As we discussed, Allins is very interested In moving <br />forward to develop a multl.specialty med iCCl I clinic in your community. The difficulty we have had, <br />as you know, Is finding a suitable 3.5 acre site which can be purchased and built on immediately. <br />After touring the site which the City of Elk River purchased on Hwy. 10 (future liquor store <br />location), Allina is very interested in negotiating the purchase of your site as well as the two <br />adjacent parcels. I realize this causes a relocation issue for the future liquor store, but the site <br />seems to work very well for Allina's use. In addition to our purchase request, I have provided <br />information about the clinic for your review below. <br /> <br />Based upon the program which has been developed, Allina currently envisions the property being <br />developed in two phases, The first phase of the building will be approximately 25,000 sq. ft. in <br />size. At full capacity. there will be 15 physicians and 60 support staff. Typical hours of operation <br />for the clinic will be 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday - Friday and 8:00am to 5:00pm, Saturday. In <br />addition. AJlina will most likely add urgent care (after hours medical care) to this site which would <br />extend the hours of operation until10pm on weekdays and from 8:00am to 10:00pm on both <br />Saturday and Sunday. The exterior of the Building will be professionally designed and tastefully <br />done, Exterior materials will include predominantly brick and glass, The interior of the Building <br />will be designed and appointed as .Class A" medical clinic space. Based upon Allina's current <br />timeline, the first phase of the medical development will be ready for occupancy by June 2000. <br />The types of medical services that will most likely be Included in Phase J are: primary care (family <br />practice, internal medicine & OB/GYN), specialty physiCian consultations such as cardiology and <br />optical shop. <br /> <br />Phase II would add a similar or slightly smaller amount of space to the Building bringing the total <br />development to between 45,000 and 50,000 sq. ft. of medical space. Approximately 25 <br />physicians and 135 tolal support staff would be planned for a facility of this size. It is estimated <br />that there would be approximately 85,000 to 95,000 patient visits to the clinic each year at full <br />capacity. The medical services that would be offered in the expanded facility would most likely <br />include: additional specialty physician services. diagnostic center and a surgery center with 2 to 4 <br />out-patient operating rooms. <br /> <br />Please let me know what other information I can provide to you at this time. I appreciate all of <br />your help with this matter, <br /> <br />.,'dl:'\' 'li'II'I", Suil'" 1'11(1 <br />~21 Mal<llIl'l!" ^\"'l1l1~' <br /> <br />?~Jed <br /> <br />MiIlIlL'i1I,,,lis, Minl'lL',,'l;l ,'",1 (1! <br /> <br />cc: Thomas McKee <br /> <br />I"'; (.)1:;-11."1.'1:' <br /> <br />It/X: (,/7J'1JYJl\) <br />
