subject property is a developed single family lot containing approximately
43,500 square feet of area, exclusive of the pond and the existing dwelling is
located in the northeast corner of the property. The proponent has proposed a
subdivision of the property which would create one new buildable lot. The new
lot would contain a net area of approximately 19,000 square feet while the lot
for the existing dwelling would contain approximately 24,700 square feet.. The:
proposed lots would exceed the size and dimension standards set forth in the
Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Larsen pointed out that the City's Subdivision Ordinance,
No. 801-A4, contains a requirement that a strip of land at least 100 feet upland
from a pond be either dedicated to the City or subjected to a perpetual conser-
vation easement in connection with a subdivision for the protection of the water
body.

Road has been reviewed by Hennepin County as to location of the curb cut and
adequate sight lines for safety in entering or existing to Blake Road and has
approved the location of the curb cut pending the City's review and approval of
the proposed subdivision. At its last meeting the Planning Commission recom-
mended approval by a 4-3 vote of the proposal calling for a 70 foot setback from
the pond. Reasons for approval were: 1) if the City requires the 100 foot
setback per ordinance the building pad that would remain would make a new building
infeasible, 2).that the lot sizes of the proposed new lots are compatible with
existing lot sizes in the neighborhood and 3) that the traffic safety issues
relating to the curb cut had been addressed by approval of Hennepin County.
The Planning Commission recommendation for approval was conditioned on: 1) final
plat approval, 2) subdivision dedication, 3) final approval of the curb cut from
Hennepin County and 4) payment of utility connection charges.

property comprises Lots 16 and 17, Auditor's Subdivision No. 319 and contains an
area of 35,380 square feet. Two northerly adjacent parcels, Lot 1, White Oaks
3rd Addition and Lot 9, White Oaks 2nd Addition are owned by the proponent but
are not included in the proposed plat. The request is to subdivide the property
to create one new buildable lot. The new lot would contain 19,100 square feet
and the lot retained for the existing dwelling would contain 16,280 square feet.
Lot 1 (existing dwelling) would.exceed all Zoning Ordinance requirements for the
R-1 Single Dwelling Unit District. The new lot (Lot 2) does not meet the Ordinance
requirement for lot width which requires a width of 75 feet at a point 50 feet
back from the front property line. Lot 2 measures 60 feet at this point and a
15 foot lot width variance is requested. Adjacent and north of the subject property
is a marshy area which provides a storm water holding area for a portion of the

removed and the new lot would not disturb the marsh and would meet all Ordinance
requirements except for lot width. The Community Development and Planning
Commission at its meeting of December 3, 1986 recommended approval of the proposed
subdivision with some modifications. First, that the easterly lot line of the new
Lot 2 be moved to add part of Lot 9, White Oaks 2nd Addition to the new Lot 2.
This would result in both proposed lots meeting or exceeding Ordinance require-
ments for lot width. Second, the remainder of Lot 9, White Oaks 2nd Addition and
Lot 1, White Oaks 3rd Addition would be shown on the proposed plat as one outlot
and the granting of an easement for storm water drainage over the marsh area
within the plat would be required. Mr. Larsen stated that with those modifications

Richards as to when the existing home was platted, Mr. Monroe said it was either
1940 or 1941. Connor Schmid, 4711 Meadow Road, said he is the secretary/treasurer
of the White Oaks Improvement Association. He called the Council's attention to
a letter from Dr. Donald McMillan, President of the Association, outlining
generally the position of the Association in opposition to the proposed subdivi-
sion and the support of approximately 98 individuals who had signed a petition
in opposition. Mr. Schmid presented an additional 9 signatures to the petition,
noting that most of the residents of the White Oaks area are opposed to the
subdivision. He then reviewed his letter to the Council in opposition on behalf
of the White Oaks Improvement Association summarized as follows.
the history of the platting and development of the White Oaks area reflects that
the lots were bought and the homes built pursuant to a general plan of development
for the benefit of the developer and the purchasers and their assigns. The pro-
posed replatting is contrary to that plan.

state. Adequate consideration has not been given to the nature of the ponding

mendation of the Planning Commission he felt there were sufficient reasons for
denial. Member Richards then made a motion to refer the matter to staff to
prepare findings for denial based on these reasons: 1) the symmetry of the lot
approaches a necklot configuration, 2) character of the neighborhood, 3) preser-
vation of the marsh area, and 4) encroachment of setbacks on the slope. Motion
was seconded by Member Bredesen, who commented that he did not feel the proposed
subdivision fit the definition of sound public policy, that the parcel is being
reconfigured to make it buildable and that it is inconsistent with the neighbor-

property is the campus of the Fairview Southdale Hospital containing 13.24 acres.
It is developed with a 374,000 square foot hospital building and a 11,469 square
foot power plant building. The site contains a total of 824 parking spaces, 308
of which are contained in a two level parking ramp located along the easterly
boundary of the campus. Mr. Larsen advised that-the hospital has submitted a
request for final development plan approval to construct a new medical office
building with a gross floor area of 84,240 square feet. Medical office buildings
are a permitted use in the Regional Medical District. The building would be located
north of the hospital in an area which is now utilized for surface parking.
building would be 5 stories high and would be connected to the hospital by a tunnel.
Parking to support the building and to replace existing parking lost to construction
would be provided by adding a third level to the existing ramp and by adding a new,
four level ramp to the north of the existing ramp.
increase from the present 824 spaces to 1,345 spaces with 493.spaces allocated
to the new office building and hospital parking increasing to 853 spaces. The
proposed building would have an exterior of reflective glass panels and pre-
finished metal; the materials conform to Zoning Ordinance requirements.
pointed out several issue areas relative to the proposed development and the
overall impact on the campus and surrounding streets and properties as follows:
Building Setbacks - The Regional Medical District requires that buildings provide
a minimum setback from streets of 35 feet or the height of the building, which-
ever is greater.
The hospital building maintains a non-conforming setback of approximately 25 feet
along West 65th Street.
this setback. Parking Setbacks - The Ordinance requires that parking and drive
aisles maintain a 20 foot setback from any street right of way. Non-conforming
parking setbacks occur along West 65th Street, France Avenue and County Road 62
rights of way.
hospital are proposed to remain.
encroaches on the Crosstown right of way in the northeasterly portion of the
campus would be removed by the new ramp.
parking structures provide a minimum setback of 20 feet or the height of the
structure from any interior property line.
following the expansion of the ramp its height would range between 25 and 31
feet and a variance is requested.

which essentially builds up the level of earth at the base of the ramp.

the height of the structure is measured from the ground level by using the altered
plan the necessity of a variance along that property line adjacent to The Colony
would be removed except for a variance of approximately 7 feet along the Crosstown
Highway right of way. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - Floor Area Ratio is defined as
the ratio of the total building area to the total land area. The Ordinance allows

is approximately .65 and following the addition of the office building the FAR
will increase to 0.79. The power plant building and parking ramps are not in-
cluded in the FAR calculations. Landscaping/Screening - The Ordinance requires
that all parking areas located within 50 feet of a street be screened to a
height of 4 feet. Less than adequate screening exists around the westerly park-
ing lot. The proposed plan would provide the required screening adjacent to the
West 65th Street and France Avenue rights of way.
has not been extended to areas adjacent to the Crosstown highway right of way.
At the Planning Commission meeting the proponents did agree to rectify that and
to bring the landscaping up to Ordinance requirements. Staff would suggest that
an analysis of existing landscaping materials be made to insure that the overall
landscaping does conform. The proponents further proposed to heavily landscape
the easterly property line with oversize stock. Parking - The Ordinance require-
ment for a medical office building is based on 5 spaces per thousand square feet,
plus one space per doctor, resulting in a requirement of 492 spaces for the pro-
posed building. The 492 spaces will be allocated to the building. The Ordinance
requires one space per bed plus one space per employee or volunteer on the major
shift for hospitals. The hospital contains 390 licensed beds and has 430 employees
on the major shift resulting in a parking requirement of 820 spaces.
construction of the new parking facilities 853 spaces will be allocated to the
hospital. A Parking and Traffic Analysis, prepared by Barton Aschman, in support
of the proposal has been submitted. Mr. Larsen concluded that the proposal
complies with the Zoning Ordinance requirements in most respects. By eliminating
the need for a setback variance along the property line adjacent to The Colony,
the only non-conforming features will be the setback variance along the Crosstown
Highway right of way and the existing non-conforming setback of the parking west
of the hospital. The hospital has agreed to increase the landscaping generally
on the property and to increase the screening to Ordinance requirements for all
parking areas.

recommend that the hospital participate to a large degree in the cost of such
improvements. Mr. Larsen stated that the proposal was heard by the Community

voted to continue the hearing on the proposal to the next meeting to allow addi-
tional time to study the issues that were raised.

to do that the Planning Commission would either have to recommend approval or
denial. The Commission thereupon recommended denial based on the variance
required. Mr. Robinson then presented the following additional comments. The
hospital is proposing to build a 75,000 square foot medical building and a
contiguous parking structure that will replace surface parking displaced by the
project. Other options for siting the building were examined and it was con-
cluded that there was no better site than the one proposed because of setback
requirements.

traffic consulting firm, to help identify options for traffic patterns in the
area. Mr. Robinson said the request was for Council consideration and approval

The Colony and had met with their Homeowners' Association Board on November 24
to review the project with them. Mr. Robinson said that as a result of that
meeting and in reflecting on comments made by members of the Planning Commission
they had identified the following four issues: 1) Visual Impact - The plan has
been modified to lessen the visual impact by raising the ground elevation adjacent
to the building by approximately 4 feet; 2) Traffic Impact - The concerns of
The Colony residents regarding traffic cutting through on Barrie Road have been
addressed by the traffic study; 3) Safety/Security - The hospital's security
service would be extended to patrol the new office building and the parking
ramp; ramp lighting would also be provided; and 4) Pollution Impact - In per-
spective, approximately 116,000 vehicles per day travel on the Crosstown Highway
with approximately 40-60,000 vehicles per day on France Avenue. The proposed
project is estimated to:add 500 to 1,000 car trips per day in the immediate area.
James Cooperman, architect for the project, then reviewed the project design,
landscaping plan and lighting for the ramp. David Koske, of Barton Aschman,
explained the methology used in conducting the Parking & Traffic Evaluation for
Fairview-Southdale Hospital. Based on the figures complied in the study, it
was concluded that the current level of traffic .operation on France Avenue at
West 65th Street is satisfactory and basically operates at a level of Service C

caused by the metered entrance onto the eastbound Crosstown Highway and the
limitation on the left turn phase to travel westbound on the Crosstown. The
analysis of traffic generation and parking demands for the Southdale Medical
Building was used to project traffic and parking for the proposed project.
Mr. Koske stated that as a result of the study it was the general conclusion
that the proposed medical building would not have significant impact on the
current traffic operations at the intersection of France Avenue and West 65th
Street, nor on France Avenue and that the traffic signal at the intersection
would adequately handle the peak traffic generated by the new building.

- Dr. Richard Lund, 7203 Gleason Road, said he represented the 70 physicians and
35 medical practices who were listed on the roster presented to the Council
which have indicated support for the project on the Fairview Hospital campus.
Dr. Lund explained that the health care delivery system has changed rapidly
over the past few years and that many practices want to merge or associate and
share facilities. This has resulted in a need for a different physical plant
which is more in the nature of a clinic with central waiting areas, shared
facilities and closer association. By doing this it is hoped to provide more
office space for those that need to expand and also bring in more specialists
and sub-specialist to upgrade the quality of care delivered to the area and to
Fairview Southdale Hospital to keep it as one of the best hospitals serving the
Edina/Richfield/Bloomington area. Mr . Robinson concluded the hospital' s pre-
sentation with these points: 1) No variances or zoning change is requested,
2) the public review process has resulted in a better design for the project,
and 3) the project will be a fine addition to the community and will serve to
enhance the medical services to residents-of Edina. Phillip Smith, 6312 Barrie

that he was concerned that this is something that has been on the drawing board
