NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Tom Sweeney FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 12 January 1983 RE: Gervais Creek Office Building Development Agreement FILE N0: 758.09 (81.34) As we have discussed, a development agreement is needed for the Gervais Creek Office Building project. We have compiled the following list of items which we feel should be included in the document. A. Purpose. The request invdlved several approvals by the City: 1) professional, medical, etc. offices require a C.U.P. in the R -B District; 2) the lot division not only split the lot but also the building - if the structure is to now be considered two joined structures, a zero lot line situation is created; 3) a C.U.P. is required for joint use of the parking areas - the office /rental hall portion of the project depends upon the day care center's parking area to meet zoning requirements. The City wanted to ensure that if the property and building were allowed to be divided for separate ownership that the character of the building would be retained and provisions made for maintaining the building and site. This and the interrelationship between the actions in the preceding paragraph suggested that conventional zoning was inappropriate and resulted in a decision to process the regcast as a planned unit development. B. Permitted Uses. The applicant originally requested approval to use the building for the following activities: 1) existing day care center, 2) dental clinic and lab, and 3) rental office space. The request was later revised to include a rental hall which required a zoning text amendment on the part of the City. Since parking calculations were based upon the uses proposed, we suggest that use of the property be limited as such. If, for example, the day care center was converted to office space, or office space was added on, the site would then lack adequate parking. This being the case, any change in occupancy from that which was approved, should require approval by the City for modification of the conditional use permit. Assuming that future change in occupancy is not unlikely, perhaps the development agreement should specify the proce. 4820 minnetonka boulevard, su 44 55416 612/925 -9420
