BACKGROUND
Oak Park Heights — Valley Senior Services Alliance (VSSA)/
Presbyterian Homes — PUD General Plan Review, Preliminary and
Final Plat, and Design Standards Review — McKean Square
Historic Village and 58 Street Tunnel and Parking
Allen Black, representing VSSA and Presbyterian Homes, has made application for
PUD general plan review, preliminary and final plat, and Design Standards review for
the McKean Square Historic Village site and the Boutwells Landing 58th Street tunnel
and parking. The proposed general plan is consistent with the concept plan approvals
granted by the City Council at their November 22, 2005 meeting, with the condition that
allowed for approval to extend through December 31, 2008. The concept approvals in
2005 included the following:
® 106 Unit Care Center
• Historic Village site including school, band shell, and chapel
O Memory Care Center, 28 unit
O Conservatory connection to existing Town Center
• Tunnel under 58 Street to business district
General plan approvals for the 106 bed skilled care addition was approved on April 24,
2007. That building is currently under construction. The memory care center and
conservatory connection will remain in concept approvals at this time. VSSA and
Presbyterian Homes also plans to bring forward concept plans for the development
north of 58 Street at a later date.
On December 13, 2005, the City Council approved a conditional use permit to move the
historic school house onto the Boutwells Landing campus. The general plan for this
building will be reviewed as part of the current application for the McKean Square
Historic Village.

Project History /Existing Campus. Ten years ago, Lakeview Hospital recognized a
need in the St. Croix Valley for additional older adult housing and services. Three
organizations, Presbyterian Homes and Services; Lakeview Hospital; and Croixdale
Residence, joined together to form Valley Senior Services Alliance (VSSA), a non - profit
organization to meet the needs of older adults in the Valley.
The organization envisioned a community that would provide a continuum of care that
would meet the needs of older adults as they age in the community where they lived
and worked. That vision became Boutwells Landing which now includes:
2
• Fifty -six village homes (side -by -side townhomes), completed in 2000.
• Ninety -four assisted living apartments in the Commons building, completed in
October 2001 (since July 2004, 29 of these units are dedicated to memory care).
• The Gathering at Boutwells Landing, a residential hospice service in the Commons,
founded in 2004 in partnership between Lakeview Hospital and Boutwells Landing.
• One hundred one units of independent living apartments in the Terrace, completed
in February 2002.
i A Town Center that Links the Commons and the Terrace, and provides convenient
services and opportunities for community, both for residents and members of the
larger St. Croix Valley community. Features include a town hall /chapel, a general
market, cafe, museum, bank, barber /beauty shop, educational classrooms, theater,
library, fitness center, two pools, and locker rooms.
• A Boutwells bus to transport residents within Boutwells and into town for shopping,
medical appointments, and other activities. The bus provides more than 350 rides
each month.
• Seventy-eight brownstone units (one level independent living homes) six coach
homes (detached single family homes), and 75 additional village homes (side -by-
side homes).
• A skilled memory care facility, that is now in construction, is located at the north side
of the existing Town Center and is to be a total of 106 units.
i A 28 unit memory care center, located at the east side of the Town Center, will be
reviewed for general plan at a later date.
Proposed Project.
McKean S care Historic Villa e. The historic village includes a local historic school
house which is already in place at the site adjacent to Norwich Parkway, a chapel
replicating the Second Presbyterian Church of Stillwater, a gazebo, and assorted site
improvements. The school house will be refurbished and is planned to be utilized as a
demonstration site for area school children. The exterior renovation includes
replacement of siding, trim, doors, windows, shutters, roofing, foundation strengthening,
front stoop and steps, and the addition of a replica of the original bell tower. The interior
will also be restored. The chapel and gazebo will be new construction.
The chapel will be a wood frame structure with lap siding and asphalt shingles. The
building is designed as a chapel and gathering space for special events and will be
designed for year round use. The building will contain restrooms that are accessible
from the interior and exterior. The gazebo will be utilized as a shaded sitting area as
well as band shell for special events.
The school house renovation will begin in the Spring of 2008. Construction of the
chapel and gazebo is anticipated to occur within the next two years.
Boutwells Landing 58th Street Tunnel and Parking. The general plan submittal is for
consideration of a new tunnel below 58 Street that will connect the new care center to
the undeveloped land north of 58th Street. A new parking lot, with 113 stalls at this time,
will be constructed on the undeveloped land north of 58 Street.
3
The ro osed tunnel has been designed with a secured access building which will be
p P
for the Boutwells' campus use only. The tunnel will provide access for staff who will
park proposed parking ark in the ro osed arkin lot, and residents to cross 58 Street to access the retail
shops on the north. There will be both a stairway and an elevator in the access
building. The building will be connected to a proposed office /residential building in the future, providing access for residents to professional services, as well as the new
business district.
Construction on the tunnel would begin after Stillwater High School begins Summer
break so not to cause an issue with the traffic associated with the school. The traffic is
to be re- routed during construction of the tunnel to provide increased safety
proposed
and to speed the construction. A stop sign would be placed on 58 Street at both ends
of Norwich Parkway, directing traffic onto the detour of Norwich. in addition, advanced
warnin g sig ns would be placed on 58 Street, describing the temporary traffic change.
Comprehensive Plan/Zoning. The area south of 58 Street has been designated for
high density use which is consistent with the senior housing campus. The area to the
north of 58 Street is designated for business /residential transitional uses. The area will
eventually be developed with office space and residential units.
The area south of 58 Street has been zoned PUD District. When zoning property as
PUD, the City designates an underlying district as the basis for compliance with the
ordinance. In that the principal use is a mixture of residential and business use, the
appropriate underlying zoning has been designated as R-B, Residential Business
Transitional District. Within that district, multiple family dwellings are allowed as a
permitted use and nursing homes and similar group housing is allowed as conditional. The area north of 58 th Street is zoned B -4, Limited Business District. Although on a
separate property, the parking lot, elevator building and tunnel are considered to be
accessor y to the Boutwells Landing campus. The City anticipates that the area north of
58 Street to be constructed with office space and residential units in the future. This
portion of the project will be considered under the PUD general plan of development
approvals that tie it to the remainder of the Boutwells Landing project.
subd applicant provided a plat The a licant has rovided lat of Boutwells Landing 2nd Addition for
preliminary relimina and final plat review and approval. The plat creates Lots 1 and 2 of Block
One of Boutwells Landing 2 nd Addition from the area that had previously been platted as
outlots. The subdivision shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer
and City Attorney and all requirements easements shall be dedicated.
Setbacks. The Zoning Ordinance under the R -B District requires 30 foot front and rear
yards and 10 foot side yard setbacks. The school, chapel and gazebo are all set back
at least 30 feet from the Norwich Parkway right -of -way and the chapel is 10 feet from
the east property line.
The B -4 District requires a 40 foot front yard setback, 20 foot rear yard setback, and 10
foot side v and setback. The elevator building for the tunnel is proposed to be set back
4
40 feet from the 58th Street right -of -way. The parking lot is well beyond the 10 foot
parking setback requirements.
Parking. The parking requirements for each aspect of the Boutwells Landing campus
is as follows:
Existing Units (Phase 1) Independent Living
Elderly Housing -- one stall required per unit 91 X 1 = 91
Existing Units (Phase 1) Assisted Living 1 Alzheimer
Five spaces plus one for each three beds 101 � 3 4- 5 = 39
Existing Units (Phase 1) Town Center
Three spaces plus one space for each 200 square feet
27,923 --1O %= 25,131 -3
Approved Units (Phase 111 In Construction)
Care Center - five spaces plus one for each three beds
106 °3--5=
129
Existing Units (Phase 11 Constructed) Independent Living
Elderly Housing -- one stall required per unit 78 X 1 = 78
40
Total Requirement for All Main Campus 377
The plans, as currently approved, include a total of 334 standard stalls, 22 accessible
stalls, and 14 proof -of- parking stalls for a total of 370 stalls. The previous parking deficit
was approved under the PUD in that it was anticipated that additional parking would be
constructed with subsequent phases.
The tunnel addition would not add an y requirements for new parking. North of 58
Street, a 113 stall parking lot would be utilized primarily for staff of Boutwells Landing.
By moving staff parking to the new lot, additional parking for residents and visitors in the
lot adjacent to the main campus buildings is realized.
The school building could accommodate approximately 25 persons, and the chapel 60
persons. At three persons per parking stall, the school would require eight stalls and
the chapel 20 stalls. There are 17 stalls, two of which are accessible, in the lot adjacent
to the proposed historic village. Additionally, there is significant on- street parking in
front of the historic village and parking within the lots at the main campus.
Access. Access for the parking lot will be constructed directly across from the new
entrance to the main campus on 58 Street. A crosswalk would be placed at this
location to access the parking lot and, with a new trail connection, to the shopping area
at Wal Mart and Lowes.
For the historic village, a drop -off would be constructed on Norwich Parkway. Access
from the sidewalks in the historic village should be made to the parking lot to the east.
5
Traffic Control Plan. As part of the submittals, the applicant has provided a Traffic
Control Plan to address the closing of 58th Street while the tunnel would be constructed.
Traffic would be routed on Norwich Parkway while 58 Street is closed. Construction
would not begin until Stillwater High School is in Summer break. The Traffic Control
Plan is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
plan A landsca e lan has been submitted for the area north of 58 Street.
p
There are no existing trees that would be impacted by the tunnel construction or the
parking lot. The applicant has proposed landscaping the berm along the north side of
58 Street. In that the area will be developed in the future, and the parking lot
expanded, this level of landscaping for the area is adequate.
As part of the historic village, a significant number of red pine trees would need to be
removed. The remaining pines would provide the back drop for the village. The
applicant has proposed minimal landscaping for the area in keeping with the historic
look that is desired for the area. Staff is in agreement with this concept.
The tree removal, tree replacement, and landscape plans are subject to review and
approval of the City Arborist.
Grading and Drainage. Grading and drainage plans have been submitted for both the
historic village and tunnel/parking lot projects. The grading and drainage plans shall be
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the Browns Creek Watershed
District.
Utility Plans. The utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
Sidewalks /Trails. The plans for the area north of 58 Street include a crosswalk from
the main campus to the driveway extending to the parking lot and then north to the
existing trail between Wal Mart and Lowes.
Sidewalk /trail connections for the historic village should be made to the parking lot to
the east.
Lighting. A lighting plan has been submitted with the location of fixtures for both the
tunnel/parking lot and the historic village. The parking lot light fixtures will be utilized
that includes a lens that complies with City standards. The photometric plans meet all
City requirements.
Signage. The plans indicate one new site sign to be located at the existing drive on
the north side of 58 Street. The sign is in conformance with Zoning Ordinance
requirements. The sign would direct employees to the parking lot.
Trash Handling. Trash generated from the school house and chapel would be stored
within the chapel in a separate room designed as such.
6
Building Design. The elevator building for the tunnel would be constructed as a one
story building with face brick and accent bands to match the existing buildings of the
main campus. The structure will be constructed with significant glass area for visibility
and security. The door to the building and tunnel would be secure with access only by
residents and staff. The building would be consistent with Design Standards.
The school and chapel structures, as part of the historic village, would be
constructed /reconstructed with a historic appearance dating to the time they were first
constructed. The buildings would have lap siding and architectural detailing to match
the appearance of the original structures. Both structures would have asphalt shingles.
The gazebo would be a wood frame structure.
Building Height. The building heights of both the chapel and school would be under
the 35 foot building height limitation. The tower of the chapel would be 53 feet, four
inches in total height. The school house tower would be 34 feet, four inches The
Zoning Ordinance allows for building height exceptions, but limits tower elements to 45
feet or no more than five feet of the maximum height of the building, unless granted by
conditional use permit. The building height of the chapel tower can be allowed as part
of the PUD approvals.

Within one year after the approval of a Final Plan for PUD, or such shorter time as may be
established by the approved development schedule, construction shall commence in accordance
with such approved plan. Failure to commence construction within such period shall, unless an
extension shall have been granted as hereinafter provided, automatically render void the PUD
permit and all approvals of the PUD plan and the area encompassed within the PUD shall
thereafter be subject to those provisions of the zoning ordinances, and other ordinances,
applicable in the district in which it is located. In such cases, the Council shall forthwith adopt
an ordinance repealing the PUD permit and all PUD approvals and re-establishing the zoning and
other ordinance provisions that would otherwise be applicable. The time limit established by this
paragraph may, at the discretion of the City Council, be extended for not more than one year by
ordinance or resolution duly adopted. (401.06.E.5)
