RE: Oak Park Heights — Oak Park Senior Living Phase 5 Senior
Apartment Building and Enclosed Pedestrian Walkway — Planned
Unit Development — General Plan and Amendment - Final Plat
TPC FILE: 236.02 17.03
BACKGROUND
Tim Nolde, representing Oakgreen Villa, LLC, has applied for a Planned Unit
Development General Plan and Amendment and Final Plat for the Oak Park Senior
Living, Phase 5 senior apartment building located near Nova Scotia Avenue and Lower
59th Street North. The application consists of a request for Building 5 as well as an
enclosed pedestrian walkway between Buildings 1 and 2. The General Plan is
generally in conformance with the Master Plan mated for the Oak Park Senior Living
Development as approved by the City Council.
This phase of the development will consist of a three story, 72 -unit senior apartment
building with an underground parking garage. The building will require the removal of
the two existing townhouse structures and the reconfiguration of the previously
designated road alignment. There will be 41 one bedroom and 31 two bedroom units.
The underground parking garage will provide 71 parking spaces.
The PUD for the Oak Park Senior Living Development, which included the Master Plan
and General Plan approval for portions of the project, was approved by the City Council
on May 29, 2013. This also Included the Concept Plan approval for Building 5. General
Plan approval for Building 6 is now required under this application. A Planned Unit
Development Amendment is required to allow the enclosed pedestrian walkway
between Buildings 1 and 2.
The review is based upon the following submittals:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Beth Diem of Archnet has provided the following narrative related to the PUD General
Plan and Amendment request:
The attached project represents the fifth and final phase of me Oak Park Senior Wing
project and an enclosed pedeshlan walkway between buildings one and two. it is our
understanding that the walkway and phase five building require a Plat Amendment.
Please find enclosed, the application for the Plat Amendment, with the following serving
as the project narrative.
Phase five will consist of a three story, 72 -unit apartment building with underground
parking. This facility will require the removal of the two existing townhouse structures
and the reconfiguration of the previously designated road alignment The layout of the
building is being used to create a large park that will serve as the central green space
2
Page 23 of 116
for the entire complex. The rzevised road alignment will ring the entire central park and
accommodate the tuming requirements of the city's emergency vehicles.
The dwelling unit count for the overall project under the previous plat was 359
(911312011), and would now total 346 units. This number includes the four townhouses
remaining on the corner of Nova Scotia and 58th St N. The parking count for the
overall project under the previous plat (9113/2011), was 308 underground stalls and 169
exterior stalls, for a total of 477. With the plat amendment, we are proposing 289
underground stalls and 176 exterior stalls for a total of 457 spaces. The exterior
materials will remain the same as previous buildings/phases, with variations provided in
color and configuration. The lighting for the building and site will also remain similar to
the previous phases
Currently, Building One provides a kitchen with meal services available for Buildings
One, Two and Three. The popularity of the meal service, and the need to transport the
meals on wheeled carts has created the need for the enclosed walkway between
buildings One and Two. The location of the walkway was chosen to minimize the impact
on Interior units, maintaining a conwenlent connection for the residents and providing the
ability for the existing parking facilities to remain operational during construction. It
should also be noted that the walkway cannot be located on the first floor (on grade)
due to the security measures required for a memory care facility. Exterior materials will
be consistent with the existing buildings
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Adjacent Uses. Uses adjacent to the subject site are listed below:
North of Site: Present Zoning — B-4, Limited Business District
Present Use — Highway 36 orientated commercial development,
and the Xcel Energy power line easement
South of Site: Present Zoning — O, Open Space and R-1 Single Family
Residential District
Present Use — City park land and a single-family neighborhood
West of Site: Present Zoning — B4, Limited Business District
Present Use — Lowe's/CSM Commercial development
East of Site: Present Zoning — B-4/PUD, Residential Planned Unit Development
Present Use — Existing Memory/Senior Care and Senior Living, and
Oakgreen Avenue
Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan originally designated this area
as medium density residential. The increase in number of approved units placed the
area Into a high density residential classification for land use purposes. The land use
classification of the Comprehensive Plan was changed to high density residential in
2011.

Page 24 of 116
Zoning. This property has been designated as B-4, Limited Business District which
accommodates residential development as a conditional use. As such, the underlying
base zoning district is B-4, Limited Business District with a PUD overlay. The B-4,
Limited Business District lists two-family, townhomes and multiple family dwellings as a
conditional use. The performance standards of the R-3 Multiple Family District must be
complied with for residential development in the B-4 Limited Business District.
Final Plat. The Applicant has provided a Final Plat for Oak Park Senior Living Second
Addition. The Final Plat, as well as the dedication and vacation of any easements shall
be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and City Attomey.
Park Dedication. Park dedication has been satisfied for this area. The applicant paid
the maximum percentage (14%) of equivalent cash value as part of the original
approvals in 2006.
Project Density/Open Space. Section 401.15.0.3 of the Zoning Ordinance
establishes the density thresholds for residential properties. Elderly housing requires
1,000 square feet of land area per unit excluding right-of-way and wetlands. The
multiple family requirement is 2,500 square feet per unit.
The property is 770,186 square feet. With a total of 350 units proposed, the resulting
density is 2,200 square feet per unit. As long as the project stays as a senior rental
complex, it would meet density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The
development agreement has included a provision to assure that the project remains as
senior rental and is not converted to non -restricted rental housing.
Proposed Street Access. The existing roadway system that was developed for the
Oakgreen Village and Oakgreen Commons projects will remain in place except for the
closure of the access from Nova Scotia Avenue to Lower 59th Street North. The new
building will block that entrance, so that all access to the development will be from
Upper 58th Street North. The access at Nova Scotia Avenue will be 48 feet, 7 inches
and narrow to the existing street network that is 28 feet wide. No parking will be
allowed on the street network and there will be no street medians on Upper 58th Street
North at the entrance to the development.
Allen Eisinger, the Fire Chief of the Bayport Fire Department has reviewed the plans
and made comments as found in the attached memo (Exhibit 35). The Applicant has
altered the plans and provided turning movements diagrams to show how access will be
provided for the ladder truck. Staff has Indicated that the access is somewhat tight in
front of the new building adjacent to the parking lot medians. The Applicant will provide
a revised plan, indicating a reduction In the median size or elimination of a parking stall.
Additionally, the access between the new building and the dog park would be signed so
that there is no left tum allowed. That would allow easier access and traffic flow through
this portion of the development.
Trails/Sidewalks. The Site Plan as attached includes the locations of the existing
public trails and the proposed/existing concrete sidewalks for Building 5. The sidewalk
4
Page 25 of 116
system is well integrated with the City trail system and access is provided to the building
entrance as well as around the dog park and park area. Overall the plan shows, a well-
connected trail and sidewalk system.
Setbacks. Within a PUD, the base district setback requirements (R-3) are applied only
to the perimeter of the project. The R-3 District specifies setback requirements as
follows: 30 feet front yard, 30 feet rear yard, and 20 feet side yard. If the lot is on a
comer, not less than 30 feet from a lot line is required for side yards. The PUD section
of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that buildings should be located at least 20 feet from
the back of a curb line from roadways as part of the intemal street pattem. Additionally,
the ordinance specifies that no building within the project shall be nearer to another
building by one-half the sum of the building heights of the two buildings.
Building 5 is setback between 20 feet to 27 feet, 8 inches from Nova Scotia North and
22 feet, 2 inches from the north properly line. Additionally, the building is setback 32
feet from feet from Upper 581' Street to the south. The side yard setbacks are met, but
the front yard setback to Nova Scotia Avenue is less than 30 feet. The townhomes
were previously approved with a setback less than 30 feet, but they are one story
versus the three-story building that is now proposed.
Staff has worked with the Applicant and the current site plan includes a five-foot
increase in the setback to Nova Scotia Avenue North from the original application. Staff
found that at least a 20-foot setback to the property line along with the wide boulevard
(38 feet 9 inches) of Nova Scotia Avenue North will be more than adequate distance
between the building and the roadway curb. This setback and wide boulevard situation
was also allowed for Building 1 that is 60 feet from the curb line of Oak Green Avenue
North. Building 1 is a four-story building.
The distance between Building 3 and the proposed Building 5 will be 50 feet. Building 5
will have a building height of 38 feet and Building 3 has a height of 26 feet. With a total
height of the two buildings at 64 feet, the distance between the two buildings is
adequate.
The Planning Commission should discuss the setback distance to Nova Scotia Avenue
North and determine if it is adequate.
Tree Preservation/Landscaping. The Applicant has provided a landscaping plan that
includes detailed plans for the foundation plantings around Building 5 and around the
dog parts and parts area. The City Arborist has reviewed the plan and found it
acceptable with a request for additional planting schedule detail and changes to
increase plant diversity. See Exhibit 33. The plan shall be subject to the final approval
of the City Arborist.
Grading and Drainage. Detailed grading and drainage plans have been provided as
part of the development submittals. The City Engineer has provided a review of the
plans found as Exhibit 34. The City Engineer and the Middle St. Croix Watershed
Management Organization shall review and approve the grading and drainage plans.
5
Page 26 of 116
Utilities. A detailed utility plan has been submitted. The final utility plan is subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer.
Lighting. A lighting plan has not been provided, but the Applicant has indicated that
that any new street light fixture will be identical to what has been used previously. It is a
full cut-off fixture with a flat lens. The street lights will be maintained and all electricity
costs will be paid for by the developer.
The Applicant has indicated that the same wall light fixtures are to be used on the
proposed building as what was approved for the existing buildings. As part of the PUD
approvals, the Planning Commission and City Council will need to determine if these
Mures are appropriate in that they are not full cut off.
Signage. The Applicant has provided a signage plan for the development. All of the
signs are freestanding with no building wall signage proposed. The signs are consistent
with the size and height requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and are consistent with
residential housing development signage. The sign posts at intersection comers will
assist visitors in finding a speck building in the development. The plans do not
indicate how the signage shall be lit. At the time of the sign permitting process, a plan
for sign lighting will be required.
Parking. The Zoning Ordinance requires the following for elderly housing:
"m. Elderly (Senior Citizen) Housing. Reservation of area equal to one (1)
parking space per unit. Initial development is, however, required for only
one-half (1/2) space per unit and said number of spaces can continue until
such time as the City considers a need for additional parking spaces has
been demonstrated."
A detailed review of the existing and proposed parking is found in the table that includes
the parking stall counts (Exhibit 2). With an overall total of 457 stalls, and 350 dwelling
units, the buildings in the project comply with ordinance standards for elderly parking
and leave additional spaces for staff and guest parking. Of the 467 stalls, 281 will be
underground and 176 will be exterior stalls. The Applicant has indicated that there is
more than adequate lower level parking that can be used for residents and staff.
Building 5 will Have 71 underground parking stalls and 73 surface stalls. Directly in front
of the building will be 20 parking stalls, two of which are disability accessible.
Snow Storage. The plans should be updated to indicate areas for snow storage. The
City Engineer should comment on the adequacy of these areas.
Mechanical Equipment. The Applicant's architect has indicated that the mechanical
equipment is located within the buildings or at ground level. The ground level
mechanical units would be placed on the north side of Building 5 and surrounded by
landscape materials. Any mechanical equipment that is ground mounted or visible from
adjacent streets shall be screened as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
51
Page 27 of 116
Trash/Recycling. All the trash storage and recycling will be internal to the buildings.
Building Height. Building 5 will be 38 feet to the midpoint of then gable roof. The
building is not in conformance with the 35 -foot height limitation of the Zoning Ordinance,
but the PUD process has allowed the other buildings in the development to exceed that
requirement. The Planning Commission should comment.
Unit Types. Building 5 will have the following unit types:
1 bedroom 1 bath: 750 square feet
2 bedroom 2 bath Standard: 1,125 square feet
2 bedroom 2 bath Comer: 1,350 square feet
2 bedroom 2 bath Sound End: 1,400 square feet
2 bedroom 1 bath: 1,025 square feet
The Zoning Ordinance Indicates that Elderly Housing must have a minimum floor area
of 440 square feet for efficiency units and 520 square feet for one bedroom units.
Building 5 as proposed is compliant with these requirements.
Architectural Appearance. The application materials indicate elevations and
perspective diagrams from various locations surrounding the development. The
appearance of Building 5 Is similar to the existing buildings in the development. The
building will be brick with upper level lap siding. The roof is hipped.
The plans indicate the material types and specify colors. The project architect will
provide a building materials board for review at the Planning Commission meeting.
The residential units are not required to be reviewed under Design Guideline
requirements, but as part of the PUD, the City can comment and require design and
material changes. The Planning Commission and City Council shall comment further on
the building appearance and materials as part of the review.
Building Connection — Building 1 and 5
The submittal included plans to connect Building 1 and 2 with an enclosed walkway.
Building 1 provides a kitchen with meal services available for Buildings 1, 2 and 3. The
popularity of the meal service, and the need to transport the meals on wheeled carts,
has necessitated the enclosed walkway between Buildings 1 and 2. The location of the
walkway was chosen to minimize the impact on interior units, maintain a convenient
connection for the residents, and provide the ability for the existing parking facilities to
remain operational during construction. It should also be noted that the walkway cannot
be located on the first floor (on grade) due to the security measures required for a
memory care facility. Exterior materials will be consistent with the existing buildings.
BA Limited Business Standards. Section 401.301.E.9 of the Zoning Ordinance
provides the CUP standards for allowing residential use in the B-4 District. The
standards are as follows:
7
Page 28 of 116

CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
Staff is favorable to this last phase of the Oak Park Senior Living project in that it will
provide a more unified development in building type and scale. The removal of the two
townhouse buildings is positive and the proposed Building 5 will provide a more
consistent land use and development type for the overall project. The park areas will
also create a central open space and gathering area for the residents.
Upon review of the application for the Planned Unit Development General Plan and
Amendment, as well as the Final Plat for the Oak Park Senior Living Phase 5 senior
apartment building located near Nova Scotia Avenue and Lower 59th Street North, City
Staff would recommend the project with the conditions as follows:

dedication and vacation of any easements, shall be subject to the review and
approval of the City Engineer and City Attomey.
2. An amended development agreement, if required, shall include a provision
that the Oak Park Senior Living Phase 5 will remain as senior rental and shall
not be converted to non -restricted rental housing. The development
Page 30 of 116
agreement shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney
and City Council.
3. A revised plan shall be provided indicating a reduction in the median size or
elimination of a parking stall to improve access at the front of Building 5.
Additionally, the access between the new building and the dog park shall be
signed so that there is no left tum allowed.
4. The Planning Commission and City Council shall comment on the proposed
setback from Nova Scotia Avenue North to Building 5.

The attached project represents the fifth and final phase of the Oak Park Senior Living project and an
enclosed pedestrian walkway between buildings one and two. It is our understanding that the walk-
way
alkway and phase five building require a Plat Amendment. Please find enclosed, the application for the
Plat Amendment, with the following serving as the project narrative.
Phase five will consist of a three story, 72 unit apartment building with underground parking. This fa-
cility will require the removal of the two existing townhouse structures and the reconfiguration of the
previously designated road alignment The layout of the building is being used to create a large park
that will serve as the central green space for the entire complex. The revised road alignment will ring
the entire central park and accommodate the tuming requirements of the city's emergency vehicles.
The dwelling unit count for the overall project under the previous plat was 351 (9/1312011), and would
now total 346 units. This number includes the four townhouses remaining on the comer of Nova
Scotia and 58th St N. The parking count for the overall project under the previous plat (9/1312011),
was 308 underground stalls and 169 exterior stalls, for a total of 477. With the plat amendment we
are proposing 281 underground stalls and 176 exterior stalls for a total of 457 spaces. The exterior
materials will remain the same as previous buildings/phases, with variations provided in color and
configuration. The lighting for the building and site will also remain similar to the previous phases.
Currently, Building One provides a kitchen with meal services available for Buildings One, Two and
Three. The popularity of the meal service, and the need to transport the meals on wheeled carts has
created the need for the enclosed walkway between buildings One and Two. The location of the
walkway was chosen to minimize the impact on interior units, maintaining a convenient connection for
the residents and providing the ability for the existing parking facilities to remain operational during
construction. It should also be noted that the walkway cannot be located on the first floor (on grade)
due to the security measures required for a memory care facility. Exterior materials will be consistent
with the existing buildings.
Thank you for your consideration of the Plat Amendment, and we look forward to answering any
questions you may have.
Respectfully submitted,
Beth Diem

Ree Oak Park Senior Living Phase 5 Landscape Plan Review
I have reviewed the landscape plans submitted by Tim Nolda/Arlc;hoBayPro Inc. dated
4/10/2017. The following includes my comments and/or recommendations:
Landscape Plan (1-1)
The submitted plan includes a very basic array of deciduous trees, coniferous shrubs and
deciduous shrubs as shown in the landscape design and plant list The plant schedule
submitted is also very basic and Incomplete. The following are items that must be included in
the plant list: each of the symbols used on the landscape plan for the plant proposed to be
planted must be included on the plant list, the size and type of planting stock for each plant
and the quantities in the plant list must match with what Is shown on the landscape plan. The
plant schedule shows (21) Red Maple trees to be planted, I would recommend substituting
these trees with ginkgo or hybrid aim to add some tree diversity to the area.
Planting Specifications (L2)
The landscape notes submitted is acceptable. The landscape contractor is required to plant
trees and shrubs according to the approved planting detail submitted with the approved
landscape plan. This will be checked after planting and any deviations from the detail will
need to be corrected before the landscaping will be approved by the City, this needs to be
noted in the final plans.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this landscape plan review. Please
forward my comments to the development team for this project.

Reference: Oak Park Senior Living Phase 5 — Plan and Drainage Design Review
Dear Eric,
We have reviewed the plans and drainage calculations submitted regarding the proposed Oak
Park Senior Living Phase 5 development submitted 4/21/2017. Following are our comments and
recommendations:
ormwater/Draf nage
Stormwater comments provided by Tyler Johnson - Tyler.Johnwn@atantec.com.
1. The project is subject to review by the Middle St: Croix Watershed Management
Organization. The City shall be provided a copy of the permit approval letter from the
MSCWMO prior to construction activity.
2. Due to the site being located within the City's DWSMA, and in particular, the 1 -Yr travel
time emergency response area, infiltration is not allowed on this site based on
requirements of the NPDES Construction Permit.
3. Water Quality: The site will be required to meet the MSCWMO standards for water
quality. Filtration is allowed as long as the design prohibits infiltration.
4. Volume Control: The site is not required to achieve volume control due to no infiltration
being allowed on site (see comment 2).
g. Rate Control: The site layout has changed since its initial approval. The proposed design
is still under the current threshold for approved impervious areas and discharge rates.
As future develop occurs, more ponding and water quality features may be needed to
account for impervious if it exceeds the original approved plans.
6. Based on the supplied soil borings from Braun Intra; tec, the area that is being
constructed is primarily made up of Clayey Sand (SC) and Silty Clay (CL/1WL) soils. This
displays a soil characteristic of HSG C. Please update the HydroCAD model to reflect
this.
7. The proposed storm sewer system for Phase 5 ties into an existing system that currently
rims through the site and outfaft into Pond 1 to the north. Calculations should be

shown that verifies the existing storm sewer system capacity so water does not back up
at the upper end of the system during a io3►ear storm event.
8. Please indicate on the proposed and emisting HydroCAD areas maps where all the ponds
are located. Currently ponds B3, B2, and City Pond are not shown on the maps. Also,
please provide the overall drainage map for the overall site.
9. Emergency overflows should be noted on the plans.

Julie, the attached file has red boxes at the areas I have concerns with our ladder truck being able to negotiate the turn
into the parking lots with the proposed plan. It looks like they are deviating from the standard road width to a narrower
road on upper 581. (Although I could not really tell due to the poor scan quality of the plans.)
The data below is for our ladder and the access areas will need to be design to accommodate our ladder truck.
Overall length is 47' 3"
Turning radius Outside is 70'
Turning radius inside radius is 53'
Out riggers in the out position is 16'

Wall Signage — Multiple Occupancy Buildings. The sign regulations limit the number of
individual wall signs to one (1) per entrance, and each sign shall comply with the
maximum wall sign allowances permitted in the district. Tenants on building ends may
have a maximum of two (2) signs each to be located at the front and side elevations of
the tenant space. The individual signs shall be located only on exterior walls which they
are directly related to the use being identified. Rear signage is only allowed if there is
an entrance to the space, but not for tenants on building ends.

For the two multiple occupancy buildings, (Lot 1 and Lot 2 buildings), the table found as
Exhibit 2 indicates the allowable signage for each of the building facades. The table
corresponds to the building elevations found in Exhibit 4. The proposed signage would
exceed the allowances for multiple occupancy buildings in that the Applicant is
requesting three signs for and tenants, one on the front, side and rear. The tenants in
the center of the buildings would also be allowed a rear sign under this plan.
Staff has reviewed other sign plans and allowances for multiple occupancy buildings.
Rear signage has been allowed for the CSM development that includes Buffalo Wild
Wings, and the multiple occupancy building near Kowalski's that includes St. Croix
Cleaners. The request that the Applicant has made is reasonable, but Staff would
suggest the following limitations on size, in that the number of allowable signs will
increase from what is permitted:
1. There shall be no allowed signage on the walls facing each other of Lot 1 and
2. The distance between the buildings is approximately 16 feet. Signage on
these lots would not be highly visible. Signage on three facades would be
allowed for the east fagade of Lot 1 and west facade of Lot 2.

on any principal building and each sign shall be placed on a separate building fagade. A
total of 300 square feet of signage and a maximum sign size of 120 square feet or 10

time of permitting. The pylon and monument signage will be illuminated during normal
business hours, but will be required to be shut off one hour after closing. The building

Action Requested Discussion, possible action
Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public bodies
have advised):
I would like the City Council to discuss the concepts and possibilities of the sponsoring of some SCRCP
opening support. This would be outside of the Tier 1 or Tier 2 events. The City did budget $5,000 for
such possibilities:
Essentially it could include: (Some general ideas)
1. a gathering some of those people involved in the Tier 1 ribbon cutting — prior to such event.
2. Use of city funds to sponsor and/or coordinate the transportation of City Officials.
3. Creation and distribution of SCRCP opening souvenir / collectible that promotes the City and the
City role in the event and the greater project.
Of course, there could be other ideas or uses as well, but I would prefer to keep this relatively simple.
