Paul Bengtson January 23, 2006 Resolution 05 -09 PUD Final Plan - YMCA Legacy at Woods Edge VOTE NEEDED: 3/5 BACKGROUND The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes YMCA has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a single tenant health club within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists only of the building plans for the YMCA, as the lot on which it is proposed to be built was already platted as part of the Village No. 3 final plat. AbiThe City of Lino Lakes formed a partnership with the Greater Saint Paul YMCA in 1998 to assist in the construction of a YMCA in Lino Lakes. In 2005 a contract was approved whereby the city agreed to provide 6.7 acres of land, $1.5 million for construction, plus utilities to the site in exchange for a YMCA of approximately 50,000 square feet that includes a teen center, gym, indoor pools, cardiovascular /strength training area, aerobic studio, family program space and a child care area. In return, the YMCA agreed in part, to adhere to the principles of the Town Center Design Guidelines. The plans submitted indicate a first phase of development that will include 37,304 square feet of area spread over two floors. Future phases are proposed to include a gymnasium expansion of approximately 4,200 square feet; a swimming pool (natatorium) expansion of approximately 5,400 square feet; and an approximately 1,200 square foot multi - purpose room. The office and meeting rooms located on the parking lot side of the building are single story, the gymnasium and swimming pool areas are open to the second floor, while the rest of the structure has the locker room facilities on the first floor and the cardiovascular and studio areas above. ANALYSIS Governing Plans This site is located within the Legacy at Woods Edge project and is therefore subject to the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide that was adopted by Ordinance 04 -04 as part of the original Planned Unit Development for the site. aThe proposed layout is significantly conforming to the original Legacy at Wood's Edge layout that is included in the Development Guide. Though atypical to an `urban' development, the development's layout has always acknowledged that this building was intended to take advantage of the surrounding natural environment as well YMCA, page 2 as have minimal impact on the adjacent residential property by being setback from the street. These designs Wave always indicated a connecting walkway through the parking lot of this site to link the YMCA facility with the streetscape; this is further discussed in the landscaping section of the staff report. The proposed YMCA building is located in a Civic Land Use Area and will be located on Lot 18 in Block C (according to the land use plan of the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide). Acceptable Building Type is community facilities, such as libraries, City Hall, and community recreation such as the YMCA. • The Regulating plan of the development guide includes the required street framework, which is currently under construction as part of the city's improvements in the area. This will include the pedestrian streetscape as part of a future phase of construction. The plan also indicates that there is no build -to line requirement for this portion of that block, nor is there any `Required Building Entries', nor any `Gateways' indicated for this site. Allowable Uses The proposed use for this site is a YMCA facility. The Lino Lakes Town Center Development & Design Guide classifies this use as Indoor Recreation Facilities' and considers it a permissible use within the Civic District. The applicable section is included below: SECTION 3.1 ALLOWABLE USES Table 1. Allowable Land Uses in Mixed -Use Commercial, Commercial /Residential and Civic Districts Allowable Land Use Comm ercial Mixed Use Civic Public and Quasi - Public Uses Indoor recreation facilities P TABLE 1 NOTE: P = permitted use. Building Massing & Placement The proposed building is not required to meet any build -to lines, therefore the placement of the building is being dictated more by the desire to take advantage of the natural environment surrounding the south and east sides of the site. The building is set back approximately 148 feet from the Village Drive right -of -way, 60 feet from the south property line, and 65 feet from the east property line. Again, because this building is not required to meet any build -to lines, the height of the structure is only dictated by the overall height limitation of 45 feet. The height of the building never exceeds 31.5 feet; therefore it is in conformance with the height standard. Architectural Standards The Lino Lakes Town Center Design and Development Guidelines (LLTCDDG) typically require a base, middle, and top approach to the architecture within the Legacy at Woods Edge project. During the master planning process for the Legacy at Woods Edge project the feasibility of the YMCA meeting the architectural •design standards was a major issue. Considering the nature of the structure (large gymnasium / pool areas) as well as the funding mechanisms used for construction, staff understood that meeting the specifications of the architectural design standards would be difficult. This led to the site being moved from a more prominent YMCA, page 3 •location directly on the streetscape, to the currently proposed location. This allowed not only interaction with he county park land, but also for the large wall expanses to be built away from the public eye. This approach was continued as staff worked with the applicant. The single story elements of the building received the utmost attention, as did the north elevation since it was highly visible from Village Drive. The base of the single story structure is differentiated by both color and material finishes, and the top is also defined with a crowning element in the form of either a metal cornice or cast stone coping. The applicant has also taken steps to improve the visual appeal of the concrete tilt -up panels proposed for the two -story elements of the building. The swimming pool portions of the panels are adorned with columns of windows, and the north elevation embraces an adaptation on that columnar element with decorative metal panels capped by a large window (a theme repeated else where on the elevations). Random vertical expansion joints help deconstruct the rigid appearance of the panels. The applicant has also supplied to color options as was requested, and will be brining samples to assist in the determination of a preferred color. Due to the setback from the right -of -way for the building, the primary entry is being placed on the parking lot side of the building. While this is atypical for an urban development like Legacy at Woods Edge, the location of the building was always intended to be setback further from the street to take advantage of the natural amenities of the site. The main entrance is connected to both Town Center Drive and Village Drive via pedestrian walkways through the parking areas. Previous comments regarding the strength of the entry canopy have been addressed by the architect with the provision of a vertically enlarged entry structure, an entry canopy with greater mass, and a screen wall to provide shelter from the elements. •Large windows throughout the elevations provide both daylighting opportunities and break up the monotony of the wall planes. The design standards require a reveal of at least 2 inches from the exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest rather than windows and trim flush with the building. The proposed structure has integrated a number of climatic response devices that meet the design guidelines. Daylighting of the interior space is being provided by the additional windows provided and a substantial shelter for patrons is offered by the new entry canopy and screen wall. Staff has included a recommended condition requiring the screening of all ground level and roof mounted equipment; and a condition regarding the trash enclosure. Parking Requirements Single Use Peak Hour Demand Net Floor Area (90% of G.F.A.) Parking Required Parking Provided Surplus 4 spaces per 1,000 s.f. 43,967 s.f. 176 176 0 e above calculation is based on the full build out (approximate total of 48,852 square feet gross floor area). Per Chapter 3.5 of the guidelines, the City is maintaining a shared parking analysis for the entire development. This analysis identifies peak parking demands at key times throughout the day. In the case of a health club, the peak period is identified as 5 PM on both weekdays. 0 YMCA Single Use Peak Hour Demand Parking Peak (5 PM Weekdays) Parking Provided Surplus • YMCA, page 4 4 spaces per 1,000 s.f. 176 176 0 The proposed use is clearly being provided enough parking within the parking lot layout that the applicant has proposed with this application. Entire Block Single Use Peak Hour Demand Parking Peak (5 PM Weekdays) Parking Provided (street & off - street) Surplus Varies 270 281 11 The shared parking spreadsheet is based on the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Standards and as is required by the Development and Design Guidelines. As always, staff will continue to review each project to maintain the parking standards within this block as well as the entire development. With a building of this size, the standards only require 5 bicycle parking spaces. Staff has included a condition requiring that the YMCA to provide a bicycle parking areas sufficient in size to accommodate at least 5 bicycles. Considering the recreational use of the building though, staff is encouraging the YMCA to provide capacity for closer to fifteen bicycles. Landscaping Requirements As previously mentioned in the Parking section of the report, the site plan indicates a total of 176 parking spaces for this phase of the development. This means that the 23 trees provided throughout the lot exceeds the II/requirement of 1 tree for every 10 parking spaces. The parking lot on the north side of the building abuts Village Drive and therefore must provide additional screening. The applicant is meeting these requirements by providing a hedgerow of trees spaces 30 feet on center, with additional shrubbery. Though the parking lot does not exceed the 300 space threshold to require a `connecting walkway' through the parking lot, a `connecting walkway' has always been indicated on the development plan for this site. The proposed connection meets the requirement for width, but it does not meet the requirements that the paving be decorative or that shade trees be provided. The YMCA site is proposing to use some innovative stormwater infiltration tanks as part of the on -site drainage plan. The location of these infiltration tanks is the south end of the parking lot; therefore the landscaping islands that are over these tanks cannot have trees in them as they would cause potential damage to the tanks. As such the Environmental Board has requested that these islands be integrated into the infiltration plan by being depressed with a rain garden -type landscape. The City's engineering consultant (S.E.H.) is evaluating this proposal to determine if it is feasible. Since this is a very `urban' development the implementation of a rain garden -type landscape will need to be heavily scrutinized. Staff is currently researching and developing a seed mix/planting pattern that will excel in both form and function. • The south side of the site adjoins the County Park area and since some tree removal was necessary to complete grading and the construction of the retaining wall to allow eventual construction on this portion of the site. Additional trees may be removed for the construction of the trail. Once the location and extent of all improvement are known, an appropriate plan for replacement will be developed in cooperation with the YMCA. YMCA, page 5 illAs part of the land exchange to the YMCA, the city is requiring the dedication of a conservation easement. The ocation of this easement has not been finalized but will be included with the performance agreement for the site. Lighting The photometric lighting plan submitted with the application is in conformance with the minimum standards of Chapter 3.7 of the guidelines. A condition has been added that specifies the use of parking lot lighting in conformance with what has been required on all of the other sites within the development. Additionally, the lighting fixtures themselves must be submitted for review prior to this item being approved. The building itself will include some architectural and building entry lights mounted directly to the building. These fixtures will be used to highlight the building massing and will enhance the pedestrian environment. Additionally, as was discussed in the landscape section of the report, lighting fixtures are indicated within the `connecting walkway' area that is planned to connect the YMCA to the future building along the Town Center Drive street frontage; however, the design of these fixtures needs to be confirmed. Engineering The city's consulting engineer on the Legacy project is Short Elliot Hendrickson (S.E.H.), and a memorandum including all of their comments is attached to the report. Any outstanding issues will be addressed through the site performance agreement and building permit process prior to construction. • 'Final Plat Typical Planned Unit Development - Final Plan applications include a final plat for the site; however, since this property is currently owned by the City of Lino Lakes and not the master developer or the final occupant, the lot was platted as part of the Village No. 3 plat that was previously approved by the City Council. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed this application at the October 26th regular meeting. Their comments are attached and are addressed in the landscaping portion of this report. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this application at the January 11th regular meeting. They included conditions which have been either revised for clarification purposes or have been met with the submission of revised plans. Specifically, staff feels that the revised landscaping plans submitted January 12, 2006 satisfy the requirements and intent of the following six conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. 1. Staff will work with the developer to provide additional landscaping on the south side of the site. 2. The landscape plan shall be revised to indicate evergreen trees on the northeast corner of the structure as shown on the architectural renderings. 3. All landscaped and sodded areas must be irrigated. • YMCA, page 6 4. The landscape planters located over the infiltration tanks should be planted in a rain - garden type landscaping. This planting plan will be developed by staff prior to the issuance of building permits for the site. 5. A tree preservation plan must be submitted by the applicant. 6. The landscape materials must be substituted as outlined in the Environmental Board's Comments. The Board also requested that the architectural elevations be revised to include a horizontal element to the concrete panels, that the cornice or cap of the brick portions of the building be augmented, and that the base of the metal paneling portion of the structure be strengthened. As these conditions were just placed on the project on January 11`x', the applicant has not made any revisions but has stated they will comply with the conditions of approval recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. • • OPTIONS 1.

Plans for the proposed building were . submitted to the City of Lino Lakes for review on October 10, 2005. Plat 1. The updated drainage and utility easement needs to be shown. Preliminary Site Plan (Sheet C1.0) 1. The trash enclosure area is not shown as on the Ankeny Kell site plan. 2. The phased parking boundary line in the southwest corner, at the entrance drive, is not reflective of what will be built as a part of the public improvements. As shown, it will not match up with the public improvements construction. Coordinate with SEH to get the correct information. 3. Coordinate with SEH to get the correct retaining wall locations. 4. Dimensioning should be provided for the typical parking stalls and drive aisles. 5. The southern end of the drop -off zone in front of the building has a rather abrupt transition from the main drive aisle. It may function better with a more gradual transition similar to the north side of the drop -off zone. 6. There is no indication given as to what the surfacing and section of the service road will be. Preliminary Grading and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C1.01) 1. Spot elevations should be placed at each end of the curb cut north of CBMH 4. 2. Coordinate with SEH to verify proper elevations in the southwest entrance drive. 3. Coordinate with SEH on proper wall location and elevations. 4. There are no details shown for the curb cuts in the median islands. A detail should be shown dimensioning the size of the curb cuts. 5. The spot elevations at the north entrance off of Village Drive should be revised to match the elevations shown on the Village Drive plans in the Legacy at Woods Edge — Phase 1 plan set. 6. The grading plan shows the grading for the entire parking lot. If the lot is only being built to the phase line, it appears that in the southwest area of the Phase 1 parking lot will have the existing ground higher than the parking lot surface. It is suggested that the plan show the necessary grading Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc., 1701 West Knapp Street, Suite B, Rice Lake, WI 54868 -1350 SEH is an equal opportunity employer 1 www.sehinc.com 1 715.236.4000 1 715.234.4069 fax -57- Mr. Michael Grochala November 2, 2005 • Page 2 • actions to match the existing ground along with the required seeding and erosion control measures. The future phase plans will then show the earthwork required to match the Phase 1 parking. 7. What provisions are being made for temporary curbing where the future underground parking entrance is at the building near the north entrance off of Village Drive? Some sort of curb will be required to contain the runoff that will already be traveling in the gutter flow line. 8. It is recommended that spot elevations be revised on the curb at the parking entrance drive aisle just south of Catch Basin 3 to demonstrate a high point or ridge to contain runoff flowing from the parking area into the main drive aisle, then north to Village Drive. 9. Are any trees being impacted by the grading operations on the south and southeast sides if the project? Impacted trees should be shown on the plans. 10. According to the submitted calculations, there is a very large amount of runoff being directed to CB 10 and CBMH 4 (9.65 cfs). Utilizing Neenah orifice flow calculations, these two Neenah catch basin grates will not be able to handle this flow, resulting in ponding at this location. It appears a significant amount of flooding of the main drive aisle would result in a 10 -year storm event. Additional storm sewer catch basins should be utilized in the parking lot to collect some of this runoff before reaching the southern end. 11. Coordinate with SEH on the exact location of the storm sewer chamber system. This will affect the location of STMH 5 in the median. 12. Roof drain locations for the YMCA building should be shown on this plan. 13. The amount of runoff flowing into the basin at FES 11 is not shown. It is recommended that rip rap, or some other acceptable method of erosion control, be placed from FES 12 all the way to the base of the slope at the wetland to prevent erosion from the discharge out of FES 12. 14. Show pipe sizes on the plan for the stonn sewer run from CB 3 to the existing manhole on the north end of the site. 15. Spot elevations should be shown at all major building corners. 16. Stone Manhole 5 should have a 2' sump in it to aid in sediment collection before runoff enters the storm chamber system. 17. Pond 3 has a normal water line (NWL) of 888.4 and a high water line (HWL) of 889.7 after final design of the public improvements. Please change Pond 3 information to reflect this. 18. When changing pipe sizes across a manhole or catch basin, match crown elevations, if at all possible, to preserve hydraulic grade line instead of matching invert elevations. Preliminary Utility Plan (C1.02) 1. Coordinate with SEH to show the revised water main through the YMCA site. 2. Note that the sanitary sewer near SSMH 1 will need to be installed under existing water main. 3. The 6" and 8" water main services should have 45° bends near the building rather than the 90° bends shown. 4. Coordinate the water main connections on Village Drive with SEH to ensure they are completed before bituminous surfacing is placed.

Dimension, or call out with notes, the horizontal separation between the water main and sanitary sewer lines. Preliminary Detail Sheet (C1.04) 1. All manhole and catch basin details need to call out the usage of Infi- Shield or equal neoprene sealing sleeves around the rings and casting. 2. The typical sidewalk section detail has a typo calling out sidewalk to be 6" wide. Landscaping Plan 1. Trees cannot be planted in medians that are located above the StormTech stone sewer chambers. Site Plan by Ankeny Kell 1. It is suggested that a walk be placed from each of the accessible parking loading aisles to the main walk through the median area. This will provide an accessible route that will not force people out into the parking lot and drive aisles to access the crosswalk to the main entrance.

Make these islands depress ional and a part of the infiltration plan. Slope the parking lot to these islands. Plant a Rain Garden- type of landscape in the two depressional islands. • Landscape areas: Infiltration areas should be constructed with low - compaction equipment. All turf areas should be thoroughly tilled after top soil is spread. Verification of this practice should be done by the Environmental Division of the City. It is suggested that escrow dollars be applied form this work. • Change some of the Autumn Blaze maples to Northern Pin Oak. The Pin oaks give the same fall color effects as the Autumn Blaze Maples and are not as sensitive to lack of timely pruning. Short term losses to the Autumn Blaze Maples can be expected if timely pruning is not applied. Substitute White or /and Bur oak for the Fall Gold Ash. Fall Gold Ash has been removed from the City planting list because of massive tree failure. One of the original intents of The Village was to meld development into the existing natural (Regional Park) landscape. Therefore the same tree substitutions of Oaks for Willows should be made. The proposed Scotch and Austrian Pine should be changed to Red pine and White Pine. More trees should be designed along the area to the South bordering the wetlands where trees were lost due to project clearing. These trees could be any combination of native Oak, Hackberry, Green Ash, Cherry and Red Maple. • Under the Planting Notes of the Project Design Sheets, loamy backfill into the planting holes should be avoided. Trees should be backfilled with existing soils. • Turf areas should be tilled as deep as possible into the subsoil after topsoil is spread. Verification of this cultural practice should be done by the Environmental Division of the City. It is suggested that some escrow applied for this work. • The City Native Seed mix should be used in pond and restoration areas south of the trail. Sod areas should be shown on the plan as irrigated. Seed labels must be verified before seeding begins. The developer should hire a landscape contractor knowledgeable in the in installation and maintenance of native plants. A contract with such a company should be submitted to the City for approval. The company should be hired for a minimum of 3 to years. • The YMCA should submit a Tree preservation Plan that identifies all significant trees within 50 feet of the construction area. Significant trees on the perimeter of the project must be protected with a 4 -foot orange snow fence. This fence must be installed before construction begins. • • • • Somewhere on the Erosion Control Plan it must be indicated the location on the site where the erosion control plan will be located, along with required weekly and post rainfall event inspection reports. A contact and phone number should also be listed for the responsible site NPDES Supervisor. The plan should note that additional rock will be stockpiled or brought in should the rock entrance become dysfunctional due to rock -pore filling. All storm sewer catch basins should be protected with an approved device such as the Royal Infrasafe Collection Device. • No soils should be imported or exported without City approval. • A post development BMP plan should be written and be part of an over all BMP /Maintenance for the Woods Edge Development. • The proposed Conservation Easement for the site should be written to minimize tree and plant loss. Signs should be placed at the Easement. Motion to approve by Bor, Second by Bauman. All were in favor.
