He stated this plan allowed for more access points and pedestrians would come through the ramp and access at a popup point. Councilmember Sanger asked about the bus transit stops. Mr. Henry stated it would remain as originally proposed. Councilmember Sanger asked how they would address the Express bus riders parking in the ramp. Mr. Henry stated it would need to be monitored.

Mr. Locke stated the Community Planning Committee and SRF would be reviewing the details. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 3c - Study Session Minutes 072307 Page 3 Councilmember Sanger asked at what point would they have an idea of the amount of TIF needed and if they would be dealing with a TIF district for each portion of the project. She also stated concern that the draft indicated a portion was not due to be completed until 2014. Mr. Locke stated they hoped to come back to Council within the next month with the TIF figures. He indicated the TIF analysis stated they would need to create one TIF district for the entire project, and there was a five-year limit for completion. Mr. Locke stated the 2014 completion is for additional office buildings, and the impact of office buildings coming at a later time would reduce the amount of increment that the City decided to allow Duke. Councilmember Sanger asked if the retail portion would be jeopardized with office buildings coming later. Mr. Locke stated it would be more advantageous to have it completed sooner rather than later. Councilmember Sanger stated it appeared the new plan presumed Golden Valley agreed to the Joint Powers Agreement.

Ms. Schnitker stated the Met Council does. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 3c - Study Session Minutes 072307 Page 4 Councilmember Paprocki stated the report seemed under budget. Ms. Larsen stated 2007 has been a productive year with transformation-move up loans exceeding the projection. Ms. Schnitker stated there were three applicants that would still like to continue the process if money were available. She stated they could transfer money from other funds to try and meet program needs. Councilmember Paprocki asked if money could be shifted from the discounted loan money into the transformation loans. Ms. Schnitker stated that have already designated approximately $100,000 to cover three loan requests that were in the system. She also stated in recently reviewing the budget they were able to move another $70,000 into the transformations loan, which may be enough money to fund the three existing applications. Councilmember Sanger asked if staff is taking a waiting list. Ms. Larsen stated not at this point. Councilmember Sanger agreed with Councilmember Paprocki with suggesting the money be transferred from different funds. Councilmember Sanger asked if the figures included homes in foreclosure. Ms. Larsen stated it was only houses that have actually been sold and gone through the sheriff’s sale. Councilmember Sanger suggested tracking the data through the inspection and police department and provide assistance to help prevent foreclosures. Ms. Larsen stated in their review of those calls, only 11 out of 1,000 had been foreclosed on for that period of time. Councilmember Sanger stated there might be people that are in and out of the system and asked how that could be tracked. Ms. Schnitker stated there may be people that may have been missed, stating the only way they find out is once they reach the sheriff’s sale. Councilmember Sanger asked if there are inspection issues during the process, asking if there were things the City could do to provide them with help, alleviating problems for the neighbors around them. Ms. Larsen stated the County is working on establishing some foreclosure counselors and education to help with the impact of the foreclosure. Councilmember Carver asked how the current rate compared to that of the past five years. Ms. Schnitker stated records were not available to do a comparison. Ms. Schnitker stated the State has recently passed laws to curb predatory lending. She stated the legislature passed a law requiring verified income loans, with stated income loans no longer allowed. Mr. Locke agreed that predatory lending was too readily available. Councilmember Finkelstein suggested providing some options for owner-occupied, single-family homes for low and moderate income. Ms. Schnitker stated they were working on affordable housing and looking at different options. Councilmember Sanger suggested using discounted first-time buyer money. Ms. Schnitker stated the State still has the program available. Councilmember Sanger suggested doing a demonstration project similar to Blackstone. Ms. Schnitker stated it was something they could review. Councilmember Basill stated concern with the discounted home loan levels cutting off too soon and asked if anything could be done with the levels. Ms. Larsen stated the state loans are not negotiable. 5. 2008 Budget Overview Mr. DeJong presented the staff report. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 3c - Study Session Minutes 072307 Page 5 Mr. Harmening stated the overview was in its rough stages, with finance being faced with many challenges. He also stated the actual line items would be provided at a subsequent meeting for their review. Council and staff discussed the levy process, percentages and possible impact on taxpayers. 6. Vision Update Mr. Harmening presented the staff report. Councilmember Finkelstein asked if vision updates would be reported to the community. Mr. Harmening stated yes. Updates Mr. Harmening stated staff had been working with TOLD (the US Grand Developer) and ESG (the architect) to have Excelsior and Grant certified as a LEED neighborhood. Mr. Harmening reminded Council they had until election time to increase Council salaries if they so desired. It was the consensus of Council to not raise their salaries for 2008.

Motion to Rescind Resolution No. 89-08 – Granting a Special Permit at 3800 Princeton Avenue South REQUEST: Excelsior & Grand III LLC is requesting the termination of a special permit for its property located at 4730 Park Commons Dr, otherwise known as phase NW of Excelsior and Grand. BACKGROUND: The property addressed as 4730 Park Commons Dr was created in 2001 by consolidating many smaller parcels. One of those parcels was 3800 Princeton Ave, which received a special permit in 1989 to allow a single family home to be constructed. At that time, the property was zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), and the PUD district allowed single family homes to be constructed by Special Permit. Even though 3800 Princeton Ave has been consolidated with other properties and no longer exists, the Special Permit continues to exist and is now attached to the property title of 4730 Park Commons Dr, and subsequently each condominium unit of phase NW. The termination of the permit is requested to clear the records on the property.

Motion to Receive Donation. BACKGROUND: State statute requires City Council acceptance of donations. This requirement is necessary in order to make sure the City Council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on the use of each donation prior to it being expended. Mayor Jacobs received an offer for a free membership in the Urban Land Institute. This membership would normally cost $535 – consisting of a $150 one-time registration fee and $385 for annual membership. This appears to be beneficial to the city as a whole and not just for the benefit of the mayor. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council accept the donation.

Motion to approve Appointments to Southwest Transitway Community Advisory Committee. BACKGROUND: As the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority continues to study and plan for light rail transit along the Southwest Corridor, it has created a Southwest Transitway Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to increase the level of community involvement and participation in the process. The purpose of the Southwest Transitway CAC is “to provide an open forum for discussion of community issues, provide a vehicle for educating the community on the potential benefits/impacts and potential mitigation measures associated with LRT implementation, and to provide guidance to the Southwest Transitway Policy Advisory Committee (PAC).” The Rail Authority has requested that the City of St. Louis Park appoint 3 representatives to serve on the committee. Staff has recruited 3 individuals who have agreed to be involved in the process: Bill James, Bob Tift, and Heather Klein. Both Bob Tift and Bill James were members of the Transportation Action Team during the Vision process, and Heather Klein is a resident in the Birchwood neighborhood, which could be impacted potentially if heavy rail moves north from the SW Corridor. The Southwest Transitway CAC is expected to meet bi-monthly throughout the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) process, which is the next phase of the study. It is estimated to be conducted over the next two years. The initial meeting was held on July 26th; Bob Tift was able to attend. The next meeting is scheduled for October 24th. Attached is the Southwest Transitway CAC Charter and make up of the membership by city. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appointing the following individuals to the Southwest Transitway Community Advisory Committee: Bill James, Bob Tift, and Heather Klein.

Motion to Designate Zamboni Company as the lowest responsible bidder and authorize the purchase of an electric Zamboni Ice Resurfacer for a net cost of $85,218.01. BACKGROUND: The 2007 Capital Equipment Replacement plan included the purchase of one (1) new 2007 Electric Ice Resurfacer for the east arena. Proposals were received on July 9, 2007. BIDS: An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun-Sailor on June 28 and July 5 , 2007. Two (2) bid packages were issued to vendors in Minnesota and California. A summary of the bid results is as follows: VENDOR BID AMOUNT Zamboni Company (Zamboni) $104,468.01 Becker Arena Products Inc (Olympia) $124,605.00 DISCUSSION: The bid(s) were reviewed by staff to determine compliance and responsiveness to bid specifications. Staff reviewed the specifications of the lowest bidder, Zamboni Company, and found their bid compliant in all aspects of advertised bid specifications. RECOMMENDATION: The 2007 Equipment Replacement Fund provides $109,545.00 for the purchase of one electric ice resurfacer. The Zamboni Company bid of $104,468.01 less trade-in of $19,250.00 resulting in a purchase price $85,218.01. Staff has determined that Zamboni Company is the lowest responsible bidder and recommends a contract be awarded in the amount of $85,218.01 (purchase: $104,468.01 less trade-in of $19,250.00) for an electric Zamboni Ice Resurfacer.

Motion to Reject All Bids Received for the Purchase of an Asphalt Paver. BACKGROUND: The 2007 Capital Equipment Replacement Fund included the purchase of one (1) new 2007 Asphalt Paver for the Public Works Department. Proposals were received on July 9, 2007. BIDS: An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun-Sailor on June 28 and July 5 , 2007. Five (5) bid packages were issued to vendors throughout Minnesota and North Dakota. A summary of the bid results is as follows: VENDOR BID AMOUNT Swanston Equipment Corporation (Mauldin) $74,087.00 Ruffridge Johnson Equipment, Inc. (Bomag) $75,255.00 Road Machinery & Supplies Company (LeeBoy) No Bid DISCUSSION: The bid(s) were reviewed by staff to determine compliance and responsiveness to bid specifications. The low bid from Swanston Equipment failed to meet specification 7.3 regarding hydraulic shut-off gates. Through previous experience, staff has confirmed material shut-off gates are a necessary component which enhances paving efficiency and job quality. Ruffridge Johnson Equipment also specification deviations, most important of which was paver weight. The Bomag paver exceeded the specified maximum allowable operating weight. RECOMMENDATION: After extensive review, staff has determined that all submitted bids contain unacceptable deviations. Therefore, staff recommends Council reject all bids. Due to paving season constraints, staff has elected to move the paver solicitation process to the 2008 purchasing cycle.

Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing installation of permit parking in front of 2935 Sumter Avenue South (Traffic Study No. 602). BACKGROUND: The City h as received a request from Ms. Donna Rosenberg, on behalf of her mother, to restrict on-street parking in front of her mother’s house at 2935 Sumter Avenue South. Ms. Rosenberg’s mother has limited mobility and is eligible for a disabled persons parking permit. Although Ms. Rosenberg’s mother does not drive, she needs accessible parking for Metro Mobility to use their lift when picking her up and dropping her off. Due to other on street parking which occurs on this street, Ms. Rosenberg has requested the City install permit parking in front of her home. Ms. Rosenberg has spoken with her neighbors to try to limit on street parking in front of her house, but her attempts have been unsuccessful. City staff has also spoken with neighbors, but the problem remains. Staff has discussed this request with Ms. Rosenberg. Installation of handicapped parking signs is not feasible, since the parking stall design requirements cannot be met on this local street. However, the City’s Traffic Policy and past practice do allow for permit parking in this situation. It has been the City’s practice to use permit parking, which can then be removed when the individual needing the access no longer resides there or no longer needs the access. In this case, Ms. Rosenberg’s mother requires the parking restrictions. Staff considers the resident’s request to be valid and supports the installation of permit parking for handicap access at 2935 Sumter Avenue South. This recommendation is based on the following: 1. The resident of the household has limited mobility and is eligible for a disabled person’s parking permit. 2. Parking conflicts with neighbors will be eliminated. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the attached resolution authorizing installation of permit parking restrictions as described.

Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing Mayor and City to execute Agreement for Cost Participation with Hennepin County in the Minnetonka Boulevard Trail – Project No. 2004-0302. BACKGROUND: Making the City a safer and more pedestrian-friendly community was one of the recommendations that came out of the visioning process in the 90’s. In response to this suggestion, a city-wide Sidewalk, Trail, Bikeway and Crossing Plan was developed. This Plan, which has been incorporated into the City’s Comprehensive Plan, identifies areas of the City in need of additional sidewalk, trails or bikeways; and busy roadway or railroad crossings where pedestrian safety improvements can be made. One trail segment identified in the plan for construction is along Minnetonka Blvd. from Highway 169 to Aquila Avenue. Engineering staff has developed plans for the construction of a trail along the south side of Minnetonka Blvd. During the project development substantial public involvement and input was solicited. Staff presented the plans to Council for approval at their May 7, 2007 meeting. Council approved the plans and authorized advertisement for bids. ANALYSIS: During the project development, staff has involved Hennepin County in review of our plans and requested County participation in the cost of constructing the project. The County has reviewed our plans and has agreed to participate in the project funding through their Bicycle CIP Fund. Their funding program allows a maximum contribution of $100,000 per year per project. However, they are only able to secure $79,000 this year for our project. Hennepin County has also committed to installing the signage and road striping needed for this project. To secure the County funds, an Agreement for Cost Participation must be executed between our two agencies. The attached agreement spells out each agencies responsibility in the project and the requirements for the City’s cost reimbursement. The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and recommends no changes. COST AND FUNDING: The Engineer’s Estimate for this project is $365,830. This includes 10% for contingencies and 12% for Engineering and Administration expenses. The project will be funded from 2005 General Obligation bond proceeds along with the $79,000 contribution from Hennepin County. UPDATED PROJECT TIMELINE: Staff has recently finished negotiations with Xcel Energy on the power pole relocations needed for the trail construction to occur. Xcel Energy has agreed to relocate 12 poles at their cost. Xcel Energy plans to relocate their poles in August before the trail construction begins.

Motion to approve a contract with SRF Consulting Group for Professional Design Services related to the Excelsior Boulevard Street Improvement Project, Project No. 2004-0420 (Dakota Ave. S. to Louisiana Ave. S.). BACKGROUND: The Hennepin County Transportation Department is developing final plans for the next phase of the Excelsior Boulevard reconstruction and improvements (Phase 5 - Dakota Avenue to Louisiana Avenue). The phase between Highway 100 and Dakota Avenue (Phase 4) is presently under construction with full completion expected in 2008. Similar to the present phase under construction, the final phase from Dakota Avenue to Louisiana Avenue will continue with a similar reconstruction, including streetscaping enhancements and improvements. Phase 5 will also include replacement of the bridge over Minnehaha Creek. In May of 2005, the City Council approved the entire preliminary design from Highway 100 to Louisiana Avenue. Hennepin County is now moving forward with the final design (plans and specifications) for the final phase from Dakota Avenue to Louisiana Avenue. The County intends to commence construction in the spring of 2009. Similar to the previous phases, the purpose of the final phase is to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety, improve capacity for vehicles, restore the pavement to an adequate condition, replace a deficient bridge at Minnehaha Creek and provide streetscaping/landscaping enhancements to create a more attractive pedestrian environment. Consistent with the previous improvements, it is intended to essentially extend the present streetscape enhancements to Louisiana Avenue in a similar fashion. ANALYSIS: Similar to the present phase under construction (Highway 100 to Dakota), Hennepin County will act as the lead agency for the roadway improvements. However, the City will continue to partner with the County to provide the planning, engineering and support necessary to incorporate streetscape elements into the project. Staff is recommending that SRF Consulting Group again be retained to assist in developing and finalizing the streetscape design. SRF was the designer of the streetscape project adjacent to Excelsior and Grand, and the present phase (Highway 100 to Dakota) now under construction. SRF previously created draft streetscape concepts for this phase as part of the overall preliminary design approval for Highway 100 to Louisiana Avenue, and participated extensively in the public process to date. SRF’s role will be to assist the City in meeting with the County and property owners as required to discuss streetscape design issues and to prepare final plans for this phase of the Excelsior Boulevard Improvements. These plans will be coordinated and combined with Hennepin County’s roadway plans into one County-administered bid letting and construction contract. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 4j - Excelsior Boulevard Contract 2004-0420 Page 2 In summary, it is proposed that SRF assist the City with the following design related tasks at the following estimated costs: # Task Cost 1 Project Management and Public Involvement $7,931 2 Bridge Aesthetic Coordination $5,346 3 Prepare Streetscape Final Plans and Specifications $36,309 4 Bidding Administration $2,520 5 Direct, Non-salary expenses $884 Total $52,990 Fees will be paid based on actual hours expended. The funding source for the consulting services and most of the City’s share of the project will be the EDA’s Development Fund or Tax Increment funds. It has not been determined at this point if construction related services for this project will be delivered by City staff or a consultant ( SRF) will need to be utilized. That determination will be made in early 2009. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a contract with SRF Consulting Group for services associated with final design of streetscaping elements for the Excelsior Boulevard Street Improvement project in the amount of $52,990.00.

Public Hearing to consider granting an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License with Sunday sales for Taher Restaurant Acquisitions, LLC, dba Alaska Eatery located at 6501 Wayzata Blvd. in St. Louis Park. Recommended Action: Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to approve on-sale intoxicating liquor license with Sunday sales to Taher Restaurant Acquisitions, LLC, dba Alaska Eatery, 6501 Wayzata Blvd. BACKGROUND: The City received a request from Taher Restaurant Acquisitions, LLC for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license with Sunday sales. Alaska Eatery will be located at 6501 Wayzata Boulevard. The former Shelly’s Woodroast restaurant is being transformed into a new restaurant featuring fresh seafood (& steaks) from Alaska, prepared on indoor wood-burning grills. The Alaska Eatery will be an “upscale casual” restaurant with a full bar and a complete wine list, presenting modern American food priced from $7.00 to $25.00. This facility will be open 7 days a week, with a full lunch, dinner, and late night menu Bruce Taher is the President and CEO and will be the store manager until a new manager is designated. The Police Department has conducted a full investigation and has found nothing in the course of their investigation that would warrant denial of the license. The application and Police report are on file in the Office of the City Clerk should Councilmembers wish to review the information prior to the public hearing. RECOMMENDATION: The applicant has met all requirements for issuance of the license and staff is recommending approval, subject to the satisfactory background investigation of the prospective store manager. Prepared by: Nancy Stroth, City Clerk Reviewed by: Management Assistant Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8a - Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus Page 1 8a. Methodist Hospital – Planned Unit Development (PUD) Major Amendment Case No. 07-25-PUD Major Amendment Park Nicollet, 6500 Excelsior Boulevard Recommended Action: Motion to adopt resolution approving a Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus at 6500 Excelsior Boulevard, subject to conditions recommended by Staff. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Park Nicollet requests approval of a Major Amendment to the existing Planned Unit Development for the Methodist Hospital Campus to allow construction of the Frauenshuh Cancer Center and parking ramp additions. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL: Park Nicollet proposes an addition to the west wing of the Meadowbrook building and a new parking ramp located on the north side of the Methodist Hospital Campus at 6500 Excelsior Boulevard. The three-story building addition would be home to the Frauenshuh Cancer Center. The addition provides improved patient care facilities, revamps the north entrance and reception area to Methodist Hospital, and includes a chapel and an enclosed walkway connection to the new parking ramp. The gross building area of the addition is 77,000 square feet. The Cancer Center building design also allows for a future two-story vertical addition (five stories total). The new parking ramp would be a five-story structure for approximately 1,700 vehicles on a portion of the existing Orange parking lot. The ramp would have a separate employee entrance on the north side, separate employee exit on the west side, and a visitor entrance and exit on the east side of the structure. The plan incorporates numerous site improvements. The project converts nearly three acres of land from paved surface parking lot to landscaping. New site lighting will eliminate glare onto neighboring properties. The site design improves traffic circulation and moves it away from residential properties. The design also uses a combination of methods to manage stormwater on- site. NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT: Park Nicollet, City and Brooklawns neighborhood representatives met frequently for ten months to arrive at the proposed plans. The discussions centered on a list of neighborhood concerns and goals that Park Nicollet addressed through their site and building design. Park Nicollet documented the neighborhood’s issues and its proposed resolutions in a three-ring binder of materials titled “2007 Issues and Resolutions Checklist: Frauenshuh Cancer Center.” A full copy of the document has been provided to the City Council and will be part of the permanent file for the Methodist Hospital Campus. Selected exhibits from the document are attached to the staff report. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8a - Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus Page 2 BACKGROUND: In 2003, Park Nicollet prepared a General Development Plan for the Methodist Hospital campus that described short- and long-term plans for expansion. Park Nicollet worked closely with Brooklawns neighborhood representatives to arrive at this plan. The City approved the General Development Plan Phase II (longer-term) improvements in concept only. This project advances a portion of Phase II improvements and requires a PUD Major Amendment. The City completed an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) in 2003, which analyzed a total hospital building area of 1,235,927 square feet. This included approximately 209,000 square feet of building additions for Phase I and 217,000 square feet with Phase II proposed in the General Development Plan. Park Nicollet has since constructed all but 60,000 square feet of the Phase I improvements. Park Nicollet still proposes to keep the total campus building area below the area analyzed in the EAW; however, it has modified the timing and amount of expansion of each phase. This does not have any substantial impact on the analysis or recommendations of the EAW, except the timing of certain traffic mitigation requirements discussed later in this report. EXISTING CONDITIONS: St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8a - Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus Page 3 Existing Conditions Data Zoning R-C High Density Multi-Family Residential Floodway and Flood Fringe Comp. Plan Office PUD Size 38.1 Acres Current Use Hospital/Clinic Gross Building Area 958,927 square feet Building Height 8 stories (existing hospital building only) Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) 0.58 Ground Floor Area Ratio (G.F.A.R.) 0.11 Parking (Automobile) On-site 1,532 stalls Off-site 1,292 stalls Total 2,824 stalls FLOODPLAIN: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Hennepin County, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and City of St. Louis Park have been involved with a process for several years to update flood maps in the region. The Cancer Center and parking ramp designs, and the zoning analysis in this report, are all predicated on the assumption that the regulatory flood elevation in the area of the Methodist Hospital Campus will be lowered significantly, based on studies and modeling initiated by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. A Hennepin County-wide FEMA map revision process underway, however, the conclusion of that process may still be several months away. Park Nicollet has applied to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to update the predicted 100-year flood elevation based on the latest and most accurate flood data analysis in the Methodist Hospital Campus area. The 100 year flood elevation change at the Methodist Hospital Campus would be from 894 to 889.9, a drop of 4.1 feet. FEMA will take 30 to 90 days to complete its review of the LOMR. The City anticipates FEMA will approve the LOMR. The City of St. Louis Park will also need to amend the zoning map, which includes the 100-year floodplain boundary, for the change to go into effect. Therefore, Park Nicollet has and is proceeding with their building designs and PUD application at some risk. PUD approval by the City of St. Louis Park will need to be contingent upon FEMA approval of the LOMR and City of St. Louis Park adoption of a zoning ordinance amendment implementing said revision. ZONING ANALYSIS: The proposed new construction meets all the requirements of the Zoning Code. The height of the proposed building and parking ramp will meet the RC Zoning District requirements, and do not require a PUD modification. In 2003, the City granted a PUD modification for the existing eight- story hospital building.

Architectural Design The height, massing, roof treatment, proportions and architectural character of the Cancer Center are contextual and complementary with that of the Heart and Vascular Center building addition (see attached drawings). The west elevation of the addition will be very similar to the rest of the campus. The use of the stone veneer wall and prefinished metal siding materials help differentiate the entry and improve campus way finding. The exterior materials on the building addition include brick, stone, glass and pre-finished metal. The building meets the minimum Class I materials requirement. The parking ramp integrates similar building materials, building form, textures and colors as the principal building(s). The plan concentrates Class I materials on the south and east elevations, and at stair and elevator towers locations which are the most visible to visitors, employees and neighbors. The west elevation is distant from Louisiana Avenue and mostly screened by existing trees. The properties to the north have parking lot and general industrial uses. Materials include brick, glass and precast concrete. Building Height The proposed Frauenshuh Cancer Center building addition is three stories and 38.6 feet tall, plus 14 feet for the mechanical penthouse. A future addition to the building could add two stories and match the height of the existing Meadowbrook building. The proposed parking ramp is approximately 63 feet tall, plus 15 feet for the elevator penthouse. Both structures meet the height requirements for the RC District. The tallest building on the campus remains the existing 8-story hospital building. Landscaping The plan adds multiple locations of landscape areas and creates layers of green space and tree plantings between activity on the campus and the houses to the east. A line of evergreen trees and fence along the property line help screen the proposed employee parking lot, a thick “grove” of trees will be planted between the parking lot and drive lane, and finally, a few trees will be planted between the drive lane and parking ramp. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8a - Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus Page 6 The landscaping plan provides far more trees than required. Although the planting plan does not provide the number of shrubs required by the zoning code, a variety of alternative landscaping elements are included in the site design. Rain gardens provide part of the stormwater management. Perennial flowerbeds will be planted in the medians of the new drive lane and near bus stops. A “healing garden” with walkways and plaza areas will be provided on the west side of building addition, and connects to a future boardwalk near the Minnehaha Creek. Two bus shelters will be provided on-site. The landscaping plan and tree selection has gone through several iterations and the neighborhood still has some concerns about tree selection. Staff shares the desire to have a mix of tree plantings to provide seasonal color and to prevent losses due to disease. However, staff suggests this issue can be resolved administratively through continued cooperation with Park Nicollet and neighborhood representatives. Drainage, Grading and Utilities Floodplain: Assuming FEMA approves the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) with the proposed new floodplain elevation of 889.9, the site meets the City requirements for compensatory storage. The Cancer Center addition to Methodist Hospital has a first floor elevation (FFE) that is 1.6 feet above the proposed floodplain, which is allowable for building additions (new buildings must have a FFE of 2 feet above the floodplain). The parking ramp has a FFE that is 2.6 feet above the proposed floodplain. Utilities: The sanitary sewer and water main are adequate to serve the facility. Stormwater Management: In addition to reducing the impervious area by approximately 3 acres, the plan slows the discharge rate using rain gardens, swales and underground storage. The plan meets the City’s rules for rate control. Wetlands and water quality: These areas are governed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). The applicant is working with the MCWD to meet their requirements. Lighting The proposed lighting plan meets City Code requirements. However, the existing parking lot lighting on the north side of the site does not conform to current City Code requirements. The 2003 PUD approval included a condition that this existing lighting be replace by November 17, 2007 to eliminate direct illumination and glare onto neighboring properties. Park Nicollet requests an extension to complete this improvement to avoid replacing the lighting twice. Staff proposes an extension of two years. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8a - Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus Page 7 Signage Variances were granted to the Methodist Hospital Campus for site signage in 2003. The new sign plan proposes changes to the signage, but overall reduces the total sign area on the site. The improved campus design requires less directional signage, and the proposed signage for the Cancer Center is reasonable. The sign plan does not require additional variances and will be approved as part of the PUD Major Amendment process. Staff suggests future changes to the sign plan be processed administratively, unless the sign area increases (except for directions signage) or new variances are required. PUD MODIFICATIONS: Park Nicollet is not requesting any new PUD modifications for the Methodist Hospital Campus for the Cancer Center and parking ramp additions. OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS: The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) completed in 2003 outlined certain off-site traffic improvements needed for the proposed General Development Plan. The additional trips to the campus site generated by the parking ramp and building addition will cause the intersection at Oxford Street and Louisiana Avenue to operate at an unacceptable level of service. A recommended condition of approval is that Park Nicollet pay for the installation of a traffic signal at this intersection to mitigate the impact of the project, in accordance with the 2003 EAW and 2007 traffic study findings. The 2007 traffic study prepared by SRF Consulting Group is attached for your review. Park Nicollet would like to improve traffic operations and pedestrian safety at its driveway entrance onto Louisiana Avenue. The City hired SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to study possible improvements to this intersection. Staff is not recommending any changes to this intersection as part of the PUD approval; however, the study will help Park Nicollet and the City evaluate and explore whether changes to this intersection would be appropriate and effective. Staff will report on the draft findings of SRF Consulting Group’s study at the public hearing, but the Planning Commission does not need to take action on this item. PUBLIC PROCESS: Park Nicollet, City and Brooklawns Neighborhood representatives undertook an extraordinary cooperative design process. The group began meeting in November 2006, and since March has generally met twice per month. The process demonstrated everyone’s creativity, attention to detail, and commitment to achieve a good outcome. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the application on July 11, 2007. All those that spoke at the public hearing were supportive of the project. St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8a - Major Amendment to the PUD for Methodist Hospital Campus Page 8 City Council approval of the application must be contingent on FEMA approval of the Letter of Map Revision and City adoption of zoning ordinance and map amendments to implement the proposed floodplain map amendments. FEMA is currently reviewing the Letter of Map Revision. A public information meeting for affected residents will be held August 22 (tentatively). The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the necessary zoning ordinance and map amendments on September 5, 2007. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Major Amendment for the Methodist Hospital Campus at 6500 Excelsior Boulevard, subject to several conditions. The draft City Council resolution includes all the conditions from the 2003 PUD approval, adds conditions related to this project, and amends the condition related to the deadline for lighting improvements on the north side of the site.

Resolution No. 07-068 Directing the Reconveyance and Purchase of a Portion of a Tax Forfeit Parcel at 2600 Natchez relating to the Vacant Land Sale Process. This report recommends that the City Council amend the resolution which was approved on June 4, 2007. Recommended Action: Motion to adopt the attached resolution directing the reconveyance and purchase from the State of MN of certain tax-forfeit land at 2600 Natchez Avenue South by revising the purchase price from $123,000 to $151,000. BACKGROUND: On December 5, 2005 the Council determined that certain parcels of vacant land should be developed for single family homes. Staff was directed to prepare these parcels for sale for the development of single family homes. The tax forfeit parcels require approval by the state and county before they can be purchased by the City; and, then re-sold as single family home sites. The state and county have now approved the sale of a portion of the tax forfeit vacant land located at 2600 Natchez Ave S. The title on this property was complicated by historically incorrect legal descriptions and inaccuracies in recording. Consequently, the administrative steps to reconvey and purchase the parcel had been on hold. The title is now correct, and the parcel is ready for reconveyance and purchase. This is the final tax forfeit property identified through the Excess Land Process to be reconveyed. On June 4, 2007, Council approved the resolution to reconvey and purchase the 2600 Natchez Ave parcel for a price of $123,000. During the meeting it was discussed that there was some question as to what appraised value should be used for the resolution reconveying and purchasing the parcel. The Council approved the resolution with a purchase price of $123,000, and directed staff to clarify the cost, and report back. On June 29, 2007, the County Taxpayer Services Department provided in writing, a parcel purchase cost of $151,000 (between the two appraised values of $190,000 and $123,000). The City Assessor believes this value to be reasonable. PROCESS: The portion to be reconveyed and sold for a single family home is shown as Parcel A on the attached survey of 2600 Natchez. The remainder of the parcel, including the wetland, will be retained as tax forfeit property for the public purpose of open space. The County has indicated the purchase cost will be $151,000 for this parcel, plus standard transfer costs that include Assurance Fees, State Deed Preparation Fee, Filing Fees and State Deed Tax. The appraised values of this parcel ranged from $123,000 to $190,000. The Development Fund would be the funding source for this purchase, and will be reimbursed when the parcel is sold. Because this property is being sold through the County as tax forfeited property, the County is required to share the proceeds from the land sale with the City. The City’s share of the County land sale proceeds will be approximately half the purchase costs, or $75,500. The City will sell the property through a bid process. Any sale proceeds in excess of the purchase price paid to the County will accrue to the City. Staff anticipates the sale price for the 2600 Natchez parcel will meet or exceed the appraised value. 2600 Natchez Ave S St. Louis Park City Council Meeting Item: 080607 - 8b - Amend Resolution Reconvey Vacant Land 2600 Natchez Page 2 The City Council action sought is to amend the resolution to reflect the revised purchase cost of $151,000. The amended resolution is attached. NEXT STEPS: Following approval of the resolution staff will take the following actions. • Submit the required paperwork to the state and county. The legal requirements for this acquisition includes: a certified copy of the City Council’s resolution directing purchase of the parcels, payment, and a cover letter stating intention to purchase. • Following the City’s purchase of the parcel, the City will Quit Claim the parcel to the St. Louis Park Housing Authority for sale through the bid process. The City Council previously delegated the Housing Authority with the responsibility of actual sale of the vacant parcels for single-family homes. • The Bidding/Sale process will be implemented to sell the parcel for building a single family home. • Staff will proceed with these steps upon Council approval of the attached Resolution. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the amended Resolution No.07-068, directing the reconveyance and purchase from the State of Minnesota of certain tax-forfeited land at 2600 Natchez Avenue South, St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The amendment reflects the change in price from $123,000 to $151,000.

First Reading of an Ordinance amending City Code Section 6-66 for adoption of the Minnesota Sate Building Code and optional provisions. Recommended Action: Motion to approve first reading of proposed ordinance amendment to synchronize language in the adoption of optional Chapter 1306 of the Minnesota State Building Code and set second reading for August 20, 2007. PURPOSE OF ORDINANCE: Due to the July 10, 2007 adoption of the new 2007 Minnesota State Building Code the city must modify its code adoption of optional Chapter 1306 – Special Fire Protection System. To maintain our current fire sprinkler provisions, Ordinance Section 6-66(b) 1 must be amended by deleting reference to an option no longer existing within the 2007 edition of Chapter 1306. BACKGROUND: The City of St. Louis Park adopted in the mid-1990’s optional Chapter 1306 of the Minnesota State Building Code relating to requiring the installation of fire sprinkler systems. Because these provisions often apply to existing building modification or expansion, the city has been offering a special assessment program to assist property owners with the cost of installing fire suppression systems. This program has been successfully utilized by a number of property owners in the city since its adoption in 1995. The program fund balance is stable and remains available for future use. ANALYSIS: The Minnesota State Building Code allows municipalities to adopt optional Chapter 1306 regarding installation of fire sprinkler systems. Chapter 1306 specifies the installation of fire sprinkler systems into some buildings that may not otherwise be required by the main body of code. The reason for these additional provisions is to allow municipal fire departments to focus more on prevention and the use of automatic fire suppression systems in their operations rather than staffing to accommodate larger fire scenarios. SUMMARY: Proposed adoption of Chapter 1306 with Subpart 2. (Attachment A) will maintain similar fire sprinkler requirements as those currently adopted by the city in the best interest of public safety.

Copyright by the Office of Revisor of Statutes, State of Minnesota. 1306.0010 GENERAL. This chapter authorizes optional provisions for the installation of on-premises fire suppression systems that may be adopted by a municipality in addition to the State Building Code. If the municipality adopts them, the sprinkler system requirements of this chapter become part of the State Building Code and are applicable throughout the municipality. This chapter, if adopted, must be adopted without amendment. STAT AUTH: MS s 16B.59; 16B.61; 16B.64 HIST: 27 SR 1479 Current as of 07/11/07 1306.0020 MUNICIPAL OPTION. Subpart 1. Requirement. The sprinkler system requirements of this chapter, if adopted, must be adopted with the selection of either subpart 2 or 3, without amendment. Subp. 2. Existing and new buildings. Automatic sprinkler systems for new buildings, buildings increased in total floor area (including the existing building), or buildings in which the occupancy classification has changed, must be installed and maintained in operational condition within the structure. The requirements of this subpart apply to structures that fall within the occupancy classifications established in part 1306.0030, items A to D. Exception: The floor area of minor additions that do not increase the occupant load does not have to be figured into the square footage for occupancy classifications established in part 1306.0030, items A to D.
