ADJOURNMENT PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # VI.B Cary Teague June 13, 2012 Community Development Director INFORMATION/BACKGROUND Project Description Ken and Brett Johnson, the owners of the Eden Avenue Grill are requesting a 9.3 -foot front street setback variance to construct Cabreeze addition over the existing patio located on the south side of their restaurant located at 5101 Arcadia Avenue. (See location on pages Al A5.) The proposed Cabreeze structure is a four season porch type structure that would have a retractable roof. The addition would be constructed to match the colors of the existing building. (See the proposed building renderings on page A7.) The proposed addition would be setback 25.7 feet from the right-of-way of the exit ramp; the required setback is 35 feet, therefore, a Variance is requested. There are no changes proposed to the existing parking lot and drive -aisles. (See the applicant narrative and plans on pages A6—A18.) Based on the existing and proposed seating in the restaurant, there would be adequate parking on the site to accommodate the proposed addtion. There would be a seating capacity of 117 and a maximum of nine employees on a maximum shift, therefore, 48 parking stalls are required. The site plan demonstrates 49 parking stalls. (See pages A9 and A13.) SUPPORTING INFORMATION Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Children's Heart Link; zoned PCD -2 and guided for mixed use. Easterly: Highway 100/entrance/exit ramp. Southerly: Office Building zoned POD -2 and guided for mixed use. Westerly: The old Public Works site; zoned PID and guided for mixed use. Existing Site Features The subject property is 34,617 square feet in size and contains the Eden Avenue Grill. (See pages A3—A5.) Planning Guide Plan designation: Mixed Use Zoning: PCD -2, Planned Commercial District Compliance Table *Variance Required Primary Issue Is the proposed setback variance justified? 2 City Standard Proposed Buildina Setbacks Front — Eden Avenue 35 feet 40+ feet Side Street — Freeway ramp 35 feet 50+ feet 25.7 feet* Side Street — Freeway ramp 35 feet 25 feet 100+ feet Side — North Building Height 4 stories or 1 story and 16 feet 48 feet, whichever is less Floor Area Ratio 1.5 .12 Parking Lot & Drive Aisle Setbacks Front — Eden Avenue 20 feet 25 feet (existing) Side Street — Freeway ramp 20 feet 12 feet (existing) 35 feet (existing) Side Street — Freeway ramp 20 feet 10 feet 5 feet (existing) Side — North Parking Stalls 48 — based on 117 seat seating 49 capacity & 9 employees on a maximum shift Overstory Trees 18 required 30 existing (number is based on the perimeter of the entire development site) *Variance Required Primary Issue Is the proposed setback variance justified? 2 Yes. Per Section 850.04.Subd.1.F., of the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the strict enforcement of the ordinance would cause undue hardship. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal meets the variance standards, when applying the three hardship tests: 1) Are there practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements? Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may include functional and aesthetic concerns. Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable. The proposed addition would enclose an area that is currently used as a patio today. (See page A8—A9.) There would be no hardcover addition to the site. Also, the addition would face the exit ramp from Vernon and the Highway 100 entrance ramp. Further south is an office building located 154 feet away. The addition would not have a significant visual impact in the area. The practical difficulty in this situation is the existing location and layout of the existing restaurant would prevent the addition to be located on the site to meet the required setback and still function for the restaurant. If the addition was to be located on the east or north side of the building, parking stalls would be lost. If it were located on the west of the building a variance would also be required. 2) Are there circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? Yes. The unique circumstance is the sites location with road right-of-way on three sides of the lot, which reduces the buildable area on the site. 3) Would the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The proposed variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The addition would replace an existing patio, and is adjacent a roadway exit ramp. There is a 154 -foot separation between the nearest office building to the south. Staff Recommendation Approve the requested 9.3 -foot setback variance to construct a Cabreeze retractable roof addition to the existing Eden Avenue Grill at 5101 Eden Avenue for Ken and Brett Johnson. Approval is based on the following findings: 1) With the exception of the variances requested, the proposal would meet the required zoning ordinance standards. 2) The seating capacity of the existing restaurant and addition would comply with the City of Edina's parking regulations. 3) The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance, because: a. The proposed use is reasonable. The addition would enclose an area that is currently used as a patio today. There would be no hardcover addition to the site. The addition would face the exit/entrance ramp from Arcadia and Highway 100. Further south is an office building located 154 feet away. The addition would not have a significant visual impact in the area. b. The practical difficulty in caused by the existing location and layout of the restaurant would prevent the addition to be located on the site to meet the required setback and still function for the restaurant. If the addition was to be located on the east or north side of the building parking stall would be lost. If it were located on the west of the building a variance would also be required. C. The unique circumstance is the sites location with road right-of-way on three sides of the lot, which reduces the buildable area on the site. d. The variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The addition would replace an existing patio, and is adjacent to a freeway interchange. Approval of the ten -foot front setback variance is subject to the following conditions: 1) The site must be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the conditions below: • Site survey date stamped May 15, 2012. • Building elevations date stamped May 15, 2012. 4 2) A building permit must be obtained and work commenced within one year of the approving date of the variance, or the variance shall become null and void. A petition for a time extension may be considered within that first year.

In 1998, we changed the name to the Eden Avenue Grill when we acquired a liquor license. We like to think of our restaurant as an American casual neighborhood - focused restaurant. We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and appeal to wide variety of customers. What is it? We were introduced to Cabrio Structures by a fellow restaurateur and were instantly intrigued. In short, the Cabreeze is a convertible structure that will be built over our existing patio. It has a removable roof and walls that will allow us to utilize our space to its full potential. It is snow load certified which will allow us to use it 12 months out of the year. This will be used for additional seating, private parties/banquets. It will continue to seat 30 people when completely full with a fireplace and a beautiful garden area. The Cabreeze is extremely functional and will add a lot of character to our building. Why the City should approve? We are within the city code/guidelines. We are simply putting a structure over our existing patio that will allow us to expand our business by serving more people throughout the year. We have been extremely fortunate with our employees, loyal customers and neighborhood but it's no secret that this is a difficult business. We need to continue to stay competitive in a challenging market and this unique technology will allow us to do that. This Cabreeze will allow us to seat more customers during busy shifts and book private events to produce more revenue. I think our longevity and history speaks for itself and we would like to continue being a part of this neighborhood. We consider ourselves a positive influence on the neighborhood and city of Edina. Thank you for your consideration. Eden Avenue Grill. 5101 Arcadia Avenue, Edina, MN 55436 cabrio IST R"ic T � I - Eden Avenue Grill Concept Images Photographs Showing Location of Proposal: A .

Project Description: A Conditional Use Permit request to allow the first floor elevation of a new home to be 3.75 feet higher than the existing first floor of the home to be replaced, (2.75 feet higher than allowed by ordinance), due to ground water Issues, at 5537 Park Place. INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Property owner Kate Schmitt, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a new home at 5537 Park Place. (See site location photos of the subject property and adjacent homes on pages Al—A6.) A Conditional Use Permit is being requested to allow the first floor elevation of the new home to exceed the first floor elevation of the previous home by more than one foot. Specifically the applicant would like to raise the first floor elevation 3.75 feet above the first floor elevation of the previous home that had occupied the site. The first floor of the previous home was at 865.3 feet. The new first floor is proposed to be at 869.05 feet. The maximum allowed increase without a Conditional Use Permit is 866.3 feet (See applicant narrative and plans on pages A7—A17.) The new first floor is proposed to be 2.75 feet over the one foot allowed by city code in order to reasonably protect the lower level of the new dwelling from ground water intrusion. The attached Report of Geotechnical Exploration and letter dated May 1, 2012, from ITCO Allied Engineering Co,, regarding ground water levels indicates ground water at a level of 855.29 with a recommended lowest floor elevation of 859.29, (see letter and report: pages Al 8-A33).

Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Single-family residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential Easterly: Single-family residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential Southerly: Single-family residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential Westerly: Single-family residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential Existing Site Features The existing 9027square foot lot is vacant. The home that was previously located on the lot and tom down was multi-level and had a tuck -under two car garage. The home was demolished in 2011. The property received a Letter of Map Revision from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on February 7, 2012 removing the property from the Special Flood Hazard Area. Prior to removal from the flood hazard area, the property was considered in an area that may be inundated by the flood having a 1 percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year, (see Letter of Map Revision on Page A34 -A37.). The property, while removed from the flood zone, still has elevated ground water as demonstrated by the soil borings taken from the site. Planning Guide Plan designation: Zoning: Grading & Drainage Low -Density Residential R-1, Single -Dwelling District Drainage patterns would generally remain the same. The grading must not impact adjacent neighbors. Final grading and drainage plan is subject to review and approval of the city engineer at the time of building permit application. The proposed plans will also require a review and approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Conditional Use Permit Per Section 850.04 Subd. 5.E, the City Council shall not grant a Conditional Use Permit unless it finds that the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use: 2 1, Does not have an undue adverse impact on governmental facilities, utilities, services or existing or proposed improvements; The proposal for a rebuild of a new single-family home would not have an impact on governmental facilities or services. A single-family home is a permitted use on the site. 2. Will generate traffic within the capacity of the streets serving the property; The proposal to rebuild a single-family home would not have an impact on traffic or the capacity of the streets serving the property. The use, a single- family home, remains the same on the property. 3. Does not have an undue adverse impact on the public health, safety or welfare; Again there would be no impact, as the use of the property remains the same. 4. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and Improvement of other property in the vicinity; The proposed new home would fit the character of the existing neighborhood. The proposed new home is two stories and there are a number of two story homes within the neighborhood, (See home comparisons on pages A—A.) & Conforms to the applicable restrictions and special conditions of the district in which It Is located as imposed by this Section; and The new home would meet all applicable zoning ordinance requirements. 6. Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. A single-family home is consistent with the low-density residential land use designation within the Comprehensive Plan. Additional Conditions Per Section 854.11. Subd. 2: Additions to or replacement of single dwelling unit buildings with a first floor elevation of more than one (1) foot above the existing first floor elevation of the existing dwelling unit building. Such additions to or replacements of single dwelling unit buildings must meet one or more of the first three (3) conditions listed below, and always meet condition four t4). 3 1. The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to elevate the lowest level of the dwelling to an elevation of two (2) feet above the 100 -year flood elevation, as established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or the City's Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan; or 2. The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to reasonably protect the dwelling from ground water intrusion. Existing and potential ground water elevations shall be determined in accordance with accepted hydrologic and hydraulic engineering practices. Determinations shall be undertaken by a professional civil engineer licensed under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 326 or a hydrologist certified by the American Institute of Hydrology. Studies, analyses and computations shall be submitted in sufficient detail to allow thorough review and approval; or 3. The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to allow the new building to meet State Building Code, City of Edina Code, or other statutory requirements; and 4. An increase in first floor elevation will only be permitted if the new structure or addition fits the character of the neighborhood in height, mass and scale. Conditions #2 and #4 above apply to the proposed new home. The proposed new home would have a low floor elevation of 859.3. The applicant would like the new home to have an 8.75 foot ceiling height in the basement. An eight to nine foot basement ceiling height within single- family homes in an Edina is typical, even though the minimum building code requirement is seven feet. Therefore, with the combination of the inability to go down lower to accomplish an 8.75 foot ceiling height in the basement, the desire to raise the low floor elevation and an upgrade of building materials from previous building practice will result in the new home being 3.75 feet above the first floor elevation of the existing home. The proposed new home would ft the character of the neighborhood. (See pages A38—A68), which shows existing homes in the area). The proposed new home is a two story home with an attached three car garage. There are a mixture of housing styles and periods of construction throughout the neighborhood. There are ramblers to full two story homes nearby. The applicant's builder has indicated that the west and east sides of the home have been designed with smaller mass and scale than the south, (front), elevation to reduce the impact of the new home on the adjacent homes to the north and east of the subject home. 4 Compliance Table PRIMARY ISSUE & STAFF RECOMENDATION Primary Issue « Is the proposed new home with a first floor elevation 3.75 feet higher than the existing home reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons: 1. The proposal meets the Conditional Use Permit findings. As demonstrated on pages 3-4 of this report, the findings and conditions required for this conditional use permit would be met. 2. As demonstrated on the Compliance Table on page 4 of this report, the proposal meets all minimum Zoning Ordinance standards. 3. Because of ground water issues, the basement of the new home must be elevated to a minimum recommended height of 859.3. The new first floor height will be at 869.05, the basement providing 8.75 foot ceiling heights. A basement with an 8.75 foot ceiling is considered reasonable within the City. 4.

'Phis new floor is being built 2.75 feet over the one foot allowed by city code in order to reasonably protect the lower level of the new dwelling from ground water intrusion. The attached documentation from ITCO Allied Engineering Company shows the groundwater level at 855.29 and the recommended lowest floor elevation height of 859.29. All other dimensions of the new home will meet Edina's zoning rules and the home is designed to fit the character of the neighborhood in height, mass, and scale. The home exterior will feature stone details facing 56"' Street, cedar shingle siding, and an asphalt roof. These are materials that blend in with the character of homes in Colonial Grove and South Harriet Park.

Groundwater Levels — 5537 Park Place www.itcoallied.com • Fax: 952-890-5883 As part of drilling; the two soil borings on the referenced site, ITCO Allied Engineering Co. measured the depth to groundwater in both borings. In boring 1, water was at 8 feet of depth below the ground surface and in boring 2 it was at 8.3 feet of depth. Since these are clay type soils, groundwater levels are not expected to fluctuate much. Both borings had essentially the same ground elevation, so the minimum depth to groundwater was 8 feet. If the F.H.A. guideline of a 4 feet separation between the highest observed groundwater elevation and the lowest basement slab are followed, as well as the installation of foundation drains, it is our opinion that groundwater intrusion will not be a problem. A benchmark elevation of 866.49 was provided by the City of Edina for the top nut of a hydrant located on Park Place. The ground elevation at boring I was 3.2 feet below the benchmark elevation and the groundwater was 8 feet below this, so the groundwater was at elevation 855.29. Following FHA's guideline, the lowest floor elevation should be placed at or above elevation 859.29.

SUBGRADE EXPLORATION FOR 5537 PARK PLACE Edina, Minnesota Allied Project No, 12014 April 1 6, 2012 D Ll INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of subgrade exploration performed by our firm for the above referenced site. This work was requested by Mr. Scott Busyn of Great Neighborhood Homes on April 9, 2012 and authorized by the same also on April 9, 2012. Our work was performed in accordance with our proposal Idated April 9, 2012. PROJECT INFORMATION The project site is located at 5537 Park Place, Edina, Hennepin County, Minnesota, The site is avacant residential lot. A new residence is proposed. BORING LOCATIONS AND ELEVATIONS The borings were located as shown on the site plan included in the Appendix. The top nut of a hydrant located on Park Place was used as a benchmark elevation. An arbitrary elevation of 100.0 was assumed for the benchmark elevation. Elevations listed on the boring logs are in relation to # ssumed elevation. FIELD EXPLORATION Two Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings were each put down to a depth of 25 feet. The borings were put down in accordance with ASTM 1586-84: "Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split - Barrel Sampling of Soils". Using this procedure, a 2" O. D. split barrel sampler is driven into the soil by a 140-1b weight falling a distance of 30 inches. After an initial set of 6", the number of blows required to drive the sampler an additional 12 inches is known as the standard penetration resistance or N -value. The N -value provides an indication of the relative density of cohesionless (coarse grained) soils or of the consistency of cohesive (fine grained) soils. As the samples were obtained in the field, they were visually and manually classified. Representative portions of the samples were then sealed in clean glass soil jars and returned to the laboratory for further examination and verification of the field classification. The recovered soil samples were classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System, ASTM D: 2488-8. Logs of the test borings indicating the depth and identification of the various strata, measured penetration resistances, soil classifications and the results of water level checks are included in this report. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Soil boring l Soil boring 1 consisted of 6 inches of clay, underlaid by organic clay to 8 feet of depth, clay to 10 feet of depth, sandy clay to at least 16.5 feet of depth, sand with some gravel from at least 20 feet to at least 21.5 feet of depth, and very fine sand with silt from at least 25 feet to 26.5 feet of depth. Soil Boring 2 Soil boring 2 consisted of 2 inches of organic clay, underlaid by sandy clay to 3.3 feet of depth, organic clay to 7.8 feet of depth, sand with clay to 10.25 feet of depth, sandy silty clay to 12.5 feet of depth, sandy clay to at least 14 feet of depth, fine sand from at least 15 feet to 15.8 feet of depth, sandy clay to at least 16.5 feet of depth, fine sand from at least 17.5 feet to at least 19 feet of depth, sand from at least 20 feet to 26.2 feet of depth, and very fine sand with silt t.5 feet of depth. El N -values ranged from I to 12, which indicates that soils ranged from very loose to firm in consistency. N -values below 6 are considered to be low. There were N -values of 3, 4, and 5 in both borings to 9 feet of depth, except for a reading of 8 at 2.5-4 feet in boring 2. There also was a reading of 1 in boring 2 at 15-16.5 feet of depth. Groundwater was encountered in boring 1 at 8 feet of depth and in boring 2 at 8.3 feet of depth. The bore -holes were left open, but covered up to prevent runoff from. entering. We will re -measure the depth to water on April 17, 2012 and will send a supplemental letter. It should be noted that sufficient time may not have elapsed for equilibrium conditions to have been achieved in the open bore holes. Groundwater conditions may vary both seasonally and annually, based on precipitation amounts, patterns, and both surface and subsurface drainage in the local area. Regarding the low N -values measured in the upper layers of both borings, this is likely because the material is probably fill that wasn't compacted when placed. Regarding the N -value of I in boring 2 at 15-16.5 feet of depth, we have found on other projects that uplift pressure from the groundwater in fine sands located below the water table can cause quicksand conditions to develop and provide false N -values. In this case the water was found at 8.3 feet of depth and a confining clay layer extended to at least 14 feet of depth. It is our opinion that there was an uplift water pressure as a result and that the N -value obtained is not accurate. Attached to this report are the logs of the test borings, which describe the conditions encountered at the drilling locations. The depth of the individual strata of soil may vary at and between drilling locations due to unsampled intervals, the occurrence of transitions between soil layers and the natural variability of the subsurface conditions. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Organic topsoil, peat, organic clay, organic silt, and any soft soil layers which may b�,ntered r, should not be relied upon for support of the proposed footings, slabs or controlled t� gat wi support these elements. ' ti 10" The non -root infested and inorganic on-site soils would generally be suitable for reuse as controlled and compacted fill material. The topsoil, or other materials, which would not be suitable for use as controlled fill, may be able to be used as surface fill in the lawn and landscaping areas, Additional recommendations are presented in the following sections. The Department of Housing & Urban Development (D -HUD), which underwrites F.H.A. mortgages, requires a separation of 4.0 feet between the highest observed groundwater elevation and the lowest basement slab. Although this may or may not be a requirement in Edina, the city should be contacted to Idetermine their requirements. 1. EXCAVATION In general, grubbing and stripping operations should remove all significantly organic or root infested soils from the areas to be worked. Frozen material, soft consistency clays, or otherwise unsuitable soil and debris should be removed. Where undocumented fill or otherwise unsuitable soils are exposed in the base of excavations which will support slabs or footings, these materials should also be removed, Frozen soils resulting from frost penetration may turn soft upon thawing and would need to be removed. For the support of fill sequences, slabs, or footings, it will be important to remove unsuitable soils or unconsolidated material prior to the placement of the controlled and compacted fill to make grade for concrete foundations and slabs. IOnce the organic topsoil layers and otherwise unsuitable materials have been removed, the completed excavations should be observed by an experienced soil engineer or technician and the conditions judged to be suitable prior to the placement of controlled and compacted fill to make grade for concrete footings or slabs. The following areas should be observed at the time of construction and removed and replaced as necessary to obtain suitable soil and adequate compaction of the soil for the proposed residential structure or other facilities. , 4 �` Soil Boring Soil depth associated with Soils requiring modification B-1 0 feet to 9 feet B-2 0 feet to 7.8 feet 1. FOUNDATIONS It should be possible to provide support for spread footing foundations systems using excavation and controlled filling procedures. As mentioned previously, the topsoil, peat, organic silt, organic clay, soft silt, and any uncontrolled fill encountered during the excavation work should not be relied upon for support of footings, stabs or controlled fills which will support these elements. It will be important to monitor the conditions exposed in the excavations during the grading work prior to the placement of fill to make grade for concrete for footings or slabs. Hand auger borings and Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests should be done in the completed excavations and the exposed conditions judged suitable by an experienced soil engineer or technician prior to the placement of footings or fill. ITCO Allied Engineering Co. is capable of and available to do this work. Once the recommendations presented in this report have been implemented, a net allowable bearing pressure of 2000 pounds per square foot may be utilized for the proportioning of individual footings. In designing the footings, it is recommended that they be designed to exert approximately equal pressures to the bearing strata. This should limit total and differential settlements to 1" and 'h" respectively. 3. FILL PLACEMENT In the event that unsuitable soils are encountered and need to be repla04the fill material should be mineral soil, preferably granular, and free of debris, boulders and`g'o material. The non-organic on- site soils would be suitable for reuse as controlled fill , ' i al Su*e on-site soils may require aeration for proper compaction. Fill should be placed and compacted in a manner that will alloomplete compaction of the entire fill layer to a minimum of 95% of the Standard Proctor Density according to ASTM D: 698 in the 19 building pad area. Required compaction should be increased to 98% for fill areas 4 feet and deeper below final grade and below all footings. A minimum of one representative field density test should be performed for each two feet of fill placed at a time in a given work area. Density tests in mass fill areas should be performed at a rate judged sufficient to represent the fill sequence as a whole. Where sand fills are to be compacted, smooth "drum" type vibratory equipment would be preferred, however, a shaepsfoot roller with short wide pads may provide adequate compaction. Fill areas should be properly oversized to provide for adequate distribution of the imposed loads. The fill supporting structural elements should extend at least one foot horizontally beyond the structure, slab or edge of the footing. Fill surfaces should extend downward and outward on a 1: 1 slope to competent soil. If the fill slope is unconfined by other soils, the downward and outward slope should be flattened and stabilized. Also, no unremedied excavations should be carried out within the fill oversize areas. 4. FOUNDATION DRAINAGE If a below grade slab is to be included, foundation drains should also be included and the requirements in the next paragraph followed. In planning backfill zone drain tile installation, the invert elevation should be below the level of the lowest floor slab. The drain line should be adequately protected from blockage prior to backfilling by a suitable encapsulation of gravel, (such as Mn/Dot spec 3149.2 H; "coarse filter aggregate"), and geotextile separation fabric. In the backfill zones above the drain tile the use of granular material is recommended. Sand for this purpose should contain less than 12% passing the number 200 sieve, (MnDot "select granular borrow"; spec 3149.2 B). Care should be taken during the backfilling operations to ensure that the drainage materials are not crushed or deformed. Fill installation in these areas should be initiated with a two -foot lift of the granular backfill. A two to three foot thick compacted clay cap, with a positive slope away from the structure, may be placed at the top of the backfill zone to aid in reducing the infiltration of groundwater into this area which would need to be carried by the drain the system. It should be noted that the construction of the backfill zone drainage system should be performed with the same level of care as the foundation wall itself. !._.., b" X - -/, �' C 7 0 S. FINAL SITE TOPOGRAPHY The final soil surfaces should be graded to provide adequate drainage away from structures and pavements in order to minimize deleterious effects associated with water infiltration. The areas adjacent to footing walls should be adequately compacted, (not loosely placed), and provided with drainage outlets to avoid this zone acting as a "sump" and creating nuisance water conditions. Compliance with the building code provision for positive surface drainage away from the structure should also aid in reducing the quantity of infiltration into the backfill zones adjacent to foundation walls. STANDARD OF CARE The recommendations contained in this report are professional opinions. These opinions were arrived at in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices currently in use at this time, location and for projects of this type. Other than this, no warranty is implied or intended. Soil samples recovered from the test borings will be retained in our offices for a period of thirty days from the date of this report. After that time they will be discarded unless prior written instructions to the contrary are received. I hereby certify that this report and/or specification has been prepared by me or under my direct supervision and that I am a duly registered Professional Engineer under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

This document revises the effective NFIP map to remove the subject properly from the SFHA located on the effective NFIP map; therefore, the Federal mandatory Rood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the Rood insurance requirement to protect its financial risk on the loan. A Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) Is available for buildings located outside the SFHA. Information about the PRP and how one can apply is enclosed. This determination is based on the Rood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.

Luis Rodriguez, P.E., Chief Engineering Management Branch Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration A r„f Zi Federal Emergency Management Agency Wishiiigton, 1).C. 2017,2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING LETTERS OF MAP REVISION BASED ON FILL When making determinations on requests for Letters or Map Revision based oil the placement of rill (I.OMR-I's). the Department of I-Ionicland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hales its determination on the flood hazard information available at the litne of the determination. Requesters should be aware that flood conditions may change or new information may be generated that would supersede FEMA's determination. In such cases, the community will he informed by letter. Requesters also should be aware that removal of a property (parcel of land or structure) from the Special Flood hazard Area (SH IA) means FEMA has determined the property is not subject to inundation by the flood having, a I -percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood). This does not mean the property is riot subject to other flood hazards. The property could be inundated by a flood with a magnitude greater than the base flood or by localized flooding not shown on the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map. Tile effect of LOMR-F is it removes the Federal requirement for the leader to require flood insurance coverage for the property described. The 1.0MR-F is not a waiver of the condition that the property owner maintain flood insurance coverage for the property. 0ii4y the lender can waive the flood insurance purchase requirement because the lender imposed the requirement. I-eceive (I It'l-illell wolvel-fi-oin the lemler befom ecincelhig the puficV. The leader may determine, oil its own as a business decision, that it wishes to contintic lite flood insurance requirement to protect its financial risk on the loan. The I.0MR-F provides FEMA's comment on the mandatot3, flood insurance requirements of the NFIP as tile), apply to a particular property. A LOMR-F is not a building permit, nor should it be construed as such. Any development, new construction, or substantial improvcnicrit of a property impacted by a LOMB -F must comply with all applicable State and local criteria and other Federal criteria. Ira lender releases a property owner from the flood insurance requirement, and the property owner decides to i.-antcl the policy and seek a refund, the NFIII will refund the premium paid for the current policy year. provided that no claim is pending or has been paid on the policy during the current policy year. The property owner must provide a written waiver of the insurance requirement from the lender to the property insurance agent or company servicing his or her policy. The agent or company will then process the refund request. Even though structures are not located in an SHIA, as mentioned above, they could be flooded by a flooding event with a greater magnitude than the base flood. In fact, more than 25 percent of all claims paid by the NFIP are for policies for structures located outside the SFI-IA in Zones 13, C, X (shaded), or X (unshaded). More than one-fourth of all policies purchased under the NFIP protect structures located in these zones. The risk to structures located outside SFI-IAs is just riot as great as the risk to structures located in SFHAs. Finally, approximately 90 percent of all federally declared disasters are caused by flooding, and homeowners insurance does not provide financial protection from this flooding. Therefore, FEMA encourages the widest possible coverage under the NFIP.

BEAT May 19, 2012 To: Cary Teague, Planning Director - City of Edina From; Scott Busyn - Great Neighborhood Homes Subject: CUP Application for 5537 Park Place Neighborhood Character Study We are submitting the attached documentation showing how the new home being proposed at 5537 Park Place will fit the character of the neighborhood in height, mass, and scale. While the city defines "neighborhood" as homes within 500 feet, we took a tighter focus on representative homes within a two block radius of the subject property. 5537 Park Place is located at the corner of 5611, and Park Place in the Colonial Grove neighborhood. As can be seen in attached photos, the homes in the two block radius represent an eclectic collection of homes built in the 40's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and many recently constructed homes. Many homes styles can be found including cape cod, ranch/rambler, colonial, French provincial, and American cottage/shingle. It is very evident that this is an area of transition with many new homes and remodels in progress, The proposed home at 5537 Park Place will have a 30'north/south ridge peak on the west side. The north/south ridge on the east side will be 26'. The east/west ridge will be 28'. The attached survey of homes in a two block radius shows that 18 other homes have 26- 30'+ ridge heights. The proposed home at 5537 Park Place will be a 2 story home with rooflines that are designed to reduce the mass and scale of the home by having the eve lines come down to the first level ceiling. This gives the home the character of a "story and a half' home that can be found on other homes in the neighborhood. In addition, all four sides of the home are being designed with character details (detailed windows, gables, stone, shed roofs, etc) to avoid any type of "movie screen" fagade. The west and east sides of the home have been designed with a smaller mass and scale than the front elevation (facing 56111). This will allow for a better blending of the new home with the two adjacent homes. The proposed home will fit the character of the neighborhood by using quality materials such as cedar shingle siding, stone, detailed window trim and corbels, and divided light windows. In addition, the new home will have a stone chimney, a feature common on older homes in the neighborhood. Please let me know if you would like to see additional information or feel free to call me anytime at 962-807-8765. Thank you.

Project Description: A Conditional Use Permit request to allow the first floor elevation of a new home to be 4.68 feet higher than the existing first floor of the home to be replaced, (3.68 feet higher than allowed by ordinance), due to the floodplain elevation imposed on the property located at 4805 East Sunnyslope Road. INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Doug and Abby Power, are requesting a Conditional Use Permit to tear down an existing house and construct a new home at 4805 East Sunnyslope. (See site location on pages Al A3.) A Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow the first floor elevation of the new home to exceed the first floor elevation of the existing home by more than one foot. The applicant is proposing to raise the first floor elevation 4.68 feet above the existing first floor elevation. (See applicant narrative and plans on pages A4—Al2.). The existing first floor is at 895.91 feet with an allowed increase in height by code to 896.91 feet. The proposed first floor will be at a height of 900.58 feet. The property is a penninsula backing up to Minnehaha Creek and it falls within the 1 % annual chance of flooding, (the 100 year floodplain). The flood protection elevation along that portion of the creek is at 888.1 feet, (see floodplain documentation on pages A13 -A30) . The ordinance requires that all basement/lowest floors be elevated to a minimum 2 feet above the flood protection elevation. The existing basement elevation of the home is at 887 or 1.1 feet below the flood protection elevation. The proponents are proposing a basement elevation of 890.1 to comply with the minimum floodplain requirements. The ordinance allows the first floor to be raised by one foot or to an elevation of 896.91 feet. The low floor must be no lower than two feet above 888.1, which would result in a 6' 10" height difference between the basement floor and the first floor. Modern building practices generally include 18" floor trusses resulting in a basement ceiling height of 5' 4" without the benefit of a Conditional Use Permit. The builder has provided examples of other homes they have built within Edina. The home is designed similar in style to 5200 Mirror takes Drive, 4600 Woodland Road and 4617 Tower Street, (see attached photos of similar projects by the applicant's builder on pages A31 -A43). Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Single-family residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential Easterly: Minnehaha Creek Southerly: Minnehaha Creek Westerly: Single-family residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential The applicant has provided an inventory of homes within the neighborhood illustrating the variety of housing styles present and the diverse topography of lots within the vicinity, (see pages A44 -A76). The home has been designed as a 1.5 story walk -out with a connected link between the main house and the garage. The home complies with all of the zoning ordinance requirements even given the challenges of maintaining a 50 foot setback from the Creek edge and given that the over-all height is measured and must be maintained from average existing grade even though the home is proposed to be elevated higher than the existing home. Existing Site Features The existing 37,556 square foot lot contains a rambler style single-family home built in 1953, and is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area for the Mill Pond of Minnehaha Creek as determined by FEMA. The existing basement is nonconforming and below the flood protection elevation. The property must maintain a minimum 50 foot setback from Minnehaha Greek with the south and east sides of the lot imposed with a 50 foot setback. Planning Guide Plan designation: tow -Density Residential Zoning: R-1, Single -Dwelling District 2 Grading & Drainage Drainage patterns would generally remain the same. The grading must not impact adjacent neighbors. Final grading and drainage plan is subject to review and approval of the city engineer at the time of building permit application. The proposed plans will also require a review and approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Conditional Use Permit Per Section 850.04 Subd. 5.E, the City Council shall not grant a Conditional Use Permit unless it finds that the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use: 1. Does not have an undue adverse impact on governmental facilities, utilities, services or existing or proposed improvements; The proposal for a tear down and rebuild of a new single-family home will not have an impact on governmental facilities or services. A single-family home is a permitted use on the site. 2. Will generate traffic within the capacity of the streets serving the property; The proposal to tear down and rebuild a single-family home would not have an impact on traffic or the capacity of the streets serving the property. The use, a single-family home, remains the same on the property. 3. Does not have an undue adverse impact on the public health, safety or welfare; There would be no impact, as the use of the property remains the same as exists today. 4. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and Improvement of other property in the vicinity, The proposed new home would fit the character of the existing neighborhood. The proposed new home is a 1.5 story walk -out home. (See home on pages A8—Al2.) 5. Conforms to the applicable restrictions and special conditions of the district in which it Is located as Imposed by this Section; and The new home would meet all applicable zoning ordinance requirements. 3 6. Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. A single-family home is consistent with the low-density residential land use designation within the Comprehensive Plan. Additional Conditions Per Section 850.11. Subd. 2: Additions to or replacement of single dwelling unit buildings with a first floor elevation of more than one (1) foot above the existing first floor elevation of the existing dwelling unit building. Such additions to or replacements of single dwelling unit buildings must meet one or more of the first three (3) conditions listed below, and always meet condition four (4). 1. The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to elevate the lowest level of the dwelling to an elevation of two (2) feet above the 100 -year flood elevation, as established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or the City's Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan; or 2. The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to reasonably protect the dwelling from ground water intrusion. Existing and potential ground water elevations shall be determined in accordance with accepted hydrologic and hydraulic engineering practices. Determinations shall be undertaken by a professional civil engineer licensed under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 326 or a hydrologist certified by the American Institute of Hydrology. Studies, analyses and computations shall be submitted in sufficient detail to allow thorough review and approval; or 3. The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to allow the new building to meet State Building Code, City of Edina Code, or other statutory requirements; and 4. An Increase in first floor elevation will only be permitted if the new structure or addition fits the character of the neighborhood in height, mass and scale. Conditions #1 and #4 above apply to the proposed new home. The subject property is located within the 100 -year flood elevation for the Mill Pond. The 100 -year flood elevation is 888.1. Structures must be at least two (2) feet above the established 100 -year flood elevation; therefore, the low floor elevation for the new home must be no lower than 890.1. The existing home has a low floor elevation of 887. The proposed new home would have a low floor elevation of 890.1. 4 The applicant would like the new home to have a nine (9) foot ceiling height in the basement. An eight to nine foot basement ceiling height within single- family homes in an Edina is typical, even though the minimum building code requirement is seven feet. Therefore, with the combination of the inability to go down lower to accomplish ceiling height in the basement and the requirement to raise the low floor elevation out of the flood zone will result in the new home being 4.68 feet above the first floor elevation of the existing home or 3.68 feet higher than allowed by ordinance. The proposed new home would fit the character of the neighborhood. (See pages A44 -A76, which shows existing homes in the area.) The proposed new home is 1.5 stories with an attached three car garage. Compliance Table PRIMARY ISSUE & STAFF RECOMENDATION Primary Issue • Is the proposed new home with a first floor elevation 2.4 feet higher than the existing home reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons: 5 City Standard Proposed Front - East Sunnyslope 43.6 feet 46.8 feet Side - South Mill Pond 50 feet from creek 50 feet Rear- East Mill Pond 50 feet from creek 50 feet Side - North 10 feet 35.3 feet Building Coverage 25% 14.7% Building Height 40 feet 39.08 feet PRIMARY ISSUE & STAFF RECOMENDATION Primary Issue • Is the proposed new home with a first floor elevation 2.4 feet higher than the existing home reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons: 5 1. The proposal meets the Conditional Use Permit findings. As demonstrated on pages 3-4 of this report, the findings and conditions required for this conditional use permit would be met. 2. As demonstrated on the Compliance Table on page 4 of this report, the proposal meets all minimum Zoning Ordinance standards. 3. Because of the 100 -year flood plain elevation for Minnehaha Creek, the applicant cannot dig down lower to build a basement with a nine foot ceiling, and meet the code requirement that the first floor elevation for the new home not exceed one foot above first floor elevation of the existing home. A basement with a nine foot ceiling is considered reasonable within the City. 4. The proposed home is in character within this neighborhood. There are a variety of housing styles throughout the area. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for Doug and Abby Power for property located at 4805 East Sunnyslope Road. The Conditional Use Permit allows the new home to have a first floor elevation 3.67 feet above the first floor elevation of the existing home. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposal meets the Conditional Use Permit conditions of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The proposal meets all applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements. 3. The proposed new home is in character with this neighborhood. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. The site must be developed and maintained in conformance with the following plans: Survey date stamped May 14, 2012. Building plans and elevations date stamped May 14, 2012. 2. Submit a copy of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit. The City may require revisions to the approved plans to meet the districts requirements. 6 3. Final grading and drainage pians are subject to review and approval of the city engineer prior to issuance of a building permit. Drainage patterns may not be directed to adjacent properties.

Doug and Abby moved to Edina from Chicago late last Sumer as Doug took a position with General Mills. After searching diligently over the last six months to find the right long term location for them to build a home on in Edina, they settled upon this property as the location they felt most connected to with it's proximity to the creek and amenities in Edina. Yet, the site is not without it's unique challenges and Parameters: • Given the proximity to the creek, we're subject to the parameters set out by FEMA, the DNR, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as we navigate the development of the property. • Given the property in on a peninsula on Minnehaha Creek, it is subject to the City of Edina code setbacks from Minnehaha Creek of 50' on three sides of the property. • The existing site has a 1953 one story walkout home that has been a rental for the last four years and is in significant disrepair. As we've met with multiple neighbors, they've mentioned how encouraging it will be to get the property cleaned up. • The existing structure's Lower Level is in the 100 year flood plain level. We believe this has been a major development challenge with the site. • In order to have a new home 2' above the flood plain level for the Lower Level floor (which is the height suggested by the City of Edina code as part of the conditional use permit process), we will need to raise the height of the first floor of the new house above the City of Edina's code maximum of 1' above the existing structure's first floor height. Given the existing Lower Level of the existing house is in the flood plain, the way to achieve this is through a conditional use permit. Use of Property. • At the request of our client, an active family with two boys, we hope to build a new single family home on the property at 4805 Sunnyslope Road East. Using classic architecture and careful planning, we've proposed a 1.5 story Shingle style home with attached garage for the site. We feel the proposed design provides timeless architecture in an integrated fashion with the topography challenges of the site (due to the flood plain level) while ultimately complementing the fabric of the neighborhood. Conditions of Conditional Use Permit. • As part of the Edina City Code regarding Conditional Uses, "Additions to or replacement of single dwelling unit buildings with a first floor elevation of more than one (1) foot above the existing first floor elevation of the existing dwelling unit building", must meet one or more of the first three conditions listed in the code and always meet condition four. • Given that part of 4805 Sunnyslope Road East is in the flood plain, we'll be addressing "The first floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to elevate the lowest level of the dwelling to an elevation of two (2) feet above the 100 year floor elevation, as established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or the City's Comprehensive Water Resource Management Pian". And since meeting Condition 4 is a necessity of all conditional use permits, we'll also addressing it. Condition 4 of the City of Edina Code, regarding conditional uses, states: "An increase in first floor elevation will only be permitted if the new structure or addition fits the character of the neighborhood in height, mass, and scale." Meeting Condition 1 of the Conditional Use Permit. • The current 100 year flood plain level for the site at 4805 Sunnyslope Road East, as defined by FEMA in panel 361 of 479 on their Hennepin County MAP #27053C0361 E, effective September 28, 2007, is 888.1 (see FEMA's attached Letter of Map Revision). • Given a portion of 4805 Sunnyslope Road East is in the 100 year flood plain, we are applying to abide by the City's conditional use option, allowing the lower level floor to be two (2) feet above the flood plain elevation, or 8901". • The existing first floor height of the 1953 home at 4805 Sunnyslope East Is at 89511" (see property survey). Under the City of Edina code, we can place a new home up to 1' above the existing first floor height of the 1953 home without a conditional use permit, which would be 89611 ". • The difference between 896'11" and two feet above flood plain level, 8901", is 610", which would be the Lower Level floor to Main Floor height if a conditional use permit was not applied for. * Given the structural space between floors is at least 18" (for floor trusses), this would leave a Lower Level ceiling height of approximately 5'4", an unworkable circumstance (and not in keeping with permissible municipal code) to the property for building anew home and thus the need for the conditional use permit. With the information above in mind, we are requesting to raise the first floor height of the home from the allowable 896'11" to 9007" in order to accommodate a workable floor to floor height and still be 2' above the 100 year flood plain on the site. For reference purposes, we've included a Key Elevation Points Diagram (labeled as Drawing B) highlighting the various elevation levels we've noted above. Meeting Condition 4 of the Conditional Use Permit. • The Sunnyslope neighborhood is characterized by diverse, hilly topography, relatively large home sites (approximately 1/2 acre of more; the subject site is .86 acres), and a variety of architectural styles of homes ranging from one story ramblers to 1.5 story homes to full two story homes. • We photographed over thirty (30) homes in the immediate vicinity of the site to provide context of the various architectural styles, height, mass, scale, and topography. We've provided a map and photographs of each of the homes for reference. After reviewing the information, it's interesting to note the diverse nature of the neighborhood in each aspect. For example, directly across the street from 4805 Sunnyslope Road East is a wide, full two story colonial house on a relatively flat property (see photo of 4800 Sunnyslope Road East), while the property next door to the West of the 4805 Sunnyslope East is a one story walkout mid-century modern home on the creek that does not conform to the flood plain level (see photo of 4801 Sunnyslope Road East; it's Lower Level walkout is 886'6" which is 17' below the 100 year flood plain and therefore isn't a reasonable topography/height comparison for the subject property). Overall, the neighborhood has examples of homes that are relatively large in scale, and others that are not. Some homes have three car garages. Others are relatively tall while others sit up on hilly sites. In considering the overall context of the neighborhood, we designed a double gable, 1.5 story home with a walkout Lower Level (given the existing topography of the site) and a link to an attached garage (see Front Elevation Concept Drawing C by Charlie and Company Design and Front Elevation Neighborhood Context Drawing B). With the design, we have taken special note to be in conformance of every aspect of the City of Edina Code in terms of height, scale, massing, hard cover, setbacks, grading, etc (see Site Plan, Grading and Drainage Plan, Key Elevation Points, and Property Survey), despite having to raise the first floor height as part of the conditional use permit due to the flood plain level. • By using an experienced group of architects and designers we've worked with in the past on our Edina projects (and particularly ones who have dealt with similar circumstances), we're confident we have a result that will be a beautiful, fitting addition to the neighborhood. Description of Similar projects. M • Elevation is a division of Streeter and Associates, Inc., a custom home builder with over twenty-five years of experience building homes in the metro area. • Elevation's focus, as part of Streeter, is infill building - working in established neighborhoods to redevelop properties with new single family homes that fit the existing fabric in the neighborhood and are architecturally timeless. • While we've been fortunate to be a recipient of a Minneapolis BLEND award showcasing one of our homes' seamless fit in the Linden Hills neighborhood, the core of Elevation's work is in Edina where we've completed multiple homes that have a similar Shingle architectural style to the home designed for the property at 4805 Sunnyslope Road East. • We've provided photos some of those homes at the following addresses: 4600 Woodland Road West, 4604 Woodland Road West, 4617 Tower Street, and 5201 Mirror Lakes Drive. • Of the properties listed above, 5201 Mirror Lakes Drive most closely resembles the overall appearance of what we anticipate 4805 Sunnlysiope East to resemble. On that particular property, we worked with significant topography to integrate the new home in a fashion that transitions well into the site and provides a fitting complement to the rest of the neighborhood architecture. • We invite you to drive by any of the properties above with the hope that you'll see we are committed to building homes that fit the character of the neighborhoods they are in and are respectful of surrounding properties. 1417 m Ni # ►��+ i A � �� ji?�4� � t�i�i i J ! 4 t RkY 83� R�9S1Rtl Cft li `�� T 11000 � 4 �u m I NEAR L 5 w 2 CV t�flit tt I NEAR L 5 w 2 Ckarlie &COMPANY 05. 11 . 12 FRONT ELEVATION CONCEPT S ta It ? 1: 20 Power Residence DRAWING C Power CkarlieResidence &CQMPANY -1 N T.3 - - -------... . .. &CQ 05,11,12 SCALE' 1/4" = 1* -0* DRAWING 6 /-Z.

Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed NF7P criteria. These criteria, including adoption of the FIS report and FIRM, and the modifications made by this L OMR, ars the minimum requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements to which the regulations apply. We provide the floodway designation to your community as a tool to regulate iloodplain development. Therefore, the floodway revision we have described in this letter, while acceptable to us, mu.,# also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate immunity action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. WfIP regulations Subparagraph 60.3(bX7) requires communities to ensure that the flood -carrying capacity within the altered OF relocated tortion of any %vatercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your community's existing floodplain management ordinances; therefore, responsibility for maintenance of the altered or relocated watercourse, including, any related appurtenances such as ridges, culverts, and other drainage structures, rests with your community. We may request that your conumnity submit a description mud schedule of maintenance activities necessary to ensure this requirement. OMMMTY REMINDERS We based this determination on the 1 -percent -annual -chance discharges computed in the submitted hydrologic model. Future levclopment of projects upstream could cause increased discharges, which could cause increased flood haxerds. A comprehensive estudy of your community's flood hazards would consider the cumulative effects of development on discharges and could, therefore, ad%ate that greater flood hazards exist in this area. (our community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by federal and/or Uate/Commonwealth law have been obtained. Statc/Commanwealth or community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and n the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas. If your ltatc/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, those criteria take srecedence over the minimum NFIP requirements. Me will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community 611 serve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMB by preparing a news release or publication in your community's newspaper that describcs the revision and explains how your community will provide the data and tele interpret the NFW maps.
