curb and the from saw -cut to saw -cut.
A. Staff recommends that this site incorporate a construction management plan for the
construction of the homes.
This is the first review of these plans. Staff will require a more detail review of the plans that are
submitted for building permits. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this
first review.
Thanks

Attachments: image001.png
Andy- Thank you for your time on the phone. My husband and I are the
homeowners at 5117 Oaklawn. We wanted to voice Qur aRRrovall for the
subdivision of the two lots at 5109 Qaklawn. We and many of our neighbors have
been doing a lot of renovating and updating on our homes. We would like to see
the neighborhood continue to be revitalized. There is currently a rental house in
between us and the lots you are buying. We would not like to see additional
rental homes or any vacated homes on the block. It is our hope that you plan to
build two reasonable sized (50 ft lots) owner occupied homes. We know of
several young couples looking in the area for homes in the Edina school district.
Sincerely,
Jenny Williams Nelson

Director of Planning
INFORMATION & BACKGROUND
Project Description
Mr. James Zavoral is requesting to shift the existing lot lines that divide his property at
5239 Highwood Drive, from 6008 and 6000 Pine Grove Road. (See the property
location on pages Al—A5.)
There is no new lot being created with the request, it is simply a shift in the rear lot lines
to sell land to the adjacent property owners. The 6000 Pine Grove Road lot would gain
additional land on Mirror Lake. The 5239 Highwood Drive lot would no longer own
property abutting Mirror Lake, but would retain a private easement for access to the
lake. The drainage and utility easement adjacent to Mirror Lake would remain. (See the
proposed lot divison on pages A6—A8.)
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding land uses are all single-family homes zoned and guided low-
density residential. (See pages A3—A5.)
Existing Site Features
Each lot contains a single-family residential home. There are no alterations
planned for any of the homes. The three lots are generally oversized compared to
other lots in the neighborhood. Total land area of the three lots is 184,853 square
feet or 4.2 acres.
Planning
Guide Plan designation: Low-density residential
Zoning: R-1, Single-family residential
Primary Issue
Is the proposed lot division reasonable?
Yes. The resulting lot fine shift does not create an additional lot. The three lots are all
oversized when compared to the neighborhood. (See page A2.) As demonstrated
below, with the exception of the 6008 Pine Grove lot width, the proposed lots would still
meet the minimum lot size requirements in the R-1 Zoning District. The lot width of 6008
Pine Grove is an existing nonconforming condition, and would not change as a result of
the lot division.

Any new construction on these new lots would be subject to conformance with all of the
City's rules and regulations regarding lot coverage, building height, setbacks and curb
cuts.
Staff Recommendation
Recommend that the City Council approve the Lot Division of 6239 Highwood Drive,
6008 Pine Grove Road and 6000 Pine Grove Road.
Approval is subject to the following findings:.
1. The existing and proposed lots meet all minimum lot size requirements.
2. The three lots involved in the lot division are larger than most lots within the
neighborhood.
Approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. All building activity on either lot must comply with all minimum zoning ordinance
standards.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

Meeting Date
Agenda #
Kris Aaker

B-11-14
Assistant Planner
Recommended Action: Approve the variances as requested.
Project Description:
A 2 foot side yard setback variance to allow a 3 foot side yard setback and
a 5.7 foot rear yard setback variance to allow a 19.3 foot rear yard setback
to expand the existing garage width and depth for property
located at 5805 Johnson Drive for William and Denise Denison.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The subject property, is located on the east side of Johnson Drive and south
of Grove Street consisting of a one and one half story home with an attached
garage, see attached Exhibit A.1 — A. 2, site location maps. The home was built
in 1941 and has had few improvements made to it over the years, see Exhibit 13.1
— B. 3, photos of the subject home and neighbors to the north and south.
The applicant is proposing to add onto the existing home to include a family
room, master bedroom, laundry with an office above on the south side of the
home and a garage expansion to the north side of the home. All of the
improvements conform to the ordinance requirements with the exception of the
garage addition towards the north and south lot lines.
The garage is proposed to be located 3 feet from the north side lot
line and 19.3 feet from the easterly rear lot line. The zoning ordinance requires a
minimum 5 foot side yard setback and a 25 foot rear yard setback for an attached
garage. The homeowner would like to expand the existing narrow garage width
from 19.6 feet to 21.6 feet and add 10 feet onto the depth of the garage for
additional storage and shop area see Exhibit C.1 — C. 9, site survey, site plan,
floor plans and elevations and photos provided by the applicant.
The site is .29 acres, which is a comfortable lot size, however, is at the minimum
lot depth of 120 feet. The home was built much farther back on the lot than
neighboring homes leaving a shallow rear yard for expansion. The homes on
either side of the subject home are closer to the front lot line and were not
setback as deep from the front lot line. It should be noted that the garage on the
subject home is even farther back and deeper into the rear yard than the main
portion of the house. The house was also built much closer to the north lot line
leaving no opportunity to expand garage width without the benefit of a variance.
The original placement of the house and garage, (farther back on the tot and
closer to the north lot line), make planning a garage expansion difficult for the
property.

* Variance Required
Primary Issues
• Is the proposed development reasonable for this site?
Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons:
1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-1, Single Dwelling Unit Zoning
District and complies with all requirements with the exception of north side
yard and rear yard setback.
2. The additions are appropriate in size and scale for the lot and the
improvements will enhance the property and not detract from the
neighbors or neighborhood. The most impacted neighbor to the north
supports the requested variances as proposed.
3. The improvements will provide a reasonable use of the site and allow
for a standard garage. Currently the garage is too narrow to be considered
a two car garage. Generally the Planning Commission has been
supportive of variances to improve garages to enclose two cars. Variances
that have been granted have allowed a side yard setback of no closer than
3 feet. The ordinance requires a minimum two car garage per single
dwelling unit. The existing width of the garage is substandard. The
variance would allow a standard garage width.
4. The additions are minimal and reasonable given the deep front yard
setback and minimal side and rear yard area available for expansion.
Spacing between the garage sidewall and the home to the north will be
16.5 feet; spacing between the back wall of the garage and the home to
the east will be approximately 80 feet.
• Is the proposed variance justified?
Yes. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is
found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties
in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As
demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance
standards, when applying the three conditions:
Section 850.0.Subd., requires the following findings for approval of a
variance:
3
Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions
must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will,
1) Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from
complying with ordinance requirements.
Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land
cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the
applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with
the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties"
may include functional and aesthetic concerns.
Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable and that the existing
placement of the house and location of existing windows and doors
provide practical difficulties in designing a reasonable addition to the
garage.
2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not
common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-
created?
Yes. The unique circumstances are the original placement of the home far
back and closer north on the lot and the existing floor plan with windows
and doors that would be obstructed if the garage were to be expanded
towards the street.
3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
No. The proposed garage addition will not alter the essential character of
the neighborhood. The addition will add just 2 feet to the width of the
garage and will not be as close to the side lot line as an existing shed
attached to the north side of the garage. The rear yard variance requested
will have minimal if any impact on the property to the east. The elevation
of the garage as viewed from the front street will be virtually identical to
what is currently present on-site.
The neighbor to the north has submitted a letter requesting that the
garage addition extend eastward instead of towards the front yard to
preserve views from windows on the south side of their home.
4
Staff Recommendation
Recommend that the Planning Commission approve the variances.
Approval is based on the following findings:
1) With the exception of the variances requested, the proposal would meet
the required standards and ordinances for the R-1, Single Dwelling Unit
District.
2) The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance, because:
a. The proposed use of the property is reasonable; as it is a minimal
encroachment into the side and rear yard as is needed for the addition.
b. The practical difficulties in adding onto the home are as a result of the
original house placement closer to the north lot line and nearer to the
back/easterly lot line and given the existing floor plan.
Approval of the variance is subject to the following conditions:
1) Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in
substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the
conditions below:
Survey date stamped: December 8, 2011.
Building plans/ elevations date stamped: December 8, 2011.

Dear Kris,
We are requesting a variance to move the North & East Garage walls at 5805 Johnson Dr for the following reasons listed
below. The proposed design will encroach into the setback area. The new design allows for additional storage and shop
area and also allows for an increased width to accommodate a more functional parking design.
1. The addition allows the driveway area to remain as is. If the addition were moved towards the West it would
reduce parking space for guests forcing them to utilize street parking.
2. The proposed addition allows the side door access for the house to remain. Moving towards the West would
eliminate the side door.
3. New design allows the (North) neighbor to keep the natural light and view from the South West.
4. Widening the garage or movement to the North, allows for an acceptable garage door width. The existing garage
door does not allow exiting from the passenger side of the vehicle parked in North of garage.
S. The proposed addition would eliminate the need for a separate shed/ building for seasonal equipment. This
separate building would reduce the neighbor's SE view.
Sincerely,
Ryan Hochbrunn

Dear City Hall,
We, William and Patricia Hansen, would agree to a variance for the property of 5805 Johnson Drive.
William and Denise Denison would like to do a variance for their garage of three feet (north) on the
side of the garage and ten feet (east) off the back of the garage. Five of the ten feet would need the
variance.
We would much rather see the remodel go toward the back of the property line versus forward as it
would obscure the view from the window on the south side of our house.
Sincerely,
William C Hansen
