Next Meeting of the Edina Planning Commission Wednesday June 12, 2013 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Kris Aaker May 22, 2013 B-13-15 Assistant Planner Recommended Action: Approve the 99.2 foot front yard setback variance as requested for a vacant lot located at 6443 McCauley Terrace, for the University of St. Thomas, Crown Bank and JMS Companies. Project Description A 99.2 foot front yard setback variance to build a new home on a vacant lot, (See property location, aerial photos, photos of neighboring homes on pages A.1 A8). INFORMATION/BACKGROUND The subject property is located on the east side of McCauley Terrace consisting of a vacant lot that is approximately one acre in size and that backs up to Arrowhead Lake. The lot is 44,099 square feet in area and was platted in 1975, (see plat on attached page A.3). The applicants are hoping to build a 2 Y2 story home with an attached three car garage. The applicants would like to locate the new home at a setback of 52.8 feet from the front lot line, (see A.9*— A.17, surveys and house plans). The ordinance requires that the new home match the adjacent front yard setback of the home located south of the subject home. The property to the south is a neck lot with the home located 152 feet from McCauley Terrace right-of-way. The new home is proposed to be a walk -out with back yard views towards Arrowhead Lake. Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Single dwelling units, zoned R-1, single dwelling unit district and guided residential. Easterly: Single dwelling units, zoned R-1, single dwelling unit district and guided residential. Southerly: Single dwelling units, zoned R-1, single dwelling unit district and guided residential. Existing Site Features The subject property is a 44,099 square foot vacant lot. Planning Guide Plan designation: Single Dwelling Unit Zoning: R-1, Single Dwelling Unit District Grading & Drainage The grading must not impact adjacent neighbors. Final grading and drainage plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer at the time of building permit application. The proposed plans may require review and approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Building Design The proposed home will be a 2'/ story home with lap and batten siding, with shakes and stone trim on the front fagade, (See plans on pages A. 11 A. 17). Compliance Table * Variance Required Primary Issue: Is the proposed development reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons: 2 City Standard Proposed Front - 152 feet *52.8 feet Side- 10+ height, (living) 18/27.3 feet Rear- 75 feet to water 139.5 feet Building Height 2 1/2 stories 2 1/2 stories, 30 feet to midpoint 38 feet to the 30 feet to midpoint, 37.5 ridge, feet to the ridge Lot coverage 25% 10% * Variance Required Primary Issue: Is the proposed development reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons: 2 1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-1, Single Dwelling Unit Zoning District and complies with all requirements with the exception of setback from McCauley Terrace. 2. The home is appropriate in size and scale for the nearly one acre lot. The improvements will enhance the property and not detract from the neighborhood. The adjacent neighbor to the south is located 93 feet from the proposed garage of the subject home so spacing between structures is generous. 3. The improvements will provide a reasonable use of a rather large lot that is virtually unbuildable given the required front yard setback, 75 foot setback from the lake and the location of drainage and utility easements on the property. The variance would allow for a new home to be built at a reasonable distance from McCauley Terrace. 4. The required front yard setback, setback from the lake and the drainage and utility easements, reduces the buildable area of the lot to a small fraction of buildable area that is downhill from the street edge, (see attached exhibit A. 9). Is the proposed variance justified? Yes. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: Section 850.0.Subd., requires the following findings for approval of a variance: Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will: 9) Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may include functional and aesthetic concerns. 3 Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable. The new home is not oversized for the lot and will be in -keeping with other homes along the cul- de-sac. Other homes have front yard setbacks from McCauley Terrace of 39 and 55 feet. The proposed front yard setback will be in -keeping with other setbacks from the street edge. Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable given that the required front yard setback renders the 44,099 square foot lot generally unbuildable. The practical difficulty is, caused by the existing location of the adjacent home to the south. The practical difficulty is also the front yard setback requirement that takes into account the setback of the home to the south that is 152 feet from McCauley Terrace, but does not take into consideration homes that are much closer to the cul-de-sac. The buildable area of the adjacent neck lot, forced the neighbor's home farther back from the street than what is typically seen on a standard lot. Edina's subdivision ordinance is now written to avoid flag/neck lots which have an effect on front yard setbacks of adjacent properties. The lot is large, with generous spacing between the new home and neighboring structures. The purpose behind the ordinance is to maintain an established front yard sight line and street scape. The ordinance is meant to prevent a continual erosion of the established front yard setback pattern in an existing neighborhood by holding all new construction to the existing neighborhood standard and to avoid new structure build -out beyond existing conditions. The proposed front yard setback of 52.8 feet does not compromise the intent of the ordinance. 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? Yes. The unique circumstances are that the existing lot is subjected to a front yard setback that is unreasonably deep. The required setbacks and easements on the property reduce the buildable area of the lot dramatically creating an unbuildable lot. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The proposed home will be reasonable for the size of the lot and given surrounding homes. The character of the neighborhood consists of a variety of housing styles and lot configurations. Staff Recommendation 4 Approve the requested variance based on the following findings: 1. The proposal meets the required standards for a variance, because: a) The practical difficult is caused by the location of the home to the south and the required front yard setback based on a neck/flag lot. b) The encroachment into the setback would be consistent with other homes fronting the cul-de-sac. The request is reasonable given the location of the adjacent neighbor to the street, the setback required from the Lake and the easement areas within the lot. Approval of the variance is subject to the following condition: 1. The home must be construction per the proposed plans date stamped, 2. May 6, 2013. 3. Final grading and drainage plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. Submit a copy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit. The City may require revisions to the approved plans to meet the District's requirements. 5. The execution and recording of a Conservation Easement 75 feet upland from the Ordinary High Water level of Arrowhead Lake.

This property is a conforming lot consisting of nearly one acre, with approximately 110' of frontage on McCauley Terrace. The overall width in the buildable area of the property is nearly 120'. To the southwest of this property, at 6445 McCauley Terrace, exists a non- conforming "flag" lot with an existing setback from McCauley Terrace of 152'. Edina City ordinance requires that the subject property match the setback of this neighboring flag lot, which creates an unbuildable situation, due to drainage and utility easements and required setbacks from Arrowhead Lake. This request proposes a setback that more closely resembles the setbacks of homes on McCauley Terrace that represent traditional placement on the property, most notably 6447 McCauley Terrace (setback of 53.9') and 6439 McCauley Terrace (setback of 38.5'). This placement also serves to protect many of the trees existing on the property, which creates a natural buffer to adjacent homes. University of St. Thomas Real Estate Advisory Board Fund Raising Development Project Summary• The UST Real Estate Advisory Board (REAB) unanimously authorized a single family development project in Edina, Minnesota at their Spring Board 2013 Board meeting. The purpose of the project is to raise money for the UST Real Estate Education programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Additionally, the project will serve as a learning tool for students involved with this special study group as part of UST real estate curriculum. Purpose and Procedure: The monies earned and donated to the University of St. Thomas are to be deposited, invested and held for the benefit of the University's Real Estate Programs. Dispersal of any funds for any activity deemed to benefit the University and its Real Estate Programs shall be based on evaluation of the proposed use by the UST Real Estate Advisory Board including scholarship. Each request for funding shall be written and include a statement of purpose, benefit to the University and Real Estate Program and budget. Dispersal of funds shall require the written authorization of the Real Estate Advisory Board, or its Executive Committee, and signature of the Advisory Board Chair. Description: The development is the construction of a single family custom home on an Edina single family lot situated on Arrowhead Lake in Edina, Minnesota. The address of the land parcel is 6443 McCauley Terrace, Edina, Minnesota. The lot is owned by Crown Bank whose President is Peter Dahl. The lot has been marketed in 2012 — 2013 by Nancy Schoenwetter, Broker for Prime Real Estate Services (wife of UST Real Estate Advisory Board Member Jeff Schoenwetter). The bank has agreed to a discounted price as a "donative action", with terms of due upon sale", The project is a UST sponsored development whereby the bank will provide all construction capital (funding) for building the home. The goal of REAB is to create as large a margin as possible between the cost to build the home and the sale price. This will be accomplished by asking for contributions or reduced cost services to build the home. Each subcontractor's bid shall include a statement of their intent to donate labor and / or materials to the project and the ensuing cash flow after sale. Marketing: REAB plans to enter the home in the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC) 2013 Fall Parade of Homes. The home will be promoted by Edina Realty (Ron Peltier, Chair of UST Real Estate Advisory Board) target price will be approximately $1,500,000. Edina Realty will also provide financing (mortgage origination) for the new owners. Financial Structure and Construction: The staff at JMS Custom Homes will supervise the project. JMS has agreed to contribute their profits as a donation. Jeff Schoenwetter owns JMS Custom Homes and is a member of the REAR. JMS Custom Homes was voted the 2011 BATC Builder of the Year by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities and is a highly qualified custom builder with many local and national awards and recognitions. JMS Custom Homes secured the top builder position in Edina in 2012 pulling nearly twice the number of the next closest builder. The construction of this home will be managed in a traditional industry standard format. The architectural service (Alexander Design of Wayzata) has agreed to donate their design. The subcontractors will bid their portions of the contract. Those subcontractors providing services and/or materials with a donative intent will be paid a portion of their contract upon completion of their task with the balance paid upon closing according to their respective allocation of the Sworn Construction Statement. Immediately after closing, the subcontractor will make a cash contribution to UST in an amount equal to the difference between their proportional share of the sale price and the total amount of labor or materials donated to the project. The UST Advancement staff will document the gift terms of each subcontractor. Funds to pay subcontractors will be readily available from Crown Bank as described above. This is not only a "fund raising" project but it is also a "friend raising" project to help the students learn and enable UST to make new friends in the real estate industry. The current plan does require personal and moral support for the project from UST Board Members and friends of the University. The REAB will be responsible to shepherd this endeavor to a successful conclusion. Assistance will be provided by UST staff and Real Estate Faculty. Our current goal is ground breaking in late May 2013 assuming the City of Edina approves the project for permitting.

Community Development Director INFORMATION/BACKGROUND Project Description Fairview Southdale Hospital is proposing to build a two-level 88,974 square foot addition for a new Emergency Care and Urgent Care Center at their site at 6401 France Avenue. (See location on pages Al—A5) The existing Emergency and Urgent Care facility would be remodeled for hospital use. (See project narrative on pages A6 A19; and the proposed plans on pages A20—A37.) To accommodate the proposed addition, the following is requested: 1. Site Plan Review. 2. Drive -aisle setback from 20 -feet to 6-10 feet for the new round -a -bout drop off and pick up area and drive aisle in front of the addition adjacent to Crosstown Highway. (See page A28.)- 3. Parking Stall Variance from 2,728 to 2,051 spaces. Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Crosstown Highway 62 further north, single-family homes, zoned and guide low-density residential Easterly: The Colony Condominiums; zoned and guided for high-density residential Southerly: Southdale Medical Building; zoned and guided Regional Medical District Westerly: Fairview Hospital parking ramp Existing Site Features The subject property is 13.8 acres in size and contains the Fairview Southdale Hospital and parking ramp, and a freestanding medical office building. The site is 16.7 acres in size when adding the parking ramp site on the west side of France. (See pages A3—A4.) Planning Guide Plan designation: RM, Regional Medical (See page A5a.) Zoning: RMD, Regional Medical District. (See page A2.) Site Access The primary access to the site would remain be off of 65th Street West. Users of the new facility would just continue north and west to the new Emergency and Urgent Care. The same parking ramp would be used. The site will continue to be two way all around the hospital. (See page A5 and A26.) Parking & Traffic As mentioned above, a parking space variance is requested to accommodate the required number of parking spaces for the site. Based on the square footage of the hospital, medical offices, expanded emergency room, number of doctors and beds, 2,728 parking spaces are required for the entire site; that includes the anticipated number of employees as a result of the expansion. There are 2,051 parking spaces on the site including both parking ramps. WSB and Associates completed a traffic and parking study for the existing and proposed hospital operations. (See study on pages A37—A85.) The study concludes that the existing adjacent roadways can support the proposed addition, and there would be adequate parking provided. (See pages A49 —A50 of the study.) Although study concludes that no improvements are required at this time, in the future at France Avenue/65th Street intersection they are anticipated. Should delays and queuing become an issue in the future, minor intersection turn lane and phasing improvements may be necessary. Should these improvements be required in the future Fairview Southdale Hospital would be responsible for their share of those improvements. Landscaping The proposed landscape plan exceeds the City's requirements. Based on the perimeter of the site, 85 over story trees and a full complement of understory trees and shrubs are required. The side would contain 164 existing and proposed over story trees around the site & a full complement of understory trees and shrubs. (See landscape plan on pages A31—A32.) 2 Grading & Utilities The city engineer has reviewed the plans and found them generally acceptable and offered comments and conditions for approval. (See city engineer memo on page A115.) These shall be made part of the conditions for approval of the project. Plans shall be subject to review and approval of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Building Materials The building addition would be light in color to generally match the hospital; building materials would include architectural cast stone, stone, metal panel, curtain wall and glass. (See renderings on pages A21 A25.) The applicant will present a materials board at the Planning Commission meeting. Variance — Drive Aisle Setback Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will: 1) Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may include functional and aesthetic concerns. Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable. The access drive is located adjacent to Crosstown Highway 62. (See page A28.) There is no direct access to the highway from the hospital site. The hospital site is elevated from Crosstown; therefore, the paved surface would not be visible from the highway. The practical difficulty is caused by the right-of- way taken for the freeway entrance ramp. As a result there is excess green space (40 feet) between the highway and the round -a -bout turn around; which would appear that there is adequate separation from the highway. 3 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? Yes. The Hospital site is unique in the RMD zoning district. There are no other hospital sites within the district. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. There is adequate (40 feet) green space between the hospital drive aisle and the Crosstown Highway. There is also a 5 -foot chain link fence separating the uses. Variance — Parking Stalls Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will: 1) Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may include functional and aesthetic concerns. Staff believes the proposed parking stall variance is reasonable. A parking study was conducted by WSB Associates that concludes that the City Code required parking is not necessary for the Hospital site. The study concludes that the hospital could function adequately with 1750 and 1850 parking spaces. There are an existing 2,051 spaces on the site. (See pages A49—A50 of the parking study.) When the hospital was expanded back in 2000, the specific City Code calculation was not done, rather, a parking analysis was done which concluded that there would be adequate parking. (See minutes from Planning Commission and City Council meetings on pages A86—A114.) That study has proven to be accurate, as the parking has functioned adequately. The City of Edina does not want to require unnecessary paving or parking ramps for parking stalls that are not needed. 4 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? Yes. Again, the hospital site is unique in the RMD zoning district. It is the only regional hospital in Edina. There are no other 16.5 acre sites held in common ownership and zoned the same within the City. Again, the City would rather see green space and development rather than large parking lots or ramps that are not needed. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The alternative to the variance would be to require the applicant to construct a larger and taller structured parking ramp, either on the west side of France or on hospital site. Based on the parking study done by WSB, this parking would not be needed.

Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for six reasons: 1. The proposed use is permitted in the RMD, Regional Medical District. 2. The proposed building setbacks are met. 3. The proposed addition could be supported by the existing roadway system, based on the traffic and parking study done by WSB and Associates. (See pages A37— A85.) 4. With the exception of the drive -aisle setback and parking stall variances, the proposal meets all minimum zoning ordinance requirements. 5. The variances are reasonable. The drive -aisle setback variance would have no impact on Crosstown Highway. There would still be a 40 -foot green space separation between the freeway on ramp and the hospital drive -aisle. The parking study concludes that the proposed addition and existing uses on the site would be supported by the existing parking facilities. Traditionally, the City of Edina has not required parking stalls, when they are not needed. Additional parking could be provided by adding levels to the existing parking ramps if needed. 6. Fairview Hospital provides a convenient community asset that provides a vital service to the City of Edina and surrounding area. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the City Council approve the Site Plan with Variances for Fairview Southdale Hospital. Approval is based on the following findings: The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site Plan with the exception of the parking space variance and drive aisle setback variance. 0 2. WSB conducted a parking and traffic impact study. The study concluded that the existing roadway system would support the proposed project; and the parking on the site would contain adequate parking to support the expansion and existing uses. 3. The variances requested are reasonable. The drive -aisle setback variance would have no impact on Crosstown Highway. There would still be a 40 - foot green space separation between the freeway on ramp and the hospital drive -aisle. The parking study concludes that the site would be adequately parked. 4. The west parking ramp could be expanded should there ever be a need for additional parking for the site. Approval of the Site Plan is subject to the following conditions: 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 April 24, 2013. • Grading plan date stamped April 24, 2013. • Landscaping plan date stamped April 24, 2013. Building elevations date stamped April 24, 2013. • Building materials board as presented at the Planning Commission and City Council meeting. 2. Prior the issuance of a building permit, a final landscape plan must be submitted, 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. 3. The property owner is responsible for replacing any required landscaping that dies. 4. Submit a copy of the Minnehaha 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 city engineer in his memo dated May 17, 2013. 6. Should delays and queuing become an issue at the France Avenue/65 Street intersection in the future, minor intersection turn lane and phasing improvements may be necessary. Should these improvements be required 7 in the future Fairview Southdale Hospital will be responsible for their share of those improvements. 7. Fire lanes must be signed subject to review and approval of the fire marshal.

Completion of this proposed addition in 2015 will mark a milestone In Fairview's continued growth since completion of the original building in 1965. Project Drivers ■ Emergency room visits to this facility are expected to grow to approximately 50,000 per year ■ Current Emergency Department occupies approximately 15,000 square feet and is at capacity " Increase capacity and flexibility while improving flow and integration of services �* ■ Optimize use of site and improve access to all functions ■ Strengthen brand identify from Highway 62 and France Avenue Project Components ■ Combines Emergency Care with Urgent Care in one integrated and efficient space ■ improves site access to the Emergency Department/ Urgent Care and other functions ■ Adds 88,974 square feet of new built -out and shell space on three levels and 9,420 square feet of renovated space ■ Adds an Observation unit to accommodate patient stays of less than 24 hours ■ Relocates the existing helipad to the roof of the east wing ■ Expands the existing Central Plant to serve the additional program area Page 1 of 2 Design Considerations ■ Over the past approximately eight months Fairview Southdale Hospital has worked closely with their Design Team to move this project forward. This highly skilled team of consultants provides professional services including masterplanning, site survey, geotechnical, environmental, architectural, civil engineering, landscape design, interior design, structural engineering, medical equipment planning, emergency department planning, lean planning, virtual reality, cost estimating, furniture, fixture, and equipment planning, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, low voltage planning, helipad planning, traffic and parking planning, construction auditing, special inspections and testing, commissioning, signage design, elevator planning, and project management. ■ The team has enrolled this project in Xcel Energy's Design Assistance Program and is working with Xcel's facilitator, the Weidt Group, to analyze the proposed project, create an energy model to predict energy use, develop strategies to conserve energy, implement the selected strategies, and then monitor the results. We looked closely at providing additional sustainable features in this building such as a green roof. There are limited opportunities to provide significant areas of green roof and many of these are interrupted by mechanical equipment. In the end we elected to focus our effort on the new building systems, mechanical systems, and electrical systems that will make this project as energy efficient as possible. Key Team Members Fairview Southdale Hospital has selected several key team members to assist them with this project. These team members are highly experienced in healthcare development and have worked with Fairview Southdale Hospital on past projects... ■ HGA Architects ■ Dunham • The Weidt Group ■ Knutson Construction ■ Walker & Associates Page 2 of 2 Fairview Southdale Hospital — Emergency Center Expansion 6 May 2013, Walker & Associates Site Plan Application — Written Statement Major Project Components With improved access and a combined Emergency Care and Urgent Care, the completed addition provides 88,974 square feet of new built -out and shell space on three levels and 9,420 square feet of renovated space. Included in the project is an Observation Unit at the Second Level to accommodate patient stays of less than 24 hours, a relocated helipad at the Third Level roof of the east wing, and expansion of the existing Central Plant to serve the additional program area. Variance Application — Setback To allow easy movement within the site for emergency and other large vehicles, we propose to reduce the required setback from the required ten feet to seven feet in a limited area adjacent to the outermost curve of the roundabout. Variance Application — Parking Actual average daily peak usage at the site is currently 1,495 parking spaces and the highest recorded parking usage is 1,690 parking spaces. We propose to reduce the required 2,575 spaces to 2,051 parking spaces. This amount of parking is still a full 37 percent more than the actual average daily peak and 21 percent more than the highest recorded parking usage. Page 1 of 1 Fairview Soathdale Hospital Emergency Center Expansion 22 April 2013, Walker & Associates Variance Application — Parking By the Zoning Ordinance, the Parking Requirement for this project is approximately 2,575 spaces. When this project is completed, the campus will provide 2,051 parking spaces. The actual average daily peak usage at the site is currently 1,495 parking spaces and the highest recorded parking usage is 1,690 parking spaces. We request a Parking Variance to accommodate construction of this new project. Condition Answer Explanation Relieve practical difficulties in Yes Long term monitoring of parking use by the Owner confirms that the current parking complying with the zoning ordinance provided on this campus easily meets the current parking need. Projections indicate and that the use is reasonable that the existing parking arrangement will serve the parking needs of the expanded facility as well. This approach to serving the parking need is proven and reasonable. Correct extraordinary circumstances Yes This facility is landlocked on all sides and does not have the option to construct applicable to this property but not additional areas of surface parking. Most of the parking needs for the facility are applicable to other property in the served by parking ramps at the east and west sides of the campus. Current and future vicinity or zoning district parking needs are well met by the current parking arrangement.

To allow easy movement within the site for emergency and other large vehicles we propose to reduce the setback to four feet in the limited area adjacent to the outermost curve of the roundabout. We request a Parking Variance to accommodate construction of this new project. Condition Relieve practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable Correct extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other property in the vicinity or zoning district Be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance Answer Explanation Yes The need to expand this facility is potentially compromised by the tightly constricted site. Expansion of the roundabout allows for better flow of emergency vehicles, fire department equipment, and other larger vehicles. This is a minor accommodation and is reasonable. Yes This facility is landlocked on all sides and has limited area available for expansion to fulfill its public mission.

The site is located in the southeast quadrant of TH 62 and France Avenue. The project location is shown on Figure 1, The proposed plan includes the expansion of the emergency center, urgent care, behavioral health and observation area. The proposed expansion consists of a 77,500 sf (gross area), two- story building located on the north side of the existing hospital building. Existing access to this area of the hospital is from 65`" Street at two access locations. No modification to the access planned with the expansions project, However the ring road is planned to be modified to include a new roundabout that will accommodate the new expansion and provide improved circulation and access to the 6363 building and the east parking ramp. The proposed site plan including the ring road improvements is shown in Figure 2. The traffic impacts of the existing and proposed site expansion were evaluated at the following locations. • France Avenue at 660' Street • France Avenue at 65`h Street • 65`" Street at Hospital Driveway + 65`4 Street at Drew Avenue • 66`s Street at Drew Avenue The following sections of this report document the analysis and anticipated impacts of the proposed redevelopment. A3 W% FSH — Ernergeney Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 2 of 15 Existing Trac Characteristics The existing lane configuration and traffic control include: France Avenue (CSAR 17) is north/south a 6 -lane divided Arterial roadway from south of 66h Street to north of 65th Street. Primary access to York Avenue is by local streets and development driveways. The posted speed limit on France Avenue in the vicinity of the site is 40 mph. 66th Street (CSAR 53) is an east/west 4 -lane divided Minor Arterial roadway. Street access and access to adjacent developments including the Southdale Shopping Center is provided from this roadway, The speed limit posted on 60h Street is 35 mph, 65"' Street 65"' Street is an east/west City street with numerous access driveways. The existing roadway cont guration includes a single lane in each direction. All the driveway access points are controlled with stop signs, stopping the exiting movements from the developments. A 30 mph speed limit is posted on this roadway. Drew Avenue is a north/south City street with numerous access driveways, The existing roadway configuration between 66'h Street and 65"' Street includes a single lane in each direction with a continuous center left turn lane (three lane section). Al I the driveway access points are control W with stop signs, stopping the exiting movements from the developments. A 30 mph speed limit is posted on this roadway. Drew Avenue north of 65th Street is a two-lane street providing access around the hospital. Access to the Fairview Southdale parking ramp and several hospital related uses is provided from this roadway. The lane conrIgUrations at each of the study area intersection are as follows: France Avenue at 661" Street— Traffic Signal Control SB France Ave approach ing 66th St — one right/through, two through, one left NB France Ave approaching 66th St — one right, three through, one left EB 66"' St approaching France Ave — one right, two through, one left WB 66th St approaching France Ave —one right, two through, two left France Avenue at 651" Street— Traffic Signal Control SB France Ave approaching 65th St — one right/through, two through, one left NB France Ave approaching 65 tb St — one right/through, two through, one left EB 65t" St approaching France Ave — one right/through, one left WB 65h St approaching France Ave -- one right, one through/left 65"' Street at Hospital Driveway — Side Street Stop SB Hospital Driveway approaching 65th St — one right/through/left E13 65th St approaching Hospital Driveway — one right/through/left WB 65'h St approaching Hospital Driveway - one right/through/left R FSM — 5mergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 3 of 15 650' Street at Drew Avenue - Side Street Stop SB Drew Ave approaching 650i St— one right, one through/left NB Drew Ave approaching 65t' St — one right/through, one left EB 650i St approaching Drew Ave — one riglit/through/left W 3 65th St approaching Drew Ave — one right/through/left 66'h Street at Drew Avenue/Southdale Center Access — Traffic Signal Control SB Drew Ave approaching 66'h St — one right/through, one left NB Southdale Center Access approaching 66`' St _ inbound lanes only EB 66'h St approaching Drew Ave — one right, two through, one left W 3 65'h St approaching Prance Ave — one right/through, two through, one left AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts and daily hourly approach counts were conducted during the week on April 1, 2013..These counts were used as the existing baseline conditions for the area. Figure 3 shows the existing intersections and driveways along each corridor that were analyzed as part of this traffic study, with the existing 20I3 AM and PM peak hour and traffic volumes. The traffic count data is included in the Appendix. Background (Nary Development) Traffic Growth Traffic growth in the vicinity of proposed site will occur between existing conditions (2012) and any given future year due to other development within the region. This background growth must be accounted for and included in future year traffic forecasts. Reviewing the historical traffic counts in the area, traffic has stayed somewhat constant or dropped in the past few years. However, in order to account for some background growth in traffic the Hennepin County State Aid traffic growth projection factor of 1.1 over a 20 year period was used to project traffic to the 2014 and 2030 analysis years. In addition to the regional background traffic, other specific none development related traffic was determined and included with the overall background traffic. Edina Medical Plaza (6500 France Avenue) — The City recently ap�roved the redevelopment of the properties in the southwest quadrant of France Avenue and 65'' Street. The proposed site included redevelopment of both the 6500 France Avenue site and the 4005 650i Avenue site with a five story 96,500 sfinedical office building with an attached 3 story parking structure. However, recently the City was presented a revised site plan changing the use on the site to a 209 unit senior housing and skilled care facility. With this change, it is assumed that this project will not be open and will not be included with 2014 analysis but, will be filly developed and included in the 2030 background traffic. Southdale Residential - The City recently approved the addition of 232 apartment units with associated parking in the existing Southdale Shopping Center parking lot. The site is located in the northwest quadrant of 69'h Street and York Avenue. It is assumed that this project will not be open and included as part of the 2014 analysis but, will be fully leased and included in the 2030 background traffic. FSH — Emergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 4 of 15 Additional Southdale Mall Development - Based on the information received fi•om Southdale Center about the current vacancy rates and plans for renovations, it was determined that following the renovations, the mall would have an additional 143,880 sf of leasable space available. This figure includes leasable retail and food court space. The analysis assumes that all leasable space will be occupied by 2014 and included in the background traffic for the 2014 and 2030 analysis. Future Restaurant Development — A future restaurant is proposed in northeast quadrant of France Avenue and 69`x' Street in the Southdale Center Parking lot. The restaurant was assumed to be 8,000 sf in size with approximately 300 seats. The analysis assumes the restaurant will not be developed by 2014 but, will be open and included and included as part of the 2030 background traffic. The estimated trip generation for the additional background traffic is shown below in Table 1. The trip generation rates used to estimate the additional development traffic is based on extensive surveys of the trip -generation rates for other similar land uses as documented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Alanual., 9'h Edition. The table shows the AM and PM peak hour trip generation for the proposed uses.

M FSH — Emergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 5 of 15 Determining the traffic generation using the existing site conditions was based on data provided by the hospital from November 2011 through August 2012. During this time frame for the emergency room there was an average of 3 visits in the AM peak hour and an average of 7 visits in the PM peak hour. For the urgent care facility, at the peak, there were 7 visits per hour. Currently the urgent care does not operate during the AM peak hour. Each of these visits represents two trips, one in and one out. It is proposed that there will be a10% increase in services with the proposed expansion and that the urgent care would be operating during the AM peak hour. This will result in an increase of 16 trips in the AM peak hour (assuming a peek condition for the urgent care) and 4 trips in the PM peak hour. The estimated trip generation from the proposed Fairview Southdale Hospital expansion is shown below in Table 2.

In general the Trip Distribution was assumed: • 30% to the north • 40% to the south • 15% to the east • 15% to the west. Additional background trips were distributed to 65`h Street, 66"' Street or France Avenue based on the ratio of existing AADT volumes on each respective roadway. The generated trips for the proposed Fairview Southdale Hospital expansion were assumed to arrive or exit using driveways on 65`h Street and circulate using the existing Drew Avenue ring road. These trips were assigned based on the ratio of existing traffic patterns on each respective roadway. FSH — Emergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 6 of 15 Future Year Traffic Forecasts Traffic forecasts were prepared for the year 2014 which is the year after the proposed expansion would be completed and for the 2030 conditions which represents the City's Comprehensive Plan development time frame. Three improvement alternatives were evaluated. 1. Existing — Assuming existing lane configurations and traffic control 2. No Build — Assuming existing lane configurations and traffic control without the hospital expansion Build — Assuming existing lane configuration and traffic control with the hospital expansion. The traffic forecasts were prepared by adding the projected annual background traffic growth and the projected non -development background traffic growth to the existing 2013 traffic counts to determine the "No -Build" traffic conditions. The anticipated Fairview Southdale Hospital expansion traffic was then added to the no -build to determine the "Build" traffic conditions. Figufes 4— 7 shows the projected 2014 and 2030 No -Build and Build AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes. Traffic Operations Existing and/or forecasted traffic operations were evaluated for the impacted intersections and access driveway adjacent to the hospital. The analysis was conducted for the following scenarios. 1. Existing 2013 Conditions 2. Projected 2014 No Build 3. Projected 2014 Build 4. Projected 2030 No Build 5. Projected 2030 Build This section describes the methodology used to assess the operations and provides a summary of traffic operations for each scenario. Analysis Metlio(IoloQy The traffic operations analysis is derived from established methodologies documented in the Highivay Capacih) Rdanual 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 "F" 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. FSIs — Etriergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 7 of IS 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 -control led 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 un -signalized intersections are shown in Table 3. 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. Table 3 - Intersection Level of&,Mce Ratoges Control Delay (Seconds) Signalized Un -Signalized A :5 10 :S 10 B 10-20 10-15 C 20-35 15-25 D 35-55 25-35 E 55-80 1 35-50 r > 80 > so I Source: HCM LOS, as described above, can also be determined for the individual legs (sometimes referred to as "approaches") or lanes (turn lanes in particular) of an intersection. 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 turn 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. A 0 FS11— Emergency Center Expansion Cite of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 8 of 15 The LOS analysis was performed using Synchro/SimTraffic: Synchro, a software package that unpletnents I-lighway Capacity Manual (14CM) methodologies, was used to build each signalized intersection and provide an input database for turning -movement volumes, lane geometries, and signal design and tinting characteristics. In addition, Synchro was used to optimize signal timing parameters for future conditions. Output fi-om Synchro is transferred to SimTraffic, the traffic simulation model. • SimTrafiic 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. Existi►►e Level of Service Sunanarty Treble 4, below, summarizes the existing LOS at the primary intersections in the study area based on the current lane geometry, traffic control and traffic volumes. The table shows that all intersection are operating at an overall LOS D or better during both the AM and PM peak hours with all movements operating at LOS E or better..

The results of the analysis are discussed below and shown in Tables S tract 6. Detailed tables showing the LOS and delays by approach are included in the Appead'i.z.

However, with the increase in traffic, some additional movements will be operating at LOS E. Overall delays will also increase slightly from the existhconditions to the 2030 conditions, especially at the major intersections on France Avenue at 65 Street and 66`" Street and on 66`" Street at Drew Avenue/Southdale entrance. By 2030 the analysis indicates that at the intersection of 65'h Street and France Avenue potential issues on the 0' Street approaches and France Avenue left turns may exist. With minor intersection and signal improvements (additional turn lane length and signal phasing changes), these issues would be minimized, improving the overall intersection LOS back to a C with 20 to 25 sec delays.

Table 6— Forecasted Build tvith Hospital Expansion, shows that all intersection will continue to operate at overall LOS D or better in 2014 and 2030 during both the AM and PM peak hours with some movements at LOS E. Similar to the Forecasted No -Build conditions the intersection of 65`" Street and France Avenue will have potential delay issues. With minor intersection and signal improvements (additional turn lane length and signal phasing changes), these issues would be minimized, improving the overall intersection LOS back to a C with 20 to 25 see delays. In addition the intersection of 65`" Street and the Hospital Entrance will experience increased delays, although they do not indicate a need for potential mitigation.

Vehicle Otteubm Analvsis A queuing analysis for the existing and future 2014 and 2030 conditions was prepared evaluating the anticipated vehicle queuing impacts at the intersections in the study area. The analysis was conducted using the SimTraflic simulation software, The results found that during both the AM and PM peak hours, for the existing, and future no - build and build 2014 and 2030 conditions, the average queues in the corridors do not exceed any of the available turn lane storage. In some cases however, for the 2030 no -build and build conditions, the maximum queues were exceeded, specifically; on 65th Street between France Avenue and the hospital entrance. The maximum queue represents the longest length of queue that was observed during the analysis period. The observations were typically identified one or two times during the peak periods with an extremely short duration of less than 4 to 6 seconds. The potential future mitigation at the 65th Street and France Avenue intersection discussed above will improve the flow of traffic on 65°' Street and also minimize traffic blocking the hospital entrance. Additional signage could also be added indicating "do not block intersection" and/or `ino left turns during peak hours" at the hospital entrance should this become an issue.

FSH —Emergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page I i of 15 Parking Impact Analysis The parking impacts to the existing Fairview Southdale Hospital and Medical office buildings were analyzed based on the current use of the site and anticipated growth. Table 7 below shows a summary of the existing parking available on the site. Currently there are two primary parking structures and surface spaces located throughout the site. These locations are shown in Figure 2. Table 7—Available Parking Location Existing Spaces Proposed Spaces West Parking Ratnp 1018 1018 East Parking Ramp 975 975 Surface Spaces 74 58 ko7tslarking Spaces 2067 2051 in order to provide a base line of the parking demand for the site, the existing parking was counted, Table 8 shows the average and peak number of occupied spaces throughout the site. Table 8 —Parking Use Counter! Location Average Occupied Spaces Peak Occupied Spaces West Parking Ramp 1455 1690 Cast Parking Ramp Surface Spaces 40 58 Total Parking Spaces 1495 1748 Based on the City Code the Fairview Southdale Hospital site would require approximately 2575 parking spaces. If it is assumed that the site will have a 10% increase in staff as a result of the expansion, the site would require 2728. In both case a parking variance is required for site would require 6747total spaces requiring a variance for 524 and 677 respectively. Table 9 shows the required parking based on the City Code.

Table 10 below shows a summary of each uses and what the anticipated peak parking demand would be for a typical weekday. This would represent the worst case condition for the parking on the site assuming the existing and proposed uses. Based on this analysis, the existing parking required is very similar to the peak occupied spaces counted.

FSEI -- Emergency Center FApansion City of Edina May 14, 2033 Page 13 of IS Conclusions /Recommendodon Based on the analysis documented in this memorandum, WSB has concluded the following; • The proposed Fairview Southdale Emergency Center Expansion project includes the expansion of the emergency center, urgent care, behavioral health and observation area. The site is anticipated to generate an add itional„,rips in the AM peak hour and?rips in the PM peak hour. • Additional trips will be generated from other approved or anticipated development in the surrounding area. These uses will generate an additional 385 trips in the AM peak hour and 809 trips in the PM peak hour. • Existing traffic operations at the intersections and driveways in the study area on 65tth Street and 66"' Street are all operating at overall LOS D or better for the both the AM and PM peak hours. • Intersection traffic operations for the No -Build conditions in 2014 and 2030 will continue to operate at an overall LOS D or better for the AM and PM peak hours. However, some movements, specifically at the 651" Street and France Avenue intersection will be operating at LOS E. By 2030 the analysis indicates that at the intersection may have potential issues on the 651' Street approaches and France Avenue left turns. With minor intersection and signal improvements (additional turn lane lengths and signal phasing changes), these issues would be minimized, improving the overall intersection LOS back to a C. Intersection traffic operations for the Forecasted Build alternative (with the Hospital Expansion traffic) in 2014 and 2030 will continue to operate at an overall LOS D or better: during the AM and PM peak hours. Similar to the Forecasted No -Build conditions the intersection of 65'" Street and France Avenue may have potential delay issues. With the minor intersection and signal improvements (additional turn lane length and signal phasing changes), these issues would be minimized, improving the overall intersection LOS back to a C. The results of the queuing analysis found that during both the AM and PM peak hours, for the existing, and future no -build and build 2014 and 2030 conditions, the average queues in the corridors do not exceed any of the available turn lane storage. In some cases however, for the 2030 no -build and build conditions, the maximum queues were exceeded, specifically; on 65`h Street between France Avenue and the hospital entrance. The potential future mitigation at the 65t" Street and France Avenue intersection will improve the flow of traffic on 65`x' Street and also minimize traffic blocking the hospital entrance. Additional signage could also be added at the hospital entrance should this become an issue. FSH _ Emergency Center Expansion City of Edina May 14, 2013 Page 14 of 15 The existing or proposed available parking does not or will not meet the City's Code. A With the current and proposed Hospital Expansion, 2728 parking spaces would be required based on City Code. The current plan provides for 2051 parking spaces. This would require a variance for 677 parking spaces. Based on the parking count and the ITE parking generation estimates the total parking required for the Fairview Soutlldale Hospital site would range between 1750 and 1850 spaces. With this estimate, no parking variance would be required. Based on these conclusions the following is recommended. 1. Provide the proposed roadway internal roadway improvements as shown on the proposed site plan (Figure 2). 2. Although no improvements to the France Avenue at 65th Street intersection are specifically required at this time. Should delays and queuing become an issue in the future, minor intersection turn lane and phasing improvements may be necessary.. Should these improvements be required in the future Fairview Southdalc Hospital will be responsible for their share of those improvements. 3. No additional roadway improvements or additional parking would be required to accommodate the proposed Fairview Southdale Emergency Center Expansion project.

The expansion would occur in three phases. Phase I would be a single story with lower level addition to the west side of the building. Phase II would further expand the first floor, would add three levels of medical office space (MOB) above the addition, would construct a 984 space parking structure west of France Avenue which would be connected to the hospital by a skyway over France. Phase III would reorient the hospital's main entrance from the north to the west side and complete the interior remodeling. The proposed 4 level, 984 space parking structure requires 2 setback variances. The first is along the north property line which is the right of way for the Crosstown highway. The ramp has been pushed as far north as possible to maximize the setback from 65th Street. As a result a 32 foot setback variance is requested which is equal to the height of the ramp. The second variance occurs at the southwesterly corner of the ramp where a 4 foot setback variance is requested. The ramp provides a 31 foot setback where 35 feet is required. Mr. Larsen explained when all 3 phases of the hospital expansion are complete the Floor Area Ratio for the site will be 1.06 which exceeds the maximum FAR of 1.0 for the Regional Medical District. This ultimate FAR, however, does not take into account the property west of France owned by the hospital (the parking ramp property). If given credit for this property the FAR would drop to 0.88 and would not require a variance. The relocated ring road along the west and north sides of the building comes within 3 feet of the property line on the north side and within 5 feet along the west side of the building. The required setback is 20 feet. Thus, a 17 foot parking setback variance is required. The ring road is necessary because the hospital intends to limit access to the parking areas to the west and north of the building. Mr. Larsen pointed out the Zoning Ordinance bases parking requirements for hospitals on the number of beds and employees. We have found this standard does not work to evaluate parking demand for a modern hospital campus. Rather we have relied on parking counts and the experience at other suburban hospitals to determine how much parking is needed. This method has worked well. The hospital's parking consultant estimates a overall demand of 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet for the completed project. The proposed ramp would provide parking adequate to meet expected demand. According to the analysis existing parking is adequate to meet Phase I demand. Mr. Larsen told the Commission the traffic impact of the proposed development is addressed in the attached Traffic Impact Study prepared by BRW, Inc. The study is attached for Commission review. The study has been reviewed by the City Engineer. Recommendations for area improvements are detailed on page 30 of the report. Improvements to Drew Avenue should occur coincident with Phase I, while improvements west of France should occur when the ramp is built in Phase II. Mr. Larsen stated Fairview Southdale is a community asset that provides vital services to the community and region. Staff believes it is essential that the hospital have the flexibility to react and change as the delivery of health care evolves. Acquiring the site west of France Avenue allows the hospital this flexibility. Construction of the skyway will allow the two sites to function as one. Traffic is, and will continue to be an issue in this area. Proposed improvements in the Traffic Study are consistent with the city's master planning for the area. Staff recommends approval of the 3 phase plan for the expansion and remodeling, and also recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the 4 level ramp conditioned on: 1. Permits from 9 Mile Creek Watershed District 2. Hospital participation in street and intersection improvements as set out in the Traffic Impact Study 3. Refer ring road design to staff to examine possible modification which could occur with Phase I I of the project Mr. Mark Enger, Mr. Daniel Weber were present representing Fairview Southdale Hospital. Mr. Richard Dahl was present representing BWBR Architects, and Mr. Howard Preston of BRW was present. Commissioner McClelland asked Mr. Larsen why 6400 France Avenue (site of proposed ramp) requires a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Larsen explained the site is zoned APD, Automobile Parking District, and constructing a ramp in an APD zone requires a Conditional Use Permit. Commissioner McClelland commented that she has some concern that in the future the ramp could be sold to a separate party. Mr. Larsen responded once the ramp is physically connected to the hospital via the skyway that concern would not be an issue. Commissioner Swenson noted Phase I is aggressive and eliminates parking during the construction phase. She asked if staff believes parking demands will be met during the construction process. Mr. Larsen agreed that providing adequate parking will be a balancing act, adding he believes during the construction period parking will be adequate. Commissioner Swenson suggested that the parking ramp structure be constructed first, thereby providing parking during construction phases. Mr. Mark Enger addressed the Commission and informed them Fairview Southdale Hospital (FSH) is 35 years old, has experienced many changes, and is committed to the City of Edina and the community. Mr. Enger said the main site isl5 acres, and was donated to FSH by the Dayton family for health care to the community. Mr. Enger told the Commission for the past three years FSH has looked at numerous expansion scenarios, and believes the plan before the Commission this evening fulfills the hospitals and communities needs. Mr. Enger said FSH is now operating at its maximum capacity due to the growth of the southwest suburbs, and FSH needs to meet the demands of the community. Mr. Enger explained the proposed campus expansion will be accomplished in three phases, and it is the goal of the hospital to accomplish the three phases with as little disruption as possible. Mr. Enger introduced to the Commission, Mr. Daniel Weber also of FSH. Mr. Weber informed the Commission the goal of the hospital is to orient the hospital toward the west, France Avenue. He said the front entrance for the hospital will be moved from the north to the west taking full advantage of France Avenue. Mr. Weber added new landscaping will be incorporated on site and a "green area" will be developed on the first floor allowing visitors and patients to enjoy the outdoors. Mr. Weber also noted the hospital will be creating quasi - public spaces that the hospital intends to offer the community for use. Mr. Weber said the hospital wants to develop a strong purpose of campus. Mr. Weber introduced Mr. Rick Dahl, architect for the project to further explain the proposal. Mr. Dahl told the Commission the goal of the project is to create a recognized campus that is approachable and flexible. Mr. Dahl added the project is also cost effective, and re -enforces the sense of campus. Continuing, Mr. Dahl said the master plan will include; clinical components and support spaces, educational facilities, quasi -public spaces, medical office building, AA parking ramp and a skyway spanning France Avenue. Mr. Dahl said the master plan is proposed to be implemented over the course of three phases. Mr. Dahl explained Phase I is proposed to begin in the spring of 2000 and completed by the winter of 2002. Phase I will include 74,000 square feet of expansion which will occur on the first and lower levels. Phase I also includes 52,000 square feet of remodeling on the first floor. Phase I will include the heart center, including a cardiology suite of seven procedure rooms. Surgery facilities are also expanded by adding eight Ors and MRI is being relocated adjacent to the Emergency Department. Phase II adds the medical mall, parking ramp and skyway. This phase is targeted to begin in the spring of 2001 and end in the winter of 2002. Mr. Dahl said Phase III includes the completion of the medical mall, expansion of the post-operative recover area, a 20 foot wide lower level concourse will be created to route public traffic from the new outpatient entrance. Construction of Phase III is anticipated to being in the spring of 2002 and completed in the fall of 2003. Concluding Mr. Dahl explained the building design will be respectful of the existing hospital, and the proposed materials for expansion include brick to match the existing building, precast concrete, and green marble. Similar materials will be used on the proposed skyway and parking ramp. Mr. Enger told the Commission traffic is a concern in the area, and the hospital is working with City staff on signage to aid in the better flow of traffic, and to divert some traffic to Valley View Road. Mr. Enger said there will be some temporary parking inconveniences that the hospital hopes to mitigate by providing shuttle services for staff and temporary parking solutions. Chairman Johnson questioned if the bulk of patient and visitor parking will be located in the proposed new ramp west of France Avenue and will the existing ramp be used by staff. Mr. Enger responded the existing ramp will be used by tenants and patients of the existing medical office building. Mr. Enger said he believes the vast majority of staff will park in the new parking structure. Chairman Johnson said the last time the hospital came before the Commission there was some talk about West 65th Street and Drew Avenue. Chairman Johnson questioned what happened to that plan. Mr. Enger said a previous option of the hospital was an expansion that included the closure and re-routing West 65th Street. Mr. Enger said that scenario has died. Mr. Enger introduced Mr. Howard Preston of BRW. Mr. Preston said as part of the traffic study BRW conducted a technical analysis of what is occurring now, and what will occur in the future. Mr. Preston said he has worked closely with Mr. Hoffman from the City's Engineering Department, and has suggested that Drew Avenue be widened from 66th Street to 65th Street to accommodate traffic. Chairman Johnson asked if there has been any discussion between the hospital and the neighborhood. Mr. Preston said prior to the change in scenarios BRW conducted a vehicle trace survey in the area. This survey indicated that much of the traffic on West 65th Street appeared to be destined for the hospital. Mr. Preston said it has been their goal to focus traffic coming to and going from the hospital to West 66th Street and Drew Avenue. Mr. Enger, interjected and told the Commission FSH has held two community forums inviting the neighbors giving them an opportunity to discuss the proposed expansion, and in addition the hospital has kept in contact with Pacey Irk, Chair of the Colony Association. Mr. Enger said at this time there appears to be no issues. Chairman Johnson stated traffic on Valley View Road coming west from the proposed ramp concerns him. He pointed out Valley View Road is 300 to 400 feet from the ramp, and if a vehicle turns right onto Valley View Road, and turns left onto Crosstown a stacking problem will occur. Chairman Johnson noted it is already difficult to get onto Crosstown. Mr. Preston, said FSH is looking into the possibility of creating signalization at the south and north ramp terminals. Mr. Preston said it is hoped this will assist vehicles in getting from 65th onto Valley View Road going north and turning west onto the Crosstown. Mr. Preston added congestion on the Crosstown highway is beyond the scope of the hospital. Chairman Johnson stated during certain hours one can't get on the Crosstown ramp. Continuing, Chairman Johnson said he has a concern especially during rush hour that travelers will figure out a way to wind through the neighborhood and pick up north bound 100 at Benton Avenue. Mr. Preston agreed that is a possibility. Mr. Enger interjected it is difficult to define when rush hours starts and stops, adding hospital shift changes are during different hours, and it is our hope that the staggered time frame distributes traffic. Mr. Enger said the hospital shares the same concerns regarding traffic. He stated it is important to the hospital that patients and visitors gain easy access to the campus. Mr. Enger concluded hospital staff is very interested in working with the City, County and State, to resolve traffic issues, reiterating finding solutions is very important to FSH and the community. Commissioner Swenson questioned Mr. Hoffman if it is possible to put a traffic light at the bottom of the Valley View Road exit from Crosstown Highway. Mr. Hoffman said that can be accomplished, adding there is a plan to construct three lanes at this point because the exit lane is so short merging into flowing traffic with so many turns required to gain access to France Avenue. Commissioner Swenson said she also has a concern with the ramp entrance from Valley View Road traveling westbound on Crosstown Highway. She said it is difficult to excelerate fast enough because the merge lane is so short. Mr. 410 Hoffman said he agrees with that observation, and explained there is an idea using additional land to making the merging easier. Commissioner McClelland said she noticed the hospital has stressed it is a non for profit organization, and pointed out when the hospital requested the office building and ramp in the NE corner of the campus it was felt at that time that that would be the last expansion to the campus. Mr. Enger explained BTO, owner of the medical office building is not a non profit organization. He said they are for profit and pay property taxes, and will continue to pay taxes on the existing building, and the proposed new office suites. Continuing, Mr. Enger pointed out the demand for medical facilities has increased during the last decade which can be noted in the occupancy rates of medical facilities along France Avenue. Mr. Enger said he cannot address what occurred before he came to FSH, and how the hospital presented itself at that time, but believes this expansion is needed and is an asset to the community. Commissioner McClelland questioned Mr. Enger on the temporary structure variance the hospital requested in December. Mr. Enger said at this time FSH is considering other options. It was found that the cost of the temporary structure exceeds the budget of the hospital. Mr. Dahl interjected he was present at the December Zoning Board hearing and explained as designed the temporary structure would be required to conform to building codes and cost became a factor. Concluding, Mr. Dahl said they are in the process of discussing other temporary options. Commissioner Lonsbury asked Mr. Enger is he knows the percentage breakdown of residents that use the hospital and It's campus facilities. Mr. Enger explained FSH encompasses the SW metro area, which includes Edina, parts of southwest Minneapolis, Bloomington, and Richfield. Mr. Enger said that percentage is roughly 85%. 15% comes from other regions. Commissioner Swenson asked Mr. Larsen the difference between Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and lot coverage. Mr. Larsen explained lot coverage (building footprint coverage) calculations are used in the residential districts. FAR is used in commercial and other zones and measures the gross floor area divided by the lot area. Commissioner Swenson asked Mr. Larsen if he knows of any areas in the City where the FAR is as intense. Mr. Larsen said many of our commercial zones are at the maximum FAR. Mr. Larsen explained what is different in this situation is that France Avenue divides the campus creating a situation where the property west of France Avenue cannot be used in FAR calculations, even if it is owned by the hospital and considered part of the campus. qt Commissioner Swenson asked Mr. Larsen if he has a concern about setting a FAR precedent. Mr. Larsen said by law variances are not precedent setting, they are always unique to each site. Commissioner Bergman asked Mr. Larsen if he is aware of future development plans on the Southdale Medical Building site. Mr. Larsen said that is a real possibility. He added the traffic analysis was required to assume an addition will occur on that site. Commissioner Lonsbury asked. Mr. Larsen if City Code allows skyways. Mr. Larsen said skyways are not addressed in the code. Continuing, Mr. Larsen said France Avenue is a County road and the County has indicated they have no problem with the proposed skyway as long as it meets height requirements. Commissioner Lonsbury questioned if any code modifications should occur regarding skyways. Mr. Larsen stated that is worth thinking about, adding at the present time he does not believe there is another skyway imminent. Commissioner Byron moved to recommend Final Development Plan and Conditional Use approval, subject to: permits from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District; hospital participation in street and intersection improvements as set out in the Traffic Impact Study; refer ring road design to staff to examine possible modification which could occur with Phase II of the project, and subject to variance approval as they relate to the parking ramp and ring road. Commissioner Bergman seconded the motion. Chairman Johnson asked Commissioner's Byron and Bergman if they would accept an amendment to the motion that would include the further study and discussion of Drew Avenue and its intersections. Commissioner's Byron and Bergman accepted the amendment. All voted aye; motion carried. Minutes/Edina City Council/February 15, 2000 Passed and adopted this 15th day of February, 2000. Member Johnson seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Johnson, Kelly, Maetzold Ordinance No. 850-A-16 adopted. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED TO APRIL 4, 2000, FINAL DEVLEOPMENT PLAN, FAIRVIEW SOUTHDALE HOSPITAL Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Mr. Larsen reported that Fairview Southdale Hospital has requested approval for an expansion that would include remodeling existing space, expanding outpatient services, additional medical office space and construction of structured parking on the existing surface parking lot west of France Avenue. The proposal requires the Council approve a Final Development Plan and a Conditional Use Permit. The expansion would take place in three phases. Phase 1 would be a two-story addition (one-story with basement) to the west side of the existing building. Phase 2 would further expand the first floor, add three levels of medical office space (65,700 square feet) above this expansion and would construct a 984 space parking structure west of France Avenue connected to the hospital by a skyway over France. Phase 3 would reorient the hospital's main entrance from the north to the west side of the building and complete the proposed interior remodeling. Mr. Larsen added that City staff requested the hospital complete an environmental assessment worksheet which the Council has received. He said that Statute requires no action for 30 days after publication of the worksheet which was published February 7, 2000. Therefore, Mr. Larsen recommended that action would need to be continued until at the earliest March 21, 2000. The proposal requires two variances. He explained that the ramp has been pushed as far north as possible to maximize the setback from 65th Street. As a result, a 32 -foot setback variance is requested is equal to the height of the ramp. The second variance is at the southwesterly corner of the ramp where the ramp provides 31 feet of setback and 35 feet are required resulting in a variance of 4 feet. Mr. Larsen said that when all three phases of the expansion are complete, the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the site will be 1.06 which exceeds the maximum FAR of 1.0 for the Regional Medical District. He noted that this FAR does not take into account the property west of France owned by the hospital (the parking structure). When given credit for the property west of France the FAR drops to 0.88 and would comply with Edina Code. Parking regulations base requirements upon the number of beds and employees. Staff has found this standard does not work to evaluate parking for a modern hospital campus. The parking consultant has estimated an overall demand of 5 spaces for 1,000 square feet of completed project. The proposed ramp would provide 1,137 (originally 984) parking spaces and based upon parking counts and experience at other suburban hospitals it is believed the proposal will adequately meet the demand. Page 7 413 Minutes/Edina City Council/ February 15, 2000 Mr. Larsen reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Final Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit for the Fairview Southdale Hospital expansion subject to the following conditions: 1. Watershed District permits; 2. Hospital participation in street and intersection improvements set out in the traffic impact analysis section of the EAW.; and 3. Redesign of ring route and parking area west of the addition to be reviewed by staff. Following the Planning Commission meeting, Planning and Engineering staff met with hospital representatives to consider site plan changes which would reduce hard surface and add landscaped area along the France Avenue side of the hospital. As a result of those discussions, a revised site plan and landscaping plan have been submitted. The revised plan eliminates the separate parking and ring route areas west of the building, reduces parking and hard surface area, while providing additional landscaped areas. The parking area west of the building will be used primarily for handicapped parking. The parking north of the building will continue to be short term physician parking. Mr. Larsen said the changes appear to represent a significant improvement and staff recommends approval of the change. He added that partially in consideration for the site plan changes; the hospital is requesting consideration of a slightly larger parking ramp. The expanded ramp would increase capacity from 984 stalls originally proposed to 1,137 stalls. The expansion would occur on the west side of the structure. This expansion would meet setbacks and not require a variance. The additional spaces would replace those lost through the redesign of the site plan, and would provide a cushion to handle occasional peak demand times for the hospital and clinic. The expanded ramp would remain at four levels. He concluded that staff recommended approval of the revised ramp plan. Member Faust asked if the parking west of France would be free or fee parking; if the Phase 2 parking could be required before the Phase 1; whether the expansion to the ramp requires a variance; and how high would the skyway be above France Avenue? Mr. Larsen replied he assumed it would be fee parking, that the parking would be completed as soon as possible, however, according to the traffic study of the EAW the surface lot should be able to handle Phase 1 parking needs. He added that the expansion to the parking ramp does not require a variance, and that the skyway was planned to be 18 feet above France Avenue. Member Faust commented that she wants to see the parking constructed during the first phase. Proponent Presentation Mark Enger, Administrator, Fairview Southdale Hospital, thanked the Council for the opportunity to present the hospital's proposed expansion plans. He noted that Fairview will celebrate its 35th year of service during 2000. Mr. Enger said the proposed expansion was in response to additional demands for service. As the suburban population has increased, demographics changed and technologies have advanced. Hospitals see large increases in calls for services in many areas. Page 8 OAT- Minutes/Edina Ci!y Council/FebruW 15, 2000 Mr. Enger said the team has been working for almost two years to develop the proposed expansion plans. He showed the Council and audience the architectural renderings of the proposed expansion. Mr. Enger reported the Board has approved $35,000,000 of improvement in the Phase 1 & 2 expansions. The hospital intends to expand its surgical capacity and its cardiovascular services; to build structured parking on the surface lot, west of France Avenue to be attached to the hospital via a skyway; and add medical office space. Mr. Enger stated that the hospital has attempted to be diligent in working with neighbors. They have hosted two community forums. Mr. Enger reiterated that the hospital is very committed to the community. Their intent is to create space available to the community when not used by the hospital. They are also very concerned about traffic. For this reason the ramp has been designed to disperse traffic. Mr. Enger asked the Council for their support of the project. He introduced Mr. Richard Dahl, BWBR Architects, and Mr. Howard Preston of BRW Traffic Consultants. Richard Dahl, BWBR Architects, explained he had been working with Fairview Southdale Hospital for two years. Mr. Dahl said four principles guided the proposal: proactive wellness; accessible facilities; flexibility of use; and cost effectiveness. Mr. Dahl reported the building design responded to space allocation, would be respectful of the existing hospital, and re - enforces the sense of campus. The master plan will include: clinical components and support spaces, education facilities, quasi -public spaces, medical office building, parking ramp and a skyway spanning France Avenue. Mr. Dahl explained Phase 1 is proposed to begin in Spring 2000 and be completed by Winter 2002. It will include 74,000 square feet of expansion occurring on the first and lower levels. Phase 1 also includes 52,000 square feet of remodeling on the first floor of the hospital. It will include the heart center (a cardiology suite of seven procedure rooms), surgery facilities will also be expanded by adding eight OR's and MRI will be relocated adjacent to the Emergency Department. Phase 2 will add the medical mall, parking ramp and skyway. Mr. Dahl said this phase would be targeted to begin construction during Spring 2001 and be completed Winter 2002. Phase 3 would include the completion of the medical mall, expansion of the post- operative recovery area, a 20 -foot wide lower -level concourse to route public traffic from the new outpatient entrance. Mr. Dahl stated that Phase 3 would begin Spring 2002 and be completed Fall 2003. He added that during the third phase the main entrance would be reoriented to France Avenue and the interior space will be changed, thus necessitating the greatest demand for additional parking. Member Johnson asked the proponents what the need was for additional medical offices? Mr. Enger replied there was an increased demand for office space, and that the plan would create office space around certain clinical specialties. Mayor Maetzold commented that Southdale was the only five star heart hospital in the upper midwest. Member Faust expressed concern with construction parking. Where are all the construction workers parking? This could create a very difficult situation in an already strained area. She Page 9 A IS- Minutes/Edina Citv Council/ February 15, 2000 asked that by the time the hospital carne back for its final approval in April; the construction parking should be worked out and reported to the Council. Mr. Enger acknowledged the concern for construction parking. He said off-site parking would most likely be needed. Southdale Shopping Center may be a possible location. Member Hovland said that Fairview Southdale has been a good corporate citizen. He applauded their desire to expand, improve accessibility and approachability. Member Hovland acknowledges the ramp west of France Avenue promotes these issues. He asked how many patients are expected daily? Mr. Enger replied estimates are 240 beds per day plus 120 emergency room visits. In addition, there will be increased outpatient use. It is anticipated that there will be up to 19,000 car visits per day. Member Hovland asked if the proposal looked to 2005 and beyond and about the demographics of the potential patient base. Mr. Enger said yes, it had and assumed a 3% annual growth factor. He added that 70% of the patients come from Edina with the remaining 30% from the Minnesota Valley area. Member Hovland expressed concern with growth and increased traffic demands. He asked if perhaps MnDOT should be asked to create direct access to Valley View and to the ramp. Member Hovland also asked if the increased number of employees had been factored into the traffic calculations. Howard Preston of BRW explained that as part of the traffic study, BRW conducted a technical analysis of what the current traffic is and what the future will bring. He said he worked with the City Engineering Department and has suggested that Drew Avenue be widened from 6611 Street to 65th Street to accommodate traffic. Mr. Hoffman added there is a plan to construct three lanes at the bottom of Valley View Road's exit from Crosstown Highway and to bring the traffic directly into the ramp without cars ever needing to go as far east as France. Public Comment Pacy Erck , 6315 Colony Way. Ms. Erck, President Colony Homeowners Association, stated she represented 500 residents from 308 units. They are concerned about traffic. Ms. Erck reported that parking issues already exist. Colony resident are very concerned with the congestion on Drew Avenue and about pedestrian traffic corning from the parking ramp. With the redesign of 66th Street now only right turns are allowed onto Barrie Road. Ms. Erck urged the Council to require the parking structure be in place before any other expansion is built. Construction of this magnitude will take two to three years and keep 500 people frustrated and in jeopardy. Linda Schmidt, 6483 Barrie Road, complained that the morning traffic on Barrie Road speeds now. She urged that traffic be directed to avoid Barrie Road. Doug Murray, 6566 France Avenue, stated he is the Legal Chair for the Point of France Board of Directors. Mr. Murray echoed the traffic concerns of the previous speakers. He stated he had a number of questions about the parking structure and stated it will decrease the value of Page 10 A 4� Minutes/Edina City Council/February 15, 2000 a number of Point of France homes. Mr. Murray urged that the structure be extensively screened and that any trees planted be mature trees. Point of France has concern with the ramp's height and its rectangular shape. Mr. Murray asked what about future expansion of the ramp. Mayor Maetzold noted that the Council may only deal with the current proposal. Mr. Murray continued questioning whether the proposal was the best use of the space. He pointed out that many accidents occur at 65th Street and France Avenue and urged the Council to proceed with caution. Doug Erickson, 5020 Richmond Drive, stated he believed that the proposed expansion was a nightmare waiting to happen. Mr. Erickson urged caution in any approval because of the impact on France Avenue traffic. Katherine Abbott, 6566 France Avenue South, stated she lives overlooking a traffic jam. Ms. Abbott said she had no notice of any proposed expansion until last week. She asked the City to get control over the height of the ramp and to ensure there is adequate screening. Ms. Abbott asked if there would be another opportunity to review the proposal. Unidentified Women, 6315 Colony Way, asked if there were any guarantee the parking would be built. She questioned whether people will be able to cross France Avenue after the construction. Council Discussion/ Action Mayor Maetzold asked if the Council wished to close the public hearing. Member Johnson made a motion to close the public hearing. No second. Member Johnson withdrew his motion for lack of second. Member Kelly stated he did not support the hospital expansion as proposed. Member Faust asked if there was a height restriction on the ramp and if the hospital increased the traffic on Drew Avenue could they be required to install sidewalk on Drew? Mr. Larsen answered the parking structure could have three additional levels added in the future He added it could be recommended that the hospital participate in the cost of installing sidewalk. Manager Hughes said that sidewalk could be looked at now and added as a condition of approval. Member Faust stated that she believed if the hospital is creating a problem, they should be required to solve it. Member Hovland commented the expansion is extremely complex. He indicated he had concerns with traffic related issues. Mr. Hoffman explained that it has been intended to bring traffic from Valley View to the proposed parking structure. This would attempt to keep the parking traffic off France Avenue. Guidance signs would be installed on the Crosstown Highway. Mr. Preston of BRW added the traffic has been analyzed and it is the hospitals desire to divert as much traffic from France Avenue as possible. He noted that perhaps 30-35% Page 11 � 1 Minutes/Edina City Council/ February 15, 2000 hospital traffic comes from the west and will be directed to Valley View Road. He added that about 36% of the traffic comes from the east and it was hoped to direct them onto 66th and Drew using lights and intersection improvements to move traffic off France. Member Hovland stated he continued to be troubled by the statistics shown in the traffic analysis. Mayor Maetzold said he could not be at the March 21, 2000, Council meeting and since it seemed more discussion of this issue was needed; he suggested the item be carried over until April 4, 2000. Consensus of the Council was to carry the item over to April 4, 2000. Linda Schmidt, 6483 Barrie Road, said she frequently travels on Valley View and she is concerned that increased traffic will cause traffic back-up onto the freeway. Member Johnson moved to continue the public hearing until April 4, 2000, and to grant the City a sixty day extension from action until, May 11, 2000. Member Kelly stated he was opposed to granting a 60 -day extension from action. He continued adding he could support a hospital expansion, however, in his estimation, the proposal makes a bad situation worse. He suspects the site will be overbuilt. Member Kelly said he found nothing aesthetically appealing for the Highway 62/France major city intersection. The landscaping proposed was poor and the set of variances requested very ambitious. He challenged the architects to redo their design and come up with answers to the concerns expressed by Council and citizens and urged them to not only address the hospital's desires, but also the communities'. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Johnson, Maetzold Nay: Kelly Motion carried. PRELIMINARY REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVED, FRAUENSHUH COMPANIES, NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF HIGHWAY 169 & I-494 Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Mr. Larsen explained the subject property is approximately 13 acres and zoned Planned Office District, POD -1. The property is vacant. Its northerly 75 feet are subject to an NSP easement for an overhead transmission line. The central portion of the site contains a pond covered by an easement in favor of the state highway department and a large portion of the site is impacted by wetlands and flood plain. Mr. Larsen noted the City of Edina owns the property having acquired it from the FDIC in 1991. He said the City has entered into a purchase agreement with the Frauenshuh Company to acquire and develop the property. The site became part of the City of Edina as a result of a land exchange with the City of Bloomington that included portions of the Raddison South Page 12 Ali WHEREAS, the Cou it considered the extent the vacation affects existing easements within the area of the vacatio nd the extent to which the vacation affects the authority of any person, corporation, or muni . ality owning or controlling electric, telephone or cable television poles and lines, gas a d sewer lines, or water pipes, mains, and hydrants on or under the area of the proposed va Hon to continue maintaining the same, or to enter upon such easement area or portion ih eof vacated to maintain, repair, replace, remove or otherwise attend thereto; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RO] Hennepin County, Minnesota, that the 1 drainage easements are hereby vacated of All drainage and utility easements, contained within the following.

RESOLUTION 2000-38 ADOPTED APPROVING NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR NEED OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT; FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN & CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CONTINUED UNTIL APRIL 18, 2000 FAIRVIEW SOUTHDALE HOSPITAL BUILDING EXPANSION AND PARKING RAMP CONSTRUCTION (6401 FRANCE AVENUE SOUTH) Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Page 2 41 Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2000 Presentation by Planner Planner Larsen stated there were three items requiring action all related to the proposed expansion of the hospital, the added medical office space, and the parking ramp proposed west of France Avenue. At the first hearing for the hospital expansion, the comment period for the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was still open so the hearing was continued. Mr. Larsen explained the EAW, was a study of the impact of the development, to ascertain whether a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would be needed. The hospital voluntarily completed the EAW, prepared by BRW, at the request of City staff. The EAW's 30 day comment period for the draft document ended on March 8, 2000. All comments received on the EAW were sent to the Council. The Council was also sent a response to the comments, that lists some findings of fact, supporting a negative declaration, meaning that no EIS would be necessary. Mr. Larsen stated that if the Council decided to support the negative declaration, they would be able to act on the local zoning requests consisting of a Final Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit. The Final Development Plan would allow the expansion of the hospital on the east side of France Avenue. The Conditional Use Permit would allow the hospital to construct a four -level parking structure on the west side of France Avenue connected by a skyway to the hospital. Mr. Larsen noted that a major part of the EAW was a traffic study. He introduced Rick Nau of BRW who would review the traffic study, its findings, and BRW's recommendations. Proponent Comment Richard Nau, BRW, Traffic Consultant for Fairview Southdale reviewed the Fairview Southdale and Southdale Medical Office Building (MOB) Traffic Study. Mr. Nau said the traffic study included the following elements: • Counts of 1999 existing traffic volumes • Estimate background traffic growth between 1999 and 2005 • Estimate traffic generated by hospital and Southdale MOB expansions • Analyze traffic operations with and without expansion traffic • Determine needed roadway improvements Member Faust asked which medical office building Mr. Nau was referring to in his report; the proposed Fairview expansion or the office building owned by Northco. Mr. Nau said he was referring to the office building owned by Northco. The report included both the expansion of Fairview Hospital and the Southdale Medical Office Building (MOB) owned by Northco. Mr. Nau stated it was determined that the hospital expansion would generate an additional 330 trips per day or a 55% increase and the MOB expansion would generate 264 trips per day or a 45% increase in area traffic. Mr. Nau displayed a graphic illustration of the estimated traffic impact on area intersections after the expansions, showing increases ranging from 2% to 12% by the year 2005, with the intersection at West 6501 Street and France Avenue receiving the largest increase at 12%. He explained that increases over 5% were significant. Mr. Nau noted that existing traffic operating deficiencies included close intersection spacing resulting in lack of stacking distance at ramp meters; and a lack of signalization that results in cross street traffic delays. These deficiencies will remain after the expansion and the additional traffic generated will warrant more signalization of the area. Proposed hospital related mitigation measures would include: Page 3 A'(00 Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2000 • New guide signs on TH 62 directing westbound hospital traffic to exit at Xerxes Avenue • New guide signs on TH 62 directing eastbound hospital traffic to exit at Valley View Road • Installation of a signal at the intersection of the Valley View ramp to TH 62 • Installation of a signal and reconfiguration of intersection to allow through and left turn movement on all four approaches at Valley View and West 65th Street • Widen Drew Avenue to 40 feet to accommodate three lanes. Mr. Nau added the intent of the proposed mitigation measures would be to bring traffic into the hospital and MOB through Xerxes Avenue and Valley View Road attempting to keep it off France Avenue. Member Hovland asked about MnDOT's comment over lack of a.m. traffic data in the study. Mr. Nau said this was discussed with MnDOT. He said the hospital is generating more traffic during the p.m. peak hour than during the a.m. peak hour. The traffic associated with the hospital does not actually coincide with the peak hours; that is, work shifts of 7-3. For this reason, a.m. traffic data was not collected. Mr. Nau reported that after this review MnDOT was satisfied with the data provided. Member Hovland asked if there was any expectation that MnDOT would be resistant to the proposed new signage, or the curb cut and signalization at Valley View for the eastbound traffic. Mr. Nau replied that no significant resistance from MnDOT was anticipated relative to the proposed signage. He said that concern was expressed about the curb cut and will reserve judgement until a plan is submitted for their approval, however, in Mr. Nau's opinion this is still a viable solution. Member Hovland asked Mr. Nau if he had any traffic projections for volumes when the recommended mitigation measures were put into place. Mr. Nau replied that the volumes would change to some extent, but not a great deal because most of the percentage increases are relatively low. Member Hovland asked if there were other long range traffic measures that should be investigated in case of additional medical facility expansion in that quadrant. Mr. Nau said he could not comment unless he had a proposal to analyze. Member Faust expressed concern that the traffic study did not include peak a.m. traffic counts. She also asked who would pay for the recommended traffic mitigation measures such as the signals, and if sidewalks were still proposed for installation on Drew Avenue. Member Faust asked if there would still be room to install sidewalks if Drew Avenue were widened to three lanes. Member Kelly asked if Mr. Nau could comment on proposed funding of all the recommended traffic mitigation improvements. Mr. Nau replied that he did believe that there would be room for sidewalks on Drew Avenue and he stated that his traffic study did not address the funding of any of the proposed mitigation measures. He stated his assumption that because the streets involved are state aid streets there should be some funding available, but that a portion of the costs would need to be paid for locally, and that determination would be the Council's. Member Kelly added that he shared the concerns expressed earlier about the lack of peak a.m. traffic data, especially since there are indications that additional development may occur in the area. Secondly, funding of the needed improvements must be discussed. Member Kelly also Page 4 4 1 o Minutes/Edina City Council/Apri14, 2000 noted his concern about storm water run off. He added the Council has dealt with storm water throughout his tenure. MnDOT said they were very concerned about run off, and he noted this was not mentioned in the response to comments, however, it was stated that the net impervious area would decrease. Would this decrease include the parking structure. Mr. Hoffman explained that the run off from the west side of France would be directed to a new pipe directly down to the pond and would not go into any MnDOT pipes. In his experience in the France Avenue interchange, if a 12 -inch rainfall occurs some flooding will happen, but otherwise it should not be a problem. Member Johnson questioned how BRW could propose to install a signal at the eastbound ramp of TH 62 and West 65th Street in light of the March 8, 2000, MnDOT letter opposing the proposed eastbound signal at West 65th Street. Mr. Nau said that the plan has been reviewed by MnDOT and will require their approval, which BRW believes will be granted. Mr. Nau said that providing a signal and cued detection device to prevent traffic backing up on TH 62 would allay the MnDOT concern. Member Johnson asked if any consideration had been giving to providing direct access from TH 62 to the parking facility similar to downtown Minneapolis's Target Center exits. Mr. Nau responded that this had not been considered. He added that the downtown facilities are public not private such as the proposed hospital ramp. Mr. Nau said that he believed a direct access would not be consistent with MnDOT's policy relative to access to trunk highways. Mayor Maetzold asked if the proposed widening of the exit ramp from TH 62 eastbound that link with Valley View Road would necessitate filling the holding pond on Valley View. Mr. Nau replied that at this time there has not been detailed engineering, but a cursory look at the air photos indicated that it could fit within the existing right-of-way. Mayor Maetzold continued asking if encroachment into the pond became necessary would that be considered a significant environmental event. Mr. Nau hesitated to give a definitive answer, but suggested that it would most likely be a minor incursion into a storm water holding pond. Member Faust asked if an additional lane off the eastbound TH 62 had been considered. Mr. Hoffman explained that this additional lane was already planned by the City's consultant SRF to widen the ramp. He added this improvement would be done in conjunction with the improvement of Valley View Road by the pond. He added that the pond should not be impacted by any proposed improvements to the Valley View interchange. Mark Enger, Fairview Hospital Administrator, 6401 France Avenue South, said that as a result of discussions with City staff, the City Council, citizen input, and Fairview's development staff, the hospital listened to and attempted to respond to most of the questions. Mr. Enger said that changes have occurred in how hospitals deliver service to patients. Reimbursements for charges have changed. Technological advances have greatly changed patient services. The focus has shifted from in-patient care to more ambulatory based services. He added that there are procedures being performed at Fairview Southdale that two years ago were not dreamed of. Patients are being discharged on the day of service that five years ago would have spent seven days in the hospital after the procedure. One in three households in Edina has an elderly member. There has been a great increase in demand for cardiovascular care. Three years ago Fairview began planning in response to the health care needs. Mr. Enger stated that in 1998, expansion plans were begun looking at every vertical and horizontal possibility to fit expansion on a very tight hospital campus. Mr. Enger noted that the first option was to expand southerly, but the hospital could not come to terms with the other principal so they had to look at other options. He noted there are many medical office buildings on France Avenue and suggested that Page 5 A t 0 Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2000 the proposed medical office building expansion be viewed not as a MOB, but as a heart/vascular care center. This center will allow Edina to offer state-of-the-art care to its residents. Mr. Enger said the hospital is prepared to install sidewalks at Drew Avenue and West 651h Street. They have decided to build the parking ramp at the same time as the other Phase I expansion. Their contractor, Knutson, has arranged for workers' parking off-site and not on city streets. Fairview has contracted 430 parking spots at Southdale by Key Cadillac for ten months and intends to shuttle hospital employees during construction. He concluded urging the Council to move forward. Richard Dahl, BWBR Architects, Fairview Southdale's architects took over the presentation. Mr. Dahl used graphics to demonstrate the design changes made in response to comments received earlier. The redesigned project has redistributed the green space on the east side of France, bringing it out as a well -landscaped edge to the campus. On the west side of France Avenue the ramp has been pushed north increasing the green space which will be bermed and landscaped to 40 feet. The variance on West 65th Street was eliminated, however, there is a 0 lot line variance necessary on the north side bordering the Crosstown Highway. Mr. Dahl showed a sample of the textured concrete that will be the exterior material of the ramp. The ramp will also use glass and aluminum wall for a portion of its exterior. He presented the proposed design of the skyway over France Avenue. Member Kelly asked if any signage was proposed for the skyway. Mr. Enger replied that the Skyway would not have any signage. Dr. Karen Porth, 6363 Fairview Physicians Office Building, Fairview Hospital Chief of Staff, urged the Council to approve the expansion plans. She reported an increased need for medical staff and technology to improve patient care. Dr. Porth said there has been a large increase in heart and vascular illness as our population ages. Technological advances also have increased the amount of procedures available to care for patients. Physicians and patients want this care available to them in an integrated facility and Fairview must expand to meet this need. Fairview has a wonderful group of physicians committed to serving patient needs, but to stay competitive and retain these physicians they must expand. Mr. Enger concluded thanking the Council for the time and urged Council move the expansion plans forward as soon as possible. Public Comment Bruce Carlson, owner of Southdale Medical Building, stated he wanted to present their future plans. Currently Mr. Carlson said his building is at fifty percent capacity for the allowed floor area ratio (FAR) under Edina's zoning code. Mr. Carlson indicated that he intends to expand up to sixty-nine percent of the allowed FAR. He said he supported the hospital's request for expansion. Mr. Carlson showed graphic boards depicting a conceptual potential expansion of his medical office building. It would include a 69,000 square foot office expansion with 75 underground parking spaces and a 1/2 half level ramp addition. The proposed three-story building would permit the Minnesota Heart Group to occupy the entire first floor. Mr. Carlson indicated that his building is presently 95% occupied and he is not currently before the Council with an expansion request. He added he supported the hospital's expansion, but wished that Fairview Southdale would allow the Southdale Medical Office Building to expand. Page 6 Gay Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2000 Norbert Weninger, 6566 France Avenue South, Board Chair, Point of France, reviewed the points made in his letter to the Council. Mr. Weninger pointed out the ramp and expansion will increase traffic that is already a nightmare. He added the height of the ramp is of great concern to the fifty residents who have homes facing the ramp. Point of France residents' other concern include the exterior surface of the parking ramp, surface water runoff, and the precedent set by allowing a skyway. Elmer Johnson, 6566 France Avenue, Point of France resident, for twenty years asked if the hospital's ramp could be depressed into the ground. Bob Clinton, 6712 Rosemary Lane, asked if the proposed ramp will be free or a pay to park ramp. Mike Callas, 4930 West 77th Street, Edina Chamber of Commerce, stated he was representing Pat Tucker. Mr. Callas explained the Chamber understood the issues and concerns, however they still support the proposed expansion. He read the following Chamber resolution into the record: "EDINA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Fairview Southdale 2000-2002 Expansion Project WHEREAS, Fairview Southdale Hospital is the Twin Cities' eighth largest hospital and has a reputation for outstanding patient care; and WHEREAS, Fairview Southdale Hospital, a non-profit organization, is Edina's largest year-round employer at more than 2000 employees, a good steward of the Edina Community and committed to meeting the needs of its immediate service area; and WHEREAS, the demographics of the Edina area point to increased demands for cardiovascular services. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Edina Chamber of Commerce does hereby support the Fairview Southdale 2000-2002 Expansion Project to increase its capacity to serve patients, families and the community. Adopted by the Edina Chamber of Commerce the 15th day of March, 2000." Hugh Thompson, 6301 Colony Way, stated he had two concerns. The first is traffic which is horrendous and secondly, what is the purpose of the surveying on Drew and 65th Street Bill Bellows, 6566 France Avenue, asked about what type of greenery was planned for the parking structure's roof. Mr. Bellows also expressed concern over reflection from the aluminum used in the skyway and glass wall design of the elevator and atrium. Laurel Thompson, 6301 Colony Way, added she was concerned about all the costs incurred by the proposed expansion. Ms. Thompson asked who would pay for the building. Mayor Maetzold explained the hospital was responsible for any building expansion. The only costs to be decided would be any needed public improvements, such as streets, sidewalks, etc. Iver Ross, 7504 Colony Way, said that he has an office in the 4010 Building and many times now it takes 15 minutes to get home. Mr. Ross said the Colony already has problems with outside cars on their private street. Council Discussion/ Actio Member Hovland made a motion seconded by Member Johnson to close the public hearing. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Johnson, Kelly, Maetzold Motion carried. Page 7 41,01 Minutes/Edina City CounciVApril 4, 2000 Mayor Maetzold asked if the hospital had considered building the parking structure underground and why if there are no plans to go higher is the ramp being oversized in the plans. Mr. Enger replied that it would have added over $1,000,000 to the cost of the ramp to build one level of the ramp underground. He added that while at this time the proposed expansion would serve the hospital for many years, they want to maintain the flexibility of further expansion if it becomes necessary in the future. Member Faust asked if a variance would be required to add to the ramp in the future. Mr. Larsen said that any future expansion to the ramp would require conditional use permit approval in the future, even without any need for a variance. Member Hovland asked about the lighting proposed for the ramp. Mr. Dahl said that the lighting would be downcast and the fixtures would be cut off fixtures to keep the light confined within the ramp to avoid any glare at Point of France. He added the lights could be directed northward also. Member Faust asked if all levels of the ramp would have handicapped access, whether security issues have been looked at with such a parking ramp and if employees will be charged to park in the ramp. Mr. Dahl said that there will be handicapped parking stalls clustered on each level of the ramp near the elevator. He added that his firm has designed a number of parking ramps and a number of security measures are rolled into each design. He said that his firm follows guidance during the design stage from a Minneapolis ordinance developed to deal specifically with such security issues. Mr. Enger added that the hospital currently has 24-hour security and may need to add more resources when this expansion occurs. He informed the Council that hospital employees will be charged at a modest rate to park in the ramp. Mayor Maetzold asked how to ensure the Drew Avenue sidewalks are made a part of the project Mr. Hughes answered that the sidewalk installation could be made a condition of the approval or Council could direct City staff to come back and hold a project hearing for the purpose of installing the improvement and assessing the cost to benefited property owners. Mayor Maetzold asked about the larger issue of requiring the hospital to pay a portion of the traffic improvements identified for the area. Mr. Hoffman explained that only portions of the improvements would be state aid eligible. He said that West 651h Street from Valley View is not a state aid street, so no gas tax funds could be used for that leg of the intersection improvements. He proposed that possible sources of funds would come from MnDOT for ramp improvements, gas tax on state aid street, special assessments to larger area, and a specified amount to be assigned to the ramp because of its location and impact on the surrounding area. Mr. Hughes explained that three legs of the intersection would be eligible for state aid funding and one would not. So one-fourth of the total cost must be funded locally as a special assessment to an area determined to be benefited from the improvement Member Faust asked if the one-fourth share for the installation of the two stop lights would be around $100,000. Mr. Hoffman said that no feasibility has been done, but that could be a rough estimate. Member Hovland asked about potential costs of signalizing Xerxes Avenue and 641h Street. Mr. Hoffman said that again a portion could be funded through state aid and the rest would be local funding. He added this signal also involves Richfield. Member Hovland continued asking about the France Avenue bridge deck over the Crosstown Highway. Mr. Hoffman said this project currently is entirely funded by MnDOT, Hennepin County and the City. Page 8 A JO) Minutes/Edina City Counciy/April 4, 2000 Member Faust asked how an assessment might be calculated for widening of Drew Avenue. Mr. Hoffman said that would be determined by the Council. An assessment could be either a front foot or an area assessment. Mayor Maetzold asked if the Council should become involved in the exterior finish of the parking ramp and landscaping in light of the Point of France residents' concerns. Mr. Hughes answered that Council could as part of the final development plan approval, specify building materials and to the extent that it pleases the Council to have said materials presented. He added that the City has typically not become involved in the colors, but has requested certain types of materials be used for exterior finishes. Mr. Hughes said that landscaping is also a part of final development plan approval. The Council may specify the type and or size of plantings they would like to see. He reminded the Council that developers must post landscaping bonds to ensure compliance with their approved plans. Member Hovland asked about Mr. Weninger's concern about storm water from the ramp flowing into Point of France's pond. Mr. Hoffman explained that would not happen, that the storm water would flow into a pipe directed further west along Valley View, leaving less water actually getting to the Point of France pond. Member Johnson asked if procedurally the Council should become involved in the details as raised this evening when either approving or denying such a request. He added that he still has concern about traffic issues and who is planning to pay for the improvements discussed this evening. Member Johnson indicated that he supported the hospital's expansion project, but wants assurance that the details will be taken care when approval is given. Mayor Maetzold noted these are very legitimate concerns. He said that perhaps the expansion of the hospital will act as a catalyst starting some necessary improvements in the area. Mayor Maetzold added that he drives France Avenue daily and in his experience at 7:00 a.m., there is not a problem with traffic. However, from 2:30 p.m. and later, gridlock is a problem in the area. Member Kelly stated he has a number of comments. He thanked the hospital for responding to concerns raised earlier. Elimination of the 65th Street variance and the addition of green space, changing the time of the ramp construction and providing additional ramp design were laudable. He stated he appreciated all the changes that indicate the hospital development team has listened and responded. Member Kelly also stated that he thinks everyone agrees that the hospital is a very important and valuable asset to the community; and expansion should go forward on this site. The question is what expansion should be approved and how should it look. Member Kelly voiced concern over the collateral impact of approving the expansion. He expressed grave concern over how all the pieces fit together and their impact on the entire area of the City. This has been Member Kelly's concern all along. Are the traffic solutions proposed today, solutions that will address continued growth in the particular area and the development that is contemplated from the Crosstown to the Galleria. Member Kelly stated that the Council must be responsible and take a global look at development in that particular area because it has already seen one additional plan come forward. He added that Southdale has been kicking around various plans and he would be reluctant to pursue development in a piecemeal fashion, not considering the collateral effect of such development Member Kelly said he was deeply concerned that the collateral effect of the development has not been studied. In particular, he said that no a.m. traffic counts had been done. He said that addressing developer costs in the assessment period would be akin to closing the barn door after the horse is gone. In order to adequately address development, you must address how the costs are going to be covered in the Page 9 ft q Minutes&dina City Council/April 4, 2000 non state aid areas. Everyone has differing views of what the hospital's fair share of the improvement would be and waiting until the assessment leaves the City open to legal challenges if the hospital determines they are being unduly burdened. However, if an agreement is reached while working out the conditional use permit, the City avoids any further potential disagreement down the line. Member Kelly said that an agreement is needed prior to granting approval, and more detail is also needed on the traffic counts prior to approval. Member Kelly said that he did not want his comments interpreted as meaning that he thought the proposed expansion was a poorly designed landscape plan, or that he does not favor expansion in the area. However, he stated that as discussed earlier; the Council should pause and study the area from the Galleria to the Crosstown, knowing that there will be expansion of medical and retail uses in the area. It should be found out how the pieces best fit together comprehensively. For this reason he would not support approval at this time, what he favors instead is taking some time to really study the area comprehensively. If, however, the Council decides to move forward he urged that they consider in the Conditional Use Permit the material and landscaping approval discussed, and make sure no signage be allowed on the skyway. Member Faust stated her main concern is the parking ramp and the Point of France residents. She said she believed the plans, as presented, for the parking ramp are very preliminary. The Council has not seen a definitive ramp plan and that should be presented before any approval is granted. Member Faust said that looking at the overall development in the area should have been done twenty years ago. She agreed it will be hard to develop further in this area because of all the traffic issues, but changing development standards now seems counter-productive. Member Hovland said he believes the core problem is traffic just like in many other parts of the City. However, the hospital is not the generator of most of the traffic. Hindsight says that better planning twenty years ago would leave us with more options. However, the City must do the best it can with what is available in a compressed area. Personally, Member Hovland thinks the hospital has come up with good ideas in a tight area. He likes the parking ramp on the west side of France Avenue with the skyway across to the hospital. He agrees with no signage being allowed on the skyway. Member Hovland stated that conditions should be inserted into the conditional use permit or developer's agreement covering: landscape plan being satisfactory to staff, making sure that lighting is appropriately downcast to protect neighbors, and that the exterior building materials and skyway design be incorporated into the an agreement with the hospital. He said that issues involving state aid, gas tax, or special assessments, could be dealt with subsequent in time to approving the project Member Hovland asked staff if the entire area of the project could be defined and then the allocation of cost dealt with later, so as not to make it a condition of approving the final development plan or conditional use permit. Mr. Hughes said he thought that separating the improvements made sense because they are all off-site of the hospital campus. They are part of intersections the City controls and the issue later becomes allocation of the cost of the improvements. Mayor Maetzold asked if the cost allocation could be done based upon the number of employees. Mr. Hughes replied he had never heard of that formula, but a close corollary would be assessments levied based upon floor area instead of lot area. Member Hovland acknowledged the concerns of Point of France and said they could be addressed. However, he questioned whether the City could regulate the structure of the parking ramp foundation. Member Hovland said he believed the Comprehensive Plan has already been put into place with one area of concern, Southdale. He said the quadrant where all the medical buildings are located may in the future become an even more expanded medical facility and maybe that entire expansion would be great news for the entire community. Member Hovland Page 10 A10-7 Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2000 added that he thought the expansion of the hospital was fantastic, that perhaps Fairview would become a regional medical center. Member Hovland acknowledged traffic is a problem to be resolved. As future developments come forward the Council's job will be to review each project He expressed concern over the Southdale shopping area. However, if the medical quadrant continues to grow, perhaps an extended stay hotel will develop or some additional shopping capabilities for Southdale. Perhaps the medical quadrant could even become a mini "Mayo". Member Hovland believes that conditions could be placed upon approvals protecting Point of France, which the developer has indicated being amenable to, so he favored moving forward. Mayor Maetzold agreed with Member Hovland. He also agreed with Member Kelly's concern for France Avenue. Mayor Maetzold supported moving ahead with the hospital expansion at this time. He suggested that Member Kelly's suggestion of more comprehensive plan of the area, however, be pursued with the City's Vision 20/20 planning process. Member Johnson asked a procedural question about the action required. He wanted to know if a list of conditions could be attached to the approvals. Mayor Maetzold asked staff if the conditions could be contained under the final development plan and conditional use permit. Mr. Hughes responded that the Council should either approve or deny the resolution on the EAW, then conditions with respect to cost of surrounding street system would be best addressed with the final development plan, and any conditions dealing with the ramp should be part of the conditional use permit. Member Kelly asked for clarification from the City Attorney on the best method of handling the cost issues associated with the development. Attorney Boelter said that perhaps traffic issues should be attached to both the final development plan and the conditional use permit. Member Faust interjected that she wanted to see a parking ramp design, not just the potential materials. Motion by Member Hovland, seconded by Member Johnson introducing the following resolution and moving its approval: RESOLUTION NO. 2000-38 CITY OF EDINA A RESOLUTION APPROVING NEGATIVE DECLARATION WHEREAS, Fairview Southdale Hospital is the proposer of the project consisting of a 174,000 square foot expansion to the west and north of the existing facility, a four -level, 970 -vehicle parking ramp west of France Avenue, and an east/west connection via a skyway, located in the city of Edina (the "City"); and WHEREAS, the city of Edina is the Responsible Governmental Unit pursuant to Minnesota Rules Part 4410.0500, and WHEREAS, the EAW was prepared using the form approved by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board for EAW's in accordance with Minnesota Rules 4410.1300; and WHEREAS, in accordance with Minnesota Rules 4410.1500, the EAW was completed and distributed on January 31, 2000 to all persons and agencies on the official Environmental Quality Board distribution list; and WHEREAS, the notification of the EAW was published in the Minnesota EQB Monitor on February 7, 2000, and WHEREAS, the public review and comment period remained open until March 8, 2000, and WHEREAS, the comments on the EAW were received and responded to, and WHEREAS, this decision is made in compliance with the time schedule provided in Minnesota Rules 4410.1700; and Page 11 A A Minutes/Edina City Council/April 4, 2000 WHEREAS, the record considered by the City Council for purposes of it decision herein consists of the EAW, related reports and analysis; the comments received thereon, and the responses to such comments, all of which are incorporated herein and made a part of this decision; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, acting with respect to the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the Fairview Southdale Medical Campus Expansion, that it finds and concludes the following: 1. The EAW was prepared in compliance with the procedures of the Minnesota Policy Act and Minnesota Rules, Parts 4410.1000 to 4410.1700, and 2. The EAW satisfactorily addressed all of the issues for which existing information could have been reasonably obtained; and 3. The findings of fact contained in Exhibit A (attached) are made; and 4. Based on criteria established in Minnesota Rules 4410.1700, and the findings of fact, the Project does not have a potential for significant environmental effects; and 5. An Environmental Impact Statement is not required, and the City of Edina therefore makes a "Negative Declaration". Adopted by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota this 41h day of April, 2000. Roll call: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Johnson, Maetzold Nay: Kelly Resolution adopted on a 4-1 vote. Member Hovland made a motion to approve the final development plan and conditional use permit. Mayor Maetzold seconded the motion. Motion died. Member Johnson suggested that conditions be attached to the approval, by either amendment or delay. He stated he wants to see the conditions and wants them well thought out Member Hovland said that in the past the Council has crafted the conditions at the final hearing. Member Kelly stated he did not see how the cost issues can be addressed at this time and that he had previously pointed out the flaws of moving to a special assessment improvement. Member Hovland asked Members Kelly and Johnson how they would suggest an agreement be reached with the hospital on the cost allocation. Member Kelly said that after the costs are known; a reasonable apportionment be mutually agreed upon with all concerned parties. If this is not done, during the assessment process the City is open to legal challenges. Member Hovland asked why not use the special assessment process to ascertain the allocation. He said he felt the approval should be moved forward and let the special assessment process take care of the allocation of the improvement costs. Otherwise, in his opinion there would be an unfair delay to the hospital. He stated that he felt it would be more fair to use the due process of a special assessment project Member Kelly disagreed, stating that taxpayers could be subjected to additional expenses of legal defense of an assessment Mayor Maetzold stated he agreed with Member Hovland that the special assessment process should be allowed to take care of the cost allocation. If approval is delayed two weeks there would still be others who should have a share of the cost that would not be able to be brought into the mix. In Mayor Maetzold's opinion following a special assessment process would be the most equitable way to proceed. Member Kelly stated he was not advocating the hospital pay more than a fair share, just that the share be decided before any approval. Member Johnson noted that Mr. Enger had stated earlier he would be willing to work with the City in paying a fair portion of the needed improvements. He suggested that City staff work with the hospital to achieve an agreement for cost apportionment Member Johnson said that he would be prepared to vote on the expansion at the next Council Page 12 mo A Minutes/Edina City CounciMApril 4, 2000 meeting if something can be agreed to between the City and the hospital. Member Faust asked that the Drew Avenue sidewalk be included in the discussion. Member Kelly made a motion continuing action until April 18, 2000, on the final development plan and conditional use permit request of Fairview Southdale Hospital and directing staff: to negotiate a cost sharing agreement with respect to the improvements at Valley View Road and West 65th Street, and Drew Avenue; to provide additional details as to the ramp design, and to develop the conditions necessary for said approvals. Member Faust seconded the motion. Member Johnson stated he would support the motion, however, he did not want to dictate materials, etc. to the hospital. Member Hovland noted that a month ago when he saw this plan he was very concerned about costs. His first impression was that the hospital should pay all the costs. However, upon further reflection, he decided using the special assessment method would be better. Mr. Enger asked that Southdale Medical Center be made a part of any cost sharing negotiation involving the proposed improvements. Mayor Maetzold told Mr. Enger that this would be decided upon by City staff. Ayes: Faust, Johnson, Kelly Nay: Hovland, Maetzold Motion carried on a 3-2 vote. *RESOLUTION NO. 2000-39 LOT DIVISION APPROVED FOR 5000 AND 5004 KELSEY TERRACE (CARL HANSEN) Motion made by Member Johnson and seconded by Member Hovland approving the following resolution: RESOLUTION 2000-39 WHEREAS, the following described properties are at present single tracts of land: Lots 18 and 19, Block 2, PARKWOOD KNOLLS 24TH ADDITION, according to the recorded plat thereof, situated in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

RESOLUTION 2000-53 ADOPTED APPROVING FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR FAIRVIEW SOUTHDALE HOSPITAL (6401 FRANCE AVENUE SOUTH) BUILDING EXPANSION AND PARKING RAMP AND RESOLUTION 2000-54 ADOPTED APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PARKING STRUCTURE Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Planner Larsen said that after the April 4, 2000, public hearing Fairview Hospital responded to the concerns raised by the Council by: Page 3 J' q I Minutes/Edina City Council/May 2, 2000 • BRW, Inc. conducted a.m. traffic counts in order to compare them to the p.m. counts used for their original study. The counts demonstrated that p.m. counts were higher than a.m. counts and were appropriate to use for the study. • Submitted a revised landscaping plan illustrating additional and larger stock than what had been offered in writing at the April 4, 2000, meeting. • Project architects have done additional work on design and materials for the proposed ramp. • Two phases for road improvements. ♦ Phase 1 would be a widening of Drew Avenue to accommodate three traffic lanes and a six-foot sidewalk on the west side of the street between 65th and 66th Street. The sidewalk would be pavers to tie into the 66th Street sidewalk. Southdale Medical's owners have agreed to grant the necessary sidewalk easement. Funding for Phase 1 would be 100% through special assessment to the hospital, Southdale Medical, and the medical office building at 6363 France Avenue. The assessment would be allocated on a floor area basis. The estimated project cost is $155,000.00 ♦ Phase 2 would be the reconstruction of West 65th Street west of France Avenue and the reconstruction of the intersection of Valley View Road and West 65th Street. The project would include an expansion of the ramp, addition of signals, reconstruction of the intersection and rehabilitation of the pavement. The West 65th portion of the improvement is not a municipal state aid street so it would be funded by a 100% assessment. This portion of the project is estimated at $194,000. The remainder of proposed improvements are estimated at $950,000.00 with approximately $712,500.00 eligible for state aid funding leaving an additional $237,500.00 to be assessed. The hospital, Southdale Medical, the medical office building at 6363 France Avenue, and all properties abutting West 65th Street between France Avenue and Valley View Road would be included in the assessment area for this improvement. • Fairview Southdale Hospital and the owner of the medical office building at 7373 France Avenue have agreed to waive their right of appeal for any special assessment that does not exceed the Engineer's estimate, retaining the right to appeal any portion of an assessment exceeding the same. Member Johnson asked why only the hospital was used in calculating the floor area, not the parking structure. Mr. Hughes explained that the City views the parking structure as an accessory building to the hospital. For this reason the parking structure was not used in calculating the special assessments the hospital would be responsible for. Mr. Larsen reviewed the suggested conditions for approval of both the Final Development Plan and the Conditional Use Permit as follows: Final Development Plan Conditions: 1. Watershed District Permits. 2. Landscaping Plan dated, 4/20/00 and bond. 3. Exterior materials shall be brick, marble and glass matching materials on hospital. Page 4 API Minutes/Edina City Council/May 2, 2000 4. Agreement by hospital and the owners of 6363 France Avenue to waive their right of appeal of special assessments for off-site improvements subject to term of the agreement signed by all parties and on file at City Hall. Conditional Use Permit Conditions: 1. Design and materials detailed on ramp plan as presented May 2, 2000 to City Council. 2. Landscaping Plan dated, 4/20/00 and bond. 3. All lighting in parking structure and on the site containing the structure shall be shaded so as to concentrate illumination on-site and within the structure. 4. No signage on the skyway. Proponent Presentation Richard Dahl, BWBR Architects, reviewed the revised plans, using graphics and actual samples of the materials intended for use in the ramp. Mr. Dahl explained the stair tower curtain wall will be clear anodized aluminum and green tinted glazing. The elevator tower will be brick, matching the hospital. This will be covered by a clear anodized aluminum fascia and soffit. The ramp will consist of poured in place concrete walls with sand textured acrylic coating. The wall adjacent to the brick elevator tower and curtain wall will be light taupe with the span of the building a combination of light and dark taupe. The columns will be cast in place concrete painted a dark earth tone. Mr. Dahl also reviewed the proposed landscaping and berm. Member Faust expressed her disappointment with the design as proposed. She stated she had specifically asked that the parking structure design complement the existing and proposed hospital. Member Faust stated that in her opinion the designers had not done as requested. Member Hovland and Mayor Maetzold disagreed with Member Faust. They stated that in their opinions and experience the proposed design was a good attempt at blending the new hospital addition and ramp with existing buildings and designs. Member Kelly stated in his opinion the hospital proposal is an over building of the site and he still would have liked to seen a more comprehensive study of the area before proceeding. However, he believes that the hospital is a good citizen and good for the community. Member Hovland introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION 2000-53 APPROVING FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN BE IT RESOLVED by the Edina City Council that the Final Development Plan revision dated May 2, 2000, for Fairview Southdale Medical Center, Fairview Health Services, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, located at 6401 France Avenue presented at the regular meeting of the City Council on May 2, 2000, be and is hereby approved conditioned upon: 1. Watershed District Permits. 2. Landscaping Plan dated, 4/20/00 and bond. 3. Exterior materials shall be brick, marble and glass matching materials on hospital. 4. Agreement by hospital and the owners of 6363 France Avenue to waive their right of appeal of special assessments for off-site improvements subject to terms of the agreement signed by all parties and on file at City Hall. Member Johnson seconded the motion. Page 5 Av'2 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 2, 2000 Rollcall: Ayes: Hovland, Johnson, Kelly, Maetzold Nay: Faust Motion carried. Member Johnson made a motion introducing the following resolution and moving its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2000-54 GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO FAIRVIEW HEALTH SERVICES PARKING STRUCTURE WHEREAS, the procedural requirements of Code Section 850 (the Zoning Ordinance) have been met; and WHEREAS, it has been determined that the Findings as required by Code Section No. 850.04 Subd. 4 have been satisfied: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council hereby grants a Conditional Use Permit to Fairview Health Services conditioned upon the following: 1.
