Adjournment . The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 .,.. . . . Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) Hey Date: March 3, 2005 To: Golden Valley Planning Commission From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Final PUD Plan for Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America-PUD No. 87 Amendment No.2-Corporate Campus Phase II-Allianz Life, Applicant BACKGROUND Atthe April 4, 2000 City Council meeting, the Council gave final approval to the General Plan of Development for Allianz Life USA Addition PUD No. 87. This final approval allowed for the construction of Phase I of the Allianz campus plans. Phase I includes the existing 10-story, 400,000 sq. ft. office building and 5-story, 7-level parking ramp with 1,434 parking spaces. In addition to the parking ramp spaces, there are 368 surfac~ parking spaces for a total of 1,820 parking spaces. The total area of the Allianz site is about 12 acres. At the time the Phase I development was approved by the City Council, the Council also gave preliminary approval to a Phase II development that would include the construction of a 5-6 story office addition of approximately 200,000 sq. ft. and an expansion of the parking ramp to add an approximate 820 parking stalls. It was anticipated that the final parking count for the Allianz development would be 2,500 parking spaces (ramp and surface parking) to serve the 600,000 sq. ft. of office space and about 2,400 employees. The Phase II development would have to go before the City Council to receive Final Plan approval before construction could begin. (In July, 2004, the City Council amended the PUD to allow Allianz to construct a temporary 247 space parking lot west of the existing office building. This parking has been constructed and is now being used. This parking lot will be removed as part of the construction of the Phase II.) It was originally thought by Allianz that Phase II would be constructed in 2008. Due to the success of the company and the need to provide space for their expanding employee base, Allianz is going forward with Phase II ahead of schedule with construction starting in spring 2005 and completion in 2006. At the time the PUD was 1 ..j.. . approved in April 2000, the PUD ordinance required that only the City Council review the Final Plan (called the General Plan of Development in the old PUD ordinance.) In late 2004, the PUD ordinance was amended to require that the Planning Commission hold an informal public hearing and review the Final PUD Plan in order to determine that it was consistent with the Preliminary PUD Plan. REVIEW OF PHASE II APPLICATION FOR FINAL PLAN APPROVAL Allianz and its consultants have submitted a complete application for the Final Plan of Development for Phase II. The application booklet is attached to this report and dated February 8, 2005. Within the application booklet are the reduced scale plans. Full scale plans are also attached to this report. The PUD Code states that the role of the Planning Commission is the review of the Final PUD Plan for consistency with the Preliminary Plan for the Phase II portion of the PUD No. 87. In April 2000, the City Council gave Final PUD approval to the Phase I portion of the Allianz development and only Preliminary Plan approval to the Phase II portion of the Allianz plans. . The staff has reviewed the proposed Phase II plans and finds them to be generally consistent with the PUD that was approved by the City Council in April 2000. The PUD permit approved in April 2000 calls for the Phase II development to include a 200,000 square foot, 5-6 story addition along with the addition to the parking ramp of the same height and some additional surface parking. It was anticipated that the total number of parking spaces on the Allianz campus atter completion of Phase II would be 2,500 spaces with approximately 2,200 spaces in the ramp and around 300 surface parking spaces. There are several changes to the Phase II plans that should be considered although they are not significant changes from the plans submitted as part of the April 2000 approval. These changes are as follows with staff comment: 1. Shape of Phase II office building-The shape ofthe Phase II office building has changed. The Preliminary Plans for Phase II indicate a building that is shaped more like a reverse "L" with a two level link connection to the Phase I office building. The Phase II office building has changed shape and is rectangular in shape. It remains 6 stories in height as it was in the Preliminary Plans. This does not significantly alter the visual presentation of the building. It will be constructed of similar materials to the existing Phase I building and designed by the same architect. . 2. Addition of Auditorium and Training Area-The revised Phase II plans call for a two-story, 350 seat auditorium that will be located between the Phase II office building and the parking ramp. It will share a lobby with the Phase II office building. The auditorium will be used only for internal Allianz events.during business hours; therefore, no additional parking will be needed. Allianz has noted that this auditorium may be available for community uses after regular business hours when parking becomes available. Access to the auditorium will be from the west entry plaza. The Phase II plans also call for several training rooms along the link between the Phase I and Phase II office buildings. These spaces will be used for employee training only 2 . and not used as office space. At the current time, they have a shortage of training space. 3. Parking-The proposed addition to the parking ramp is consistent with the plans submitted to the City in April 2000. There will be a total of 2,250spaces in the ramp and 250 surface parking spaces. The 250 surface parking spaces are primarily along the west and south side of the site as was in the plans submitted in April 2000. There have been some slight changes to the parking areas due to the shape of the office building. The attached memo from City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, dated March 1, 2005, to me indicates some changes that will have to be made to portions of the surface parking. These changes are relatively minor to improve traffic flow and safety. At the northeast corner of the campus, Allianz would like to add 18 new visitor parking stalls as shown on the site plan. These spaces are needed for short- term visitor parking. It is anticipated that there will be about 2,400 Allianz employees on this campus. This amount of parking should more than adequately provide parking for both employees and visitors. 4. Full Basement Below Phase II Office Building-Allianz plans to construct a full basement below the Phase" office building for the purpose of mechanical and data center support space. No employees would be housed in this space. As indicated in the attached letter from the architect and attached to the application, the full basement is a cost-effective way to construct the building due to the poor soil conditions in the area. The PUD permit will indicate that the basement level can only be used for mechanical and data center support space with no employees housed in space. . 5. Landscaping-Allianz has developed a landscape plan that is attached to their application. It indicates the placement of numerous trees and shrubs along the perimeter of the site. They also indicate that the interior courtyard spaces will be landscaped in a manner similar to the Phase I landscaping near the front of the entrances to the building. They have indicated that the central courtyard south of the parking ramp will "incorporate environmentally responsive site design strategies by selecting climatically and regional appropriate plants that minimize maintenance, reduce pest management and irrigation requirements and enhance regional identity". Allianz has had an excellent track record for site landscaping. The entry point to Allianz at the intersection of Golden Hills Dr. and Xenia Ave. has been very well landscaped and applauded by the community. All landscaping plans must be approved by the Building Board of Review. In the memo to me dated March 1,2005, City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, listed several recommendations that will also become recommendations of this memo. These recommendations have been discussed with Allianz and will be addressed. One of the most significant recommendations of the City Engineer is the requirement that Allianz ~ post a cash escrow of $100,000 to fund a portion of future improvements to Golden Hills Dr. These improvements will be done at some time in the future as determined by the City. . 3 .. Deputy Fire Marshal Ed Anderson has also written a memo to me dated February 22, 2005 indicating his comments on the final plans for Phase II. These comments will also become a part of the recommendations of this memo. The major issue when addressing this development prior to its approval in April 2000 was traffic congestion. What measures would have to be taken by Allianz and the City in order for traffic to flow smoothly in the area when there are 2,400 people employed at Allianz? The City and Allianz worked to develop street improvements and a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) to help address the issue. The TMP was developed assuming full build out of the Allianz campus. So far, the traffic that has been generated by Allianz is less or consistent with City projections during the AM and PM peak hours due to certain traffic management techniques employed by Allianz. The most important factor has been that workers at Allianz have a wide window for beginning and ending work. This spreads out the impact of the traffic from Allianz over a longer period of time and reduces peak hour congestion. It is anticipated that the same will happen after the Phase II building is constructed. If traffic does become a problem, Allianz has committed to make changes in order to reduce AM and PM trips to and from their site. Since this traffic management issue was addressed as part of the original PUD approval, there will not be any additional conditions related to traffic in this new PUD approval. There will have to be a new plat for this PUD submitted to the City Council. At the current time, the property is divided into two lots. Allianz would like the property divided into three lots-a lot for each of the office buildings and a lot for the parking ramp. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the new building, a revised plat will have to be approved by the City Council and Hennepin Co. indicating the new lot lines. . Staff is enclosing a copy of the site plan from the original approval in April 2000, and the site plan from the PUD amendment done in April 2004, that permitted the construction of a temporary parking lot west of the Phase I office building. Also attached is a copy of the PUD Permit for the Allianz development that was last updated when the temporary parking lot was approved in July 2004. RECOMMENDED ACTION The staff recommends approval of the Final PUD Plan for Phase II of Allianz PUD No. 87. The plans are consistent with the preliminary PUD plans that were submitted and approved by the City Council in April 2000. The changes that have become part of the final plan for Phase II are relatively minor and improve the site. The Allianz campus remains under a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) that requires Allianz to take action to reduce AM and PM peak hour traffic if certain thresholds are met. The size, bulk and height of the Phase II buildings are the same as the plans approved as part of the original PUD. The staff is recommending the following conditions to the approval that will become a part of the PUD permit: . 1. "Application for Final PUD-Allianz Life Insurance Co. of North America Corporate Campus Master Plan-Phase II" dated February 8,2005 shall become a part of this approval. The Application includes site plans, building elevations, existing condition map, demolition plan, grading and drainage plan, stormwater pollution prevention plan, utility plan, utility detail plan, and landscape plan. 4 . . . 2. The recommendations of City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, found in a memo to Mark Grimes dated March 1, 2005. 3. The recommendations of Deputy Fire Marshal Ed Anderson found in a memo to Mark Grimes dated February 22, 2005. 4. The basement of the Phase II office building will be used only for mechanical and data center space and shall be non-habitable. 5. The auditorium shall be for internal use by Allianz during regular business hours. 6. A revised final plat shall be submitted that will indicate three lots-one for each of the Phase I and Phase II office buildings and one lottor the parking ramp. The revised plat must be approved by the City Council and approved by Hennepin Co. prior to any building permits being issued on the Phase II development. 7. The final landscape plans must be approved by the Building Board of Review. 8. The building plans must be reviewed by the Building Board of Review prior to issuance of building permits. 9.

J/i) 1J~/' Final Plan of Development R~w for Allianz Life, PUD 87 A-2 Subject: Public Works staff has reviewed the proposed final plans for the Allianz Life Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment. The Allianz site is located north of Interstate 394 and west of Xenia Avenue. The following comments regarding the proposed plans are based upon our review. Site Plan . The proposed site plan is generally consistent with the original PUD site plan. However, this submittal includes an auditorium and training area, both located between the existing and proposed buildings that were not on the original plan. The addition of these features is acceptable from a Public Works perspective. . Staff has identified several issues within the proposed parking lots that result in potential safety issues. A summary of these issues is a follows: The plan shows 90 degree parking on the inside of the curve in the extreme southwest portion of the site. The proposed parking, in conjunction with the tight radius of the curve, results in a significant sight distance problem for vehicles using the driveway. Traffic entering or backing out of these parking spaces will also have poor sight distance. These concerns will create a situation where crashes are highly likely. Therefore, at least four of these parking spaces should be eliminated. There is also 90 degree parking shown on both sides of the western driveway immediately south of Golden Hills Drive. Vehicles utilizing these parking stalls will need to use both lanes of the driveway to enter or exit the spaces. In addition, these vehicles will be blindly backing into traffic using this driveway, and pedestrians will also need to cross the driveway traffic, which will be heavy during peak hours. These issues also result in a situation where crashes are likely and the potential backups could affect traffic on Golden Hills Drive. Therefore, at least four parking stalls should be removed on each side of this driveway just south of Golden Hills Drive. G:\Developments-HRA\Golden Hills Central\Allianz Phase 2\PUD Review 030105,doc . The row of parking proposed immediately west of the entry plaza and the parking ramp also has potential conflicts at one parking stall. This stall is the furthest north on the east row of this parking bank. Vehicles using this site from the north, which is the most likely direction for traffic, will need to perform multiple maneuvers to enter or exit the stall. These maneuvers will occur in the driveway access in and out of the parking ramp. Therefore, this parking stall should be eliminated and the concrete island should be expanded. The driveway adjacent to the entry plaza has a proposed width of 24 feet. Since this area will likely be heavily used for deliveries and pick-ups/drop-offs, there will frequently be vehicles parked in the driveway. The proposed width is too narrow to allow parked cars to enter or exit the adjacent parking stalls while other vehicles are parked in the driveway. Therefore, the plans should be modified to provide adequate space for parked vehicles and access to the parking spaces to occur at the same time. There is an existing MCTO bus stop located on the southwest corner of Xenia Avenue and Golden Hills Drive that was constructed when the original Allianz building was constructed. The location of the bus stop and shelter in the southbound right turn lane into the Allianz site creates traffic congestion problems when buses stop at this location. In order to eliminate these traffic issues, staff and the City's consulting traffic engineer are currently reviewing alternative designs for the bus stop. Allianz will be required to make the modifications as part of the second phase of the PUD. An agreement will be . developed that outlines these changes. When the original Allianz PUD was developed, the upgrading of Golden Hills Drive was based upon the first phase site plan. With the second phase of development there will be additional traffic on Golden Hills Drive. In addition, there will be future need to modify Golden Hills Drive to accommodate right turn lanes and access points to the property on the north side of the street when redevelopment occurs there. It is estimated that the overall cost of improvements due to development of the Allianz site and other properties will be in excess of $500,000. Based upon the additional needs on Golden Hills Drive, and the amount of traffic that will be generated by Allianz, staff recommends that this developer post a cash escrow for 20% of the estimated cost, or $100,000. This escrow must be posted prior to approval of the final PUD amendment. All pedestrian ramps on site must be constructed according to the City of Golden Valley Standard Detail, including the installation of detectable warning devices. The City detail must be included on the Detail Plan submitted for the project. Utilitv Plan The proposed utility plan does not include the installation of any additional fire hydrants on the west end of the site. It is recommended that an additional two hydrants be placed on site within the western parking lot areas. In addition, in order to insure adequate fire flow to these hydrants, the water main should be looped from the existing mains on the . G:\Developments-HRA\Golden Hills Central\Allianz Phase 2\PUD Review 030105.doc south and north sides of the site. This water main extension will be a City-owned main . and must be designed and constructed according to City standards. The water main improvements will also be addressed in the development agreement between the City and Allianz. The water main extension discussed above must be placed within a 20-foot wide drainage and utility easement centered over the water main. This easement must also extend to cover all fire hydrants on site. The developer will be required to prepare and submit a legal description for this drainage and utility easement, which the City will then prepare for execution. This easement must be submitted for recording prior to the issuance of a grading permit and start of any work on site. In order to provide a more complete picture of the proposed utility changes on site, the Utility Plan must be modified to include all proposed sanitary sewer and water main removals. The standard details for sanitary sewer and water mains on site, as shown on the Detail Plan sheet, must be City of Golden Valley Standard Details. GradinQ, DrainaQe and Erosion Control Plan . This development is within the Sweeney Lake sub-district of the Bassett Creek Watershed, and is subject to the water quality standards of the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission (BCWMC). The final plans must be submitted to the BCWMC for review and comments prior to any work starting on site. The BCWMC Water Quality Policy requirements for this site have been accounted for in the storm water pond in the northwest corner of Xenia Avenue North and Laurel Avenue. This regional pond was constructed by the City in 1999 as part of the Xenia Avenue Extension Project. This PUD is also subject to the City of Golden Valley Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Ordinance. As such, the Grading Plan for the site must be prepared according to City Standards, which have been provided to the developer's engineer. The final Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan must be approved prior to submitting the plans to the BCWMC for its review and comments, and prior to issuance of a City Grading Permit for the site. The proposed storm sewer removals shown on the demolition plan must be shown on the Grading Plan. Additional spot elevations are needed on the grading plan, particularly on the islands in the western parking lot, in order to more fully analyze drainage patterns on site. . G:\Developments-HRA\Golden Hills Central\Allianz Phase 2\PUD Review 0301 05.doc . This development must also obtain an NPDES Storm Water Permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency prior to starting of any work on site. The developer must provide the Public Works Department with copies of the NPDES permit application and a copy of the permit once it has been obtained. It appears that a CADD layer from the Utility Plan was not shut off when the Grading Plan was plotted. There are several labels from the Utility Plan along the southern portion of the site that need to be removed from the grading plan. The developer has also submitted a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as part of the submittal package. Although this plan is required as part of the NPDES permit, it contains information that must also be included on the Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. The developer's engineer should review the requirements for both plans and combine the plans to the extent possible. It may be possible to provide all the required information on a single plan. . The line type shown for silt fence shown on the grading plan key does not match the line type used on the plan. These line types should be consistent. The notes included on the SWPPP appear to be standard notes for a residential development project that do not apply to this development. The developer's engineer should review and modify these notes as appropriate. . Summary and Recommendations Public Works staff recommends approval of the Final Plan of Allianz Life PUD 87A-2, subject to the following conditions. . 1) The developer must modify the plans to incorporate the modifications to the parking lots and driveways contained in this review. 2) The developer enters into a development agreement with the City to address the following public improvements as discussed in this review: a. The modifications to the bus stop south of Golden Hills Drive on Xenia Avenue; b. The extension of City water across the western portion of the site. 3) The developer posts a $100,000 cash escrow for future upgrading of Golden Hills Drive. 4) The developer dedicates a drainage and utility easement over the water main extension as discussed in this report. 5) Subject to the review and comments of the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission. G:\Developments-HRA\Golden Hills Central\Allianz Phase 2\PUD Review 030105.doc . . . 6) The Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan must be prepared to the standards of the City. The plan must be approved by the City prior to review by the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission. 7) Subject to the review and comments of the Building Official, City Attorney, Deputy Fire Marshal and other City staff.

INTRODUCTION This document serves as the Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for the proposed AllianzlLifeUSA headquarters building that will be located in the southwest quadrant of the Golden Hills Drive/Xenia A venue intersection in Golden Valley, MN. AllianzlLifeUSA is an established company with over 100 years of history as a Minnesota based company. They have been in their current location for over 50 years. To continue this heritage, they want to build a home that will be of high quality to enhance the community and attract employees looking for a quality work environment. The majority of their employees are salaried professionals, who have been with the company over five years. As salaried employees, they are not tied to an 8-hour work schedule. This allows the organization flexibility in work hours to facilitate the mitigation of traffic issues. Their corporate culture promotes building relationships with all of their "customers." This includes their agents, policyholders, vendors, and outside partners. This philosophy will carry through to their new building site in their relationships with all neighbors, residential and corporate, to create a community environment that works well for everyone. The proposed AllianzlLifeUSA headquarters will contain 600,000 square feet of office space. Construction is anticipated to proceed in two phases with full completion expected in 2007. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was completed for the development in the fall of 1999. The conclusions from the Technical Traffic Report prepared as an attachment to the EA W stated "it is expected that the implementation of traffic management plans through the 1-394 Overlay Zoning District Ordinance would increase the level of service expected." The Cities of Golden Valley and St. Louis Park adopted the 1-394 Overlay Zoning District Ordinance, which requires each dense development along the 1-394 corridor to prepare and execute a TMP. The purpose of this ordinance is to improve traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise pollution. Through the process of developing the EA W, City of Golden Valley officials, staff, and residents have expressed interest in limiting the traffic impacts of the AllianzlLifeUSA development. AllianzlLifeUSA views themselves as a member of the community and recognizes that being a responsible citizen is important. To that end, AllianzlLifeUSA is committed to implementing this TMP in cooperation with Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Metropolitan Council, Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnIDOT), and neighboring businesses. The following sections discuss AllianzlLifeUSA's prior transportation management experiences and identify the goals, programs, responsibilities, and implementation plan that comprise this TMP. Allianz/LifeUSA TMP . . . 2. PRIOR EXPERIENCES OF ALLIANZlLIFE USA WITH TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT MEASURES Allianz/LifeUSA has a solid track record of voluntarily implementing transportation management measures, and they will continue this tradition by implementing this TMP. Following are the programs they provide at their current locations: A flexible work hours program which has been in place since 1987. This program enables an employee to work a schedule which meets their personal needs as well as the corporate needs. Sell and subsidize public transportation passes for their.employees, paying 50% of the bus pass cost. Encourage car pooling by providing priority parking in their parking lots. Mapped employee population and travel patterns to help implement transportation management strategies. . Work with the community to address traffic or parking issues that arise. The Allianz/LifeUSA organization has a single contact person designated for ease of communications on transportation issues. Their current contact person regarding this TMP is: Ed Fitzpatrick, Second Vice President 612-847-6891 3. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES Goals The two principal goals for this Transportation Management Plan are: a) For Allianz/LifeUSA to limit the number of peak hour vehicle trips to and from their development. b) For Allianz/LifeUSA to participate with the City of Golden Valley and other public and private organizations to maintain effective accessibility to and from the nearby area in Golden Valley and St. Louis Park. In terms of the first goal of limiting peak hour vehicle trips, it is important to defme peak hour. For purposes of this Transportation Management Plan, both the a.m. and p.m. peak" hours are considered. The a.m. peak hour consists of the four consecutive 15 minute intervals during the period of 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. in which the highest volumes are recorded for trips to and from the AllianzlLifeUSA site. The p.m. peak hour consists of the four consecutive 15 minute intervals during the period of 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. in which the highest volumes are recorded for trips to and from the Allianz/LifeUSA site. 2 AllianzILifeUSA TMP . Obiectives and Performance Measures Based on the preceding goals, the following objectives and performance measures have been developed for this Transportation Management Plan. ~ 1. Upon full occupancy of the 400,000 sq. ft. phase 1 building, seek to achieve peak hour vehicle trip generation that does not exceed the projections from methodologies presented in the EA W - 563 trip ends during the a.m. peak hour and 528 trip ends during the p.m. peak hour. 2. Upon full occupancy of the 200,000 sq. ft. phase 2 building, seek to achieve peak hour vehicle trip generation for the entire development that does not exceed the projections in the EA W - 778 trip ends during the a.m. peak hour and 752 trip ends during the p.m. peak hour. . 3. AllianzlLifeUSA will work with the City of Golden Valley and other appropriate organizations to establish a Transportation Management Organization (TMO) involving business and property owners in the 1-394/Xenia Avenue interchange area. It is expected that the 1-394 Joint Task Force will be the principal sponsor for this TMO. AllianzlLifeUSA will actively participate in this TMO, but will not be the primary "owner." The TMO will work to seek effective transportation accessibility for the area in a manner that reflects positive coordination among the involved stakeholders. Typical guiding principles of a TMO are (based on the Minneapolis TMO's mission statement): Provide an information clearinghouse and a sales outlet for commuters. Teach commuters about alternatives to driving alone during the peak periods. Involve employers, developers, and building managers in making sound transportation decisions. Advise government agencies in creating solutions to transportation problems. Promote effective improvements and alternative transportation methods. . 4. According to the Metro Commuter Services division of the Metropolitan Council, a 10% reduction in the peak hour, single occupant vehicle trips can be achieved through a rigorous transportation management program. As part of the implementation process detailed below, a survey will be conducted to detail the existing commuting habits of the AllianzlLifeUSA employees after they move into the Golden Valley building. Given the extensive emphasis that AllianzlLifeUSA already places on measures to limit peak hour single occupant vehicle trips, it may not be appropriate for AllianzlLifeUSA to strive for the same 10% reduction that the Metro Commuter Services generally has established. One outcome of the survey referenced above is that AllianzlLifeUSA will establish a percentage objective for further reduction in peak hour, single occupant vehicle trips. A second survey will be conducted two years after the fIrst. A comparison of the two surveys will show if AllianzlLifeUSA has met their established percentage reduction goal. 3 Allianz/LifeUSA TMP . . . 5. Based on the commuter survey, goals will be developed for the increase of employees utilizing each of the components of the TMP. The combination of these goals will result in the overall percentage reduction established in item 4. 4. COMPONENTS OF TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ALLOCATION OF RESPONSmILITIES The following components have been developed through past experience and collaboration with several agencies. Metro Commuter Services, Metro Transit, and the Minneapolis TMO have all provided many resources, and continued contact with these organizations is recommended. 1. Promote car-pooling: · AllianzlLifeUSA will provide a minimum of 20 preferential parking spaces for registered car pools of two riders or more. AllianzlLifeUSA will utilize signs provided by Metro Commuter Services to designate these spaces. If demand exceeds supply, an appropriate number of preferential parking spaces will be added. · AllianzlLifeUSA will develop and implement strategies to connect employees who may be able to commute together. These may include: hosting annual commuter fairs, hosting zip code parties, providing potential car pool lists by area through assistance from Metro Commuter Services, utilizing e-mail, and providing a permanent bulletin board. 2. Promote van-pooling: · Research the viability of providing vanpools to area park & ride lots. · Research the viability of providing vanpools to downtown Minneapolis so transit users could conveniently access the bus route that will take them directly to their neighborhood. · Research the viability of providing vanpools for employees for travel between their homes and the new AllianzlLifeUSA office facility. 3. Promote transit use: · AllianzlLifeUSA will continue to sell public transportation passes directly to their employees. · AllianzlLifeUSA will continue to pay 50% of the cost of a bus pass for interested employees. 4 AllianzILifeUSA TMP . . . · Allianz/LifeUSA will investigate the viability of implementing the Metropass and Transitworks! Programs, both offered through Metro Transit, which offer transit cost savings to both the employee and employer. · AllianzlLifeUSA will work with the City of Golden Valley and Metro Transit to improve transit service to the site. · AllianzlLifeUSA will investigate constructing lit, heated bus shelters near the site. 4. Promote flexible work hour arrangements: · AllianzlLifeUSA will continue to actively promote "flexible work arrangements," which allow employees to arrive and leave outside the peak commuting hours with their supervisor's permission. This will include non-traditional workweeks such as a four-day workweek and part time work schedules. 5. Promote telecommuting: · AllianzlLifeUSA will address telecommuting on an ad hoc basis. 6. Explore a "Parking Cash Out" program: · This program puts cash in the pockets of those employees who choose not to use single occupant vehicles. The on-site parking ramp would be a paid parking facility. Allianz/LifeUSA would give its employees a parking subsidy, which would partially or completely cover the cost of parking in the ramp. By taking transit, carpooling, vanpooling, walking, or biking to work the employee would realize cost savings and put the extra cash in their pockets. One of the benefits of this approach is that it uses positive reinforcement instead of negative reinforcement. If this program is developed and a parking subsidy is given, it would work in conjunction with the existing transit subsidy program. 7. Employee surveys and plan reports: · Metro Commuter Services, a division of the Metropolitan Council, will conduct a survey that tracks the commuting habits of employees for private companies. AllianzlLifeUSA will coordinate with Metro Commuter Services to conduct this survey. · Based on the commuter survey, Metro Commuter Services will prepare a brief report that summarizes the results and suggests strategies that will decrease the number of single occupant vehicles that AllianzlLifeUSA generates during the peak hours. Based on the survey report, AllianzlLifeUSA will refine the strategies in the management plan to better implement measures that will reduce the peak hour trip generation. 5 AllianzlLifeUSA TMP . . . · To keep up with changing trends, a survey of this nature and refinements to the transportation management plan should be performed every two years. This plan will be revised biannually based on the surveys and submitted to the City of Golden Valley. This program will be in effect until Allianz/LifeUSA, the City, and the TMO agree it is not needed. 8. Advertising and communications: · Allianz/LifeUSA will request the assistance of Metro Commuter Services to provide materials and assistance. Allianz/LifeUSA will develop a packet that describes all of the transportation options and incentives available, with help from Metro Commuter Services. This packet will be distributed to all existing and new employees. It will also be available at kiosks in the office building. · Allianz/LifeUSA will continue to have an appointed staff member as the primary contact for the City of Golden Valley and the neighborhood regarding transportation issues. 9. Transportation Management Organization (TMO): · Allianz/LifeUSA will work in conjunction with the City of Golden Valley, nearby property owners, nearby businesses, and other appropriate agencies to establish a TMO that will help implement and further develop the strategies included in this TMP. This will have many benefits, including improving the effectiveness of carpooling efforts by increasing the ridematching possibilities. · Allianz/LifeUSA will pay a traffic management administrative fee of $.10 per square foot of gross floor area in accordance with City of Golden Valley Ordinances. This fee amounts to $60,000 for this site after both phases of construction are complete. This $60,000, minus the minor amount the 1-394 Overlay Zoning District Joint Task Force is allowed to use for expenses, will be pooled with the fees collected from the other developments under the jurisdiction of this ordinance to develop and support the TMO. 10. Encourage area improvements: · AllianzlLifeUSA will support efforts of Golden Valley and St. Louis Park to encourage Mn/DOT to improve the operations of the 1-394/Xenia Avenue interchange by periodically updating the signal timing and ramp metering rates to effectively accommodate trips entering 1-394 at this interchange. · Allianz/LifeUSA, in conjunction with the TMO, Golden Valley, and St. Louis Park, will support considerations for the addition of High Occupancy Vehicle 6 Allianz/LifeUSA TMP . . . (HOV) bypass lanes on the 1-394/Xenia Avenue ramps. This would improve the attractiveness of carpooling and vanpooling. 11. Promote bicycle use: · AllianzlLifeUSA will provide shower and locker room facilities on site. · AllianzlLifeUSA will provide a minimum of four covered and convenient bike parking facilities on si(e. If demand exceeds supply, an appropriate number of . parking facilities will be added. 5. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM FOR TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN Overall Steps 1. AllianzlLifeUSA currently provides several transportation programs. Allianz/LifeUSA will continue to provide these transportation programs through the transition to the Golden Valley location. 2. Before AllianzlLifeUSA occupies the Golden Valley location, they will work in conjunction with the City of Golden Valley, nearby property owners, nearby businesses, and other appropriate agencies to establish a TMO. 3. Before AllianzlLifeUSA occupies the Golden Valley location, they will develop traffic management programs to implement immediately upon occupancy. 4. After the first phase is 70% occupied or approximately four months after initial occupancy, whichever is later, AllianzlLifeUSA and the TMO will cooperate to conduct a commuter survey as previously described. Based on the results of the survey, the goals should be refined as previously discussed, and the full transportation management plan should be implemented. 5. AllianzlLifeUSA and the TMO will cooperate to conduct a commuter survey every two years until a point in time when AllianzlLifeUSA and the TMOagree it is not needed. Based on the survey results, the goals and strategies will be modified appropriately. The TMO will continue to operate after the biannual surveys are deemed unnecessary, to provide continuing follow-through regarding transportation accessibility needs in the area. Actions to Limit Peak Hour Vehicle Trips Generated by AllianzlLifeUSA Development One of the two goals expressed at the beginning of this Transportation Management Plan is to limit the number of peak hour vehicle trips to and from the AllianzlLifeUSA 7 AllianzILifeUSA TMP . . . development. This goal was further quantified in the objectives to refer to the trip generation projections for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours that were established in the EA W for the AllianzlLifeUSA project. Through discussions with City staff, a decision was made to establish the following two threshold levels for purpose of monitoring the trip generation for the development and taking appropriate actions: a) "Alert" level. This is a condition in which the trip generation for the AllianzlLifeUSA site during the a.m. and/or p.m. peak hours is approaching the not to exceed limits. This condition prompts vigorous follow-up by AllianzlLife USA, with support from the City of Golden Valley, to reduce peak hour vehicle trips generated by the development. For the purpose of this Transportation Management Plan, this "alert" level consists of the following trip generation values: · For the 400,000 sq. ft. phase 1 building, the total trip generation projections from methodologies presented in the EA W - 563 trip ends during the a.m. peak hour and 528 trip ends during the p.m. peak hour. . For the full 600,000 sq.ft. development, 90% of the total trip generation projections presented in the EA W - 700 trip ends during the a.m. peak hour and 677 trip ends during the p.m. peak hour. b) "Not to Exceed" level. This is a condition in which the trip generation for the AllianzlLifeUSA development during the a.m. and/or p.m. peak hours is at the maximum allowed by this Transportation Manjlgement Plan. This situation triggers the need for AllianzlLifeUSA to take strong mitigative measures and achieve satisfactory results. If satisfactory results are not accomplished, this situation would constitute a violation of the City's Zoning Ordinance and would permit the City to take.appropriate enforcement measures defined under its Zoning Ordinance. The foundation for addressing the needs to limit trips generated by the AllianzJLifeUSA development is a monitoring program to count the number of trips entering and exiting the development. On an annual basis commencing within 12 months of initial occupancy, AllianzlLifeUSA commits to conducting a count of all vehicles entering and exiting the development by 15 minute period for a full week. AllianzlLifeUSA will provide the count data to City staff, along with other information to ensure City staff that the week counted represented normal business and employee tripmaking conditions. This monitoring and reporting program shall continue every year until at least two years after full occupancy of the phase 2 building and until Allianz and the City mutually agree that the program can be terminated. Each annual weekly set of trip generation counts will be utilized as described next. If all the hourly peak hour volumes are below the alert levels, no further action is needed. If the peak hour volume for either an a.m. peak hour and/or a p.m. peak hour exceeds the alert level or not to exceed level for at least one day, AllianzlLifeUSA conducts another identical set of weekly trip generation counts during a typical week four to six weeks after the first set of counts. AllianzlLifeUSA and City staff then would review the two 8 AlIianzlLifeUSA TMP . sets of counts to determine the trip generation patterns that are being experienced, i.e. to determine whether the volumes typically are below the alert level, are higher than the alert level but below the not to exceed level, or are higher than the not to exceed level. If the determination from the preceding review of the two sets of weekly counts is that the peak. hour trip generation volumes generally are below the alert level, no further action would be needed. If the determination is that the peak. hour volumes exceed the alert level, but are below the not to exceed level, the following two steps would be accomplished: 1) AllianzlLifeUSA and City staff would meet to discuss the situation and candidate mitigative measures. 2) AllianzlLifeUSA, with support from the City, would implement measures to reduce the peak. hour vehicle trips generated by the development such that they would be below the alert levels. If the determination from the review of the two sets of weekly counts is that the peak. hour trip generation volumes generally exceed the maximum not to exceed levels, the following steps would be accomplished: . 1) AllianzlLifeUSA and City staff meet to discuss the situation and candidate mitigative measures. 2) AllianzlLifeUSA responds to the City with a draft recommended action plan. This plan first would address the potential to reduce peak. hour vehicle trips generated by the development. If such an option were not fully sufficient, the plan may address funding assistance to increase vehicle capacity at particularly congested locations, and/or leadership to reduce peak hour vehicle trips generated by other properties in the area. 3) AllianzlLifeUSA and City staff agree on an action plan and.appropriate steps to monitor success of the plan. AllianzlLifeUSA, with support from the City, implements the action plan. 4) Accomplishments of the action plan are monitored according to the procedures established in the preceding step. 5) If the monitoring from step 4) demonstrates satisfactory outcomes as defined in step 2), no further action is needed. If the monitoring from step 4), shows continued violations, AllianzlLifeUSA and City staff would need further discussions regarding next steps, including whether the City would implement enforcement measures allowed under its Zoning Ordinance. . 9 AllianzILifeUSA TMP . . . ~ ~ " ~ ! t E j ~~~ 1~?15 a~1! ....3<1:1 III ~t~~ l! -.:H...-f,. ~&&.:l<<: 2 J .

The memos from City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, to Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes, dated March 28, 2000 and May 6, 2004, and the recommendations contained therein, shall become a part of this permit. 2. The construction of the Allianz Life development is subject to a Tree Preservation Plan and a Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. City staff, prior to the issuance of building permits, must approve these plans. 3. Allianz Life will construct and maintain a bus shelter on the property or in the right- of-way along Xenia Avenue as required by the City and Metro Transit. 4. When it is determined by the City or the State of Minnesota that the construction of a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) ramp access lane to westbound 1-394 is feasible and practicable, Allianz Life agrees to dedicate the necessary property needed for its construction. 5. The attached Traffic Management Plan is a part of this PUD Permit. In addition, Allianz Life is subject to all requirements found in Section 11.56 (1-394 Zoning District Ordinance) which provides in part as follows: For all parcels located within Zone A each time (a) the traffic generated for one hour during the p.m. peak hour three days out of five consecutive business days exceeds Level of Service E at more than half of the intersections within the Xenia/Park Place interchange (effective after the interchange is substantially completed and operational), or (b) once the reserve capacity . Allianz Life USA Addition P.U.D. No. 87 - Amendment #1 allocated to the city for this interchange has been used, whichever is first, the owner shall implement an original or revised traffic management plan. The traffic management plan initially shall be prepared when the traffic generated for one hour during the p.m. peak hour three days out of five consecutive business days reaches Level of Service E at more than half of the intersections of the Xenia/Park Place interchange (effective after the interchange is substantially completed and operational). It shall be designed to reduce the traffic generated by or from the parcel by a percentage which, in conjunction with the other parcels in the zone, will accommodate Level of Service E at the p.m. peak hour (or keep it within the city's allocable portion of the reserve capacity, if that applies), given the p.m. peak hour trips assumed to be generated by the parcel based on the table attached to the ordinance as Exhibit 1 . The owner shall submit the traffic management plan to the Joint Task Force, which shall review and approve all traffic management plans before they may be implemented. . Each development containing more than .6 square feet of gross floor area per each square foot of land area within a lot or parcel within one of the three zones shall monitor the traffic generated by it, the locations and times to be determined by the Joint Task Force, and it shall supply such traffic volume figures to the Joint Task Force. Each planning department will publish those figures yearly. The Joint Task Force shall determine the acceptable methods of measuring traffic volumes, the acceptability of persons or firms undertaking it and all other reasonable requirements in connection therewith. Each developer or owner of a parcel who leases part of the parcel, or part of a building thereon, to one or more tenants shall include the following in each lease: . The Cities of Golden Valley and St. Louis Park have established an 1-394 Traffic Zoning Ordinance. It will require traffic management plans for traffic generated by this and certain adjacent developments when certain conditions occur. Under such conditions it will restrict traffic generated by these developments. The plan is intended to promote improved traffic circulation and reduce pollution and congestion, particularly during peak times, for all users of city streets. The traffic management plans prepared by the owners may require the use of rideshare incentive programs, public transit incentives, bicycle and pedestrian incentive measures, variable work hours or flex- time programs under which employees are required to stagger their work hours, measures to reduce reliance on single occupying vehicles, shared parking and the like. A copy ofthe complete ordinance may be obtained by calling the city offices of Golden Valley or St. Louis Park. Page 3 . . . Allianz Life USA Addition P.U.D. No. 87 - Amendment #1 Page 4 6. Allianz Ufe has agreed to implement the Traffic Management Plan prior to any requirement of the 1-394 Zoning District Ordinance (Section 11.56 of the Zoning Code). Because Allianz Life will implement the Traffic Management Plan voluntarily, before it is imposed by Ordinance, Allianz Life will be given credit to the extent they have previously reduced traffic in the AM and PM peak hours when the Ordinance is imposed. 7. The uses on the site shall meet all applicable City, State and Federal standards. D. Subdivision 1. The final plat shall include "P.U.D. No. 87" in its title. 2.
