RESOLUTION NO. 2014-21
RESOLUTION APPROVING PLAN REVISIONS FOR A SITE PLAN WITH
VARIANCES AT 6525-45 FRANCE AVENUE TO BUILD A 60,000 SQUARE FOOT
ADDITION AND PARKING RAMP EXPANSION FOR THE SOUTHDALE MEDICAL
OFFICE CAMPUS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section I. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Silver Oak Development on behalf of the IRET Properties, received approval (Resolution 2013-77) to
build a four story 60,000 square foot medical office expansion, and new parking ramp expansion to the
existing 273,000 square foot Southdale Medical Office building located at 6525-45 France Avenue.
1.02 The following actions were taken to allow the project:
I. Site Plan Approval.
2. Parking Ramp Setback Variances from 40 and 34.5 feet to 34.5, 28 and 20 feet for the new parking
deck to match the existing parking ramp setback.
3. Parking Stall Variance from 1,715 spaces to 1,577 spaces. A proof of parking plan for an additional
deck could expand parking to 1,749 spaces has been provided.
The property is legally described as follows:
See attached.
1.03 The applicant is now requesting the following revisions to the approved plans:
Parking Ramp. The applicant proposes to build the proof of parking plan (5th level) and not build the
underground parking level. The proof-of-parking would then extend the 5th level of the ramp toward
the hospital. The result would be 7 less parking spaces at build out, and the parking ramp 6 inches
taller. The footprint of the ramp would remain the same; and the number of proof-of-parking stalls
would still exceed city code.
Office Building. The 2nd-4th levels of the office building would be extended over the loading dock area,
and pulled away from the existing building. The square footage of the building would remain the same.
Building materials remain the same, but have been repositioned. The plans reduce the number of
parking stall built from the original plan by 7.
Section 2. FINDINGS
Approval is subject to the following findings, which are consistent with the original findings for approval:
1. The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site Plan with the
exception of the parking space and ramp variances.

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 are reasonable. As mentioned, the setbacks for the parking ramp expansion, match
the existing setbacks. 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.
4. The parking ramp could be expanded should there ever be a need for additional parking for the
site.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, approval of the
revised Site Plan and Building Elevations date stamped February 5, 2014, at 6525-45 France Avenue for Silver
Oak Development on behalf of IRET Properties. Conditions required in the original approval, Resolution
2013-77, shall still apply.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, on February I 2014.
