Overview of Request: City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 6, 2010 PC Agenda Item 3.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: Meagan Beekman, City Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #10 -009 Applicant: 1201 County Road E LLC (TAT Properties LLC) Property Location: 1201 West County Road E Request: Zoning Code Amendment and Master and Final Planned Unit Development The applicant has requested a Zoning Code Amendment and Master and Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow the existing student housing facility located at 1201 County Road E, the former Holiday Inn site, to convert from an interim to a permanent use. At the September 8, 2010, meeting the Planning Commission reviewed an application from TAT Properties and Northwestern College for a Zoning Code amendment and Master and Final PUD to convert the existing student housing facility at 1201 County Road E from an interim use to a permanent use. The application also included a request for a preliminary and final plat to subdivide the seven acre property into two parcels. The Planning Commission voted to table the request for a Zoning Code amendment and Master and Final PUD, and recommended denial of the applicants request for the preliminary and final plat. The applicant has since withdrawn their request for the preliminary and final plat, but is moving forward with a request for the Zoning Code amendment and PUD to allow the existing use to continue. In March 2008 the City approved a request from TAT Properties and Northwestern College granting an Interim Use Permit (NP) at the former Holiday Inn property that would allow Page 1 of 12 the College to operate a student housing facility in the B -2 District. TAT Properties had purchased the building and intended to lease it to Northwestern College. The IUP is set to expire May 30, 2011. Student housing is currently defined as "institutional housing" in the City's Zoning Code. As part of the approval the City adopted an IUP process, and amended the City's land use chart to allow institutional housing as an interim use in the B -2 District, under certain circumstances. Sighting a number of factors, including the slowed economy over the past several years, Northwestern College was not able to construct on- campus student housing. At present, Arden Hall has proven to be a success for Northwestern College. As an alternative to losing the capacity to house the students living in Arden Hall when the IUP expires at the end of this school year, Northwestern College is proposing to extend their lease with TAT Properties and continue the operation of their student housing facility. In turn, TAT Properties has found it more difficult than originally anticipated to find a viable redevelopment option for the property, and has submitted an application to the City requesting the current interim use of the building be converted to a permanent use. Presently, the Zoning Code does not identify institutional housing as a permitted or conditional use within the B -2 District. Land uses that are not specifically identified in a city's zoning code as permitted or conditional uses are considered prohibited. In order to accommodate the applicant's request to allow the student housing facility to continue operations at its current site, the request includes a proposal to amend the Zoning Code to add institutional housing as a use permitted through a PUD process in the B -2 District. This means that the use would be considered permitted, but would be required to get an approved Master and Final PUD in order to operate in the B -2 District. Since the September 8, Planning Commission meeting, the applicants have reviewed their request in terms of making the existing student housing use permanent versus extending the existing interim use permit. The applicants have indicated that the cost of improvements that are required in the building are significant, and that these improvements warrant a long term investment in the property. Furthermore, a zoning classification that allows the use permanently is necessary in order to garner financing to make the required improvements. See the September 8, 2010, Planning Commission report to review the applicant's letter outlining the reasons for their request. 2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process The PUD process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for developments that could not otherwise be developed in the manner allowed in the underlying zoning regulations. For example, a PUD process is required for certain types of uses within specific Zoning Districts in the City that may be appropriate uses, but require additional review and negotiation. The City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 2 of 12 process is meant to create a better development than the standard regulations may otherwise allow. The PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development that would otherwise not be possible through a typical site plan review or Conditional Use Permit; however, any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the impacts of the development. While each PUD process is unique, it is a common process used by many cities. The PUD process cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zone. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) process is typically at least a two step process. The first step is the Master PUD, which is a detailed concept plan for the entire development proposal, often outlining individual phases for development over a specified period of time. The second step is the Final PUD for each phase, which is a more detailed review as each development phase moves forward; however, it is not uncommon for single phase projects to request both a Master and Final PUD approval at once. 3.

Site Data: Commercial Regional Commercial B -2 General Business District 7.65 Acres (333,234 sf) The parcel is generally flat City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 3 of 12 Plan Evaluation 1. Proposed Zoning Code Amendment The applicant is requesting institutional housing be added as a permitted use, if approved through the PUD process, in the B -2: General Business District Zone. The B -2 Zone generally encompasses those properties along County Road E between Lexington Avenue and Highway 51/Snelling Avenue. Section 1320.04 Subd 1 states that the purpose of the B -2: General Business District is: A. To be a place in which people can live, work and play. B. To create a compact, architecturally diverse, pedestrian- and bicycle friendly community with a distinct identity. C. To provide a connected sidewalk system and places for people to gather and socialize. D. To implement design standards to promote an attractive environment with lasting and sustainable value. E. To group compatible retail and service business uses that tend to draw trade that is naturally interchangeable and promotes business prosperity. F. To provide an adequate supply of businesses and professional service areas to meet the needs of the residents. G. To minimize the effects of traffic congestion, noise, odor, glare and similar safety problems. H. To implement the Plan known as the "Guiding Plan for the B2 District," which was adopted by the City Council on October 27, 2008. Currently, the Zoning Code permits institutional housing as a conditional use in all residential districts in the City and the CC: Civic Center District. With the adoption of the Guiding Plan for the B -2 District a number of changes to the Zoning Code were also instituted. Multiple- family housing was added as a permitted use, through a PUD process, in the B -2 District at that time; however institutional housing was not. Institutional housing is defined in Section 1305.04 Subd. 80 of the Zoning Code as: Institutional housing. Student or faculty housing for four (4) or more persons on rental basis, rest home, hospital, sanatorium, nursing home, convalescent home, orphan home. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 4 of 12 The City does not have a specific set of review criteria for evaluating a Zoning Code amendment; however, the primary issues to consider include (but are not limited to): 1. Is the proposed use compatible with the other uses in the B -2 Zone? 2. How will the proposed use affect the B -2 Zone? When reviewing a Zoning Code amendment or addition, it is important to consider how the change would affect the entire zone instead of one specific property. If approved as proposed, institutional housing could, in theory, be a permitted use through a PUD process on any property in the B -2 Zone. However, the proposed ordinance requires that in order for an institutional housing use to be approved, it would have to be located in an existing hotel /motel use within the district. This regulation effectively limits this type of use to the proposed property. 2. Zoning Regulations This application is unique because the request is regarding the use of a building and site that is already developed. The typical evaluation as to whether or not the proposed plan meets the minimum requirements of the Zoning Code is more difficult given that there are certain aspects of the site that cannot reasonably be altered, such as the setbacks of the building. That being said there are certain reasonable improvements that can be required for the property given the nature of the PUD process and the City's broad discretion when reviewing requests for amendments to the Zoning Code. Section 1320.085 Subd. 5 Proposed Special Requirements for Institutional Housing in the B -2 District (Attachment C) Meets Requirements The evaluation criteria in section A below are based upon the proposed Zoning Code amendment to add institutional housing as a permitted use in the B -2 District through the PUD process. Institutional Housing Additional Planned Unit Development Criteria. In addition to meeting the requirements of Section 1325, an existing hotel -motel use may be used for institutional housing upon approval of a Master Planned Unit Development provided that all of the following requirements are met: 1. The building to be used for institutional housing meets applicable building and fire codes as determined by the Fire Marshal and Building Official; 2. Each room that has occupants on an overnight basis shall have bathroom facilities within the room; 3. The capacity of the building shall not be exceeded; City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 5 of 12 4. The institutional housing shall only be used for student or faculty housing. Rest homes, hospitals, sanatorium, nursing home, convalescent homes, and orphan homes shall not be permitted. 5. A regularly scheduled shuttle shall be provided to and from the college or campus for which the institutional housing is being used nursing home, convalescent homes, and orphan homes shall not be permitted Section 1320.06 District Requirements Chart Meets Requirements A. Lot Size, Building Coverage, and Landscaping: B. Setbacks: The minimum setbacks in the B2 District are 20 feet in the front and rear and 10 feet in the side yards. The existing building exceeds the minimum setbacks for this District. Section 1325 General Regulations A. Landscaping and Tree Preservation Section 1325.05 Subd. 1 and 1325.055 Caliper Inches Required Exceeds Requirements A Landscaping Plan was submitted by the applicant and presented to the Planning Commission at the September 8, 2010, meeting. Based on the square footage of the proposed buildings the City Code requires 320 caliper inches of trees to be located on site; however, existing and preserved trees on the site are permitted to count towards this requirement. There are currently 530 caliper inches of trees on site. No trees are proposed to be removed at this time. Trees along Street Frontage Meets Requirements City Code requires that a minimum of one tree be planted along the right of way for every 40 feet of street frontage. A condition has been added that would require this regulation to be met. Perennials and Shrubberies Flexibility Requested City Code requires that at least ten percent of the total landscaped area shall be covered with perennials and /or shrubbery. Code requires 7,300 square feet of perennials and shrubbery. The applicant is proposing 5,800 square feet.

Lot Size, Building Coverage, and Landscaping: B. Setbacks: The minimum setbacks in the B2 District are 20 feet in the front and rear and 10 feet in the side yards. The existing building exceeds the minimum setbacks for this District. Section 1325 General Regulations A. Landscaping and Tree Preservation Section 1325.05 Subd. 1 and 1325.055 Caliper Inches Required Exceeds Requirements A Landscaping Plan was submitted by the applicant and presented to the Planning Commission at the September 8, 2010, meeting. Based on the square footage of the proposed buildings the City Code requires 320 caliper inches of trees to be located on site; however, existing and preserved trees on the site are permitted to count towards this requirement. There are currently 530 caliper inches of trees on site. No trees are proposed to be removed at this time. Trees along Street Frontage Meets Requirements City Code requires that a minimum of one tree be planted along the right of way for every 40 feet of street frontage. A condition has been added that would require this regulation to be met. Perennials and Shrubberies Flexibility Requested City Code requires that at least ten percent of the total landscaped area shall be covered with perennials and /or shrubbery. Code requires 7,300 square feet of perennials and shrubbery. The applicant is proposing 5,800 square feet. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 6 of 12 Tree Selection Meets Requirements The selection and size of trees that will be provided on site meet the requirements of the Code. B. Design Standards Section 1325.05 Subd. 8 Because the property has already been developed, and the building and parking lot are proposed to remain largely unchanged, the majority of the design standards that apply to the B -2 District are not applicable to this application. That being said, there are certain aspects of the design standards that do apply to this particulate application. Site Furnishings and Seating Areas Arden Hall currently has a small patio area adjacent to the student lounge. Parking Parking is currently located to the rear of the building, which is in compliance with the design standards for the B -2 District. The Code also requires concrete curb around the periphery of all parking lots, access roads, and parking lot islands. A portion of the existing parking lot already has concrete curb, though not all. The conversion of the property from an interim to a permanent use will not impact the parking lot; therefore, improvements to the parking lot would not be required at this time. When the parking lot is eventually redone, curb and gutter, as well as parking lot islands and additional landscaping would be required. Lighting Based on security concerns related to car break -ins, the Ramsey County Sheriff has requested that additional lighting be provided in the rear parking lot. At this time a lighting plan has not yet been submitted; however, Staff has added a condition of approval of this application that a lighting plan be submitted that meets the requirements of the Code. Additional lighting in the parking lot area would increase safety and security of the property. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation The Zoning Code requires sidewalks with all PUD approvals in the B -2 District. The applicant is proposing six foot concrete sidewalks with a six foot boulevard adjacent to County Road E and Lexington Avenue the length of the property. Bike racks are not shown on the plan, but are currently located on the property. The presence of permanent bike racks has been added as a condition of approval. C. Parking Section 1325.06 Exceeds Requirements City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 7 of 12 The regulations within the City Code to determine the number of required parking spaces for a student housing facility are not clear. There are currently 426 parking stalls located on site. City Code requires one parking stall for every unit in a hotel /motel use, plus one for each employee. The current building contains 155 rooms. The amount of existing parking exceeds the requirements based on the past use of the site as a hotel. To date, parking has not been an issue on the site. 3. Park Dedication Park use dedications are not triggered by this application, because there would not be a net increase in the number of parcels. Students currently have access to a wide range of recreation activities on the Northwestern College campus. The need for pedestrian and bicycle access to and from the site is certainly increased by the use of the building as a student housing facility. Opportunities to increase access to recreation and trails should be a priority in the future in the event that a subdivision of the property takes place. 4. Guiding Plan for the B -2 District The existing building is presently situated in a way that conforms to many of the principles in the Guiding Plan for the B -2 District. The building is situated close to the street with nearly all of the parking located to the back of the building. The use, as a student housing facility, is similar in nature to uses already permitted in the District, such as high density multiple family housing. Additionally, the proposed application would expand the sidewalk system and streetscape in accordance with the B -2 Plan. Because the site is not being fully redeveloped, but rather re -used, other principles of the Guiding Plan that relate to this site are not as clearly addressed. For example, it is not possible to realign the access drives towards a new intersection to accommodate a traffic light, because of the placement of the existing building. Additionally, the Guiding Plan for the B -2 District states that future development on this parcel should be oriented around a green space, which is not the case with the existing building. 5. Additional Review The Building Official and the Fire Marshal have determined that an Occupancy Permit will be required in order to allow people to inhabit the property after May 31, 2011, when the current interim use permit expires. The Building Official and Fire Marshal have prepared conditions of approval addressing certain building code and fire safety requirements that need to be met prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. Provided that the requirements are met, they have no objections to the application. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 8 of 12 Findings of Fact The Planning Commission must make a finding as to whether or not the proposed application meets the requirements of the Zoning Code, advances the goals and principles within the Guiding Plan for the B -2 District, and would adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole. Staff offers the following seventeen findings for consideration: General Findings: 1. If the proposed Zoning Code changes in Planning Case 10 -009 are approved, institutional housing would be a permitted use, under certain circumstances, with an approved PUD, in the B -2 District. 2. The Master and Final PUD process allows flexibility with the implementation of the City's subdivision and zoning regulations. 3. The proposal is not anticipated to adversely impact nearby properties through nuisance, noise, dust, glare, or unsightliness, and will not otherwise adversely impact the health, safety, and welfare of the community because the use is located in a commercial district, has been in operation since September 2008 and has not caused any adverse impacts to date, and will be aesthetically improved by the proposed landscaping improvements. 4. The proposal would not increase parking and traffic on the site compared to existing conditions. In addition, Northwestern College intends to continue shuttle service between the property and the College. 5. The proposal is in keeping with many of the principles of the Guiding Plan for the B -2 District due to the existing configuration of the site. 6. The proposal does not advance the principles of the Guiding Plan for the B -2 District, because it inhibits the realignment of the accesses on the site, the design standards for new construction are not being met, and the development is not oriented around a green space. 7. There are no delinquent property taxes, special assessments, interest, or City utility fees due upon the subject parcel. On the Proposed Special Requirements for Institutional Uses in the B -2 District: 8. The building to be used will be upgraded to meet all applicable building and fire codes. 9. Each room will have its own bathroom. 10. The capacity of the building will not be exceeded. 11. The institutional housing will be for student housing only. 12. A regularly scheduled shuttle will be provided to and from the College. Planned Unit Development Review Findings: 13. Lot size, building and landscape coverage, and setbacks are met by the proposed plans. 14. All parking lot and landscaping requirements are met or exceeded with the exception of square footage of perennial /shrubbery plantings and parking lot deficiencies. 15. The design standards that can be applied to this application are substantially met by the proposed plans. 16. Required number of parking stalls is exceeded by the proposed plans.

The B -2 General Business District encompasses a primary gateway into the City. The aesthetic and transportation impacts from new developments and redevelopments must be evaluated to help ensure the long -term viability and success of the B -2 District. Accomplishing the purpose of the B -2 District requires particular concern for the design of buildings, site features (such as landscaping, lighting, and signage), site layout, building materials, site design, and other related design elements. To that end, new development and redevelopment shall conform to the standards in this and related zoning requirements. The "Guiding Plan for the B2 District" shall act as a guide for development but is not part of the Zoning Code. In reviewing and approving land use applications, the City Council shall make the final determination on the compatibility and consistency with all provisions in this and related sections of the Zoning Ordinance. (Revised 12/3/2008) Subd. 1 Procedure. To further accomplish the stated purpose of the B2 District, the following procedures shall be used: A. Proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to existing sites shall use the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. The PUD proposal shall identify any requested modifications from the applicable zoning requirements and from the "Guiding Plan for the B2 District" as well as the reasons why the modifications would be in the public Section 1320 District Provisions Adopted: November 13, 2006 Page 18 of 63 City of Arden Hills Chapter 13 Zoning Code S u bd. 2 Uses. interest and would be consistent with the purpose of the B -2 District. Modifications to these requirements may be granted by City the Ci without a variance through the PUD process. Conditional use permits may also be required for uses list in Section 1320.05. B. Conditional Use Permits, Site Plans, and other development agreements that were approved for development sites before November 24, 2008, shall remain in effect but shall use the Planned Unit Development Process for future site amendments. C. The following items shall not be considered significant modifications to an existing site and shall be exempt from the PUD process but shall be subject to administrative review and approval: (i) Internal alterations to buildings that do not result in a change to the building height, roof line, or footprint unless the changes will have a notable increase in traffic and/or parking needs as determined by the Community Development Director or their designee; (ii) Replacement, maintenance, or repair of existing materials, including exterior finishes, signage, Landscaping, and parking lots; (iii) Minor modifications to the exterior of a building or a site that substantially conforms to the design standards in Section 1325 and has no discernable impact on traffic as determined by the Community Development Director or their designee; D.

Background 2S1ZDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM The applicant is requesting approval of a major redevelopment of their existing properties. Presbyterian Homes is proposing to demolish the existing buildings located on five separate parcels and reconstruct a new three to four -story senior housing building and three new brownstone style two -story apartment buildings. The existing McKnight Care Center would remain in its current location and would not be altered as part of this application. Included in the proposal, the applicant is requesting a preliminary and final plat that would consolidate their five separate parcels into two parcels; 3220 and 3120 Lake Johanna Boulevard would be combined, and the three parcels located on the triangle at County Road D and Lake Johanna Boulevard would be combined. The applicants are also requesting Tax Increment Financing (TIF) from the City. The application for TIF is separate from the land use requests and will be reviewed by the Council at a later date. The Planning Commission will be asked at a future meeting to make a City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 1 of 11 r.. ..v..v.n. v.. v. r.. ry f• ffi .J rs t F:. ...v.... fv......:.; v :rri •r:.. .r... }...r ........:...r r 'kYr l.' r r.... r......... :.t o.. r} r..v v. r{v :vvv. vv v• v p� .V ...k ...t K...

Presbyterian Homes has been operating senior housing at this location since 1954. They operate under two Conditional Use Permits (CUP), previously called Special Use Permits (SUP), which were approved and amended over the course of the past several decades. The City does not have a record of the earliest approvals; however, the following proposals are known to have been reviewed by the City: Presently Presbyterian Homes has 396 units between the Lakeview Residence, the McKnight Care Center, and the Sutton Place apartments. The McKnight Care Center contains 208 units and Sutton Place has 19 independent senior units. The Lakeview Residence has 169 units; 136 of which are assisted living and 33 are exclusively for memory care. The three parcels on the west side of Lake Johanna Boulevard are comprised of three structures with detached garages, which are comprised of four dwelling units and a commercial use. At the City Council's August 9, 2010, work session, Presbyterian Homes presented a concept for the redevelopment of their site. Since that meeting, Presbyterian Homes has met with the surrounding neighbors in a series of six community meetings. In addition, the applicant presented their concept plan to the Planning Commission at their September 8, 2010, work session. Presbyterian Homes has incorporated a number of comments received from these meetings into their submitted plans; however, there remain concerns from neighboring community members regarding certain aspects of the project. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 2 of 11 Project Proposal and Process 1. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Process: The PUD process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for developments that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may alter the setbacks, lot coverage, density, parking requirements, building height, landscaping requirements, etc. The flexibility from the minimum requirements in the underlying district may reduce a specific requirement, or it may increase it. Additionally, the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development to help achieve City goals. The intent is to provide flexibility to a project in exchange for improvements or amenities that a City could not otherwise require. With any development, the conditions imposed on the project must have a rational basis related to the impacts of the development. The PUD process is an alternative to the variance process and requires distinct findings separate from the undue hardship criteria in State Statutes. The process is meant to create a better development than the strict adherence to the standard regulations might otherwise allow. While each PUD process is unique, it is a common process used by many cities. The PUD process cannot be used to permit uses that would not otherwise be permitted in the underlying zone. 2. Project Description The project area encompasses five parcels that would be consolidated into two separate parcels. One parcel would be located on the east side of Lake Johanna Boulevard and would be 22.5 acres in size. The second parcel would be located on the west side of Lake Johanna Boulevard and would be one acre in size. All of the buildings in the project area would be demolished with the exception of the McKnight Care Center, which would remain as is. The proposal includes the construction of an 83,184 square foot three to four -story primary facility which would contain 152 units. The units would be comprised of 63 independent senior apartments, 48 assisted living units, and 36 memory care units. The proposal also includes three brownstone -style two -story apartments. Two of the brownstones would be located on the eastern parcel and would house 36 independent senior units. The total square footage of both brownstones would be 31,706. The third brownstone would be located on the triangle parcel and would house 14 independent senior units and be 14,310 square feet in size. The number of units on the eastern parcel would remain at 396. The number of units on the western parcel would increase from four to 14. The proposal also includes significant storm water collection and treatment ponding, a trail system, raised gardens and planting beds for residents of the facility, and a comprehensive long term landscape management plan. Presbyterian Homes has also proposed to keep their trails and gardens open to the general public. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 3 of 11 Presbyterian Homes initially approached the City with a proposal for only a re- platting of the property and a Master and Final PUD. Upon review by Staff it was determined that the Presbyterian Homes property should be rezoned to better reflect the mix of uses that exist on the site. Four of the parcels that are included in the redevelopment (3120, 3 153, 3163, and 3220 Lake Johanna Boulevard) are currently zoned R -2, while the fifth parcel (3151 Lake Johanna Boulevard) is zoned Neighborhood Business (N -B). Institutional housing, which is how assisted living and nursing home facilities are defined in the Zoning Code, is a conditionally permitted use in the R -2 District. This means that a CUP is required in order to operate them. At the time the Sutton Place Apartments CUP was approved it was determined, by the City, that the independent senior units that would be located there were defined as institutional housing units just like the other housing units operated by Presbyterian Homes. Since that time, the City Attorney and Staff have reviewed the mix of uses on the site as part of this application, and have determined that independent senior units do not fit the definition of institutional housing, but rather, better fit the definition of multiple family dwellings. Multiple family dwellings are not permitted uses in the R -2 District. Even though independent senior housing units currently exist on the Presbyterian Homes property which is zoned R -2, and these units were approved by the City in the past and operate legally, Staff is recommending a rezoning of the property from R -2 to R -4, because it more clearly reflects the uses on the site. The R -4 District is substantially similar to the R -2 District in terms of setbacks, permitted and conditional uses, building height, and lot coverage. Both Districts allow institutional housing as a conditional use; however, the R -4 District allows multiple family dwellings through a PUD process where the R -2 District does not. Based on the City's interpretation of the uses that exist on the site currently, Staff believes that the R -4 District is a more appropriate zoning designation for this property than R -2. Upon further review of the proposed project, Staff recently discovered that the Presbyterian Homes properties located on the west side of Lake Johanna Boulevard have a 2030 Future Land Use designation of Low Density Residential. It was previously thought that the 2030 Future Land Use designation for 3151 Lake Johanna Boulevard was Neighborhood Business, because the property is zoned N -B. Based on this contradiction, any development proposal for this parcel would require either a rezoning or a comprehensive plan amendment in order to be approved. Given this oversight, a Comprehensive Plan amendment would also be required as part of this application to change the Future Land Use designation. Proper notification and a public hearing before the Planning Commission will be required in order to adopt such an amendment. Since notification could not be sent out in time for the October 6, public hearing, a second public hearing will be required at the November 3, Planning Commission meeting. The Council will not be able to take action on this item until after the Planning Commission public hearing. This proposal technically includes seven requests: 1. Rezoning to R -4 on the four properties currently zoned R -2 2.

Rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment A city's 2030 comprehensive plan lays out the future land uses that are anticipated for all properties within the city. Based on the future land uses, cities can plan for improvements, anticipate infrastructure needs, and create appropriate land use regulations. A city's zoning code identifies specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals in the comprehensive plan can be implemented. The zoning cannot conflict with the future land use designation. State Statute requires that in order to change a property's zoning district to one that does not align with the designated future land use, the comprehensive plan's future land use map must also be amended to reflect the new anticipated use. The Metropolitan Council has the final determination as to whether to allow a comprehensive plan amendment or not, though they provide great deference to cities as long as the proposed land use change does not have a negative impact on a regional system (i.e. transportation, sanitary sewer, and regional parks) A city has broad discretion when reviewing whether or not to rezone a property or amend its comprehensive plan. Questions to consider are whether or not the proposed project forwards the broader goals and vision for the city? Would the rezoned property allow for a better development then the current zoning would permit? Is the proposed zoning district appropriate to that particular location? Would the proposed change forward the goals of the comprehensive plan? Rezoning of Lot 1, Block 1 Presbyterian Homes is requesting that their properties located on the east side of Lake Johanna Boulevard at 3120 and 3220 be consolidated into a single parcel; Lot 1, Block 1. The consolidation request meets all requirements of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, Presbyterian Homes is requesting the new parcel be rezoned from R -2 to R -4. The reason for the rezoning request is based on a City Staff recommendation that comes from a need to find a zoning classification that more closely fits with the mix of uses that currently operate on the site. Regardless of the outcome of the Master and Final PUD application, Staff believes that the rezoning is appropriate given the existing conditions on the site, and the fact that this property diverged from the underlying R -2 zoning regulations decades ago. The City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides the future land use of this parcel for "Public and Institutional Both the previous 1998 Future Land Use Map and the 2008 Existing Land Use Map also classify the property as "Public and Institutional This classification is based on the historic and current use of the property as a senior housing and care facility owned and operated by Presbyterian Homes. The City does not have a zoning district specifically designated for public and institutional uses, even though there are a number of properties within the City that are guided as such on the 2030 Future Land Use Map. The underlying zoning district of each property dictates the permitted mix of uses, setbacks, densities, and other zoning requirements. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 6 of 11 The differences between the requirements of the R -2 versus the R -4 District are few. While the purpose statement for each district differs, any redevelopment proposal ultimately is measured against the restrictions and requirements within the Zoning Code. The only use that is permitted in the R -4 District that is not otherwise accommodated for in the R -2 District is multiple family dwellings. Multiple dwellings are defined in Section 1305.04 Subd 61 of the Zoning Code as a dwelling that consists of three or more attached dwelling units. The requirements for each district are outlined in Section 1320.06 of the Zoning Code. The only difference between the R -2 and R -4 Districts is the density requirements; 5.5 units /acre in the R -2 District versus 12 units /acre in the R -4 District. All other regulations between the two districts are the same. Presbyterian Homes currently operates a net density of 17 units per acre between there two parcels, proposed to be consolidated. Even with the property rezoned, the current use exceeds the maximum density permitted by the Code. Presbyterian Homes previously received approvals from the City to operate at this level of density. The submitted application does not propose to increase the net density on the site. Rezoning of Lot 1, Block 2 Presbyterian Homes is requesting that their three parcels located on the west side of Lake Johanna Boulevard be consolidated into one parcel; Lot 1, Block 2. The consolidation would meet all requirements of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Two of the parcels are currently zoned R -2, while the third is zoned N -B. All three parcels are guided for Low Density Residential in the City's 2030 Future Land Use Map. Previously the property zoned N -B had been guided for Neighborhood Business in the City's 1998 Future Land Use Map; however, the designation changed when the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Council. Presbyterian Homes is requesting that the properties be rezoned to allow a 14 unit, two -story brownstone style apartment on the one acre consolidated parcel. The maximum density allowance in the R -4 District is 12 units per acre; however the City can grant an increase in the density through the PUD Process. The N -B District allows for multiple- family uses at densities in excess of 12 units per acre; however, the proposed residential use does not necessarily fit with the N -B District in terms of providing a neighborhood commercial use. It should be noted that because the guided land use for this parcel is low density residential, a commercial use would not be permitted on the property without a Comprehensive Plan Amendment either. The triangle shaped parcel, even when consolidated with the two residential properties to the north of it, is an extremely challenging lot to develop. It would not be possible to redevelop the lot in a reasonable way, even with a new single family home, that would meet the minimum requirements of the Code in terms of setbacks. The existing structure on the site, could of course remain, but would not be able to be expanded in any way. Furthermore, the guided future land use of low density residential for the parcel may not be appropriate given City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 7of11 its location and orientation to the streets around it. Regardless of the outcome of this planning case, the City should make the future land use and zoning consistent on the parcel. 2. R -4 Zoning Regulations Review Based on recent discussions with Presbyterian Homes, they are working to find options within their proposed plan that might mitigate concerns raised by neighbors to the project. These adjustments will impact the calculations that will be required to make a full analysis of the project. Staff has reviewed the proposed plans as submitted, but given the need to continue the public hearing to the November 3 meeting, and the likelihood that the project may adjust in that time, the analysis provided in this memo is not to the level of detail that it might otherwise be. As noted, this project is being reviewed through the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. The following section reviews the project based on the R -4 regulations and notes where flexibility is being requested. Section 1320 District Provisions A. Lot Size, Building Coverage, and Landscaping Meets or Exceeds Requirements Presbyterian Homes have made adjustments to their plans that will impact the building and landscaped lot coverage. The numbers reflected on the plans submitted September 24 are no longer accurate and Staff was not able to calculate accurate numbers in time for the printing of this memo. Based on preliminary analysis and discussions with Presbyterian Homes, Staff believes that the landscape coverage, building coverage, and lot size regulations would be met or exceeded by the proposed project. A full analysis will be completed once the final plans have been submitted. B. Building Height and Density Flexibility requested The maximum building height in the R -4 District is 35 feet. The maximum density is 12 units per acre. The proposed main building would be three to four stories in height and be at a maximum height of 54 feet above the main entrance in the center of the building. The height of the roof variegates quite a bit; it would be 33 feet in height on the northern end of the building and 45 feet in height at the southeast end of the building. The average height amongst the varying roof lines is 44 feet above grade. The three brownstones would be approximately 33 feet in height and would not exceed the maximum height requirement of the Code. The density of Block 1 would be 17 units per acre; the current net density on that site is 17 units per acre. The number of units is not proposed to be increased. According to the City Attorney, the existing density on the site was granted through previous City approvals and agreements, thus is a property right that runs with the land that the City can not take away. The City cannot reduce the existing density, but is not obligated to allow it to increase either. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 8of11 The density on Block 2 would be 14 units per acre, which exceeds the maximum allowed density by two units. The applicants are requesting flexibility on this item. C. Setbacks The minimum building setbacks in the R -4 District are 40 feet in the front yard, 30 feet in the rear yard, and five feet in the side yard, with both sides adding up to 15 feet. The proposed buildings on Block 1 exceed the minimum requirements for the building setbacks. The main building is setback 76 feet, ten inches from the nearest lot line; over twice what the minimum setback of 30 feet in the rear yard would require. The proposed main building also significantly increases the setbacks to Lake Johanna. The brownstone building located on Block 2 is proposed to be setback ten feet from the front and rear property line. While the Code requires a minimum front yard setback of 40 feet, the lot is not wide enough to accommodate any structure that meets this requirement, as it is very narrow. Section 1325 General Regulations A. Landscaping and Tree Preservation Section 1325.05 Subd. 1 and 1325.055 This is a heavily wooded lot that presents challenges for meeting the tree preservation requirements. Landscaping and Tree Preservation Plans were submitted by the applicant; however, adjustments to the plans are still being made. Based on the submitted plans, the applicant is proposing to remove 208 of the 317 significant trees that existing on site. Based on the varying sizes of the trees that would be removed, this would result in a required 1,658 caliper inches of replaced trees. This requirement will be met or exceeded by the proposed plans. The result of the tree preservation plan will be a net increase in the number of trees on site. While the total number of trees on site is proposed to increase, the number of caliper inches would be reduced. Section 1325.055 of the Zoning Code identifies several situations in which the City has the discretion to reduce the number of replacement caliper inches required for a particular development; providing affordable housing is one of them. The applicant has requested a reduction in the number of replacement caliper inches required from 557 to 195 in order to maintain the affordable housing component of the project. This reduction is at the discretion of the City Council and Planning Commission. All other requirements of the landscaping and tree preservation Code would be met or exceeded by the proposed plans. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 9 of 11 3. Additional Review The Building Official, Fire Marshal, Public Works Director, and City Engineer have reviewed the application and do not have any objections to the proposed project. While details regarding the locations and sizes of utilities need to be worked out, Staff feels confident that there will be no major concerns regarding these issues. Findings of Fact: Staff will prepare full findings of fact regarding this proposal for the November 3 Planning Commission meeting. A full analysis of the project is not possible based on the fact that plans may still be adjusted in order to mitigate concerns raised by neighbors in the community. Recommendation Staff has had discussions with Presbyterian Homes, and has mutually agreed that a motion to table this planning case to the November 3 Planning Commission meeting is most appropriate. This recommendation is for a number of reasons, including; the need for proper notification for a hearing regarding a comprehensive plan amendment for Block 2, to give Presbyterian Homes an opportunity to address the concerns raised by neighbors, and to give Staff additional time to review the implications of any possible changes to the project. Presbyterian Homes has also requested the additional time to meet further with neighbors to discuss comments made at the September 29 community meeting regarding this project. Staff is also recommending that the Planning Commission keep this item on the regular agenda and hold a public hearing as scheduled. It is important to hear all of the concerns, questions, and comments from the community so that they can be fully addressed in the coming weeks. Deadline for Agency Actions The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on September 7, 2010. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City has extended its review deadline by an additional 60 days, beyond the initial 60 day review. The City must act on this request by January 4, 2011 (120 days). The City may, with the consent of the applicant, extend the review period beyond the initial 120 days. Resident Comments City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 6, 2010 Page 10 of 11 Notice was published in the Shoreview -Arden Hills Bulletin and mailed to properties within 350 feet of the property. Additionally, several community meetings have been held by Presbyterian Homes. To date, Staff has received two letters from residents regarding this project. The primary objections heard by Staff have been pertaining to the height of the building nearest to Shorewood Drive and the access drive that connects with Shorewood Drive. Attachments A.

The main campus is shown as Lot 1 Block 1 of the plat. The parcels west of Lake Johanna Blvd are shown as Lot 1 Block 2 of the plat. PHS is submitting applications for rezoning, preliminary and final plat, and master and final PUD approvals with this package. A Business Subsidy Application has been submitted requesting TIF assistance for the project which as proposed includes a new home for the Ramsey County Library. Repositioning: The PHS of Arden Hills campus is the site of the first PHS facility built in 1954. As such, it is a site that is special to our organization and mission. The campus has grown over the decades as needs grew and changed for senior care and housing with additions in 1962, 1970 and 2006. As an organization PHS holds and manages its properties for the long term. As a result, we periodically reposition, improve and redevelop campus's to meet the demand and market of the area. The Arden Hills campus is due for such a redevelopment. Currently the campus serves residents needing skilled care in the McKnight Care Center. The Lakeview Building provides Assisted Living units for residents. However these rooms are very small (some under 400 sq feet) with no kitchens or kitchenettes and some with shared bathrooms which no longer meets our residents needs, the market demands, or our service delivery program. Sutton House, the building previously used as a school, houses 19 independent senior apartments; far less than the demand for this campus. PHS vision is to reposition the campus so that it provides a continuum of care and housing for residents and a greater mix of unit types and sizes to provide more diversity in housing choices and a physical environment that leads to more personal liberty and dignity as well as creates spaces for gathering and social interaction. This leads to a more vibrant environment within which residents can engage, interact and lead a more fulfilling lifestyle This continuum of care and housing would be accomplished through redistributing the current housing to include more and larger Independent Apartments, Assisted Living suites, additional dedicated Assisted Living Memory Care suites to address additional demand and the introduction of our Brownstone style Senior Apartments offering housing choice for those truly independent. The Assisted Living suites create small neighborhoods of 18 -20 units typically. The units open into common areas specific to that household giving a neighborhood within a community feeling. The common spaces include, living area, activity space, residential laundry, and dining space and serving kitchen as well as staff service areas. This household environment has evolved to assist in delivery of care through our Liberty :Personally Designed Living model that is guided by principles of independence, autonomy, respect, choice, empowerment and relationships. A Town Center connecting Apartments, Assisted Living and the Care Center becomes the backbone of the community and provides central places for gathering, dining, activities, chapel and exercise. This reconfiguration would result in the same number of units as currently exist on campus today. There are 396 units on site today and there would be 396 on the site as proposed. The triangle parcels west of Lake Johanna Blvd as proposed would add an additional 14 units of Senior Apartments to the campus as a whole. (There are currently 4 units of residential units on the properties so the next gain is 10 units.) The unit numbers current and proposed are as follows: Current Proposed Care Center 208 208 Assisted Suites 136 48 AL Memory Suites 33 36 Independent Sr. Apts. 19 68 Brownstone Sr. Apts. 0 36 Main Campus Total 396 396 Parcels West of Lake Johanna Blvd. Brownstone Sr. Apts 0 14 SF Duplex Units 4 0 This portion results in the addition of 10 units to the project. Goals: The repositioning and redevelopment of the campus also allows PHS to address additional goals outside of resident needs and services. Parking: Currently there are 250 surface parking spots on main campus. There are periods when there are staff and family members parking along Lake Johanna Blvd which is permitted but not desirable. The proposed site plan incorporates 358 parking spots on main campus which is 108 spots more than currently. The Independent Senior Apartments and Brownstones would have resident parking underground which accounts for about 100 spots. The remaining 258 would be surface parking which includes 22 additional spots added as requested by library staff to the count to accommodate parking for patrons of the Library. These spots are not designated as Library parking only as peak hours of operation for the Library are different from peak visitor hours for campus residents and staffing shifts. The Brownstone west of Lake Johanna Blvd which has 14 Senior Apartments would have underground parking for residents and surface parking for visitors. The goal is to eliminate the need for parking on Lake Johanna Boulevard. The service entrance would remain off Sandeen Road where it currently is located. Service deliveries would be expected to decline slightly as Independent Sr. Apartments utilize fewer supplies and services than Assisted Living Suites. The proposed plan is carefully planned for a separation of parking creating more efficient traffic flows. The main entrance to campus moves toward the south making the grades more gradual as traffic enters the site. Upon entry traffic would be directed to the left to Care Center and Memory Care parking or to the right to the Library, Senior Apartments and Assisted Living which are accessed through the main entry. Library: Prominently located at the main entry is the Ramsey County Arden Hills Library Branch. It is visible from the intersection of County Road D and Lake Johanna Boulevard and from the main entrance where monument signs would include a strong Library presence. Patrons would enter the Library through a vestibule in the main entry which allows the Library to choose their hours of operation separate from the PHS campus hours. Across the vestibule is a conservatory that will be accessible by patrons for reading and relaxing during open hours. The Library director provided PHS program needs for planning purposes which we have been able to incorporate into the proposed plan. They included a separate entrance, a prominent location, a drive -thru book drop, a truck delivery entrance, approximately 6000 square feet of library (6600 are planned), access to adjoining rental spaces for meetings, presentations and parties, (1500 square feet of space that can be divided into three rooms). The Library indicated that access to a cafe /coffee shop is desired. The plan incorporates access for Library patrons to the cafe that we would normally plan into our Town Center. It is anticipated that this will be a popular feature for the new Library. PHS is pleased to incorporate the Library into a prominent space on campus as we believe there is mutual benefit in pairing the Library on campus. It is an amenity of which many residents will become patrons and volunteers. Outdoor Environment: Lakeshore Setback PHS identified as an important goal to increase the setback from Lake Johanna. The current building is set back from the lake 100 feet; City ordinance requires 50 feet. The proposed building configuration allows a greater setback from the lake. The north end of the crescent is 135 feet at the closest point. The south/east end of the crescent is 280 feet set back and the middle of the building sits 400 feet back from the lakeshore. These increased setbacks allow more protection for the lakeshore and increased green space between the lake and building improving views to and from the lake. Shoreline Buffer Currently the edge along the lakeshore has a fairly steep grade to the lake. This grade would be maintained and this edge left as a natural buffer for the shoreline which also maintains a more natural character to the shoreline. Green Space The new development will result in losses to existing tree and vegetation making the new landscape and replacement plantings an important feature of the site. Importantly, the new landscape is intended to: provide visual and aesthetic enhancements to the site and new buildings proposed; mitigate impacts caused by development, especially for neighbors adjacent to new development; highlight unique features introduced to the site with its redevelopment; and organize the ways in which people will experience the site. This creates a significant project goal to increase the quality and variety of green space to be enjoyed by residents, families, guests and neighbors. PHS has engaged a Forester and a Landscape Architect to assist us in creating an outdoor environment that invites residents, families, guests to engage nature and in managing, improving and renewing the resources on site for the future. Their planning will provide us with a landscape resource management plan that will work to ensure planning and practices that will create an enduring and regenerating landscape. The draft plan is attached to this submission along with the Foresters report. The management plan will be updated as more details are added to the final landscaping plan. In addition, the Forester will be meeting with City staff to walk the site and discuss current conditions and proposed plans. Increasing tree stock health and creating longevity is a priority. Many new trees of varying sizes and species are planned and where ever possible healthy vibrant trees are being preserved with an undergrowth of seedlings to be ready to take their place as they age. The site is organized around two major spaces, each of which is comprised of a series of open spaces, views and vistas, and plazas, gardens, or unique features. An orientation to Lake Johanna is the major site feature. Stormwater management features are designed as focal points and supplemented with ornamental ponds; a promenade doubles as a fire lane around the north side of the new building, and terrain allows for the creation of a water feature surrounded by a "north woods" landscape. The trail and sidewalk system allows users to wander through linked ponds and weave through a variety of gardens like a butterfly garden with benches and gazebos for resting and watching. The outdoor chapel reading area and terrace elements overlooking gardens create opportunities for enrichment and sharing. The second major space is the significant common space that visually links the intersection of Lake Johanna Boulevard and County Road D to the building's main entry and the public library. A formal walkway bounds one edge of this greensward and a meandering walk lies on the other, offering a diversity of experiences for anyone approaching the public library from the intersection. Like the lake side of the site, several smaller gardens and gathering spaces provide exterior spaces for residents of the new development. Where the existing landscape occurred largely as volunteer woodland (where succession was the primary form of the landscape), new plantings will evolve as a planned landscape with a focus on accommodating activities programmed for the site. Still, portions of the site will remain in their current state, and here, the preserved landscape will be managed according to a plan that seeks to perpetuate the positive features of the remaining trees and vegetation. A Preliminary Landscape Management Plan has been prepared to identify the potential activities that will support the long -term viability of those trees intended to be preserved. A well currently in use on site will serve as a source for landscape irrigation. Supplemental screening will be shown generally on the plans but final determination of planting locations will be determined upon a site walk with each neighbor to the east and stakes will be put in where tree and shrub locations are desired. This is the result of a neighborhood meeting where we came to realize that screening means different things to different people. Some of our neighbors would like the screening to include strategically placed breaks so they can enjoy passage onto our trails and views through to the gardens and green space. This can be best achieved through a site walk when the buildings are constructed and the main landscaping is installed. Site Condition Improvements Storm water currently runs through storm pipes and sheet drains directly into the lake as was permitted as the site developed. Post redevelopment storm water leaving the site will have passed through NURP ponds designed for infiltration and sedimentation so that water leaving the site will be much cleaner. This should help improve the water entering the lake from our campus. The area not treated will be the sloped terrain down to the lake along the shoreline. This area will remain natural to aid in infiltrating and slowing the water in this area. Careful planning and engineering has resulted in no additional impervious surface being added to the site. Green Energy PHS is starting to explore the possibility of geothermal for heating and cooling of buildings. This clean renewable resource may have a role to play in redevelopment. Currently, we are just beginning to explore this option to understand if it is viable alternative. Lighting As we redevelop the campus we have the opportunity to decrease light bleeding into neighborhood by utilizing down lighting fixtures and those that shield light from leaving the site. A complete photometric study is being completed to ensure that proper levels of light are supplied on site and that as little as possible leaves the site. Building Design Main Building Architecture The new senior housing community is situated on the Arden Hills site to take full advantage of Lake Johanna views, curving along the existing bowl shaped terrain in order to limit the impact on the site and on adjacent neighbors. Its architectural style is reminiscent of the late 1800's Shingle Style, sometimes known as Seaside Style, which evokes a casual elegance with its gables, descending rooflines, and shingle siding. The warm earth tone palette is understated and allows the building to blend into its surroundings. The direction for this style was reinforced at each of the neighborhood meetings where we showed imagery of several styles and components and asked for input on elements that seemed to fit with the lake estate feeling without being too east coast or north woods. The same couple images were selected as directions to take and the same dislike was indicated for gambrel roof lines and dominant turrets. This direction allowed us to fully develop the architectural style most fitting for this site. The main building is three stories from the front /street side and four stories from the rear /lakeside as the grades drop away from the street to the lake. The fourth story would be visible from the lake. Much consideration has been given to proper architecture for the site and to the roof design. The building does exceed the height requirement under the R2 zoning of 35 feet. We have been working on a design that incorporates some of the space in the top floor units into the roof line in order to minimize the height. In general we are about 44 feet above average grade which is 9 feet above height limit. It is our desire to maintain as much green space as possible and keep resident neighborhoods as close as possible by designing the building vertically instead of spreading it out over the site. Underground parking will also be utilized by independent senior apartment residents. Sideyard setbacks in R2 and R4 are 5 feet. The building currently is about 50 feet from the east property line. The building proposed would be about 70 feet from the property line. This end of the building is angled so that the view from the neighbor's property will look more down the line of the building and into the rear yard area and not just directly at the end of the building. Brownstone Architecture These three senior apartment buildings are designed as two stories that blend elements from the main building with smaller residential elements. The Brownstones would have underground parking for residents and parking lot for visitors. Each unit would have a patio or balcony area. The warm earth tone material palette is understated and allows the buildings to look as they belong on the overall site. Monuments The site is proposed to have a main campus sign at the main entrance on Lake Johanna Boulevard. A secondary smaller sign at the Shorewood Road entrance and smaller signs at the entrances to the Brownstone on County Rd D and the Brownstone on the west side of Lake Johanna Boulevard. A directional sign would indicate the receiving entrance off Sandeen Road. Within the site several signs would provide direction to the Library, Care Center and other points. A general campus site would be desired at the corner of County Road D and Lake Johanna Boulevard and would be integrated into a landscape element for a softer presentation. PUD Flexibility Although careful consideration has been given to each element of the redevelopment plan we are requesting the city exercise the flexibility allowed within the Planned Use Development ordinance. In order to best serve residents, create investment in community, build future tax base we are requesting flexibility in a few areas with consideration of some of the additional elements and goals that we have been able to achieve. The part of campus east of Lake Johanna Boulevard meets the R -2 overlay zoning requirements with the exception of building height. The highest portion of the proposed roof is 44 feet above the average grade while the R -2 zone allows a maximum building height of 35 feet. However, the average building roof height above grade is 37 feet. In order to mitigate the height, the building has been set back from the lake significantly and adjacent streets and properties farther than required. In addition, the main building is set on the lower part of the site so the height appears to be less than if the 35 feet were to be located at the standard setback of 40' from the property line. On the west side of Lake Johanna Boulevard, the proposed development meets the R -2 and N -B overlay zoning requirements with the exception of setbacks and number of dwellings per acre. The N -B front yard setback requirement is 20' while the R -2 is 40' The proposed building is set back 10'. The N -B has no requirement for dwelling units per acre, but the R -2 allows 5.5 units per acre. The proposed site has a density of 14 dwelling units per acre. The addition of extensive landscape amenities on the northeast quadrant of the intersection and at the south end of this location will help to mitigate the shortcomings of this site. Due to the size and shape of this property, a development that meets all zoning requirements will be quite difficult; the proposed design makes the best of a difficult property and turns it into an asset to the city. Although carefully considered the grading and elevation changes create significant tree replacement. Tree replacement in the inches contemplated in the ordinance is unable to be met on site. However, the landscape plan for the campus is extensive and will result in an incredible outdoor experience. The extra amenities in hardscape and landscaping will be enjoyed by all. The Landscape Management Plan that will be in place will ensure care and preservation of the natural resources on the site. We are asking for flexibility in meeting the replacement requirement taking into account the other elements that we are adding to the site and long term management plan of the resources that will be present. The City has an additional requirement that landscape completion be within 6 months of issuance of building permit or in some cases 6 months of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Due to the phasing and constructability of this site some consideration will need to be given to the timeframe under which the landscaping will actually be able to be completed. It is our intent to complete each area as quickly as possible, weather permitting, but it will need to be approached in phases. The submittal includes a site plan analyzing the zoning requirements and including the areas for which PHS is seeking flexibility. Phasing of Project Construction Anticipated schedule May 2011 Start of site work and construction of 2/3 of main building December 2012 move Lakeview residents then demo existing building March 2013 construction of east 1/3 of main building and connection July 2013 landscaping /hard scaping between lake, building main entry September 2013 Site work and Brownstone on County Rd D February 2014 Residents relocate from Sutton Place March 2014 Removal of Sutton Place and construction of Brownstone #2 September 2014 Removal of Houses construction of Brownstone #3 Spring 2015 completion of final landscaping /hard scaping improvements Process to date: 18 months 3 months 6 months 3 months 8 months 1 month 6 months 8 months 3 months PHS has presented a concept of the Library and overall plan to the City Council in a workshop format in August. PHS has presented a proposal for plans to include the Library on campus to the Library Board in August. PHS held four neighborhood meetings to discuss the proposed plans and objectives as well as answer questions and hear comments and concerns from each group. These were fruitful discussions that generated many good ideas and points that were incorporated into the plans that were submitted today, September 7, 2010. Discussion points that resulted in plan revisions include: Relocation of the entry off Shorewood Road further from the existing driveway and with better visibility coming from the neighborhood. Revised grading plan to preserve more of the screening by first neighbor and along part of Shorewood Addition of a sidewalk along Shorewood for students to walk to bus stop; addition of bus shelter for students. Idea to stake tree locations of screening landscaping with each neighbor with abutting back yard to preserve views and access they like and screen views to which they are most sensitive. Direction provided to architect on style and elements by each group; goal to make style fit lake estate setting and to incorporate some units into roof line to bring down height but preference voiced not to have flat roof. Request for elevation drawings which are being provided now that we have architectural style direction. Request for shadowing study and perspective views are in process Request to limit length trucks need to back to docks resulted in redesign of lower level and moving loading dock to location that could shorten backing Evaluation of lighting plan in loading dock area to ensure less light bleeds off site Ensuring adequate parking has been planned for to eliminate need for parking on Lake Johanna Blvd. Evaluation study completed and over 100 more parking stalls have been added. Re evaluating parking and drive isles at Brownstones especially the one on west side of Lake Johanna and replacing some area with more green space Adding low retaining wall on the north side of Brownstone parking creating a planter box so headlights will be blocked by planter box and landscaping can provide screening.

Presbyterian Homes' redevelopment of its existing senior housing campus on a site at the northeast corner of Lake Johanna Boulevard and County Road D in Arden Hills will result in impacts to existing trees in several areas of the site. At the same time, there are areas of existing trees that will remain unaffected by redevelopment and construction activities. In order to realize the potential benefits of the trees that will remain with redevelopment, a landscape management plan is proposed as a means of protecting trees and other vegetation in areas which are not impacted, and as a way of perpetuating their presence as a visual buffer, wildlife habitat, and aesthetic benefit for the site and surrounding areas. This landscape management plan may, in some cases, recommend removal of trees and other vegetation in the interests of promoting viable, healthy trees that are recognized as "significant" by the City of Arden Hills' Zoning Code, as well as smaller trees that, by virtue of this landscape management plan, will be perpetuated so that they can reach "significant" status. In some cases, the landscape management plan will encourage the removal of some trees or portions of trees that pose a hazard to valuable tree resources and humans that might be present in areas of preserved trees. The plan identifies maintenance practices to be performed during and after construction. These activities are intended to promote tree health and vitality in trees that will remain after completion of redevelopment activities, but importantly includes a regular review of the health of trees during construction activities. The actions taken as a part of the landscape management plan will follow best practices for tree and root zone protection during construction activities, construction and post construction care, tree removal and root pruning, and other practices that promote preservation and perpetuation of the trees intended to remain. Finally, the plan recommends a planting strategy to augment those trees intended to remain, further perpetuating the long term viability of preserved wooded areas —for trees deemed significant and other trees in the areas defined in the landscape management plan. This document is posed as a preliminary landscape management plan. The ways in which the proposed development might impact tree resources will only be fully understood when construction plans have been finalized, and changes to the natural systems the support the growth of trees in the landscape management zones are more definitively recognized. In some cases, landscape management activities and the finalization of this plan will occur "in the field" under the direction of a certified forester. Regardless of the final form of development, the goals of protecting trees that would not otherwise be affected by construction activities or the proposed development and preserving the long term viability of the identified landscape management zones remain firm. Conditions Impacts to trees Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills Preliminary Landscape Management Plan Page 2 Tree resources on the site were inventoried and analyzed by Steve Nicholson, a certified forester. The Forester's Report, (dated 7 September 2010), is included in the Appendix to this plan. The report characterizes the general conditions of the site and trees identified as significant according to the city's Zoning Code. It notes the presence of several tree diseases and one soil -borne disease, all of which pose a threat to trees on the site. It further highlights the obvious presence of species such as European buckthorn and honeysuckle which have "heavily invaded" wooded areas of the site. Ash trees are also present on the site, according the report; although the report notes that none of the ash appear to have evidence of the Emerald Ash Borer, the site lies proximate to locations in Saint Paul where Emerald Ash Borer has been identified. A list of significant trees present on the site is included in the tree preservation plan (which is included in the appendix). The Forester's Report analyzed historical aerial photography in an attempt to understand the longer term patterns of vegetation on the site. In 1957, the wooded areas currently present on the site were largely open. When compared to other nearby woodlands, the current woods are relatively young. The report concludes that the wooded areas of the site are in poor condition. The presence of tree diseases (with at least one being untreatable), invasive species, and storm damaged trees, along with the lack of nature regeneration in the wooded areas, do not support the long term viability of the existing trees. The Forester's Report identified 329 significant trees on the site. Sunde Land Surveying identified 317 in a recent survey; 12 trees are not accounted for in this survey, but current investigations are focused on locating those trees and verifying their sizes and conditions. An updated survey and analysis of impacts will be required prior to finalizing this landscape management plan. Construction of the proposed improvements will impact 208 trees, or a total 3939 caliper inches according to the tree survey. In areas unaffected by development activities, 109 trees will remain (a total of 2302 caliper inches). Conditions of trees is dynamic, with the specified condition of a tree in the Forester's Report subject to change as a result of natural decline, weather events, disease, insects, vandalism, and other factors. Ratings, such as those in the tree survey and Forester's Report, speak to current size and condition, and are based on the City of Arden Hills' definitions and standards for significant trees. Types and quantities of preserved trees The proposed development activities will not impact all of the trees on the site. A tree preservation plan has been prepared as a companion to this landscape management plan, and it indicates those trees on the site that are intended to be preserved. The tree preservation plan indicates that 109 significant trees, a total of 2302 caliper inches, will remain once construction is complete. In addition, a significant Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills Preliminary Landscape Management Plan Page 3 number of trees less than 8 inches caliper size will remain as a part of preserved wooded areas on the site. Anticipated changes While the intention is to protect as many trees in the wooded areas as possible, elements of the proposed development may still impact tree resources. Most trees to be retained occur on the periphery of the site, and in areas that will not be impacted by construction activities and will not likely be subject to changes that will adversely affect the vitality of the trees. In essence, those trees indicated to remain have a strong likelihood of becoming a part of the patterns of the landscape after development— subject to their ability to withstand the presence of diseases and other factors that may impact their health. Management In order to protect trees of value that will not be affected by the proposed development or construction activities, and to preserve the long term integrity of woodlands outside of construction areas, Presbyterian Homes proposes to undertake certain landscape management activities. The landscape management strategy is predicated on three primary activities: a. removal of trees and other vegetation that are not viable, that pose a hazard to humans or other trees, that are considered invasive species, that might suffer from disease or uncontrollable infestations, or that would promote the growth of more valuable species or trees; b. maintenance of existing trees, and defining proper maintenance for new trees; and c. planting new trees and other plants that will ensure the long term viability of wooded area as vegetative buffers between the proposed project and nearby homes, while offering habitat for many of the wildlife species that might be found on the site today (or enhancing opportunities for other desirable wildlife species). a. Removal Dead trees. Some trees that exist on the site are no longer living, but have not been removed. This is a common practice for landscapes that include wooded areas similar to those found on the site. Unless a dead tree poses a threat to nearby buildings, cars, or people, they are often left in place, only to fall as they decay. However, if left to decay, they may pose a threat to other more valuable species; in these cases, the landscape management plan encourages their removal. Hazard trees. Hazard trees are those trees that pose a threat to humans or to other trees. In some cases, an entire tree might be removed, but the more common instance would be removal of a limb or some portion of a tree. Hazard trees will be identified and removed as appropriate. Invasive plants. The tree inventory notes the presence of several buckthorn, and visual evidence indicates a significant number of small buckthorn plants. Buckthorn is identified on the State of Minnesota's Invasive Species list as a noxious weed, and efforts will be made to remove it. Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills Preliminary Landscape Management Plan Page 4 Buckthorn removal is a true management activity, made difficult by the plant's inherent vigor, its vigorous root system, and the fact that the plant spreads by seeds eaten by birds. There are no natural controls for buckthorn, such as diseases or insects that would otherwise limit the plant's spread. Removing —or more correctly controlling, buckthorn will be an on -going maintenance operation. It's an important activity, however, as buckthorn's vigorous growth can easily thwart the growth of more valued trees and plants in the buffer. Initial removal will be scheduled as a part of the early stages of the redevelopment project; on -going removal will likely be necessary due to the vigorous regeneration potential of Buckthorn. The removal process would include the following tasks: 1. Clearly identify locations where buckthorn exists and will be removed; train those who will be removing buckthorn to identify the plant to ensure that only buckthorn in removed; 2. Remove all buckthorn trees three inches in diameter and larger with power equipment; 3. Mark the stump of any removed tree immediately upon cutting so that it can be found and treated; 4. Remove the stump or apply herbicide (glyphosate such as RoundUp or triclopyr such as Brush- B -Gon) to any exposed stump (untreated stumps will sprout and are capable of producing fruit within four years); caution should be exercised with the application of any chemicals; protective clothing, rubber gloves and boots should be used when applying the chemicals; 5. Remove stumps with a shovel, grub ax, or stump remover such as a "Root Talon." This may only be effective for trees one inch in diameter or smaller. 6. The roots of buckthorn are vigorous, but not necessarily strong; some smaller trees may be able to be removed by hand pulling; hand pulling will likely be the most effective long term control method if performed on an annual basis (because buckthorn will be smaller and more readily removed); 7. Remove seedlings with a hoe to prevent further production of seed producing plants; 8. Identify locations of buckthorn on nearby sites; the seeds of buckthorn are easily transported by birds after being consumed, so a significantly larger effort may be necessary to control buckthorn on the site; 9. Dispose of buckthorn debris legally off the project site; 10. Reestablish understory growth with species appropriate to the buffer. 11. Removal might also be achieved through basal bark treatment, applying Garton (12 to 15 percent triclophyr) in oil, diesel, or kerosene. Application is best in late fall when other plants have lost their leaves (the leaves of buckthorn are persistent, making it more readily identified in the fall). By spraying the lower portions of the trunk including the root collar until wet (but not dripping), and by spraying each stem of every plant, the plant will not leaf out the following growing season. Once the plant is dead, it can be cut and removed, or even left in place to rot. Infected trees. Elms in wooded areas of the site that have been infected by Dutch Elm disease should be removed. Removal activities might also consider nearby trees as infected trees in surrounding areas could permit the elm bark beetle to move to new hosts in currently healthy elms. Timely removal can help to slow the spread of the disease (in the wooded areas of the Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills Preliminary Landscape Management Plan Page 5 site and in the community in general), and may help maintain the health of other trees in wooded areas by preventing damage from dropping limbs. The optimal time for inspection for diseased elms is mid- to late -June. Anticipating infestations. Green ash, a tree well- suited to many areas of the site, accounts for a fair percentage of the trees in the buffer. Nature has endowed ash with the capacity for the kinds of changes that may occur here with development. There are other concerns for green ash, however. In southern Michigan, an infestation of Emerald Ash Borer has laid waste to tens of thousands of ash trees. Looking forward with the perspective of a landscape management plan, the Emerald Ash Borer has been found in locations proximate to the site, and the possible Toss of ash in the wooded areas of the site (and throughout our urban and natural landscapes). While we would not remove trees in advance of a possible infestation, a planting program would be planned so that new trees are reaching some point of maturity at the same time the green ash might be removed as a result of the Emerald Ash Borer. We are, in effect, planning their replacement. Without a management plan, the only replacement may be another volunteer species —and perhaps one that does not fulfill the goals for the sites' redevelopment Promotion of other vegetation in wooded areas. Some trees may be removed to promote the growth of smaller trees that might be more valuable as a component of the buffer in the long term. For example, removal of buckthorn, selective clearing of other ground layer species, and the removal of some larger trees that have evidence of a health or structural problem might allow for the more vigorous growth of other existing trees found in wooded areas, or for planting new trees that would eventually contribute to the effects of the wooded areas (including higher value trees such as oaks, which occur with limited frequency in the extant condition). With their competition removed from the landscape, oaks might be able to thrive and reproduce in some locations within the remaining wooded areas of the site. b. Maintenance One of the more important management activities for the site will be the performance of regular maintenance. The previous section identified tree removal activities, and while there may be an initial management effort that involves tree or vegetation removal, removal activities will continue. Through entirely natural processes trees will mature, decline, and die; they may be damaged by weather; or they may be impacted by the longer term effects of the redevelopment activities on the site. In any case, trees so affected will have to be removed. Other management practices will involve general pruning of existing or new trees to remove damaged, injured, or otherwise unacceptable limbs, or to promote the vigorous and healthy growth of trees in wooded areas. With the presence of human activity in even limited amounts in wooded areas, pruning will be an important management activity in order to prevent hazards to people. Pruning has not always followed sound arboricultural practices. Too often, a tree succumbs to the effects of poor pruning practices —years after the initial pruning. A good reference for pruning can be found at: Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills Preliminary Landscape Management Plan Page 6 c. Planting Appendix A: Appendix B: Appendix C: Potential plantings include: Forester's Report, dated 7 September 2010 http: /www. extension. umn. edu distribution /horticulture /DG0628.html. A key element of the management plan is the introduction of new plants to the wooded area. Selective removal of dead trees or hazard trees, as well as some of the impacts from construction activities, will result in locations where new trees can be planted. Plantings will be selected for their ability to thrive in this area and their contribution to the creation of biologic diversity. Locations for new plantings will be staked in the field based upon removed trees and construction impacts. Quantity Species Sizes 10 to 15 Swamp White Oak 3/4"-1 cal. 20 to 25 Bur Oak 3/4"-1 cal. 15 to 20 Red Maple %"-1 cal. 15 to 20 River Birch 3/4" -1 %2" cal. 30 to 35 Quaking Aspen 3/4"-1 cal. 10 to 15 White Cedar 3/4"-1 cal. 20 to 30 Alleghany Serviceberry %2 -1" cal. 20 to 30 Red Osier Dogwood %2 -1" cal. 20 to 30 American Plum %2 -1" cal. Newly planted trees should be protected against rodent damage or other problems that could injure or kill the tree. Managing the landscape of the site's wooded areas involves not only trees, but other vegetation as well. As noted in the list above, the plan for managing the landscape should include small trees, and possible ground layer species as well. Including these types of small trees and shrubs will help to establish more natural transitions at areas where portions of a wooded area are removed. Tree inventory spreadsheet (see drawings prepared by Clark Engineering, submitted separately) Tree preservation plan (see drawings prepared by Clark Engineering, submitted separately) 9/7/2010 Forester's Report Prepared for: Senior Housing Partners Prepared by: Stephen Nicholson CF Site Location: 3220 Lake Johanna Blvd., Arden Hills, Minnesota In early August, 2010 a tree inventory update and assessment was performed at wooded and landscaped property on Lake Johanna. A previous tree inventory was prepared by Sunde Land Surveying some years earlier. All field work and identification was performed by International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborists Using the City of Arden Hills definition of Significant Tree found in Zoning Code Chapter 13, Subd.167, our current inventory finds 329 trees on the property that meet this definition. Since the original survey site conditions have changed. Our update found: 1. Many trees in the original survey were too small to meet the minimum size limit defined in City Code, 2. Many trees have died since that survey, 3. Some trees have been damaged by storms to the point they are not structurally sound, 4. Some trees are now diseased and declining that were once healthy. We also found some trees misidentified (incorrect species) and added twelve that were not found in the original survey. At least three tree diseases are active on this site and account for many of the dead, dying and declining trees we culled from the earlier survey. One area on the north facing hillside has a soil borne disease, armillaria that is affecting many trees, killing some and causing dieback in the crowns of others. This naturally occurring disease is part of natural decay process that returns dead and dying trees back into soil. However, when under stress, such as from drought, otherwise healthy trees succumb to this disease. Drought from years past may be the stressor that has lead to the armillaria induced decline and death of so many trees at this site. Young, healthy and vigorous trees are not likely to be at risk from this disease. Also present are Oak wilt and Dutch elm disease. Only a couple of oaks appear affected which indicates it may be new to the area. Dutch elm disease has likely been on site and in the neighborhood for years and will continue to kill elms here and throughout Arden Hills. Most of the wooded areas of this site are heavily invaded with European buckthorn. Some invasive honeysuckle can also be found. More than 50 ash trees were identified but none appear to have Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) at this time nor is it confirmed to be present in the City of Arden Hills. However, this area is close to the original EAB find in Saint Paul, so it will be important to monitor for this pest as long as these trees remain on site. Inspection of an historic 1957 aerial photo of this area indicates that the east and north facing wooded hillsides were largely open at that time and that the current woods are relatively young 1 9/7/2010 Submitted, Stephen Nicholson CF Certified Forester #2369 when compared to other woods in the area like those found in Tony Schmidt Park on the north side of Lake Johanna. Many of the homes in this neighborhood predate most of the trees on this site. It is my professional opinion that the current overall health of the wooded areas on this site is poor due to the presence of tree diseases (at least one of which is untreatable), invasive species, storm damaged trees and little regeneration of native trees to perpetuate the forest. In order to address this problem, a solution -based landscape plan will be developed and implemented. It will include replanting native species and regenerating a sustainable wooded environment that will benefit the site, the neighborhood and the community. 2 ,T_. 2kRZENHIL October 6, 2010, Planning Commission Meeting Attachment B Resident Comments Shorewood Drive My Story I accepted a job in Arden Hills in the fall of 2001. It took me only a couple of hours, with the assistance of Yahoo Maps, to know that I wanted to buy a house on Shorewood Dr. It is an amazing, short, dead end street winding quietly between two lakes after passing by a soccer field and a stand of woods. I knew I had discovered the perfect, idyllic setting for my new home. My disappointment was the lack of a for sale sign in any yard. In the months prior to beginning employment in January of 2002 I watched for any house listing on Shorewood Dr. There were none. My first day on the job in dialogue with my new colleagues I explained that I lived at Fairfield Inn awaiting an opportunity to buy a home on Shorewood Dr. They laughed. But Garry told me of two of his friends that lived there that spent 10 weeks in FL each winter. He introduced me to them and I moved out of the Fairfield Inn and lived in Ben and Bobbi's home for tens weeks, while they basked in the Florida sun. Those ten weeks convinced me more than ever that I had to just bide my time until a house became available on Shorewood Dr. I alerted most of the neighbors of my desire to reside on the street. Doris, the matriarch of Shorewood Drive, called me in August while I was out of town and told me that her neighbor had passed away and that I should call his daughter. So, I made a rather awkward phone call and expressed my interest in purchasing her home. She took my name and number and told me I was number twelve on the list. I was crushed. Fortunately, with a bit of perseverance, I was privileged to purchase the home. I have considered myself very blessed to reside on Shorewood Drive for the past 8 years. We have neighborhood, backyard picnics together on the Fourth of July and Labor Day, as well as an additional open house or two during the year just to get together. Many of us regard our neighbors as some of our closest friends. We live in an age where the much needed spirit and meaning of community appears to be disappearing. On Shorewood Drive, we have developed a community; an important and meaningful community for each individual and family that calls this neighborhood home. While Presbyterians Home's proposal involves creating a potential new community, it would be wrong to create it in a way that harms an already existing community. Shorewood Drive is probably just one of the many wonderful neighborhoods in Arden Hills, but in our biased opinion there is nothing else like it in the twin cities. There have been two homes sold on this street in the last seven years. Both became available after the care needs of long time residents forced them to move. Neither house was listed with a realtor. Both houses sold very quickly, one within a day or two by word of mouth. The other sold within a few days after Jeri, a neighbor, placed a for sale sign in the yard. This proposal will significantly alter the character of our neighborhood. If there had been a 294,000 square foot building looming four stories above this secluded neighborhood eight years ago, then my story would read very differently. If you think this does not quite ring true, then come and take a walk through our neighborhood and enjoy the views of the two lakes and the many trees. You will quickly forget that you are in the twin cities. And finally, stop in at Doris' home for a cup of tea and she will share with you some of the marvelous stories that have come from living on Shorewood Drive for the past forty years. Peter Dybvad, 3151 Shorewood Dr. Arden Hills, MN Memorandum To: Meagan Beekman, City Planner Planning Commission Mayor and City Council From: Shorewood Drive Neighbors of Presbyterian Homes Frederick V. Fox Date: September 29, 2010 Subject: Citizen views of the Presbyterian Homes Concept Review, P.U.D. application, and proposed redevelopment Purpose We, the neighbors of Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills, intend to express our concerns about the proposed redevelopment of the campus that borders our street Shorewood Drive. If this campus redevelopment isn't done correctly we are the ones who will live with the hardships long after the construction is completed and the development managers and city officials have moved on to other projects. Although the proposed redevelopment is very attractive in many respects, some aspects are truly alarming and others are puzzling. Background Shorewood Drive was developed soon after the first Presbyterian Homes facility was built, and long before Presbyterian Homes added the Lake Johanna Elementary School (later Sutton Place) to their parcels. We have enjoyed many years of comfortable coexistence and interdependence. Some of our mothers and fathers have been (and are now) residents at Presbyterian Homes. We have occasionally returned the confused resident when they wandered down our street. More often we have redirected errant visitors and explained the different locations for Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills and of Roseville. Previous redevelopment efforts have stimulated discussions that while not always pleasant have at least been productive and ultimately have worked for the benefit of all. From their roots in Arden Hills in 1954, Presbyterian Homes and Services (PHS) has thrived and grown to become the fourth largest purveyor of senior living facilities in the country, and was recently named the 20 largest nonprofit in the Star Tribune's "14 Annual Nonprofit 100" report. At present, their website lists 36 facilities in Minnesota with more in Wisconsin and Iowa. It seems they have developed a type of building plan that allows an appealing and efficient Shorewood Drive. Page 1 of 15 delivery of service to residents. Now they return to Arden Hills and wish to replace the original facility with this more efficient building plan they have developed. The essential character of our locality would be significantly altered When we first saw the images of the proposal, we were stunned by the sheer massiveness of the main building and its proximity to our homes. The proposed building is large enough to encompass all of Target Greatland (Lexington 694) within its arc. According to PHS's maps the old lakeshore building has a footprint of 138,000 square feet. Target is more like 180,000 sq ft. While Target is all on one floor (as is the lakeshore building), this building looms 4- stories plus a pitched roof above elevation. At some parts of the building the peak of the roof rises 63 ft. above elevation. Who could think this would not produce demonstrable undue hardship to the neighborhood? Who would not realize this building is manifestly out of scale in an area zoned R- 1 and R -2 and populated with single family homes in every direction? Who could argue that this building does not unequivocally alter the essential character of our locality? Shorewood Drive. Page 2 of 15 ARDEN HILLS. TAR' ET GREATLAN AND PARKIN LOT SHOWN FOR SIZE COMP RI.SSON Figure 1. Both buildings are correctly represented in the same scale. See Appendix B. A 4 -story building 70 feet from the property lines is manifestly out of scale with the neighborhood, and alters the essential character of our locality. The Arbor at EagleCrest is about 1 /4 the footprint of the proposed building in Arden Hills. But it is a similar height building (4 story with a pitched roof) at a similar distance from the Stanbridge homes (The Arbor is 18 feet further away). The Arbor literally looms over the homes creating a distinctly different feel from the open, trees and -grass harmony and flow that characterizes our yards now. The jarring intrusion of the oversized building is exactly the sort of imagery that drives potential home buyers to look elsewhere. At such close range, a building that peaks around 55 60 feet cannot be completely screened, even with mature trees. Prior to the building of EagleCrest in 1994, the residents on Stanbridge had a rather seedy motel (Paul's Place) behind them. At the time there was also talk about a casino locating there. Perhaps a senior living facility did not seem a bad option. And yet now 16 years later the homeowners we spoke with are still bitter about what happened to them. More recently they have complained about the air conditioning noise from the Arbor to no avail. Figure 2. The Arbor at EagleCrest behind 1655 Stanbridge. Imagine how it would look and feel from the back yard. Shorewood Drive is 10 -15 feet lower in elevation than PHS. The effect may be to add another story to what is seen here. When buildings this size are so proximal to single family homes the harm is palpable and the resentments are long- lasting. Shorewood Drive. Page 3 of 15 As a final demonstration of how seriously the locality will be changed, two photographs from the backyards close to the east end of the building show how the area looks today. In Figures 3 and 4, if the building was built as planned, there would be no sky visible in these photographs. Figure 3. Imagine this photo with a building blocking Figure 4. If built, the building will come about to the the entire sky. The essential character of the area is pine tree in the center of the photo, and will be altered but definitely not improved. almost twice as tall as that tree. Our location is clearly different from other PHS locations Why would anyone think such a massive building could be built in the middle of a residential area? To get answers to questions like this, we undertook an analysis of the 36 facilities that PHS has listed on their website (www.preshomes.com). The details of how the analysis was conducted and the results are presented in Appendix A, Tables 1 and 2 with supporting documentation. Briefly we examined Google Earth, Bing, and county GIS aerial photographs to assess the proximity of these 3- and 4 -story buildings to single family homes (SFH). We measured from the closest wall of the PHS buildings to the wall of the closest SFH. First we looked at which facilities had SFHs with abutting property lines and measured the distance to them. We found: 1. For all the PHS facilities, the average (mean) distance to the nearest SFH was 644 feet. 2. For PHS facilities with at least one SFH abutting the 3- or 4 -story properties, the average (mean) distance to the nearest SFH was 164 feet. 3. For our neighborhood and the proposed building, the 70 -foot set back from the property line yields a 110 foot distance to the nearest SFH (i.e, building to building). Shorewood Drive. Page 4 of 15 Only two PHS facilities had 3- or 4 -story buildings closer to a SFH than us and those two facilities had SFHs on only one or two sides. The other sides had large scale commercial buildings We also conducted a second analysis of aerial photographs. Results can be found in Appendix A, Table 2. For this analysis we examined what was to the north, east, south, and west side of any PHS 3- or 4 -story building and classified what we saw first as either (a) single family homes, (b) larger commercial, governmental, industrial buildings, large -scale residential, or (c) greenspace. We then examined each of the 36 facilities that we could assess on all four sides. We found: 1. 70% of PHS facilities in Minnesota have SFHs only on 0 or 1 side of 3- and 4 -story buildings. 2. 74% of PHS facilities in Minnesota have same -scale commercial, nonresidential, or industrial buildings on at least two sides. 3. 94% of PHS facilities in Minnesota have same -scale commercial, nonresidential, industrial buildings on one or more sides. In other words, the PHS buildings fit with the other commercial, nonresidential, or industrial buildings in their locations. They don't dominate the skyline in every direction. They are not out of scale with their surroundings. The single family homes in the area perhaps are accustomed to having commercial operations nearby. One illustrative comparison At the Planning Commission's September 8 2010 work session, it was suggested that the PHS Stonecrest facility in Woodbury would be a worthwhile comparison to the proposed Arden Hills facility. At least one commissioner asked for pictures of Stonecrest. Figure 5 shows the Stonecrest locality. Whatever else can be said for Stonecrest, it cannot be said that it sits amidst SFHs on four sides. Rather it sits in the middle of an extensive area from Valley Creek Rd on the north to Pioneer Drive on the south, from Radio Dr on the west side to Interlachen Parkway on the east side. Within that area, there is not one single family home. There is a library, YMCA, Kowalski's, and an Allina Clinic. There are two very large apartment or townhouse complexes which may be owned by PHS. Across Interlachen from Stonecrest, there is a cluster of SFHs that front on another street. To complete the comparison, Figure 6 shows PHS of Arden Hills, and clearly reveals the residential character of the area independent single family homes in every direction from the PHS property. The only other commercial properties (the Cox building, the empty gas station, the triangle building) are residential -sized buildings. Shorewood Drive. Page 5 of 15 The choice of sites that PHS has been making in more recent times seems to indicate that they know buildings on this scale do not belong embedded in residential areas. Buildings like this are what they know how to build for efficient delivery of service, but they are locating them in commercial areas, or on the edge of commercial areas with limited SFHs on one or two sides. That is not Arden Hills; that is not our neighborhood. �.xr ran rv n:� rr.�. r r v/ O0 "x25. r .!f l" 3 v "!rJ r�rrrT/? l'� .v �::i %.x \nniii:i >i'i ::i ti i•'r,.; i: i? i? v, bi:???? r i iiik:{ i� i ::.'•ri:: ?vi:•'.µ.i:::i:':,::i: ;?.:iry:xn::.: y ;.;ryJ.• }•.un}:.: ?v:. w }:•?::3 r ::r ::r• }i }:4:4......... i. in...:.......:......:....:.: v.::::. :::::::w....:..:....:.......... n.................. ...:..:::::...�::!.•:y.::r::::: x:. n. w:::::: v: v. Figure 5. Stonecrest, Woodbury is in the center. A recent addition has nearly doubled the size of Stonecrest. There is a group of SFHs across Interlachen Parkway. Stonecrest is part of a cluster of nonresidential buildings, including the library, YMCA, large -scale townhouses or apartment developments (possibly owned by PHS). The key point is that Stonecrest is a more or less typical PHS development. Most (74 3- or 4 -story buildings have similarly scaled commercial buildings on two, or three, or four sides, and virtually all (94 have similarly- scaled commercial buildings on at least one side. We are the only exceptions that bring the percentage down from 100% PHS Arden Hills and PHS Roseville. Commercial buildings of similar scale to PHS facilities are in close proximity while single family homes are much less common. Shorewood Drive.

Among the 36 Minnesota sites, the Arden Hills site is truly unique. No other location is zoned R -1 and R -2 and filled with single family homes on all four sides of the site. A 4 -story building large enough to encapsulate Target Greatland is completely out of character with the surrounding neighborhood. The developers have told us this access will only be used by emergency vehicles. Employees, even though their parking spaces are the closest spaces to this access road, won't use it. We are expected to believe staff will wind their way through the long parking lot to Lake We have been told either the city or fire department requires a second access to the main building, and the only location that works is on Shorewood Drive. This choice is puzzling and concerning to us for several reasons. First the location concerns us because we have children walking to the corner of Wheeler and County D to catch the school buses. (A proposed sidewalk was not requested by us. It requires children to cross the access road directly to get on the sidewalk.) Secondly, a blind corner is close to the proposed intersection, and thirdly, in the winter the sloping road can be treacherous to negotiate. Safety will be an issue for everyone using the road. Why expose people to risk unnecessarily? Johanna Blvd and depart from there. As long term residents, we know the travel patterns and quickest ways in and out to Lydia and Snelling Ave. Employees will soon learn to use the emergency exit, as will many residents and visitors on this end of the long building. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no traffic study to refute our expectations or confirm the claims that PHS has made. Furthermore, if no access road was built on Shorewood Drive or County D, there would still be two accesses to the development the main access off Lake Johanna Blvd, and another access off Sandeen Rd. Does the city or fire department require a third access? The Sandeen access is very close to the assisted living wing and the McKnight building. Are those the areas most likely to need an ambulance? Shorewood Drive was never designed for nor intended to provide access to three shifts of employees every day. Why would anyone route traffic onto purely residential Shorewood Drive when County Rd D is just as accessible and a logical location for PHS access if a four -way intersection was created at Wheeler. If the access is needed for emergency vehicles only, there are better solutions. One possibility would be a gated road that only emergency vehicles could access. Northwestern College has a gated access on Lydia one of two access points for the entire campus. Bethel College also has a gated access on southbound Snelling Ave N. Perhaps the best solution is simple and low cost. Ten -foot walkways with hardened five foot shoulders are used within the PHS campus to allow access to the lake side of the facility for fire trucks. That walkway could simply be extended to the same location as the proposed secondary access on Shorewood and marked "emergency vehicles only" and perhaps curbed at the parking lot. Emergency vehicles would have access; staff and residents would not. In our analysis of PHS facilities, we examined the way PHS treats residential roads and access to their facilities. PHS is to be commended for their efforts to keep facility traffic separate from nearby residential traffic. Their entrances are often located on moderate to high volume arterial streets, county roads, and highways and separated from all residential streets. Some of them only have one access. Some facilities actively develop barriers to facility traffic on nearby residential streets. Specifically, 85% of PHS facilities in Minnesota do not mix residential street traffic with facility traffic. Figure 7 shows The Farmstead in Andover. The 3 -story building appears to have one access on the west side. Notice there are no SFHs on the streets with PHS accesses. Also notice that PHS did not connect with Orchid St on the north side though it would have been a convenient, low cost option. They chose to keep facility traffic out of the residential area. Figure 8 shows Ridgeview Terrace in Bloomington. Located on W 98 St and Normandale, Ridgeview has one entrance for the entire facility off 98 St. Even though Ridgeview has extensive frontage on Utica a residential street PHS chose not to access Utica, but to preserve separation. Shorewood Drive. Page 8 of 15 Figure 7, The Farmstead, Andover. The 3 -story building highlighted by yellow appears to have one access on the west side. Notice there are no SFHs on the streets with PHS accesses. Also notice that PHS did not connect with Orchid St on the north side though it would have been a convenient, low cost option. They chose to keep facility traffic out of the residential area. Figure 8. Ridgeview Terrace in Bloomington.

Shorewood Drive. Page 9 of 15 Maintain R -2 zoning Our homes are zoned R -1. As part of this redevelopment, we understand there is a proposal to change the zoning from R -2 to R -4 on the PHS parcels. We further understand the reason for this change is to bring the permitted unit density of the current site closer to the actual density even though the density will still exceed R -4 limits. A second reason for changing, R -4 permits multiple dwelling units and mixed use. Unless there is something we do not know about or do not understand we are inclined to oppose the zoning changes for the following reasons: 1. On the Arden Hills zoning map, I can find no place where R -1 housing abuts a R -4 zone. R -4 zoning appears to directly contradict the meaning of R -1 zoning when they share a property line. While the purpose of R -1 zoning is "to restrict encroachment in incompatible uses," The purpose of R -4 is to "permit the most intensive residential development allowed in the City." These are cross purposes; they conflict. Perhaps that's why they are not adjacent on the map. 2. We are told the number of units is not going to significantly change from what is there now. The number of units there now exceeds the unit density allowed in R -2 zones and in R -4 zones, so nothing is gained there. A SUP (Special Use Permit) can adjusts the limitations to permit institutional use. But a SUP can be trumped by a P.U.D. A P.U.D. in Arden Hills is an overlay district that does not change the underlying zoning. But with a P.U.D. in place, it doesn't matter whether the underlying zone is R -2 or R -4, and a SUP is not needed. Multiple housing units can be permitted; mixed -use can be permitted, based on the P.U.D. alone. Furthermore, if a parcel is zoned R -4, a P.U.D. is mandatory for redevelopment. In sum, it is difficult to see how anything gets better or clearer with R -4 zoning. The P.U.D. is what matters and the P.U.D. is mandatory. 3. If nothing gets better with R -4 zoning, does anything get worse? Perhaps. Suppose that in 5 or 10 or 15 years Presbyterian Homes decides to sell this parcel. Someone buys it and decides to redevelop it. Redevelopment, if executed, cancels all previous P.U.D. and SUP agreements. Now the underlying zoning matters greatly. Suppose they want to build high rise condos. They would have an easier time achieving that if the area was zoned R -4 than if it was zoned R -2. If, on the other hand, they wanted to develop the site into single family homes, the process would be straight forward with R -2 zoning. Let the high -rise developer fight the re- zoning battle. In sum, having R -4 zoning abutting R -1 is at least highly unusual if not operating at cross purposes. The value of R -4 zoning for the current project is nebulous at best. R -4 zoning might encourage the wrong kind of redevelopment in the future, such as high rise condos. Single family homes on R -4 zoning are not as valuable as SFHs on R -2. Shorewood Drive. Page 10 of 15 Other Concerns 1. We lose the soccer field the only open space in the area. We have used it ourselves, and enjoyed the youth soccer games. From the time it was a field behind an elementary school it has been a neighborhood resource from which we have derived benefit. In some respects, it served as our commons. It will be missed and we are diminished. 2 The brownstone on County D is a very large building (27 units 37,132 sq ft) and aligning it along the roadway creates a wall that encloses the area, creating an inside /outside feel that serves to isolate the space from the surrounding community. Further, it isn't an interesting use of the space. Other PHS facilities have created interesting building shapes that sit at interesting angles to the streets and approach roads. The main building at The Farmstead shown in Figure 7 is one example. 3. Trees. The city isn't saving any trees which is supposed to be one of the benefits of P.U.D.s The redevelopment will cover the only primary stand of "unmanaged" woods on site (see Figure 6). There will be a net loss of trees. As for trees for screening, even mature trees won't screen the proposed building. Undue Hardship As you know, "undue hardship" is a legal standard set forth in Minnesota statutes. Even though the P.U.D. process can circumvent the variance ordinances, the concepts of undue hardship on neighboring landowners is still relevant. The idea is to create better developments than strict adherence to statutes, regulations, and codes would allow developments where everybody wins, not developments where some people are manifestly harmed while others don't care. We have focused primarily on the third hardship factor a development "will not alter the essential character of the locality." "This factor generally contemplates whether the resulting structure will be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area." [Source: memo from M. Beekman to the Planning Commission, dated August 4, 2010. League of Minnesota Cities document contained therein] That criterion alone must be met before this development can be proceed. Deviations from statutes, regulations, and codes can be negotiated within the P.U.D. process to mitigate undue hardships on the developer. This raises the question, could PHS put the property to a "reasonable use" without negotiating departures from statutes, regulations and codes? We have not seen this question addressed by PHS or by Arden Hills. We understand that economic considerations alone cannot create an undue hardship. Could the PHS property be put to reasonable use without such a massive main building? Shorewood Drive. Page 11 of 15 How much is too much? We are told the P.U.D. process allows more interesting development by relaxing some of the constraints imposed by state statutes, zoning regulations, and building codes. The P.U.D. process encourages flexibility and negotiations. Developers get bigger, taller buildings and higher densities; cities get smaller building footprints, underground parking, more greenspace, and flora. One of the ironies of this development is that creative adaptation has been left out of the process. PHS is proposing the same old efficient, 4 -story building they always build in their commercial settings without any adaptation to the realities of the purely residential nature of the area. The exterior "look" may vary, the shape may vary, but the interior requirements dictate the exterior size. One of the good things about statutes and regulations is that they give you benchmarks which are needed to evaluate a building e.g., is it over or under 35 feet? The flexibility of a P.U.D. removes the benchmarks, but it doesn't remove the city's responsibility to protect residents from excess, from encroachment of incompatible uses. Can a building ever be too big? too close? Of course. Where do you draw the line? When is the harm so egregious that it cannot be allowed to proceed? When is more negotiation needed? When are all the stakeholders seated at the table? Recommendations There are many specific suggestions for improvements we have bandied about. Some have been suggested in the preceding text. At this point the most fruitful course of action seems to be slow down the process so we can participate at a more reasoned pace. The library is no longer a reason for haste. The only reason we see for haste at this point is to minimize our opportunity to understand what is happening to us. Last night (Tuesday) we were told as much. We were told delay will cost PHS as they try to incorporate changes from the city and from neighbors. 1. Slow down. Let's talk about specific issues that may or may not turn out to be problematic. Perhaps tonight's (September 29 open house at PHS will someday be seen as a good start and a helpful opportunity to engage both PHS and Arden Hills officials. 2. We would like to see a three dimensional model that shows the development with surrounding homes and elevations to correct scale. The need for this may have been mitigated by tonight's open house at PHS (September 29"'). 3. The size /proximity of the main building is clearly our most disturbing concern. Open the door to talks that address that concern. 4. Remove facility traffic from Shorewood Drive. So far we do not understand why traffic would be routed here when better options seem to be available. We are willing to talk, and to listen. Shorewood Drive.
