SUBJECT: Review Site and Elevation Drawings (Blue Fin Pool & Spa) DATE: June 17,2008 INTRODUCTION The EDA is asked to review and approve the attached architectural/site design of Scot Brenner's proposed building to be built on the parcel of land located directly South of Louis Rudnicki's Retail Center. Also attached is the site plan showing how they are positioning the building on the lot. We have been in contact with Louis Rudnicki to show him what was proposed. He has indicated that the changes that have been made related to his concerns are acceptable to him. See attached email relating the conversation and follow through (changes) that were made to satisfy his C concerns. DISCUSSION The Andover Station North Design Guidelines require the building to be reviewed by the Andover EDA to determine whether the materials conform to the qualities the EDA has established for this area. The materials that it will be built of integrate colored concrete block with other exterior finish materials including glass, brick and EIFS to match the existing retail center. Staff feels that the design and materials choices are in keeping with the design guidelines. Mr. Brenner plans to build the 5,263 square foot structure this summer. The site plan shows the amount of parking is adequate to meet their needs. They will have a shared driveway and parking access and maintenance agreement with the adjacent owner. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to approve the architectural design and site plan for Scot Brenner (Blue Fin Pool & Spa). The Andover Review Committee will review the final details of the site plans during the Commercial Site Plan Review process. Respectfully submitted, wi-..

The high roof area on sheet A1 is shaped like and "L". The parapet on the west and south sides will be as high as the high roof so as to hide the bulky appearance. The side walls of the high roof are planned to match the existing parapet walls in color and material (stucco). I have attached a preliminary floor plan for your reference. I will make the adjustment to the island in the parking lot Please note that this will require relocating a light pole. James -----Original Message----- From: Will Neumeister [mailto:WNeumeister@ci.andover.mn.us] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 3:55 PM T : James Berthiaume; scotfinman@aol.com Cc: TODD GANZ Subject: RE: BLUE AN - ANDOVER STATION Gentlemen, I sent the drawings to Louis Rudnicki and we just talked about some elements 0 that I need to get more info. on and also ofter some of my own critique on. I tried to explain the high roof area on Drawing A 1 to Louis, and I think I read it correctly, but he was concerned that the high roof was not covered very well by the parapet on the west elevation drawing. I explained that the high roof only is in the rear of the building (Where it is shaped like an "L" ) and that you wouldn't hardly notice the high roof area because of how that is recessed. Am I reading that correctly? The south parapet wall should be the same height as the roof of the mezzanine roof. All the walls of the mezzanine area should match the color and look of the parapets so that they will look uniform and blend in. Is that something we can agree will be done? We will need to see the floor plan of the building to see how much is storage and how much is retail space as well as see how it is laid out. The parking area layout should be slighlty modified. Please make the curb island that is in need of beinQ moved line up with the other curb Island that is . being created next to Louis Rudnicki's center. 0 'Will :Neumeister Community CDevefopment C])irector City of .ft.ntiinJer (763) 767-5140 :. ~' .~ S'\NDbVE~ @) 0 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. .

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: EDA President and Board ~./ ~ CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Direct FROM: Will Neumeister, Director of Community Development wi- SUBJECT: Discuss Changes in Allowable Uses / Potential Sale of Land to Eddy Prater (Continued) DATE: June 17,2008 INTRODUCTION As was discussed on May 6th and 20th the EDA is requested to review the attached drawings and provide comment/direction on whether there is interest in making any changes to the allowable uses in Andover Station North to allow auto oriented repair. DISCUSSION Based on previous EDA meetings input, Mr. Prater and his son have worked with City Staff to put together a concept plan to show what they would like to do. See attached sketch of what could be done to put Eddy's ALTRA repair facility on the lot that John Larkin was going to build on. They are 0 considering making an offer after John Larkin's time extension expires (July 15th). They are thinking about purchasing part of the parcel and also writing an option on a portion of the remaining land. Staff has explained that they would need to keep all vehicles needing repair in an enclosed area. In response to that comment, they have indicated that they are considering putting a roof over the vehicle storage area. If that would be the case, then the outside storage would be eliminated. The vision that they have is an auto-services related mall. Including a retail parts store, car wash, sound system installer, vehicle repair and body shop. They have indicated that they would be interested in developing the entire auto mall and do it gradually. As they have more interest from other entrepreneurs, they would continue to add onto the building. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to review Mr. Prater's request and determine if there is interest in making the necessary changes in the allowable uses in Andover Station North to allow auto related repair facilities in Andover Station North. Also, please consider the question Mr. Prater has, that ifMr. Larkin's time expires and he doesn't have the MVP Sports Academy parcel financing arranged, would the EDA be willing to sell a part ofthe parcel for an auto-services mall?
