FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVED FOR FAIRVIEW SOUTHDALE HOSPITAL.
Larsen stated that the subject property is the site of the Fairview Southdale
Hospital located immediately east of France Avenue and north of West 65th Street.
The request for Final Development Plan approval to construct a new medical office
building was heard by the.Counci1 at its meeting of May 18, 1987. At that meeting
the Council took action to continue the hearing to allow the proponents time to
consider modifications to their plan. Mr. Larsen advised that they have submitted
revised plans for the Council's review. The plan illustrates the same 68,328
square foot, five story medical office building with location and materials for
the building remaining unchanged.

Second, the two-level portion of the ramp along the easterly property line has

remain as previously proposed. Irrigation of the entire site is included with the
proposed landscaping. Howard Dahlgren, consultant representing Fairview Southdale
Hospital, presented the details of the modifications by showing slides which
illustrated the plan as revised. In response to questions raised by the Council
previously, Mr. Dahlgren explained that future expansion for the hospital could be
provided by expanding it to an eight story level in its entirety with additional
ramping on the west side parking area.

green space that will be provided by cutting the parking ramp back 55 feet at the
surface level and 262 feet at the second level. To lessen the visual impact for
the residents at The Colony, Mr. Dahlgren said that 14 foot coniferous trees and
4" diameter deciduous trees will be provided along the easterly side of the ramp.
With regard to the entrance to the site on West 65th Street at Drew Avenue, he said the hospital is willing to add an additional Itin"

one to the south at West 66th Street, Mr. Dahlgren said the hospital is willing to
pay its fair share of the cost of construction of those signals. He concluded his
presentation by reiterating that the revised plan reduces the impact on the
residents of The Colony, that they cannot reduce the size of the building further

presented.

because the Center and the office buildings were the reasons for the signals.
He said he did not look for local contribution for a traffic signal at West 66th
Street and Drew Avenue because it is a county road that is used by many people.
Member Smith said that he would like to encourage as much traffic as possible
coming out of the hospital-complex to go down Drew Avenue or Barrie Road to West
66th Street and to discourage traffic through The Colony. He said he had talked
with Mr. Dahlgren about a possible additional "out" lane at the Drew Avenue
intersection. Member Smith recalled that at the last meeting the hospital had
offered to employ The Colony maintenance people to make sure that the property
between The Colony and the parking ramp is maintained. Mr. Dahlgren said that

Colony to maintain the hospital's green area adjacent to The Colony.
Smith, President of Colony of Edina Condominium Association, said that, although
the revised plan cuts off the northerly 55 feet of the ramp, the residents will
still be looking at close to a 600 foot parking ramp.
landscaping appears to offer The Colony some protection but that he was not
certain that the ramp facing will make it look like anything other than a parking
ramp. As to maintenance of the green area, Mr. Smith said The Colony had no
objections to maintaining it as suggested by the hospital and would prefer to do
so as to date the hospital has not maintained their side.

Mr. Smith concluded his remarks by saying that their major concern is the long

concerns and objections to the proposal as follows: 1) Zncreased traffic
congestion, 2) reduction of quality of life for The Colony.residents, 3) no need
for the medical office building at this site, 4) security-problems, 5) visual
impact, 6) increased pollutants from additional heating, 7) electronics

overbuilding on this site when it reflects so unfavorably on the adjacent
residents and urged that the proposal be turned down.

Resolution adopted.
FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVED FOR REGIS CORPORATION: VACATION OF PORTION OF
ARCADIA AVENUE GRANTED. The request for final development plan approval and
vacation of a portion of Arcadia Avenue affecting the same property, public
hearings were conducted concurrently. Planner Craig Larsen recalled that the
request for approval of the final development plan fox Regis Corporation, 5000
Normandale Road, was continued by the Council at its meeting of May 18, 1987 to
allow the opportunity for neighboring property owners to comment on ehe proposal,
specifically, the owners of the Eden 100 Building and 33e.P.antr-y restaurant. The
continuance also allowed time to publish and notify adjacent property owners of
the proposed vacation of a portion of Arcadia Avenue. .Mr. Larsen said that the
proposal remains the same as presented at the May 18, 1987meeting.

northeast corner, a one-story office building at 5075 Arcadia Avenue containing
approximately 4,100 square feet and the Biltmore Bowl andshops at 5113 W. 50th
Street.
Commercial District. Regis Corporation intends to redevelop this site as their

proposed vacation is consistent with recommendations made by BRW in the land use
study made of the Grandview area.
Commission recommended approval of the final development plan with the following
conditions: 1) staff approval of the landscaping plan, 2) execution of a proof of
parking agreement, 3) vacation of the Arcadia Avenue right of way by the Council,
and 4) that the variance for exterior materials be temporary afld be limited to
five years. Mr. Larsen said that Mr. Hoffman would review the proposed vacation
as it relates to the land use planning and traffic study that BRW has done for the
City and to provide an update on what has happened traffic-wise in the Grandview
area. Mr. Hoffman recalled that three years ago a traffic study was done on the
Grandview area in terms of a traffic flow program. The study identified several
issue areas; Issue Area 4 is'the area in the vicinity of the northerly portion of
Arcadia Avenue. This area was selected for study due to the possible
redevelopment of the area and the request by the developer for vacation of a
portion of Arcadia Avenue.
access to the area and a larger contiguous area for redevelopment.
roadway modification basically consists of realigning the northerly portion of
Arcadia Avenue so that it intersects Vernon Avenue opposite Interlachen Boulevard.
Mr. Hoffman presented a graphic illustrating traffic counts and turning movement
counts for the subject area and what impact the vacation might have for properties
on Arcadia Avenue. The Eden 100 building traffic basically would orient to the
south to Eden Avenue. He said that he had talked with Ken Johnson, representing
The Pantry restaurant, and that Mr. Johnson had supported the proposed vacation
with some conditions: 1) that the roadway past the bowling alley and up to Vernon
Avenue be signed as Arcadia Avenue, and 2) that the roadway be made to look like a
public roadway instead of a driveway for the bowling alley parking lot and that
some of the entrances to the parking lot be closed off. It is also proposed to
provide a better design on the south leg of the intersection at Vernon Avenue by
the use of a narrow median to channel the traffic. Mr. Hoffman also said that he
has talked at various times with Hennepin County staff regarding the inadequacy of
the traffic signal at Vernon Avenue and Interlachen Boulevard.
has advised that they will be including in their 1988 Capital Improvement Program
complete revision of the traffic signal at that location. Mr. Hoffman recommended
that vacation of the northerly portion of Arcadia Avenue should be conditioned on:
1) retaining,a utility easement over the vacated right of way, 2) that the roadway
past the bowling alley be rebuilt and realigned by Regis, at its expense, pursuant
to City plans to look like a public roadway, and 3) that the bowling alley parking
lot be redesigned for interior circulation with the elimination of some of the
entrances, pursuant to City plans.
intersection to Vernon Avenue would affect traffic coming out of the liquor store
area. Mr. Hoffman explained that it would restrict the access and as a result
most vehicles exiting the parking lot will be forced to use the existing driveway
at Jerry's. This will require motorists to change their driving habits but it
will also provide them with a significantly better approach to the intersection at
Vernon Avenue. Member Smith asked if vacated land is buildable. Mr. Hoffman said
that the answer is no if there are utilities beneath and we retain an easement to
service those utilities.
utilities. Vacated land is buildable if there are no utilities involved. Member
Turner asked how great the setback variance would be for the new building. Mr.
Larsen that it is 4 feet on the lower floor and increases on the two corners of
the building. Michael Plautz, architect for the project, explained that the
building is three stories above grade as defined from the west approach side. The
base extends out for one story only between the two existing buildings and extends
past the setback line as described by Mr. Larsen.

compromised by allowing this building so close to the entrance ramp.

building.

commented that she felt it was unusual for variances and the vacation of right of
way to be requested with this project and asked if there have been similar
projects in the past. Mr. Larsen said he could not recall any specific project
and that staff's position comes from the recommendations of the BRW study which
would make this site more useful. The vacation of Arcadia Avenue does not harm
the overall flow of the traffic and makes sense for the development of the site.
As to the variances, staff felt that in order to get adequate parking the building
should be located to the east and that because there were no abutting buildings,
only the ramp to T.H. 100, that it was a reasonable approach. Member Kelly said
she was concerned about allowing a building to be built in front of an existing
building that would require variances.

redevelopment of the site. In trying to avoid the need for variances they looked
at locating the building further to the west and wrapping a ring of parking on the
T.H. 100 side. He explained that the site goes up fairly steeply so that it would
have been difficult to do and they would have actually ended up with two single
loaded ranks of parking on each side of the building instead of one double and one
single. It was felt it would be more attractive to push the building towards T.H.

essentially led to the placement of the building as now proposed which they felt
is a reasonable request. Nancy Olson, Eden 100 Building, said she represented 20
companies within the building and was also representing Ken Johnson of The Pantry
restaurant. She summarized their concerns as follows: 1) safety of the area of
the street in front of the bowling alley, 2) visibility for .The Pantry - signage
off Vernon Avenue and naming the roadway past the bowling alley as Arcadia Avenue,
3) timeliness - need to re-educate tenants and patrons of the restaurant as to the
different routing, 4) curbs along the bowling alley parking.lot and a curve where
Arcadia will dead end to make it look more like a roadway, 5) .to have only one
entrance and one exit to the bowling alley parking lot with a crosswalk for
pedestrians, 6) to move the center line over on Arcadia going down to Eden Avenue
so that there is adequate room for parking on the westerly side, and 7) to improve
the roadway area adjacent to the liquor store. Ms. Olson concluded by saying that
overall they are pleased with the proposed redevelopment and they are willing to
accept the vacation of Arcadia Avenue if it will be beneficial to them by
improving the existing area and roadway.

curve to Arcadia, new driveway approaches, required landscaping along the northern
edge of that roadway together with pedeserian zxrosswalks, subject to Council
approval for vacating of Arcadia and the other requested variances. Member Smith
asked why the variances are so important and what the long range objective is for
the Regis Corporation. Mr. Fox responded that their long range plan is to include
a substantial office complex on the property.

He stated that they would like to try to move the pieces around and have some
flexibility with this project being Phase I. He said they are asking for the
variances to maximum the site because they would like to place all of their
development on the east side of the site, with the west side of the site being
used exclusively for parking.

Member Kelly raised the issue of traffic congestion in the future resulting from
the Regis redevelopment. Mr. Fox explained that presently the bowling alley and
retail uses create in and out traffic. If those uses are removed and you look at
the ultimate development of the site of approximately 100-150,000 square feet of
office space, he said they believe they will not be causing any more traffic than
the current uses generate. No comment or objection being heard%om the public,
Member Turner introduced the following resolution and moved adoption, subject to
