I; Planning Letter CITY C)F ICHEIELp November 1998 Agenda Section: New Business Item #: 2 Letter #: 47 GENERAL INFORMATION Type of Request: Review and discuss the Richfield Lake Area ( "The Lakes at Lyndale") Master Plan. ANALYSIS Background: The Richfield Lake Area Plan (RLAP) began in February 1997 with the first public information meeting. Driven by the impact of proposed improvements to 35W and the Crosstown, the City recognized the need to take a proactive approach to planning for the downtown Richfield area and initiated the RLAP planning process. Proposal: The Lakes on Lyndale embraces the importance of Wood Lake and Richfield Lake as major assets to a changing downtown area. The plan, over a 10 to 15 year period, creates more and varied housing opportunities, upgrades commercial/retail properties, and provides fuller enjoyment of Wood Lake, Richfield Lake and the proposed Soo Line trail. The attached Master Plan provides a framework for guiding future development in the area. The main objectives of the plan are to: 1. Proactively work with MnDot on its Interstate -35W improvement project, ensuring that Richfield does not suffer a net loss in housing and the project is compatible with the community. 2. Take advantage of opportunities to provide more and varied housing in the Lakes on Lyndale 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 improved access and design that complements Richfield Lake amenities and makes it a place where residents enjoy spending their free time. 5. Improve existing neighborhood cut - through traffic problems. Integrate transit opportunities. 6. Improve the appearance of the community's gateways and the distinction between Richfield and Minneapolis at the city line to reflect the pride residents have in their neighborhood and community. 7. Involve the community in the planning process, generating ideas, feedback and review, ensuring that the process results in a plan that has grown out of a high level of community participation. 8. Realize the kind of redevelopment success on this project that Richfield has experienced elsewhere in the community. The Plan contains information on the process, establishes guiding principles and design guidelines, and lays out a master plan for the area. Fred Hoisington, HKGi, will attend the study session to go through the plan with the Commission. After previously holding three joint study sessions with the City Council, HRA, Planning Commission and Community Services Commission, the Commissions are being given the opportunity to solely discuss the draft plan and provide feedback. ACTION TO BE TAKEN Recommendation: No official action is being requested at this time. The Commission is asked to review the plan and provide feedback. A Comprehensive Plan amendment may be requested at some time in the future. Much like what has occurred at Gramercy and is beginning to occur at Urban Village, the Planning Commission plays a role on a case by case basis in evaluating development proposals as they are presented for this planning area.

Existing Conditions Richfield is located in the center of regional activity. The airport, the Mega -mall, 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 has 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 Richfield Lake Area has shown signs of private disinvestment. Richfield 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 ensure the changes are the ones the city wants - the ones that keep the community vital. The Lakes on 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 Richfield Lake.

The Challenge 2:2 PART THREE: The process The Lakes on 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. In developing the Vision and Guiding Principles it was important to involve the potentially affected interests (PAI); the residents, business owners, and others. This was done through public workshops and newsletters. As the plan developed from concept possibilities to draft master plan, the PAls were involved through public workshops, open houses and newsletters. The final draft master plan and design guidelines represent the vision and commitment the city and its residents have for the Lakes on Lyndale area as a continuing great place to live, work and do business.

Were scheduled as necessary PART FOUR: The Vision and Guiding Principles The Vision Statement What Does This Place Want To Be ?" This is not the same Lakes on Lyndale area that existed in 1997. It is a "place" that it is recognizably different in use, intensity and appearance than its surroundings. -It has a focus, a center, and a place for people throughout the community to gather. It is a community to those of us who live here and the center of community for those of us who live elsewhere in Richfield. There is a real sense of community here. The area functions better with transit that is balanced between cars and pedestrians. Even buses seem to have a place. And natural patterns have been recognized and restored. The true character of the area shows through in the way buildings and public spaces come together. Reinvestment has resulted in expanded business opportunities and greater value for the entire Richfield community_ Most important, the Richfield Lake community now has a focus on us, its people. One of the really good qualities of the Lakes on Lyndale area is that it feels different from the moment we enter. Portals announce our arrival, recalling features of the area that are unique to Richfield Lake. Uses are mixed and in close proximity to one another often varying within a single building. Streets have become the public spaces, linking uses with the lives of residents and unifying the area with elements familiar. to Richfield. Cars are welcome, but in the Lakes on Lyndale area, we want to walk rather than drive. Here we experience the connection between the elements that make the place feel whole. The lakes are the centerpieces of the Lakes on Lyndale area and the natural patterns they paint unify the community. New buildings are marked by their relationship to natural systems, and wildlife of all kinds continue to thrive here. The lakes are not only a respite from the activity of the Lakes on Lyndale area, but their character radiates along streets, walkways and parks, bringing nature closer to everyone's front door. Richfield Lake is a place for families and an enclave for seniors. It has the qualities of a small town, where we walk to work and school, where we wave from our front porches and chat over the fence, where we recognize those we pass on the street, where we play together in the park as families, and where we meet casually with friends in shops and businesses. A lot has been accomplished in the Lakes on Lyndale area by working together to solve its problems and focusing on the strengths of the community. The vision we shared was built on the idea that the Lakes on Lyndale area is a special place ", and that only together could we make the vision a reality. Many things have changed, but that we are now the highlight of the Lakes on Lyndale area is the most significant. ne Vision Statement & Guiding Principles 4:1 Guiding Principles What Does This Place Want To Be ?" A Place for Walkigg — Emphasis should be placed on making it easier and Guiding Principles in safer to walk around and through the Lakes on Lyndale area. Summary: The Lakes on Lyndale area is a place where walking should be part of everyday A Place for Walkinglife, 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 Lakes as a Natural environment for walking.

Richfield Lake evidences decades of abuse. No longer a lake with fresh clean Visually connected with a water, it is a wetland, a receptacle for nutrients and silt. On the other hand, not Distinct Identity many areas of Richfield have even a remnant of a lake. This is why Richfield A Place to Redevelop and Lake is such a valuable and unique resource. It is the single most important Create Value 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 Lake as a Community itself as a wetland. We must demonstrate more reverence for the lake in the Asset future than in the past. We must maintain it as a great place to stroll, to protect A Transit Hub and observe wildlife and gather. More importantly we must improve the quality of its water, as well as that of Wood Lake, if we are to pass the enjoyment of it A Place to Gather along to future generations. A Mixed Use Community A Place for Investments — Reinvestment will be important to maintaining the area's character by improving the quality of housing and businesses. The character of the Lakes on 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 Respected by Highways — 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 traffic must be born by the neighborhoods, like Richfield Lake, that border it. We must identity 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 Richfield Lake community. A Place for Living — The area has the potential to satisfy some market niches and to realize a net increase in housing while investing in existing housing. A significant part of the total population of the Lakes on Lyndale area lives in three large high -rise seniors' housing developments. Seniors are very valuable resources for the Lakes on Lyndale area both socially and economically. They The Vision Statement & Guiding principles 4:2 substantially gravitate from the larger Richfield community making Richfield Lake a melting pot for socio- economic diversity. On the other hand, there are lots of other constituencies that have relatively few housing choices available to them in Richfield and the Lakes on Lyndale area, unlike anywhere else in the City, has the potential to satisfy some niche markets while providing significant support for local businesses. We must recognize the potential to realize a net increase in housing while reinvesting in the housing stock that is to remain. A Competitive Place — Recognizing the importance of ongoing renewal in the area will be important in remaining competitive with other suburbs in retaining and attracting residents No community will be a desirable place to live, work, shop or play unless people have a reason to want to be here. There are lots of other choices. Making them want to be part of the Lakes on Lyndale area requires a constant effort to improve housing, recreation, services to residents and aesthetics. We must recognize the importance of ongoing renewal if we are to maintain a place that is competitive with other suburbs in attracting people. Visually Connected with a Distinct Identity — The identity of the area should be sewn throughout the fabric of the community using landscaping, lighting, building design and focal points. The Lakes on Lyndale area has developed as a lot of individual disconnected pieces that do not tie together. It has no identity that is uniquely its own though it is truly a unique place. As it develops it must draw on its inherent strengths, reflect the character of its setting and the spirit of its people, follow the patterns of the larger landscape, and build on its heritage. Identity must begin at the edges where it clearly declares its uniqueness and then sews that character throughout as the fabric of small town community life using landscaping, lighting, building design and focal points as the connecting tissue. A Place to Redevelop and Create Value — If the Lakes on Lyndale area is to be enriched in character and value, it will be important to identh& and transplant those uses that do not contribute to the overall well -being of the Richfield Lake community. Not everything in the Lakes on Lyndale area functions very well or can be expected to create long -term value for the Richfield community. We must recognize that these elements often have negative effects beyond their boundaries. While the long -term viability of all businesses and residents must be of paramount concern, this does not depend on all of them remaining exactly where they are. If the Lakes on Lyndale area is to be enriched in character and value, it will be important to identify and surgically) xansplant those uses that do not and will not be able to contribute to the overall well being of the Richfield Lake community. Lake as a Community Asset — Although the Lakes on Lyndale area will be used mostly by immediate residents, it must be thought of as a community asset and function as a community center. The Lakes on Lyndale area is a community center serving the needs of the entire City and beyond. As such, Richfield Lake itself must be thought of as a community asset and, though it will be used mostly by the immediate residents, it The Vision Statement & Guiding Principles 43 must reinforce the role and function of the Lakes on Lyndale area as a community center. 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 on 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 on 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 on Lyndale area should be a place to meet and interact socially. It should be an active and vital place filled with people. The Lakes on 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 live or otherwise use the Lakes on Lyndale area to have this be an active and vital place filled with people. A Mixed Use Community — One of the area's principle strengths is its diverse land use consisting of housing, institutions, businesses, recreation and open space. A mixture of uses should be maintained that work together to enhance the sense of community. One of the Lakes on Lyndale 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 fulfills the spirit of community living. The challenge will be to maintain a mixture of uses that work together to enhance the sense of community. The Vision Statement & Guiding Principles 4:4 PART FIVE : The Concept Plan The Concept Plan begins to give form to the guiding principles to the Lakes on Lyndale area. The plan represents locations and patterns for new housing, commercial, transit, circulation patterns for cars and pedestrians, important gateway and identity elements, and important connections to Richfield Lake. This plan was used to test the big picture ideas with the community without getting bogged down with details. The plan was presented at the July 29, 1998 meeting and also appeared in the March 1998 Richfield Lake Area Newsletter. soo+ R ld.monromim•.vu RICHFIELD LAKE AREA DRAFT CONCEPT PLANEnns¢d Sreseap.

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 on 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 Richfield 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 Refer to Master Plan Map) 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 on Lyndale area. Parking is intended to be relatively unobtrusive, located in parking ramps and garages, not at the street's 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 defining 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 end 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 Master Plan 6:1 In the 6200 and 6300 blocks of north Lyndale, mixed retail/commercial and offices are intended to frame the street. In the 6400 block, housing over retail/restaurants are intended to be positioned to maximize resident views to Richfield Lake. These are intended to accommodate buildings of comparable heights to the area's existing housing developments. On the east side of the 6400 block commercial development and parking expansion is intended. Neighborhoods and Housing Four- single - family neighborhoods surround the core and the north gateway. With few exceptions (Wood Lake Village) these neighborhoods have a grid - street pattern reflective of traditional neighborhood design. The master plan refers to these areas as "existing housing ". This means that they are to remain as single- family neighborhoods and that measures will be taken by the City to reduce external influences which may tend to erode livability. Neighborhood conservation is intended to be employed within three of the four neighborhoods that surround the core and the north gateway. The fourth neighborhood, the neighborhood that wraps around the north and west sides of Richfield Lake, is the most vulnerable to outside influence, in particular highway influences. It is intended that this latter area be continually monitored for signs of incipient blight and neighborhood neglect. While the City has an adequate supply of affordable housing, it does not have a diverse stock that is able to meet the needs of its own residents. It is the intent of the plan to provide housing at Richfield Lake that responds to the market while freeing up family housing elsewhere in the City. Approximately 30 single - family homes and 270 apartments are expected to be replaced by 1,400 future units for a net increase of approximately 1,100 new units consisting of townhomes, apartments, condominiums, and other forms of housing to satisfy the life -cycle needs of Richfield residents. New housing in the Lakes on Lyndale area is intended to satisfy the needs of professionals and empty nesters, sans children, providing a more convenient urban lifestyle. While the population at Richfield Lake is intended to age more rapidly, that of the remainder of the City is intended to slow down as housing is freed -up for families within established single - family neighborhoods. The Lakes The intent of the master Y,`.an is to maintain the present character and quality of Richfield and Wood Lakes as wildlife resource areas. Its further intent is to improve the water quality of the lake system by intercepting virtually the entire flow of surface run -off to Richfield Lake and treating it before it is released to Richfield Lake and subsequently Wood Lake. While Richfield Lake is intended to be managed to maintain the present diversity of wildlife and protect its existing character as a place to walk and observe wildlife, it is not intended to be maintained either as is or as part of the Wood Lake Nature Center. Since Richfield Lake is continually losing water surface to The Master Plan 6: 2 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 amount of open water surface. Richfield 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 conflict with human use of the resource. It is intended that trails be designed and in some cases elevated and that vegetative trail edges be established to minimize the overuse of the trails by geese and their young. Many of the conflicts 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 1 -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. The Plan's structure is built on the Garden Village theme. Care and order are to be evident in the built patterns. Structures would 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 flowers would be used to enliven and soften the urban edges. like a garden, the district would have many inviting paths, leading to opportunities to meet neighbors, shop, eat, or stroll over to the lakes. The Master Plan 6: 3 Sketch of 35W Garden Bridge at 661h Street Entry Gathering Gardens and Linear Entry Gardens are used at strategic locations to define the district core, and provide a unifying character within the district. The Gathering Gardens are small plazas just off the streets sidewalk where people can stop and rest, meet with neighbors, watch activities in the district. The Garden would consist of garden -like structures such as benches, perennial and annual garden beds, paths, and may include overhead trellis structures or other focal points. The Linear Gardens would make use of the boulevards along the street to plant colorful perennials and annuals in low raised planters. These short lengths of garden may also include district signs to define the area and welcome visitors. Streetscaoe Lyndale Avenue and 66h Street intersect in the heart of the district, creating an opportunity for an exciting and active center to the area. These regional routes are intended to offer motorists and pedestrians inviting paths into the district where buildings and their entries are at the street, creating a district center. Dressed up with unique district lighting, plantings and other amenities, the streets and sidewalks will create the identity of a livable community, where the streets are community places for people to walk, shop and meet with neighbors. The plan intends for many pedestrian corridors lead off the street to inviting courtyards and entries. PeJemu. figWV nuuu. B.dN MAY. Re V4.W C-14 k&RwLL 5—h The Master Plan 6: 4 Plan Sketch of Gathering Garden Sketch of Lyndale Avenue & 66` h Street Amenities Parkways The Lakes on Lyndale area Plan includes a parkway system that delineates the edges of the core. The master plan intends that the parkway serve two roles, first as an alternative access to the backside of core businesses and second as a minor bypass (northbound Lyndale to eastbound West 660' Street for example) for traffic that has no destination within the core. The intent is to create a true parkway character that serves a traffic function while attractively defining the edge of the core. Most of the street system needed to establish the parkway already exists in West 65`h Street, Lakeshore Drive, and 67h Street. The missing segment is Pleasant Avenue, which is currently an unusually narrow residential street and does not exist at all between 650' and 66'h Streets. It is the intent of the plan to carry growing volumes of traffic on the present street system with no or minimal widening. Of particular concern would be the further widening of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue, which alreadyalready represent formidable barriers to pedestrian crossings. The traffic analysis indicates that at full development of the Lakes on Lyndale area, the present street system will be able to handle the core area traffic volumes with just a few improvements to turning lanes at intersections. 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 660' 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. so" MOCK IEDil1am"AY Richfield Lake will be the only large public space within the Richfield Lake community. Virtually all other spaces are intended to be smaller more intimate places that are conducive to small gatherings, not large events. The RSA Urban Village on the southeast corner of 66`h Street and Lyndale Avenue is a good example of private space which serves a public purpose but is an integral part of the new development. The Master Plan 6:5 Section sketch of inner block pedestrian way The most significant element of the Lakes on Lyndale area Plan is the pedestrian system, which is intended to connect all of the quadrants of Lyndale and 66th. The master plan makes the comer of 66'b Street and Lyndale Avenue the focus of the district by creating and linking plaza spaces on each quadrant of the intersection, making this both the visual and pedestrian center of the district. From there, pedestrianways extend along the major streets and penetrate into development sites along the streets. Each represents an opportunity to create urban garden spaces that will complement adjacent business activity. The three existing parks, Richfield Lake, Little Bobs and Garfield Parks, are intended to continue to be important elements of the Lakes on Lyndale area. It is intended that a much stronger park -like connection be established between Richfield and Wood Lakes by expanding the boulevard and landscaping Rae Drive as a pedestrian linkage between the lakes. This will create a more natural, identifiable and inviting way for pedestrians to enjoy the wildlife characteristics of both lakes. It is also the plans intent to reconfigure Garfield Park as a neighborhood park while leaving Little Bobs Park pretty much as is. Whether or not all three parks should continue to have playground elements as their focus should be decided by the Community Services Commission based on every - changing demographics. Transit Transit takes on greater importance at The Lakes at Lyndale in the future. A transit stop located on West 66th Street, just east of Lyndale Avenue, offers safe and secure shelters which are integrated with other active uses or businesses that facilitate the public's use and acceptance of transit. The shelters are integrated with pedestrian ways, and in particular skyways, to make them more readily accessible, safe, secure and attractive. A Transit Station is intended to be located on 66th Street west of Lyndale Avenue. It too, is intended to be integrated with active uses. It is also intended that transit be given a high level of visibility to maximize its use by residents and visitors. Example of an integrated transit shelter (plan and perspective) t l The Matter Plan 6: 6 Traffic Quieting The primary measures intended to be implemented in the Richfield Lake neighborhoods (other than those that are already in place) is traffic quieting, insuring that non - residential traffic 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), traffic diverters and similar devices. Prior to the installation of traffic quieting measures, the extent of the problem must be established by the monitoring of traffic 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. While residential traffic volumes are considered acceptable at 1,000 vehicles per day, volumes of this magnitude which are internal to neighborhoods are not desired Of course, unique circumstances may warrant traffic quieting at lesser volumes. Emerson Avenue and 63'd Street are already carrying approximately 900 vehicles per average day and warrant immediate consideration. The neighborhood south of 67d' Street and on the east side of Lyndale Avenue has the potential to be impacted by growing traffic volumes attributable to new development in the Lakes on Lyndale area. Here traffic monitoring should be done before development occurs and again post - development (in about three- years) to establish the impacts, if any, attributable to new development. Both interim traffic quieting and contingency plans have been developed for the area south of 67'' Street in the event volumes exceed expectations.

One of the major forces includes Lyndale and 66`s Street. As the automobile became the transportation mode of choice, the roads were widened and parking lots spread out in front of the commercial buildings. The pedestrian environment took second place, and pedestrians were left with un- crossable 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 from the busy, pedestrian hostile street environment. As these and many other forces shaped the Lakes on 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 on Lyndale area would develop into a place they desired. While the Vision Statement and Guiding Principles are the goals of the Lakes on Lyndale area, the design guidelines are detailed directions to be used in the development of district structure, public spaces, redevelopment sites and buildings in order to achieve the Vision. The Design Guidelines are a written set of intentions and directives 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 master 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. Design Guidelines 7:1 1.0 District Structure 1.0 District Structure 1.1 Land Use and Buildings Intent: Create a higher intensity of mixed -use development that creates an attractive and convenient place to live, shop, and visit. Allow higher intensity development that integrates employment, shopping, living, entertainment, transit, and public spaces and facilities. This intensity of mixed -use encourages an active pedestrian district, where many opportunities can be created for social interaction and neighborly gatherings Encourage a variety of uses to attract people throughout the day and night Increase the number of lifestyle housing opportunities within the district New development within the core should respect adjacent residential neighborhoods, through implementing traffic quieting measures, odor and noise buffers, and creating pedestrian connections if deemed necessary. Develop taller buildings at the corners of 661b and Lyndale to create a focal point at the center of the district. Building height should respect existing residential views. Building comers are prominent features within the district and should take advantage of the potential for district highlights_ Incorporate exciting entrances and small plazas to invite activity. 1.2 Streets and District Identity Intent: Streets in the district should have identity and help identify locations within the district. As a public space, they should offer pleasant circulation for motorists and pedestrians, create identity for the district and provide opportunities for casual encounters among residents. The District Identity should build on the Garden Village theme. Care and order should be evident in the patterns. Structures should be at pedestrian scale, made of quality materials with surfaces of warm brick, wood and glass. Plants, ranging from street trees to colorful annual flowers should be used to enliven and soften the urban edges. Like a garden, the district should have many inviting paths, leading to opportunities to meet neighbors, shop, eat, or stroll over to the lakes. Lyndale Avenue and 66's Street are the main crossroads of the district and special streetscape amenities should be applied. District identity should culminate at the intersection of Lyndale and 66th through increased building mass, active building uses with entrances on street, and small corner plazas with pedestrian amenities Design Guidelines 7:2 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 definable 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 less space need be devoted to parking surfaces, driving lanes, and traffic congestion may be reduced A transit stop on both sides of 66'b Street as a safe and secure shelter, integrated with another active use or business. A transit station on 66'h street west of Lyndale 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 they reflect 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 around and through the district such that walking becomes a viable option for 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 Set up a network of interior pedestrian routes that interconnect parking, residential, office and retail, such that each site is part of the district pedestrian system (refer to master plan for pedestrian ways) Provide small gathering places along the pedestrian routes for people to rest and socialize Design Guidelines 7:3 1.4 Richfield Lake Intent: Richfield Lake should be maintained as a natural area, with water quality improvement measures, improved pedestrian 'connections, and expansion of tree canopy into the district. Large expanses of continuous impervious surfaces such as parking lots should be prohibited Encourage parking structures and tree shaded smaller lots to reduce water - warming surfaces. Create system of surface water channels and ponds around Richfield Lake to filter run off and collect sedimentation Preserve and enhance vegetative buffer around Richfield Lake to filter surface water before it reaches the lake Create improved pedestrian access to the Lake Create greenways of tree plantings reaching from the lake up into the district along 650' Street and within blocks. Improve views and appearance of pedestrian entrances to Richfield Lake, remedy erosion problem areas, address accumulating litter, and vegetate edges of trail to limit goose issues. 2.0 Public Spaces 2.1 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue Streetscape Intent: Develop an attractive and consistent streetscape along Lyndale Avenue and 66 '-' Street within the redevelopment area to establish a strong district identity and an inviting street environment for pedestrians and motorists. Secure a 100 foot R.O.W. along 661 Street from Lake Shore Drive to Pleasant Avenue. This will insure 72 feet for roadway I four driving lanes, one turning lane and an 8 foot median), and 14 feet for a 1) Lrxd de Arenw *0 planted median boulevard and sidewalk on both sides of the street. Secure a 100 foot R. O. W. alo_ ;;- Lyndale from Lake Shore Drive to 64'e Street. This will insure 72 feet for roadway (four Averaw near driving lanes, one turning lane and an 8 foot median), and 14 feet for a boulevard and sidewalk on both sides of the street. Design Guidelines 7:4 2.0 Public Spaces Sections showing street and sidewalk widths through 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue Design Guideline 2.1) 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 661 and Lyndale at. intersections with pedestrian `islands' on 8 foot medians. Incorporate some kind of buffer on the median (i.e. bollards) Create a plaza with an identity feature at each comer of Lyndale Avenue and 661 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 Avenue and 661h Street. Plant street trees at even intervals along Lyndale Avenue and 661b Street. Provide pedestrian amenities such as benches and waste receptacles within the "core" and in other high pedestrian use areas.

Plant additional vegetation where appropriate for buffering neighborhoods from businesses, enhancing natural areas, and creating garden -like amenities along the parkway. The parkway should be built for a design speed of 25mph. Site automotive circulation should be designed with shared entries and exits between sites to help minimize curb cuts Consider traffic quieting techniques along parkway if speeding motorists become a problem. Create safer mid -block pedestrian crossings on Lake Shore Drive and 65m street to provide better pedestrian access to the lakes. Consider raised pedestrian crossings with signage. Create safe crosswalks at road intersections to provide a continuous pedestrian and bicyclist route. Refer to the Street & Pedestrian Improvement Guide for details on the following design guidelines: Build 6 -foot sidewalks with a typical minimum 8 -foot boulevard separation from the street see sections) Plant street trees at w even intervals along Lake .... .. Shore Drive, Along 651 from the 661 intersection to Pleasant Avenue, along Pleasant Avenue from 65i° to 671h, along 5) t treerlPart way67d, from Lyndale Avenue to Pleasant Avenue. Provide pedestrian scale lighting at regular intervals along parkway loops. Build a multi -use separated 8 -ft trail along the parkway loop. Link s) Rahraad Parkway south to regional trail planned along Pleasant Avenue. Design Guidelines 7:8 2.3 Entry markers Intent: Mark the entries to the Lakes on Lyndale area redevelopment district with features of a garden theme to reinforce its identity as a district Refer to District Plan of Streetscape and Identity Features for locations: Develop Entry gardens as small gathering places at the northwest corner of Lyndale Avenue and Lake Shore Drive and at the southwest corner of Lyndale. Avenue and 641 Street. Entry gardens should be created with a definable 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 Lake Shore Drive, 65", 640' and Crosstown 62. Develop Linear entry gardens along 66'h Street at Lake Shore 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. Design Guidelines 7:4 Plan of gathering garden . 2.4 Gathering places Intent : Create Public gathering places of varing size and type to encourage 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 661, 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, cafds 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 frequent use include easy access, location on a pedestrian corridor, safety and visibility, sunny exposure, locations at building entries. 2.5 Pedestrian ways Intent : Establish continuous walkways within the district to provide safe, pleasant and uninterrupted pedestrian circulation and access to all businesses. 0 Use the Draft Master Plan's pedestrian routes as a guide for walkways within each block as new site development occurs to insure a continuous coherent pedestrian system. Encourage new site developers to provide pleasant pedestrian corridors and gathering areas within each block as a refuge from the busy streets. When overhead pedestrian crossings are created they should be designed to create an identity and gateway to the core. Skyways should have transparency to offer visibility. Skyways should be used to connect active business areas, parking ramps and residential complexes. Unsafe pedestrian situations, such as curb cuts, right turn lanes, uneven paving and limited visibility need to be limited and addressed where unavoidable. Design Guidelines 7:10 3.0 Site Development 3.0 Site Development 3.1 Parking Intent : Configure and locate parking to insure that buildings and pedestrian areas are the focus of the district Use Draft Master Plan as guide to parking within each block Minimize parking areas in front of buildings, (i.e. between the building and the street). Exception for block on west side of Lyndale Avenue where new mixed -use development relates to the lake and parking in front allows views of tree canopy around lake from Lyndale Avenue. Encourage underground and structured parking within each block to achieve a higher intensity of use. Place parking behind buildings, with minimal parking alongside. Prohibit parking lots at street corners Make access to parking areas visible from the street Refer to the Street & Pedestrian Improvement Guide for details on the following design guidelines: Lighting and landscaping should be consistent throughout the district Parking areas should be screened from the sidewalk 3.2 Building position on site Intent : Insure that buildings help form the pleasant and useable spaces that build the character of the district and contribute to the public spaces of 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. (i.e. prohibit use of large, tall signs) Building Setback and Lot Coverage Guide Design Guidelines 7:11 3.3 Consideration of adjacent residential neighbors Intent : Establish buffers that address traffic, odor and noise that may effect adjacent residents The creation of the parkway will provide a buffer between single family residential and businesses. Additional plantings, fencing and limited access can be used to increase the buffer in areas where deemed necessary. Require businesses to have maintenance schedule to upkeep buffers, including regular collection of litter from grounds and planted buffers.. Discourage use of residential streets for short cutting by incorporating traffic quieting measures where appropriate. Provide pedestrian connections to the pedestrian corridors of the redeveloped district if desired by the neighborhood 4.0 Buildings 4.0 Buildings 4.1 Character /materials /style Intent : Buildings should help form the character and identity of the district and should be of quality design and materials Prohibit typical corporate franchise designs that could be found anywhere ", instead require building design that relates more to the district, using quality materials such as masonry brick, with large areas of glass for visibility and activity at street level. Prohibit large, blank wall surfaces; require windows, doors and other means of articulating large surfaces. Require vertical articulation on exterior walls at intervals of at least 20ft along length of visible walls. Incorporate public use spaces such as entrances, display windows, and benches along building edges to connect buildings to pedestrian walkways. Require buildings to incorporate warm colored brick in exterior construction . Require at least 50% window surfaces for all street level walls Require integrated mechanical systems into the form of the building, not as appendages. Require trash storage areas to be enclosed and incorporated into buildings. Building layouts should offer a mixture of uses and flexibility of uses over time. Design Guidelines 7:13 4.2 Relationsbip /position/entries Intent: Buildings should support the identity of the district, support pedestrian use and have a strong relationship to the street Refer to Building Setback and Lot Coverage Guide for building position on site Place buildings at the street frontage within the core of the district Create buildings that address the street, with front doors to the public space at the street as well as access from parking areas. Buildings should have primary axis orientation perpendicular or parallel to the street it fronts, (no twisted buildings). Entries should have pedestrian connections to street sidewalks. Design Guidelines 7:14 PART EIGHT: Implementation or Next Steps Development Staging The master plan is a guide for future development. 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 Richfield Lake 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 66`h Street and Lyndale Avenue. The RSA Urban Village is in final 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 office congestion and the decline of commercial development at 63`d Street and Lyndale Avenue. The important thing is that some considerable amount of the development within the Richfield Lake 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 financially feasible. Flexibility While this master plan is intended to establish patterns for the redevelopment of the Richfield 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 flexibility. For example, the plan indicates that a cinema should be located in the northeast quadrant of 66`h 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 Richfield Lake Area and not violate the basic principles of the plan. There may even be proposals from existing landowners which can be found to be consistent with the overall Richfield Lake Area Plan. The important thing is that there needs to be an entertainment component somewhere in the Richfield Lake Area. Its location can vary. Also, regarding flexibility, 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 flexibility in building height and intensity to allow feasible projects to be built. 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 terribly obtrusive in the plan. Also important is the future use of Richfield Lake for rather passive wildlife interpretation purposes. The plan does not intend to allow flexibility to permit more active uses of the surface or edges of the lake. Principles are not intended to be flexible because they will change the very character of the district. Implementation measures are intended to be flexible so long as they conform to the principles.

The attached article from Your City describes the process that was undertaken to select a site and explains the first and alternate choices for a new garage location. Issues: • If the garage stays in its current location, the Planning Commission may want to consider a Comprehensive Plan amendment. All parcels are currently zoned industrial, so a rezoning is not required. ACTION TO BE TAKEN Recommendation: No action is being requested. The presentation to the Planning Commission is for information and feedback purposes. RICHFIELD. November 1998 Open House on Proposed Maintenance Facility Site is November 18 The Richfield Maintenance Facility Task Force has selected a site owned by the Metropolitan Airports Com- mission at 77th Street and Cedar Avenue as its first choice for a new City maintenance facility. In case the site cannot be secured, the Task Force has recommended the and Cedar site and the 7700 Pillsbury site received high rankings. A third site that ranked high in the evaluation was the Veterans Park site. However, the Task Force did not select the site because of community feedback on the value of the park to Richfield. MRINTEMANCE If the si 7th and Cedar site cannot be secured from CILITY. M 7 the MAC byFAK-7= E June 1999, the Task Force backup choice be redevelopment of the current maintenance facility site at 7700 Pillsbury Avenue. The Task Force will be holding an open house for the community to learn more about its findings )n Wednesday, November 18, 7 p.-n-, at the Richfield Public Works Facility, 7700 Pillsbury Avenue. The Maintenance Facility Task Force has spent the last seven months studying the need for a new mainte- nance facility and potential sites. Seven sites were evaluated. The 77th recommends the City move to its second choice. For a comparison of the two sites, see "Task Force Main- tenance Facility Site Recommenda- tions" on page 2. The Task Force will make a final recommendation to the Richfield City Council in December. Public feed- back from the November open house will be submitted to the Council at that time.

INSIDE MAINTENANCE FACILITY 2• HOUSING 2 • PROPOSED URBAN VILLAGE 39 ANNOUNCEMENTS 4• TRANSPORTATION 5• CITY SERVICES - BUDGET 6• QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 7. PUBLIC SAFETY 7• 0 Task Force Maintenance Facility Site Recommendations The Task Force's recommendations, approved in September, are as follows: 1) A new maintenance facility it needed. The Task Force found that because of age and inefficiency of existing facilities along with growing maintenance needs, the City must build a new maintenance facility. 2) The site for the new facility should be located at the northeast corner of 77th Street and Cedar Avenue. It is estimated that building at this site would cost $7.9 million, dependent on land costs. However, the feasibility of acquiring the land and the exact land cost is not yet known. This site was selected as the top choice because it ranks high in the areas of building costs, opportunity loss, zoning /compatibility with the City Master Plan, traffic flow, and "not- in -my- backyard" issues. It did not rank well in terms of land availability and acquisition costs, and a central location for operational effectiveness. Should the site not be available from the MAC, the Task Force recommended the City move to its second choice. 3) The second choice would be redevelopment of the existing maintenance facility site. Redeveloping the current site would cost an estimated $8.8 million, dependent on land acquisition costs. This site was ranked less desirable than the Cedar Avenue South site 77th and Cedar) because of cost and loss of opportunity to sell the existing site. This site would also require a two -story design and the acquisition of three single - family homes and Gleason Mortuary. CEDAR AVENUE SOUTH SITE — CHOICE NO. 1 The site is contingent on the following: Owned by MAC, requires FAA/MAC agreement. Cost of about $7.9 million, dependent on land acquisition costs. Advantages Allows for redevelopment opportunity of existing site (lower taxes to residents). Easily accessible. No residential or park conflicts. Operationally viable, not as central as other locations, however no great distance to other public services. Disadvantages Back -up plan needed due to high degree of uncertainty in acquiring the land within a year. Seemingly high valued property. REDEVELOP EXISTING SITE — CHOICE NO. 2 The site is contingent on the following: Purchase of Gleason Mortuary and three homes. Cost of about $8.8 million, dependent on land acquisition costs. Advantages Easily accessible. Operationally viable. Disadvantages Loss of opportunity to lower residents' taxes through redevelopment of existing property into commercial property. Residential property in close proximity.

This event has been successful because of the community participation and the Richfield Visions volunteers. If you would like to help organize the fair please call Lourdes at 861 -9769. The planning committee meets once a month and overall time commitment is less than 15 hours from November to January. Design alert! If you own a rambler or a 1 -1/2 story home and are consider- ing remodeling at some point, look for a special design planbook at the Richfield Remodeling Fair. Approxi- mately 13 suburban communities are working together to develop a range of ideas for these specific housing types. The book will show variations on themes for additions and kitchen remodels, among other things.
