VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD—Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file.
VI.A. PROPOSED NEW BIKING AND WALKING PATH AT LAKE EDINA PARK, 4400 PARKLAWN AVENUE-
APPROVED
Park and Recreation Director Kattreh
Park and Recreation Director Kattreh stated that the proposed Lake Edina Park Path would connect
Parklawn Avenue to Kellogg Avenue and provide a safe route to Cornelia School for students living in the
Parklawn neighborhood and a transportation route to connect neighborhood residents to the Centennial
Lakes and Southdale areas. In 2012, the Family Resource Center and do.town hosted events and collected
60 signatures in support of the trail. The CIP budget included $85,000 in funding for the trail. Preliminary
estimates determined that the cost of the project would be approximately$55,000.
Ms. Kattreh answered questions of the Council relating to concerns about golf balls from Fred Richards
Golf Course being hit into this area, the construction timeline, and public notification. She indicated that
changes were made to the golf course, which had significantly reduced the number of golf balls being hit
into the playground. The City's insurance company had approved the City to proceed with the project. If
approved at the May Watershed District meeting, construction would likely begin the end of May or
beginning of June.
There was discussion on the Nine Mile Creek Trail maps and the potential for a change in use at Fred
Richards Golf Course in the future. It was noted that there were opposing recommendations from City
commissions on the proposed path. The Park Board members were generally not in favor of the path at
this point in time, while the Transportation Commission voted to support construction of the pathway this
year.
Police Chief Long answered questions of the Council relating to crime patrol in parks.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing.

important link for the bike and pedestrian pathways network in the City and providing a safe route to
school.

FOOT ABOVE EXISTING FLOOR ELEVATION, 4924 EAST SUNNYSLOPE ROAD, EDINA, KIRK& AMY
AADALEN,RESOLUTION NO.2013-42-APPROVED
Community Development Director Presentation
Community Development Director Teague presented the request of the proponents for the property
located at 4924 East Sunnyslope Road. The proponents are proposing to tear down the existing house and
construct a new home at 4924 East Sunnyslope. A Conditional Use Permit and Variance was requested to
allow the first floor elevation of the new home to exceed the first floor elevation of the existing home by
more than one foot. The proponents are proposing to raise the first floor elevation 11.5 feet above the
existing first floor elevation; 10.5 feet above the allowable limit. The first floor of the existing home was at
928.5 feet with an allowed increase in height by code to 929.5 feet. The height of the first floor for the
new home would be at 940 feet.
Page 5
Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7,2013
Mr. Teague stated that the property was a through lot with frontage along Sunnyslope East and Hilltop
Lane. The new home would front Hilltop Lane with the back walk-out facing Sunnyslope. The orientation
of the home would be completely switched from the existing front yard along Sunnyslope to the new front
yard along Hilltop Lane. The reorientation of the home required that the first floor be elevated to a height
relating to the street level at Hilltop Lane. The topography sloped from a high point near Hilltop down to a
lower rear yard near Sunnyslope.
Proponent Presentation
Peter Eskuche, Eskuche Associates, provided information on the location and topography of the property.
He explained that repositioning the layout of the home to face Sunnyslope would optimize the views and
layout on the property.
Mr. Eskuche answered questions of the Council relating to the landscaping plan and infiltration.
Kirk Aadalen, proponent, informed the Council that and his wife Amy grew up in Edina and they were
looking forward to moving back to the area. They had tried to be proactive with the neighborhood and
intend for the new home to fit in and enhance the character of the Sunnyslope neighborhood.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing.

Member Swenson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2013-42, approving a Conditional
Use Permit&Variance to allow first floor elevation of more than one foot above existing floor elevation
at 4924 East Sunnyslope Road, based on the following findings:

850.04,Subd E.
2. The proposal meets all applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements.
3. The proposed new home is in character with this neighborhood.

Community Development Director Presentation
Mr. Teague presented the request of Spalon Montage to divide its property at 4936 France Avenue back
into two lots for the purpose of potentially selling the new lot in the future. No new building was
proposed at this time. The existing property and buildings would remain the same. This property was
originally platted as two lots. The proponent combined them a few years ago, but was now requesting to
divide them back per the original plat. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed preliminary plat.
The Council asked questions of Mr. Teague, City Attorney Knutson, and City Engineer Houle relating to the
encroachment agreement in place for the side of the building. This preliminary plat would not cause any
changes to the encroachment agreement;the agreement would still be in effect.

VIII.B. SKETCH PLAN, 7151 YORK AVENUE
Community Development Director Presentation
Mr. Teague presented the Sketch Plan for 7151 York Avenue. The proponent proposed to build a four-
story 76-unit assisted living complex attached to the Continental Gardens Senior Living apartments at 7151
York Avenue. The proposal was to create a senior campus: and build the addition to the east side of the
building. The building would be four stories tall and would be connected by an elevated skyway to the
existing twelve-story 264 apartment building. The existing site was 5.85 acres in size; therefore, the
density was 45 units per acre. With the proposed addition of 76 units, the density would increase to 58
Page 7
Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7,2013
units per acre. The property was zoned Planned Senior Residential District — 4, PSR-4 and guided High
Density Residential. The units are described by the proponent as"moderately priced."
There was discussion on the cap for High Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan, of 30 units per
acre, noting that assisted living units would have less demand than other high density uses for
transportation and parking while having the same demand for in-ground utilities. It was noted that EMT
service was well positioned for this area, and police service for this type of development would be in low
demand.
Mr. Houle provided the Council with information on sewer and water capacity in relation to the
Metropolitan Council. He advised that the Comprehensive Plan projected 20 to 30 years into the future,
was approved by the Metropolitan Council, and included a high-density land use in the Greater Southdale
Area, as well as housing in commercial areas of the City. Those numbers were taken into account by the
Metropolitan Council in determining the size of the relief sewer that was built through Richfield.
Proponent Presentation
Terri Cermak, Cermak, Rhoades Architects, answered questions of the Council relating to affordability,
anticipated number of staff, layout and amenities, and transit connections.
Comments from the Council for future discussions on the plan were: the importance of the percentage of
County Elderly Waiver Units that would be guaranteed, revising the plan from a second-story skyway to a
first-floor connection, creating a circle on the south end of the site as opposed to widening the space
between the buildings, including a sidewalk extension to the street, the importance of "pedestrian
friendly," and completion of a market study with penetration rates.
Staff was directed to provide the Council with additional information on the density cap relating to senior
plans in PSR Districts, including why the cap was set and how this project related to the cap.

X. MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMENTS—Received
There was discussion on Safe Routes to School relating to Concord School. Students that live across the
street on School Road were now being required to take the bus to school due to there not being a sidewalk
in place to access the school. It was noted that pedestrian focused improvements have been completed at
other schools in the City. Two options that had been presented to the Council in the May 2012 Franchise
Fee Feasibility Study were: A) assessment split of 25/25/50 between the City/School District/Residents for
sidewalk construction from Concord School to Normandale Road; and, B) assessment split of 50/50
between the City/School District for sidewalk construction from Ruth Drive to Concord School. It was
noted that the residents would not be assessed for the proposed sidewalk project in accordance with the
current policy. Moved by Member Brindle, seconded by Member Sprague, approving that Option A
(sidewalk construction from Concord School to Normandale Road) of the May 2012 Franchise Fee
Feasibility Study be updated and presented to the Council for consideration.
