Ile introduced Mr. Robert Cerney and Mr. The from Cerney Associates. Mr. Cerney noted that the site has some problems, one is its curious configuration and the other is the deep depression near the center of the site. Because of the depression, we would have the opportunity for underground parking. The proposal is for a 14 story apartment building with approximately 240 units. The request will be for R-5 zoning and there will be some setback variances needed. After some discussion Mr. Hiett moved that the Commission acre t the U:-oposal for study.

Hoisington reported that the Village is doing a great deal of work in the 50th and France area and we hope that what we are doing will be benefic±al to the whole area. WIQ.n we started this project, much couNideration was Given to Halifax Avenue and the traffic problems it has. As; %;e :see it, we have two ways to handle the problem: (1) we can close the street and cul de sac it, or (2) we can have a highly restricted intersection which will discourage its use by commercial traffic. Mr. Wells, 5124 Halifax Avenue, indicated that the closing of the street would eliminate a number of problems and he was in favor of its cicsaing . miss Holtaxa, 5117 Halifax, indicated that she was not against the closing of the street, but t.htit it would be inconvenient for the people who pick her up twice weekly. Mrs. Spaulding, 5121 Halifax, stated that she would be inconvenienced by the closing, but it would eliminate the heavy traffic and she would find other ways to get to the shopping area. Mrs. W. Hauck, 5029 Indinnola Avenue,, presented her reasons why she and tater neighborEa were against the closing of Halifax Avenue. The biggeut reason was t1 -.,a -i: it wtat3 felt that the traffic that went down Ilal._�.fax now would use Tndianoia Avenue and the street was a subresidential et_;reet .and could not hmandlw heavy-raffic• She nlso indicated that there was considerable traffic +cn 52nd and Indianola and that it would increase c4;.w;iderably with the closing of Avenue. a 4'e-1.11fan Avenue nesidant., srata-J that Halifax eras {t strn.$;1.: da:!:Lr .lad armla was T:4t and that: was vhy 1= 'o;and as it (i -id. lie said that -mi ch of the traffic or. lar 9ii`a , cta� rcmi Hirm-!-spolis people a3 well as those who could travel F,?ol.i,: N', ?,7e'.f:a le.

EDTYA PI-X;NZNG COMIISSiON STAFF REPORT May 22, 1969 Z-69-9 Edina Recaty. Request rezoning from R-1 to 0-1, southwest corner of 51st cod France Avenue. Refer to: Enclosed map. Edina Realty has an option to buy a 31,400 square foot site south of the proposed ring route (W. 51St) on Prance Avenue. The site has an average depth of 150 feet and frontage on France of approximately 225 feet. It encompasses four existing home sites, one of which was made vacant by removal of the structure. Edina Realty wishes to build a 13,200 square foot, two story office building on it with parking at the ground level. The plan calls for the building to set but 10 feet from the front property line and for a five foot depression of the parking at the south end of the building. A retaining wall is proposed along the south end of the site and a screen wall is proposed along France Avenue. The intent in moving the building forward is to hide, as Bauch as possible, the parking area beneath. Variances will be necessary if the zoning is approved. As stated, the building will encroach on the required front setback to the extent of 25 feet. Furthermore, while the floor area ratio is but .42 (ordinance sets maxiumum of .50), the lot coverage require- ment is exceeded (30% m�:ximtm coverage) because the office floor area is all can one letrel. The staff feels both variances are Justified since we are dealing with a commercial situation (lesser setbacks to north, higher cost land, etc.) and not a typical office building (rak land) situation. The intent of the ordinance would be met in all instances. We, of course, intend to acquire a portion of the site in question for the proposed new road. We are negotiating with the ow,-ner to buy 5,400 as}uare feet and he is interested in having the zoning matter resolved before we complete the transaction. This is the principle reason for this special meeting. Zoning in the area is R. 1 on three sides and C-2 on the north (Hauschi?d Bldg.). If you will recall, a C-4 request was reccatly denied by the Planning Co=ission and Council for this same si.tw, min=us the south 66 feet. Z-69-9 Staff Report May 22, 1969 Edina Realty has no intention of building this year. They would PTefez only to get the zoning, remove the structures and use the site for parking during the period of ramp construction. Needless to say, this will help relieve the parking problem we know still exist during construction. Recce me.•ndatlona The staff reccmends approval of the rezoning for the following reasotw : I. Stich rezoning could be very much an accord with our policy of transitional zoning between existiug commercial and residential areas. 2. Such rezoning would help implement the plan for the 50th and France area. f?h a W 3O': U 0 4 • lfl C .yrs >?. •r P`•�� `� ' 3 h (b ;;��y7yc art�'�.n I C...•� � 00 _.� D 4 ®i S7 r, i. 1 �, i•��1yr,:4,1 ^ ` Ji l I ..a 115 2 90 2 -5 22c Il0 - a� .44 W. 51 St es JJ 7 �ZQ r, r _ ... __..I r3' .. .✓o o.'S .. 3. i- J L^'1�1.' f ,Gi ,CS i r ,q5 � 'j �•r JJ a. rn" ij 51 .SI Jin q n rI ,5 'in iG, 3': -- r J ( r n r � U � 1� Lu Icy 15 r f r -i i 1 4 r 1'. �. r YYti d:� ; ..✓ . d �':�.✓ tir I ' — 3z 59 I z 3 ' r C j4 J r ti^ • r 1 Gi qui G3 Z 16.q Q al i �r I Sc r c� In5 So ;__ jc . i-� iu qq ���cl I r �C r O ! tie , - ' �-5 � .1 � .•� r• ' - -' t 35 3 5; 7 37 iy 36 tl� 33 32 2C7 iJ �1 q R otib �1 < 5�•y 3i w 9 33 �" ; . 30 i0 t. i I 1 v vc"i. ci �` it 27 -- J J.

Hoisington SUBJECT: Automobile Parking District Ordinance Since m are embarking on the construction of a parking ramp in the 50th and France area, it would seem appropriate that we modify our outdated Automobile Parking District regulations to permit a parking structure to be built. The present regulations permit ground level parking only and are sadly lacking in standards. He would, therefore, recommend a camplete revamping of the District as follows: Section 6 Automobile Parking District 1. Objectives of Automobile Parkigg District. The purposes of this section are to insure the preservation of existing off-street parking facilities; to provide accessory parking for commercial, office, medical, residential, and municipal uses without extending the parent district's boundaries; and to serve as a transitional use between high and low intensity uses of land. 2. Boundaries of Automobile Parking,,District. The Automobile Parking District shall include the following described lands: Same Descriptions. 3. Specific Uses Permitted in District. In the Automobile Parking District only the following structures and uses shall be permitted: a) Princigal Uses. (1) Street level parking lots. (2) Parking structures or ramps not to exceed a height of four stories above the average surrounding ground level. (3) Drive-in backing facilities t4hich are located outside the principal structure. 4 restrictions or Uses Permitted wiehin the -Automobile Parking District. a) Structural Setbacks. No parking ramp may be built closer than 50 feet to a R-1 Single-family Residential District boundary. b) Parking Design Standards. All parking facilities shall be surfaced and maintained with ra hard, all weather, dust free surfacing material. All parsing facilities shall be designed In accordance with the standards established in the Zoning District to which this district is accessary, regarding striping, screening., setbacks, 'length and width of stalls and isle widths.

Southwest Corner 14. 51st Street and France Avenue. Edina Realty has an option to buy a 31,400 square foot site south of the proposed ring route (W. 51st) on France Avenue. The site has an average depth of 140 feet and frontage on France of approximately 225 feet. It encompasses four existing home sites, one of which was made vacant by removal of the structure. Edina Realty wishes to build a 13,200 square !Foot, two story office building on it with parking at the ground level. The plan calla for the building to set but 10 feet from the front property line and for a five foot depression of the .parking at the south end of the building. A retaining wall is proposed along the south end of the site and a screen wall is proposed along France Avenue. The intent in moving the building forward is to hid% asmuch as possible, the parking area beneath. Zoning in the area is R-1 on three rides and C-2 on the north (Hauschild Bldg.). A C-4 request was recently denied by the Planning Commission and Council for this; same site, minus the south 66 feet. The Staff recoamends approval. After considerable discussion as to where commercial and office development should strap, and about our policy of containment of commercial development in the 50th and France area, the matter was continued to the June 4 regular sleeting.
