AGENDA SECTION: AGENDA ITEM # REpORT # CONSENT 5A 208 STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: PAM DMYTRENKO , ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of first reading of amendments to the City Administrative Code Chapter III, Subsection 310.33, Subdivision 1 describing vacation leave eligibility, Subsection 310.43 Subdivision 1 describing resignation and Subsection 310.51 Subdivision 2 describing candidacy leave of absence and schedulinq second readinq for September 11,2007. I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve the first reading of the proposed ordinance amendments to the City Administrative Code Chapter III and schedule the second reading for September 11, 2007 for the following subsections: 1) Subsection 310.33, Subdivision 1 describing vacation leave eligibility, and 2) Subsection 310.43, Subdivision 1 describing resignations, and 3) Subsection 310.51, Subdivision 2, describing candidacy leave of absence. I II. BACKGROUND I Under current City Administrative Code, Chapter III, Subsection 310.33, Vacation leave Subd. 1, Eliqibilitv, employees are not eligible to use accrued vacation leave until after completing six months of employment with the City. Because recent case law has deemed it illegal to withhold accrued, unused leave from employees upon 1024VacationOrdinance . separation, staff is proposing to eliminate the Subd. 1 exception and allow regular and full time employees to use accrued vacation leave at any time during their employment without any specific waiting period. The proposed change to Section 310.33, Subd. 1 is as follows: 310.33 Vacation leave. Subd. 1, EIiQibility. Regular employees and full-time employees shall be eligible for vacation leave upon accrual. except that no employee be allowed vecation !eeve Ilnti! after cOrllpletiol1 of six months of employment The second proposed ordinance change to Subsection 310.43 Termination, Subd. 1 ResiQnation, also is an adjustment to City Code in deference to the same case law referenced previously that makes it illegal to withhold accrued benefits from employees who are either terminated or resign. The proposed change to Section 310.43, Subd. 1 is as follows: . 310.43 Terminations, Subd. 1 ResiQnation An employee wishing to leave the municipal service in good standing shall file with the employee's supervisor or department head, at least 14 days before leaving, a written resignation stating the effective date of the resignation and the reason for leaving. Failure to comply with this procedure may be considered cause for denying such employee future employment by the city and denyina termine! vacation benefits. Unauthorized absence from work for a period of three or more working days may be considered by a department head as a resignation withollt benefits. The third proposed ordinance change is to Subsection 31 0.51 Political activity, Subd. 2 Candidacy: leave of absence. Effective July 1,2007, staff adopted a new personnel policy (see attachment) to establish clear and reasonable guidelines for employees who choose to participate in political activities while employed by the City. While the City supports employee political participation, it is essential that such activities do not interfere with the performance of an employee's job nor be associated directly with the City. In order for the City Code to be in alignment with the Political Activity personnel policy, and recognizing that current administrative code unduly penalizes staff from participating in the political process, staff is recommending the elimination of Subd. 2 Candidacy: leave of absence. The proposed ordinance change is as follows: . 310 51 Political activit" Sllbdivision? Celldidacv' leave of 8bsence An employee who becomes a candidate for elective p'lblic office shall a'ltomaticelly receive a leeve of ebsence withollt pey and st"Jall perform no dllties connected with tt"Je position Ilntil no longer a candidate However, if the needs of tt"Je m"nicipe! service. req"ire, the vacancy created by the absence may be filled and the el1lployee's sen/ice terrnin8ted . . I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I "' IA. POLICY I . The proposed modifications to Subsection 310.33, Subd. 1 and Subsection 310.43, Subd. 1 bring the City's administrative code into compliance with State law and makes it more consistent with the provision allowing employees to receive their accrued, unused vacation leave upon separation of employment. . The proposed elimination of Subsection 310.51, Subd. 2 provides employees with the opportunity to become a candidate for political office, without requiring a leave of absence without pay, as long as the guidelines established in the City's Political Activity personnel policy are followed. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . In order to meet the publishing requirements for the second reading of the ordinance amendments, it is recommended that the second reading be scheduled for September 11,2007. I C. FINANCIAL I . . By amending Subsection 310.33, Subd. 1, employees will be able to use his/her vacation leave upon accrual without a six month waiting period. At this time, the maximum amount of vacation leave accrued by an employee during the first six months of employment is six days. . By amending Subsection 310.43, Subd. 1, employees who resign employment with the City without providing 14 days notice or who effectively resign because of an unauthorized absence, will receive any unused, accrued leave. ID. LEGAL I . In order to comply with State law and align with the City's personnel policies, it is important to make these ordinance adjustments in a timely manner. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Do not amend each ordinance. However, there are Sate law compliance issues as well as the desire to align the City administrative code with updated City policies. . Defer discussion until another date. However, it is important to act in a timely manner regarding these issues. IV. ATTACHMENTS . City Administrative Code changes . .

Debbie Goettel, Mayor ATTEST: Nancy Gibbs, City Clerk 5f)-d.- POLITICAL ACTIVITY . CITY OF RICHFIELD PERSONNEL POLICY DATE: July 1, 2007 SUBJECT: Political Activity Introduction The purpose of this policy is to recognize the importance and right of employees to participate in the political process while establishing important parameters for exercising this right during their course of work with the City of Richfield. . Political Activity As individuals, employees may express opinions on political issues and candidates during off-work hours when not discharging City functions; they may otherwise participate in public affairs but only to the extent that such endeavors do not impair the neutral and efficient performance of official duties or create real or apparent conflicts of interest. Employees are prohibited from directly or indirectly, during their hours of employment, soliciting or receiving funds or at any time using their authority or official influence to compel any officer or employee to apply for membership in or become a member of any organization, or to payor promise to pay any assessment, subscription, or contribution, or to take part in any political activity. Employees are prohibited from using their position of municipal employment to influence, interfere with, or affect an election campaign or the results of an election. . Employees may not engage in political activity while on City time or while discharging City responsibilities; nor may they act in a manner that suggests that the City either supports a particular candidate or political issue or endorses the personal political opinions of the municipal employee. Any act, which tends to identify the City with any candidate of political issue, or which otherwise tends to undermine the public perception of the City as a politically neutral and impartial body, is prohibited. Use of City vehicles, facilities, equipment, or other resources while engaging in political activities is not permitted. This restriction does not apply to municipal resources available to the public at large for use in connection with political activities, such as the use of meeting rooms. Candidacy for Office Upon becoming a candidate for public office, an employee may request a leave of absence for the duration of such candidacy. If the candidacy of a City employee for public office involves time commitments that are inconsistent with the employee's regular municipal employment, so that the regularly assigned duties cannot be fulfilled, the employee must request a leave of absence. The City Manager may grant such leave of absence if it is in the interests of the City and if the required duties of the employee can be satisfactorily reassigned. An employee shall be considered a candidate under this section upon filing for political office. . Election or Appointment to Office If an employee is elected or appointed to a position that is legally incompatible with municipal employment, the employee must resign municipal employment before assuming the responsibilities of the elected or appointed office. If an employee is elected to the legislature or to another full-time public office, the employee shall be granted a leave of abse~ce, as provided by law. If an employee is elected or appointed to a part-time public office which is legally incompatible with municipal employment, and cannot simultaneously effectively discharge the responsibilities of employment, the employee shall either resign municipal employment, or request a leave of absence to permit the employee to exercise the part-time public office. The City Manager may grant such leave of Political Activity 5A-3 Page 2 . absence if it is in the best interest of the City, and if the required duties of the employee can be satisfactorily reassigned. Appointment to Board and Commissions of the Citv Regular full-time and part-time City employees may not be considered for appointments to City advisory commissions. However, employees may be requested to serve in a staff advisory or liaison capacity as part of hislher job duties for the City of Richfield. Approved: Isl Steven L. Devich City Manager . . . . .

RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve the attached resolution approving a 60-day extension of a License Agreement between the City of Richfield, Kensington Park Retail, and CSM Investors for shared parking at the municipal liquor store located at 7700 Lyndale Avenue. I II. BACKGROUND I On May 8, 2007 the City Council approved a License Agreement (Agreement) between the City, Kensington Park Retail (Cornerstone Group), and CSM Investors for shared parking at the municipal liquor store located at 7700 Lyndale Avenue. The Agreement was effective on June 4, 2007 and is valid for 90 days, during which the parties are to evaluate its impacts. The Agreement is set to expire September 2, 2007. Cornerstone Group recently signed an agreement with the new owners of the Lynwood Commons Apartments (formerly Gateway Apartments) for 19 parking 081407 - Liquor store parking extension . spaces. These additional spaces bring the number of their off-site parking spaces to 50, meeting the Planned Unit Development requirements (19 at Lynwood Commons, 11 at the Lyndale Liquor store, and 20 at Hampton Inn). On August 3, 2007 the City installed No Parking signs on the west side ofthe 7600 block of Aldrich Avenue to limit spillover parking from Kensington Park. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I · Cornerstone Group is required by the PUD to have 50 off-site spaces for employee parking. · The City Council directed staff to install No Parking signs that prohibit parking on the west side of Aldrich Avenue from 11 am - 2 pm, Monday - Friday. This was viewed as an initial measure to control the amount of non-residential automobiles parking on the west side of Aldrich Avenue. Staff will monitor the effectiveness of the No Parking ban to determine if a different approach is necessary. lB. CRITICAL ISSUES I · The License Agreement for shared parking at the municipal liquor store at 7700 Lyndale expires September 2, 2007. · The City recently installed No Parking signs on the west side of the 7600 block of Aldrich Avenue. · Cornerstone Group recently signed an agreement with the new owners of Lynwood Commons for 19 parking spaces. · The 60-day extension of the Agreement is required to evaluate the effectiveness of the No Parking ban on Aldrich Avenue and the additional off-site parking spaces procured by Cornerstone. · The liquor store manager has opined that he has not noticed any problems with the shared parking arrangement and perhaps has seen a bit more business from the walk-over traffic. · CSM and Cornerstone Group have agreed to the 60-day extension. · Once the effectiveness of recent actions has been evaluated a final agreement can be drafted for presentation to the Council prior to the expiration of the 60-day extension. . I C. FINANCIAL I · Cornerstone will be financially responsible for the appropriate proportion of the maintenance cost of the parking lot for the 60-day extension, which equals $105. ID.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve the resolution authorizing the donation of used com uter e ui ment to Inde endent School District #280. I II. BACKGROUND I The City has 3 PCs and 2 printers that have been replaced with new equipment. The retired equipment is still in good operating condition, but the technology no longer performs adequately in the City's environment. The Richfield School District accepts donations of used computers and is interested in receiving this retired equipment. The City has made several similar donations to the School District in the past. I tII. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . The retired equipment was purchased with tax dollars from the same taxpayers that fund the school district. 0814PtrDonation.doc . . . lB. CRITICAL ISSUES . N/A I C. FINANCIAL I . The City would incur a nominal fee to recycle this equipment using the recycler under contract with the State of Minnesota. We must transport the equipment to the recycling center in the Midway area of St. Paul. . A quick survey by City staff revealed that similar used pes are selling for $65 - $200, and similar printers are selling for $130 - $300. Ours would be valued atthe lower end of these ranges because they are not refurbished and do not have a warranty. . If the City were to sell this equipment there would be costs associated withthat.effort and staff time would- be diverted from other projects. I D. LEGAL I . The donation to the school district is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.85 which provides: "Any county, city, town, or school district may transfer its personal property for a nominal or without consideration to another public corporation for public use when duly authorized by its governing body."

($17,500). I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve the attached resolution authorizing the reprogramming of $32,218 in Community Development Block Grant funding from Jewish Family and Children's Service of Minneapolis to Community Action Partnership of Suburban Hennepin County ($7,359), Home Line ($7,359), and H.O.M.E. ($17,500). I II. BACKGROUND I In February of 2007, Council authorized the reprogramming of $26,598 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from Greater Minneapolis Daycare Association (GMDCA) to Jewish Family and Children's Service of Minneapolis (JVS) at the behest of Hennepin County staff. GMDCA administratively was not following program guidelines. The $26,598 in CDBG funds is several years worth of funds that need to be spent as soon as possible to conform with Hennepin 081407 CDBG Reprogramming . County and HUO rules. Additionally, JVS was awarded $5,620 in 2007 COBG dollars. In July 2006, JVS was awarded the Hennepin County contract to provide the Basic Sliding Fee (BSF) Child Care Assistance Program rather than.GMOCA. JVS requested COBG funding from local communities to participate in the Community Child Care Assistance Funds program to help bridge a gap in service for those residents who are eligible for the BSF program, but who are on a 12 - 24 month waiting list for services. Since February, the County worked through the waiting list for the Child Care Assistance Program (Program). At this time, Hennepin County is reporting there is no waiting list for the Program in Richfield. In the past, a waiting list for the Program has virtually always existed. The County is attributing the lack of a waiting list to a boost in 2007 and 2008 funding (non-COBG funding). . Recently, JVS met with municipal COBG representatives to determine alternate ways to spend the COBG funds. The preferred option by JVS is to spend the funds on an employment services pilot project. The project is expected to coordinate employment services with the Child Care Assistance Program. The COBG funds, therefore, would be funneled toward employment services rather than daycare services. JVS admitted they were unsure if they can spend the COBG funds within the mandated time period since it would be a pilot project and the outcome is unknown. JVS stated that they are more than willing to return the COBG funding allocation to the community to be used on more pressing service needs. After a conversation between Richfield staff and the organizations currently being funded with COBG dollars (Home Line, CAPSH, H.O.M.E.), there is a definitive need for additional dollars to help the organizations better meet the needs of Richfield residents. The three organizations understand that if the funds are reprogrammed, this will be a one-time boost in funding. As COBG funding continues to decrease, the organizations will likely be receiving less and less COBG funds. t If a waiting list for the Child Care Assistance Program returns, JVS would be asked to consider submitting an application for COBG funding in the future. The next application period will occur in early 2008. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDA nON I I A. POLICY I · Richfield has for many years supported day care services for residents through COBG. The lack of need for COBG support to provide daycare services is unusual. · Three other organizations are typically funded through COBG: CAPSH, Home Line, and H.O.M.E. . The funds proposed for reprogramming are part of the 15% allocation to social service organizations. It is appropriate to reprogram to other social services. . . . lB. CRITICAL ISSUES I . JVS is unsure if the CDBG funds will be spent, even if an employment services pilot program is developed. · The CDBG funds are from past years and need to be spent as soon as possible. · CAPSH, Home Line, and H.O.M.E. are in need of additional funds to better support Richfield re~idents atthis time. If reprogrammed, the CDBG dollars would serve Richfield residents immediately. I C. FINANCIAL I · The $32,218 is unspent funding that has not been disbursed to JVS. · Richfield's 2007 CDBG allocation is $204,161. Only 15 percent of the funds can be allocated toward services. The 2007 allocation to service providers is as follows: H.O.M.E - $17,936, JVS - $5,620, CAPSH - $3,532, Home Line - $3,532. · The recommended reprogramming allocates funds to the three organizations ba$ed on percentages used in the past. ID. LEGAL I · Hennepin County oversees the CDBG allocations and reprogramming requests. . A public hearing is not required. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I · Do not authorize the reprogramming of funds and keep funds with JVS. I V. ATTACHMENTS . Resolution . Letter from Hennepin County I VI.

As of today, Hennepin County is not experiencing a waiting list for the Basic Sliding Fee child care program. This is in part due to the fact that in June of 2006 we received an allocation of $2,100,000 from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Children and Families from the Federal Deficit Reduction Act. These funds were used to reduce or eliminate our waiting list. As of January 1, 2007, we received an additional $5,000,000 increase in our annual allocation from the Minnesota Department of Human Services. With this allocation we feel that we will not have a waiting list in Hennepin County for the year 2007. If you need any additional information, please call me at (612) 348-8610. . . .

BACKGROUND I The City needs to hire appraisers to begin the rightof way acquisition process to keep the Lyndale Avenue Bridge over 1-494 Project on schedule for construction in 2008. Nicollet Partners is an experienced appraisal firm that the City used successfully in the Penn Avenue Bridge Project and the 76th StreetWidening Project.

STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: THOMAS FOLEY, TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: 13' t REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of the removal of a stop sign on 1 ih Avenue at 64th Street and relocate it to stop traffic on 64th Street at 17th Avenue. I II. BACKGROUND . l Stop signs were installed on 17th Avenue at 64' Street during construction of the Cedar Point Shopping Center as a traffic calming measure. Recently, a new entrance to the shopping center was opened resulting in the removal of one of the temporary stop si~ns. The new driveway entrance is slightly offset from the intersection of 64t Street and 1 ih Avenue, making replacement of the removed stop sign difficult. The stop sign would normally be placed in the middle of the new driveway entrance. This has resulted in only one stop sign on the north leg of a T- intersection without a paired stop sign on the south leg of the intersection, exposing the City to a liability claim. I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve removal of a stop sign on 17th Avenue at 64th Street and relocate the stop sign to control traffic on 64th Street at 1 th Avenue. ~ 0814Stop Sign 17th-64th . . . Seventeenth Avenue is planned to become part of the new Richfield Parkway and serve as a replacement for the vacated Cedar Avenue. As such, it will function as a collector street where stop signs should be eliminated orminimized. Seventeenth Avenue also serves to carry delivery trucks from the shopping center back to 66th Street and eventually Highway 77. A stop sign will only introduce noise from the braking and accelerating/decelerating of vehicles. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I · Collector streets should not have stop signs on them. Traffic is supported to flow freely on collectors. Also, the remaining single stop sign is not consistent with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I · Some residents have expressed concern about the increased traffic and vehicular speeds on 1 ih Avenue. · The long-term solution is to redevelop the area west of 1 ih Avenue and connect the street to Bloomington Avenue creating the new Richfield Parkway. FINANCIAL I · The cost to remove the stop sign is approximately $50, which will be absorbed by the City's Street Maintenance budget. I C. I D. LEGAL I · The City has a liability for stop signs that are improperly placed. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I · Install stop signs on all three legs of the intersection. The intersection does not warrant all-way stop control. The design of the new driveway slightly offset from the intersection of 64th Street and 1 ih Avenue makes installation of all-way stop signs difficult. I V. ATTACHMENTS I · Map of the intersection of 64th Street and 1 ih Avenue. I VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING · None anticipated. UJ z-</-" $: 5P-[ .. .... ca .. > .. o E CD. .~...

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve a ground monument sign that does not conform to the height clearance requirements of the Sign Ordinance at 6600 Lyndale Avenue (City Bella). I II. BACKGROUND I The City Bella Homeowners' Association and City Bella Commercial L.L.C. are requesting a ground monument sign at the corner of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. The proposed sign is part of an overall enhancement of the streetscape along both 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. Sign permits are normally processed administratively; however, signs that do not conform to the requirements of the City Code must be approved by the City Council. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION 081407 - City Bella monument sign IA. It POLICY I . Section 416.03 Subd. 6. Special approval from the Council. In the case of an application for a sign of unusual height, or location, the manager shall refer such sign to the Council for approval. No permit for any such sign, so referred, shall be issued without first obtaining the approval of Council. . Ground signs, when located in front of the building setback line, must have a vertical clearance of seven (7) feet. . I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . The proposed sign will not impede vision at the corner of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. . Both the residential cooperative residents and the commercial property owner support the proposed sign. . Forthcoming Sign Code revisions will look at whether or not this clearance requirement is necessary or appropriate. . The proposed sign will encroach upon City boulevard. The Public Works Department has approved the location of the sign. Upon approval the applicant must obtain a Boulevard Feature Permit from the Public Works Department. FINANCIAL I . The required processing fee has been paid. . Upon approval by the Council, the applicant must apply for a sign permit from the Building Inspections Department. This permit ensures that the installation and construction of the sign are in compliance with Building Code regulations. I C. I D. LEGAL . N/A I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Deny approval of the proposed ground monument sign. I V. ATTACHMENTS . Proposed sign plan . Site plan I VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING I . Jan Susee, City Bella Commercial, L.L.C .

STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: RANDY HUGHES, OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: ~ ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Public hearing regarding the attached resolutions pertaining to the annual Lyndale/HUB/Nicollet (LHN) maintenance assessment process" I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Approve the attached resolutions adopting the assessment for 2006 for Lyndale/HUB/Nicollet (LHN) Maintenance and proposing a similar assessment process to be implemented for 2008. I II. BACKGROUND I The Lyndale/HUB/Nicollet (LHN) maintenance assessment was established to recover extraordinary maintenance expenses in the LHN (Lyndale, Hub, Nicollet) area in 1981. The extraordinary services include irrigation and weeding and mowing of landscaped areas. The LHN Redevelopment Area is approximately bounded by 64th Street, First Avenue, 67th Street and Emerson Avenue. City staff has determined actual costs of current services to be assessed for the 2006 maintenance of this area and estimated costs for the 2008 maintenance. 08081hn0507 assess . I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I · Resolution No. 6372, adopted in 1981, established a policy for assessing the costs. · Staff has calculated the proper amounts to be assessed against every assessable lot, piece or parcel of land specially benefited. The proposed assessment was properly filed with the City Clerk, notice was published in the official newspaper and notices were mailed to the owner of each parcel described in the assessment roll. · Notice of the public hearing for the proposed maintenance costs in 2008 was mailed to all owners of commercial property in the area and was published in the official newspaper August 2,2007, as required bylaw. . I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I · On or before September 1 of each year, the City shall list the total unpaid charges for current services against each separate lot or parcel to which they are attributable under section 825 of the City Code. · The City does not assess residential properties for maintenance costs in the LHN maintenance district. I C. FINANCIAL I · Total cost for 2006 LHN maintenance services is $45,648.56. · City ordinance provides that special assessments for current services may be certified to the County Auditor for collection along with taxes. It is the staff recommendation that such payments be due and payable within the first year, rather than in installments. The City has the right to charge interest on the amount assessed in that the City provided the initial funds for the services. It is also staff's recommendation that the interest rate be established as six percent (6%). Payment may be made by the assessed owner before November 15, 2006 in order to avoid interest payments. Payments made after that date would include the interest payment. · The estimated maintenance cost for the period January 1 through December 31,2008 is $50,000. All commercial properties would be assessed on the basis of area, with each square foot of assessable property to be assessed equally, for the costs incurred in the maintenance of common areas such as street islands, the civic plaza and sidewalks. Generally, the businesses maintain the property behind the curb. In the event the City must perform this maintenance, the particular business is assessed for the cost of the special, individual maintenance of direct benefit to the given property. . I D. LEGAL I · The City Council scheduled a public hearing for August 14, 2007 on the assessment for the cost of maintenance services performed in the . . . . LHN development area for 2006 and to consider the establishment of a special assessment district for maintenance service costs for 2008. The City Attorney will be in attendance at the Council meeting should a legal question arise. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I · Council may make any changes to the assessment roll as a result of the public hearing by adding the phrase "and has amended such proposed assessment as it deems just."

STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: CHRISTINE COSTELLO, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: g//~ u( ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Public hearing regarding an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for language clarification of the policies of the Lyndale-HUB-Nicollet (LHN), Cedar Avenue Corridor, and the Interstate- Lyndale-Nicollet (ILN) subarea plan descriptions. I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Recommend approval of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for language clarification of the policies of the Lyndale-HUB-Nicollet (LHN), Cedar Avenue Corridor, and the Interstate-Lyndale-Nicollet (ILN) subarea plan descriptions. I II. BACKGROUND , · The Comprehensive Plan update is underway. As a part of that process the current Comprehensive Plan 1997-2007 is being closely reviewed by staff, consultants and legal counsel. One of the results of that review process is the realization that the relationship between some of the concept master plans and the subarea plans of the current Comprehensive Plan are not clear. The amendments propose to clarify that relationship. 081407-Comp Plan Language Clarifications . · 1996 The Lyndale Gateway: A Redevelopment Plan and Strategy. The purpose of the Lyndale Gateway plan is to provide a concept for the area that encompasses 74th Street to 1-494 and Garfield to Aldrich Avenues. · 1998 The Lakes at Lyndale: the Richfield Lake Area Plan. The purpose of the Lakes at Lyndale plan is to provide a concept for the area that encompasses Crosstown to 68th Street and 1-35W to Pleasant Avenue. (In the current Comprehensive Plan this area falls within the old Lyndale-HUB-Nicollet area (LHN).) · 2005 The Cedar Corridor Redevelopment Master Plan focuses on the area generally along Cedar Avenue north of 72nd Street. · All of the plans except the Cedar Corridor Redevelopment Master Plan were incorporated into the current Richfield Comprehensive Plan 1997-2007. However, as noted above, the relationship of these three Plans to the current Comprehensive Plan is not always clear. (The three Plans will remain a part of the revised Comprehensive Plan.) · The proposed amendments more clearly define that development in the subareas should be consistent with the appropriate master plan. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I ., A. POLICY I · The Comprehensive Plan is a policy statement of the City. It is important that the Comprehensive Plan be as clear as possible. · The Metropolitan Council must approve all amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. · The Planning Commission considered this matter at their July 23, 2007 meeting. They voted unanimously to recommend approval. CRITICAL ISSUES I lB. . . · Clarification of the relationship between the current Richfield Comprehensive Plan, 1997-2007 and the three area plans- The Lyndale Gateway: A Redevelopment Plan and Strategy, The Lakes at Lyndale: the Richfield Lake Area Plan, and the Cedar Corridor Redevelopment Master Plan is needed. · Because of ambiguities, questions could arise as to whether the Lyndale Gateway and Lakes at Lyndale plans were the official plans for their respective areas. · The Richfield Comprehensive Plan 1997-2007 does not mention the Cedar Corridor Redevelopment Master Plan. · The proposed clarification helps ensure consistency of interpretation. · It is not anticipated that the Metropolitan Council will have concerns regarding the proposed changes. · While the recommended changes are critical for policy direction, other outdated language in the subarea plans is inconsequential and will be revised next year when the entire Comprehensive Plan is revised. I C. FINANCIAL · N/A . . . ID. LEGAL I · Legal counsel was involved in the review process and along with staff expressed the concerns noted above, in the "Critical Issues" section. · Notice of this public hearing was published in the Sun Current and sent to property owners and residents within 350 feet of the subject properties.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 23, 2007 concerning modifying the Guide Plan and approved the modification; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on the amendment on August 14,2007; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota that the City's Comprehensive Plan is hereby amended to the language in the Lyndale-HUB-Nicollet (LHN), Cedar Avenue Corridor, and Interstate-Lyndale-Nicollet (ILN) subarea plans and is contingent upon the following: 1. The revision is submitted to and approved by the Metropolitan Council. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 14th day of August 2007. Debbie Goettel, Mayor ATTEST: . Nancy Gibbs, City Clerk . Volume Summary One: Executive 3.6 Subarea Plans The subarea plans cover nine specific segments of the City that have particular planning needs that require more detail. These areas are defined and described in VOLUME TWO, PART SEVEN, and the following Plan recommendations are proposed: A. L YNDALE-HUB-NICOLLET (LHN) . The LHN subarea has been the Richfield "downtown" since it was developed over 40 years ago. . The area has gone through two major improvement and redevelopment stages since original construction, the most recent of which added high- density residential structures and a mixed residential and commercial development. An extensive "face lift" of the "HUB" commercial structure itself has restored the commercial vitality that was fading in the 1970s. The Richfield Lake area (Crosstown to 68th Street and 1-35W to Pleasant Avenue) has been shaped by the water and soil conditions of the lake area. Both Lyndale Avenue and West" 66th Street deviated from their rigid gridiron pattern to skirt the lake and create a rare, non- perpendicular intersection of these two arterial streets. In 1997 and 1998, a planning process was undertaken for the area. The resulting master plan, The Lakes at Lyndale: the Richfield Lake Area Plan, is a concept for the area that is incorporated into the Plan by reference. Development should be consistent with the Master Plan. . The commercial (C-C) area along the west and east sides of Lyndale Avenue to q-J- the west between West 63rd and 64th Streets would be bordered by high density single family housing. Mixed-use projects incorporating high density single and multiple family housing and commercial uses would be encouraged throughout the Lakes at Lyndale area. The northeast corner of 66th and Lyndale would be developed as community commercial and office (C-C/O), with specific uses that would encourage day and nighttime activity. The regional commercial/office (C-R10) development in the southeast corner of 66th and Lyndale would be expanded to include the Pleasant/Grand Avenue block. Neighborhood commercial (C-N) at the corner of 67th and Lyndale would provide a transition from the commercial to the single-family neighborhood to the south. The single-family residences on the west side of Harriet Avenue between West 64th and West 65th Street should be converted to commercial (C-C) to provide for additional development and parking for that developed area. The single-family dwellings between Harriet and Grand Avenues and along the west side of Garfield Avenue between West 63rd Street and 1-35W should be converted to high-density (RSF-H) as a transitional use. Garfield Park is a strip of land nearly one block long and 75 feet wide that accommodates a tot play lot. However, all other park uses would intrude on the neighboring lots. The Plan shows the acquisition of single-family lots in order to provide a site of about one-acre in the shape of a square. The north half of the existing park could be added to the medium density, multiple residential development already in place to the west. The Wood Lake sector (south of West 66th Street between Lyndale Avenue and 1-35W) includes a recommendation to . convert the few remaIning single-family residences along West 66th Street to town homes and to acquire the two residences and one vacant lot along the north side of Lake Shore Drive to incorporate as open space, parking or accessory buildings for the existing high- density residential (RM-H) development. A bike-hike trail should cross the 1-35W freeway at 64th Street and go through the Richfield Lake Park and the commercial development. The large open spaces of St. Peters Church/School and the Academy of Holy Angels dominate the Holy Angels sector by providing relief to the intense commercial development north of West 66th Street. .- The Southeast sector (south of West 66th Street and east of Nicollet Avenue) proposes to convert the existing single- family housing to single-family, high- density (RSF-H) as a transition use along Nicollet Avenue, West 66th Street and the commercial (C-C) area at the intersection. The Northeast sector (north of West 66th Street and east of Nicollet Avenue) proposes an expansion of the commercial (C-C) into the east half of the block between West 64th and West 65th Streets and conversion of existing single- family residences along the east side of First Avenue and the north side of West 66th Street. . The HUB sector (north of West 66th Street between Pleasant and Nicollet Avenues) is the largest and most intensely developed sector of the entire subarea. Single-family residential housing along the east side of Blaisdell Avenue between 62nd and 63rd Streets and 64th and 65th Streets should be converted to high-density (RSF-H) and the lone remaining duplex at the corner of Nicollet Avenue and West 64th Street should be added to the commercial area Q"3 (C-C) to the south. As they near the end of their useful life in the next few years, all of the medium density, multiple dwellings along the east side of the railroad should be converted to townhomes or patio homes that are more consistent with the neighborhood. The medium density, multiple along the north side of West 65th Street should be expanded by converting the five single-family residences in order to provide additional parking and landscaped area. D. CEDAR AVENUE CORRIDOR While the east side of Trunk Highway 77 will soon be completely under the control of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), the area within the City should be included in the Plan document proposals. The entire area should be designated consistent with the MAC alternative plan supported by the City. That is, INDUSTRIAL (ID) with an overlay golf course use remaining if the City alternate plan is selected or if the new site track is selected. Land use calculations in the Plan document will show existing airport development uses and will not speculate on changes that would occur in each of the alternative development plans being considered for the airport facility. The Cedar Avenue Corridor, Redevelopment Concept Master Plan is the concept plan for the area. The area encompasses the area between East 63rd and East 72nd Streets. Development in the Cedar Corridor should be consistent with the Master Plan. On the west side of TH77 beginning at the north city limits, TAFT PARK should be expanded to include the one remaining single-family lot "inholding" on the corner of East 63rd Street and 14th Avenue and the two public service facilities should be designated QUASI PUBLIC (UTILITIES). . The Plan proposal for the corridor area between East 63rd Street and Diagonal Boulevard is proposed to be largely redeveloped to attract REGIONAL COMMERCIAL (C-R), COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL (C-C), and OFFICE (0), including office-showroom as the primary uses. Some commercial uses related to the office-showroom use would also be appropriate for these areas. The Plan proposal for the corridor area between East 63rd Street and Diagonal . Boulevard is proposed to be largely redeveloped to attract REGIONAL COMMERCIAL (C-R), COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL (C-C), and OFFICE (0), including office-showroom as the primary uses. Some commercial uses related to the office-showroom use would also be appropriate for these areas. . The space between Cedar Avenue and the TH77 right of way, north of East 66th Street, is too narrow to accommodate affordable high quality development of any kind, and future expansion of TH77 to support access to a new terminal facility on the north side of the MAC site will simply exacerbate this situation. Upgrading the TH77/East 66th Street intersection will move access to the west. For these reasons, the Plan proposes to reroute the collector/arterial street traffic now on Cedar Avenue, along 18th Avenue from East 63rd Street to a point where East 71st Street would intersect existing Cedar Avenue. This is exactly the same concept that was used for the Southdale development when Xerxes Avenue was moved one block to the west to follow the York Avenue alignment. The municipal state-aid street plan would be amended for that part of Cedar Avenue south of East 66th Street. . Additional development space will be provided by vacating existing Cedar Avenue from East 63rd to East 71st Streets and all of the east-west cross q-~ streets except East 64th, East 66th, East 68th, East 73rd and East 76th Streets. The Plan also proposes vacation of 17th Avenue from East 64th to East 67th Streets in order to provide a full block and a half site for commercial development. The intersection of East 66th Street and relocated Cedar Avenue would be a REGIONAL and COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL (C-C) development that would afford the opportunity to attract a major regional commercial use such as a hotel, together with a community scale commercial service support use. The existing church will provide a transition use from the community commercial north of East 66th Street, and SINGLE-FAMILY, HIGH-DENSITY (R-SFH) provides a transition between East 66th Street and East 67th Street. The East 66th Street Corridor plan addresses uses along East 66th Street to the west. The existing office building could be used as a model to encourage similar major corporate or multi-tenant office uses on assembled sites to the south. As the suburban office market continues to improve and the airport development continues for at least twenty years in the future, the feasibility of office and office- showroom use for this area will improve as well. The Diagonal Boulevard intersection provides a logical place to provide NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (C-N) development, particularly as long as access to TH77 remains. A neighborhood commercial use is already present in the form of a convenience store, although that specific structure may have to be displaced to make room for the relocated Cedar Avenue. The most southerly block and the east half of the next block that adjoins the redeveloped Washington Park should be RESIDENTIAL-MULTIPLE HIGH- . DENSITY (R-MH) to further reinforce the development of a . mixed commerciallresidential complex with an "indoor park" on the Washington Park site. Park land lost to the proposed mixed-use development would be replaced with an enlarged Wilson Park site. I. INTERST A TE-L YNDALE-NICOLLET (ILN) . The ILN area has been the subject of planning studies since 1985, and actual redevelopment work has been completed on "Phase I" (that part between Emerson and Colfax Avenues), and is underway for "Phase 2" (that area between Colfax and Lyndale Avenues). An earlier project produced the hotel at the corner of Lyndale Avenue and West 77th Street and "Phase I" of the redevelopment project relocated the Emerson Congregational Church to the corner of West 76th Street and Girard Avenue. The most dramatic change for the area, however, was the upgrading of West 77th Street to a four-lane, divided roadway with a 12-foot tall barrier wall along the residential properties to the north. This major roadway connection between three freeway interchanges improved both access and visibility for what is now one of the most desirable commercial locations on the entire 1-494 metro corridor. . The Plan proposal shows all of the developed regional commercial areas as commercial-regional (C-R). All of the remaining developable land is designated C-R or C-R10, except the northeast quadrant of 1-494 and 35W (Girard to Emerson Avenues and 76th to 78th Streets) and- the apartment site on 77th Street from Wentworth to Nicollet Avenues. 0[,5 Tax base and traffic distribution considerations require some non- commercial uses in this subarea and the major office tower use on the northeast quadrant site is the most logical choice. The Plan eliminates the City Garage site and replaces that inconsistent and inefficient use of valuable land with mid- density, multiple residential (R-MM) north of West 77th Street and regional commercial and office (C-R10) to the south. The City facilities should be relocated to the former New Ford Town, Rich Acres, other airport lands or other less valuable redevelopment locations within or outside of the City. If the manufactured home park becomes available for redevelopment, the east half would be an important addition to Lincoln Field and the balance can be developed and upgrade what is already in place. The Lyndale Gateway area, bounded by 74th Street on the north, 77th Street on the south, Garfield Avenue on the east and Aldrich Avenue on the west, was part of a planning study in 1995 and 1996. The concept that was developed proposes an integrated mixed use development south of 76th Street with shared parking and consisting of comercial, office and residential development while offering maximum protection for the adjacent neighborhoods. The area between 76th and 74th Streets is designated Community Commercial (C-C) and medium density housing (RMH). The Lyndale Gateway: A Redevelopment Plan and Strategy, July 8, 1996, is a concept for the area that is incorporated into the Plan by reference. Development should be consisten with this plan. . . . Volume Three: Plan Elements Section 1.2 B. Community Commercial (C-C) developments offer a variety of retail goods and services in districts of up to 150,000 square feet in floor area. Opportunities for new community level facilities would be limited due in large part to the dominance of the Hub Center, development of individual retail structures scattered along East 66th Street in the eastern part of the City, the proximity to the Southdale Regional complex in the west and the 1-494 freeway exposure along the south boundary. The Plan shows locations for community commercial development near Cedar Avenue and East 66th Street The corner of 66th Street and 18th Avenue should become a suitable location for community scale retail in the eastern part of the City after 18th Street has been improved to be the collector street (replacing Cedar), and q/{p the TH77/66th Street interchange has been upgraded. The scattered retail along 66th Street between Portland and Cedar Avenues should be consolidated at the 13th Avenue intersection into a community scale commercial development. This would provide for better and safer traffic flow on East 66th Street, permit better screening between the commercial and adjacent residential areas that is difficult to accomplish on an individual site basis, and better serve shoppers as well. Both sides of Lyndale Avenue from 62nd Street to Lake Shore Drive are also designated Community Commercial. On the west side of the 6400 bloci<Of Lyndale housino over retaillrestaurant's is intended to take advantaoe of the Richfield Lake amenity. A third Community Commercial area exists along Lyndale Avenue, north of 74th Street. . 6.1 Subarea Plan Descriptions A. L YNDALE-HUB-NICOLLET (LHN) The LHN subarea has been the Richfield "downtown" since it was developed over 40 years ago. The area has gone through two major improvement and redevelopment stages since its original construction, the most recent of which added high-density residential structures, mixed residential and commercial and an extensive "face lift" of the "HUB" commercial structure itself that has restored the commercial vitality that was fading in the 1970s. . The Richfield Lake area (Crosstown to 68th Street and 1-35W to Pleasant Avenue) has been shaped by the water and soil conditions of the lake area. Both Lyndale Avenue and West 66th Street deviated from their rigid gridiron pattern to skirt the lake and create a rare, non- perpendicular intersection of these two arterial streets. In 1997 and 1998, a planning process was undertaken for the area. The resulting master plan, The Lakes at Lyndale: the Richfield Lake Area Plan, is a concept for the area and has the following th3t is incorpor3ted into the Pbn by ref-ercnce. +Ae objectives of the M3ster Pbn are as follO'.vs: . 1. Proactively work with MnDOT on its Interstate-35W improvement project, ensuring that Richfield does not suffer a net loss in housing. 2. Take advantage of opportunities to provide more and varied housing. 3. Use redevelopment to provide new commercial investment and upgrade commerciallretail. 4. Take advantage of the aesthetic and recreational opportunities provided by Richfield Lake. 5. Solve existing neighborhood cut- through traffic problems. Improve transit opportunities. 0(/1 6. Improve the' appearance of the community's gateways. 7. Involve the community in the planning process. 8. Realize the kind of redevelopment success on this project that Richfield has experienced elsewhere in the community. Development should be consistent with the MasterPlan. To accomplish these objectives, the commercial (C-C) area along the west and east sides of Lyndale Avenue between West 63rd and 64th Streets would be bordered by high density single family housing. Mixed use projects incorporating high density single and multiple family housing and commercial uses would be encouraged throughout the Lakes at Lyndale area. The northeast corner of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue would be developed as community commercial and office (C-C/O), with specific uses that would encourage day and nighttime activity. The regional commercialloffice (C- RIO) development in the southeast corner of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue would be expanded to include the Pleasant/Grand Avenue block. Neighborhood commercial (C- N) at the corner of 67th Street and Lyndale Avenue would provide a transition from the commercial to the single-family neighborhood to the south. The single-family residences on the west side of Harriet Avenue between West 64th and West 65th Streets should be converted to commercial (C-C) to provide for additional development and parking for that developed area. The single-family dwellings between Harriet and Grand Avenues and along the west side of Garfield Avenue between West 63rd Street and TH 62 I 35'N should be converted to high-density (RSF-H) as a transitional use. Garfield Park is a strip of land nearly one block long and 75-feet wide that accommodates a tot play lot. However, . all other park uses would intrude on the neighboring lots. The Plan shows the acquisition of single-family lots in order to provide a site of about one-acre in the shape of a square. The north half of the existing park could be added to the medium density, multiple residential development already in place to the west. A bike-hike trail should cross the 1-35W freeway at 64th Street and go through the Richfield Lake Park and the commercial development. . The Wood Lake sector (south of West 66th Street between Lyndale Avenue and 1-35W) includes a recommendation to convert the few remaining single-family residences along West 66th Street to townhomes and to acquire the two residences and one vacant lot along the north side of Lake Shore Drive to incorporate as open space, parking or accessory buildings for the existing high- density residential (RM-H) development. The large open spaces of St. Peters Church/School and the Academy of Holy Angels dominate the Holy Angels sector by providing relief to the intense commercial development north of West 66th Street. The Southeast sector (south of West 66th Street and east of Nicollet Avenue) proposes to convert. the existing single- family housing to single-family, high- density (RSF-H) as a transition use along Nicollet Avenue, West 66th Street and the commercial (C-C) area at the intersection. . The Northeast sector (north of West 66th Street and east of Nicollet Avenue) proposes an expansion of the commercial (C-C) into the east half of the block between West 64th and West 65th Streets and conversion of existing single- family residences along the east side of First Avenue and the north side of West 66th Street. L1/~ The HUB sector (north of West 66th Street between Pleasant and Nicollet Avenues) is the largest and most intensely developed sector of the . entire subarea. Single-family residential housing along the east side of Blaisdell Avenue between 62nd and 63rd Streets and 64th and 65th Streets should be converted to high-density (RSF-H) and the lone remaining duplex at the corner of Nicollet Avenue and West 64th Street should be added to the commercial area (C-C) to the south. As they near the end of their useful life in the next few years, all of the medium density, multiple dwellings along the east side of the railroad should be converted to town homes or patio homes that are more consistent with the neighborhood. The medium density, multiple along the north side of West 65th Street should be expanded by converting the five single- family residences in order to provide additional parking and landscaped area. E. CEDAR AVENUE CORRIDOR Encompasses the area between East 63rd and East 72nd Streets. Development in the Cedar Corridor should be consistent with the Cedar Corridor Redevelopment Master Plan. While the east side of TH77 will soon be completely under the control of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), the area within the City should be included in the Plan document proposals. The entire area should be designated consistent with the MAC alternative plan supported by the City, that is, Industrial (10) with an overlay golf course use remaining if the City alternate plan is selected. Land use calculations in the Plan document do not include existing uses or future airport development uses on any part of the land within the City east of TH77. q-Cf . On the west side of TH77 beginning at that was used for the Southdale the north City limits, Taft Park should be development when Xerxes Avenue was expanded to include the one remaining moved one block to the west to follow the single-family lot "inholding" on the corner York Avenue alignment. The municipal of East 63rd Street and 14th Avenue and state-aid street plan would have to be the two public service facilities should be amended for that part of Cedar Avenue designated Quasi-Public (Utilities). A south of East 66th Street. bike trail should cross the park and . connect to a trail within the future freeway corridor and north into the City of Minneapolis on the existing bridge over the Crosstown freeway. . . The Plan proposal for the corridor area between East 63rd Street and Diagonal Boulevard (Cedar-North) should be guided so as to attract Regional Commercial (C-R), Community Commercial (C-C) and Office (0), including office-showroom as the primary uses. Some commercial uses related to the office-showroom use would also be appropriate for these areas. These uses are consistent with airport fringe area guides and Metropolitan Council policies. Residential, Single-Family High-Density (R-SFH) would be a transition and buffer use along the west side of 17th and 18th Avenues over the full length of the north and south Cedar Corridor Plan areas. . The space between Cedar Avenue and the TH77 right-of-way north of East 66th Street is too narrow to accommodate affordable high-quality development of any kind, and future expansion of TH77 (with possible access to a new terminal facility on the north side of the MAC site) will simply exacerbate this situation. Upgrading the TH77/East 66th Street interchange will require relocation of the existing Cedar Avenue/East 66th Street intersection to the west. For these reasons, the Plan proposes to reroute the collector/arterial street traffic now on Cedar Avenue along 18th Avenue from East 63rd Street to a point where East 71 st Street would intersect the existing Cedar Avenue. This is the same concept Additional. development space will be provided by vacating existing Cedar Avenue from East 63rd to East 71st Streets and all of the east-west cross streets except East 64th, East 66th, East 68th, East 73rd and East 76th Streets. The Plan also proposes the vacation of 17th Avenue from East 64th to East 67th Streets in order to provide a full block- and-a-half site for commercial development. Existing utilities in these streets will need to be relocated or may in some cases be abandoned. The intersection of East 66th Street and relocated Cedar Avenue collector (18th Avenue) would be designated and affords the opportunity to attract a major regional commercial use such as a regional retail center. The existing church will provide a transition use from the community commercial north of East 66th Street and Single-family, High-Density (R-SFH) will provide a transition between East 66th and East 67th Streets. The East 66th Street Corridor subarea plan outlines uses proposed for that area along East 66th Street to the west. The existing office building on Cedar Avenue at 67th Street could be used as a model to encourage similar major corporate or multi-tenant office uses on assembled sites to the south of this building. As the suburban office market continues to improve and the airport development continues on the present site for the future, the feasibility of commercial, office and office-showroom uses for this area improves as well. . The Diagonal Boulevard intersection provides a logical place to provide Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) development, as long as access to TH77 remains. A neighborhood commercial use is already present in the form of a convenience store, although that structure will be removed to make room for the relocated Cedar Avenue. A new structure could be built on either of the two designated sites. The most southerly block and the east half of the next block that adjoins the redeveloped Washington Park should be Residential Multiple High-Density (R-MH) to further reinforce the development of an "indoor park"-recreation/athletic facility on a portion of the Washington Park site. I. INTERSTATE-L YNDALE-NICOLLET (ILN) . The ILN area has been the subject of planning studies since 1985 and actual redevelopment work has been completed on "Phase I" (between Emerson and Colfax Avenues) and is underway for "Phase 2" (between Colfax and Lyndale Avenues). A new site and edifice for the Emerson Congregational Church was created at 76th Street and Girard Avenue as a result of the "Phase I" redevelopment. An earlier project produced a hotel at the corner of Lyndale Avenue and West 77th Street. It The most dramatic change for the area was the upgrading of West 77th Street to a four- lane, divided roadway with a 12-foot tall barrier wall along the residential properties to the north. This major roadway connection between three freeway interchanges improved both. access and visibility for what is now one of the most desirable commercial locations on the entire 1-494 metro corridor. Additional improvements to Lyndale Avenue, including widening the bridge over 1-494, will be required to complete project. The Plan proposal shows all of the developed regional commercial areas as 0(/\0 regional commercial (C-R) and expands that use designation to all the rest of the area except two sites--the northeast quadrant of 1-494 and 35W (Girard to Emerson Avenues and 76th to 78th Streets) and the apartment site on 77th Street from Wentworth to Nicollet Avenues. Tax base and traffic distribution considerations require some non- commercial uses in this subarea and the major office tower use on the northeast quadrant site is the logical choice. The Plan eliminates the City garage site and replaces that inconsistent and inefficient use of valuable land with mid- density, multiple residential (R-MM) north of West 77th Street and regional commercial (C-R) to the south. The City facilities should be relocated to the former New Ford Town or other airport lands or other less valuable redevelopment locations within the City. If the manufactured home park becomes available for redevelopment, the east half would be an important addition to Lincoln Field, and the balance could be developed and upgrade the housing already in place. The Lyndale Gateway area, bounded by 74th Street on the north, 77th Street on the south, Garfield Avenue on the east and Aldrich Avenue on the west, was part of a planning study in 1995 and 1996. The concept that Was developed proposes an integrated mixed use development south of 76th Street with shared parking and consisting of commercial, office and residential development while offering maximum protection for the adjacent neighborhoods. The area between 76th and 74th Streets is designated Community Commercial and medium density housing (RMH). Development should be consistent with.

""... THE LYNDAlE GATEWAY City of Richfield, . Minnesota A Redevelopment Plan and Strategy July 8, 1996 . Table of Contents . The Lyndale Avenue Corridor, beginning at 77th Street, should be thought of as distinctive and different from the 1-494 corridor which harbors the Shops of Lyndale. 1-494, and the uses it birthed, are elements of a regional community, a metropolitan economy. Though literally within Richfield. the Shops of Lyndale serve a regional dientele and must offer copious parking and low prices as an. inducement to travef long distances to shop. i The Lyndale Avenue gateway to Richfield (there are others) begins at 77th Street and should extend no farther north than 74th Street. It is distinctive because it is commercial in use while the area that surrounds it is residential. It is also deficient in many respects in fulfilling its gateway potential. It is substantially deficient in parking and property values are dedining. It is deteriorating aesthetically and is evidencing conditions which contribute to vacancies, high-tumover and low rents. If left unattended, the deterioration of the center will adversely affect the neighborhood and become a serious liability for the larger Richfield community. It must be ma~e t~ contribute to the Crty's sense of place. Healing it represents a small step toward community wholeness. . t The objectives of the Lyndale Avenue Strategic Development Plan are to: · Create a distinctive gateway which contributes to Richfield's sense of place. · Arrest deterioration and value dedine within the Lyndale Avenue commercial area. · Improve compatibility between the Lyndale Avenue businesses and the immediately proximate neighborhoods. · Define a strategy to foster corridor improvements. · Involve residents and business persons heavily in the formulation of plans' and their implementation. This plan was prepared under the direction of the City Planning Commission with Consulting assistance from Hoisington Koegler Group Inc (HKGi). It, therefore, represents the Planning Commission's recommendation to the Housing and Red!:lvelopment Authority (H RA) to implement the redevelopment strategy and to the City Council to amend the Comprehensive Plan to reflect mixed use development in the Lyndale Avenue corridor. The Lyndale Gateway _ JulyS, /996 Page 2 . -:^~ -Ulr;-T ~ -''''i~-,,~~' , -:-.I'?'-'JIlP: 1" I """J-, I, _i~~~ Richfield is a unique community for a number of reasons. One reason is that all but one of its edges is defined by a major highway that separates it from its municipal neighbors. Yet another, highway (1-35W) traverses its center exposing the traveling regional public to the City's most prized natural resources, Wood Lake and the stands of mature oak that grace the highway's west flank. Even with these attributes, do passersby realize that they have arrived in Richfield? Are there any clues signaling the change in jurisdiction? No! Such is the state of modem suburbia where it is impossible to differentiate one community from the next. It Because Richfield is juxtaposed to several regional highways, it has relatively few opportunities to establish gateways to the City. One of the most important of these is Lyndale Avenue at 77th Street. CITY SETTING erST. t ~ 3.0 The Framework Lyndale Avenue, between 74th and 77th Streets is a commercial strip, a collection of disconnected retail goods and service businesses, many of which were birthed in the 1940's when Lyndale Avenue was much narrower and customers shopped much closer to home. Uke centers of its era, it originated to service the neighborhood and it contained some very prosperous merchants. It first lost its power over the marketplace and then lost businesses to larger regional retail centers. It then lost even more when the widening of Lyndale Avenue eroded parking at the same time parking demands were increasing, all attributable to growing public dependence on the automobile. The end result is a center than no longer meets contemporary retailing standards, is not competitive in the 'marketplace and is virtually impossible to. revitalize without public intervention. With a few exceptions, the value of buildings has ero~ed, creating opportunities for incubator businesses which are dependent on low rents while creating a growing liability for the City's tax base and image. Until recently, the neighborhoods that surround the center have been able to sustain themselves in spite of the conflicts associated with shared alleys, unwelcome odors and growing unsightliness. As successful businesses continue to depart the center and are replaced by less desirable merchants in search of low rents, will the stability of the neighborhoods also be threatened? The Lyndale Gateway . July 8. /996 Page ., . Existinr Land Use The Study Area extends from 74th Street to 1-494 and embraces both sides of Garfield and Aldrich Avenues. The predominant land use fronting Lyndale Avenue is commercial with retail, auto and service uses predominating. Significant uses include the Metro Dental Clinic, Super America, Amoco and Dairy Queen. Garfield and Aldrich Avenues are single-family residential in use and virtually all are homesteaded properties. The Century Court Apartments and the Woodlawn Terrace Mobile home park have frontage directly on Lyndale Avenue on the east side of the 7400 and 7500 blocks. . The land use pattern varies from block to block with relatively intense commercial development in the 7600 block where buildings are connected or closely jUxtaposed. Elsewhere in the corridor individual buildings occupy separate sites. The west side 7600 block contains some two-level space with apartments and office above retail. This block evidences a great deal of physical stress including too frequent merchant turnover and building vacancies. Most of the rest of the corridor has. excellent business longevity and only infrequent vacancies. Land use south of 77th Street is remarkably different in that it is very large in scale, is of recent vintage and caters to regional traffic. Uses include the Hampton Inn (east side) and the evolving Shops of Lyndale. These developments occupy large sites and are being built to reflect "contemporary" standards including large buildings with large parking lots in front. Though located in Richfield, this area relates more to the regional 1-494 community than to the City of Richfield. . t ExistinJ!'

Parkin( The next most significant problem facing the corridor is the lack of convenient and accessible parking. Nowhere in the corridor is this problem more pronounced than. in the west side 7600 block where the parking ratio is approximately two spaces per I ,000 square feet of gross floor area and a substantial part of that is located behind buildings where it is not visible to passing motorists. Furthermore, the parking that does exist on the Lyndale Avenue. side occurs either on the street at the curb line or near the storefronts on the sidewalk where it conflicts with pedestrian traffic. Parking in the east side of the 7600 block is more favorable having a ratio of approximately 3.7 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. However, Lyndale Avenue. is proposed to be widened to accommodate the expansion of the 77th Street intersection. This widening will eliminate parking in front of the stores on the east side, whose addresses . include 7615 through 7633, creating a situation not unlike that immediately across the street. Parking within the remainder of the corridor is generally more favorable although the Metro Dental Clinic has a 20 to 25 car deficiency which is met with on-street parking in the adjacent. residential neighborhood. This deficiency is primarily attributable to the use of the building for the . Metro Dental administrative offices, which use occupies a considerable portion of the building. The deficiency persists in spite of approximately 24 parking spaces in the lower level of the building. This problem will not be easily corrected due to an unusually high demand for parking and the absence of land to accommodate it. .

The Planning Commission held Public Information Meetings for the adjacent neighborhoods and members of the business community to explain the project purpose and scope, elicit ideas and take initial input. These meetings were held on September 6th and 7th. Approximately 40 businesspersons and 60 residents attended these sessions. A series of questions were asked to get at specific issues. ........,.,., . In general, the meetings were very positive. Residerlts, more than businesspersons, think the area needs to change. Opportunities included accessibility, high visibility and low rents. Challenges included parking, conflicting use of the alley, appearance, signage, backs of buildings, and the lack of room for expansion. Issues consisted of land use compatibility, loss of existing businesses, the City's needs vs the businesses needs and understanding who decides. Factors identified as important in evaluating alternative concepts included appearance, pedestrian accessibility, parking, residential compatibility, traffic/accessibility, economic feasibility, who will pay, loss of existing business, convenience services and public input. Guidin( Principles The input received from both the individual and public meetings provided the basis for the Guiding Principles. The guiding principles were principally derived from empirical observations, the review of background information and listening to both businesspersons and residents talk about the Lyndale Avenue Corridor. They are based on what the Planning Commission leamed by seeing, listening and reading; These guiding principles were established early in the process as a way to guide the development of the plan and focus the project on a set of commonly accepted themes and ideas. Ultimately, these guiding principles will serve as criteria by which future development proposals can be judged. They are listed below, in no particular order, as follows: . · Open the Gateway- to RichReld - This area introduces residents and visitors to Richneld at one of the few points of entry rom the outside. It should welcome and invite people, revealing the true character and spirit of the Richneld community. · ImproYe the Function of the Area - Business accessibility is made possible through the relationship of the transportation com"dors, sidewalks, alleys and parking areas. Safe and effeCtive streets, parking areas and alleys WIll reduce congestion and parking . problems; Wl71 improve safety and access; and Wl71 encourage people to park in one spot and shop at several stores. · Invite the Pedestrian - lM1i1e a business district may receive most of its "tra/5cu in the form of the automobl7e, the pedestrian mode is the pdmary form by which customers directly access businesses. A corridor should be acbVe, inviting and confusion-free to the pedestrian, allowing all persons the opportunity to reach and explore the business area. · Halee !zisiing8usiness Persons and Land Owners a Part of the Solution - There are some business persons and land owners who will be affected by this process more than others. No matter the outcome of the planning process, some businesses and owners may not be able to be part of the solution. To the extent possible~ consideration should be given to having existing business persons and owners playa role in the redevelopment of the commercial area. .. Keep the "Smallness" Feel- The Lyndale Avenue corddor is denned by the small, independent bUl7dings, distinctly different trom the large box anchor store developments along 1-494. This smallness feel should be maintained as a character of the corridor to make it feel like Richneld · SeTYe the Neighborhood - This area is compdsed of a commercial area, embraced almost entirely by neighborhoods; eStablishing a dosely-knit district. Services which meet the local neighborhood needs should be encouraged to maintain a connection between these areas. The Lynda/e Gateway . July 8, /996 Page / J Meed", With Developers . The process included one meeting on January J 0, 1996 with several developers to test the alternative plans. The original intent of this session was to evaluate two or three story potential with office or residential over retail. The outcome was much broader than expected. Developers recommended that the Crty's role should be: I) to educate the public about the economics of business and redevelopment. and 2) to set broad guidelines for redevelopment while leaving substantial flexibility and creativity to the developer. . ..:",'.",.,.",,;, .

" ''i''8I': H I.,' .,",,' I, ~~ In many ways, this district is seen as one of the important gateways to the Richfield community. As an introduction to the community, it seems it should reveal something of the character of the' community, showing Richfield as a place of neighborhoods and commerce in a "hometown" atmosphere. As the area redevelops, it makes sense to try to instill some of the qualities and character of the community into this district. The Concept Plan strives to create a gateway district, building from a framework of design guidelines based on neighborhood and business community input, research on development feasibility, and the ability of the City to shape development. The plan that is shown in this report can only be a guide for redevelopment; it provides the framework within which redevelopment can occur that supports the community-derived guiding principles and the opportunities and constraints presented by what exists. This plan will be used by the City to market the area, helping potential developers understand the direction created through the process of working with the community. And, as development proposals are brought to the City, the Concept Plan and associated design guidelines will be used to evaluate the proposals. While the built result'may not match the plan exactly, its underlying character must be maintained in order to match the community's vision. In the plan, the entire redevelopment area is recognized as the gateway, so a strong identity must be established. Two factors are critical: boundaries and continuity. The boundaries have been defined to signal the point at which you enter the district, and also set the limits of commercial development. It is equally important to create continuity through the district. While buildings will be different in size and use, there must be elements that they have in common, and the public space of the district must be ~ 7.0 The Concept Plan developed in a uniform manner. With boundaries established and elements defined that establish continuity, the district gains cohesiveness and a sense that it is whole. Development in the district should be oriented to a mix of retail/commercial and office uses, with opportunities for some higher density residential uses in combination with retail or office. The district will support businesses that serve the neighborhood, as well as those that orient to the more regional market with specialty stores and services. Within this mix of uses, the opportunity for joint use of parking is created, allowing a customer to move from store to store without relying on their car. Residential development is an important element of the plan. While residents represent a market for nearby businesses, many people actually prefer to live in mixed use areas that offer convenient shopping, working and entertainment opportunities. The southeast comer of 74th Street and Lyndale Avenue is intended to satisfy this need. The Audio Perfection and Woodlawn Terrace sites offer unique opportunities for a variety of urban housing types. Whatever the use, it is intended that buildings be the focus of development, not parking lots. This allows the built form of the district to help set its identity, and provides for convenient movement for pedestrians as they do not have to cross parking lots to reach sidewalks or storefronts. Buildings that are close to the street are critical to this concept, which dictates parking that is located behind or beside buildings. The intersection of 76th Street and Lyndale Avenue becomes important, as 76th Street provides the most direct connection to the adjacent neighborhoods.

In order to achieve the intent of the Concept Plan and generate development that supports the guiding prindples the Planning Commission recommends the following design guidelines.

The Planning Commission has considered several funding sources, the most important of which will be tax increment finandng (TIF). Wrthout TIF, almost no project which involves lasting structural change will be possible. The Planning Commission cannot offer a spedfic finandng mix but recommends consideration by the HRA of some or all of the following methods of finandng public improvements. For the redevelopment of Lyndale Avenue, a new redevelopment tax increment finandng district is a potential funding tool. Assuming 138,000 square feet of new building space, approximately 113 of which is rental housing and 213 commerdal property, the principal available to the project would be $2.1 million and $2.4 million over 25 years if fiscal disparities is born by the tax increment district. An option that could increase the available tax increment to the project would be to have fiscal disparities contributed from outside of the tax. increment district. Over 20 years, the amount of increased increment as a result of not contributing from inside the district would support another $1 million in original prindpal for a total of $3.1 million. A rationale for relying upon other properties to make the fiscal disparities contribution would be that the LHN District will be decertified for taxes payable in 2002. The LHN captured value will increase the tax base of the City by almost $2 million in tax capacity at the time of the. decertification and a potential annual increase of revenues to the City alone of over $500,000. Justification for using at least a portion of the LHN value for the fiscal disparities contribution of the Lyndale Avenue project is possible if one considers that the contribution required would amountto less than ten percent of the tax capacity of the LHN District and that future redevelopment will further increase the long-term viability of the City's tax base. However, if $3. I million is available due to a contribution to fiscal disparities from outside of the new district, a portion of the Lyndale Avenue project still remains to be funded. If an additional ten percent of the LHN contribution to the City tax base were assigned to the Lyndale project. another $600,000 of principal amount would be available to the project for a total of $3.7 million. Other sources of revenue may be available including a grant from the Uvable Communities Program, land proceeds from the sale of property and Municipal State Aid (MSA) funding. Competition for the former is expected to be very intense. TABLE 4 represents a listing of potential funding sources. TABLE 4 POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES Land Sale Proceeds Project Tax Increment Fiscal Disparities Contribution Livable Communities. MSA Funds . $650,000 2, 100,000 1 ,000,000 500,000 250,000 Subtotal $4,500,000 This represents approximately 50 percent of the total project cost. To fund the remaining 50 percent, consideration could be given to contributing the entire remaining City benefit of the LHN District ($400,000 per year for 20 years) to the Lyndale Avenue project to cover the shortfall. This would DQt capture the school district or County tax revenues over the 20 year period. In addition, there will be a need to fund streetscape improvements throughout the corridor including landscaping, sidewalks, furnishings. entry features and signage. Some or all of this cost may be funded with special assessments to benefitting properties. These improvements may need to be phased to correlate with redevelopment plans.

Recommended StratelY to Correct Current Ills There are a number of problems associated with the corridor that will not be corrected immediately, or perhaps ever, by redevelopment. These include businesses where parking occurs on residential streets (thus precluding snow removal), alley conflicts and traffic using residential streets. These are problems that should be addressed now. in as much as possible, to improve compatibility between residential and. business uses. While the integrity of the neighborhood may depend on solving these problems in the near-term, it should be understood that there are always likely to be unresolved conflicts in edge locations that do not exist elsewhere in the neighborhood or community. This is the nature of edge locations. It is also important to note that many residents can accept manageable conflicts associated with mixed use as a trade-off for convenience. Objective 7: Minimize land use conflicts, where ever pOSSible, that could have the effect of redudng residential property values and causing a trend to renter occupancy.

PART ONE: The Framework -What is this place? Existing Conditions Richtield is located in the center of regional activity. The airport and three highways cut into its boundaries. and have resulted in a loss of housing stock. In addition to lost units. changes in demographics and market preferences have created a need for different housing types. With the impact of future highway improvements, the degradation of Richfield Lake. and uncertainty about the future of the area. the Lakes at Lyndale Area is showing signs of private disinvestment. Richtield cannot continue to be a great place to live, work, and do business if it does not plan for the future and a community developed plan will insure that changes are the ones the city wants - the ones that keep the community vital. The Lakes at Lyndale can become a great place to live. work, and do business by creating more and varied housing opportunities. upgrading commercial/retail properties. and providing fuller enjoyment of Richtield Lake. ~, ~ . ., . ~I' .

PART TWO: The Challenge- Whae s at risk and why do the study? Problem Statement Rich1:ield cannot continue to be a great place to live work, and do business if it does not provide residents with modern housing. shops, businesses. and recreational opportunities. Keeping neighborhoods vital will mean planning ahead to avoid declining property values. disinvestment and deterioration. The Lakes at Lyndale area faces highway plans that initially threaten a net loss of housing. Richtield recognizes the need to not only retain residents but also provide more housing and a greater variety of housing to meet resident' s needs. Investment in commercial/retail property along Lyndale has stagnated, discouraging reinvestment in adjacent residential properties. The Lakes at Lyndale neighborhood features community gateways but there is little visible evidence of strong, immediate investments as you enter the community through them. Finally, the existing Richtield Lake trails, park and recreational opportunities have not offered residents the full enjoyment of the lake. The Mission To make the Lakes at Lyndale area, and as a result the coinmunity 11s a w~l,e. an--' even better place to live. work. and do business by providing more and varied housing opportunities, upgrading commercial/retail properties, and providing fuller enjoyment of Rich1:ield Lake. The Objectives of this Plan are to: 1. Proactively work .with MnDOT on its Interstate-35W improvement project. ensuring that Richtield does not suffer a net loss of housing and the project is compatible with the community. 2. Take advantage of opporturuties to provide more and varied housing in the Lakes at Lyndale area to continue to retain current residents and compete with developing suburbs to attract new residents. 3. Use redevelopment to provide new commercial investment and upgrade commercial/retail in the area. 4. Take advantage of the aesthetic and recreational opportunities provided by Rich1:ield Lake, making it a place where residents enjoy spending their free time. 5. Work to solve existing neighborhood cut-through tramc problems and improve transit opportunities. The Challenge 2:1 ,,~l' . Issues: . Population decline . Loss of housing .

PART THREE: The process The Lakes at Lyndale planning process began with identifying the problems and opportunities of the area. This included reviewing population changes, housing and business conditions, highway plans, the "health" of Richfield Lake, and a site analysis of the physical character of the area. ln developing the Vision and Guiding Principles it was important to involve the potentially atIected interests (P AI); the residents, business owners, and others. This was done through public workshops and newsletters. As the plan developed trom concept possibilities to draft master plan, the PAIs were involved through public workshops. open houses and newsletters. The tinal druft master plan and design guidelines represent the vision and commitment the' City and its residents have for the Lakes at Lyndale area as a continuing great place to Ii ve, work and do business.

Guiding Principles "What Does This Place Want To Be?" A Place for Walkinf! - Emphasis should be placed on making it easier and safer to walk around and through the Lakes at Lyndale area. The Lakes at Lyndale area is a place where walking should be part of everyday life. health and recreation, walking to shop, to bank, to church, to Wood Lake and around Richfield Lake. It is a place with lots of people but a harsh environment for walking. Certainly. the distances are short enough were it not for congested traffic and very wide streets. Greater emphasis must be placed on making it safer and easier to move around and through the area on foot while . creating pedestrian linkages into the neighborhoods that surround the Lakes at Lyndale area. Lake as a Natural Centeroiece -The Richfield Lake water quality should be improved and the lake should remain a good place to stroll, gather and observe wildlife. Richtield Lake evidences decades of abuse. No longer a lake with fresh clean water. it is a wetland, a receptacle for nutrients and silt. On the other hand, not many areas of Richtield have even a remnant of a lake. This is why Richtield Lake is such a valuable and unique resource. It is the single most important natural unifying element and it will always be there for the community to walk around and view. whether or not it is reborn as a lake or continues to manifest itself as a wetland. We must demonstrate more reverence for the lake in the future than in the past. We must maintain it as a great place to st~oll, t~ p'rotec~ , and observe wildlife and gather. More importantly we must imprdve the quality of its water, as well as that of Wood Lake, if we are to pass the enjoyment of it along to future generations. A place for Investments - Reinvestment will be impQrtant to maintaining the area's character by improving the quality of hOflsing and businesses. The character of the Lakes at Lyndale area is dependent on maintaining the quality of much of its existing housing and business stock. This means reinvestment, spending small amounts of private money now rather than large amounts of public money later to increase building capital and tax capacity. A Place Resoected bv Hiflhwavs - Ways must be found to mitigate the highway impacts on the community. The interstate highway system is an asset to the region though the burden of noise and tranic must be born by the neighborhoods, like Lakes at Lyndale, that border it. We must identify the elements that will enhance compatibility and, thus. turn a liability into an asset. Bridges must become gateways and ways must be found to minimize the barrier the highways represent while mitigating the potential "highway" effects on the Lakes at Lyndale community. The Vision Statement & Guilling Principles 4:2 Guiding Principles in Summary: A Place for Walking Lakes as a Natural Centerpiece A Place for Investment A Place Respected by Highways A Place for Living A Competitive Place Visually connected with a Distinct Identity A Place to Redevelop and Create Value Lake as a Community Asset A Transit Hub A Place to Gather A Mixed Use Community ~ ;/' . . . ) . .. . Lake as a Communitv Asset - Although the Lakes at Lyndale area will be used mostly by immediate residents, it must be thought of as a community asset and junction as a community center. The Lakes at Lyndale area is a community center serving the needs of the entire City and beyond. As such. Lakes at Lyndale itself must be thought of as a community asset and. though it will be used mostly by the immediate residents, it must reinforce the role and function of the Lakes at Lyndale area as a community center. It should be passive in character but readily available to adjal:ent neighborhoods and those utilizing the adjacent commercial services. A Transit Hub - It is important to think about ways to move people in and through the area and better balance a commitment of land resources to moving people as well as cars. It is very difficult to maneuver into and through the Lakes at Lyndale area by any means other than the automobile. If you do not have access to an auto or are unable to walk easily, it becomes very difficult to partake of what the Lakes at Lyndale area has to offer. We must begin to think about other ways to move people in and out and through the area and better balance our commitment of land and resources to moving people as well as cars. A Place to Gather - The Lakes at Lyndale area should be a place to meet and interact socially. It should be an active and vital place filled with people. The Lakes at Lyndale area must be a primary focus for community life while providing visual. physical and natural connections to other important elements that enrich the life of its people. This should be a place for people to meet; to interact socially, and to celebrate together the true meaning of and enjoyment of ~, community. It will be important to the safety and enjoyment of the:.people who . liveor otherwise use the Lakes at Lyndale area to have this be an active and vital place tilled with people. A Mixed Use Community - One of the area's princip(f!.strengths is its diverse land use consisting of housing, institutions, businesses, recreation and open space. A mL'Cture of uses should be maintained that work together to enhance the sense of corrununity. One of the Lakes at L yndale area's principle strengths is its diverse land use consisting of housing; institutions. businesses. recreation and open space. These are elements that support one another and create an urban living environment that is rich in experience and fultills -the spirit of community living. The challenge will be to maintain a mixture of uses that work together to enhance the sense of community. . \ ,. ~l' . ). ..;.; The Vision Statemelll & Guiding Principles 4:4 . '. . PART SIX: The Master Plan Introduction. The Lakes at Lyndale is intended to be a place with a distinctive identity and a character all its own within the larger Richfield community; It is also intended to provide the larger Richfield community with an identity and a focus for civic and social affairs. The Lakes at Lyndale is intended to be an urban village where people live, shop, work, play, and are entertained: where a good supply of life-cycle housing is available to accommodate the ever-changing needs of Richfield residents. The Lakes at Lyndale area is intended to be a small town place where residents have the opportunity to walk, gather, and enjoy nature and transit options are available. It is intended to be a central place where the larger Richtleld community can come together; an urban place and yet a place where nature and wildlife abound; a personal place; a village. Land Use in the Master Plan The Core The core is the area located inside the parkway, which is intended to consist of higher intensity mixed-land use. While many existing uses and businesses will remain, several will be replaced by new housing, retail, office, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. . . . ~ . ':., ~ , In the core, buildings are intended to be taller, not unlike those that already exist in the Lakes at Lyndale area. Parking is intended to be relatively unobtrusive, located in parking ramps and garages, not at street edges or at major intersections.' Here buildings and people, not cars, are the focus though cars must certainly be accommodated in support of businesses.. . Buildings command the more highly visible street locations, thus detining pedestrian ways while creating opportunities for visibility directly into shop windows. Within the core, land uses are intended to be mixed, both vertically and horizontally. with housing being an integral part of commercial and office buildings. This will provide opportunities to share parking and reduce overall parking demand while creating patterns of use that both send and receive people and reduce travel demand. The emphasis in the core is to be on moving people conveniently from place to place within while making connections with the larger community that is beyond. North Lyndale Gateway The Lyndale north gateway is intended to have a complimentary but different character than the core. Within this area the intensity of development will be somewhat lower than the core and building heights will be variable. Parking is acceptable either in front or at the rear of buildings though building masses, not parking lots, should frame intersections. The Y!,lster Plan 6: 1 (Refer to Master Plan Map) .. ~l' .. . .) . . . area to eutrophication. it will be necessary to manage the lake and intervene in this natural succession process just to maintain its present character. Periodically, the lake will need to be dredged to maintain about the current size of open water surface area. Richtield Lake is not without problems in its present state. In addition to poor water quality. attributable to surface run-off. it also has a somewhat larger goose population that tends to contlict with human use of the resource. It is intended that trails be designed, and in some cases, elevated and that vegetated trail edges be established to minimize the overuse of the trails by geese. Many of the contlicts that exist can be resolved by prudent design. Ponding is intended to be provided at the edges of the lake beyond the perimeter of the trail system as receptacles for storm drainage. Water quality within these basins will not be of top quality but they will allow for the settlement of silt before the water overflows into Richfield Lake. These are intended to be wet ponds because they offer the greatest potential for water quality enhancement. They are intended to be integrally designed and vegetated and periodically dredged to maintain a much higher quality of water within the lake system. While the lake is intended to remain as a wildlife resource, it is intended to have multiple access points to accommodate adjacent residents and others that wish to use the trail system. While some of the adjacent uses may have an overview of the lake. it is intended that the lakes edges remain natural and that there be a sense of enclosure and non-interference for those' seeking enjoyment of the wildlife atmosphere. . ' Since the new outfall from Richfield Lake to Wood Lake is overly obtrusive, it is intended that this facility be landscaped to minimize its impact. Trees are also intended to be planted at key locations at the periphery of the wildlife area. Identity, Gateways and Streetscape The district is intended to have an identity that is garden-like in character. The identity begins at the district's entries at I-35W and the garden bridge, and extends throughout the district along its public ways leading to more intimate urban garden spaces including linear, plaza, and roof gardens. -~~~.::~~~:4r; The Plan's structure is built on the Garden Village theme. Care and order are to be evident in the built patterns. Structures will be at a pedestrian scale, made of quality materials with surfaces of warm brick, wood and glass. Plants, ranging from street trees to colorful annual Howers will be used to enliven and soften the urban edges. Like a garden, the district will have many inviting paths, leading to opportunities to meet neighbors, shop, eat, or stroll over to the lakes. Th~ Master Plan 6: 3 ,:", Sketch of35W Garden Bridge at 66th Street .. jl' .. ,. . '."'\>';'Ci " . Parkways The Lakes at Lyndale area includes a parkway system that delineates the ed2:es of the core. The master plan intends that the parkway serves two roles, tirst as an alternative access to the backside of core businesses and second as a minor byPass (eastbound West 66th Street to southbound Lyndale Avenue. for example) for tranic that has no destination within the core. The intent is to create a true parkway character with narrow streets and park-like boulevards that reduces the need for the signiticant widening of West 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue while attra<.:tively detining the edge of the core. Most of the street system needed to establish parkways already exists in West 65th street and Lakeshore Drive. These serve the intended parkway function though both routes are wide streets. Because of its park-like edges, only Lakeshore Drive has the intended parkway "feel". The segment of Pleasant Avenue from 65th to 67th streets, and 67th Street are also intended to be components of the parkway system, but they do not serve an essential traffic function, (except for access to the RSA Urban Village). There is virtually no demand for a north bound Lyndale Avenue to eastbound West 66th Street bypass according the tranic analysis. These segments are still important parkway components with Pleasant Avenue having a recreational trail/linear park focus and West 67th street, east of Harriet Avenue, serving as a park and trail/connection to the regional traiL Of particular concern is the further widening of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue which already represent formidable barriers to pedestrian crossings. ,. The traffic analysis indicates that at full development of the Lakis at Lyndale, , west 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue will be able to handle the projected core area traftic volumes with additional turn lanes and signal timing moditications. Public and Pedestrian Places Public and Pedestrian Spaces. ' The master plan is organized around a system of pedestrian ways and public spaces to balance walking and gathering with auto and transit accessibility. It includes different options for improving pedestrian access including skyways and street-level walkways to provide safe crossings at Lyndale Avenue and West 66th Street. In the core commercial/retail areas, landscaped pedestrian ways separate people on foot from cars and small gathering spaces are located within each block offering quiet refuge from street noise. Many of these pedestrian spaces will be privately owned and integrated with new development. INNER BLOCK PECESTRIAHWAY The Master Plan 6: 5 Section sketch of inner block pedestrian way ~ ~I' . . :'..-.. ;. . accommodate existing Metro Transit service providing connections to Southdale, the Mall of America and regional express bus service. None of these will appreciably reduce travel demand through or to Lakes at Lyndale. West 66th Street is the only east/west transit route within the City of Rich1:ield. It is intended that a circulator bus service be developed to service the 76th and 77th Street corridors and the Lakes at Lym.iale Area. This would be coordinated with existing services, all of which would focus on a proposed new transit station within the district. Future transit is intended to include a timed-transfer service which integrates the new circulator service with existing express and cross-town services. New circulator service within the district which connects neighborhoods to the district should produce a reduction in auto travel demand over time. ,I I ' , / f.l .. i Ul /,c &6t1'l9r..1 I Fct:;,,---""-' I I I . . j.. ..,.--:' ~., --~ ~-- - Traffic Quieting The primary measures intended to be implemented in the Lakes at Lyndale neighborhoods (other than those that are already in place) is traftic quieting, insuring that non-residential traftic does not use and abuse neighborhood streets. While careful consideration must be give to what and where such devices may be applied, alternatives intended to be considered include throating, speed humps (not bumps), traftic diverters and similar devices. Prior to the installation of traffic quieting measures, the extent of the problem must be established by the monitoring of traftlc volume and speed. Generally speaking, measures are not needed if residential street volumes are less than 500 vehicles per day, provided speed is not a problem.

PART SEVEN: The Design Guidelines . [n looking at the Lakes at Lyndale area as it is today, you can see some of the major forces that shaped the district. One of the major forces includes Lyildale and 66th Street. As the automobile became the transportation mode of choice, the roads were widened and parking lots spread out in tront of the commercial buildings. The pedestrian environment took second place, and pedestrians were left with un-cross able intersections and seas of parking lots to cross in order to get to business entries. Another force that shaped the district is the Lakes. New high-rise residential apartments became desirable places to live as they offered views of the lake's natural amenities, and trails around the lakes offered pedestrians a refuge ITom the busy, pedestrian hostile street environment. As these and many other forces shaped the Lakes at Lyndale area, citizens, business owners and city officials began to wonder how they might control these forces in the future in order to improve the livability of the district. The Vision statement and Guiding Principles where created to guide these and any future forces such that the Lakes at Lyndale area would develop into a place they desired. . While the Vision Statement and Guiding Principles are the goals of the Lakes at Lyndale area. the design guidelines are detailed directions to be us~d in the development of district structure, public spaces. redevelopment sites and buildings in order to achieve the Vision. -r, The Design Guidelines are a written set of intentions and directiv~s that need to be followed in order to create the kind of district the Vision Statement and Guiding Principles describe. The Draft Master Plan can be used as an example for the general configuration of redevelopment within each block. Actual redevelopment will vary somewhat from the mast~. plan, but the Design Guidelines must be followed to insure continuity. within the district and consistency with the community vision. Guidelines. have been developed for district structure, public spaces, redevelopment sites, and buildings. . ~ ~ll . . } D~sign Guiddines 7:1 . . Develop the parkway loop as a pleasant circulation route within the district for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. as a connection to the lakes. as a detinable edge to the district core, and to service businesses. . Buildings and district activities should spill onto the street and become part of the identity people see as they pass through and circulate within the district. . Locate Identity features at important intersections at the edges and within to mark the district and to build on its character. . Provide public spaces along the street for resting, entering buildings and stopping -to chat with friends ......../;.,,} .-',' 1.2 Transit Intent: Provide a pleasant transportation alternative to the automobile such that l~ss space need be devoted to parking surfaces, driving lanes, and traffic congestion may be reduced. . A transit stop on both sides of 66'" Street east of Lyndale Avenue as a safe and secure shelter. inte2fated with another active use or business. . A transit station on 66th~ street west of Lyndale Avenue as a safe and secure shelter, integrated with other active uses or businesses. . Shelters are to be integrated with pedestrian ways to make them more readily accessible. . The transit stop and station are to be architecturally integrated and attractive community features. ,. . Create additional transit shelters as needed such that tjley ret~ct the' , character of the district and are part of a visible pedestrian corridor. 1.3 Pedestrian and Public Spaces Intent: Make it safe and pLeasant to walk arouhd and through the district such that walking becomes a viable optionfor residents and visitors of the district . Provide continuous sidewalks along all streets with safe pedestrian crossings at each corner, combine and limit curb cuts that interrupt the sidewalk and create unsafe conditions. . Provide pedestrian paths from the street to the main entrance of each building e Set up a network of interior pedestrian routes that interconnect parking, residential, oUice and retail, such that each site is part of the district pedestrian system (refer to master planfor pedestrian ways) . Provide small gathering places along the pedestrian routes for people to rest and socialize . Provide skyway connections between all four quadrants of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue that have entries integrated with active businesses. residences or parking structures . ~ ~ I' . ). Design Guidelines 7:3 . . Create a buffer between the street and sidewalk using an eight-foot boulevard for street trees, lampposts, and other street furniture. · Create safe crossings of 66lh and Lyndale at intersections with pedestrian 'islands' on 8 foot medians. Incorporate some kind of buffer on the median (Le. bollards) · Create a plaza with an identity feature at each corner of L yndale Avenue and 66lh Street as an inviting place for people to gather. (Suggested features include: a clock at the southwest corner, incorporating existing sculpture at northeast corner, and using common unifying planters in each plaza.) Refer to the Street & Pedestrian Improvement Guide for details on the following design guidelines: . Place pedestrian scale streetlights at even intervals along Lyndale A venue and 66lh Street. · Plant street trees at even intervals along Lyndale Avenue and 66th Street. · Provide pedestrian amenities such as benches and waste receptacles within the "core" and in other high pedestrian use areas. . Require low screening of parking lots from the street and sidewalk. "::../'<. . ~'\ , , ._,o/_f: . ~ ~ I' . -. Design Guidelines 7:5 Street and Pedestrian Way Improvement Guide .

Develop Entry gardens as small gathering places at the northwest corner of Lyndale Avenue and Lakeshore Drive and at the southwest corner of Lyndale Avenue and 64th Street. . Entry gardens should be created with a detinable space and structure using garden elements such as wooden trellis work, colorful perennials and annual plantings, places to sit, and paths. Soft lighting should be incorporated at these sites to extend their use and identity into the night. . Develop linear entry gardens along Lyndale Avenue at Lakeshore Drive, 65th, 64th and Crosstown 62. . Develop linear entry gardens along 66th Street at Lakeshore Drive, Pleasant Avenue, and Nicollet Avenue. . Linear entry gardens are raised low planters along the boulevard that incorporate the district name and colorful annuals to mark the garden district. '. 2.4 Gathering places ,. Intent: Create Public gathering places of varying size and typ6 to enc'iJurage' , people to meet and spend time in the district . A public gathering place overlooking Richfield Lake should be part of any redevelopment along the east side of the Lake. While a few public connections to the lake are encouraged, the natural edge surrounding the lake should be maintained and enhanced to preserve its wildlife habitat and scenic value. ' . Create small plazas at each corner of 66th and Lyndale Avenue to invite pedestrian activity at the core of the district. Require buildings to front the plazas with access at the corner. . Encourage outdoor gathering spaces adjacent to sidewalks especially adjacent to entries of restaurants, cafes and other active businesses or residents. . Provide safe comfortable stopping places along pedestrian ways for pausing and resting. These areas may include benches, drinking fountains, and display windows. . All public areas should be designed to encourage use. Characteristics that encourage trequent use include easy access, location on a pedestrian corridor. safety and visibility, sunny exposure, locations at building entries. , . .. ~ . . . ~ ~I' . , ' ) Design Guidelines 7:9 . 3.2 Building position on site Intent: Insure that buildings help Jorm the pleasant and useable spaces that build the character oj the district and contribute to the public spaces oj the street and sidewalk. . Encourage extension of buildings that connect the interior activities of the building with the street. Examples may include awnings, door details. special paving, temporal signage and planters. · Use elements that are pedestrian in scale, as opposed to those that are meant to relate to motorists.

It is not carved in stone. The staging of development is also intended to provide guidance but will not likely occur exactly as proposed. In other words. specific projects will occur only when they are found to be feasible and they will likely be spread over the next 20 or so years. In some cases, there is an imminent and recognizable need or opportunity for redevelopment within the Lakes at Lyndale area. In others. the master plan will only serve as a guide to development to make sure that developer and landowner proposals are consistent with the master plan. Areas of highest priority are those located in the southeast and southwest quadrants of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. The RSA Urban Village is in tinal planning stages and is intended to be under construction as early as 1999. The Gramercy Housing Co-op and the VFW projects will also begin in 1999. The City is also in the process of seeking solutions for post ofiice congestion and the decline of commercial development at 63rd Street and Lyndale Avenue. The important thing is that some considerable amount of the development within the Lakes at Lyndale area will occur in response to development proposals from developers and landowners and will not be initiated by the City. What this means is that developments could occur out of sequence wherever there is a proposal that is tlnancially feasible. :. Flexibility -r, ~ " While this master plan is intended to establish patterns for the redevelopment of th'e Lakes at Lyndale area so that the resultant development in all of the projects within it will relate one to another. the plan is also intended to have a high degree of t1exibility. For example. the plan indicates that a cinema should be located in the northeast quadrant of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue because of its marque.value. while this is an important principle, a cinema could occur in several other locations within the Lakes at Lyndale area and not violate the basic principles of the plan. There may be proposals from existing landowners which can be found to be consistent with the overall Lakes at Lyndale area Plan. The important thing is that there needs to be an entertainment component somewhere in the Lakes at Lyndale area. Its location can vary. Also, regarding t1exibility, the intensity of development and the height of buildings is entirely dependent on 'project feasibility. It is intended that there be a high degree of tlexibility in building height and intensity to allow feasible projects to be built. The intensity of development must, however, be balanced with the traftlc capacity of streets. On the other hand. the urban design principles of this plan are not intended to be violated. Buildings should have a relationship with the street, as intended by the plan, and parking should be a use that is highly supportive of but not particularly visible in the plan. Also important is the future use of Lakes at Lyndale for rather passive wildlife interpretation purposes. The plan does not intend to allow tlexibility to permit more active uses of the surface or edges of the lake. Principles are not intended to be tlexible because they will change the very character of the district. Implementation measures are intended to be t1exible so long as they conform to the principles. . . ~J ' . )" ~~xt Steps 8:1 . ca '. The following chart represents the Ojtions that are available to address the level of service (congestion) problem at the 66 Street and Lyndale Avenue intersection: Potential Street Level of Comments Imnrovement Actions Service * No change F Unacceptable congestion during PM peak hour Right-turn lanes onlv E Right-turn lanes can simply be added Dual left -turn lanes D Requires additional right-of-way and the shifting of the roadway to center. it within the right -of- way Signal timing E Assumes change from protected to . protected/permitted signal timing Reduce land use intensity ? May impact project feasibility and community objectives to increase urban density of the core Combination -- D Adequately resolves congestion Right-turn lanes plus problem at 66th Street and Lyndale signal timing on Avenue north/south legs of Lvndale Avenue * If just one and no other actions are taken. While the intersection level of service can be fairly readily solved, accommodating existing left-turn movements for existing businesses along Lyndale Avenue south of 66th , Street is more problematic. There does not appear to be a solutionj which would protect left-turns for both Richfield Bank and Trust and Lyndale Hardware except on an interini basis. None of the above actions appear to accommodate left-turn movements at intermediate locations. There is not sufficient room to accommodate three-Ieft-turns at 66th Street, Richfield Bank and TrustJLyndale Hardware ~~d 67th Street. Potential solutions are as follows: 1) Permanent-rebuild of Lyndale Avenue, lose the intermediate left-turns and orient all access to 6ih Street where adequate left-turning movements can be accommodated. This would provide a minimum of 270 feet of protected left-turn lane for northbound Lyndale to westbound 66th Street and 120 feet of left-turn capacity at 6ih Street with an adequate taper in between; 2) Interim- would be a solution that allows left-turns to .continue to be made into Richfield Bank and Trust with a protected left-turn lane but leave the lesser volume left-turn lane to Lyndale Hardware to be made from an unprotected lane. So long as crash problems do not result, this interim solution could continue. When the west side of Lyndale is redeveloped, all access would focus on 67th Street and the interim left -turn lane to the west would be. eliminated. All would be done in conjunction with signal timing adjustments for .the north and south approaches of Lyndale Avenue and additional right-turn lanes at au four intersection corners. ,ii' . ).

REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN A,Cedar KV~nue Corridor CHFIELD, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER, 2004 architects , executive summary Expansion work at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport has presented tremendous chal- lenges and opportunities for the City of Richfield. The construction of a new north-south runway at the westernmost area of the airport site and its resulting low-frequency noise levels have made it essential for the City to revision its eastern edge. The existing land- use, essentially single-family residential, is no longer an appropriate neighbor for the airport. These challenges have given rise to opportunities for development that serve the future of the City of Richfield and help to mitigate the problems caused by the airport expansion. The masterplan presented here is based on several major unifying ideas that address these new variables: 1. Establishment of neighborhood centers 2.

See Appendix A for full meeting minutes. Mount Calvary Lutheran Church and School: Their long-range plans include the addition of an early childhood center for the school and additional parking on the north side of 66th street (125 total stalls). The Church! school currently owns limited property, but would potentially be interested in swapping or sharing land if a suitable arrangement could be made. JLG Architects recom- mends the construction of buildings, rather than parking lots, on the north side of 66th street. Parking should be accommodated in the rear, with clear and easy access for both the church and the school. Ryan Development Companies: . The developer is held to some specific requirements of the retailers regarding site access, parking requirements, and total gross leasable square footage. In consider- ation of these needs and the best interests of the city in terms of a masterplan, JLG Architects recommends the following: The site should be accessed at a new gateway intersection at 66th Street and a re-routed Cedar Avenue (essentially 171/2 Avenue). Cedar Avenue, at the north end of the site, will remain in its current location and will connect to the development. Target (or similar retailer) should be located at the middle/south part of the site in order to connect its users via pedestrian links to this new gateway. The Target building will need to be pushed to the rear (west end) of the site in order to meet the parking requirements. ,," Home Depot (or similar retailer},should be located at the north end of the site. A service drive will extend'behind the building to a truck turn-around, but the drive will not extend behind'the Target building. Target services will be access via the truck-turn around area. " 1. The outlot retail buildings should be constructed in a zero-lot-line configu- ration along 66th Street in orde'r to strengthen the sense of "entry" at the gateway, to encourage pedestrian activity, and to create a streetscape and city plan that reinforces traditional urban planning principles. Design buildings to complement the existing site contours to minimize the amount of site grading and retainirfg required, especially at the north end of the site. This development will be located at the new gateway to the city;the design of these significant retail pieces needs to push the envelope. Housing Developers: Generally, the developers agreed that multi-family housing is a good fit, but that construction type and amenities, in addition to site assembly issues, will be important factors in selling the projects. The developments need to respect and build on the positive factors that are currently part of the essence of Richfield: city grid, park infrastructure, school system, single family housing core, diversity, location, etc. Most developers agreed that multi-family housing needs to reach densities inthe neighborhood of 25 units/acre in order to work financially.

REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN Cedar (Av~nue orrldor ICHFlELD, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER, 2004 master plan Expansion work at the Minneapolis/S't Paul Airport has presented tremendous chal- lenges and opportunities for the City of Richfield. One of the major impacts of the airport expansion work has been to create an incompatible area of development adja- cent to the airport. Single-family residential areas are no longer appropriate neighbors for the airport. Increased noise from a new runway has made it essential to re-envision the eastern edge of the City of Richfield. These challenges have given rise to opportu- nities for development that serve the future of the City of Richfield and help to mitigate the problems caused by the airport expansion. The masterplan presented here is based on several major unifying ideas that address both the challenges and opportuni- ties now available to the city. 1. Establishing neighborhood centers that are the focus for housing, work oppor- tunities, shopping and recreation all within walking distance is the foundation of this masterplan. The two centers established here are at 66th and Cedar and at Diagonal Boulevard and Cedar. These two neighborhood centers are very dif- ferent from each other but each acts as the catalyst for their part of the city. 2. Physically layering the built bulk of the city from the airport to the residential areas is the response that we have utilized to the issues of airport noise and activity. The parcels of land adjacent to the freeway and airport have been designated to have large-scale retail and office uses. These uses are more compatible with the noise and ?lctivity of the airport and may even benefit from the close relationship to the ~irport. These new buildings can ,be designed to block the sound from the airport. The next layer of the city is made up of higher density residential buildings such as townhouses, apartments, and condomini- ums. These buildings have steppe'd down in size.,from the retail/office layer and the new construction allows developers to address sound issues in the design and construction of these homes. The third layer in the plan is the existing single-family residential area already in existence. 3. In support of the walkable neighborhood cqncept mentioned above, this masterplan creates walking links between activity areas and existing parks and recreation. These new links are sidewalks lined with trees and marked with flowers to help people freely move from home or work to recreation. 4. To reinforce the positive identity of Richfield we have called for the consistent development of sidewalks, roadways, signage and monuments in keeping with the rest of the city. Continued definition. of Richfi?ld as an important first-ring suburb is key to its vitality and quality of life. The possibility for the success of this vision for Richfield is enhanced by the current interest and pressure to develop both retail and residential projects in the city. This masterplan will help guide the city, its people, and developers to create partnerships that can benefit everyone involved. Public-Private partnerships are the key to the creation of community for Eastern Richfieid. This masterplan also sets the stage for future development by establishing standards for that development Two areas that are natural extensions of this masterplan are: 1. The further development of mixed-use retail/office/residential projects along 66th street. This would begin to link the new eastern Richfield entry developments with the vibrant and active center at 66th and Lyndale. 2. As Cedar Avenue eventually links to the airport through a tunnel under the freeway it would make sense to continue the layering of buildings proposed along Cedar Avenue to the south. This could further solidify the identity of Richfield and help link it to its surrounding neighbors. pag0 .10 '.

DISTRICT A Taft Park Greenway ICHFIELD, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER. 2004 District A aft Park,Greenway Priority 1 architects taft park greenway The Taft Greenway provides a pedestrian link between the central intersection at 66th and Cedar with the recreation opportunities of Taft Park. This greenway, with trees, water features, flowers, paths, and lighting also serves to create a linkage between townhouse and apartment units with the larger commercial developments adjacent to the airport. Although the commercial buildings are large and they back against the greenway, recommendations have been incorporated in the design that make the 'back' of the stores an appealing backdrop from the residential units and the greenway. The townhouse and apartment units help create a transition from the commercial build- ings to the existing single-family neighborhood to the west. The new townhouses front on the street and have the added amenity of the greenway as a part of their backyard. Living here you are less than a five-minute walk from stores, churches, shops, .offices, and a major recreation venue. The maintenance and reinforcement of single family houses in this area is also an important component of the plan. It i~ important for Richf.ield to be abl~ to offer a wide variety of housing styles to meet. a yiide range of needs. It is equally important to continue to attract families with children .to Richfield to support the excellent educa- tional opportunities available in the community. page 14 e ........ .

DISTRICT ( RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER, 2004 ; Distrii) Cedar &17 " Bouleva'. Priority 4 ... architects cedar & 17th boulevard Cedar Boulevard is the heart of this proposal for the eastern edge of Richfield. This area contains all of the essential elements of the plan. People here have a wide variety of housing options for themselves and their families as well as being able to walk to work and to activities. The design recommendations illustrate the 'transition from office uses adjacent to the airport, to townhouses and finally to existing single family residen- tial. This transition is important as a model for all of Richfield. Several key points need to be made about Cedar Boulevard: ' New office and service buildings developed along the eastern edge of Richfield help bring additional employment opportunities to the community and also act to mitigate some of the negative impacts of the airport while taking advantage of the access to the air shipping services nearby. Townhouse developments adjacent to the offices provide housing options for the citi- zens of Richfield and new residents that want to avail themselves of the advantages that Richfield has to offer. The size and scale of the townhouses helps to physically step down from the larger scale of the offie,e buildings,to the smaller 'scale and slower pace of the single family houses. ' ' ' The development of sidewalks that ?lre lined by trees and well lit along Cedar Avenue & 11th street helps to reinforce the iqea of a walking community. This boulevard is the backbone of a new system to link the green spaces of the community together in a largersystem' of parks and recreation ppportunities. The addition of sidewalks should serve asa model for the rest of Richfield. The maintenance and reinforcement of single family houses in this area is also an important component of the plan. It is important for Richfield to be able to offer a wide variety of housing styles to meet a wide range of needs. It is equally important to " continue to attract farnilies with children to Richfield to support the excellent educa- tional opportunities available in the community. page 28 . ...... .

Recommendations by JLG Swap the Target and Home Depot locations so that Target would occupy the south part of the property and Home Depot the north Push Target to the western-most property line in order to maintain current parking layout (City could work with developer to work out variances, etc., if required) Step finish floor elevations of the tenants to accommodate some site sloping to the north and help mitigate the need for site fill, retaining walls, etc. Encourage Target to push the design envelope -- they have a history and numerous case studies to support their ability and willingness to be responsive to projects ). Allow for access to the site from the western residential properties ," Move all of the outlot tenants to the southern edge of the site to help establish a more traditional downtown retail development . . o needs street density and zero-lot-line development o parking available directly behind (north) of the tenants -- "back-door" access Qr pedestrian pass-thrus could be incorporated Create strong pedestrian links between the retailers and 66th street, including access to bus transfer shelters (which could be parts of new.buildings) .'

Bike path along 63rd street to connect development to Vets Park Consider designing unique stations for bikers/pedestrians to rest (possibly with restrooms, but security and sanitation would need to be studied) - these "stations" could be shown on the local bike maps Provide bike lockers at the major connections to public transit (the Cedar/66th hub) Want a tunnel at Pleasant Ave, but it's too long and scary; consider Nicollet On Portland Ave, they have removed the overhead power lines and poles (buried them) and turned the space over to pedestrian and bike usage .

STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: MELISSA POEHLMAN, PLANNING & ZONING ADMINISTRATOR NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: ~ uf ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of an amendment to a conditional use permit to allow the construction of an additional parking area and reconfiguration of driveways at 6507,6527, & 6545 Portland Avenue (Morris Nilsen Funeral Chapel property). I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion: Recommend approval of an amendment to a conditional use permit to allow the construction of an additional parking area and reconfiguration of driveways at 6507, 6527, and 6545 Portland Avenue (continued from July 24, 2007). I II. BACKGROUND I In conjunction with the intersection improvements at 66th Street and Portland Avenue, the City is working with Morris Nilsen Funeral Chapel to acquire a portion of their land in exchange for excess right-of-way from the BP Amoco Station to the south. The proposed road design would demand closing the southern most driveway of the Morris Nilsen Funeral Home, but would allow for an additional parking lot area to the south and a reconfigured exit onto 66th Street. A funeral chapel is a conditional use in the C-2 (General Commercial) District. There is an approved special/conditional use permit (CUP) for such a use on file for 081407 ACUP 6507-6545 Portland (continued) . the properties at both 6507 and 6527 Portland Avenue. It is unclear why the property owner was not required to combine these parcels as a stipulation of these approvals, as parking is not an allowable primary use. Approval of an amended permit is necessary prior to closing. This approval will be contingent upon approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment by the Metropolitan Council. A public hearing regarding this item was held and closed on July 24,2007. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I Funeral homes are a conditional use in the C-2 (District). The findings necessary to issue a CUP (546.05, subd.6) are as follows: . a) The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This requirement is met. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as 'community commercial,' which is consistent with the current use. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment would designate the property to be sold to the Funeral Chapel as 'community commercial' as well. b) The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment plans or urban design guidelines. This requirement does not apply. c) The proposed use is or will be in compliance with the performance standards specified in Section 541 of this code. This requirement is met. Off-street parking availability already exceeds the amount required, and will be further increased. There will be some landscaping (lawn) lost to right-of-way along Portland Avenue; however, this is not the fault of the property owner. The property remains in compliance with all previously approved landscape and screening plans. d) The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements. This. requirement is met. e) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or welfare. This requirement is met. t) There is a public need for such use at the proposed location. This requirement is met. g) The proposed use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by this code for the granting of such conditional use permit. This requirement is met. See below. . Funeral homes are conditional uses in the C-2 District, as specified in Section 526.27, Subdivision 4 of the Zoning Code. The sole condition for this use is that the lot abuts an arterial or collector street. This requirement is met. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . On October 25, 2005 the City Council approved the design for a roundabout at the intersection of 66th Street and Portland Avenue. . . In connection with the project, the City acquired the property occupied by the BP Amoco (6545 Portland Avenue). The City also needs to acquire right-of-way for the project from the Morris Nilsen Funeral chapel at 6507 & 6527 Portland Avenue. City staff has been negotiating with Morris Nilsen Funeral Chapel to exchange excess right-of-way from the BP Amoco Station for right-of- way that will be needed from Morris Nilsen. Changes to the layout of parking and drive aisles and the property as a whole require an amendment to the conditional use permit at Morris Nilsen. Approval of agreements between Morris Nilsen and the City are conditioned upon approval of this amendment. Approval should include a stipulation that all three parcels be combined into a single tax parcel. The Planning Commission unanimously approved this amendment at its July 23,2007 meeting. . . . . . .

Approve a resolution establishing just compensation and authorizing purchase of permanent and temporary easements located at 6633 Portland, 6637 Portland and 6645 Portland Avenue. I II. BACKGROUND I The 66th Street and Portland Avenue Intersection Improvement Project requires additional right of way. In addition to total acquisitions and major partial takes some 0814Portland Partials . minor permanent and temporary construction easements are required in order to improve the pedestrian conditions in the project area. Minimum Damage Acquisition Reports were prepared for each of the properties at 6633,6637 and 6645 Portland Avenue. The recommended determinations of just compensation for each of those properties are, respectively, $1,000, $1,000 and $1,500. Those amounts reflect the estimated damages caused by the permanent sidewalk and utility easements and temporary construction easements needed to complete work adjacent to the properties and will be the basis for the offers to the property owners. . There are three large trees located just behind the existing sidewalk that mayor may not be removed as part of the project. If the trees remain, the sidewalk would be reduced from 10 feet to 5 feet in the areas around the trees. If the trees are removed, a 10 foot sidewalk would be constructed along the length of the block and the City could replace the trees behind the sidewalks at the homeowner's request (see attachment). I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . Right of way acquisition procedures set forth by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration are being followed.

STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: KRISTIN ASHER, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: g" REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of approval of plans for the Richfield Lake Water Quality Improvement and Restoration Proiect Plans and staff authorization to advertise for bids. I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: . Approve plans for the Richfield lake Water Quality Improvement and Restoration Project Plans, City Project 53001 . Authorize staff to advertise for bids. . I II. BACKGROUND I As a result of the Minnesota Department of Transportation's (Mn/DOT) Crosstown Reconstruction Project, the City has committed to administering a public improvement project involving Richfield Lake. The project includes the construction of a perimeter pond along the northern portion of Richfield Lake. The perimeter pond will not only accommodate additional storm water runoff resulting from the new pavement but it will also improve the water quality of the main pond. In addition, the walking path along the northern half of the pond will be reconstructed and raised. The City of Richfield has had the improvements at Richfield Lake in its Capital Improvement plan since 2001. Today this Capital Improvement includes the southern half 0814RichfieldLake . . . of the pond, the portion that Mn/DOT's project does not upgrade. Historically, the southern portion has been subject to high water levels that put the walking trail under water. This , project will construct a perimeter treatment system along the southern portion of the pond meeting up to Mn/DOT's project limits, as well as raise the path approximately two feet to provide a dry pavement for trail users. If the southern portion of the project is not completed, storm water draining from the City streets would continue to run directly into the main body of the lake limiting the level of the water quality improvement that could be achieved for the main body of the lake. An Open House was held by staff on June 19, 2006 introducing the southern portion of the project and requesting input on the design from residents. The Council held a public hearing on July 11, 2006 and authorized staff to move ahead into the design phase. The Community Services Commission hosted an open house on May 15, 2007 to gather final comments on the design aspects of the project. At that open house the following concerns were raised: . Bridae vs. Culvert - safety concerns have been raised about having a bridge and open water near the park. The suggestion has been made to replace the bridge with a culvert to convey the water in this area. This option is not as feasible to construct and would be more expensive to build and maintain than a bridge. The question of safety near water at parks is a policy issue and the Commission should determine if this is an unacceptable risk. . Fencina - is there a need for fencing near the post office and apartments to control trash from blowing into the park from the road? . Trees near Bench - near the bench on the northern side of the lake there are a number of large cottonwood trees that are currently marked for removal. If the Commission decides to leave the trees in place the path would be lowered and an additional overflow area would be created here. If they decide to go with the proposed plan the trees would be replaced with ornamental trees. . Staaina - the expected construction would go from November 2007 to May 2008. Is there a strong desire to delay the work on the south side if possible to keep a portion of the path open? This would increase the construction costs and lengthen the project. . . Placement of Trees - residents of the Wood Lake Townhomes will have input on the location of replacement trees adjacent to their homes. Since then, the Community Services Commission has held a public information meeting as part of their regular Commission meeting in June to answer any project questions and receive additional comments on the project. The Commission also held a public hearing. on July 17, 2007. Following the public hearing, the Commission discussed the issues and passed a unanimous recommendation that the City Council proceed with the project as depicted in the proposed project plan adding that the design consider adding shrubbery in select locations to help prevent trash from blowing into the park. The Commission will consider the effectiveness of the shrubbery to contain the trash and if it will be a public safety issue. Staff will develop a long-term maintenance plan for the area. . I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . Regional ponding of storm water runoff is consistent with Richfield's Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . The Mn/DOTportion of the project will begin fall/winter 2007/8. To utilize economy of scale for the southern portion of the pond the design should be constructed in conjunction with the Mn/DOT project. . In order to deliver Mn/DOT's project, an easement is needed from the owner of the property located at 6400 Lyndale (Lyndale Garden Center). Approval of the plans will trigger a 15 day delivery clause for the easements from the owner. I C. FINANCIAL I . The project estimate is $657,000 to be paid for by the Storm Water Utility Fund. . An additional $5,000 was added to cover the reimbursement of an appraisal for the required easements to accommodate the owners need to establish value for tax purposes. . I D. LEGAL I . Pursuant to the City Charter a transitory ordinance was approved by Council on July 11,2006 for the project because the estimated project cost exceeds $500,000. ,I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Council may choose to take no action at this time. I V. ATTACHMENTS I. . Project Graphic . Comments received during the comment period and public hearing I VI.

The formal comment period will end at the close of the Public Hearing held by the Community Services Commission, scheduled. for 7:00 p. m. July 17,2007 in the City Council Chambers. The comment cards asked the following questions: Would you like the trail around the lake to accommodate bicycles? 3 - yes, 6 - no If yes, would you be willing to lose more trees to accommodate bicycles? 1 - yes, 5- no . Written Comments Received George & Marilyn Holter 6424 Emerson Linda & Jim Saathoff 6420 Emerson Comments Good ideas, and the south side should be done in preparationto meet future state requirements for clean water while wecan gethelp with funding - maybe integrate with bridge NWinto playareaandexpand use of park. Those concerned with blight and smell should be told to look at what Minneapolis has done with Nokomis,.Harriet (NE) and Calhoun (SW). Especially the bridge idea by the playground. Glad to see trees and brush cleaned up as well as fallen trees be removed. Commenter Dave Anderson 6701 Lakeshore Drive . Darren McCannon 6412 Emerson Avenue I'm thankful for all the effort! We've been wishing for the removalofthe trees. It's far tooovergrown and dangerous. I'd. rather it be more open than it is. Where I come from we value trees; however; where I come from we don't consider Cottonwood & Boxelders trees, just largeweeds. Everything looks great. I really don't support a fence going up,. it doesn't solve the trash problem that the crazladhas.a problem with andwould only obstruct Cary Schmidt 1016 Mildred Drive .

I am concerned that you are . creating a "moat" around the path and wetland which will for most of the year be mud. and "muck" --- like much of Richfield Lake is. I am concerned that the big trees left onthe outer edge will eventually .be weakened by having soil removed from the roots. . . Public Hearing Comments Received . Doris Rubenstein 6515 Emerson Ave Larson 6600 Lyndale Donna Larson 6600 Lyndale Jim Saathoff 6420 Emerson Main concerns are safety and aesthetics. Walks the park 3-4 times aweekand picks up trash. Trash cans need to be emptied regularly. Commission needs to define whether this is a holding pond or a park. lrit's a park, lets treat itJike a park and keep it clean and safe. If it is a holding pond get rid of all the park amenities. Either way, trash needs to be adequately addressed in the plan. Trash barrels are currently located too close to benches - they smell bad. Safety and security is #1 concern. Whatcan be done to improve security? Concerned aboutthe impact on wildlife, especially birds. Habitat is main concern. This was a dry marsh 30 years ago. We've constantly had a problem with garbage cans and raccoons. The trees need to be thinned out and maintenance of the underbrush needs to be considered. It gets out of control. The pathshould bevisible from the road inviting people to use the park.

"STAFF REpORT RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: KRISTIN ASHER, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER NAME, TITLE COUNCIL PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: REVIEWED BY CITY . MANAGER: . ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of ' . The replacement of the crosswalk on Lyndale Avenue at 64th Street to 63rd Street. . The inclusion of a pedestrian refuQe median as part of the 63rd Street crosswalk desiQn. I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: . Approve the removal of the crosswalk on Lyndale Avenue at 64th Street. . Direct staff on how to proceed with the pedestrian refuge median proposed at 63rd Street and Lyndale Avenue. I II. B~K~OUND I The Richfield City Council adopted a policy in June 2006 for marked pedestrian crosswalks. The policy includes City Council having final approval for the removal of any crosswalks. Since the Lyndale Garden Center's closure, this crosswalk has had a low volume of pedestrians crossing, while more pedestrians are crossing Lyndale at 63rd street going to/from the apartments to the convenient store. City staff performed 08146300Lyndale . . pedestrian counts in July 2007; the attached map shows the results. The Transportation Commission recommends the removal of the 64th Street crosswalk with the installation of a crosswalk at 63rd Street and the understanding that redevelopment in the area may create a future need at 64th Street. Pedestrian ramps will be installed at 64th Street to accommodate a future crosswalk if redevelopment in the area triggers a need for one. On May 22, 2007 the Council approved the recommended alternative for the reconstruction of the 6300 block of Lyndale Avenue. The need to reconstruct the storm sewer along this roadway is a result of the Crosstown Project. As part of the roadway design there is a desire to include a pedestrian refuge island at the intersection of 63rd Street and Lyndale Avenue. In order to include the pedestrian median in the 6300 Block of Lyndale Storm Water and Roadway Project, additional right-of-way is required. The potentially impacted property owners have been contacted about the project and the desire of the City to include the refuge median as a safety measure. The 6245 Lyndale property owner is concerned about losing a parking space, however it has not been determined that a space would be lost for this taking. The permanent R/Wthat the City is requesting lies within the easements needed for the Crosstown Reconstruction Project. . The Pump and Munch station located at 6300 Lyndale would be impacted to accommodate the widening needed for the median. The new owner of the 6301 Lyndale apartments is interested in working with the City on the area improvements. Without any right-of-way estimates available at the time, the Transportation Commission members unanimously recommended pursuing the necessary takings to accommodate the refuge median with the understanding that the Council would consider costs at the August 14 meeting. The cost estimates that are now available show right-of-way costs to be between $170,000 and $200,000 to include the median in the plan. Staff has been advised that condemnation would be recommended to keep the project on schedule. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . Consistent with City policy, the Council has final approval on the removal of crosswalks. lB. CRITICAL ISSUES .1 . Time is of the essence in order to deliver the project under the timelines set forth in the City's agreement with Mn/DOT. . If the Council directs staff to move forward with a plan including a pedestrian refuge median, the September 11, 2007 agenda would require an item approving a resolution authorizing condemnation of the right-of-way needed in order to keep the project on schedule. . . . . I c. FINANCIAL I . Funding for the median island and right-ot-way purchases will be provided by Municipal State Aid (gas tax) tunds. . Preliminary estimate tor the right-ot-way is $170,000 - $200,000. I D. LEGAL I . Cities have the legal authority to establish traffic control policies on city streets. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Do not approve the removal ot the crosswalk at 64th Street. . Do not include the 63rd Street pedestrian retuge median in the project, however stripe and sign a crosswalk at this location. . Do not include any special crosswalk treatments at the 63rd Street and Lyndale Avenue intersection. I V. ATTACHMENTS . Area Pedestrian Counts Map . Map ot project area .
