General Background
Facing an urgent need fov office space, Andersen Corporation commissioned MS&R to
"reinvent" an existing Kmart retail store at the St. Croix Mali, converting it for office use
in 1999. SC Mali LLC subsequently purchased the entire retail Mali. They are currently
designing the remainder of the Mali for Andersen office use, creating improvements in
efficiency, collaboration and identity in a Shared Services campus. Up to 700 Andersen
employees will be located at the site; several retail tenants will remain at the Mali for the
foreseeable future.
• Current Zoning: Planned Unit Development, (PUD). B -2 zone.
• Allowable use: Office and Retail are both allowed under the PUD.
PUD Requirements: Requirements are the same as those in zone B -2 and City of
Oak Park Heights general zoning code and design guidelines.
• Acreage: 22.79 acres not including the Kmart parcel (3.8 8 acres)
Proposed Improvements
Exterior improvements to portions of the building and site, including:
■
4,385 sf enclosed computer deployment/receiving area
• exterior seating area for proposed interior employee cafeteria
• exterior courtyard
• partial covered parking and walkway canopy
■ New entry, maintenance area canopies
• Entry signage at relocated facility entry; demolition of existing retail exterior entry
pavilions
PUD Amendment Page 2
These improvements, in conjunction with interior renovation currently ongoing, are
expected to satisfy the requirements of Andersen Corporation for the foreseeable future.
No additional modifications or changes to site, vehicular circulation or amenity are
anticipated at this time.
Construction Schedule
The above improvements will be completed sequentially, in coordination with various
interior construction phases; completion of all proposed improvements is scheduled for
December 2002.
Proposed Building Finishes
New exterior building finishes are selected as a mix of materials to reduce the mass of the
existing structure and to complement the existing rockface masonry, consisting of:
Prefinished corrugated metal
Andersen "Fibrex" Prefinished cladding
See building elevations for distribution of materials.
Proposed Landscaping
Emphasis of the plan must be the perimeter of the site, the immediate perimeter of the
building, and public boulevard areas. Landscape criteria shall meet OPH zoning code
section 401.15.E.10 for plant size and spacing requirements.
See Landscape plan for distribution and species.
Proposed Signage
Exterior signage, mounted on the building exterior, is proposed for the relocated entry at
the northwest corner of the facility; minor signage is also proposed for the new south
employee entry. New signage will be black anodized aluminum, pin mounted, non-
illuminated letters.
Correspondingly, existing exterior retail mall "pavilions" will be removed to provide an
environment more consistent with an office facility, significantly reducing the overall
signage area for the facility.
See building elevations for sign location and extent.
Watershed District
Although no Watershed issues are anticipated, this submission is being sent concurrently
to the Middle St. Croix Watershed and Washington County Soil and Water District for
their review.
