Next Meeting of the Edina Planning Commission: February 22, 2012 9 0 0 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Cary Teague February 8, 2012 2012.002.12a Director of Planning INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Project Description Raun Nelson and Carol & Frank Sidell are requesting to shift the existing lot line that divides their properties at 4236 Lynn Avenue. (See the property location on pages Al— A4.) 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 owner. (See the proposed lot divison on pages A5— A6.) Parcel A, owned by Carol & Frank Sidell, would gain additional land to be similar in depth to the lots also owned by Carol & Frank Sidell, to the north and south. (See page A7.) The 4236 Lynn Avenue lot would be smaller in size, but similar in depth to the lots to the north and south. (See pages A6—A7.) Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses are all single-family homes zoned and guided low- density residential. (See pages A3—A4.) Existing Site Features The 4236 Lynn lot contains a single-family residential home with an attached garage, a detached shed and gazebo. There are no alterations planned for the home at this time. Parcel A is vacant. (See page A4.) All of the properties to the north and south of Parcel A are owned by Carol & Frank Sidell. (See page A7.) Access to and from Parcel A would be from Little Street or Morningside Road. (See page A7.) 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 line shift does not create an additional lot. These lots are oversized compared to the neighborhood. (See page A3.) As demonstrated below, the proposed lots would still meet the minimum lot size requirements in the R-1 Zoning District. Minimum Lot Requirements Existing Parcel A Existing Parcel B Proposed Parcel A Proposed Parcel B Lot Area —10,052 s.f. 17,920 s.f. 31,506 s.f. 29,420 s.f. 20,006 s.f. Lot Width — 50 feet 133 feet 100 feet 133 feet 100 feet Lot Depth —180 feet 934 feet' 286 feet 220 feet 200 feet "existing nonconforming condition 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 4236 Lynn Avenue and Parcel A as submitted on the proposed lot division date stamped January 30, 2011. Approval is subject to the following findings: The existing and proposed lots meet all minimum lot size requirements. 2. The two lots involved in the lot division are larger than most lots within the neighborhood. Approval is subject to the following conditions: All building activity on either lot must comply with all minimum zoning ordinance standards.

O e fi- PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Cary Teague February 8, 2012 2011-011.11a Director of Planning INFORMATION/BACKGROUND Project Description FE 70, LLC is proposing to tear down the existing gas station at 6996 France Avenue and re -build an 8,260 square foot office/retail building. (See property location and surrounding land uses on pages Al—Aft.) The building would include a 3,000 square foot retail store (Vitamin Shop) and a 5,260 square foot financial office. (See the applicant's narrative, building rendering and plans on pages Al 1—A22; and the traffic and parking study on pages A30-A40a.) To accommodate this proposed redevelopment, the following is requested: Final Rezoning from PCD -4, Planned Commercial District to PUD, Planned Unit Development; A Zoning Ordinance Amendment that establishes the PUD, Zoning District; and )- Final Development Plan. The City Council approved Preliminary Rezoning from PCD -4, Planned Commercial District to PUD, Planned Unit Development, and Preliminary Development plan for this project on December 6, 2011. (See approved preliminary plans on pages A23—A25, and the minutes from the meeting on pages A52 --A55.) The footprint of the building and the parking arrangement has not changed from the preliminary approval. The Zoning Ordinance Amendment that would accommodate the requested rezoning to PUD, Planned Unit Development can be found on the attached pages A7 --A10.) SUPPORTING INFORMATION Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Southdale Galleria Offices, zoned PCD -3, Planned Commercial District and guided Office/Residential. Easterly: France Avenue and the Galleria; zoned PCD -3, Planned Commercial District and guided CAC, Community Activity Center. Southerly: 70th Street and a BP Gas Station; zoned PCD -4, Planned Commercial District and guided Office/Residential. Westerly: Southdale Pet Hospital; zoned PCD -3, Planned Commercial District and guided Office/Residential, Existing Site Features The subject property is 27,702 square feet in size, is relatively flat and contains a full service gas station. (See pages A3—A6.) Planning Guide Plan designation: Office/Residential (See pages A27 A29.) The property is located within and area designated as a potential area of change. (See page A27.) During the Sketch Plan review of this project, the City Council determined that a Small Area Plan would not be necessary prior to redevelopment of this site. (See page A60.) Zoning: PCDA Planned Commercial District (See page A26.) Parking Based on the proposal for 3,000 square feet of retail space and 5,260 square feet of office space, 47 parking stalls would be required by the City Zoning Ordinance. The site plan demonstrates 34 parking stalls available. However, the parking study demonstrates that these uses would generate the need for 29 parking stalls. (See page A38 of the parking study.) Therefore, 34 parking stalls would support 3,000 square feet of retail space and 5,260 square feet of office space. However if the retail uses become a bank, coffee shop, or bakery/bagel shop, the parking would not be adequate. (See page A37,) Therefore, those uses should not be allowed on this site, Additionally, if the office space were turned into retail, the mezzanine would have to be converted into storage. In doing so, that would turn the building back to a 6,600 square foot building. If the building were entirely occupied with general office uses, the site would contain adequate parking; however if the building were entirely occupied by medical offices, the site would not contain adequate 0) parking. (See attached memo from WSB on page A40a.) Based on that WSB memorandum dated February 3, 2012, only a 7,950 square foot medical office could be supported by the site's 34 parking stalls. Therefore a portion of the mezzanine could be utilized by medical office space. A restriction on the size of medical offices should therefore be added into the PUD Ordinance requirements. Site Circulation Access to the site would be from France Avenue and 701h Street. Exit from the site would be onto 701h Street only. (See page Al 8.) There would be surface parking behind the building. Loading to the building would take place in the parking lot during off peak hours. A walking path would be located around the building and along France and 701h Street. (See page A19.) The city engineer and fire marshal have reviewed the proposed site circulation plans and found them to be acceptable. Landscaping The existing site contains virtually no landscaping or green space. There is one tree existing in the northwest corner of the site. This tree would remain. The applicant is proposing 15 new overstory trees. In addition, a full complement of understory landscaping would be provided around the building and green space added along all four sides. This would all be an improvement over the existing conditions on the site. (See page A19.) The property owner to the north has expressed a willingness to remove the pine trees on their property near the north lot line. (See attached emails on pages A64—A65.) The applicant believes that these trees would not be impacted during construction of the new building Grading/Drainage/Utilities The city engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and found them to be acceptable subject to the comments and conditions outlined on the attached page A63. A developer's agreement would be required for the construction of the proposed sidewalks within the right-of-way. The fire marshal reviewed the proposed plans and is requiring that a fire hydrant be installed on the northeast corner of the property. It should be located on the north side of the proposed driveway entrance on the west side of the sidewalk. (See page A62.) This shall be made a condition of approval. 3 Any approvals of this project would be subject to review and approval of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, as they are the City's review authority over the grading of the site. Building/Building Material The proposal is for a stone building with large windows. (See rendering on pages A15 -A16.) The applicant will have a materials board for the Planning Commission to review at the Planning Commission meeting. The City's chief building official has reviewed the plans and provided provide comments on page A61. These comments and conditions shall be made a condition of approval. A construction management plan must also be submitted subject to staff approval. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Per Section 850.04. Subd. 4 D provides the following regulations for a PUD: ?. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the PUD District is to provide comprehensive procedures and standards intended to allow more creativity and flexibility in site plan design than would be possible under a conventional zoning district. The decision to zone property to PUD is a public policy decision for the City Council to make in its legislative capacity. The purpose and intent of a PUD is to include most or all of the following: a. provide for the establishment of PUD (planned unit development) zoning districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a development pattern that is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; b. promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and general welfare of the City; c. provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in order to improve site design and operation, while at the same time incorporate design elements that exceed the City's standards to offset the effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include: sustainable design, greater utilization of new technologies in building design, special construction materials, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management, pedestrian oriented design, and podium height at a street or transition to residential neighborhoods, parks or other sensitive uses; 4 d. ensure high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned; e. maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities; L preserve and enhance site characteristics including natural features, wetland protection, trees, open space, scenic views, and screening; g. allow for mixing of land uses within a development; h. encourage a variety of housing types including affordable housing; and L ensure the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses. The proposal would meet the purpose and intent of the PUD, as most of the above criteria would be met, The site is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for "Office Residential -- OR," which allows for limited retail. The applicant is proposing to use the site for office with limited retail. Through the PUD rezoning, the City has the ability to specifically limit the uses on the site to be consistent with limited retail uses per the Comprehensive Plan, and to ensure that the uses can be supported by the parking provided. The proposed vitamin store and financial office uses are more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, than the existing gasoline service station. The proposal would create a more efficient and creative use of the property. The building would be pulled up close to the street, with sidewalks in front, and separated from the street by green space to promote a more walkable environment. Landscaping and patios are also proposed in front, with store fronts opening toward France Avenue. Traffic generated from the site would be less than the existing gas station site. The proposed building would be a high quality stone and glass building. The site circulation would be improved with a right -in only access on France Avenue, the elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection and narrowing the curb cut further to the west. The applicant will also remediate contaminated soils that exist on the site today from the service station. As demonstrated on page 9 of this report, the proposal meets several goals and policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. 5 2. Applicability/Criteria a. Uses. Ali permitted uses, permitted accessory uses, conditional uses, and uses allowed by administrative permit contained in the various zoning districts defined in Section 850 of this Title shall be treated as potentially allowable uses within a PUD district, provided they would be allowable on the site under the Comprehensive Plan. Property currently zoned R-1, R-2 and PRD -1 shall not be eligible for a PUD. Because of the Comprehensive Plan designation of"limited retail" and the potential for a parking shortage depending on future use, the proposal should be limited to uses that will not create parking problems. (See page A37 of the parking study.) The Zoning Ordinance amendment on pages A7—A10 lists the uses that would be allowed on this site. The uses allowed are based on the traffic and parking analysis done by WSB and Associates on pages A30—A40a. b. Eligibility Standards. To be eligible for a PUD district, all development should be in compliance with the following., i. where the site of a proposed PUD is designated for more than one (1) land use in the Comprehensive Plan, the City may require that the PUD include all the land uses so designated or such combination of the designated uses as the City Council shall deem appropriate to achieve the purposes of this ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan; The site is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for "Office Residential — OR," which allows for limited retail. Because of that land use designation, uses allowed within the PCD -1 District would be appropriate, as the PCD -1 is the City's least intensive commercial zoning district. (See pages A41 --A42 for a list of uses allowed within the PCD -1 District.) Per the preliminary approval, the applicant is agreeable to those uses. Uses were added as part of the preliminary approval including; catering, clothing store over 2,500 s.f., department store, dry goods, electrical and appliance store, furniture store, office supplies, paint and wallpaper, and sporting goods. Uses that should not be allowed, based on the parking study, would be a bank, coffee shop or a bakery/bagel shop. (See page 37 of the parking study.) on As mentioned above, there is concern over the number of parking spaces provided on the site. According to the parking study, the parking that is proposed would support the initially proposed uses. However, should these uses change in the future; the site could be short parked, depending on the new use. Therefore, as a condition of a change in use, such as the office space turning to retail, the mezzanine would have to be converted to storage area, so the use would meet the parking requirements. If the site were entirely occupied with general office uses, the site would contain adequate parking; however if it were entirely occupied by medical office, the site would not contain adequate parking. (See attached memo from WSB on page A40a.) Based on the WSB memorandum dated February 3, 2012, only a 7,950 square foot medical office could be supported by the site's 34 parking stalls. (See page A40a.)Therefore a portion of the mezzanine could be utilized by medical office space. Again, these provisions would be written into the Ordinance that rezones the site PUD, and would be adopted into the City's Zoning Ordinance. (See draft of the Ordinance on pages A7 -A10.) A any PUD which involves a single land use type or housing type may be permitted provided that it is otherwise consistent with the objectives of this ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan; As mentioned above, the proposed uses would be office and limited retail, consistent with Comprehensive Plan. A single land use on the site would meet the limited retail use or office designation of the Comprehensive Plan. iii. permitted densities may be specifically stated in the appropriate planned development designation and shall be in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan; and Parking requirements would limit the uses that would be allowed on the site. If approved by the City, the building would be limited in size; and the use of the building would be limited by the number of parking spaces on the site. The building would not be allowed to be entirely occupied with 8,260 square feet of retail. Should the office space turn into retail, the mezzanine would have to be turned into storage. 7 iv, the setback regulation, building coverage and floor area ratio of the most closely related conventional zoning district shall be considered presumptively appropriate, but may be departed from to accomplish the purpose and intent described in #1 above. The following page shows a compliance table demonstrating how the proposed new building would comply with the PCD -1 Zoning Ordinance Standards. Should the City decide to rezone these sites to PUD, the proposed setbacks, height of the building and number of parking stalls would become the standards for the lots. Please note that several of the City Standards are not met under conventional zoning. However, by relaxing these standards, the purpose and intent, as described in #1 above would be met. The site layout would be improved by bringing the building up to the street, providing front door entries toward the street, and including sidewalks to encourage a more pedestrian friendly environment along the street. The design of the building is of a high quality stone with large windows. The building is consistent with the small scale buildings on this block. The development would incorporate improved landscaping and green space, a decrease in impervious coverage, and an infiltration area. The applicant will also be cleaning up contaminated soils on the site through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Traffic would be improved in the area with a right -in only access on France Avenue, the elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection and narrowing the curb cut further to the west. Compliance Table PRIMARY ISSUES/STAFF RECOMMENDATION Primary Issues • Is the proposed development reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for the following reasons: The proposed uses would fit in to the neighborhood. As mentioned, this site is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for "Office Residential — OR," which allows for limited retail. The applicant is proposing to use the site for office with limited retail. Through the PUD rezoning, the City has the ability to specifically limit the uses on the site to be consistent with limited retail uses per the Comprehensive Plan, and to ensure that the uses can be supported by the parking provided. 2. The building is relatively small and in scale with building within this area on the west side of France. 3. The existing roadways would support the project. WSB conducted a traffic impact study based on the proposed development, and concluded that the 9 City Standard (PCD -1) Proposed PUD Building Setbacks Front - France Avenue 35 feet 14 feet Side Street - South 35 feet 9 feet Side - North 25 feet 40 feet Rear - West 25 feet 70 feet Parkin[a Lot Setbacks Front - France Avenue 20 feet 10 feet Front - 701h Street 20 feet 5 feet Side - North & West 10 feet 5 feet Building Height Four Stories One Story + Mezzanine Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) 1000k 37% Lot size = 22,210 s.f.

Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for the following reasons: The proposed uses would fit in to the neighborhood. As mentioned, this site is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for "Office Residential — OR," which allows for limited retail. The applicant is proposing to use the site for office with limited retail. Through the PUD rezoning, the City has the ability to specifically limit the uses on the site to be consistent with limited retail uses per the Comprehensive Plan, and to ensure that the uses can be supported by the parking provided. 2. The building is relatively small and in scale with building within this area on the west side of France. 3. The existing roadways would support the project. WSB conducted a traffic impact study based on the proposed development, and concluded that the 9 traffic generated from the project would be less than the current use on the site. (See traffic study on pages A30—A40a.) 4. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan: a. Building Placement and Design. Where appropriate, building facades should form a consistent street wall that helps to define the street and enhance the pedestrian environment. On existing auto -oriented development sites, encourage placement of liner buildings close to the street to encourage pedestrian movement. • Locate prominent buildings to visually define corners and screen parking lots. • Locate building entries and storefronts to face the primary street, in addition to any entries oriented towards parking areas. • Encourage storefront design of mixed-use buildings at ground floor level, with windows and doors along at least 50% of the front fagade. • Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings, rather than between buildings and the street. b. Movement Patterns. • Provide sidewalks along primary streets and connections to adjacent neighborhoods along secondary streets or walkways. • Limit driveway access from primary streets while encouraging access from secondary streets. • Provide pedestrian amenities, such as wide sidewalks, street trees, pedestrian -scale lighting, and street furnishings (benches, trash receptacles, etc.) • A Pedestrian -Friendly Environment. Improving the auto -oriented design pattern discussed above under "Issues" will call for guidelines that change the relationship between parking, pedestrian movement and building placement. c. Appropriate Parking Standards. Mixed use developments often produce an internal capture rate. This refers to residents and workers who obtain goods and services from within the development without making additional vehicle trips.*Parking ratios for mixed use development should reflect the internal capture rate and the shared parking opportunities this type of development offers. d. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of city infrastructure and that complement area, neighborhood, and/or corridor context and character. 10 5. The proposed plans are the same as the plans that were approved in the Preliminary Rezoning and Preliminary Site Plan. • Is the PUD Zoning District appropriate for the site? Yes. Staff believes that the PUD is appropriate for the site. As highlighted above on pages 4-8, the proposal meets the City's criteria for PUD zoning. In summary the PUD zoning would: 1. Ensure that the building proposed would be the only building built on the site, unless an amendment to the PUD is approved by City Council. 2. Limit the uses allowed on the site to ensure that there would be adequate parking. The uses allowed would be specifically listed in a PUD Ordinance that would be reviewed and approved as part of the Final Development Plan stage of the project. 3. Provide for a more creative site design, consistent with goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan, Staff Recommendation Final Rezoning to PUD & Final Development Plan Recommend that the City Council approve the Final Rezoning from PCDA Planned Commercial District to PUD, Planned Unit Development District; adoption of the Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ordinance to establish the PUD Zoning District; and Final Development Plan to construct an 8,260 square foot retailloffice building at 6996 France Avenue for FE70, LLC. Approval is subject to the following findings: 1. The proposed land uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposal is consistent with the approved Preliminary Rezoning and Preliminary Development Plan. 3. The site layout would be an improvement over a site layout required by standard zoning; the building is brought up to the street, provides front door entries toward the street, includes sidewalks to encourage a more pedestrian friendly environment along the street. 4. The design of the building is of a high quality stone with large windows. The building is consistent with the small scale buildings on this block. 5. The development would incorporate improved landscaping and green space, a decrease in impervious coverage, and an infiltration area. 6. The contaminated soils on the site would be cleaned up. 7. Traffic would be improved in the area with a right -in only access on France Avenue, the elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection and narrowing the curb cut further to the west. 8. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; a. Building Placement and Design. Where appropriate, building facades should form a consistent street wall that helps to define the street and enhance the pedestrian environment. On existing auto -oriented development sites, encourage placement of liner buildings close to the street to encourage pedestrian movement. • Locate prominent buildings to visually define corners and screen parking lots. • Locate building entries and storefronts to face the primary street, in addition to any entries oriented towards parking areas. • Encourage storefront design of mixed-use buildings at ground floor level, with windows and doors along at least 50% of the front fagade. • Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings, rather than between buildings and the street. b.

Improving the auto -oriented design pattern discussed above under "Issues" will call for guidelines that change the relationship between parking, pedestrian movement and building placement. 12 c. Appropriate Parking Standards. Mixed use developments often produce an internal capture rate. This refers to residents and workers who obtain goods and services from within the development without making additional vehicle trips. Parking ratios for mixed use development should reflect the internal capture rate and the shared parking opportunities this type of development offers. d. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of city infrastructure and that complement area, neighborhood, and/or corridor context and character. Final approval 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: • Site plan date stamped January 6, 2012. • Grading plan date stamped January 6, 2012. • Landscaping plan date stamped January 6, 2012. • Building elevations date stamped January 6, 2012, 2) Prior the issuance of a building permit, the following must be submitted: a. A final landscape plan, subject to staff approval. Additionally, a performance bond, letter -of -credit, or cash deposit must be submitted for one and one-half times the cost amount for completing the required landscaping, screening, or erosion control measures. b. A construction management plan. 3) The property owner is responsible for replacing any required landscaping that dies. 4) Submit a copy of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit. The City may require revisions to the approved plans to meet the district's requirements. 5) Compliance with the conditions required by the chief building official in his memo dated January 10, 2012. 6) Compliance with the conditions required by the city engineer in his memo dated January February 3, 2012. 7) Compliance with the conditions required by the fire marshal in his memo dated January 28, 2012. 13 8) The contaminated soils must be cleaned up per the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, 9) Adoption and compliance with the PUD Ordinance for the site.

Current Use & Reasons for Redevelopment: The current use for the site is a gasoline filling station with vehicle repair, constructed in approximately 1960. The building is showing signs of its age. As with most filling stations, there are contaminants in the soil as established in a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment. In addition, the three curb cuts at this location — two on 70th street and one on France Avenue congest traffic flow in the area. Proposed Development: The project proposes a single -story retail and office building with associated parking and landscaping improvements. The building will be 8,260 square feet in size and be sited toward France Avenue and 701, Street with parking in the rear and side of the building. The developer has two tenants to fill the building. City & Neighborhood Betterment: The proposed retail development will benefit the City of Edina and the project's neighbors in the following ways: Create a pedestrian -friendly development with the building oriented to the street and sidewalk with parking to the side and rear of the building, supporting these initiatives from the Comprehensive Plan. Improve traffic in the area with a right -in only access on France Avenue, the elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection and narrowing the curb cut further to the west. A traffic study has been ordered to evaluate any impacts on the neighborhood, but our impression is that this will be negligible. • Remediate contaminated soils on site. • Create a greener and more environmentally friendly development improving storm water rates and quality through storm water retention and rain gardens or vegetated swales. • Replaces unsightly auto repair and filling station in a prominent location of the business district and main thoroughfares of the Southdale Area. • Provides small scale neighborhood serving retail and office uses. • Add new businesses to the Edina tax base. Rezoning and the Comprehensive Plan: The project proposes to change the zoning of the site from PGD -4 to a PUD based on the PCD -2. The change from PCD -4 to PCD -2 is a less dense district than the zoning of the adjoining properties to the north and west which are zoned PCD -3. The current comprehensive plan indicates OR use in this area with limited retail and the Greater Southdale Area Final Land Use and Transportation Study Report identifies the area as a Mixed Use area. Though limited, the west side of France Avenue does have some notable 41X 6996 France Avenue South — PUD Narrative 9/12/2011 retail uses in the near area including: Room & Board to the south and the Edina Diamond Center to the North. The proposed use is consistent with neighboring uses and reinforces the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan by siting the building to address the street, engage pedestrians, cyclists and transit users. Impact on Surrounding Properties: The new building will improve neighboring property values and improve the streetscape of the neighborhood. No negative impacts are anticipated. Land Use Impacts: The proposed project will yield an FAR. of .37 well within the FAR set forth in the PCD -1, which is 1.0. At the same time the use is dense enough Traffic Congestion or Traffic Hazards. The removal of the curb cuts and relocation of them away from the corner should improve traffic movement at the site for the neighborhood. f Conformance with Zoning Code: The PUD is proposing the following variances from the PCD -1 standard to be incorporated: Building Setbacks: • Front Setback -- Change from 35 feet to 14 feet • Side Street South — Change from 25 feet to 9 feet Parking Lot Setbacks: • Front —France Avenue —Change from 20 feet to 10 feet • Front — 701" Street — Change from 20 feet to 5 feet • Side - North & West — Change from 10 feet to 5 feet Provides a Proper Relationship between the Proposed Improvements, Existing Structures, Open Space and Natural Features: The building siting reflects the relationships of building and parking to the street, which enhances the pedestrian environment and improves the city's streetscape. The building size and scale are in proportion to adjacent properties for the size and scale of the site. The existing site was entirely paved. The proposed development incorporates landscaping and setbacks which are much friendlier to the natural environment by incorporating the infiltration of rain water, landscaping of the setbacks and decreasing the amount of impervious coverage of the site. Uses: In addition to the foregoing required considerations, the development is requesting the following uses be allowable in the PUD standards for the site. PCD -1 Uses will be allowed in addition to the additional uses from PCD -2 listed below: 1. Catering 2. Clothes stores exceeding 2,500 s.f. 3. Department Stores 4. Drygoods stores ,n 5. Electrical and Househould Appliance Stores fi 6. Furniture Stores 7. Office Supplies Storesm, 8. Paint and Wallpaper Stores 9. Personal Apparel Stores 10.

'Che site is located in Edina in the northwest quadrant of France Avenue and 70'h Street. The existing site contains a full service Sinclair gas station. Access to the existing site is currently provided at three (3) driveway locations; a right-in/right-out on France Avenue, a right-in/right-out and full movement on 70'h Street. The project location is shown on Figure 1. The proposed site redevelopment includes reconstruction of the site with a new retail/office building. Access to the site will be provided at two driveways; a right -in only on France Avenue and a full movement access on 70'h Street. The current plan provides 34 parking spaces for the site. Two redevelopment alternatives were considered for the traffic and parking analysis. Alternative 1 provides for a mix of 3,000 sf of retail and 5,260 sf of office, where Alternative 2 provides for 6,600 sf of only retail use. The proposed preferred alternative (Alternative 1) site plan is shown on Figure 2. The traffic impacts of the existing and anticipated development were evaluated at each site driveway as well as the primary impacted intersection at France Avenue and 70`l' Street. The parking demand was determined based on the proposed uses and City Code. The following sections of this report document the analysis and anticipated impacts of the proposed redevelopment. A36 6996 France Avenue Traffic and Parking Study City of Edina September 30, 2011 Page 2 of 9 Existing Traffic Characteristics 'I"he existing lane configuration and traffic control include: France Avenue at 700' Street — Traffic Control Signal SB France Ave approaching 701h St — one through / right, two through, one left NB France Ave approaching 70th St — one right, three through, one left EB 701h St approaching France Ave — one through / right, one through, one left WB 7CPSt approaching France Ave — one through / right, one through, one left Site driveways — Stop Sign Control France Avenue RI / RO access — one lane in, one lane out 70h Street RI / RQ access — one lane in, one lane out 701h Street full movement access — one lane in, one lane out AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts were conducted at each site driveway on September 15, 2011. Although 70'h Street was under construction west of Valley View Road at the time of the count, the total traffic entering and exiting the existing site should not have been greatly affected. Pervious counts conducted at France Avenue and 70'h Street were used in the analysis to determine the background traffic levels on the roadways. Site Trip Generation The estimated trip generation from the proposed redevelopment is shown below in Table 1. The trip generation rates used to estimate the site traffic are based on extensive surveys of the trip - generation rates for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers D-ip Generation Manual, 8th Edition. The table shows the total daily, AM.peak hour and PM. peak hour trip generation for the existing Gas Station use on the site and two proposed redevelopment alternatives. As indicated previously, traffic counts were conducted at each site driveway during the AM and PM peak hours. This was compared to a typical gas / service station trip generation from the ITE Trip Generation Manual. As shown below in Table 1 the potential trips that could be generated from the site is significantly higher than the actual counts. In order to took at the worst case condition, tile ITE site generated traffic was used for the existing no -build analysis. Two redevelopment alternatives were considered. Alternative I provides for a mix of retail and office on the site, where alternative 2 provides for only retail uses. Alternative I has a higher AM peak hour generation while Alternative 2 has a higher PM peak hour generation. However, in both cases the total traffic volume anticipated for the redevelopment will be less than what is currently generated by the site and significantly less than what a typical gastservice station could generate.

The Trip Distribution was assumed as follows: 30% north on France Avenue 40% south on France Avenue 20% west on 701" Street 10% east on 70th Street Traffic Operations Existing and forecasted traffic operations were evaluated for the intersection of France Avenue at 70th Street and each site driveway. This section describes the methodology used to assess the operations and provides a summary of traffic operations. �a 6996 France Avenue Traffic and Parking Study City of Edina September 30, 2011 Page 4 of 9 Analysis Methodology The traffic operations analysis is derived from established methodologies documented in the Highivay Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM). The HCM provides a series of analysis techniques that are used to evaluate traffic operations. Intersections are given a Level of Service (LOS) grade from "A" to "17" to describe the average amount of control delay per vehicle as defined in the HCM. The LOS is primarily a function of peak traffic hour turning movement volumes, intersection lane configuration, and the traffic controls at the intersection. LOS A is the best traffic operating condition, and drivers experience minimal delay at an intersection operating at that level. LOS E represents the condition where the intersection is at capacity, and some drivers may have to wait through more than one green phase to make it through an intersection controlled by traffic signals. LOS F represents a condition where there is more traffic than can be handled by the intersection, and many vehicle operators may have to wait through more than one green phase to make it through the intersection. At a stop sign -controlled intersection, LOS F would be characterized by exceptionally long vehicle queues on each approach at an all -way stop, or long queues and/or great difficulty in finding an acceptable gap for drivers on the minor legs at a through -street intersection. The LOS ranges for both signalized and tin -signalized intersections are shown in Table 2. The threshold LOS values for un -signalized intersections are slightly less than for signalized intersections. This variance was instituted because drivers' expectations at intersections differ with the type of traffic control. A given LOS can be altered by increasing (or decreasing) the number of lanes, changing traffic control arrangements, adjusting the timing at signalized intersections, or other lesser geometric improvements. LOS also changes as traffic volumes increase or decrease.

It should be noted that a LOS E or F might be acceptable or justified in those cases where a leg(s) or lane(s) has a very low traffic volume as compared to the volume on the other legs. For example, improving LOS on such low-volume legs by converting a two-way stop condition to an all -way stop, or adjusting timing at a signalized intersection, could result in a significant penalty for the many drivers on the major road while benefiting the few on the minor road. Also, geometric improvements on minor legs, such as additional lanes or longer tum lanes, could have limited positive effects and might be prohibitive in terms of benefit to cost. Although LOS A represents the best possible level of traffic flow, the cost to construct roadways and intersection to such a high standard often exceeds the benefit to the user. Funding availability might also lead to acceptance of intersection or roadway designs with a lower LOS. LOS D is generally accepted as the lowest acceptable level in urban areas. LOS C is often considered to be the desirable minimum level for rural areas. LOS D or E may be acceptable for limited durations or distances, or for very low-volume legs of some intersections. The LOS analysis was performed using Synchro/SimTraffic. • Synchro, a software package that implements Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies, was used to build each signalized intersection and provide an input database for turning -movement volumes, lane geometries, and signal design and timing characteristics. In addition, Synchro was used to optimize signal timing parameters for future conditions. Output from Synchro is transferred to SimTraffic, the traffic simulation model. SimTraffic is a micro -simulation computer modeling software that simulates each individual vehicle's characteristics and driver behavior in response to traffic volumes, intersection configuration, and signal operations. The model simulates drivers' behaviors and responses to surrounding traffic flow as well as different vehicle types and speeds. It outputs estimated vehicle delay and queue lengths at each intersection being analyzed. Existing Level of Service Summary Table 3, below, summarizes the existing LOS at each driveway and the intersection of France Avenue and 70"' Street based on the current lane geometry and traffic volumes. The table shows that all intersection are operation at LOS C or better during both the AM and 'M peak hours. At the France Avenue and 70`" Street intersection the northbound left turn in the AM peak and the southbound left turn in the PM peak are currently operating at a LOS E. At the full movement driveway access to 70`" Street the southbound left turn is operating at a LOS E. All other movements are operating at LOS D or better.

For the office use either a general office or medical office was evaluated. For the retail use a variety of uses were evaluated from general shops to bagel or coffee shops. The parking generation rates used to estimate the parking demand is based on surveys of the parking generation for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Parking Generation Manual, 4h Edition. Table 6 shows a summary of each of the potential uses and what the anticipated parking demand would be for each for a weekday and weekend.

Currently the proposed site is estimating 34 parking spaces available. The developer has indicated that based on the proposed site plan (Alternative 1) and the anticipated uses a parking demand of 33 spaces would be required. Reviewing the ITE Parking Generation summary in Table 6, parking demand for Alternative I would range from 27 to 75 spaces needed depending on the use. For Alternative I the parking demand would range from 17 to 115 parking spaces needed depending oil the use. Table 7 provides a summary of the parking demand for the proposed redevelopment plan. The shaded area under each alternative indicates the uses or combination of uses that would not meet the available parking based on ITE estimates. In general any type of high turnover drive up use such as a batik, bagel shop or coffee shop will require more parking than available.

The existing movement from the 70't' Street full movement access will experience minor delays during the PM peak hour. This will not affect the operation of traffic on 70a' Street. ■ Although the available parking does not meet the City's Code, based on ITB parking generation estimates the 34 parking spaces would be adequate for Alternative 1 or Alternative 2 with non drive -up high turnover uses. Based on these conclusions no additional improvements other than those shown on the site plan would be required to accommodate the proposed site redevelopment. �3� w+ Y `h l tii , ` >. • � � ter �, Y t j �d '! � y +•yl-�,:`: '� a �V 7 a'. * 00 ' f� " y e , �i' r, e I�Y ! 1� $ t"'tr r Pra,jec`Taeat�c A frl t 6996.Ta nce Avenue F.. 7Qtli Street 01V 1A + # a, � ,sem � ��' �";, .,;• } � '�L� p � Jet k •� 7 ST ew.R5.

Charles Rickart, P..E., PTOE ;RE: Supplemental Parking Analysis 6996 France Avenue City of Edina, MN WSB Project No. 1686-2.3 A Traffic and Parking Study was completed in October 2011 that reviewed two primary alternatives for the land use on the site. The alternatives included: I) a mix of office (5,260st) and retail (3,000sf), or; 2) all retail (6,600sf). The results of the study concluded that the parking being proposed (34 spaces) was adequate for both alternatives with no drive up high turnover uses (i.e. bakery, bank, bagel shop or coffee shop). However, the analysis did not include an alternative that assumed all office (8,260sf). In order to provide the developer with flexibility in filling the new building the 100% office alternative was also analyzed. The parking generation rates used to estimate the parking demand is based on surveys of the parking generation for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Parking Generation Manual, 4"' Edition. Table 1 shows a summary of the potential office uses and what the anticipated parking demand would be for each for a weekday and weekend. Table 1— Office Use Parking Demand The results of this supplemental analysis conclude that the available parking would be adequate for a general office use. However, should a medical office use occupy the entire building there would be a shortage of parking.

When more than 25 percent of the frontage on one side of the street between Intersections Is occupied by buildings having front street setbacks of greater or lesser distances than hereafter required, then the average setback of the existing buildings shall be maintained by all new or relocated buildings on the same side of that street and between the intersections. If a building is to be built or relocated where there Is an established average setback, and there are existing buildings on only one side of the building or relocated building, the front street setback of the new or relocated building need be no greater than that of the nearest adjoining principal building. If a building is to be built or relocated where there Is an established average setback and there are existing buildings on both sides of the new or relocated building, the front street setback need be no greater than that which would be established by connecting a line between the most forward portion of the adjacent principal building on each side. B. Interior Side Yard and Rear Yard Setbacks. Interior side yard and rear yard setbacks Including parking setbacks and loading facility setbacks apply only when the side or rear lot line Is a Planned Commercial District boundary. C. Setbacks for PCD -3. The minimum building setback required by Paragraph B of Subd. 11 of this subsection shall be increased as follows: 1. In the area bounded by France Avenue an the west, York Avenue on the east and W. 70th Street on the south, the minimum building setback shall be Increased by 1/3 foot for each foot that the building exceeds 50 feet In building height. For purposes hereof, only those portions of buildings which exceeds 50 feet in building height need provide the additional setbacks required by this paragraph. 2.

The proponent was proposing to tear down the existing gas station at 6996 France Avenue and rebuild an 8,260 square -foot office/retail building that included a 3,000 square -foot vitamin store and a 5,260 square -foot financial office. He noted the added mezzanine for the financial office had increased the square footage but not changed the footprint of the building. Mr. Teague presented the recommendation of the Planning Commission, from its November 9, 2011, meeting and unanimous recommendation for approval. He explained that should the entire building be utilized as retail, the mezzanine would have to be turned Into storage space and not utilized as retail space. It was also concluded that parking was adequate for the intended use but would not support certain other uses. The PUD rezoning would assure this was the building constructed on the site and if approved, the ordinance amendment would be finalized with the second phase of the project. The approved plans and parking standards would be Incorporated into the zoning ordinance with principal uses listed. Mr. Teague indicated the staff and the Planning Commission recommendation was subject to the findings and conditions as listed in the staff report. Proponent Presentation Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture representing the developer, stated this building would create a good transition between the commercial and residential uses and anchor the corner with retail and office. He hoped it was the first step to transition the area. Mr. Dovolis stated he thought the PUD process worked well. The Council asked about the traffic movement on 70th Street, as referenced in the traffic report conclusions and recommendations. Chuck Rickart, WSB & Associates, described the left turning movement from France Avenue to 70th Street that had the most delay during the PM peak hour. He agreed that certain uses needed to be prohibited due to peak parking need. it was noted the available parking was felt to be adequate for nondrive-thru uses. The Council asked whether a drive-thru use should be prohibited in the PUD. Mr. Teague answered in the affirmative. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:48 p.m.. Public Testimony No one appeared to comment. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried.

The proposed land uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The site layout would be an improvement over a site layout required by standard zoning; the building is brought up to the street, provides front door entries toward the street and includes sidewalks to encourage a more pedestrian friendly environment along the street. 3. The design of the building Is of a high quality stone with large windows. The building is consistent with the small scale buildings on this block. 4. The development would incorporate improved landscaping and green space, a decrease in impervious coverage and an Infiltration area. S. The contaminated soils on the site would be cleaned up. 6. Traffic would be Improved in the area with a right -in only access on France Avenue, the elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection and narrowing the curb cut farther to the west. And subject to the following conditions: 1. The final development plans must be consistent with the preliminary development plans dated September 13, 2011, and the materials board as presented to the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. The final landscape plan must meet all minimum landscaping requirements per Section 850.04 of the Zoning Ordinance. 3. Compliance with all of the conditions outlined In the City Engineer's memo dated November 3, 2011. 4. Final rezoning is subject to a Zoning Ordinance amendment creating the PUD, Planned Unit Development, for this site. Member Swenson seconded the motion. It was noted this project would result in the loss of the only full service station in Edina; however, it was a viable business and not a forced sale. The Council discussed the application and whether a change in use should require reconsideration by the Planning Commission and City Council even If the new use was permitted. Attorney Knutson recommended listing the two uses requested (vitamin store of 3,000 square feet and financial office of 5,260 square feet) as permitted uses and all other uses as conditional uses. The Council discussed whether to permit all office uses without a square footage restriction since available parking would be adequate. It was indicated that retail use, up to a certain square footage, could be a permitted use conditioned on the mezzanine being restricted to storage use. Should a new use result in a change from either retail or office, or a combination, then it would be a conditional use and require reconsideration.

REPORTSIRECOMMENDATIONS Sketch Plan Review 6996 France Avenue South, Edina, MN Planner Presentation Planner Teague reported that the Planning Commission is being asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to redevelop the property located at 6996 France Avenue. The site is currently zoned Planned Commercial District -4 (PCD) and is an existing Sinclair Gas Station. The applicant would like to rezone the site from PCD -4 to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Teague noted that the present zoning only allows automobile service centers, car washes and gas stations. Teague explained that the subject property is located within an area of the City that is designated as a "Potential Area of Change" within the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The site is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for "Office Residential — OR" which allows for limited retail use. Continuing, Teague said because of that land designation uses allowed within the PCD -1 zoning district would seem more appropriate here. Planner Teague explained that the proposal requires a rezoning whether it is to PUD, PCD -1 or to PCD -3. Therefore, the decision to require a Small Area Plan shall be made by the City Council. With graphics Teague presented a compliance table of City standards for the PCD -1 zoning district. Page 4 of 8 14 IST'6/ Planner Teague concluded that the proposal would be an improvement over the existing building and use on the site. Staff would have a concern however in conventional rezoning (PCD -1 or 3) of the site without a specific use proposed. You may recall the building that was approved as part of the Conditional Use Permit at 69th and York; In that case, initially two small retail buildings were proposed up close to the street, similar to the proposed building. However, after a year of the site siting vacant, a CVS went into the site, in a single building that looked nothing like the originally proposed buildings. However, through the use of the PUD zoning, the City could provide some protections in ensuring that the building �roposed is actually constructed. The PUD Ordinance was not available when the 69t & York Site was approved for development. Appearing for the Applicant Dean Dovolis Discussion Commissioner Platteter asked Planner Teague his reason (if rezoned) for recommending a PCD -1 zoning classification vs. a PCD -3 zoning classification. Teague responded his preference would be PUD; however, if only rezoned a PCD -1 zoning classification would be best. Limited retail would tie in with the newly configured West 701h Street and would also maintain limited retail west of France Avenue. Chair Grabiel clarified that this issue is for site plan review; no action from the Commission is required; just comments and ideas. Planner Teague agreed adding that the applicant can go before the City Council with the sketch plan review on September Aoolicant Presentation Mr. Dovolis addressed the Commission and illustrated the vision of a possible redevelopment of the existing Sinclair Gas Station. Dovolis said this vision compliments the pedestrian friendly reconstruction of West 70th Street, Continuing, Dovolis said the project would be a single -story 6,600 square foot retail building with parking to the rear. Dovolis said the building would be oriented toward France Avenue and West 70th Street with the parking tucked behind. Dovolis said the goal was to create an evolution; noting this is a strong corner that needs to be redeveloped correctly. Concluding, Dovolis said that leasing for this project would not be an issue; interest has already been expressed if the project moves forward. Commissioner Carpenter asked what the buildings were to the south of the subject site. It was reported that the buildings to the south were an office building and bank respectively. Chair Grabiel asked Mr. Dovolis if he has any thoughts on a PUD designation for the project. Mr. Dovolis responded that in his opinion the PUD classification was logical, Page 6 of 8 AT7 adding working with the City to the guide the project would be beneficial. Dovolis reiterated that this is a strong corner and any redevelopment needs to be done right. Commissioner Potts asked Mr. Dovolis if he thinks the proposed parking on one side only of the building could be a detrimental to retail. Mr. Dovolis responded that the market is starting to become more open to the 2 -door building. Mr. Dovolis said the proposed building would have both rear and front entrances/exit. A discussion ensued on parking and circulation with the following comments. Controlled intersection -acknowledge there would be periods when stacking would occur •Right in only access on France Avenue and elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection. *Acknowledge that potential for vehicles to navigate the proposed round -about and circle the block. Commissioner Forrest said that she has a concern with amending the Comprehensive Plan; however, was comfortable with handling this redevelopment through the PUD process if the project moves forward. Forrest pointed out that currently what's proposed is a "no -no; it doesn't meet the Comprehensive Guide Plan for west of France Avenue. The discussion continued focusing on the proposed change in retail use from a full scale service station to limited retail and the impact that change in use would have on traffic. It was acknowledged that even without seeing any traffic counts a limited retail use would generate less traffic than a full scale gas station. Chair Grabiel said he was familiar with the service station; adding that although the Sinclair site wasn't a Holiday or SA it still generates business. Commissioner Forrest commented on the building design and asked Mr. Dovolis if he believes the proposed building could be easily adapted to an office building if the need to do so arose. Mr. Dovolis responded in the affirmative. He said the building foot print would service both. Commissioner Staunton said he would like to echo Commissioner Forrest`s concern on the Comprehensive Plan and retail west of France Avenue. Staunton also acknowledged the reference in the staff report indicating that this redevelopment could trigger a small area plan, adding he is a little uncomfortable with that. Continuing, Staunton said the Commission should proceed cautiously with any redevelopment west of France. Chair Grabiel noted that retail is the primary use along France Avenue, adding if one looks at the plain language of the Comprehensive Plan this redevelopment works. Planner Teague informed the Commission that this project would not be an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan — limited retail use is a permitted use on this site. Page 6 of 8 5t Mr. Dovolis added that he believes limited retail is the appropriate use for this site. Commissioner Forrest commented that in her opinion reviewing this project as a PUD would be useful. Commissioner Carpenter asked Mr. Dovolis if the rendering of the building presented to the Commission would be what was built. Mr. Dovolis responded in the affirmative, adding what was indicated on the drawings would be what's constructed. Continuing, Dovolis reiterated the importance of this corner, adding the design presented is specific to this corner. Concluding, Chair Grabiel and the Commission thanked Mr. Dovolis and the development team for bringing this concept before them. The general consensus was support for the project and that the upgrading of this corner was a good thing. Approaching this redevelopment through the PUD process was also reasonable. Vill.

Vill. REPORTS j RECOMMENDATIONS VIIi.A. SKETCH PLAN REVIEWED — 6996 FRANCE AVENUE City Planner Presgntation Mr. Teague presented the applicant's proposal to tear down the existing automobile service station at 6496 France Avenue and build a new 6,600 -square -foot retail building. He also presented the request of the applicant for a rezoning to PUD or PCD -1. Mr. Teague referenced the Planning Commission's comments, noting it was currently undertaking a Small Area Plan with the Grandview District and did not believe this proposal would rise to the level of requiring a Small Area Plan. It was noted that while the Planning Commission was concerned with the Comprehensive Plan and limited retail west of France Avenue, It was comfortable with a PUD rezoning on this site. Mr. Teague indicated this proposal would require a rezoning; therefore, the Council was being asked to determine whether to require a Small Area Plan and to provide general comments on the site plan. Pro meat Presentation Dean Dovolis, D1R Architects, presented the sketch plan for a small building containing office and retail tenants at the corner of the site with parking to the rear. Construction materials would include a combination of stone, glass, and copper with signage on raised corners and create a transition to the 70Th Street green corridor between the roundabouts. Mr. Dovolis explained how the project would address the street and pedestrian nature of the Southdale area, create a gateway to the 70th Street reconstruction project, and positively impact future development in this area. The Council discussed the sketch plan and asked questions of Mr. Dovolis relating to parking and pedestrian pathways. Mr. Dovolis advised that the sketch plan, as proposed, identified 34 parking spaces, four spaces short of the ordinance requirement and explained why underground parking would not be feasible on this small -sized lot. It was noted that use of the right-of-way corridor could ease access off 70th Street by the day care location. Mr. Dovolls indicated he would determine whether easement rights existed; however, using that option might impact several parking spaces. The Council discussed its support for the presented sketch plan and building renditions that Incorporated a front glass curtain wall. It was noted this type of building appeared appealing and would revitalize that corner with a use that was compatible with the Galleria. Mr. Dovolis Indicated the project would incorporate storm sewer practices such as pervious pavers in addition to green building techniques. The consensus of the Council was to favor the use of a PUD, that the request does not reach the threshold to require a Small Area Plan and that the sketch plan was reasonable. Vl11.8.

O All storm water from this site shall be treated on-site; no off-site pond expansions are available within the sub -drainage area. tO A developer's agreement will need to include any work completed within the right-of-ways for sidewalks and at grade pedestrian improvements along West 70'h Street and along France Avenue. O Sidewalk easements will also be required at the intersection of France Avenue and West 701" Street for future at grade pedestrian upgrades. The extent of these pedestrian upgrades will be determined within the next few months. Sheet — C2: 1. Provide a "Do Not Enter" sign on the landscape peninsula located on the northwest corner of the building. This will indicate to vehicles to not exit at France Avenue, since this area is a one-way "In only" access point. 2. Show the updated improvements along West 70h Street, such as the center median. 3. Show directional pedestrian ramps, versus a mid -radius pedestrian ram. 4. Revise sidewalk at the northwest corner of West 701h Street and France Avenue to accommodate ADA requirements; meaning expand sidewalk to accommodate these requirements. Sheet — C4: 1. Indicate on the plans the word "private" next to any onsite storm sewer, water services, and sanitary sewer services. 2. Due to this area being within a moderate to high vulnerability zone for the City's Well Head Protection Plan the storm sewer infiltration system will need to be revised. The revision should include pretreatment of all surface water prior to being infiltrated; the proposed system does not meet this requirement. 3. Revise connection to City water to connect to the 12" CIP that is located on France Avenue. No excavation will be allowed on West 701' Street. 4. Provide Fire Hydrant at the northeast corner of the site along France Avenue. Staff will require a more detail review of the Civil Plans if this project is approved by the City Council.

We have no objection to the development, but we do want to make sure the owner/contractor/developer is aware of the retaining wall (at the south end of our building at 6950 France) that is at the north end or the 6996 France Ave property, It is important to make sure that the construction does not damage this retaining wall because it is necessary to have this undisturbed because it is an emergency exit at the south end of our building. We have sent a previous email (attached) discussing the Air Conditioners and the pine trees, etc. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks, Michael C.

Please notify the developer of the existence of the large (pine?) trees that are at the south end of our property. These trees, or their roots, may be partially on the developer's (gas station's) property. There is also a lower level exit door at the south end of our building (and air conditioners) that we need to make sure that the developer does not damage or impair. It may be best to have those trees removed by the developer rather than risk damaging them (root wise?) or having them fall onto our building during construction. Let me know what is the best approach to take. We are agreeable to their removal if that is the best and safest alternative. Please keep me informed of the development (which we approve of).
