VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD — Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. VI.A. LAND EXCHANGE (LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT) 6629 WEST SHORE DRIVE, LIZ AND TONY BURGER — DIRECTION PROVIDED TO PROPONENT Community Development Director Presentation Community Development Director Teague presented a request from Liz and Tony Burger for a proposed land exchange (lot line adjustment) between the City of Edina and the Burgers. In 2008, the Burgers received a variance to build the same addition that they were hoping to complete now, but the variance had expired. The home was non -conforming and with the current property line, the owners had no way of moving forward without a variance or land exchange. Mr. Teague presented a map of the area and a drawing of the proposed land exchange. Proponent Presentation Tony Burger, 6629 West Shore Drive, explained there were four possible options including land exchange, land purchase, variance, or not allowing the addition. Mr. Burger stated that he was okay with any of the first three, but was nervous about applying for the variance because several member of the Planning Commission had stated reluctance about granting a variance. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Public Testimony • Edward Hayward, 6625 West Shore Drive, addressed the Council. Ralph Zickert, 431 1 Cornelia Circle, addressed the Council. Page 2 Minutes/Edina City Council/August 18, 2015 Bradley Hunt, 6636 West Shore Drive, addressed the Council. Rosemary Utne, 4529 Laguna Drive, addressed the Council. is Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Stewart, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Staunton, Stewart, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. The Council discussed the different options that would allow the property owners to build the addition. The alternate land exchange suggested by Mr. Zickert presented a problem because a variance would still be required for the porch. Attorney Knutson answered a question of the Council relating to the variance as an impediment to future buyer. He explained that while it would depend on the buyer, the variance would be permanent. The Council encouraged the Burgers to apply to the Planning Commission for a variance, keep the plans within the footprint of the property, and noted they could come to public land for grading. The Council also noted that the private facilities would need to be removed from public land. VI.B. APPEAL DECISION OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENYING WALL SIGN VARIANCE, 7301 OHMS LANE, SUNOPTA — RESOLUTION NO. 2015-82 — REFERRED TO STAFF FOR CONSIDERATION ON SEPTEMBER I. 2015 Senior Planner Presentation Senior Planner Repya presented the request from SunOpta to appeal the decision of the Planning Commission denying the request for a Variance to allow a wall sign that did not have frontage on a public street. SunOpta was requesting a variance to allow the installation of a 58.75 square foot wall sign on the top floor of the East elevation on its building at 7301 Ohms Lane. The property had one street frontage on Ohms Lane. Edina's Sign Code #36-1715 provided for one wall sign and one monument sign per street frontage in the Planned Office District. Staff recommended upholding the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the variance. Ms. Repya answered questions of the Council relating to the Ordinance being applied, interpreting the language of the Ordinance, and the size of the signs. Proponent Presentation Dan Turney, SunOpta, described SunOpta as a natural organic food company that had been in the building for three years and gone through five expansions so far. The company was requesting the wall sign on the East elevation instead of the allowed West elevation for identification and advertisement purposes on the more travelled Highway side of the building. Mr. Turney answered questions of the Council relating to the floors of the building that it operated, type of business activities at the location, and types of visitors. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. Public Testimony Brandon Otting, 7301 Ohms Lane, property owner, addressed the Council. Jim Grotz, 5513 Park Place, addressed the Council. Member Stewart made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Staunton, Stewart, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Page 3 Minutes/Edina City Council/August 18, 2015 The Council discussed granting the variance and revisiting the Ordinance. Member Stewart made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, directing staff to prepare findings granting a soVariance allowing signage on the East elevation of the building, to bring Resolution No. 2015- 82 to the September 1, 2015, City Council meeting, and to revisit the Sign Ordinance. Ayes: Staunton, Stewart, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VII. COMMUNITY COMMENT Jim Grotz, 5513 Park Place, presented an article in MinnPost that stated the Federal Aviation Administration had suspended arrivals on one of Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport's runways. He expressed dismay that the Metropolitans Airport Commission had failed to mention this during its presentation at the August 5, 2015, City Council meeting. Member Swenson confirmed that Runway 35 had been closed for arrivals and noted that it was unknown how it would affect the long-term plan. Manager Neal explained that the presentation from the Metropolitan Airport Commission was a set presentation that had been shown to other cities and staff. He also noted that the Federal Aviation Administration had characterized the decision as temporary. Vlll. REPORTS / RECOMMENDATIONS VIII.A. PROPOSED FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH XCEL ENERGY, ORDINANCE NO. 2015-12 AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING — TABLED INDEFINITELY This item was tabled indefinitely. VIII.B. BOARD AND COMMISSION BYLAW CHANGES — APPROVED Manager Neal presented the request to approve recommended changes to Edina's Advisory Board and Commission's bylaws. There were two notable changes, besides minor edits and clarifications that included holding annual meetings in February for all Boards and Commissions and added language to clarify the Council's ability to make changes to bylaws. The Council suggested revisiting term limits and the rule limiting the number of years as a Chair. Member Stewart made a motion, seconded by Member Staunton, approving the recommended changes to Edina's Advisory Board and Commission's bylaws. Ayes: Staunton, Stewart, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.C. PROPOSED PICKLEBALL COURT DONATION, ROSLAND PARK — APPROVED Parks and Recreation Director Kattreh shared that the Edina resident Bruce Mooty family had approached the City to potentially donate funds to construct pickleball courts adjacent to the tennis court at Rosland Park. Funds for the court would be coming from the John Mooty Family Trust and the Melvin R Mooty & Sally R. Mooty Family Foundation. The donation would be to honor John and Melvin Mooty through the Edina Community Foundation. Ms. Kattreh described the sport of pickleball and presented a site diagram, possible amenities, project timeline, and cost estimate. The Council asked a question relating to the number and type of trees to be removed and thanked the Mooty family for its generosity. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Stewart, approving the concept of adding pickleball courts and related amenities at Rosland Park utilizing donor funding. Ayes: Staunton, Stewart, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.D. SKETCH PLAN, WALGREEN'S 4916 FRANCE AVENUE — REVIEWED Community Development Director Presentation Mr. Teague explained that the Council was being asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to redevelop the .64 acre parcel at 4916 France Avenue and 3918 49-1/2 Street West. Three Comprehensive Plan amendments would be needed including building height from four stories to five stories, housing density Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/August 18, 2015 from 30 units per acre to 100 units per acre, and floor area ratio from 1.5 to 3.3. The area had been described as potential area of change, but a small area plan had not been completed or budgeted for. iProponent Presentation Gretchen Camp and Scott Ellison, BKV Group, explained that the current buildings would be demolished and a new building would be built in their place. Ms. Camp presented aerial views of each floor and side views of the proposed building. Mr. Ellison described the building materials being considered, which consisted mainly of brick and glass with an alternate material for the upper housing levels. They discussed parking, driveways, and total number and type of units. The Council discussed the sketch plan proposal including building height, density, building materials, types of housing units, and affordable housing. Ms. Camp answered a question of the Council relating to the number of studio and I -bedroom units explaining that the smaller units provided natural affordability. The Council supported the use of brick and stepped back design, but cautioned against too much of another material. It was undecided on whether or not it was ready to support five stories in that area. The Council agreed that it would more than likely approve higher than 30 units per acre for density, but that 100 units per acre was excessive. The Council also encouraged the developers to present a state-of- the-art and high-quality design including a welcoming and vibrant ground floor and noted that affordable housing would likely be a future requirement for a Planned Unit Development. The Council answered a question of Mr. Teague indicating that it might be inclined to separate the 50th and France area from Grandview and Southdale in dealing with density. VIII.E. RESOLUTION NO. 2015-83 ADOPTED — ACCEPTING VARIOUS GRANTS AND DONATIONS Mayor Hovland explained that in order to comply with State Statutes; all donations to the City must be adopted by Resolution and approved by four favorable votes of the Council accepting the donations.

D The Recommended Bid is ❑ Within Budget ❑X Not Within Budget Bid or Expiration Date: N/A Amount of Quote or Bid: $48,724.31 $36,211.39 General Information: Edina Liquor has been using the same POS system (ARSS) since 1993 and in that time we have updated the software 3 times to stay current with the times all the while still maintaining the same operating platform. This system has served us well until the last few years due to the large amount of data that is stored in the data base for our three stores. The POS system has slowed considerably and some of the functions that were useful previously are now outdated and slow. This system is also lacking in its compliance to be PCI certified. Edina Liquor would like to recommend that council approve the purchase of a new POS system by RITE (Retail Information Technology Enterprises). This system meets all of the needs for our liquor stores now and into the future given that it is based on a Microsoft Operating System. It will allow for better inventory control between our three stores and at each store individually, it will allow us to be more creative in how we are able to run product promotions, it will allow us to develop a loyalty rewards program for our customers to track purchases and alert customers to limited items when we get them. We will have better analytics to project purchasing and track sales trends within our three stores. It also has employee time card software built in allowing us to better track employee hours and also we will be able export employee hours to payroll. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 REQUEST FOR PURCHASE IN EXCESS OF $20,000/CHANGE ORDER Page 2 RITE has become one of the top local POS vendors over the past 5 years and has converted a number of • municipal liquor operations that were using ARSS over the past few. Municipal stores that have switched to RITE in the past few years are; Spring Lake Park, Columbia Heights, Hutchinson and in the past few months Apple Valley and Richfield. Edina Liquor feels confident that RITE is the right vendor due to their years of experience in this market and that they have worked with many multiple store applications and have been very successful in converting our current system to the RITE POS system. RITE is also very knowledgeable in PCI compliance and they have the latest software and hardware to make sure we meet all of our PCI compliance needs. With new software comes the need to update old hardware that we have been using. Some of the current hardware is over ten years old if not more and while it still works on our current system some of it may not work on the new system. This old hardware will need to be replaced and this hardware will be less expensive using our IT department and state contracts vs using RITE. The only hardware included in the quote is for credit card terminals which we are not able to purchase on our own. Additional Hardware to complete project: Cash Drawers- 5@ $150 = $750 Receipt Printers- 8 @ $350 = $2,800 Touch Screen Monitors — 8 @ $550 = $4,400 Display Pole Monitors — 8 @ $300 = $2,400 Tablets/ Inventory — 6 @ $300 = $1,800 • POS (register computers) — 8 @ $750 = $6,000 Total Hardware $18,150 • Total Software and Hardware = $66,874 This project has a budget of $60,000 and it would be right on track if not for replacing all of the register computers as recommended by IT.

Action M Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Subject: Resolution Approving a Wall Sign variance at 7301 Ohms Lane by SunOpta, Resolution No. 2015-82. Action Requested: Adopt the attached Resolution. Information / Background: As recommended by the City Council, attached is a resolution approving a request for a Wall Sign at 7301 Ohms Lane. ATTACHMENTS: • Resolution No. 2015-82 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 v u„ RESOLUTION NO. 2015-82 RESOLUTION APPROVING A WALL SIGN VARIANCE ON THE EAST ELEVATION AT 7301 OHMS LANE FOR SUNOPTA BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1. BACKGROUND. 1.01 SunOpta ("Applicant") at 7301 Ohms Lane is requesting a variance to allow a wall sign to be erected on the east face of the building that does not have street frontage. 1.02 The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the installation of a 58.75 square foot wall sign on the top floor (6th story) of the east elevation of their building at 7301 Ohms Lane. The subject property has one street frontage on Ohms Lane; the east elevation abuts the office building at 7300 Metro Boulevard. Sun Opta is a tenant within this office building. 1.03 Edina's sign code # 36 -1715 provides for one wall sign and one monument sign per street • frontage in the POD Planned Office District. For buildings five stories in height or greater, the total sign area of the two signs may not exceed 120 square feet total, with no individual sign being greater than 80 square feet in area. 1.04 Currently there is one monument sign on the west elevation facing Ohms Lane measuring 56 square feet, advertising One Corporate Center with tenant identification. The code would allow for a wall sign measuring up to 64 square feet to be added to the west elevation. 1.05 On July 8, 2015, the Planning Commission denied the variance. Vote: 5 Ayes and 2 Nays. 1.06 On August 18, 2015, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed variance. Section 2. FINDINGS. 2.01 The proposed sign does not meet ordinance standards for a wall sign in the proposed location. 2.02 The variance standards have been met: 1. The proposed variance is reasonable given the site's proximity to Highway 100; the size of the sign is minimal, and it does not exceed the maximum the total sign area allowed for the building. • 2. The proposed sign would not set an undesirable precedence for buildings in the neighborhood. Other similar buildings in the area that face Highway 100 have frontage on a street, and are therefore ftllo-vve4 Q4a:n A -P ITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street • Edina, Minnesota 55424 www.EdinaMN.gov • 952-927-8861 • Fax 952-826-0389 RESOLUTION NO. 2015-82 Page 2 3. The positioning of the building with the east elevation visible from Highway 100, but lacking street frontage creates a practical difficulty in complying with the zoning ordinance standards. Section 3. APPROVAL NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, approves the variance to allow a wall sign to be erected on the east face of the building that does not have street frontage subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed variance for a 58.75 square foot wall sign to be installed on the east elevation of the building is approved. 2.

From: Jennifer Bennerotte, Communications & Technology Services Director Action ❑ Discussion ❑ Date: Sept. 1, 2015 Information ❑x Subject: 2015 Quality of Life Survey Action Requested: None. Information / Background: Staff has been directed to complete a Quality of Life, or public opinion, survey every two years to measure residents' satisfaction with City services and facilities and to gauge interest on various topics. The 2015 Quality of Life Survey provided residents the opportunity to rate the quality of life in the City of Edina, as well as the quality of service delivery and overall workings of local government. The survey also permitted residents to share their priorities for community planning and resource allocation. Surveys were mailed to 1,500 randomly selected resident households in May and June, 2015. A total of 512 surveys were completed, yielding a response rate of 35 percent. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points around any given percentage point reported for the entire sample (5 12 completed surveys). Survey results were weighted so that respondent gender, age, race, ethnicity, housing unit type (attached or detached) and housing tenure (rent or own) were represented in proportions reflective of the entire city. Because Edina has administered quality of life surveys before, some comparisons could be made between 2015 responses and those from 2013 and 2011. Edina also elected to have its results compared to those of other jurisdictions around the nation and those in Minnesota, comparisons made possible through a national benchmark database created and maintained by National Research Center, Inc. (NRC). NRC's database contains resident perspectives gathered in citizen surveys from over 500 communities across the United States. The draft report of findings is attached. Damema Mann from NRC will be present to share key findings and answer any questions the Council may have.

provided residents the opportunity to rate the quality of life in the City of Edina, as well as the quality of service delivery and overall workings of local government. The survey also permitted residents to share their priorities for community planning and resource allocation. Surveys were mailed to 1,500 randomly selected resident households in May and June, 2015. A total of 512 surveys were completed, yielding a response rate of 35%. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points around any given percentage point reported for the entire sample (512 completed surveys). Survey results were weighted so that respondent gender, age, race, ethnicity, housing unit type (attached or detached) and housing tenure (rent or own) were represented in proportions reflective of the entire city. Because Edina has administered quality of life surveys before, some comparisons could be made between 2015 responses and those from 2013 and 2011. Edina also elected to have its results compared to those of other jurisdictions around the nation and those in Minnesota, comparisons made possible through a national benchmark database created and maintained by National Research Center, Inc. (NRC). This database contains resident perspectives gathered in citizen surveys from over 500 communities across the United States. Key findings • Edina residents enjoy a high quality of life in 2015, as in previous years. ► In 2015, nearly all residents awarded "excellent" or "good" ratings to the quality of life in Edina; no respondents felt that the quality of life was "poor." When compared over time, ratings remained stable. Edina residents' opinions were compared to those of residents in other communities across the nation and those in Minnesota. Edina's rating for overall quality of life was higher when compared to communities in both sets of comparisons. About 9 in 10 residents planned to remain in Edina for the next five years and would recommend living in Edina to someone who asks. Compared to communities across the nation as well as in Minnesota, ratings for remaining in Edina and recommending living in Edina were similar. Residents give favorable ratings to the overall ease of travel in Edina, but improvem ents could be made to improve walking and biking in the community. About 9 in 10 residents awarded "excellent" or "good' ratings to the overall ease of getting to the places they usually have to visit; only one percent of respondents felt that the overall ease of travel was `poor" When compared over time, ratings remained stable. This rating was higher when compared to communities across the country and similar when compared to other communities in Minnesota. Ease of travel by car was rated positively by about 8 in 10 residents while ease of travel by public transportation was rated positively by 4 in 10 residents. ► When rating the ease of travel by walking and by bicycle in Edina, about 6 in 10 residents gave favorable ratings to the ease of walking in Edina while just under half of residents gave positive ratings to the ease of travel by bicycle. These ratings decreased in 2015 compared to 2013. When compared to communities across the nation, ease of walking and travel by bicycle were both rated as similar. When compared to other Minnesota communities, ease of walking was rated similar while ease of travel by bicycle was • rated lower in Edina. The Citv of Edina 2015 Oualitv of Life Surve July 2015 40 / At least 6 in 10 residents indicated they would be more likely to walk or bike in the community if there were more sidewalks along streets or well -marked greenways and off-road paths. ► The availability of paths and walking trails in Edina received an "excellent" or "good" rating from about 6 in 10 residents. This rating was similar to the national comparison but lower than the Minnesota comparison. Affordable housing and cost of living are important issues in the community. ► Residents were given a list of 18 community characteristics and asked to rate the quality of each. The two lowest rated items with less than half of residents giving a positive rating were cost of living (46% "excellent" or "good") and the availability of affordable quality housing (36%). When compared to communities across the nation, both were rated similar. When compared to other Minnesota communities, cost of living was rated similar while the availability of affordable quality housing was rated lower in Edina. / When given a list of eight potential reasons for choosing to live in Edina, residents were least likely to select affordable housing with only 15% selecting this as a reason for living in the community. ► Residents were asked to write in what they felt was the most'serious issue facing Edina. About one- quarter wrote in comments related to affordable housing and housing teardowns. ► Residents who felt things in Edina were on the wrong track were given the opportunity to write in a reason for why they felt this way. Affordable housing and cost of living were among the themes in the written comments with about 1 in 10 commenting about these issues. Survey respondents continue to think highly of the quality of services in Edina, but most do not support a property, tax increase to maintain services at their current levels. ► Residents gave exceptionally high marks to the overall quality of City services, with about 9 in 10 awarding "excellent" or "good" ratings; only three percent of respondents felt that the quality of City services was "poor." When compared to both sets of benchmarks (communities in the U.S. and in Minnesota), Edina's rating for overall quality of City services was similar. ► Nearly all of the 34 services listed on the survey were rated as "excellent" or "good" by at least 6 in 10 residents. Fire services and ambulance or emergency medical services received the highest ratings, with 98% indicating it as "excellent" or "good," followed closely by public library services (97%). Ratings tended to be similar when compared to communities across the nation and in Minnesota. ► Of the 34 individual services rated in 2015,11 could be compared over time. Generally, ratings for these services remained stable; however, street lighting declined with 69% "excellent" or "good" ratings in 2015 compared to 80% in 2013. ► Residents were also asked how they felt about the level of property taxes in Edina. About 55% felt they were `very high" or "somewhat high." Residents were then asked to indicate their level of support for a property tax increase to maintain City services at their current level. Only 45% of residents "strongly" or "somewhat" supported this. This level of support in 2015 has decreased when compared to 2013 and 2011. C] The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey itJuly 2015 Survey Background The City of Edina contracted with National Research Center, Inc. (NRC) to conduct a community -wide quality of life survey. The primary goal of the survey was to assess the attitudes and opinions of residents by: / Evaluating City programs and services. / Determining general perceptions of the quality of life in the city Identifying issues facing the city. / Setting benchmarks for future surveys. The Edina Quality of Life Survey serves as a consumer report card for Edina by providing residents with the opportunity to rate the quality of life in the city, as well as the community's amenities, service delivery and their satisfaction with local government. Residents also provide feedback on what is working well and what is not, and communicate their priorities for community planning and resource allocation. Focusing on the quality of service delivery helps council, staff and the public to set priorities for budget decisions and lays the groundwork for tracking community opinions about the core responsibilities of Edina City government, helping to assure maximum service quality over time. This is the third iteration of the Edina Quality of Life Survey since the baseline study conducted in 2011. The 2015 survey was conducted by mail; both iterations prior to the 2015 survey were conducted by phone. SURVEY ADMINISTRATION Each selected household was contacted three times over the course of about three weeks. First, a postcard was mailed to 1,500 Edina households, selected at random, notifying residents that they had been chosen to participate in the survey. A survey packet followed in the mail about one week after the postcard and a second survey packet was sent about one week after the first packet. There were 512 respondents to the mailed questionnaire, yielding a response rate of 35%. Survey results were weighted so that respondent gender, age, race, ethnicity, housing unit type (attached or detached) and housing tenure (rent or own) were represented in the proportions reflective of the entire city. More information about the survey methodology can be found in Appendix F. Survey Methodology. How THE RESULTS ARE REPORTED For the most part, the full set of frequencies or the `percent positive" are presented in the body and narrative of the report. The percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., "excellent" and "good," `very safe and "somewhat safe," "strongly support" and "somewhat support," etc.). On many of the questions in the survey, respondents could give an answer of "don't know." The proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in Appendix B: Complete Survey Frequencies and is discussed in the body of this report if it is 30% or greater. However, these responses have been removed from the analyses presented in the body of the report, unless otherwise indicated. In other words, the majority of the tables and graphs in the body of the report display the results from respondents who had an opinion about a specific item. For some questions, respondents were permitted to select multiple options. When the total exceeds 100% in a table for a multiple response question, it is because some respondents are counted in more than one category. When a table for a question that only permitted a single response does not total to exactly 100%, it is due to the customary practice rounding values to the nearest whole number. The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey July 2015 PRECISION OF ESTIMATES It is customary to describe the precision of estimates made from surveys by a "level of confidence" and accompanying "confidence interval" (or margin of error). The 95 percent confidence level for this survey is generally no greater than plus or minus four percentage points around any given percent reported for the entire sample (N=512). Where estimates are given for subgroups, they are less precise. Generally the 95% confidence interval ranges from plus or minus five percentage points for samples of about 400 to plus or minus 10 percentage points for samples as small as 100. For smaller sample sizes (i.e., 50), the margin of error rises to 14%. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OVER TIME AND BY RESPONDENT SUBGROUPS Because this survey was the third iteration of the citizen survey, the 2015 results are presented along with past ratings when comparisons were available. Differences that surfaced may or may not be meaningful, as wording changes between survey versions and the switch in methodology from a mail to a telephone survey may account, at least in part, for any shift in ratings. The shift occurs even without change in resident perspectives and is attributed to the different environment that a survey respondent confronts when providing answers to a person on the telephone compared to offering private anonymous opinions. Questions by phone elicit more positive, optimistic, and socially -desirable responses than do the same questions asked on a written self-administered questionnaire. The self-administered questionnaire brings out more candid responses. NRC adjusted the findings from 2013 and prior in order to maximize the comparability of results over time. This way the reported trend line data should not be influenced by the decline that is attributable to the change in data collection mode from phone to mail. While the adjusted findings for data prior to 2015 reasonably control for the expected change from phone to mail data collection, the comparability of data over time does have some limitations. Not only is there sampling error in each survey administration, but also, the methods change occurred after a two-year gap in survey administrations and some question wording was inconsistent among survey years. Because of the overall shift in the methodology and related survey changes, NRC recommends that any change in Is ratings or reported behaviors be viewed with caution and that Edina consider differences of more than 10 percentage points from previous years to be large enough to signal a genuine change in opinion from 2013. Differences that do not reach this threshold should not be considered changes worthy of further interpretation. For more information on comparing results over time, see Appendix F: Survey Methodology. Selected survey results were compared by geographic location of each respondent's home, respondent length of residency, age, gender, housing unit type and housing unit tenure (rent or own). These crosstabulations are summarized and presented in tabular form in Appendix D: Responses to Selected Survey questions by Respondent Characteristics. Where differences between subgroups are statistically significant, the results in these tables are shaded grey. COMPARING SURVEY RESULTS TO OTHER COMMUNITIES NRC's database of comparative resident opinion is comprised of resident perspectives gathered in citizen surveys from approximately 500 communities whose residents evaluated their services. Conducted with typically no fewer than 400 residents in each community, opinions are intended to represent over 30 million Americans. Communities to which Edina is compared can be found in Appendix E: Detailed Benchmark Comparisons. National benchmark comparisons and comparisons to communities in Minnesota have been provided when similar questions on the Edina survey are included in NRC's database and there are at least five communities in which the question was asked, though most questions are compared to more than five other communities. Where comparisons for quality ratings were available, Edina's results were generally noted as being "higher" than the benchmark, "lower" than the benchmark or "similar" to the benchmark, meaning that the average rating given by city residents is statistically similar to or different (greater or lesser) than the benchmark. More extreme differences are noted as"much higher" or `much lower." Comparisons for a number of items on the survey were The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey • July 2015 not available in the benchmark database and have been excluded from the benchmark tables that appear throughout the body of the report.

Residents were also asked about Edina's sense of community, use of recreation facilities, their feelings of safety in the community and ease of travel in the community. Quality of Life Residents gave exceptionally high marks to the overall quality of life in Edina, with nearly all residents awarding "excellent" or "good" ratings in 2015; no respondents felt that the quality of life was "poor." When compared over time, ratings remained stable. Edina residents' opinions were compared to those of residents in other communities across the nation and those in Minnesota. Edina's rating for overall quality of life was higher when compared to communities in both sets of comparisons (see Appendix E: Detailed Benchmark Comparisons for detailed information on the benchmark comparisons).

About 9 in 10 residents planned to remain in Edina for the next five years and would recommend living in Edina to someone who asks. Compared to communities across the nation as well as in Minnesota, ratings for remaining in Edina and recommending living in Edina were similar (see Appendix E: Detailed Benchmark Comparisons for detailed information on the benchmark comparisons).

When compared to 2013, ratings for sense of community remained similar. As noted previously, differences in ratings over time may be in part to the switch in methodology from a mail to a telephone survey. Changes over time are regarded as meaningful if the difference in ratings between years is greater than ten percentage points. (Please see AppendixF: Survey Methodology for more information on how to interpret changes over time.) Edina residents' opinions were compared to those of residents in other communities across the nation and those in Minnesota. Edina's rating for sense of community was similar to communities in both sets of comparisons (see Appendix E: Detailed Benchmark Comparisons for detailed information on the benchmark comparisons).

At least three-quarters of residents evaluated all seven characteristics of Edina's community positively. Overall opportunities for education and enrichment, Edina's overall economic health and health and wellness opportunities received the highest ratings, with at least 90% indicating each as "excellent" or "good." About 88% of residents rated the quality of the city's overall natural environment positively and slightly fewer gave positive ratings to the overall image or reputation of Edina (86%). When compared to other communities across the nation and those in Minnesota, Edina residents' ratings of the overall community characteristics tended to be higher or similar.

In addition to rating overall community characteristics, residents were given a more extensive list of individual community characteristics and asked to rate the quality of each (see Figure 8 on the following page). The cleanliness of Edina received the highest rating, with 95% indicating this as "excellent" or "good" followed closely by K-12 education (94%) and air quality (92%). About 9 in 10 residents gave positive ratings to shopping opportunities and slightly fewer gave positive ratings to the overall quality of business and service establishments (86% "excellent" or "good"), adult education opportunities (85%) and public places where people want to spend time (84%). The lowest rated items with fewer than half of respondents giving a positive rating were cost of living (46% "excellent" or "good") and availability of affordable quality housing (36%). When compared to other communities across the nation, Edina residents' ratings of the individual community characteristics tended to be higher or similar. When compared to other communities in Minnesota, Edina residents' ratings tended to be a mix of higher or similar with the exception of the rating for availability of affordable quality housing which was lower. Please see Figure 9 on page 12 or Appendix E: Detailed Benchmark Comparisons for additional details. It is important to note that about 37% of respondents said "don't know" when rating the quality of employment opportunities.

About 8 in 10 gave "excellent" or "good" ratings to the ease of travel by car in Edina while 7 in 10 gave positive ratings to the ease of public parking. About 6 in 10 gave positive ratings to both the availability of paths and walking trails and traffic flow on major streets.

Quality of City Services For the first time in 2015, residents had the opportunity to rate the overall quality of City services. Residents gave exceptionally high marks to the overall quality of City services, with about 9 in 10 awarding "excellent" or "good" ratings; only three percent of respondents felt that the quality of City services was "poor." Edina residents' opinions were compared to those of residents in other communities across the nation and those in Minnesota. Edina s rating for overall quality of services was similar to communities in both sets of comparisons (see Appendix E: Detailed Benchmark Comparisons for detailed information on the benchmark comparisons). FIGURE 26: OVERALL QUALITY OF CITY SERVICES, 201.5 Excellent 28% Poor Good 3% 59% Fair- • 1o% 0 28 The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey, • July 2015 In addition to rating the overall quality of City services, residents were given a more extensive list of 34 individual services and asked to rate the quality of each (see Figure 27 on the following page). Twenty-nine of the 34 services were rated as "excellent" or "good" by at least 6 in 10 residents. Overall, the highest rated services tended to be public safety services (e.g., fire, ambulance and police) and parks and recreation services (e.g., city parks and park maintenance). The lower rated services tended to be streets or transportation related (e.g., bus or transit services, street repair and traffic signal timing). • LJ Of the 34 individual services rated in 2015,11 could be compared over time. Generally, these ratings remained stable between 2013 and 2015. One rating decreased in 2015 compared to 2013 (street lighting with 69% "excellent" or "good" in 2015 compared to 80% in 2013). (Please see Appendix F: Survey Methodology for more information on how to interpret changes over time.) At least 30% of respondents said "don't knovd' when rating the following services: public health services (44% "don't know"); emergency preparedness (43%); bus or transit services (40%); recreation programs or classes (38%); animal control (37%); code enforcement (37%); fire prevention and education (37%); recreation centers or facilities (32%); public information services (310/o); and economic development (30%). The responses presented in the body of the report are for those who had an opinion. The full set of responses, including "don't know" can be found in Appendix B: Complete Survey Frequencies. Of the 34 individual services rated in 2015, 32 could be compared to communities across the nation and 31 could be compared to communities in Minnesota. Edina's ratings tended to be similar to or higher than other communities across the nation and to other communities within Minnesota.

I know the low income housing apartments was a hot topic recently as many feared it would bring a demographic into the city that was not wanted. I understand building these types of units for underprivileged aults, but if safety is ever compromised you may see people looking elsewhere for home ownership. We moved to Edina (countryside) late 2013 and 6 months later had 2 bicycles stolen out of our garage while we were home. I've never had anything like this hppen and I've lived in Eagan, Rosemount, Apple Valley and Bloomington. Edina is safe for the most part, but I'm quick to tell people to be careful as it's exposed to crime like any other suburb. We pay about $13,000 per year in property tax and the strets should be lined with gold for that amount, however I do wish there were more patrol cars in my neighborhood (countryside) on a regular basis driving up and down the roads. Their very presence will deter crime. Also, road and sidewalk conditions. Edina is a very old/established city and many streets are suffering. I live off tracy Ave in the countryside neighborhood and this road is embarrassingly bad. It's in serious need of repaving. Its full of cracks and potholes. Every time I drive on this rod I'm trying to remind myself why I live here? Oh yeah, great schools and proximity to shopping etc. The sidewalks aren't much better. For the amount I pay in tax/year it's ridiculous to have streets in this poor condition. I understand that theres onl so many funds to cover these projects, but Edina. should have the best paved streets and sidewalks for the amount the city is taking from it's tenants in tax.

L L J 108 The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey July 2015 APPENDIX D: RESPONSES TO SELECTED SURVEY QUESTIONS EY RESPONDENT CHARACTERISTICS Responses in the following tables show only the proportion of respondents giving a certain answer; for example, the percent of respondents who rated the quality of life as "excellent" or "good," or the percent of respondents who used the Aquatic Center at least once in the 12 months prior to the survey. ANOVA and chi-square tests of significance were applied to these comparisons of survey questions. A "p -value" of 0.05 or less indicates that there is less than a 5% probability that differences observed between subgroups are due to chance; or in other words, a greater than 95% probability that the differences observed are "real." Where differences were statistically significant, they have been shaded grey.

The comparison evaluations are from the most recent survey completed in each community; most communities conduct surveys every year or in alternating years. NRC adds the latest results quickly upon survey completion, keeping the benchmark data fresh and relevant. The communities in the database represent a wide geographic and population range. National comparisons and comparisons of Minnesota communities have been provided when similar questions on the Edina Quality of Life Survey are included in NRC's database. Interpreting the Results Ratings are compared when there are at least five communities in which a similar question was asked. Where comparisons are available, four columns are provided in the table. The first column is Edina s `percent positive" The percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., "excellent" and "good," `very safe" and "somewhat safe," `very likely" and "somewhat likely," etc.). The second column is the rank assigned to Edina's rating among communities where a similar question was asked. The third column is the number of communities that asked a similar question. The final column shows the comparison of Edina s rating to the benchmark. In that final column, Edina's results are noted as being "higher" than the Benchmark Database 40 benchmark, "lower" than the benchmark or "similar" to the benchmark, Characteristics meaning that the average rating given by residents is statistically similar to or different (greater or lesser) than the benchmark. More extreme Region Percent differences are noted as `much higher" or `much lower."

General citizen surveys, such as this one, ask recipients their perspectives about the quality of life in the city, their use of city amenities, their opinion on policy issues facing the city and their assessment of city service delivery. The 2015 survey instrument was developed by starting with the version from the previous implementation in 2013. A list of topics was generated for new questions; topics and questions were modified to find those that were the best fit for the 2015 questionnaire. In an iterative process between City staff and NRC staff, a final five-page questionnaire was created. SELECTING SURVEY RECIPIENTS "Sampling' refers to the method by which survey recipients are chosen. The "sample' refers to all those who were given a chance to participate in the survey. All households located in Edina's boundaries were eligible for the survey. Because local governments or organizations generally do not have inclusive lists of all the residences in the community (tax assessor and utility billing databases often omit rental units), lists from the United States Postal Service (USPS), updated every three months, usually provide the best representation of all households in a specific geographic location. NRC used the USPS data to select the survey recipients. A larger list than needed was pulled so that a process referred to as "geocoding" could be used to eliminate addresses from the list that were outside Edina's boundaries. Geocoding is a computerized process in which • addresses are compared to electronically mapped boundaries and coded as inside or outside desired boundaries; in this case, within Edina. All addresses determined to be outside the study boundaries were eliminated from the list of potential households. Each address identified as being within city boundaries was further identified as being within the northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest quadrant of the city. A random selection was made of the remaining addresses to create a mailing list of 1,500 addresses, distributed proportionately between the geographic quadrants. Attached units were over sampled as residents of this type of housing typically respond at lower rates to surveys than do those in detached housing units. An individual within each household was randomly selected to complete the survey using the birthday method The birthday method selects a person within the household by asking the "person whose birthday has most recently passed" to complete the questionnaire. The underlying assumption in this method is that day of birth has no relationship to the way people respond to surveys. This instruction was contained in the cover letter accompanying the questionnaire. SURVEY ADMINISTRATION AND RESPONSE RATE Each selected household was contacted three times. First, a prenotification announcement was sent, informing the household members that they had been selected to participate in the City of Edina Quality of Life Survey. Approximately one week after mailing the prenotification, each household was mailed a survey containing a cover letter signed by the City Manager enlisting participation. The packet also contained a postage -paid return envelope in which the survey recipients could return the completed questionnaire directly to NRC. A reminder letter and survey, scheduled to arrive one to two weeks after the first survey, was the final contact. The second cover letter asked those who had not completed the survey to do so and those who had already done so to refrain from turning in another survey. Each wave of the cover letter accompanying the survey included a web link for residents to visit if they preferred to take the survey online. • 141 The Citv of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Surve July 2015 The mailings were sent in May and June, 2015. Completed surveys were collected over the following five weeks. About 4% of the 1,500 surveys mailed were returned because the housing unit was vacant or the postal service was unable to deliver the survey as addressed. Of the 1,444 households presumed to have received a survey, 512 completed the survey (37 of which were completed online), providing a response rate of 35%. Response rates by geographic quadrant ranged from a low of 25% in the southeast quadrant to a high of 47% in the northeast quadrant of the city.

Overall 1500 56 516 35% MARGIN OF ERROR The 95% confidence interval (or `margin of error") quantifies the "sampling error" or precision of the estimates made from the survey results. A 95% confidence interval can be calculated for any sample size, and indicates that in 95 of 100 surveys conducted like this one, for a particular item, a result would be found that is within four percentage points of the result that would be found if everyone in the population of interest was surveyed. The practical difficulties of conducting any resident survey may introduce other sources of error in addition to sampling error. Despite best efforts to boost participation and ensure potential inclusion of all households, some selected households will decline participation in the survey (referred to as non -response error) and some eligible households may be unintentionally excluded from the listed sources for the sample (referred to as coverage • error). While the margin of error for the survey is generally no greater than plus or minus four percentage points around any given percent reported for the entire sample, results for subgroups will have wider confidence intervals. Where estimates are given for subgroups, they are less precise. For each subgroup from the survey, the margin of error rises to as much as plus or minus 10% for a sample size of 100 completed surveys. SURVEY PROCESSING (DATA ENTRY) Mailed surveys were returned via postage -paid business reply envelopes. Once received, staff assigned a unique identification number to each questionnaire. Additionally; each survey was reviewed and "cleaned" as necessary. For example, a question may have asked a respondent to pick two items out of a list of five, but the respondent checked three; staff would choose randomly two of the three selected items to be coded in the dataset. Once all surveys were assigned a unique identification number, they were entered into an electronic dataset. This dataset is subject to a data entry protocol of "key and verify," in which survey data were entered twice into an electronic dataset and then compared. Discrepancies were evaluated against the original survey form and corrected. Range checks as well as other forms of quality control were also performed. WEIGHTING THE DATA The primary objective of weighting survey data is to make the survey sample reflective of the larger population of the community. This is done by: l) reviewing the sample demographics and comparing them to the population norms from the most recent Census or other sources and 2) comparing the responses to different questions for demographic subgroups. The demographic characteristics that are least similar to the Census and yield the most different results are the best candidates for data weighting. A special software program using mathematical algorithms is used to calculate the appropriate weights. Several different weighting "schemes" are tested to • 142 The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey • July 2015 ensure the best fit for the data. The variables used for weighting were respondent gender, age, race, ethnicity, housing unit type (attached or detached), housing tenure (rent or own) and geographic location of respondents residency. The results of the weighting scheme are presented in the following table. 2oi5 EDINA QUALITY OF LIFE SURVEY WEIGHTING TABLE Characteristic Population Norm Unweighted Data Weighted Data Rent home 25% 13% 24% Own home 75% 87% 76% Detached unit 59% 57% 59% Attached unit 41% 43% 41% Race and -Ethnicity 45% 72% 48% White 900/0 92% 89% Not white 10% 80/0 110/0 Not Hispanic 98% 98% 98% His .. _ 9% 2% 7% Sex and Aize 18% 90/0 _...__ .

For the most part, frequency distribution ratings are presented in the body of the report. A complete set of frequencies for each survey question is presented in Appendix B: Complete Survey Frequencies. Also included are results by respondent characteristics (Appendix D: Responses to Selected Survey 2uestions by Respondent Characteristics). Chi-square or ANOVA tests of significance were applied to these breakdowns of selected survey questions. A `p -value" of 0.05 or less indicates that there is less than a 5% probability that differences observed between groups are due to chance; or in other words, a greater than 95% probability that the differences observed in the selected categories of the sample represent "real" differences among those 143 The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey July 2015 is populations. Where differences between subgroups are statistically significant, they have been marked with grey shading in the appendices. Comparing to Previous Survey Results For reporting comparability, the "don't knomr responses from past years data were removed in order to match the reporting of the 2015 data which shows the percentages without "don't know" to focus on the results from those who had an opinion about a particular service or activity. Edina's survey data were collected by phone in 2013 and prior. In 2015, the City switched data collection from phone to mail. Research is clear that a change in the method of survey data collection, by itself, will result in a change in results if the shift is from telephone administration to self -administration or vice versa. The change occurs even without change in resident perspectives and is attributed to the different environment that a survey respondent confronts when providing answers to a person on the telephone compared to offering private anonymous opinions. Questions by phone elicit more positive, optimistic, socially -desirable responses than do the same questions asked on a written self-administered questionnaire. The self-administered questionnaire brings out more candid responses.. As a consequence of the switch in methodology, a general decline in ratings was both expected and observed; an average of about 12 percentage points (after the removal of "don't knovd' responses). Thus, NRC adjusted down the findings from 2013 and prior by this average difference for the most extreme differences in order to maximize the comparability of results over time This way the reported trendline data are not influenced by the decline that is attributable to the change in data collection mode from phone to mail. While the adjusted findings for data prior to 2013 reasonably control for the expected change from phone to mail data collection, the comparability of data over time does have some limitations. Not only is there sampling error in each survey administration, but also, the methods change occurred after a two-year gap in survey administrations and some question wording was inconsistent among survey years. • Because of the overall shift in the methodology and related survey changes, NRC recommends that any change in ratings or reported behaviors be viewed with caution and that Edina consider differences of more than 10 percentage points from previous years to be large enough to signal a genuine change in opinion from 2013. Differences that do not reach this threshold should not be considered changes worthy of further interpretation. 0 144 The City of Edina 2015 Quality of Life Survey is July 2015 • C APPENDIX G: SURVEY MATERIALS The following pages contain copies of the survey materials sent to randomly selected households within the City of Edina. 145 Dear Edina Resident, It won't take much of your time to make a big difference!

Please return the completed survey in the postage -paid envelope to: National Research Center, Inc., PO Box 549, Belle Mead, NJ 08502 To: MAYOR & COUNCIL From: Eric Roggeman Finance Director Fe ��rihPO71", IHHH Agenda Item #: VII. A. Action Discussion ❑ Date: September 1, 2015 Information ❑ Subject: Resolution No. 2015-86 Approving Preliminary 2016 Budget and Levy Action Requested: Adopt Resolution No. 2015-86 setting the preliminary 2016 property tax levy and operating budget. Information / Background: M.S. 275.06 was modified by law enacted during the 2014 legislative session. The statute now requires that the City adopt a proposed budget and levy and certify the proposed budget and levy to the county auditor by September 30 (previously September 15). The county auditor will use this information to prepare and send parcel specific notices between November I I and November 24. The City is also required to certify our final property tax levy to the county auditor by December 28, 2015. The final levy may be less than or equal to, but not higher than the preliminary levy. The attached resolution will set the maximum proposed 2016 tax levies of $25,023,952 for the General Fund, $20,000 for the Arts and Culture Fund, $1,680,000 for the Construction Fund to be used for equipment replacement, $946,000 for city hall debt (levy through 2020), $385,901 for gymnasium debt (levy through 2025), $443,000 for fire station debt (levy through 2027), $1,561,000 for public works facility debt (levy through 2029), and $1,167,620 for sports dome debt (levy through 2034). The total market value based referendum levy would be set at $571,650 for park referendum debt service (levy through 2016). The total of all levies would increase by 7.07%. The total increase in tax capacity levies is 7.38%. The tax capacity levy increase is sometimes used as the official number by the County and State, although in Edina's case that calculation excludes changes in our park referendum levy. For Edina the total increase of 7.07% is a more useful number because it includes changes in our park referendum levy.

From: Scott H. Neal, City Manager Action Discussion ❑ Date: September 1, 2015 Information ❑ Subject: PROPOSED INCREASE INUTILITY FRANCHISE FEES: ORDINANCE No. 2015-15 and No. 2015-16 PROPOSED POLICY FOR CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY (CAS) FUND Action Requested: Approve first reading of Ordinance No. 2015-15 and No. 2015-16 increase utility franchise fees. Approve the proposed Conservation and Sustainability Fund Policy. Information / Background: The City of Edina has bold goals for environmental protection. Those goals are described in great detail in Chapter 10 or the City's Comprehensive Plan, and included Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction goals for Edina city government of 15% by 2015, 30% by 2025 and 80% by 2050. In order to meet the GHG reduction goals, the City created a five point plan: • Conduct a baseline emissions inventory and forecast • Adopt an overall GHG reduction goal and an emissions reduction target based on the forecast year • Develop a Local Action Plan • Implement policies and measures • Monitor and verify results In addition to adding its environmental protection goals to its Comprehensive Plan, the City Council created a new citizen advisory commission in 2007, the Energy & Environment Commission (EEC), and gave it a broad environmental protection mandate, including the following: • Energy conservation for Edina's citizens and businesses • City government purchasing policies to encourage energy conservation • Residential recycling program • Municipal solid waste collection • Public education about energy issues • Promotion of Renewable energy options • Establishing targets for GHG reduction Various attempts have been made over the past eight years by the City to create a focused systemic approach to accomplishing the goals of Chapter 10 and the EEC, with limited success, despite spending in excess of $700,000 during that time period on various software packages, consulting studies and capital improvements. Examples of these expenditures include the staff time dedicated to maintenance of the 133 database and participation in the Green Step City of Edina • 4801 W. 501h St. • Edina, MN 55424 REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 2 Cities program; the energy conservation capital improvements that were part of the McKinstry performance contract in 2011; and the installation of solar panels on the roof of City Hall. 10 The resources spent by the City to date on conservation and sustainability have not been wasted. The 2011 McKinstry improvements to our buildings, for example, have achieved their goal of reducing the City's carbon footprint. But it is a fair critique to say that these expenditures have been uncoordinated and have lacked focus on the singular goal of reducing the City's production of GHG. And, it is also fair to say that because these past expenditures have been uncoordinated, they have not led to new embedded conservation and sustainability practices on our daily city government operations. If the City is going to achieve its ambitious GHG reduction goals, it must be willing to make an equally ambitious decision to dedicate the resources, staff and organizational attention necessary to achieve these goals. If the City Council is willing to create a dedicated source of revenue and a new dedicated fulltime staff position, organizational attention will follow, as will substantial progress toward the accomplishment of the City's environmental goals. The Conservation and Sustainability Fund Initiative In order to make substantial progress toward the accomplishment of the City's environmental protection goals, I propose the City Council approve the creation of a new initiative focused on the concepts of conservation and sustainability. The initiative will be supported by a new special revenue fund called the Conservation and Sustainability (CAS) Fund. The CAS Fund will be supported by a dedicated revenue source - utility franchise fees. At your September 1 meeting, the City Council will consider the first of two readings of ordinances that will increase utility franchise fees for the customers of Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy that were first established in 2012. If • adopted, the ordinance will increase the existing franchise fees for the residential customer by $0.50/meter/month for both utilities. Existing franchise fees were set in 2012 at $1.45/month for both Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy. If adopted as proposed, the proposed increase will bring the monthly franchise fees to $1.95 for each utility for residential customers. The current franchise for both utilities requires the City to provide them each a 60 day notice prior to the adoption or change of franchise fees. If the Council adopts first reading of the proposed ordnances at your September 1 Council meeting, the second reading will be scheduled on November 4. If second reading is approved on November 4, the ordinance will be adopted and the both utilities will be notified to begin imposing the new franchise fees during the first quarter of 2016. Anticipated additional revenue from the new franchise fees will be $250,000 per year. Funds from the new 2015 franchise fees will be segregated from other City revenues, and from other City utility franchise fees, into the new CAS Fund. The CAS Fund will be a dedicated funding source for the new conservation and sustainability functionality and programs, which will provide the City with three key benefits that we do not currently enjoy: A dedicated source of funding for capital improvements for City property and equipment that further the City's overall conservation and sustainability goals. A dedicated source of funding for dedicated staffing that will be charged with implementing the conservation and sustainability work plan goals. An organizational emphasis and attention to imbedding a strong conservation and sustainability ethos into the city government's overall operations. I am proposing a similar model for the creation of the CAS Fund with the new franchise fees as was used to create the Pedestrian and Cyclists Safety (PACS) Fund with the first utility franchise fees in 2012. That model included a dedicated • revenue source, dedicated employee staffing and focused control over the spending of the new revenue. One of the reasons for the success of the PACS Fund has been the policy adopted by the City Council that clearly described, and REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 3 restricted the manner in which, the PACS funds could be spent. The PACS Fund policy provided parameters around spending that were successful in keeping the PACS Fund spending tightly focused on the Council's overall goal to, generally, increase the size and safety of the City's network of sidewalks and bicycle infrastructure. I want to replicate the success of the PACS Fund with the proposed new CAS Fund. The following is my recommendation for the CAS Fund policy. THE PROPOSED CAS FUND POLICY: The Conservation and Sustainability Fund (CAS Fund) is a special revenue fund created to account for new (2015) utility franchise fee revenues. The 2015 utility franchise fees will be a dedicated revenue of the CAS Fund. Other potential revenues for the CAS Fund may include grants, gifts, special assessments and transfers from other City funds. Eligible expenses for the CAS Fund will include the following: 1. Capital improvements to City -owned buildings and equipment which improve energy conservation, efficiency or performance for the purpose of reducing the City's production of GHG. 2. Legal and consulting services directly related to accomplishing the City's conservation and sustainability work plan or capital improvements. 3. Staffing and personnel operational costs (compensation, overhead related employee costs, work related equipment, professional development, etc.) for a new 1.0 FTE City employee that is 100% dedicated to implementing the City's goals, objectives and work plan related to energy conservation and sustainability. 0 Examples of ineligible expenses for the CAS Fund include the following: 1. Political and advocacy activities 2. Consulting studies not directly related to energy conservation and sustainability projects that are not included in the City's CAS work plan or CAS capital improvement plan (CIP). 3. Capital expenses not related to improving the sustainability of energy performance of a City building or equipment or does not reduce the GHG production of the building 4. Costs related to public education and events, including refreshments, speaker fees & honorariums, room rentals, gifts, marketing & advertising or any other similar expenses 5. Costs related to travel, professional development of City advisory commission members 6. Capital improvements eligible to be funded by the PACS Fund 7. Operating or capital expenses related to water conservation, local food production, solid waste management, resource recycling, storm water management, noise pollution reduction and other non -CAS related policy priorities of the Energy & Environment Commission. 8. Capital or operating costs related to vehicles The proposed new City staff position will be responsible for creating a budget and work plan each year to accomplish . the CAS Fund goals. Among the primary duties of the new CAS Fund staff position are the following: • Serve as the staff liaison to the Energy & Environment Commission. • Act as a resource and liaison to all City departments on conservation and sustainability matters. REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 4 • Represent the City to other levels of government on conservation and sustainability issues. • Write grants and seek other outside funding to assist the City with meeting its conservation and sustainability goals. • Provide cost/benefit analysis of proposed environmental projects and programs • Report on performance management metrics related to the City's conservation and sustainability programs and projects • Prepare CAS Fund project and annual operating budgets • Prepare CAS Fund work plans and capital improvement plans The CAS staff member will serve as the staff liaison to the EEC and will assist EEC with the completion of their approved annual Work Plan. CAS funds, however, may only be spent on CAS Fund eligible expenses. The revenue for the CAS Fund will be determined by the Finance Director each year based upon a consultation with representatives from both utilities. The Finance Director will provide a revenue forecast to the new CAS staff member. The CAS staff member will prepare an operating and capital budget for the CAS Fund at the direction of the City Manager and Finance Director. The CAS staff member will also prepare a proposed CAS Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CAS staff member will present the CIP to the EEC annually for their review and comment through the City's regular budget preparation process. Not less than 50% of the available annual CAS Funds will be dedicated to the CAS CIP. The CAS Fund staff member will create an annual CAS Work Plan through the City's standard work plan process. The Work Plan will be consistent with previously adopted City plans and goals. The Work Plan will be presented to the EEC for review and comment before it is presented to the City Manager and City Council for approval. Once approved by the City Council, the new CAS Fund staff member will be charged with implementing the Work Plan. 0 • ORDINANCE NO. 2015-15 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2012-15 A GAS ENERGY FRANCHISE FEE ON CENTERPOINT ENERGY MINNESOTA GAS ("CENTERPOINT ENERGY") FOR PROVIDING GAS ENERGY SERVICE WITHIN THE CITY OF EDINA THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY ED.INA MINNESOTA ORDAINS: SECTION 1.

Action ❑ Discussion Information ❑ Information / Background: The City Council is asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to redevelop the 2 acre parcel at 3101 66th Street West and 6612 Xerxes Avenue. The applicant is proposing to tear down the existing vacant Best Buy building and single-family home, and redevelop it with a six -story 210 unit apartment with a 3,800 square foot restaurant. The building would have one level of underground parking. (See plans and narrative on pages A4 -A14 of the Planning Commission Memo.) Details of the project include: ➢ 210 units — 104 units per acre ➢ FAR 2.2 ➢ Parking ratio of I/ I for the residential units — 210 for residents and 63 for the restaurant ➢ 3,800 square foot restaurant and outdoor dining ➢ Health and fitness center ➢ Community cafe ➢ Pool ➢ Small park The entrance to the site would be off Southdale Circle and Xerxes Avenue. The single-family home site would be primarily utilized by a small park. To accommodate the request, two amendments to the Comprehensive Plan would be required: ➢ Building Height — from 4 stories and 48 feet tall to 6 stories and 70+ feet tall. ➢ Housing Density — from 75 units per acre to 104. A rezoning of all the property to PUD, Planned Unit Development is requested. This property is located within an area of the City that is designated as a "Potential Area of Change" within the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan states that within the Potential Areas of Change, "A development proposal that involves a Comprehensive Plan Amendment or a rezoning will require a Small Area Plan study prior to planning application.

Sketch Plan Review. Best Buy Site. 3101 West 66"' Street, Edina, MN. Planner Presentation Planner g Teague reported that the Planning Commission is asked to consider a sketch g P plan proposal to redevelop the 2 acre parcel at 3101 66`h Street West and 6612 Xerxes Avenue. The applicant is proposing to tear down the existing vacant Best Buy building and single-family home, and redevelop it with a six -story 210 unit apartment with a 3,800 square foot restaurant. The building would have one level of underground parking. Details of the project include: ➢ 210 units — 104 units per acre ➢ FAR 2.2 ➢ Parking ratio of I/ I for the residential units — 210 for residents and 63 for the restaurant ➢ 3,800 square foot restaurant and outdoor dining • ➢ Health and fitness center ➢ Community cafe ➢ Pool ➢ Small park Teague noted that the entrance to the site would be off Southdale Circle and Xerxes Avenue. The single-family home site would be primarily utilized by a small park. To accommodate the request, two amendments to the Comprehensive Plan would be required: Building Height — from 4 stories and 48 feet tall to 6 stories and 70+ feet tall; and Housing Density — from 75 units per acre to 104. Teague said a rezoning of all the property to PUD, Planned Unit Development is also requested. Continuing, Teague pointed out this property is located within an area of the City that is designated as a "Potential Area of Change" within the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan states that within the Potential Areas of Change, "A development proposal that involves a Comprehensive Plan Amendment or a rezoning will require a Small Area Plan study prior to planning application. However, the authority to initiate a Small Area Plan rests with the City Council." The City Council is therefore requested to determine if a Small Area Plan is necessary. A study is currently underway in this area as part of the Planning Commission's work plan. Teague further noted that the France Avenue Southdale Area Development Principles 40 have been shared with the applicant. They have been asked to address each of the Page 16 • principles with any formal application. Teague presented graphics of the project and introduced the development team. Pete Keely, College Architects and Kurt Krumenauer, Midwest Apartment Brokers Applicant Presentation Mr. Krumenauer, informed the Commission their intent is to develop this site as a "Gateway" corner through density, quality of design and aligning with the 66`h Street Urban Corridor Revitalization. Mr. Keely said as mentioned by Mr. Krumenauer the intent is to create a gateway and to express something larger and bold. The proposed plan takes advantage of the curve at York Avenue and West 66`h Street by establishing a linear park. The plan holds the building edge at street level and provides a series of walk-ups and stairways. Continuing, Keely reported that the site consists of three properties and the existing buildings would be removed, adding the proposed building is C shaped and can be viewed as two building areas. The proposal is for a mixed use project with a 210 -unit (4 -6 -stories) apartment building with a 3,800 square foot restaurant and 1,200 square feet of office space with parking access directed off of Southdale Circle. The site includes 273 parking stalls. Continuing, Keely added the exterior materials are proposed as stone; larger pieces of Glass. As previously mentioned a linear park in proposed along with terraces and walk- up units. • Continuing, with graphics Keely highlighted for the Commission aspects of the proposed redevelopment. In conclusion, Krumenauer said their intent is to develop something special, adding they have been working on this project for two years and believe what's presented is a good project and would appreciate feedback from the Commission. Discussion Chair Platteter pointed out this proposal "asks" for a lot and questioned what the City "gets" with this project. Mr. Keely responded that the density provides the building with the financial means to do an upscale project that will include the linear park and the addition of another park/open space on the south end. Exterior building materials are enhanced. Another point is that with this project the development team is trying to keep the rents reasonable while creating a life style choice providing walkability, exercise and community area near fabulous amenities. Commissioner Forrest commented that she finds the design attractive and interesting; however there's a lot going on especially on the south side (Taco Bell). Forrest said it appears that the south park/open space area while a great idea looks quickly added. Concluding Forrest said she's also not sure on height. • Mr. Keely said it would be very important for the team to know where the Commission Page 17 0 stands on building height. Commissioner Carr said she too finds the design interesting and agrees this site is a "gateway" into the Southdale area. She further added that she thinks it was a good idea to drop the building height along Xerxes Avenue. Carr asked if they have settled on the type of stone indicated for exterior materials. Mr. Keely said that hasn't been decided yet; however he believes it may be Kasota stone, or something similar but not as white. Continuing, Keely said the curved facade is about making a statement. Chair Platteter said he agrees this is a gateway, adding he is intrigued with the curved facade; however, wants the team to remember the project is also a gate to the residential properties on Xerxes Avenue. Continuing, Platteter said that he is worried about access and parking on Xerxes Avenue. He also suggested that shadow studies be done before formal application. Mr. Keely asked Chair Platteter where he envisions apartment vehicle access. Platteter responded that in his opinion they should look at West 66`h Street. Mr. Krumenauer interjected that he spoke with representatives from the City of Richfield and they too indicated they would like the access moved to West 66`h Street. Platteter said to him that access point is a key piece, adding the City needs to look out for everyone. Commissioner Nemerov said he is hesitant on the walk-up apartments. He said if walk- up units aren't located in a residential pedestrian setting in his opinion they can look odd. Continuing, Nemerov said he also has a concern that the subject site could become an island if redevelopment doesn't occur to the south and asked the team if they considered more retail, adding it is important in this area to consider how "people get here and there". Mr. Keely said he agrees that walk-ups can appear odd or out of place; however, he believes if they get this corner "right" over time the area will evolve. Chair Platteter said a good point mentioned is pedestrian flow. Platteter said this site needs more work on walkability. Mr. Keely said he believes the linear park along West 66`h Street would encourage walkability and pedestrian movement. Keely explained the linear park would be a razed up walkway above the traffic zone that can move people through it, either to access their apartment or during a neighborhood walk. Commissioner Carr asked if they have decided if the linear park would have steps or would it be constructed on an incline. She said how it is constructed would make a difference. Mr. Keely said they are still refining aspects of the park, adding they want that edge softened. Carr said she doesn't want to see a huge wall along that portion of the site, adding she wants it to look attractive from the street. Commissioner Lee said she also finds the proposal intriguing and different. She added she likes the "light quality" of the proposal as it approaches Xerxes Avenue. Lee agreed that the team should look at a West 66`h Street access vs. Xerxes Avenue. She said in her opinion the access indicated on the plans is too close to the residential properties on Xerxes Avenue. Continuing, Lee said the scale of the project can be broken up through exterior building materials. She said attention should be paid to the east and Page 18 south elevations before formal application and suggested adding water feature somewhere on the site. She said she envisions kids splashing in a fountain on a warm day; and the outdoor area not just grass and a few trees. Commissioner Hobbs suggested that they work hard to create a more interactive site, pointing out this corner is very prominent, adding he likes the fact that the proposed building is different and innovative. Concluding, Hobbs suggested developing a site that brings the public in; is welcoming. Commissioner Forrest said in thinking about the "island" aspect of the site she suggested that they take advantage of all opportunities to bring people in; reducing "our" car culture. She suggested that they look at everything and anything they can to get people in, get people walking. Forrest said the location is also very good in promoting health, noting in the future there will be a new mass transit facility in close proximity to this site. Forrest agreed with other comments that they should revisit the parking access. Concluding, Forrest thanked the team for bringing in "something different", adding the look of this building in contrast to the boxed apartments on the Southdale site creates a unique street scape. Chair Platteter thanked the team for their presentations; adding it's an interesting project. VIII. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS Chair Platteter acknowledged back of packet materials. IX.

The applicant is not proposing any affordable housing as part of this project. Given housing policy under consideration by the City Council; this project should be required to provide affordable housing consistent with the policy or 20% of the units designated for affordable housing. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN The applicant has not indicated any sustainable design principles. As part of any formal application sustainable design should be included. COMMPREHENSIVE PLAN I This property is located in the CAC, Community Activity Center. Maximum density in the CAC is 75 units per acre. Development Guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan for this area reads as follows: "Form -based design standards for building placement, massing and street -level treatment. Buildings should be placed in appropriate proximity to streets to create pedestrian scale. Buildings "step down" at boundaries with lower -density districts and upper stories "step back" from street. More stringent design standards for buildings > 5 stories. Emphasize pedestrian circulation; re -introduce finer -grained circulation patterns where feasible." "The most intense district in terms of uses, height and coverage. Primary uses: Retail, office, lodging, entertainment and residential uses, combined or in separate buildings. Secondary uses: Institutional, recreational uses. Mixed use should be encouraged, and may be required on larger sites." PUD The purpose and intent of a PUD is to include most or all of the following: a. provide for the establishment of PUD (planned unit development) zoning districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a development pattern that is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; City of Edina - 4801 W. 50th St. - Edina, MN 55424 MEMO �gZriA, �1 o� e „1 o • �'��cbAF�ty SAO b. promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and general welfare of the City; c. provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in order to improve site design and operation, while at the same time incorporate design elements that exceed the City's standards to offset the effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include: sustainable design, greater utilization of new technologies in building design, special construction materials, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management, pedestrian oriented design, and podium height at a street or transition to residential neighborhoods, parks or other sensitive uses; d. ensure high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned; e. maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities; f. preserve and enhance site characteristics including natural features, wetland protection, trees, open space, scenic views, and screening,- g. creening; g. allow for mixing of land uses within a development; h. encourage a variety of housing types including affordable housing; and ensure the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses. The proposed project would incorporate some of the items noted above. However, as mention earlier there is no mention of affordable housing or sustainable design. Elements that are included would be high quality building design, mixed use, and pedestrian oriented design. STAFF CONCERNS Staff concerns include density, height, setbacks with a lack of a podium, and lack of affordable housing. The proposed density exceeds what is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan; and the most significant requirements of a PUD are not included. Given the request for this high of a density, 20% of the units should be provided for affordable housing.

The plan proposes a significant feature at the curve of 66th and York. This feature would announce the arrival into the district, and acts as a pedestrian way to define the circulation. The plan proposes residential common space overlooking this gateway that would provide vitality to this location. The proposed plan holds the building edge at the street level and provides a series of walk-ups and stairways defining the edge of the district in a pedestrian friendly manner. The plan supports a mixed-use district combining retail residential and residential commons spaces into an active street level. Thus, we feel the proposed density level allows for the project to afford the public park, additional stepped-up amenity spaces, and a curved landscape feature on 66th befitting of the "Gateway" concept and aligning with the 66th street corridor improvement plans in the future. It allows this project to actually be viable. As we explored multiple concepts for this site, the plan presented to the committee, provided the most appropriate street front and "Gateway" presence, while providing great residential courtyards facing south. This plan also mitigates the height toward the south by minimizing the ends of the buildings toward the south. Project Description and Unit Mix: The project sits on three properties, 3200 Southdale Circle - 3101 66th Street W - 6612 Xerxes Avenue South. The properties have existing structures to be removed. The proposed mixed-use building is comprised of 210 housing units with 70% one bedrooms and 30% two bedrooms. The units range in size from 500 square feet to 1,200 square feet. The unit price will be market rate with higher rents reflecting amenity adjacencies and overall size of the unit. The project will be promoting alternative transportation choices with covered bike repair/storage rooms and a focused look at the pedestrian realm along the major intersection of York and West 66th. The site design will focus on walkability, public green spaces as well as a visual and physical connection to the building amenities. Residential walk up units will buffer the first floor parking along W66th IsStreet and Xerxes Avenue. Alt • The building design takes advantage of the long radius along York Avenue and will reinforce this curve throughout the design process. The major amenities of the building are positioned at the apex of the curve of the intersection to act as marquee of activity for the project. The first level health and fitness center and the second level cafe / lounge will anchor the resident's activity and circulation for the project. Adjacent to the cafe / lounge on the second level is the pool deck and walking plaza. This south facing deck allows for the majority of the building mass to be concentrated along W 66h street and provide quality light and air to the residents while appropriately transitioning into the residential neighborhood to the south. A small public pocket park is being proposed to the south to reinforce the easing of this transition and provide an accessible connection around the whole site. The project is anchored on the southwest corner by a 3,800 sf restaurant and 1,200 sf of office with parking access directed off of Southdale Circle to the south. All project amenities are to be physically or visually connected to the public realm along W66th Street. Height: The building is a combination of five and six stories (67'-8") in height to sixth floor roof bearing. The pool plaza is 14' above the first floor parking and is one story along the south edge of the property. The building massing steps down to five stories on the portions that face the new public park. �]MPMIMM,ft 0 1 I 1 STEP BACKS AT 6THI ISTEP 94CKS AT 6TH I I RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL I�I',EVTIAL OFFICE I COVERED PA.RKNG LEVEL.

I am currently a member of Edina Arts Center, but am not a resident of your city. The city I live in does not offer an art center, nor does it have plans for one in the future. I have taken many classes at Edina Art Center, as I am a full-time potter and it allows me a place to explore my craft. I find it a wonderful facility that offers up to a very diverse mix of people from all sorts of backgrounds and income levels from throughout the Twin Cities. The staff there is helpful, funny, and highly informative. It is a place that allows other artists from the Twin Cities area to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and explore new areas that we may have never thought of as artists. It also offers up programs that no other facility I know of offers, to kids, teenagers, and adults alike. I have donated to this facility many times as I believe that the arts are a key influence on our community at large and I believe in the message it brings forward. The city of Edina has currently passed a new ordinance that does not allow me or other nonresidents to register for classes until all Edina city residents are allowed a full week to register first. This was passed for all of the city of Edina's offerings, not just in the Edina Art Center. Having to have had to deal with cities in the past, and understanding how cities work, I can see how Edina would want their residents to enjoy its offerings. Although from a nonresidential point of view, I defiantly object to this decision this city council has made. In addition I view it as preferential treatment, bias, and potentially discriminatory. I have been informed that approximately 30% or more of the classes there are currently filled with Edina residents with its current sign up system. Taking into account, if things were to stay the same, 30% of the class is 3-4 students of the 10 maximum student intake for the rest of the Twin Cities. Now, with the city of Edina's new changes, after waiting for one week to be even allowed to sign up, this puts the possibility of places left in the class to potentially less then half for the entire Twin Cities residents. Odds are many others will not have the opportunity to sign up and in turn could then decrease the desire to even attend classes there. It adds to the already perceived idea that the city of Edina is a "private club". Again, I understand that this was the city of Edina that choose to do this, and is not the decision of Edina Art Center, but I cannot say that as a current student and member I agree with it at all. I will keep this in mind when deciding if or when I have the choice to renew this fall. I hope that the city of Edina reconsiders their view and decision in this matter. Food for thought: If I am reaching out with this, for only one of your city's offerings, think of how many others are thinking the same thing for your other offerings throughout the city.

With the spring and summer peak buying season coming to a close, activity levels should begin to cool month-to-month, though most indicators are still expected to show year -over -year improvement. Many buyers are still frustrated by low inventory levels, making seller activity and new construction activity popular metrics to watch. The U.S. Census puts the homeownership rate at 63.4 percent for the Q2-2015. To put that in context, the highest figure was 69.2 percent in 2004, while the 50 -year average is 65.3 percent. Here is what's happening in your neck of the woods. • New Listings in Edina increased 2.5 percent to 163. • Pending Sales were up 4.7 percent to 112. • Closed Sales increased 0.9 percent to 114. • Days on Market was up 6.4 percent to 83 days. • The Median Sales Price decreased 5.6 percent to $391,775. • Inventory levels grew 8.0 percent to 405 homes. • Percent of List Price Received at Sale decreased 0.4 percent to 97.7 percent. • Months Supply of Inventory was up 8.7 percent to 5.0 months. • Distressed sales made up 3.5 percent of all Closed Sales. • Single -Family homes made up 66.4 percent of all Closed Sales. • New construction properties made up 6.1 percent of all Closed Sales. Barring suddenly negative economic data, the Federal Reserve is poised to normalize rates by lifting the Federal Funds rate off of zero starting in September. Mortgage rates are still just below 4.0 percent, compared with a long-term average of over 7.0 percent. Lower energy costs and solid job growth combined with rising wages helped boost Q2-2015 GDP. Nationally, the economy added 215,000 new private payrolls in July while the unemployment rate held steady at 5.3 percent. The most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the Minneapolis -St. Paul -Bloomington metropolitan area has the third lowest unemployment rate of any major metro.

In that time, I've met with Jim Grube (County Highway Engineer) and members of my community, both in community meetings as well as at my home, to discuss potential improvements to the bump -outs as currently designed. To date we've tested a couple of adaptations to the design, but based on feedback at recent community meetings that Jim has hosted, it's clear that we need to think more expansively about the current situation. Residents, myself included, really think that any adaptation to the current design would still be a poor reflection on the neighborhood ... these traffic elements are just visually unappealing and I am certain are negatively impacting property value. I will be working with Jim and with interested residents in the near future to think through additional alternatives to the current design. I am not an engineer, but I am doing my best to thunk through how to improve upon this situation. I am writing to ask for leadership from the City Council on this matter. Here are some thoughts I'd like you to consider as you think through this issue: db• Please be open to continuing to fund updates and tests to the current bump -out design. I expect some ideas we may generate in the near future will require some partnership from the Council. • More importantly, I really would like the Council to start thinking about how to work with Minneapolis to approach this issue more holistically. Lyndale Ave, also a county road, was able to receive an excellent traffic -control update through thoughtful design and funding. I perceive the issue with Xerxes Ave could have been solved ahead of time if the two Cities had worked together to implement a similar design from the beginning. • Personally, I would really appreciate it if the City Council Members would attend the bump -out community meetings that Jim has been holding. Jim has been working hard on working with us to find acceptable solutions, but the residents' feedback really needs to be heard by the City at this point, and not the County, as really the core issue from the beginning and certainly now (in my opinion) is around City engagement and funding. On a personal note, I've tried to stay engaged in this process for the past year and half, and am probably the Xerxes Ave resident that has met and corresponded with the County the most frequently on this issue. I have a bump -out right outside my home, which has a profoundly negative impact on sight -lines around my property, and thus this is a very important issue for me. I'm sure this is trite to say, and that you hear this perspective often, but I really would ask that you consider whether you'd want these bump -outs in your neighborhood. Finally, I'm open to any advice you have on how I can be more helpful on this issue. I'm working on thinking of solutions on behalf of the community, but the feedback I'm hearing from residents is that we need better solutions. • I appreciate you taking the time to hear my thoughts on this. If at any time you'd like to talk about this in person or believe that it will be discussed at a City Council meeting in the future, I would be more than happy to meet and attend.

The county engineer leading this project did an EXCELLENT job presenting the solution, answering ALL questions, and encouraging attendees to reach out to their representatives to voice their perspectives. At this meeting, I asked what other technologies were evaluated to achieve the goal of pedestrian safety. I got the sense that the bump -out was the strongest candidate due to funding, but there are perhaps better solutions at some expense. I am not clear what those alternatives might be, but I must indicate my dissatisfaction with the implementation of bump outs as currently designed. I think that the work done on Lyndale Ave in the Kingfield neighborhood several years ago is a great model that we should aspire to, assuming we can work out funding. I set aside time to participate in this process, questioned the design, let my point of view be known in the meeting not supporting it, and yet ended up with a bump -out outside of my home (see attached); bad luck. understand that this is how communities make decisions and act on them, but I hope you can consider this context for my feedback, for what it's worth. There appears to be some discussion that the bump -outs, as implemented, did not match expectations set in that meeting. I disagree, as the engineering drawings presented, as I recall them, seem to match the implemented solution exactly. I think perhaps the attendees at the meeting were unable to visualize the solution based on these drawings, which suggests that perhaps in future discussions a more life -like rendering would be helpful. As an aside, communication from the County has been excellent. The engineer responsible for reviewing plans with residents was extremely helpful, took time to meet with me after my work hours, and was conscientious that our neighbors were similarly informed ahead of construction. I appreciate your listening to this feedback, and thanks for representing your constituents.

Our combined Edina Library and Senior Center is a valuable and much used service in our community. That value is partly degraded by a long-standing and clearly recognizable traffic hazard in the building parking area. That safety hazard puts customers, employees, and volunteers at risk daily. Traffic hazard. The perpendicular parking layout (versus and angled layout) and two- way traffic) versus one-way) is what causes the risk to those who use the facility. Those people who are vehicle operators, bicyclists, and pedestrians are vulnerable because of limited backing visibility. With the present perpendicular parking layout, backing visibility is severely limited creating a situation where a driver may back-up into oncoming traffic from two directions. The daily traffic, seven days a week, from morning to evening creates a significant exposure to accidents. Recommendation. For the City to remark the parking area by using an angled parking layout and one-way traffic flow to improve driver visibility an reduce the risk of traffic accidents involving vehicles backing -up. • Remarks. The existing parking stripes appear to need repainting soon so this recommendation, if adopted, could be accomplished then. Prior to that the City may want to do a comprehensive traffic analysis to validate this change or find a different solution for this safety issue.

Liz and Tony Burger My name is Ralph Zickert, I am a 25 year Edina resident and a homeowner on Lake Cornelia past 3 years. I anti opposed to all options as they are currently outlined before the Couti particular the sale of City property. I do however believe there is an accommodation that can bath the Burgers and the Council, 34'hy the strap currently_^gosed, is not appropriate: Most importantly, the proposed swap is opposed by the only neighbor directly affected, Ed ar Hayward. Therefore approval would be to the benefit of one neighbor at the detriment of a with no benefit to the City. Also, as noted in the July14, 2015, Park Lard minutes, no nu supported the swap and three specifically noted the highly irregular configuration as the bi their decision. Six tnernbers expresser) a preference that the burgers pursue a variance. Why a variance is currently not appropriate; The Planning Commissiores minutes of July 22, 2015 noted: "Evert with a variance, the consti would require encn hment into the park land.' (italics and emphasis added) Two iters deserve an answer are: "Did the 20approved variance, which was allowed to expire, re 'encroachment into the park land" and the Planning Commission failed to notice the encroachn have the Burger's, changed their plans since 20087" and 2) has the current addition been fare in plans that have been submitted to the City. I would lupe both these questions could be airi at the council meeting. [possible solution: Appendix A below is a hand sketched representation of a solution that addresses marry expressed concerns. if such an option could be supported by Ed and Ellie Hayward, I toc support it in spite of there being no direct benefit to the City. 1 believe it could be supported Council as a good faith gesture to clear an open conflict with 1) the original development of and 2) current_ building codes. Both of which would be key to moving forward with a unusual transaction. However, if any swap or sale option is approved, I strongly encour, Council to include verbiage that the transaction 1) be contingent upon the Burger's buil second story on the existing house, 2) that similar to an unused variance, the swap would after two years and the land revert back to the City if the addition is not completed, and 3) n variances be requested to acconunodate the addition. I believe- these are all reasonable con ,given the time and effort devoted to the issue by the City and the conditions under which of was requested. And, if the burgers are not in a position to matte such a commitment, then tb . should be tabled until they can. Regards, Appendix A is For the area deeded to the City, extend the existing City lot line, that runs behind the six ho the left of the Burger's, along the same tangent asufficient distance to create an area greater I equal to the smallest area needed to accommodate the proposed addition. For the area dee the Burgers, as was noted in the July 22, 2015, planning Commission Staff Report, provid4 where it is most needed at 'the Narthwst canter of the lwusE'.

For some time, we have been petitioning for the logo sign of our firm to be allowed to be installed facing Highway 100. I see this as a way to highlight our company, the city's support of prominent local businesses, and promote the Edina business base. Our petition has been denied, citing an ordinance allowing signage on only the side of the building facing the official street address. There must be allowances we can • gain, as two other large companies - International Dairy Queen and Regis - have signs on building facings other than their street addresses. As both a resident and employee in the city of Edina, I urge you to reconsider this decision and overrule the Planning Commission. We are a thriving and growing company, and SunOpta has added over 100 jobs to the city in the last year. We should be afforded the same opportunity that other local businesses have enjoyed.

While affordable housing as a concept is targeted at certain low incomes populations, young people who are paying off school loans, getting married, moving ahead on careers and thinking about permanently living here often start by looking for smaller, less expensive housing that fits their current situation. If they cannot find it in Edina, they will live elsewhere and frankly are most likely eventually to permanently settle there and seek employment closer to home. At one time, Edina was a community who attracted professionals and executives in their late 30s and early 40s, not worrying particularly about attracting those in their 20s and early 30s. As the city becoming more urbanized, with more apartment living, with younger people around the country preferring not to pay dearly for space or possessions they don't need, Edina risks being left behind as the world evolves if it doesn't cater to this group. I read with interest about the proposed development at the Walgreen's site. It was • pointed out that the high end units are often rented first. Why would that be? People who already live in Edina with significant financial resources who want to downsize, but not that much, want to have larger, more lavish units - and have the liquidity to move on them without having sold their family homes. With younger people, with more limited resources and less community awareness, it simply takes more time to be made aware of what is out in the community. In a big change in where I now live (the Colony of Edina), we are seeing more and more young couples who cannot afford and don't want the big home - they don't have time or money for it - yet. When they have two children, they will move, but for now, the Colony is as good as option for them as for their elders. Without them, we would have many more vacancies. Likewise, the Walgreens site works well both for long term Edina residents who want to downsize and people who are new to the community. Older households have lots of possessions and want to keep most of them. Younger people are lucky to have furniture and are not that far from crowded dorm rooms. Their expectations in terms of creature comforts are not as high. Frankly, the convenience of being close to work is more important that having a bigger place with a big commute. There is no reason the City Council needs to serve one group to the exclusion of the other. Edina is a more attractive place to work if people can afford housing here - they need to be convinced to come here, while our long-term residents have many, many options and don't want to leave - unless it is to the cabin or somewhere warm. • Of course, Edina does also have a reputation of being very easy to work with from the viewpoint of the developer. If the developer builds bigger, more expensive units, there I are fewer to sell and perhaps a less complicated building design, but if in fact Edina is an in demand community, the city has more leverage in working with developers than it is using. Recently, I read that there was an effort to give developers to buy their way out of building any affordable housing in their projects, with the specifics of the buy-out left undetermined, which leaves the city with one hand tied behind its back when it comes to negotiating a high developer cost for not helping to meet a public priority. If you want more night life at 50th and France, put in a brew pub and build some apartments that are affordable to up and coming 20 and 30 somethings. The mature set that goes for downsizing will only be in the community for a limited period of time, which the younger folks are Edina's long-term future. Of course, for the select few young people who have a lot of money (most typically inherited), they will go directly to the big Edina house, but the bright creative types that will bring new ideas to the community need to have affordable spaces to live, and cutting them out of every project is no way to make that happen.

I bring more than 30 years of work with local government to this position, but more than that, I have a true appreciation and respect for the diversity that exists within Minnesota and a passion for helping cities and communities work together to address challenges and achieve common goals. Taking on a leadership role at LMC is truly a wonderful opportunity, and with your support and guidance, I am confident we will do great things together. My new office at LMC overlooks the state Capitol building in St. Paul, and it's a daily reminder of LMC's critical role in representing all of Minnesota's cities, no matter the size or location. In my first few weeks at the League, I have had the pleasure of stopping by our legislative policy committee meetings to introduce myself to the many members who are involved in helping the League set policies that drive our legislative agenda. I have also had the opportunity to meet with executive directors from many other state municipal leagues, and I can tell you with pride that Minnesota's national reputation for excellence in local government is real and well-recognized. I have traveled to all four corners of Minnesota and have worked on projects with our biggest cities and our smallest. My career began with the Minnesota cities of Belle Plaine and Prior Lake, and I then spent a number of years working for both Dakota County and Scott County. In 2009, I took a position with Springsted, Inc., a public -sector advisory firm. I was fortunate there to gain experience working with municipal clients of all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of challenges, and I loved traveling our state working directly with communities on areas such as organizational development, executive recruitment, facilitation, goal setting, and strategic planning. Along the way, I have continuously worked closely with local government associations, serving on the board of GTS Educational Events and volunteering for a variety of roles and positions in my own community of Eagan. This is no doubt an exciting and challenging time for cities and city leaders. As we begin a new chapter in the League's more than 100 -year history, it is an honor to be leading an organization that has consistently helped Minnesota's communities collaborate and work together to remain strong. I look forward to working with current—and new—friends and colleagues throughout the state and strongly value your ideas and suggestions as we move forward. Please feel free to contact me any time at (651) 281-1205. I'll also be on the road this October for the 2015 LMC Regional Meetings and will be available to answer your questions and hear your ideas in person at all eight locations.

I agree that the roundabout has greatly helped to regulate the traffic at the junction. Having said that, the roundabout near the house is affecting our privacy and has also raised concern about our security. The 70W Street becomes busy during office hours. The traffic entering into the roundabout yields causing them to stop/slow down, thus giving clear direct view of our house and it's lawn to the passengers in the car. If the inside glass door is not blinded, then they can even see what's happening inside the house. We are planning to go out of the country in November for 3 months. The obvious exposure of our house from roundabout increases the chances of people coming to know that no one is present in the house for long time. Anyone with malicious intent can use this information to their advantage. One of my close family friend in Edina had a burglary in his house when he and his family were away for long vacation. This experience has alleviated my fear more for the safety. Lately, I have started to get concerned about the privacy after getting stares and sometimes uninvited attention. Summer is the time when family can spend quality time together in the lawn, doing barbeque, playing etc.. But, we have been getting lots of unwanted glares causing discomfort. I request you to kindly look into it and suggest what could be done. One suggestion that I have is to plant full grown trees around the fence to obstruct the direct view of the passengers into the house. I would appreciate if you could help us with the problem that we are facing due to the roundabout.

Last year, 527 inspirational mayors and city leaders stood up and jointly recognized November 1, 2014, as Extra Mile Day ... a day to recognize the people and organizations who are creating positive change in our communities through their extra mile efforts in volunteerism and service. Proudly, we hold up Edina as a 2014 Extra Mile Day city, and we hope that you will join the mission again by making the proclamation in 2015. (Proclamation language is at the end of this email.) This year, our mission continues ... and builds. Supported by a volunteer staff, Extra Mile -America (www.ExtraMileAmerica.or ) is unwavering in its commitment to remind individuals and organizations that creating positive change is not just a water cooler topic, but it is unselfishly tied to go -the -extra -mile action. We continue to be an organization that casts a bright light on the "Extra Mile Heroes" and change -makers who surround us and who continue to give their best. Started in 2009 by Founder Shawn Anderson and a vision that one person CAN make a difference, Extra Mile Day has grown from 23 participating cities in its inaugural year (2009) ... to an awesome goal of 550 cities this year. Whether it is one elected official or one non -elected government employee, whether it is one citizen or one business with 1,000 amazing people, ONE does make a difference. By declaring November 1, 2015, Extra Mile Day, your city continues to be a part of this nationwide movement. Will you join us again this year and proclaim November 1 as Extra Mile Day? If the Mayor would like to do something beyond a proclamation, we have two options: 1) Submit names of local "Extra Mile Heroes." In addition to a November 1 declaration, submit 1-5 names of amazing extra mile people and/or organizations that are making significant contributions to your city. These people/organizations will be included on our website (ExtraMileAmerica.org) with their specific contribution., and their names will be sent to the White House as extra -mile change makers whose service truly stands out and deserves to be recognized. 2) Submit a quote from your Mayor. In addition to a November 1 declaration, your Mayor's quote of what it personally means to "go the extra mile" will be highlighted on our website and shared with • your local media. We are looking forward to your city once again leading the way, and if there is anything we can do to help you plan something special, we are happy to jump forward with our best effort on your behalf. 0 Can we confirm you as a November 1, 2015, Extra Mile Day city? We look forward to "going the extra mile" with you again! Christine Christine Ott Christine@ExtraMileAmerica.org 310-619-3205 Here is sample wording: EXTRA MILE DAY WHEREAS, (city, state) is a community which acknowledges that a special vibrancy exists within the entire community when its individual citizens collectively "go the extra mile" in personal effort, volunteerism, and service; and WHEREAS, (city, state) is a community which encourages its citizens to maximize their personal contribution to the community by giving of themselves wholeheartedly and with total effort, commitment, and conviction to their individual ambitions, family, friends, and community; and *WHEREAS, (city, state) is a community which chooses to shine a light on and celebrate individuals and organizations within its community who "go the extra mile" in order to make a difference and lift up fellow members of their community; and WHEREAS, (city, state) acknowledges the mission of Extra Mile America to create 550 Extra Mile cities in America and is proud to support "Extra Mile Day" on November 1, 2015. NOW THEREFORE, I, Mayor of (city, state) do hereby proclaim November 1, 2015, to be Extra Mile Day. I urge each individual in the community to take time on this day to not only "go the extra mile" in his or her own life, but to also acknowledge all those who are inspirational in their efforts and commitment to make their organizations, families, community, country, or world a better place. * Proclamations can be scanned and emailed to Christinena,ExtraMileAmerica.or or mailed to 5034 Runway Drive, Fair Oaks, CA 95628.

We are most grateful for your quick and above -and -beyond -the -call response to those trees and for solving the problems they caused for both Dick and us. For the benefit of Mayor Hovland and Mr. Neal: we and Dick Anderson are next door neighbors on the south side of Loch Moor, and our back yards abut the City woods on the north side of Braemar Boulevard. Both Dick and we lost a couple of large trees during the July windstorm, and the downed trees caused a large swath of our back yard in particular to be cut off from the woods (and were also an eyesore). There was some question over whether the trees were on City property or our individual properties and what best to do with the fallen trees. Dick worked closely with Mr. Horwath, who came out, inspected the situation, and last Thursday caused both trees to be cut up, thus opening up the area in our back yard that was obstructed by the downed trees without us needing to do so. We are extremely pleased with Mr. Horwath's efforts on our behalf and wanted to commend him to each of you. It's my understanding from Dick that you are retiring in a few weeks. If that's the case, best wishes on your retirement; we wish you well. And thanks again for your attention to our situation.

Many people who work and study in our community cannot afford to live in our city. Teachers, peace officers, service providers, health-care workers, and many others sustain the vitality of Edina for us - but they cannot afford to live in Edina. The inequity of this situation bothers me greatly. Allowing developers to 'buy their way out' of affordable housing is not in our best interest. This effort to avoid creating 20% of all new housing as affordable will limit access to the middle class, will generate a fund that has no appropriate mechanism for oversight and transparency, and will deny the opportunity for community diversity and growth that ultimately benefits us all. The ongoing practice of 'tear -downs' and the rebuilding of large, expensive homes in areas of previously smaller units requires that something be offered to replace properties that have been lost to the middle class. Indeed, we have lost two key members of the Edina Human Rights and Relations Commission in recent times because they have left Edina for more -affordable housing. I know that you are deeply committed to issues of fairness, equity, and human rights on all counts. I hope you'll •advocate for affordable housing in the immediate future, not for funds to be used at some undefined date. The need exists now. Warmest regards, Ellen Ellen J.

CALL TO ORDER 7:01p.m. II. ROLL CALL Answering Roll Call Glahn, Gubrud, Howard, Manser, Satterlee, Thompson, Zarrin and Chair Kostuch Absent: Anderson Padmanabhan, Seeley, Sierks and Waldwick Staff Present: Ross Bintner, Rebecca Foster and Scott Neal III. APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA. Chair Kostuch changed the Meeting Agenda to the following order. A. Xcel Parnters in Energy B. City Climate Commitment Subcommittee C. Community Solar Subcommittee - Community Solar Advisory D. Street Sweeping E. EEC 2016 Term Workplan (Due September 29th) Motion made by Member Gubrud and seconded by Member Thompson to approve the Meeting Agenda. Motion carried unanimously. IV. ADOPTION OF CONSENT AGENDA • A. Minutes. Member Zarrin requested Lauren's name to be corrected on the RSWG report. B. Attendance report and roster. No Comment. C. Workgroup list and minutes. Member Howard said the Local Food Working Group needs to be removed from the list. The Edina Business Recycling Working Group was combined with the Recycling and Solid Waste Working Group. Motion made by Member Gubrud and seconded by Member Zarrin to approve the Consent Agenda. Motion carried unanimously. V. COMMUNITY COMMENT. No Comment. VI. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Street Sweeping. Paula Kalinosky from Emmons & Oliver Resources, Inc. explained the City's new Street Sweeping Management Plan. The City had a few rules to follow in the SWPPP, but didn't have a plan. The plan is to establish benchmarks to stop pollution getting into Storm Water. There are different benefits to sweeping a street twice a year, monthly or bi-weekly. The City currently sweeps in Spring and Fall with extra routes in Commercial areas. Sweeping was modeled for gross removal, and to account for removal in ponds and wetlands. Current sweeping practice removes 60lbs of phosphorus in Minnehaha Creek and 130lbs in Nine Mile Creek yearly. The City has one regeneration air sweeper and two regular sweepers. The plan recommends upgraded sweepers, increase to monthly sweeping and additional sweeping in high priority watershed areas. B. Community Solar Subcommittee -Community Solar Advisory. Member Gubrud reviewed the Advisory • going to Council. The Subcommittee recommends that the City Develop and Issue a Request for Proposals for a Community Solar Garden Project on the Roof of the Public Works Building. Authorize and direct the City Administrator to have staff and legal counsel develop a Request for Proposals for a Community Solar Garden (CSG -PW) located on the Roof of the Public Works Building. While the City could subscribe to a small portion of the CSG -PW project, the primary intent would be to offer Edina residents the opportunity to become subscribers. This is a project for the City to be a host where Met • Council is a project for the City to be a subscriber. Trevor Drake from Great Plains Institute and Clean Energy Resources Teams will review community solar. He helps people understand what needs to be done for clean energy projects. The Solar Garden at Public Works would be 350kw. The City would share 40% of the power and have 40 residents or 80 half time residents. Mr. Drake said the City should do a Request for Interest rather than a Request for Proposal. Chair Kostuch said community solar has educational value is open to debate given that 1) our existing City Hall panels have failed on that point given their performance issues made a —150 year payback period even worse and 2) the community solar projects are only viable because of the regulatory mandate by the PUC (which will be passed on to Xcel customers in higher rates) and tax benefits which expire on 12/31/2015. Mr. Bintner said he's not supportive of the project, because it takes the City off of its core mission of transportation, sanitation and public safety. Motion made by Member Gubrud and seconded by Member Thompson to approve the Community Solar Garden Project Advisory and add that the City will have a nominal value to it. Members Kostuch and Glahn opposed. Member Howard abstained. Motion carried. C. EEC 2016 Term Workplan (Due September 29th). Chair Kostuch asked each Working Group to meet and review their duties and prioritize what they want to have on the EEC 2016 Workplan. The workplan is due September 29th • D.

Member Zarrin suggested that the Education and Outreach working group write an article on what the City is doing. Motion made by Member Zarrin and seconded by Member Gubrud to approve the temp ECCT and mission. Member Glahn opposed. Motion carried. E. Xcel Partners in Energy. Mr. Neal said Xcel Energy has selected the City of Edina to participate in its "Partners in Energy" program. The broad purpose of the program is to assist and support communities develop and implement an energy action plan that is designed to meet the communities' individual energy needs. There is a need to create a planning team of 12 members mixed with City staff and Community with a City Employee as a Co -Chair. The team will be appointed on August 181h by City • Council with the first meeting to be on September 22"d.

APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES Commissioner Kennedy moved to approve the June 23, 2015 minutes. Commissioner Burza seconded. Motion passed. V. COMMUNITY COMMENT Commissioner Kennedy introduced Eli, a new staff member at World Without Genocide and recent graduate of Carleton College. Kennedy stated that he will be working with her on the annual Days of Remembrance event. Commissioner Vecchio -Smith arrived at 7:09 p.m. VI. GUEST PRESENTER: Nekima Levy -Pounds Commissioner Kennedy let the Commission know that Ms. Levy -Pounds was unable to attend the evening's meeting to present best practices on cities avoiding discrimination. Commissioner Kennedy suggested that she could contact Sarah Walker, who is involved in the MN Second Chance Coalition and the Prison Policy Initiative, as an alternative guest speaker, and in addition, we could pursue a member of the Civil Rights Division of the FBI in Minneapolis as a speaker. 0 The Commission decided that they would try to schedule Sarah Walker for the • December 10'' meeting as it will be televised. The Commission agreed that they also wanted to try to have a staff person from the FBI present, but agreed to wait until the October 27h meeting, as the annual work plan will be complete by that meeting. VII. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Work Plan Updates a) Community Outreach: Commissioner Burza stated that there will be a series of meetings beginning in the first two weeks of October and that the preparation will begin in August. The flyer has been updated to be more persuasive in order to illicit more of a response and that the flyer will be disseminated in areas where certain demographics are likely to identify with the issues and topics. Mary Manderfeld of Edina Public Schools was present at the July 17 meeting of the working group and offered that the schools could perhaps host meetings as the demographics of those attending Edina Public Schools have changed. Commissioner Burza also noted that the working group is considering whether it is possible to offer daycare in order to entice and enable more people to come, especially those who have younger children. b) Human Rights City Designation: Commissioner Kennedy said she is putting • together a list of Edina organizations where presentations could be scheduled that includes faith, educational and civic groups. The Edina League of Women Voters has been scheduled for two presentations. The plan is to contact HRRC Commissioners individually to learn about organizations to which commissioners have connections for additional presentation venues. c) Affordable Housing: Commissioner Winnick updated the Commission on the current status of the Affordable Housing Policy. He stated that the City Council asked that the matter be taken off the agenda at their previous meeting because they wanted to create a clause in the policy that would allow developers to make a cash payment in -lieu of developing the 20% quota of affordable units. Such a provision appears to be directly contrary to what the Commission wants to see established in Edina. Commissioner Winnick presented draft language for a second advisory communication to be sent to City Council to voice our opposition to the payments in -lieu -of policy. Commissioner Kennedy asked if members of the HRRC should reach out directly to individual members of the City Council to voice their disapproval of the proposed provision. 0 • Staff liaison Lamon replied that the Commission as a whole could try to complete a form of correspondence by the next meeting. Commissioner Winnick noted that the advisory communication would have to be submitted by the end of the next business day. Commissioner Winnick also noted that any communications from the HRRC must go through the proper communications channels, but individual commissioners can voice their concerns as individuals and not speaking for the Commission as a whole. Commissioner Vecchio -Smith stated that she opposed the new provision, but if the Affordable Housing Policy were to be passed with it included, she would like the formula to be more structured. Chair Arseneault asked how the issue can be reframed in a memo to the City Council. Commissioner Kennedy replied that rational arguments may not work on such an emotional issue so must appeal to those emotions. The Commission agreed to reframe the issue as a personal one; and that it would be more effective to express the issue as Edina's need for housing for its • workforce — for teachers, firefighters, and retail employees. Commissioners agreed that the Affordable Housing committee will finalize the advisory communication by tomorrow, to express our concern and opposition to the inclusion of a payment in -lieu fee. d) ADA Event Proposal: Commissioner Vecchio -Smith stated that she has not had the opportunity to speak to her friend regarding the impacts of the ADA. Commissioner Vecchio -Smith does have another interesting source that could be used as her sister is a board member of the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens and has been involved in policy issues through that. She noted that a series of anecdotes about what the law means for a deaf person in Edina could be used for the blog about impact of the ADA law. B. Tom Oye Award Procedure Review Commissioner Rinn presented her report on Tom Oye Award procedure that identified seven issues and potential solutions. The Commission thanked Commissioner Rinn for her good work. Motion by Commissioner Winnick to accept all of the recommendations as written with the exception of #6 and to amend recommendation #6 so that 0 members can make nominations and vote, but recuse themselves from • discussions. Seconded by Commissioner Kennedy. Motion passed. C. Website Proposal Commissioner Tian updated the Commission on recent changes to the website that he is requesting be made. He stated that the last paragraph on the HRRC webpage should be a conclusion paragraph about the Commission as a whole. Also, an Archive section will be created to house older accomplishments of the HRRC. Motion by Commissioner Kennedy to approve the website changes with amended edits and to include the work plan and archive section on the site. Seconded by Commissioner Winnick. Motion passed. D. Capitol Art Project Chair Arseneault advised the Commission that she and Staff Liaison Lamon attended a meeting with representatives from other human rights commissions in surrounding communities regarding art at the state Capitol building. Jim Bear Jacobs, a member of the Turtle Clan of Mohican Nation and a member of the Healing Minnesota Stories group was the guest speaker. Jim Bear advised that the legislative Capitol Preservation Committee formed an art subcommittee to make recommendations regarding art at the Capitol. Much of the existing art is offensive as it inaccurately depicts history and is an inaccurate portrayal of indigenous peoples. Jim Bear's group wants to bring awareness of this opportunity during the Capitol restoration to influence what the art may look like at the Capitol, including the idea that the Capitol art should reflect the diversity of Minnesota. Chair Arseneault said it is unknown at this time how the art subcommittee will conduct its review, receive public input and form its recommendations, but we should learn more after the subcommittee meets. Chair Arseneault noted that the initiative will be tracked and updates provided as available. Commissioner Kennedy asked if a note could be sent as a Commission voicing support for their work. Commissioner Winnick asked if this topic has been or should be referred to the Edina Public Art Committee as they may be able to play some role in future discussions regarding the topic. Chair Arsenault also will circle back with other commissions to see if there is opportunity to coordinate any action on the issue. E. 2016 Work Plan Staff Liaison Lamon let the Commission know that the August meeting would be devoted to developing the 2016 work plan and that members should be ready with ideas for discussion. VIII. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITION No discussion took place, there being no correspondence. IX. CHAIR AND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Kennedy informed Commissioners of an opportunity to attend an upcoming annual meeting of Forward Global Women, and an opportunity for high school and college students to attend a summer institute on Religions and Genocide. Chair Arseneault gave an update about a bias offence incident reported at Concord Elementary School. A derogatory and offensive word was written in lotion by the parking lot and had been investigated by Edina Police. Arseneault reviewed the Bias Offense response process and how it has been followed thus far. The next step is for Arseneault to initiate contact with Gwen Jackson of Edina Public Schools, and see what type of response or follow up may be desired. 0 X. STAFF COMMENTS Staff Liaison Lamon stated that staff is looking at the Boards and Commissions bylaws and proposing a few technical changes that should have no impact on how the HRRC operates.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Sketch Plan Review. Walgreens. 4916 France Avenue and 3918 49 % St., Edina, MN Planner Presentation Planner Teague reported that the Planning Commission is asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to redevelop the .64 acre parcel at 4916 France Avenue and 3918 49-1/2 Street West. The applicant is requesting consideration of a proposal to tear down the existing Walgreens store on France and retail building on 49-1/2 Street, and redevelop it with a new Walgreens store on the first level and 4 levels of residential above. The Page 11 building would be five stories tall and have two levels of underground parking (64 stalls) for residents and an enclosed surface level parking lot (20 stalls) for Walgreens. Continuing, Teague pointed out details of the project would include; 64 units — 100 units per acre ➢ FAR of 3.03 ➢ Parking ratio of 1/1 for the residential units ➢ 14,265 square foot new Walgreens store with a drive-thru ➢ Amenities in the apartments include: second story outdoor terrace; fitness room, club room, roof terrace. Teague explained that the pedestrian entrance to the new Walgreens would be on the corner of France and 49-1/2 Street, in the same location as today. Walgreens would have automobile entrances on France and 49-1/2 Street. The drive-through entrance would be off France Avenue. Teague stated at this time there is no detail yet provided on the drive-through. It appears there would be adequate space to provide 4 stacking spaces behind the drive-through window. Width of the drive -aisle and stacking lane need to be verified. (See page ASa.) The pedestrian entrance to the residential units would be off 49-1/2 Street, and the automobile entrance off of France Avenue. The automobile access to France would be subject to approval of Hennepin County. Teague said to accommodate the request, three amendments to the Comprehensive is Plan would be required as follows: Building Height — from 4 stories and 48 feet tall to 5 stories and 65 feet tall. ➢ Housing Density — from 30 units per acre to 100. ➢ Floor Area Ratio — from 1.5 to 3.03. Continuing, Teague explained a rezoning of the two properties to PUD, Planned Unit Development is requested Teague concluded that staff concerns include density, height and lack of affordable housing. The proposed density triples what is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan; consideration must be given to allowing that high of a density not only at 50`h and France, but Grandview and the Promenade/Centennial Lakes Area which are also guided MXC. Given the request for this high of a density, 20% of the units should be provided for affordable housing. Appearing for the Applicant Gretchen Camp and Scott Olson, BKV Group Chair Platteter asked Planner Teague to give a brief summary of what a Sketch Plan • Review encompasses. Teague responded that the Sketch Plan Review process provides the applicant the ability to briefly explain their vision with nonbinding comments from Page 12 • the Commission/Council. The applicant would process the "feedback" and if desired submit a formal application. Commissioner Nemerov asked Planner Teague when neighbors or other interested parties are invited to speak to the issue. Teague explained if/when a formal application is made the City requires the applicant to 1) post a sign on the site informing the public of the proposal, 2) publish notice in the Sun Current; and 3) provide a mailed notice to property owners within 1000 -feet highlighting the project. Commissioner Halva suggested if the applicant proceeds with a formal application a shadow study be a submittal requirement. Planner Teague responded that's a terrific suggestion, and asked the applicants to note Commissioner Halva's suggestion. Applicant Presentation Ms. Camp delivered a presentation and submitted to Commissioners the following: 1) Sustainable design strategies; 2) Preliminary Concept Review; and 3) Responses to the Working Principles and Supporting Questions. Continuing, Camp explained the project is a 5 -story podium style mixed use development with 64 rental units and 14,265 square feet of retail on the first floor. This proposal is 100 units per acre with a floor area ratio (FAR) of 3.03. The site also contains 20 surface covered parking stalls to support the retail element of the project, and 64 underground parking spaces to accommodate • the housing. Camp said as mentioned by Planner Teague a rezoning is requested along with amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Camp further reported that the development team is meeting with the County to discuss access and traffic flow. Camp concluded in their opinion the proposal is a great mixed use that brings people into the area to live and work. Mr. Olsen with graphics pointed out the architectural features of the proposed building including the podium concept, terraces with green elements, recessed balconies and common courtyard. He told the Commission to pay close attention to the 5th floor because it is recessed farther and is difficult to see. Continuing, Olsen explained the exterior building materials would primarily be brick to complement the district; however, the building would have its own character. Olsen further noted that the sidewalks along both West 49`h '/z Street and France Avenue would be widened to accommodate street trees, pedestrian lighting, and street furnishings (benches). Olsen said that all plans are preliminary. niceliccinn Chair Platteter asked the development team to explain what the "give to get" is with this development. Ms. Camp responded this redevelopment infill optimizes the use of the infrastructure • and introduces into the neighborhood 100 new residents that will live, shop, bike and generally support the established 50`h and France Avenue district. Camp said they Page 13 • believe Walgreen's is also an amenity not only for the future residents of the building but for the entire 50`h and France Avenue neighborhood. Camp explained the corner will be enhanced; adding this corner is really a "gateway" into the district. The location of the building close to amenities and public transportation should reduce the need for vehicles to "come and go". Camp said a traffic study is in the works, adding initial feedback is that the proposed development shouldn't be a dramatic impact on the area. Camp reiterated the street scape will be improved and the site will be attractive to a number of different people to include seniors. Concluding, Camp noted the increase in the public tax base and the sustainable designs including urban reuse of the infrastructure is a huge benefit to the community. Commissioner Thorsen asked if a price point has been established for the project. Ms. Camp responded that she sees rent pricing at $2.00 + per foot, adding per square foot is usually higher for smaller units. Commissioner Carr said in her opinion it's a lovely design and questioned the materials used on the north elevation and the purpose of the white block elements on the north facade. Mr. Olsen responded those elements encase the stairwell and the brick will extend to the rear. Continuing Carr asked the development team if they ever considered reducing the amount of one bedroom units to provide more 2+ bedroom units. Mr. Olsen responded that the market analysis indicates a larger demand for one bedroom units. Ms. Camp explained that people are also single longer and this site will • be attractive to seniors with grown children. Camp further reported that in Minneapolis when unit count per acre exceeds code requirements a variance is requested. Commissioner Carr told the development team to note that Edina is a different market and larger units may be preferred. Commissioner Nemerov asked what the density ratios are in the Metro Area. Ms. Camp responded that in Minneapolis and St. Paul they see densities upwards of 120 units per acre. She further noted that the density can go higher if density bonuses are added. Camp reiterated 120 units per acre is common; however, she acknowledged Edina's ratio is much less. Nemerov further asked the development team if they ever drove this stretch of France Avenue going north. He stated it's difficult at best. Concluding, Nemerov asked if the City's ramp would be impacted by this proposal. Planner Teague responded if a formal application is made the City would order a traffic study that will look at the impact of this project on the City ramps, immediate neighborhood and the greater area at large; present and future. Chair Platteter stated in his opinion the proposed building is too large for this area; it's not Minneapolis, reiterating 5 -stories are too much. Platteter said he can't envision support for such a high density development. He acknowledged 30 units per acre may be too low; however, 100, in his opinion is way over. Continuing, Platteter asked about affordability, noting the goal for the City is to provide affordable housing, adding it should be reconsidered here. Concluding, Platteter asked the development team if they • spoke to the City about the abutting City parcels and the feasibility of working together on redevelopment. Ms. Camp responded they spoke with the City about adjacent Page 14 • parcels. Planner Teague suggested that the Commission request that the City Council consider discussing redevelopment options with the applicant. Commissioner Forrest stated in her opinion the height of the building and the lack of affordable housing is a problem. She also noted that access is very tricky and agreed with Commissioner Nemerov that traffic gets pretty messy in this area. Continuing, Forrest said the wider sidewalks area a benefit; however, in her opinion aren't wide enough to accommodate seating. Forrest further suggested that the entrance into Walgreens be covered and that the window glazing be rethought — Forrest said that what Edina wants to see along street frontages is human activity and the windows depicted doesn't provide that human scale and movement. Forrest said she appreciates the improvements along West 49 '/z th Street. She further suggested that the development team consider noise pollution from condensers and if/when they return with a formal application indicate measureable sustainable elements. Concluding, Forrest stated traffic is also a concern at this corner. Commissioner Thorsen reported that he loves the plan; however, is concerned with density. He noted affordable housing units is a bonus to achieve higher density, adding he e could consider higher density with affordable housing. Continuing, Thorsen said as mentioned previously traffic in a big concern and traffic flow, access etc. should be carefully considered. It's not easy on France Avenue at this corner. Commissioner Hobbs stated he agrees with previous comments from Commissioners. 40 Hobbs further asked the development team to articulate how this proposal will improve the health and welfare of the residents and general public it serves. Commissioner Lee stated if the development team wants an increase in density there needs to be incentives. Lee stated this location offers many opportunities to do something great, something nice, adding this corner can become the anchor. Lee asked the development team if Walgreens would own or lease the site. The development team responded that Walgreen's would lease the tenant space. Lee further stated that in her opinion the proposal does a great job on the housing; however, street level is lacking in detail. Lee said in her opinion much could be done to enhance the facade at street level. She said as depicted it's just a straight wall; there is no relief or architectural features added to soften its mass. She also suggested that in the design they consider what would happen if Walgreen's doesn't work out; adding they should consider smaller retail spaces. Concluding, Lee stated at formal application she would like to see a shadow study, more attention paid to the first floor architectural to create a more interesting space. She said the proposed "wedding cake" design of rental housing above retail is becoming common in other communities. It would be nice to see something unique to the character of 50`h and France. Brick is not the only material that can define existing character. She stressed that the development team needs to pay close attention to the corner, anchor it, and create a gateway. Lee further added she hopes to see affordable units added to the building. Page 15 Chair Platteter thanked the development team for their input adding he looks forward to formal submittal; however, this development places a lot on this spot. B. Sketch Plan Review. Best Buy Site. 3101 West 66`h Street, Edina, MN. Planner Presentation Planner Teague reported that the Planning Commission is asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to redevelop the 2 acre parcel at 3101 66`h Street West and 6612 Xerxes Avenue. The applicant is proposing to tear down the existing vacant Best Buy building and single-family home, and redevelop it with a six -story 210 unit apartment with a 3,800 square foot restaurant. The building would have one level of underground parking. Details of the project include: ➢ 210 units — 104 units per acre ➢ FAR 2.2 ➢ Parking ratio of I / I for the residential units — 210 for residents and 63 for the restaurant ➢ 3,800 square foot restaurant and outdoor dining ➢ Health and fitness center ➢ Community cafe ➢ Pool ➢ Small park Teague noted that the entrance to the site would be off Southdale Circle and Xerxes Avenue. The single-family home site would be primarily utilized by a small park. To accommodate the request, two amendments to the Comprehensive Plan would be required: Building Height — from 4 stories and 48 feet tall to 6 stories and 70+ feet tall; and Housing Density — from 75 units per acre to 104. Teague said a rezoning of all the property to PUD, Planned Unit Development is also requested. Continuing, Teague pointed out this property is located within an area of the City that is designated as a "Potential Area of Change" within the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan states that within the Potential Areas of Change, "A development proposal that involves a Comprehensive Plan Amendment or a rezoning will require a Small Area Plan study prior to planning application. However, the authority to initiate a Small Area Plan rests with the City Council." The City Council is therefore requested to determine if a Small Area Plan is necessary. A study is currently underway in this area as part of the Planning Commission's work plan. Teague further noted that the France Avenue Southdale Area Development Principles have been shared with the applicant. They have been asked to address each of the • principles with any formal application. Teague presented graphics of the project and introduced the development team. Pete Keely, College Architects and Kurt Krumenauer, Page 16 • Midwest Apartment Brokers Applicant Presentation Mr. Krumenauer, informed the Commission their intent is to develop this site as a "Gateway" corner through density, quality of design and aligning with the 66`h Street Urban Corridor Revitalization. Mr. Keely said as mentioned by Mr. Krumenauer the intent is to create a gateway and to express something larger and bold. The proposed plan takes advantage of the curve at York Avenue and West 66`h Street by establishing a linear park. The plan holds the building edge at street level and provides a series of walk-ups and stairways. Continuing, Keely reported that the site consists of three properties and the existing buildings would be removed, adding the proposed building is C shaped and can be viewed as two building areas. The proposal is for a mixed use project with a 210 -unit (4 -6 -stories) apartment building with a 3,800 square foot restaurant and 1,200 square feet of office space with parking access directed off of Southdale Circle. The site includes 273 parking stalls. Continuing, Keely added the exterior materials are proposed as stone; larger pieces of Glass. As previously mentioned a linear park in proposed along with terraces and walk- up units. Continuing, with graphics Keely highlighted for the Commission aspects of the proposed • redevelopment. In conclusion, Krumenauer said their intent is to develop something special, adding they have been working on this project for two years and believe what's presented is a good project and would appreciate feedback from the Commission. Discussion Chair Platteter pointed out this proposal "asks" for a lot and questioned what the City "gets" with this project. Mr. Keely responded that the density provides the building with the financial means to do an upscale project that will include the linear park and the addition of another park/open space on the south end. Exterior building materials are enhanced. Another point is that with this project the development team is trying to keep the rents reasonable while creating a life style choice providing walkability, exercise and community area near fabulous amenities. Commissioner Forrest commented that she finds the design attractive and interesting; however there's a lot going on especially on the south side (Taco Bell). Forrest said it appears that the south park/open space area while a great idea looks quickly added. Concluding Forrest said she's also not sure on height. Mr. Keely said it would be very important for the team to know where the Commission stands on building height. Page 17 Commissioner Carr said she too finds the design interesting and agrees this site is a "gateway" into the Southdale area. She further added that she thinks it was a good idea to drop the building height along Xerxes Avenue. Carr asked if they have settled on the type of stone indicated for exterior materials. Mr. Keely said that hasn't been decided yet; however he believes it may be Kasota stone, or something similar but not as white. Continuing, Keely said the curved fa4ade is about making a statement. Chair Platteter said he agrees this is a gateway, adding he is intrigued with the curved facade; however, wants the team to remember the project is also a gate to the residential properties on Xerxes Avenue. Continuing, Platteter said that he is worried about access and parking on Xerxes Avenue. He also suggested that shadow studies be done before formal application. Mr. Keely asked Chair Platteter where he envisions apartment vehicle access. Platteter responded that in his opinion they should look at West 66`h Street. Mr. Krumenauer interjected that he spoke with representatives from the City of Richfield and they too indicated they would like the access moved to West 66`h Street. Platteter said to him that access point is a key piece, adding the City needs to look out for everyone. Commissioner Nemerov said he is hesitant on the walk-up apartments. He said if walk- up units aren't located in a residential pedestrian setting in his opinion they can look odd. Continuing, Nemerov said he also has a concern that the subject site could become an island if redevelopment doesn't occur to the south and asked the team if they considered more retail, adding it is important in this area to consider how "people get here and is there". Mr. Keely said he agrees that walk-ups can appear odd or out of place; however, he believes if they get this corner "right" over time the area will evolve. Chair Platteter said a good point mentioned is pedestrian flow. Platteter said this site needs more work on walkability. Mr. Keely said he believes the linear park along West 66`h Street would encourage walkability and pedestrian movement. Keely explained the linear park would be a razed up walkway above the traffic zone that can move people through it, either to access their apartment or during a neighborhood walk. Commissioner Carr asked if they have decided if the linear park would have steps or would it be constructed on an incline. She said how it is constructed would make a difference. Mr. Keely said they are still refining aspects of the park, adding they want that edge softened. Carr said she doesn't want to see a huge wall along that portion of the site, adding she wants it to look attractive from the street. Commissioner Lee said she also finds the proposal intriguing and different. She added she likes the "light quality" of the proposal as it approaches Xerxes Avenue. Lee agreed that the team should look at a West 66`h Street access vs. Xerxes Avenue. She said in her opinion the access indicated on the plans is too close to the residential properties on Xerxes Avenue. Continuing, Lee said the scale of the project can be broken up through exterior building materials. She said attention should be paid to the east and south elevations before formal application and suggested adding water feature somewhere on the site. She said she envisions kids splashing in a fountain on a warm Page 18 0 day; and the outdoor area not just grass and a few trees. Commissioner Hobbs suggested that they work hard to create a more interactive site, pointing out this corner is very prominent, adding he likes the fact that the proposed building is different and innovative. Concluding, Hobbs suggested developing a site that brings the public in; is welcoming. Commissioner Forrest said in thinking about the "island" aspect of the site she suggested that they take advantage of all opportunities to bring people in; reducing "our" car culture. She suggested that they look at everything and anything they can to get people in, get people walking.
