Ten years ago, Lakeview Hospital recognized a need in the St. Croix Valley for additional older adult housing and services. Three organizations, Presbyterian Presb terian 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 villa e homes (side -by -side townhomes), completed in 2000. • Ninety-four assisted living apartments in the Commons building, completed in y � P October 2001 (since y Jul 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 p artnership between Lakeview Hospital and Boutwells Landing. • One hundred one units of independent living apartments in the Terrace, completed in February 2002. • 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 pp larger y er St. Croix Valle community. Features include a town hail /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, p rides appointments, and other activities. The bus provides more than 350 rides each month. - • Sevent y � ei ht brownstone units (one level independent living homes) six coach homes single family homes), and 75 additional village homes (side -by- (detached g side homes). • A skilled memo ry 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. • 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 ware Historic Villa e. The historic village includes a local historic school house place which is already in lace at the site adjacent to Norwich Parkway, a chapel the Second Presbyterian Church of Stillwater, a gazebo, and assorted site replicating ]� imp 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, g� fing, 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 m e chapel will be a wood frame structure with lap siding and asphalt shingles. The building designed as a is desi ned chapel el and. gathering space for special events and will be � P design year for ear 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 s Landin ■ 58th Street Tunnel and Parkin ■ . The general plan submittal is for consideration of a new tunnel below 58 Street that will connect the new care center to land north of 58 Street. A new parking lot, with 1`13 stalls at this time, the undeveloped will be constructed on the undeveloped land north of 58 }h Street. 3 The proposed tunnel has been designed with a secured access building which will be 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 58th 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 proposed to be re-routed during construction of the tunnel to provide increased safety 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 warning signs 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 Street is zoned B-4, Limited Business District. Although on a separate property, the parking lot, elevator building and tunnel are considered to be accessory 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. Subdivision. The applicant has provided a plat of Boutwells Landing 2 Addition for pp p preliminary and final plat review and approval. The plat creates Lots 1 and 2 of Block One of Boutwells Landing 2nd 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 yard setback. The elevator building for the tunnel is proposed to be set back 4 40 feet from the 58 Street right-of-way. The parking lot is well beyond the 10 foot parking setback requirements. Parking. parking . The arkin requirements for each aspect of the Boutwells Landing campus q is as follows: Existing Units (Phase!) 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 + 5 = 39 Existin• Units Phase 1 Town Center Three spaces plus one space for each 200 square feet 27,923 -10% =25,131 ÷3= 129 Existing Units (Phase 11 Constructed) Independent Living Elderly Housing -- one stall required per unit 78 X 1 = 78 / Units (Phase 111 In Construction) Care Center - five spaces plus one for each three beds 106 + 3 + 5= 40 Total Requirement for All Main Campus 377 currently approved, include a total of 334 standard stalls, 22 accessible The plans, as y pp stalls, and 14 proof-of-parking stalls for a total of 370 stalls. The previous parking deficit was approved under the PUCE in that it was anticipated that additional parking would be constructed with subsequent phases. The tunnel addition would not add any req uirements for new parking. North of 58 Street, a 113 parking stall arkin lot would be utilized primarily for staff of Boutwells Landing. By moving staff p arkin g to the new lot, additional parking for residents and visitors in the lot adjacent to the main campus buildings is realized. The school building din could accommodate approximately 25 persons, and the chapel 60 persons. At three p ersons p er parking stall, the school would require eight stalls and p g the chapel 20 stalls. There are 17 stalls, two of which are accessible, in the lot adjacent g 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 parking ccess for the arkin lot will be constructed directly across from the new main campus on 58 Street. A crosswalk would be placed at this entrance to the p location to parking o access the arkin lot and, with a new trail connection, to the shopping area at veal Mart and Lowes. historic village, a drop-off would be constructed on Norwich Parkway. Access For the hyst g p from the side walks in the historic villa e should be made to the parking lot to the east. g 5 Traffic Control Plan. As part of the submittals, the applicant has provided a Traffic Control Plan to address the closing of 58 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 p A landscape lan has been submitted for the area north of 58 Street. There are no existing trees that would be impacted by the tunnel construction or the parking arkin 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 p art 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. Utilit y Plans.

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. Si na e. The plans indicate one new site sign to be located at the existing drive on the north side of 58th 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 Budding 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. building The door to the buildin and tunnel would be secure with access only by residents and staff. The building would be consistent with Design Standards. p 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 buildin g heights hts of both the chapel and school would be under the 35 foot buliding gheight limitation. The tower of the chapel would be 53 feet, four g inches in total height. The school house tower would be 34 feet, four inches The Zoning Ordinance ance 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 conditional permit.
