AUTHORIZING HENNEPIN COUNTY GRANT APPLICATION FOR NEW MEDICAL
OFFICE BUILDING LOCATED AT 7700 FRANCE AVENUE
WHEREAS, Frauenshuh Companies and Twin Cities Orthopedics, on behalf of 7700 France
Avenue, LLC have submitted an application to subdivide and rezone property located at 7700 France for
the construction of a new medical office building; and
WHEREAS, the proposed development would occur in two phases with the first phase
consisting of a new 68,000 square foot medical office building and two-level parking deck; and
WHEREAS, the second phase would likely consist of a second medical office building with
vertical expansion of the parking deck at an undetermined time in the future; and
WHEREAS, the proposed development would create dozens of professional jobs and allow for
business expansion to meet the needs of the marketplace; and
WHEREAS, the portion of the site to be redeveloped has been underutilized as an overflow
surface parking lot for several decades, making little contribution to the tax base of the City and County;
and
WHEREAS, portions of the site were formerly used as the France Avenue Dump and the on-site
soils vary in their suitability for new construction, thus requiring environmental remediation and
stabilization in order to create a buildable site.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Edina approves the Medical Office
Building at 7700 France Avenue for a grant application to Hennepin County's Environmental Response
Fund.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the City of Edina authorizes 7700 France Avenue, LLC and Braun
Intertec to submit the grant application to the Hennepin County Environment and Energy Department
in advance of the November 1, 2016 deadline.
Adopted by the Edina City Council this 5th day of October, 2016.
