W AND SOUTHDALE FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL
o
City of Edina
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Mohagen Hansen Architectural Group on behalf of Twin Cities Orthopedics and Southdale
Fairview Hospital is requesting an amended Final Development Plan review with driveway
setback variances from 10 feet to 0 feet at 4010 65th Street West and 6400 France.
1.02 The following are the changes that are proposed to their approved Final Development Plan:
1. Enlargement of the drive entrance on the east side of the building to allow easier and
safer turning area into the building. The proposed drive-aisle would encroach onto the
property to the east, and therefore, requires a variance to the side property line. The
adjacent property owner (Southdale Fairview Hospital) has agreed to the encroachment,
and is a co-applicant for the same variance on their property.
2. Revised landscaping along the north lot line. Trees would be planted in the MnDot right-of-
way to avoid underground utility lines.
• 3. Revised storm water storage system.
4. Increase in the parking ramp stair tower height by 2'2" to accommodate structural
clearances.
5. Revised building material from architectural precast to brick on the fourth level, as
presented to the Council on January 20, 2009.
1.03 On December 30, 2008, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
Amended Final Development Plan and Variances.
1.04 On January 8, 2009, the Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved the variances. Staff
appealed the decision in order for the City Council to take final action on the Final
Development Plan and Variance.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 With the exception of the variances, the proposal would meet the required standards and
ordinances for a Final Development Plan.
2.02 The amendments do not add any finished square footage to the previously approved plans.
2.03 The proposed changes to the plans are minimal.
• 2.04 The proposal meets the required standards for a variance, because:

• 1. There is a unique hardship to the property caused by the size of the approved building
on the site, the shape and limited depth of the lot, especially the western half of the
site.
2. The site's high water table prevented the parking from being constructed under ground.
3. The site's location adjacent to Crosstown Highway 62.
4. The revised driveway would provide a safe and easy turning radius for delivery trucks
driving into the loading area.
5. The intent of the ordinance is to provide separation and green space between lots and
uses. This site is unique in that it is part of the Regional Medical District, and there
would be a pedestrian connection between the parking ramp for the hospital, and the
new building. The appearance would be that these uses function together.

the Amended Final Development Plan and Variances at 4010 65th Street West and 6400 France
