Assistant Planner
Recommended Action: Approve the 5 foot front yard setback variance, a 1.3
foot side street and a 10.3 foot rear yard setback variance as requested to add a
2 car garage and a second story for property located at 5501 France Ave., for
owners Aleksander and Erin Stojmenovic.
Project Description
The variances are to allow a garage and second floor addition to a home located
in the south east corner of France Ave. and West 55 th Street. The owners are
requesting variances to allow additions to the home at the same nonconforming
front and rear yard setback as existing and add a garage west of the home that
will be 13.7 feet from the lot line adjacent to France Ave. instead of the 15 foot
setback as is required, (See property location, aerial photos, photos of the
subject and neighboring homes on pages A.3—A.9). The project is a major
remodel and addition to an existing nonconforming single family home. All of the
improvements will match the existing setbacks with the exception of setback from
France Ave. to provide for a garage, (see site survey and building plans on
pages A. 1 O -A. 16).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The property has a number of challenges including that it is a corner lot requiring
deeper setbacks to both streets; the existing structure is nonconforming
regarding both front and rear yard setback which can be attributed to the shallow
lot depth of 84 feet, (minimum lot depth per ordinance is 120 feet) and the lot is
quite small at 6,720 square feet in area.
The required setback from West 55 th Street is established by the front yard
setback of the home to the east located at 3809 West 55 th Street which is located
approximately 33 feet from the lot line adjacent to West 55 th Street. The
neighbor's home was built in 1982, (much later than the year built of the subject
home). The subject home is located 28.1 feet from West 55 th Street and pre-
dates all of the surrounding homes. The structure that is now a dwelling unit was
originally built as a church, (see attached page A. 1). No garage had been
necessary at the time of construction since it was built as a church and no
garage has ever been located on-site. The Zoning Ordinance requires a
minimum two car garage per single dwelling unit. The challenge has been finding
a suitable location on the property that allows access from the street. Access
cannot be accomplished from France Ave. since it is a busy county road, so the
property must gain access from West 55 th Street. The Engineering Department
has approved access from West 55th Street as indicated in an attached e-mail,
(see attached page A.2).
The subject home has had no improvements and few permits for maintenance
indicated in the building file and had been rental property for many years. The
proposed improvements and additions would bring the home up to current
building code standards and provide needed living space and a garage for the
owner's family.

Compliance Table
* Variance Required
Primary Issue:
0 Is the proposed development reasonable for this site?
Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons:
1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-1, Single Dwelling Unit Zoning
District and complies with all requirements with the exception of
setback from France Ave. and matching nonconforming setbacks.
2. The home is appropriate in size and scale for the lot. The additions are
less than the maximum allowed for lot coverage. The improvements
will enhance the property and not detract from the neighborhood. The
proposed improvements will bring the structure up to current building
codes and provide a minimum required two car garage.
3. The improvements will provide a reasonable use of a small lot that is
heavily impacted given the current front and rear yard setback
requirements and setback required from France Ave. The home to the
east along west 55 th Street dictates the required front yard setback and
was constructed at a later date than the subject home, forcing it into
nonconformance.
4. The additions simply match the existing nonconforming front and rear
yard setbacks that have been in place since the structure was built and
the new garage will overlap required setback by only 1.3 feet.

0 Is the proposed variance justified?
Yes. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is
found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties
in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As
demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance
standards, when applying the three conditions:
Section 850.0.Subd., requires the following findings for approval of a
variance:
Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions
must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will:
1) Relieve 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 new home will
match the nonconforming setbacks of the existing home on the property
which have been located on the property since 1935, pre -dating the home
to the west that was built in 1982 and was located farther back from the
front lot line along West 55th Street. The practical difficulties in complying
with the ordinances are created by the required front and rear yard
setbacks, the shallow lot depth and existing nonconforming setbacks.
Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable given that a minimum
two car garage is required per single dwelling unit and the proposed
location appears to be the only practical solution for the property.
Duplicating the north street setback of the existing home will not
compromise the intent of the ordinance. The new additions to the existing
home will maintain the existing pattern of setback on the block and will be
no closer to the street. The south setback will also maintain an existing
setback.
2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not
common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-
created?
Ell
Yes. The unique circumstances are that the existing lot is subjected to
front and rear yard setbacks that are deeper than the location of the
existing home. The required setbacks reduce the buildable area
dramatically creating unworkable solutions.
3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
No. The proposed additions will be consistent with the location of the
existing home and will not detract from the streetscape along France or
West 55 th Street. The character of the neighborhood consists of a variety
of housing styles. The applicant is asking to preserve setback patterns
that include the nonconforming setbacks of the subject property with the
new garage not imposing upon France Ave. The neighbor to the south
has their rear yard adjacent to France and their side yard adjacent to the
proponent's rear yard.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the requested variance based on the following findings:
1. The proposal meets the required standards for a variance, because:
a) The practical difficult is caused by the location of the existing home.
b) The encroachments into the setback continue existing nonconforming
setbacks that were established when the original structure was built
on the property.
c) The request is reasonable given the location of the existing home
relative to the orientation of surrounding homes.
Approval of the variance is subject to the following condition:
1. The home must be construction per the proposed plans date stamped,
April 30, 2014.

Variance Request Letter for 5501 France Ave South in Edina
May 7, 2014
City of Edina Planning Department
4801 West Fiftieth Street
Edina, MN 55424
Dear Edina Planning Department,
This proposal letter is to request variances for the residence at 5501 France Ave S in Edina. We
purchased the home February 5 th 2013. Our primary reason for moving into the neighborhood was so
that our children could attend Edina schools. Our son Marko is in the 6 Ih grade at Southview Middle
School, our daughter Sofie is a 4 th grader and Mariana is a kindergartener at Concord Elementary. When
we moved into the neighborhood we expected a great public school system but what we have also
found is wonderful neighbors that have children of similar age to our children. Within a block on S5th
street there are eight children under the age of twelve. We, as our children, have made great friends in
our new neighborhood. Soon after we moved, however, we also realized that we need a garage.
There are many benefits of having the garage anywhere but having one in Minnesota is
especially important. We would like to park our cars away from the elements but also to store our
children's bikes and toys inside. Currently we park on the existing driveway on the north side of the
house facing 55 Ih street. There are no other choices where we could add the garage except attach it to
the West side of the house facing North and using the existing driveway. This is due to Edina building
regulations that forbid any new driveways to be built on France or closer to France that they are
currently. We do not have to worry about the setback against neighbors' houses on France Avenue
because there are no houses that are built near our property, except to the East, where we are not
making any changes. However, because we are planning on building a two car garage (as is the
requirement) we will be within 13 feet 7 inches from our property line and the requirement is 15 feet.
So the request for a grant on a variance is for the difference of 1 foot and 3 inches.
The second variance request is related to the setback on the North side of the house. As we
worked with our architect on plans to add a garage, we decided to reduce the dimensions as much as
possible due to the house location on the lot. The width of the garage is 22 feet and the depth is 18 feet
4 inches. We wanted to stay in line with the current entrance on the North side of the house as shown in
picture number 3. Our set back per our neighbor's home on the North side should be 33.1 feet from our
property line and since we are lining up with the current entrance, the distance will be 28.1 feet. We
cannot make the garage any smaller if we want to park our cars inside.
The third variance request is related to the setback on the South side of our house for second
floor expansion. The requirement is 25 feet and we have 13.1 feet from our property line. Please keep
in mind that we are not increasing the size of our home from the outside, but building up on the South
jild��\Ate-areLtaking-o-ff-th-e-existi.ng-roof-and-adding-a-new roof that will now face North instead of West.
There are few key reasons why we are doing this. First, the current roof structure on the house is in
poor condition and sagging on the North side, so the roof will have to be replaced soon in any case.
Second, with the garage addition on the West side, the entrance to our home will be on the North side
so the house should face that direction. And finally, by changing the roof structure and adding three
dormers we are going to be able to add three bedrooms and two bathrooms to our house. Currently,
this home has only two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main level with finished basement (there is
a bedroom and a bathroom in the basement). The change in roof direction and the additional dormers
will also add visual appeal to the property.
The additions to our home are imperative if we are to continue to live in the property, and that
is only possible if this variance request is granted. Our family would be very grateful for your help in this
matter. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
'Y'

Subject:
Case File B-14-10 5501 France Ave
To whom it may concern at the City of Edina Planning Commission:
I am writing in response to the letter I received announcing a meeting on 5/28/14 regarding Case File B-14-10 5501
France Ave.
I live directly across the street on 55 th from the purposed site & I am in full support of the purposed addition/remodeling
of said location. It boggles my mind that this would be given any additional thought &/or time with the amount of tear -
down building that is allowed in this city. The said location has been an eye -sore for over 20 years & now that a family
would like to improve the location you are putting them through the ringer to obtain approval. I did not receive any
letters when the multiple houses were knocked down 6-8 houses down the road from me, not to mention the
construction traffic & the damaging of the road that was created . I did not receive a notice when the asinine
roundabouts were put on 50 St. I can't believe that allowing a garage to be placed on a home without a garage has
become such an issue.
We have tried to sell our home 3 times & due to the fact that the said location was not up to what people expected in
Edina, we were unable to obtain the price we wanted & were unable to sell the home. Allowing this addition/remodel is
not only good for the owners of the property, but it is good for the property values & property perception for the homes
that surround it.
Please allow this property owner to make the requested upgrades that he has purposed.
Sincerely,
Homeowner — 3816 W 55 1h St, Edina, MN

11. Edina Baptist Church
5501 France Avenue South
1928
Originally known -as the France Avenue Mis-
sion, this building was constructed in the summer of
1928 as a branch of the Lake Harriet Baptist Church.
In 1942 the congregation established autonomy as
the Edina Baptist Church. Six years later a new
church building was completed at 5300 France Ave-
nue South, and the former mission was converted
into a private home."
With the removal of the small steeple above the
narthex wing, the church became an architecturally
undistinguished residence. The clapboard facing of
the one-story frame structure has been covered with
blue composition siding up to the bottom of the
eaves and with brown composition siding on the ga-
ble ends. There is a low, brown -shingled, gable roof
over the main structure and entrance vestibule. The
foundation is of concrete block. Although modest in
architecture, the building is rich in historical
significance.

Kris,
I discussed this one with the builder and told them keep this curb cut as far away from the France Avenue curb
return. Based on the site plan they aren't getting any closer than what they have currently. The can keep the proposed
location from an engineering standpoint.
Contact me with any questions or clarification. Thanks

Jamie,
Please take a look at the proposed curb -cut and comment ... if they can't have the curb -cut in the location desired, then
they can't have the garage in that location ... and there is no use in requesting a setback variance.
Thank you,

Assistant Planner
Single-family homes.
Recommended Action: Approve an 8 foot lot width and a 4,892 square foot
lot area variance as requested.
Project Description
An 8 foot lot width and a 4,892 square foot lot area variance to build a new
twin home to replace an existing double dwelling unit at 3932/3924 49th St.
owned by LIG Investments LLC.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The subject property is 82 feet in width and is a 10, 108 sq uare foot lot developed
with a double dwelling unit located north of 49th Street and is zoned R-2, Double
Dwelling Unit District, (see attached pages: A. 1-A.6), site location, aerial
photographs, photos of subject and adjacent Properties). The property owner is
hoping to demolish the existing double for the construction of a new double
dwelling home, (see attached pages: A.7 -A.13, site surveys, and bulding plans).
The ordinance requires a double dwelling unit lot consist of no less than 90 feet
in width and a minimum of 15,000 square feet. The 82 foot wide lot consists of
10,108 square feet, so it is therefore 8 feet short in width and 4,892 square feet
short of the minimum 15, 000 square foot area requirement. The existing double
dwelling unit was built in 1953 and pre -dates the current lot area requirements.

Primary Issues
* Is the proposed development reasonable for this site?
Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons:
1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-2, Double Dwelling Unit Zoning
District and complies with all requirements with the exception of lot
area.
2. The homes are appropriate in size and scale for the lot and the
improvements will enhance the property.

Primary Issues
* Is the proposed development reasonable for this site?
Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons:
1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-2, Double Dwelling Unit Zoning
District and complies with all requirements with the exception of lot
area.
2. The homes are appropriate in size and scale for the lot and the
improvements will enhance the property.
2
3. The property is an existing nonconforming lot that has always been
developed with a double dwelling unit.
4. The homes are a two stories with attached two car garages and should
complement the character of the neighborhood. The homes are within the
setback, coverage and height requirements.
* Is the proposed variance justified?
Yes. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is
found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties
in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As
demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance
standards, when applying the three conditions:
Section 850.0.Subd., requires the following findings for approval of a
variance:
Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions
must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will:
1) Relieve 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 given that historically
the existing double home has been on a lot that is narrower and is less
than the required 15,000 square foot lot since it was built in 1953. The
practical difficulty for the subject property is that the ordinance has
changed regarding minimum lot size for a double unit lot.
2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not
common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-
created?
Yes. A unique circumstance is that the existing property predates the
ordinance and was not self-created after the fact.
141
3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
No. The proposed homes will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood. The new twin homes will complement the existing
neighborhood homes. Approval of the variance allows the continued
reasonable use of the property as a double dwelling lot.
Staff Recommendation
Recommend that the Planning Commission approve the variance.
Approval is based on the following findings:
1) With the exception of the variances requested, the proposal would meet
the required standards and ordinances for the R-2, Double Dwelling Unit
District.
2) The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance, because:
a. The proposed use of the property is reasonable; as it is consistent with
existing conditions.
3) The imposed lot area does not allow redevelopment of the property
without the benefit of a variance or a zone change.
Approval of the variance is subject to the following conditions:
1) Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in
substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the
conditions below:
Survey date stamped: May 29, 2014.
Building plans and elevations date stamped: May 1, 2014.
Deadline for a City Decision: July 27, 2014.

Hi Kris,
Please find attached the variance request explanations, in a word document. Also attached below.
Alex Gese
UG Investments LLC
Variance application for 3932-3934 W. 49' Street, Edina, MN 55424.
Lot Width and Lot Area Variance request.
We are seeking to rebuild twin homes on the subject lot, and need a lot width and lot area variance to do so. We
believe that all of the following conditions strongly apply to our situation:
The proposed variance will relieve practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance because,
without the variance, rebuilding on the lot will be impossible. In short, if the variance is not granted no builder
will ever be able to comply with the zoning ordinance at this location. The use is reasonable because we are
simply proposing an improvement of the existing condition — i.e., to build two new attached homes on an R-2
site.
This variance will correct extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other
property in the vicinity or zoning district because, in essence, it will put the lot on an equal playing field with
other R-2 lots in the area that either meet the lot width and lot area requirement OR that have been granted a
variance — the very same variance we are seeking — in order to redevelop similarly situated lots. Specifically,
the adjacent property to the immediate east was recently granted the exact variances we are seeking, for the
exact same type of project.
Our project is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance. Simply put, the
purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance could not have been to deny future development of any lot that
became non-compliant when the ordinance was written or was changed. At one time this lot was compliant
with relevant lot area and lot width requirements, and the existing R-2 duplex was built on the site. Our
proposed project complies with all other aspects of the building code — meeting all relevant setback, size, and
design requirements for a lot of its size.
Our proposed project does not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. It is a tastefully designed twin -
home that is code compliant in all aspects that our within our control. The subject street has many duplexes and
a couple of new construction twin -homes, including the aforementioned adjacent property. Our proposed twin -
home will not only fit into the neighborhood, it will improve the condition of the subject lot with a tastefully
designed, updated building.
Thank you for considering our variance request.
Best Regards,
Alex Gese

Hello Kris,
If I am reading this variance application correctly it appears we need to have the entire app in by tomorrow to
be sure to be considered at the June 11th meeting, is that correct? We can drop everything by tomorrow, but I
was wondering if we can set up a time with you when we drop everything off to go over the variance process
just to make sure we have everything in that is needed. Let me know if you have time that works tomorrow.
Thanks

INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Project Description
As a result of the recent Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Lennar project
at 6725 York Avenue, the Metropolitan Council has requested that the City of
Edina establish new residential density ranges within the City's Comprehensive
Plan to better align with the description of the uses allowed within each District.
The text below is the description of Land Use Categories within the existing
Edina Comprehensive Plan. Please note the highlighted areas in regard to
density. Staff has incorrectly interpreted this so that FAR could determine density
for mixed use areas. Met Council staff has informed city staff that specific density
ranges must be used, and that the City of Edina's densities should be revised to
reflect the existing descriptions for its districts. Floor area ratio alone cannot be
used to determine densities within mixed use areas as suggested in the text of
the Comprehensive Plan, and used in the City's Zoning Ordinance.
A. Future Land Use Categories. Land uses are characterized primarily by
range of densities or intensities. For residential uses, density is defined in
terms of dwelling units per net acre (exclusive of road rights-of-way and
public lands). For nonresidential and mixed uses, intensity is
typically defined in terms of floor -to -area ratio, or FAR, which refers
to the ratio of a building's floor area to the size of its lot. Thus, a
maximum FAR of 1.0 could allow for a two-story building covering 50% of
the lot; a 3 -story building on one-third of the lot, and so on. Building
heights are not specified in the table, because height will vary within and
between categories, based on neighborhood context, infrastructure, and
community design goals. (See the discussion later in this section.)
As demonstrated in the attached pages Al — A6, from the Comprehensive Plan,
the residential density ranges for Office Residential (OR), Mixed Use Center
(MXC), Community Activity Center (CAC), (NC), Neighborhood Commercial and
Regional Medical (RM) are from 1-2 and 2-3 units per acre. These densities are
less than the City's Low Density Residential (LDR) district, which allows up to 5
units per acre.
Densities from 1-3 units per acre are not feasible for the intended mixed-use
character or opportunity in these areas.
The descriptions of these districts on pages A3 — A6, include "multifamily
residential; vertical mixed use; serving areas larger than one neighborhood; the
most intense district in terms of uses, height and coverage." Requiring densities
less than the Low Density Residential (LDR) range does not encourage
redevelopment with mixed uses in these areas; or reflect the types of
redevelopment occurring in Edina and the Twin Cities. The Lennar project is
located within the CAC district.
By establishing new density ranges for these areas, the city would create the
feasibility for mixed use projects. Changes to these density ranges would be
accommodating growth that has been anticipated and planned for in the City's
future population projections.
The Met Council projection within the Comprehensive Plan was for 22,500
households in Edina by the year 2030. That would be an increase from the 2000
census number of households that was 20,996.
Studies from traffic consultant WSB, and Barr Engineering on the attached pages
A25 -A59 demonstrate that there is adequate sewer and roadway capacity to
support the cities anticipated growth projections. Additionally, as with all
redevelopment projects, these issues are also examined with each project
individually to ensure adequate capacity.
Floor area ratio would continue to limit density through the existing zoning
ordinance requirements. Edina is a fully developed community; therefore, new
development would be in the form of redevelopment, or in some instances
additional structures within existing parking lots.
Example Residential Density Ranges in Surrounding City's Comprehensive
Plans
The attached pages A7- A24 provide information on the residential density
ranges used by our surrounding cities. Please note that in general, these density
ranges are higher than Edina. The City of Minnetonka does not have a residential
density range established for its Mixed Use area. A summary is as follows:

Districts for Consideration in Edina
Suggested residential density ranges are demonstrated in the attached draft
resolution, and discussed below.
NC, Neighborhood Commercial. The Neighborhood Commercial district guides
density at a range of 2-3 units per acre. A density in that range would not
encourage mixed use. The Planning Commission recommended a density range
of 5-12 units per acre, to be consistent with the Medium Density Residential
district and reasonable to encourage mixed use development.
4W
OR, Office Residential. The Office Residential district guides density at a range
of 2-3 units per acre in the current Comprehensive Plan. A suggested Office
Residential density of 12-30 units per acre would be consistent with the High
Density Residential district and reasonable to encourage mixed use
development. Pentagon Park is located within the OR district, therefore, if
housing is desired within that area, this density range would have to be
expanded to realize housing in that development.
MXC, Mixed Use Center. The MXC, Mixed Use Center district guides density at
a range of 1-2 units per acre. These areas include 50th & France, Grandview and
Centennial Lakes/Greater Southdale Area. A Mixed Use Center density of 12-30
units would be consistent with High Density Residential district and reasonable to
encourage mixed use development. This density range is consistent with existing
densities in these areas, including 50th and France (23 units per acre) and 71
France in the Centennial Lakes/Greater Southdale area (24 units per acre).
At the May 28 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended a new MXC-1
District be proposed for both of these areas with the 12-30 units per acre range.
The Grandview area would then be divided off separately into an MXC-2 district,
and continue with the 1-2 units per acre. Densities in this new MXC-2 district
would then be studied furthered as part of the Grandview planning process.
However, the Met Council has informed staff that creating a new district would be
considered a major Comprehensive Plan amendment, and not be deemed
administrative. Therefore, the Commission is asked to proceed with a
recommendation in one of two ways. First, leave the MXC as is in its current
range of 1-2 units per acre and indicate to the Met Council that the City is still
examining these areas in will come forward with a separate Comprehensive Plan
Amendment; or second, amend the density to 12-30 units per acre, and consider
a separate amendment for just the Grandview District.
CAC, Community Activity Center, The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the
Southdale area and the CAC as the most intense district in terms of uses, height
and coverage. The floor area ratio maximum in the CAC is 1.0. The existing
density suggested in the Comprehensive Plan of 2-3 units per acre would result
in less density than the City's Low Density Residential area; which allows up to 5
units per acre. Density in that range would not encourage a mixture of land uses.
A density range of 12-75 units per acre in this area is reasonable given the
descript ' ion of this area is the city's most intense district in terms of uses, height
and coverage. Floor area ratio would continue to impact densities based on the
Zoning Ordinance regulations. As compared to adjacent cities the maximum
suggested for this district would still be less than surrounding cities and their
most intense districts. The density proposed for the Lennar project is 52 units per
acre.
IS
V
RM, Regional Medical. Regional Medical is an area that allows senior housing,
but does not have a specific range for density. This district was amended
specifically for the senior housing project at 6500 France. That project would
have a density of 76 units per acre. The current density is described as follows:
Floor to Area Ratio — Per current Zoning Code: maximum of 1.0 for medical office
uses. Density for senior housing shall be based on proximity to hospitals,
proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of transit service available,
and impact on adjacent roads. Other desired items to allow greater density would
include: Below grade parking, provision of park or open space, affordable
housing, sustainable design principles, and provision of public art. Based on the
project at 6500 France, a density range of 12-80 units/acre is recommended.
The proposed densities using unit per acre are consistent with the existing
descriptions of each land use category in the Comprehensive Plan; are
consistent with existing development in Edina; and are consistent with the
existing Edina Zoning Ordinance. The table on the following page demonstrates
the densities of multi -family residential project in the City of Edina.

APPROVING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
REGARDING RESIDENTIAL DENSITY FOR MIXED USE AREAS,
BUILDING HEIGHT, FLOOR AREA RATIO AND LAND USE
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 The Metropolitan Council has requested that the City of Edina establish new residential
density ranges within the City's Comprehensive Plan to better align with the description of
the uses allowed within each District. Floor area ratio alone cannot be used to determine
densities within mixed use areas as suggested in the text of the Comprehensive Plan.
1.02 Lermar Corporation is proposing to tear down the existing retail building at 6725 York
Avenue, and single farnily homes at 6712, 6708, 6704, 6700 and 6628 Xerxes Avenue, ' and build
a six -story, 240 unit upscale apartment building with 11,000 square feet of retail on the first
level. To accommodate the request, three amendments to the Comprehensive Plan were
approved by the City Council:
1. Building Height - from 4 stories and 48 feet to 6 stories and 70 feet.
2. Floor Area Ratio - to exceed 1.0 in some instances.
3. Re -guiding the Land Use Plan for the five single-family homes on Xerxes from Low
Density Residential to Community Activity Center.
1.03 On June 11, 2014, the Planning Comrnission recommended of the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment. Vote: — Ayes and — Nays.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 The Edina Comprehensive Plan is a guide for development and redevelopment in the city that
establishes density ranges for the purposes of managing growth. Density in mixed use and
planned commercial districts are primarily regulated by Floor Area Ratio within the existing
Edina Zoning Ordinance.
2.02 Residential density ranges within the City's n-dxed use areas including CAC, Community
Activity Center; MXC, Mixed Use Center; OR, Office Residential; and NC, Neighborhood
Commercial District are between 1-2 and 2-3 units per acre, which are not feasible for the
intended mixed-use character or opportunity in these areas. The City's LDR, Low Density
Residential District allows up to 5 units per acre, which is a higher density than the above
n-dxed use districts. The RM, Regional Medical District does not have a residential density
range and senior housing is proposed as a permitted use.
2.03 By establishing new residential density ranges for these areas, the city would create the
feasibility for mixed use projects. Changes to these residential density ranges would be

accommodating growth that had already been anticipated and planned for in the City's future
population projections.
2.04. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the Southdale area and the CAC as the most intense
district in terms of uses, height and coverage. The City allows a floor area ratio of up to 1.5 in
other parts of the City, such as 50th France. The floor area ratio maximum in the CAC is 1.0.
The suggested density of 2-3 units per acre would result in less density than the City's Low
Density Residential area; which allows up to 5 units per acre, would not encourage a mixture
of land uses. A density range of 12-75 units per acre in this area is reasonable given the
description of this area is the city's most intense district in terms of uses, height and coverage.
Floor area ratio would continue to impact densities based on the Zoning Ordinance
regulations.
2.05. The OR, Office Residential District guides density at a range of 2-3 units per acre in the current
Comprehensive Plan. An OR density of 12-30 units per acre would be consis'tent with High
Density Residential District and reasonable to encourage mixed use development.
2.06. The MXQ, Mixed Use Center District guides density at a range of 1-2 units per acre, These areas
include 5061 & France, Grandviezu and Centennial LakeslGreater Southdale area.
Option 1. A Mixed Use Center density of 12-30 units zvould be consistent ivith High Density
Residential District and reasonable to encourage mixed use development. This density range is
consistent with existing densities in these areas, including 50th and France (23 units per acre) and 71
France in the Centennial Lakes area (24 units per acre).
Option 2. The residential density of the MXC District is currently being considered as part of the
Grandviezv planning study, and zvill be processed -tinder a separate forthcoming Comprehensive Plan
Amendment.
2.07 The NC, Neighborhood Commercial District guides density at a range of 1-2 units per acre. A
Mixed Use Center density of 5-12 units would be consistent with Medium Density Residential
district and reasonable to encourage mixed use development.
2.08 The RM, Regional Medical District is an area that is proposed for senior housing, and does not
have a specific range for density. A Comprehensive Plan amendment was approved for the
senior housing project at 6500 France. Senior Housing creates a lesser impact on traffic;
therefore, higher densities can be supported in this area. Density for senior housing shall also
be based on proxin-dty to hospitals, proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of
transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. Other desired items to allow greater
density would include: Below grade parking, provision of park or open space, affordable
housing, sustainable design principles, and provision of public art. A density range of 12-80
units per acre is reasonable to encourage that use in the district.
2.09. Establishing higher residential density ranges within mixed use areas, align with other
elements of the Comprehensive Plan, including growth that had been forecasted by the
Metropolitan Council.

2.10. The proposed densities using unit per acre are consistent with the existing descriptions of each
land use category in the Comprehensive Plan; are consistent with existing development in
Edina; and are consistent with the existing Edina Zoning Ordinance.
2.11. There is adequate roadway capacity and sewer capacity to support the proposed residential
density ranges proposed in these mixed use areas.
2.12. The proposed land use change of the single family homes on Xerxes Avenue are consistent
with existing and proposed land uses in this area. The City of Richfield has guided the single
family homes on the east side of Xerxes as medium density residential, and the property to the
north west and south in Edina are guided CAC, Community Activity Center; therefore, the
long term vision of both Edina and Richfield in this area is for higher densities.
2.13. Podium height is proposed on both Xerxes and York as recommended in the Comprehensive
Plan. The six story portion of the building is stepped back into the site to minimize impact on
adjacent property.
2.14. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the Southdale area and the CAC as the most intense
district in terms of uses, height and coverage. The City allows a floor area ratio of up to 1.5 in
other parts of the City, such as 50th France; therefore, the floor area ratio of the proposed use
at 1.27, which is predominantly residential, is appropriate for the area.
2.15. The traffic and parking study done by WSB concludes that the existing roadways can support
the proposed project, and there would be adequate parking provided.

3.02 The following Comprehensive Plan Amendments are approved subject to review by the
Metropolitan Council pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §473.864:
A. Future Land Use Categories. The categories in the table below apply to the Future
Land Use Plan. It is important to note that land use categories are not zoning districts - they
are broader and more long-term in scope. The land use plan and the zoning ordinance
should be consistent with one another, but are not identical. Each land use category may be
implemented through more than one zoning district, allowing for important differences in
building height, bulk and coverage in different areas of the city. Some revisions to existing
zoning districts or creation of new districts may ultimately be needed as part of the
implementation of the land use plan.
Land uses are characterized primarily by range of densities or intensities. For residential
uses, density is defined in terms of dwelling units per net acre (exclusive of road rights-of-
way and public lands). For nonresidential and mixed uses, intensity is typically defined in
terms of floor -to -area ratio or FAR, which refers to the ratio of a building"s floor area to the
size of its lot. A density unit per acre range is listed below, however, in practice FAR lin-dts

the density in the Edina Zoning Ordinance based on site size. Thus, a maximum FAR of 1.0
could allow for a two-story building covering 50% of the lot; a 3 -story building on one-third
of the lot, and so on. Building heights are not specified in the table, because height will vary
within and between categories, based on neighborhood context, infrastructure, and
community design goals. (See the discussion later in this section.)

considerations for each land use category, but are not regulatory in nature.

Future Land Use Categories. The categories in the table below apply to the
Future Land Use Plan. It is important to note that land use categories are not
zoning districts — they are broader and more long-term in scope. The land use
plan and the zoning ordinance should be consistent with one another, but are not
identical. Each land use category may be implemented through more than one
zoning district, allowing for important differences in building height, bulk and
coverage in different areas of the city. Some revisions to existing zoning districts
or creation of new districts may ultimately be needed as part of the
implementation of the land use plan.
Land uses are characterized primarily by range of densities or intensities. For
residential uses, density is defined in terms of dwelling units per net acre
(exclusive of road rights-of-way and public lands). For nonresidential and mixed
uses, intensity is typically defined in terms of floor -to -area ratio, or FAR, which
refers to the ratio of a building's floor area to the size of its lot. Thus, a maximum
FAR of 1.0 could allow for a two-story building covering 50% of the lot; a 3 -story
building on one-third of the lot, and so on. Building heights are not specified in
the table, because height will vary within and between categories, based on
neighborhood context, infrastructure, and community design goals. (See the
discussion later in this section.)
The "Development Guidelines" in the table below are intended to highlight
important design considerations for each land use category, but are not
regulatory in nature.

Potential Areas of Change
Among its many purposes, the Comprehensive Plan functions as a long range
tool that attempts to anticipate where change and growth will occur in the City.
Identifying those potential areas of change is an initial stage in the process of
guiding new construction and redevelopment when it is proposed by private
property owners. It is not an attempt to stimulate change, but to acknowledge
that it may occur and be proactive in shaping it. Locations identified in this
section appear to be areas where change may occur during the life of this Plan.
Many of these areas were identified in a group exercise at Public Meeting #2 as

Medium Density Residential (MDR)
The Medium Density Residential land use category was
derived from the Single-family Residential —High Density
category (R-SFH) that was included in the City's 1999
Comprehensive Plan. The medium density residential
category replaces the R-SFH category. Naming this
category medium density better clarifies the intent
of the residential uses within this category. Medium
density residential accommodates attached housing,
predominantly townhomes or condominiums ranging
from 7 to 12 units per acre. Medium density residential
also includes manufactured housing.
z
High Density Residential (HDR)
High Density Residential also includes multi -unit and
multi -building developments at a more intense scale.
The allowed density range is a minimum of 24 units
per acre. High Density Residential uses are priman y
To"'cTV convenient to transportation, utility, security,
shopping and social services in order to support higher
c oncentrations of people.
High Density Residential/Office (HDRO)
The High Density Residential/Office category is similar
to the High Density Residential category. The HDRO
includes multi -unit and multi -building developments
with the presence of office uses. Like the HDR category, a
minimum density of 24 units per acre is required.

In addition to the retail and service uses allowed in
the Regional Commercial land use category, Regional
Commercial/Office allows for the presence of offices.
Within this category, office uses are to be integrated
into the overall development with buildings exceeding
150,000 square feet in size. Office uses would preferably
be located above retail uses or situated in stand-alone
building developments.

Lyndale & 66th Street: The intent of the mixed use
category is to focus on creating a city center in Richfield
that would serve as a "downtown" The city center
is expected to include a mix of residential, shopping,
recreational and businesses uses. The area at 66th Street
and Lyndale has been developing for the past decade
as Richfield's city center. The intent is to continue
the expansion of the city center area by incorporating
residential housing at 50+ units per acre and providing
commercial, office and recreational opportunities. __-1
Penn Avenue Corridor: The intent of the mixed use
category is to create a traditional neighborhood center
that is a vibrant, pedestrian -oriented district. The district
would accommodate residential, shopping, recreational

Office (0)
Office usesareaccommodated in several ofthe residential
and commercial land use categories. However, the office
land use category is intended to provide stand-alone
office development. These stand-alone developments
mayincludesuch uses as office -showrooms, research and

The park designation includes all public parks, public
playgrounds and trail corridors.
Right -of -Way
Right-of-way includes all public land that is under the

Public Land
It is estimated that public land comprises more than 40% of
the land within the city's boundaries. Publicly owned land
includes streets, sidewalks, alleys, parks, playgrounds, trails,
public institutions (e.g. City Hall, schools, and the community
centers), public facilities, and some natural open spaces. These
publicly owned spaces are used in a multitude of ways. The
City's goal is to facilitate the best use of public land to enhance
the amenities available to residents, access to public land and
buildings, and mobility.
Public land can be categorized into the following use types:
• Public right-of-way. which includes streets, sidewalks,
boulevards, trails, and alleys;
• Parks, playgrounds, and open spaces;
• Park Commons "town center" and other public places that
define the community's identity;
Public and quasi -public institutions, which includes city
buildings, schools, churches, and community centers;
- Public facilities.
Where We Are Headed
This section of the Land Use chapter establishes the City's
official land use categories and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map, which is intended to guide current and future
land use planning and development through the year 2030.
The land use plan categories are fully defined below. The 2030
map is the official land use designation map for the City. The
land use designations are intended to shape the character, type
and density of future development according to sound planning
principles. Any new development, redevelopment, change in
land use, or change in zoning is required to be consistent with
the land use guiding for each parcel.
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Categories
There are 12 land use categories that guide the City's 2030
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, which are described
below. In general, the categories reflect a movement towards
greater mixing of uses.
1. RL - Low Density Residential
The Low Density Residential category is intended primarily
for single-family detached housing. This category allows net
idential densities from three (3) to seven (7) units per acre.
RM - Medium Density Residential
c Medium Density Residential category allows net
idential densities from six (6) to 30 units per acre. This
egory allows for a variety of housing types including single-
aily detached, duplexes, townhomes, and small two- and
ee-story apartment buildings.
RH - High Density Residential
High Density Residential land use category is intended
higher density, compact urban residential development,
luding high-rise apartment buildings. This category allows
a net residential density range of 20 to 75 units per acre;
vever zoning will allow only up to 50 units per acre except
utilizing the PUD process. Under a PUD, 75 units per
- may be developed if within 1,000 feet of a park. The

use and 20 to 25 percent for commerical or office uses. Taller
IV. C - Commercial,
'Ihe Commercial land use category is intended to
accommodate a wide range and scale of commercial uses,
such as retail, service, entertainment, and office. Commercial
uses can range from small neighborhood convenience nodes,
to community retail areas along major roadways, to large
shopping centers, to auto -related commercial uses along
freeways. Res ' idential uses are also appropriate as part of a
mixed-use commercial development, with a net residential
density range of 20 to 50 units peracre allowed.
buildings may be appropriate in some areas and net residential
densities between 20 and 75 units per acre are allowed. The
MX designation is intended to facilitate an integrated town
center atmosphere in Park Commons and a diversity of uses in
certain other areas of the community.
A I - Industrial
'Me Industrial land use category covers all industrial uses
from manufacturing, assembly, processing, warehousing,
storage, laboratory, distribution, and related offices. Industrial
areas consist of both lighter industrial uses, which tend to
have higher appearance standards and fewer impacts on
surrounding properties, and general industrial uses which
are typically set off from other uses. Current industrial uses
tend to be concentrated around the City's railroads, where
industrial uses first developed in the community. Future
industrial uses should primarily be located in close proximity
to either a railroad line or regional roadway system with
limited traffic circulation through residential and pedestrian -
oriented areas.
VII. 0 -Office
'Ihe Office land use category is primarily intended for
employment centers of fairly intensive office and mixed use
development with high floor area ratios (FARs) and building
heights. Business, professional, administrative, scientific,
technical, research, and development services are typical
uses appropriate for the Office land use category. 'Ihe Office
category also allows other limited uses such as hotels, parking
ramps, residential, day care, retail and restaurants when part of
a larger development.

Chapter IV. 2030 Land Use Plan
Section F Land Use Plan Implementation
The following land use implementation section describes the methods that the City of
Minnetonka will utilize to initiate the implementation of the Minnetonka 2030 Vision
according to the planning strategies for the growth strategy themes listed in Section B of this
chapter. The implementation methods also consider the conditions and policies established in
the other chapters of the 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan.
This section establishes the land use categories and review criteria to guide private and
public decisions regarding development and redevelopment in accordance with the targeted
planning areas (residential neighborhoods, villages, regional areas/ corridors, and
transportation /natural area corridors) within the city. The implementation methods include:
* the 2030 land use definitions;
* the 2030 land use plan map;
* the 2030 population, household and employment forecasts;
* the overall development review criteria, including those established in Sections C and
D of this chapter, to determine consistency of development and redevelopment
projects with the land use plan; and
* implementation procedures that include city regulations (the zoning and subdivision
ordinances) and specific 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment criteria that
pertain primarily to the [and use chapter text and 2030 land use map.
2030 Land Use Deflnitions
The [and use districts should not be confused with the zoning designations of property. The
[and use districts describe general land uses and may include other criteria to be considered
when development and redevelopment projects are reviewed by the city to ensure that the
project meets the 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan policies and the appropriate policies and
strategies of other chapters of the plan. The corresponding zoning designation and associated
performance standards describe specific criteria that must be met before development can
occur on property.
The city's land use definitions follow, according to the general land use category. Appendix
IV -A of this chapter provides illustrative examples of the specific types of uses found within
each land use category.
1. Residential Land Use Districts
Prior to 1979, the medium- and high-density residential definitions restricted densities to five
to eight, and nine to 12 units per acre, respectively. The definitions were changed, as part of
a comprehensive planning effort, to allow a greater density to provide more opportunities for
housing choice (variety and cost), recognition of the rising cost of Land in Minnetonka, and to
bring the density standards more in conformance with other metropolitan area communities
and Metropolitan Council policies.
IV -36 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan
k(�-
Chapter IV. 2030 Land Use Ptan
The density definitions are expressed in terms of ranges to allow for development flexibility
and compatibility with natural resource and other site specific characteristics of property.
Therefore, an appropriate density for a particular use may be at the lower end of the density
range rather than the higher end.
Further the density definitions do not specify the type of housing; rather, the zoning
ordinance specifies the type of housing and specific standards that must be met by a
particular development. The decision regarding the specific density for a particular property
is made during the development review process, where the folLowing conditions are
considered by the city:
• The existing environmental conditions of the property including wetlands, floodplains,
steep slopes and the quality of existing vegetation;
• the specific site plan including the type of housing units proposed and requirements
for development facilities such as stormwater ponding, municipal sewer and water,
etc.;
• the existing and requested zoning classification for the property; and
• the surrounding neighborhood characteristics.
A. Low-density residential: development that ranges in density from two to four dwelling
units per acre.
Most residential neighborhoods that contain existing singte-famiLy homes in the city are
designated for Low-density residential uses. Although low-density uses include detached
single family housing types other residential housing types such as duplexes and attached
townhomes are included provided that the overatt density does not exceed four units per
acre. This land use district is established to recognize the primary residential
development pattern in the city and accommodate housing goats, including affordable and
mid -priced housing.
B. Medium -density residential: residential density ranges from more than four to 12 units per
acre.
Typically, this land use district includes attached housing types such as smatl-tot singte
family developments ("zero lot tine"), duplexes, townhouses, "quads," and tow -rise
muttipLe family buildings. This [and use designation is used to:
• Encourage and allow the opportunity for residential project design techniques that
incorporate natural resource protection and open space preservation techniques such
as "clustering".
• Create appropriate transitions between different and more intense Land uses and low-
density areas.
• Encourage opportunities for residential development near and within viLtage and
regional centers, employment centers or major transportation corridors.
• Broaden housing choice, especially with an increasingly aging population and
accommodate housing goals, including affordable and mid -priced housing
Development within medium -density residential areas should incorporate:
1. Design techniques that facilitate natural resource protection and open space
preservation;, and
2. Buffers and/or transitions between more intense land uses and low-density areas.

Environmental, features such as wetlands, fLoodplains, steep slopes, and heavily
vegetated areas should be used, as available, as buffers. Developments should
incorporate appropriate transitions, such as landscaping and other Land use or design
features between non-residentiat and residential uses of a Lower density.
High-density residential: residential developments with densities above 12 units per acre.
ao"no 011 Taffis "
Typical high density residential development consists of apartment o*rwc ifornioniAu VIM
in multistory buildings. The intent of this district is to provide the opportunities for
residential developments that:
serve a wide range of income group and changing lifestyLes;
are in close proximity to services, employment centers and transportation corridors,
especially transit routes; and
broaden housing choice, especially with an increasingly aging population and
accommodate housing goals, including affordable and mid -priced housing.
As is the case with medium -density residential development, development within high-
density residential areas should incorporate:
1 . Design techniques that facilitate natural resource protection and open space
preservation, and buffers and/or transitions between more intense Land uses and low-
density areas.
2. Buffers and/or transitions between more intense Land uses and lower density areas.
Environmental features such as wetlands, floodpLains, steep slopes, and heavily
vegetated areas should be incorporated, as available, within buffers. Developments
should incorporate appropriate transitions, such as Landscaping and other [and use or
design features between non-residential. and Lower density residential uses.
High-density residential development projects should occur in a planned manner, with
specific consideration given to all. uses within an area and also to impacts on adjacent
developments, services and transportation. Development will not be encouraged to occur
until appropriate services and infrastructure are available or programmed.
2. Business Land Use Districts
Business (and uses typically include categories of uses that are measured by the intensity of
development and off-site impacts. These uses are found in the village areas, regional areas
and corridors of the city. Additionally, business land use districts apply to several planned
corporate campuses such as the Cargill and Welsch developments in the city.
The following describe the categories of business uses in the city.
A. Office
The office land use district provides locations for administrative, executive, professional
or other offices and related service uses, such as financial institutions, lodging, day care
and similar uses. It is not intended for retail uses that serve the general public. The office
designation can be used, if designed appropriately, as a transitional use between
residential and more intense commercial districts.
B. Service commercial
The service commercial land use district is a [and use district used in the 1-394 Corridor
and other specific areas. It is considered a tool. that increases flexibility in siting uses that
IV -38
411
2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan
Chapter IV. 2030 Land Use Plan
are typically associated with regional centers and within business concentration areas.
Typical developments include hotels, health clubs, religious institutions and similar
service uses.
Uses are typically characterized by tower peak hour traffic generation characteristics,
making them suitable for high-volume interchange areas. Certain service commercial
areas serve as transitions between residential areas and retail uses.
C. Commercial
The commercial district is broad and includes retail, entertainment, service and office
uses that typically occur in the village and regional areas.
D. Industrial
A range of "light" industrial uses including warehouse, showroom, manufacturing and
limited office, retail and service uses fall within the industrial district. Many other
industrial uses are part of mixed-use areas. These include business parks, where master
plans govern more specific uses and development criteria, such as Opus and Carlson
Center, as well as other areas close to TH 62 and 1-494.
3. Mixed Use Areas
Areas include Locations where one or more uses can be accommodated within a single building
or within a planned multi -building area. This designation has been established to allow
flexibility in land use and creative site design, especially in the village and regional areas.
Generally, most mixed use areas should be designed to allow the incorporation of appropriate
natural resource protection and/or enhancement techniques.
The general land uses determined appropriate for the mixed Land use area are shown on the
2030 land use plan map. For most mixed-use areas or buildings, the use and design of
property is governed by a master plan that defines specific Land uses, relationships between
uses and overall. design.
The following describes the mixed use areas in the city:
A. Mixed Use Areas with Residential
Areas planned for a mix of residential and commerciat/retail uses should be designed to
include a residential character, within specific mixed use buildings or within a compact
village area. Buffering and transitions, as wet[ as careful consideration of noise and light
impacts, are important to the viability of such mixed use areas, since they include higher
density and more activity than exclusive medium or high density neighborhoods.
Site design and access to pedestrian friendly open space and parks is important in mixed
use areas that include a residential component. Accessibility and convenient parking as
well. as streetscape enhancements in public and private areas are valued features for
residents choosing to live in mixed use areas. A range of densities and building heights is
anticipated, depending on the specific location —an -d �_c3`nitionH=.���
B. Non -Residential Mixed Use Ar s
Areas with a mix of commercial (office, service commercial, or retail) and industrial uses
rely on mobility and access to transportation systems as key to business operations (e.g.,
Loading and deliveries). Other urban design treatments should be included in the overall
site design such as cohesive signage and landscaping that contribute to the character of
the area.
IV -39 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan
.=iwtonka
Chapter IV. 2030 Land Use Plan
C. Mixed Uses Where a Single Land Use May Ultimately Be Developed
These locations are where more than one land use is considered appropriate and feasible,
but only a single land use will ultimately be developed. Decisions regarding the ultimate
land use will depend upon a specific development's ability to meet certain criteria
defined in this plan. For example, an area may be designated for either office or high-
density residential purposes. Ultimately, however, office uses may only be allowed if
commensurate transportation improvements are made to a nearby roadway.
4. Public and Semi -Public Land Uses
A. Institutional
This district accommodates public and semi-pubtic land uses including schools, religious
institutions, government buildings, and multi-purpose complexes like the Civic Center.
B. Parks and open space
Parks and open space are designated separately to distinguish between the city's officially
designated parks and those protected open space areas that are not included in them,
although they may be city -owned. The open space district includes protected open space
by public ownership, easement or other protection method.
C. Roadway rights-of-way
Includes public or private vehicular, transit and/or pedestrian rights-of-way. These areas
may be reserved for future use as a transportation route, and thus undeveloped.
D. Utility
Includes land devoted to public or private land occupied by a substation, electric
transmission line, oil or gas pipeline, water tower, municipal well, reservoir, pumping
station, water treatment facility, communications tower, or similar use.
E. Railroad
Public or private freight or passenger rail activities.
5. Water Resources
A. Lakes
Includes actual water bodies greater than six feet in depth (such as Gray's Bay and smatter
takes), and creeks.
B. Wetlands
Includes areas designated by the city's wettand protection program and maps. The actual
areas have been field mapped but must be delineated as part of the development review
process.
C. FLoodplains
Includes locations delineated on the city's and FEMA maps and sometimes overlap water
bodies and wetlands. Similar to wetlands, actual field delineation is required for
development projects.

Specific parcels for [and use change from the previous 2020 Land use plan map were identified
based on opportunities for growth along key corridors, at regional centers, or in some cases,
at several sites with specific village areas. The principal objective of these changes is to
increase housing choice and provide additional housing opportunities, vibrancy and positive
business activity at locations that support additional development intensity. The areas of
change are shown in the Appendix IV -B on the Land Use Change Sites map and table, which
indicates primary land use changes and potential residential units from the 2020 [and use map
as amended through 2007. Appendix IV -B also contains the 2020 land use plan map and table

Ca ry,
I have a call in to Kyle Colvin today to talk about the process to certify capacity in the 1 -RF -491 and 1 -RF -491(R) MCES
interceptors. He has a good understanding of flow capacity and the planning that went into this area. I also have a flow
and capacity question in to Anna Bessel with his staff. No reply yet.
Here's what I've been able to stitch together from City of Edina and public records:
MCES projected the need for 19.65 MGD peak capacity in 2030 for the 1 -RF -491 line, and the line had existing peak
flows of around 13 MGD. The I -RF -491 line was conceived and built between 2007 and 2011, and was planned to add
an additional 9 MGD to the peak flow capacity in the area.
See sections 6.C, 18 of attached EAW.
See attached map for 1 -RF -491 and I -RF -491(R) location.

The EAW also describes the treatment capacity, saying that IVICES has capacity to treat flow from the new 6e.
Would you also like information on local capacity? We have that.

Memorandum
To: Wayne Houle
From: Brian LeMon, Dan Nesler, and Michael McKinney
Subject: Southeast Edina SAC Availability Analysis
Date: July 23, 2013
c: Ross Bintner
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an analysis of available sewer capacity in southeast Edina.
Previous work related to the City's Comprehensive Plan completed in 2008 included the use of a
computer-based sanitary sewer system model, which identified some trunk lines in this area as having
limited sewer capacity remaining. The sanitary sewer model was created in 2006 as a part of an effort to
reduce inflow and infiltration to the sanitary sewer. For this work the model was updated to allow for
analysis of available capacity at the individual pipe scale. This information was then used (a) to determine
individual pipes and pipe sections in the southeast area of Edina which may be nearing capacity; and
(b) to advise a summary of future work, including where targeted metering should be conducted in the
future to improve the accuracy of analysis of potential capacity issues
Project Area
The area analyzed for this project is generally bounded on the south and east by the city limits, on the
north by Crosstown, and on the west by Valley View Road extended south to 494. Pipes outside this area
are also known to have limited capacity; however, they are not the focus of this effort. The trunk sewers
in this area carry over half of the total sanitary flow for the City.
Background
Since the completion of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the City has regularly asked Barr to look at
requests by developers and manufacturers to add flow to the sanitary sewer system. At times the added
flow has come as a result of expanded manufacturing, and at other times it has been a result of
redevelopment where an existing site -use is modified and results in a higher -density development and
added flow to the sanitary system, such as the Westin next to the Galleria. For each of these cases, a new
flow is projected for the sanitary sewer and added to the model at the proposed location. Pipe capacities
downstream of that location are then checked to see if the added flow can be handled by the system. Most

of the development has occurred in the southern part of Edina where the existing sanitary sewer system is
known to be at or very near capacity. Some of the proposed developments were built while others remain
in planning stages. Accordingly, not all of the flows from the proposed developments that were checked
have been left in the model, as some were not constructed.
As redevelopment pressure continues to rise for this part of Edina, the City is interested in a more
comprehensive review of the remaining sanitary sewer capacity which addresses multiple redevelopment
requests in a systematic, cumulative manner, rather than one at a time. This memo is part of the more
comprehensive review and provides the City with a simple tool to help estimate if a proposed
development will exceed remaining sanitary sewer capacity. Each time a new development is proposed, a
quick look at the tables in this memo will provide an estimated amount of remaining capacity in the
sewers downstream of the site. It is recommended that the model be updated and the tables be regenerated
each time a major new development is approved and on a regular basis after smaller developments are
approved. This will result in new tables that, again, can be quickly referenced when the next development
is proposed.
New developments are often characterized as generating a certain number of SAC (sewer availability
charge) units of flow. This is a unit used by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES).
One SAC unit equals 274 gallons per day of sewer flow. This unit of flow, along with gallons per minute
will be the main units used in the following analysis.
Modeling
The existing City of Edina XP-SWMM sanitary sewer model (model) was used as a base for the updated
analysis of SAC availability in Southeast Edina. The existing model, developed in 2006, accounts for all
inflows into the sanitary sewer based on 2005 winter quarter water sales. Sewer infiltration, determined
from city-wide metering efforts during model construction in 2006, was also accounted for by
incorporating pipe infiltration rates into the post -modeling results. Since the creation of the existing
model, Barr has analyzed a number of developments. At the direction of the City, four have been included
in the model so that their projected flows are accounted for in the analysis of remaining sewer capacity.
These include:
• The Westin (now constructed and in use)
• Byerly's proposed redevelopment (in planning stages)
• The Southdale Apartments (in planning stages)
• Edina Medical Plaza (in planning stages)

Estimated sanitary sewer flow from each of the four developments, shown in Table 1, was added to the
model for this updated analysis. It should be noted that this additional flow makes up much of the future
flow assumed in Scenario I of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Sanitary sewer flow estimates for the
Westin were based on water billing data from the development over a 3 -year period. The flows are lower
than those originally evaluated. The occupancy of this Westin over this period was not known, so it is
possible that flow from this development could change based on future occupancy trends.
To determine available pipe capacity at the individual -pipe scale, the theoretical capacity of each pipe in
question was calculated using the pipe materials, slope, and dimensions. This capacity was then compared
to the estimated expected peak flow at each pipe under current model conditions with the four added
properties. The current model conditions represent base flow conditions using winter quarter water use
from 2005 and infiltration rates estimated from the metering work done at the time of model creation in
2006. Note that this does not account for known flow reductions that have occurred since 2006 as a result
of the changing business climate and addition of flow reducing water fixtures. It also does not account for
the reduction in infiltration that may have occurred as the City improves its sanitary sewer collection
system and repairs known leaky pipes. Th is means that calculations of available capacity should be
conservative unless some water use has increased since the model was created.
Mean flow in each pipe was then calculated using the model. Infiltration for each pipe was also estimated
based on meter results from the time the model was constructed. With the infiltration and mean sanitary
flow rate at each pipe segment calculated, individual pipe capacity was determined using the following
equation:
Pipe Capacity 100% Infiltration Rate + Mean Flow * Peaking actor
Theoretical Maximum Pipe Capacity I
Where Infiltration Rate is the cumulative upstream infiltration flow rate at a pipe segment, Mean Flow is
the average flow rate predicted by the model at a pipe segment, Peaking Factor is the MCES Flow
Variation Factor based on the value of mean flow which includes an allowance for inflow, and
Theoretical Maximum Pipe Capacity is the maximum pipe capacity predicted by the Manning's equation.
Percent pipe capacity and all related variables are summarized in Table 2.
SAC availability was deterinined as the difference between total peak pipe flow (Infiltration Rate + Mean
Flow * Peaking Factor) and the theoretical maximum pipe capacity. SAC availability at each pipe
segment is shown in Table 3.

Results
Figure I shows the capacity of all pipe segments in the Southeast Edina sanitary sewer. Under current
modeling conditions, there are I I individual pipe segments that are predicted to be over 100 -percent
capacity during a peak inflow event. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the pipe identification numbers
(Pipe IDS) corresponding to the Pipe IDS referenced in Table 2 and Table 3. Without additional data these
pipes should already be considered to be at full capacity. As can be seen, all of the pipe segments at
capacity are along the trunk sanitary sewer line heading east along 72d St. W. towards France Ave S.
Once this east -west trunk joins with the trunk going south along France Ave. S., the pipe is no longer over
capacity but remains very close to full capacity. Percent capacity along this sewer line remains high until
the terminal connection with the Metropolitan Council Environnfental Services (MCES) Interceptor,
MCES-129. Because the majority of sanitary flows from developments in Edina ultimately reach the
MCES-129 interceptor via these trunk lines, requests for additional SAC units flowing to these pipes
should be carefully planned to make sure there is sufficient available capacity.
2012 Sanitary Flow Metering Efforts
As part of the FilmTec Flow Analysis Study, completed by Barr Engineering Co. for the City of Edina in
December of 2012, sanitary flow data was collected at several locations throughout the city, including the
MCES-129 Interceptor. As described in the modeling section of this memorandum, the model used in this
analysis was developed and calibrated based on 2005 winter quarter water sales and city-wide metering
efforts conducted in 2006. Included in the attached addendum is a comparison of modeled flow and
observed flow form the 2006 and 2012 studies. As can be seen, the model accurately predicts observed
flow in the 2006 study, but appears to over -predict flow based on metering efforts in 2012.
There are many factors which may be responsible for the model over -predicting flow during the metered
period in December of 2012. Infiltration and Inflow rates used in the model are based on the metering
efforts conducted in 2006. Since then, the City of Edina has taken efforts to reduce I&I by replacing
manhole covers and lining some pipes. From work done recently in other areas of the city we also know
that it is likely that base -line sewer flows have decreased to some extent. Additionally, the fall season of
2012 was exceptionally dry, potentially leading to lower than expected infiltration when metering efforts
were conducted in December of that year. One, all, or a combination of these factors could have led to the
over -prediction of total sanitary flow in 2012.

Conclusions and Recommendations
The sanitary sewer trunkline from 72' St, W, to France Ave, S,, currently modeled as being over
capacity, drains a relatively small portion of the project area. Most of the flow contributing to it is
pumped in from Lift Station 6 (LS -6) and comes from southwest Edina. Once it joins to trunk lines
draining with flow from southeast Edina it is no longer over capacity, however, it remains at over 80%
capacity. For this reason, it is possible for development to continue in most areas of southeast Edina.
However, because the major trunk lines leading to MCES-129 are nearing capacity, it is recommended
that the City evaluate requests for additional SAC units on a case-by-case basis.
With most of the major trunk lines immediately upstream of MCES-129 being close to capacity, it is
recommended that the City also start looking into reliever trunk lines to accommodate proposed
development in this area. New trunk lines running down York Ave. S. and a reliever line carrying flow
from LS -6 all the way to the MCES interceptor could free up significant capacity to support additional
development.
Before any major trunk line upgrade decisions are made, it is recommended that updated field metering
data be collected and compared to the data collected in 2006 for the creation of the model. Due to I&I
reduction efforts completed since 2006 and potential decreases in base -line sewer flow, it is possible that
capacity issues could be less severe than indicated by current modeling results. Even without fully
updating the model with new water use data, updated metering data will allow us to determine if baseline
flows have changed since the model was created. If baseline flows are shown to have decreased, there
may be additional capacity in the pipes not accounted for in this analysis. If flows have remained the
same or increased, there may be even less capacity in the trunk lines than this analysis shows. If updated
metering efforts are to be conducted, it is additionally recommended that extra metering efforts be taken
along the trunk line spanning from 72nd St. W. to the terminal MCES-129 interceptor, where pipe capacity
is the most limited.

Addendum
lnfiltration and inflow (1&1) used in the City of Edina XP-SV0viM sanitary sewer model (model) is based
on metering efforts conducted in February and June of 2006. Base -line sewer flows used in the model are
based on 2005 winter quarter water sales. Since 2006, redevelopment in the city of Edina, repairs to the
sanitary sewer infrastructure, and improved water consumption efficiency have likely led to changes in
expected base -line sewer flow and I&I flow.
Figure I shows meter data collected for model development in 2006 compared to meter data collected as
part of the FilmTec Flow Analysis Study, completed for the City of Edina in December of 2012. The
meter data shown was collected at the MCES- 129 interceptor. As can be seen, there is a large difference
in flow observed between the two studies. Some of the factors which may explain difference in flow rate
observed between the 2006 and 2012 studies are outlined below:
0 1&1 reduction efforts conducted by the City of Edina since 2006, including replacing manhole
covers and lining pipes.
0 Reduction in base -line sewer flow since 2006.
0 Differences in climatic conditions during the metering periods of the two studies; the fall of 2012
was exceptionally dry, potentially leading to lower than average pipe infiltration. Figure 3 shows
a comparison of monthly precipitation totals in 2006 and 2012.
Figure 2 shows the 2006 and 2012 observed flow at MCES-129 compared to the flow predicted by the
model. As can be seen, the 2006 data matches closely to the flow predicted by the model plus expected
infiltration, whereas the 2012 matches more closely to the flow predicted by the model without the
addition of infiltration. This observation could be caused by one or any combination of the factors
outlined above. To better understand which factors are contributing to the decrease in observed flow and
to help evaluate if updated calibration of the model is required, it is recommended that updated metering
efforts be carried out, especially in areas identified as at or near capacity by current model projections. In
addition to this, once the City has completed its water meter replacement program, new water use data
should be added to the model to ensure more accurate calculation of base sanitary flow.

RE. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Transportation Impacts
City of Edina, MN

A Comprehensive Plan amendment was recently submitted to Metropolitan Council for the
Lennar (6725 York Ave) project. During discussion with Metropolitan Council for that request
they concluded that the City needed to establish new residential density ranges for the City's
mixed use Districts, to better align with the description of the uses allowed within each of the
Districts.
As part of the review in establishing the residential density ranges, transportation impacts need to
be considered. In general it can be concluded that: There is adequate roadway capacity to
support the proposed residential density ranges in the mix use Districts. This finding is
based on the following:
I . Per City Code, with each development proposal submitted to the City a detailed Traffic
Study is required to document local and regional traffic impacts. These studies include
evaluating the existing and forecasted 20 year roadway capacities. They take into account
approved developments adjacent to the proposed project, as well as general traffic growth
in the area. The studies will recommend any existing or future roadway mitigation
required to accommodate the development. The studies are coordinated with Hennepin
County and MnDOT if there roadways are impacted by the development proposal.
2. The City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan included forecasts based on households,
population and employment for each Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ). The TA -Z's do not
align with specific land use districts and are based on anticipated developable land. In
mixed use districts, although some of the household and population forecasts are low, the
corresponding employment forecasts are high. Therefore if additional households are
included in a specific District, the corresponding employment numbers would be reduced
which would balance the traffic generation. Attached is the TAZ map from the City's
Transportation Plan and a summary of the effected TAZ's with the forecasted current
Transportation Plans, Households, Population and Employment compared to the 1999
Plan and that included in the current (2014) Metropolitan Council Travel Demand Model.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22,2008
7:00 A.M
Mayor Hovland called the meeting to order at 7:00 a.m. in the Community Room of Edina
City Hall. Answering rollcall were Members Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson and Mayor
Hovland. Also present were Planning Commissioners Brown, Fischer, Risser, Schroeder,
Staunton, and Chair Lonsbury. Staff present included Gordon Hughes, City Manager;
Heather Worthington, Assistant City Manager, Cary Teague, Planning Director, Dan
Cornejo, Comprehensive Plan Coordinator, and Debra Mangen, City Clerk.
Mayor Hovland said the purpose of the study session was to review the draft of the 2008
Comprehensive Plan. Manager Hughes briefly outlined the history of the Comprehensive
Plan revision to date. Dan Cornejo presented an overview of the changes made from the
1998 Comprehensive Plan and the draft of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update.
The Council, Planning Conuydssioners and Staff reviewed and discussed the draft plan as
follows:
0 Improve the definitions of "step down" and "step back" in Land Use and
Community Design chapter. "Step down"' means that buildings should step down
to the sidewalk; "step back" means that buildings should step back from nearby
and adjacent lower -height residential areas. A drawing or photo will be added to
help illustrate the term.
0 Clarify bonus height and density - developers would need to earn either in
exchange for
0 450 acres or about 5% of the city could change in terms of land use and densities.
The other 95% is not recommended to change. The draft Plan does con-unent that
within this 95%, and possibly within the other 5%, there could be proposals to make
smaller zoning changes to facilitate the provision of affordable housing, lifecycle
housing to accommodate seniors' needs. However, the draft Plan does not call for
immediate zoning changes, nor does it specify certain areas for these changes. This
point was emphasized: NO changes are recommended in the single-family areas.
a The height maps need an accompanying narrative text that details what heights are
recommended for which areas.
a Change map on page 4-50, regarding the Cahill area: the OR area should be 12-16
stories, and the GMU area should be 3-5 stories.
* Develop better definition of lifecycle housing and inclusionary housing.
0 Potential links between height -density -transportation.
0 Mixed used development and its future potential
0 What, if any zoning changes would be implied by the Housing Chapter. Plan would
be a policy or visioning document.
* Receipt and review of the recently written Energy and Environment chapter

ROLLCALL Answering rolicall were Members Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson and Mayor
Hovland.
Mayor Hovland noted the purpose of the special meeting was to allow residents to comment
on the proposed draft update of the Edina Comprehensive Plan. Following the hearing, he said
there would be a forty-five day written public comment period. The Council was at the
beginning of their work on the update to the Comprehensive Plan.
John Lonsbury, 6716 Southdale Road, Planning Commission Chair, used PowerPoint and
presented the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update.
Dan Cornejo, Comprehensive Planning Consultant, Planning Director Teague and Assistant
Manager Worthington offered clarifications and comments in response to questions of the
Council.
Public Comment
Arrie Larsen Manti, President, Edina Chamber of Commerce, 7701 Normandale Road Suite
101, stated that the Chamber hoped the City continued to work with business in Edina. She
referred to the three entities: the Edina School District, the City of Edina and Edina businesses
that must work together. Ms. Manti said 51,000 persons come into Edina Monday through
Friday to work with mostly a positive effect. Ms. Manti said the Edina Chamber and
businesses thanked the Planning Commission and city staff for the hard work and expressed
their hope to be able to continue the working relationship that makes Edina a premier place to
work and live.
John Elliot, 5904 Lee Valley Road, stated his concerns over increased traffic that would result
from an increase in density and added if his concerns were not listened to, he may have to
move out of Edina.
Ronald Rich, 7008 West Shore Drive, stated he was having a problem with the projected
increased density seeming incongruous with what appeared to be the small projected
population increase. Mr. Rich said that tall towers do not represent Edina and something was
not being planned correctly and was off track. He said he did not want high density in Edina
and asked for an answer to why it was being projected.
Cassandra Mihalchick, 7227 Lewis Ridge Parkway, said she was the President of the Cahill
Lewis Neighborhood Association with over 500 members. She stated the concerns of the
Association regarding the proposed Draft Comp Plan. They included concern over increased
density, potential high rises, and affordable housing. The Association would refute that adding
more affordable housing or low income housing to our current mix outweigh the concrete
negatives of the lower average tax base, more traffic and more pressure on the Edina
infrastructure. She said that achieving Edina should be something to work towards and not
automatically granted. The Association would oppose any density bonuses to developers
building affordable housing. The Housing Section of the Plan was out of sync with the desires
of the Edina citizens. They particularly 6j"tIW "Rosed plans for the Cahill Gardens.

contentious issue and important point of the plan. The landscape will be affected by what was
done permanently. The Plan projected the wishes of the Comp Plan Task Force and Planning
Commission, but not the residents. He said that the consultants and planners vision was what
the Draft Plan contained and that the citizens were not represented by the drafters of the
proposed plan.
Jerry Paar, 6201 Virginia Avenue South, said that he had attended the quadrant meeting held
earlier and specifically asked about the Valley View and Wooddale Area. In the information
provided that evening, the traffic was estimated to increase by 6,000 vehicles per day. Mr.
Paar asked where increased traffic would come from and why affordable housing was
proposed to be increased. He noted that the Met Council would not require the City to increase
their affordable housing by over 500 units, He stated he thought the plan was untried and said
he found it flawed to be told that the choice was between lower buildings that would use up the
green space or taller buildings that would block out the sun and not allow green space.
Doug Mayo, 6041 Kellogg Avenue South, said he was Chair of Edina Housing Task Force that
had drafted the Housing Succession Plan. Mr. Mayo clarified that the 500 units of increased
housing in the proposed plan would include 288 units of life cycle housing (this was housing
that will be purchased by families earning between $47,000 and over $90,000) and 212 units
of affordable housing (for person with incomes at 60% of median income or less). He said the
affordable housing would be similar to what is already in Edina, such as Yorkdale, Centennial
Lake, South Haven and some other apartment. He suggested there was a need for family and
life cycle housing in Edina.
Bill Griffith, representing TE Miller Development, 7900 Xerxes Avenue, Bloomington, offered
compliments on the comprehensive public process being followed by the Council and staff
during the Comprehensive Plan Update. He stated there were issues with the area around
Southdale and the loss of development potential. He suggested the Council consider his
March 24, 2008 letter stating a reduction in FAR would result in a down -zoning without
compensation.
Ron Miller, 6921 York Avenue, owner of property at 7716 France Avenue, suggested that if the
goal of the new plan was to see projects built with certain features, only a true density bonus
system would work. He warned decrease in FAR would cause landowners to keep what they
have or build all retail.
Susan Covnick, 4715 Golf Terrace, said she was disappointed by behavior she observed. Ms.
Covnick stated Edina was unique because it does not want change that was constantly being
attempted to be foisted on the citizens, She said people are upset, angry and disappointed
because they do not want the proposed changes. Ms. Covnick said people were there
because they loved Edina and did not want to change.
Vivian Talghader, 7504 Hyde Park Drive, asked if the Council was considering the plan in part
or as a whole. If changes were made to the draft plan would public input be sought at that
point. She also asked if the plan were adopted would the City be held accountable to the Plan
and if neighbors directly affected by small area plans would be notified when the plans were
under consideration.

Al Kluesner, 6417 Colony Way, suggested that if most of the re -development over the next ten
years would be occurring south of TH62 and east of Cahill, the City Council become more pro-
active in getting representation on boards and commissions from that area.
Maire Katyal, 5177 Abercrombie Drive, said she was a former designer and planner in the
State of Texas. She asked that the stress on the schools by additional development be
considered. Ms. Katyal added that she would prefer owner -occupied housing and was
opposed to more rental housing in the Cahill area. She asked that one West 70th Street higher
buildings be set back from homes for light and air.
Virginia Borgeson, 6216 Ewing Avenue South, said she understood the goal of the Updated
Comprehensive Plan and stated residents did not want increased density. She objected to the
Comprehensive Plan removing decision-making from the residents and giving it to the City
Council. She said she objected to the plan satisfying the desires of the developers. She also
objected to increasing mixed-use plans, and cited numerous pages in the draft plan to which
she objected.
Linda George, 5145 Tifton Drive, stated she did not feel there was neighborhood input from
her neighborhood in the Comp Plan. She said that the persons drafting the Comprehensive
Plan understand the impact of the traffic on Brookview Heights. She suggested that individual
notices should be sent to each household in Edina notifying them of the update to the
Comprehensive Plan. She also objected to tall buildings and said they would have a negative
impact on adjacent neighborhoods.
Sharon Ming, 1103 Coventry Place, said she was disturbed by comments about not wanting
change. Edina has already changed many times from agrarian community to post-war suburb
to the present. Ms. Ming stated change would come no matter what and she felt the proposed
Comp Plan was an opportunity to embrace the change. She urged inclusion of affordable
housing, encouraging diversity in age and economics as a way to maintain Edina's vitality.
John Bohan, 800 Coventry Place, noted that tugging and pulling were typical of planning. He
said that several things have come out of the process. Using the graphic, he noted some
changes that. have been completed. Mr. Bohan suggested the promenade area be finalized,
expressed concern over heights of buildings and suggested heights be limited to four stories
until the study was completed.
Linda Presthus, 4521 Belvidere Lane, asked for clarification of the question of whether the City
of Edina was bound by statute of any kind to add 212 affordable housing units between the
years of 2011 and 2020.
Mark Chamberlain, 7004 Bristol Boulevard, agreed with Ms. Ming and suggested Edina should
shape the future changes rather than react to them. He suggested the future be shaped with
lower densities and lower height building. Higher density will lead to more traffic without
increasing the infrastructure to the area that has already been saturated. He urged the
restriction of building heights and density.
Michael Fischer, 4512 Dunham Drive, stated he was a member of the Planning Commission
and Comp Man I ask Force. He said ne ffiv so

proposed in the land use section of the p housing. The 212 units were affordable
required by the Met Council, an additiol were for people earning an average
income of $62,800 and 113 units for peo an average of $90,275. He said these
would be made up of teachers, fire fighters an ental hygienists. Mr. Fischer said that Edina
would not stop traffic growth because Edina was surrounded by growing communities peopled
by commuters who have learned that Edina streets were better than the freeway system. He
pointed out that the Edina Schools were bringing in 1,000 students annually because there
were not enough students in Edina which pointed to a need for life cycle housing.
Peggy Buxton, 7500 Cahill Road, said she has been a 40 year resident and has seen a great
deal of change. She said she lived on the first floor facing east of her property and said that a
building even three stories would block the sun on her building. She suggested lower building
heights.
John Snyder, 5705 Lois Lane, said that a registered sex offered lived close to his property. He
asked about the low income units and who would move into to them, expressing concern
about the safety of his children. He asked the Council to explain why his fears were
unfounded or if it was thought there was some merit in them, then why proceed and put the
safety of young children at risk.
Member Masica made a motion, seconded by Member Housh to close the public
hearing, noting the wriften record would remain open for 45 days.

out the height of various buildings in the Cahill area. The Council discussed various aspects of building
heights with staff and the Planning Commissioners.
It was noted that the Cahill Industrial Area (east of Cahill Road, west of Hwy 100 and north of 1-494) was
an area where the draft plan noted a potential for increased density. The Council discussed the following
acceptable heights for the area: three stories, east side of Cahill and south side of 70th Street and the
neighbors would not object to eight stories adjacent to Hwy 100. Discussion also included: increasing
green space in relation to increasing height, impact of change in one neighborhood affecting adjacent
neighborhoods, the vibrancy of neighborhood adjacent to freeways, whether or not zoning would need to
change if the comprehensive plan changed the designation of an area (the City would have nine months
to change zoning and then only change zoning if in conflict with plan), mixed use development,
residential over retail development, whether industrial areas should be retained, purpose of the
Comprehensive Plan to give guidance to developers and protection to residents, need to balance uses
(i.e. commercial, industrial, residential), residents' desire to not increase height or density, development
of vision, need for small area plans and maintenance of infrastructure.
The Council agreed the Cahill Industrial area from the railroad tracks to Highway 100 should be included
in a small area study, there should be a maximum height of three stories and the zoning should not
change. Future work sessions should review other potential areas of change including: Southdale area,
44 th Street and France Avenue, the Grandview area, France Avenue north of Highway 62, and Valley
View Road and Wooddale Avenue.

present included: Gordon Hughes, City Manager, Heather Worthington, Assistant City Manager;
Ceil Smith, Assistant to the City Manager; Cary Teague, Planning Director; Roger Knutson, City
Attorney; and Debra Mangen, City Clerk.
Mayor Hovland said the purpose of the work session was to continue discussion of the Land Use
Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan.
Member Masica stated she was uncomfortable allowing residential uses in conjunction with
commercial and industrial uses and therefore opposed permitting residential uses in the industrial
and commercial area.
The Council discussed the area bordered by Metro Boulevard on the east, West 70th Street on the
north, Cahill Road on the west, and West 78 th Street on the south. The issues included: existing
and potential allowable heights of buildings in the area, current zoning of the area designated NC
in the draft comp plan, effect of changing zoning on property values, existing and potential floor
area ratio (FAR), desire to preserve commercial/industrial uses in Edina, the zoningshould stay a . s
fit was in. the area described in the plan as NC., the area designated GMU should maintain light
:industrial and. commercial without residential, mixed land use concept, and uses that would be
allowed within an industrial zoning designation.
Staff and Council also discussed Small Area Plan Studies and Potential Areas of Change that
might trigger such studies. It was noted that the draft Comp Plan might be less prescriptive if it
were to read "the City Council may direct staff to conduct a Small Area Plan Study in certain areas
comprised of multiple parcels and/or identified as Potential Areas of Change within the Comp
Plan."
The Council pointed out several corrections/revisions to the draft Comp Plan which staff will
incorporate into the document.

joined the meeting between approximately 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Mayor Hovland said the purpose of the study session was to continue review of the Land Use chapter
of the Draft Comprehensive Plan Update 2008
The Council discussed the area described as the greater Southdale Area bordered by the City's
easterly and southerly boundaries, by TH 62 to the north and generally one parcel of land in depth
west of France Avenue. The issues included: density, whether or not Floor Area Ratio should be
adjusted, heights of buildings, buildings that would have a tower stepping down to a podium on the
edges of the development nearer the street, setback, existing zoning, potential changes in zoning, the
importance of encouraging a pedestdan friendly environment, concern regarding maintaining the
vibrancy of the area, and infrastructure improvements potentially triggered by re -development or
density changes. Staff noted that when speaking of building height,, building codes allow stick -built
method of construction for buildings up to four stories, that buildings five and six stories were allowed
to use a transitional type of construction, but buildings taller than six stories required full masonry
construction. Acceptable heights based on the draft plan were suggested and staff recorded those
changes.
The Council asked Attorney Knutson if an existing 13 story building would be rebuilt, how many
stories high statute would allow. Mr. Knutson responded the law would allow the building to be rebuilt
to the same height. It was also noted that affordable housing would be favorably received in the
residential areas. The Council felt it would be good to take time to reflect upon what the appropriate
heights should be in the area.

Member Masica commented that she would not be at the September 2, 2008, Council meetings.
Staff recapped the results of the July 22, 2008, work session dealing with the greater Southdale
area of the city. The Council finished their discussion of appropriate heights in the area and staff
recorded the suggested heights. Some items from the discussion included: the ability to maintain
the vibrancy of the area, potential future ownership of Southdale, community vision for Edina did
not embrace height, traffic congestion, and differing heights of individual stories effect on the
overall height of the building, desire to maintain or increase green space, and the desire to
encourage pedestrian friendly redevelopment if possible.
After concluding their discussion of the greater Southdale area, the Council next began the review
of the France corridor north of Trunk Highway 62. Discussion included the regional medical

Assistant City Manager; Kris Aaker, Assistant Planner; and Debra Mangen, City Clerk.
Mayor Hovland said the purpose of the work session was to continue the review of the
Land Use Chapter of the draft Comprehensive Plan. Council reviewed the outcomes of
their previous discussions of the Land Use Chapter.
Council discussion included: desire for a list of consensus items, concern about Regional
Medical District zoning and density, future development of small area plans after the Comp
Plan had been approved, and the need to potentially amend zoning regulations to coincide
with the Comp Plan. It was decided that the neighborhood commercial nodes (50th &
France, Wooddale and Valley View Road, 44 th and France, 70th and Cahill and Grandview)
would remain with the same land designations and overall heights as currently existed until
small area plans had been completed.
Assistant Manager Worthington reviewed briefly the comments received from Three Rivers
Park District and the Metropolitan Council on the Edina Draft Comprehensive Plan.
Areas for which small area plans would be completed in the future included: 50th &
France, Wooddale & Valley View, 44 th & France, Cahill & 70th , Grandview, and 54 th &
France. There was also discussion of whether or not Southdale should be considered for
a small �area plan.

Answering rollcall were: Members Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson and Mayor Hovland. Attending
from the Edina Transportation Commission were Geof Workinger and Jennifer Janovy (also on the Bike
Edina Task Force) and Sara Jacobs from the Bike Edina Task Force. Staff present included: Gordon
Hughes, City Manager; Heather Worthington, Assistant City Manager; Wayne Houle, City Engineer;
Jack Sullivan, Assistant Engineer; Chuck Rickart, WSB, Consultant; and Debra Mangen, City Clerk.
Mayor Hovland said the purpose of the study session was to review the Transportation Chapter of the
draft Comprehensive Plan. Member Masica commented that there was a rumor circulating there was no
intention to finish the review of the draft Comp Plan by year end. Mayor Hovland said he believed the
Council was to finish their work in October and submit the draft plan to Met Council by November.
Manager Hughes assured the Council there was no intent to defer a decision on the draft plan until
2009. He stated staff was willing to meet whenever the Council desired to complete the review. He
suggested that the Council also discuss whether they want to hold a public hearing on the revised draft
plan.
The Council conducted a review of Chapter 7 Transportation Plan. Included in the discussion were:
Edina's functional classification of roadways and its difference with Met Council's listing of functional
classification of roadways, how the functional classification was developed, criteria used to derive terms
with which streets and roads have been labeled, how changing roadway classification could impact
availability of state or federal funds, desire for development of an overarching narrative to describe
departure from functional classification, Bike Edina Task Force Comprehensive Bike Plan and its need
for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan, need to review draft plan for consistency of terminology and
references between chapters, Traffic Demand Management Plans development and use, crash
reduction strategies for major trouble points, working with various agencies and jurisdictions on 25 mph
speed limit, transportation as it relates to transit, speed reduction strategy for school zones,
development of park and ride locations and possible funding sources for updating TH 62 interchange.
Staff noted suggested revisions and corrections during the review.
The Council discussed the timing and process for adopting a final draft of the Comprehensive Plan for
submittal to the Metropolitan Council. They felt they could review the remaining chapters: Heritage
Preservation, Water Resources, Park, Energy and Environment and Community Services in one more
work session set for 5:00 p.m. October 7, 2008. The Council will e-mail any issues to the City Manager
regarding these chapters by September 30, 2008. The issues will be consolidated to facilitate
th
discussion on October 7
It was decided that the revisions will be completed and the revised red -lined draft will be submitted to the
Council in its entirety in late October. The updated draft will also be posted online. The Council will give
staff any final updates November 3, 2008, and those will also be posted on the web as soon as possible.
It was anticipated that a hearing date would be set for November 18, 2008, to consider the final draft and
presumably approve that draft for submission to Met Council.

Council discussion included: Housing Task Force's development of the Housing
Succession Plan, Housing Task Force's goal of 500 units, Metro Livable Communities Act
goal of 212 affordable units, percentage of Edina housing currently at an affordable price,
definition of affordable housing, inclusionary zoning and its meaning and implications, and
the desire that affordable housing be ownership vs. rental, concern over allowing two

Minutes/Edina Citv Council/October 21,2008
The Council discussion included: the depth of the monitoring wells were 15-17 feet deep; any
purchaser of this property would request a no -action letter since the property issues needed to be
resolved with ConAgra; the MPCA might require ConAgra to conduct additional investigations,
perhaps to determine if this substance originated from this property or was the result of a flow from
other properties; and that sale of bonds at this time would be premature since it could be six months
before the no -action letter would be issued. Mr. Hughes advised that the budget included a debt
service levy in anticipation of selling these bonds later this fall or during 2009. In December, the
Council will make the decision whether or not to have a debt service levy start in 2009 in anticipation
of selling the bonds.
The Council noted the market in six months cannot be predicted at this time and the amendment
would give the unilateral decision whether or not to sell bonds. The Council questioned whether the
seller would be willing to issue an environmental assurance for unknown conditions. Mr. Hughes
advised it was too early for such a negotiation with ConAgra, but there were different kinds of no -
action letters and, based on the type issued, it was possible the City may negotiate additional
assurances from ConAgra. The Council discussed the potential need for and cost of ground water
remediation and noted that once the no -action letter was issued, the MPCA would still have the ability
to require action under certain circumstances.
The Council noted the amendment: would provide an additional 60 days of due diligence after the no -
action letter comes forward, would provide the City with flexibility in deciding what to do about
environmental issues, and the $100,000 would be returned if the City determined to not proceed to
closing. Staff was directed to provide the Council with additional bond levy information to assist with
that decision, noting it had until December 16, 2008, to make that decision. It was noted there were
substantial savings in capitalized interest costs when this was considered previously. Member
Bennett made a motion, seconded by Member Housh, to approve an amendment to the
purchase agreement for 7450 Metro Boulevard to extend the closing date; extend the due
diligence period until 60 days after the issuance of the no -action letter for the City to evaluate
its sufficiency and to arrange financing for the acquisition; and, permit the City to terminate
the agreement if it determined that the no -action letter was not acceptable or financing feasible
prior to the end of the extended due diligence period.
Ayes: Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
UPDATE OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ROADWAY FUNCTIONAL CLASS SYSTEM
Engineer/Public Works Director Houle advised that the Functional Class System in the Transportation
Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan does not match the Metropolitan Council's mapping, which
became apparent during the Metropolitan Council's pre -review, At that time, staff explained the
functional class map was identical with the 1999 Comprehensive Plan and staff did not know
Metropolitan Council's mapping had changed when redone three years ago. Mr. Houle stated staff
and Peter Langworthy of WSB met with Metropolitan Council staff and it was determined that Edina
either needed to replicate in its Plan the Metropolitan Council map and functional classifications or
request approval for map changes from the Metropolitan Council and its Technical Advisory Board.
Mr. Houle displayed the Metropolitan Council's current mapping, explained how it differed from
Edina's mapping, and presented staff's recommendations for agreements with Metropolitan Council
classifications and requests for change. He also explained the hierarchy of road classifications and
how they were categorized, noting the advantage of funding tied to A -minor arterial roadways.
The Council discussion included: the number of vehicles per day� carried by collector (1,000 to
15,000) and B -minor arterial roadways (5,000 to 30,000); funding advantage for A -minor arterial
roadways; impact of land use concentrations of residential or commercial/retail developments on road
classifications; the importance of connectivity and standard consistency; concern about function of the
roadway going forward; and, risks to residents who live on those roadways. The Council noted that
when Edina was built, it was the outer suburb so future construction of the roadway system to outer
areas had not been envisioned.
Page 6
Minutes/Edina City Council/October 21, 2008
Peter Langworthy, WSB, explained the classification was based on the amount of traffic the roadway
carried. He advised there were not clear-cut mandates that an arterial must have certain design
criteria. Rather, there were guiding principals, and if a roadway was designated as a collector as
opposed to a B -minor arterial, it would not have a major change on how that roadway would be
designed moving forward. He noted Edina was a mature City with a mature roadway system. Mr.
Langworthy said certain roadways, due to basic features and development had regional significance.
For example, a road that had an interchange at one end and major commercial enterprise at the other
end, would be of regional significance.
The Council noted that twenty percent of the City's mileage of roadways was designated as Municipal
State Aid (MSA) roadways. Additionally, all of the road segments being discussed, with the exception
of 58 th Street, were on the MSA system. The Council expressed concern that changing a designation
from collector to another status expanded the potential for future developmental capability. Mr. Houle
suggested the future land use had been identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The Council discussed
that the Comprehensive Plan required the City to adequately control access points to the regional
roadway system, and the Comprehensive Plan would establish and more clearly define the
connection between land use and transportation. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by
Member Bennett, to recommend the following functional classifications to the Metropolitan
Council:
• That A-1 CSAH 158 (Vernon Avenue South/Gleason Road) from TH 62 (Crosstown) to
TH 100 be upgraded to an A -Minor Arterial Roadway;
• That B-1 York Avenue So./Xerxes Avenue from TH62 to South City Limit and B-7 Valley
View Road/West 69th Street from West 66 th Street to CSAH 31 (York Avenue South) be
upgraded to B -Minor Arterial Roadways
• That B-2 Blake Road/Interlachen Road from the north City limits/Spruce Road to
Vernon Avenue, B-3 Londonderry Road/Lincoln Drive/Vernon Avenue South from
TH169 to Gleason Road, B-4 Cahill Road from West 78th Street to West 70th Street, B-5
West 70th Street from Cahill Road to CSAH 17 (France Avenue), B-6 Normandale
Road/Valley View Road from Benton Avenue to TH 62 (Crosstown) be designated
Collector Streets
Ayes: Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
RESOLUTION POSTPONED - PETITION TO NINE MILE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT FOR
STREAM BANK STABILIZATION The Council questioned whether submission of a petition to the
Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD) would be in conflict with work of Bike Edina Task Force
to establish a bike trail in this area. Engineer/Public Works Director Houle explained that for the last
two years, the NMCWD had asked Edina staff to submit a petition, which would open funding for CIP
projects. He explained the NMCWD's project was to stabilize the banks from erosion, to realign the
Creek in some areas, and to add a trail where it would match the Three Rivers trails. The Council
expressed concern that the two projects may not be compatible. Mr. Houle noted that a project had
not yet been identified and while Three Rivers had not committed funding to a trail, they had started a
preliminary review of the feasibility and potential location for a trail.
City Manager Hughes advised that the Manager of the NMCWD had encouraged Edina to submit this
petition, which would provide another source of funds into the corridor that did not exist today. This
was the mechanism that cities used, a petition process to access the levy authority of the watershed
district. He noted that Edina was one of the last communities to take advantage of this process.
The Council discussed that residents have not indicated support for a bank stabilization project but
have asked why there was not a bike trail in Edina or park land to bike between, as identified formally
in the community survey. The Council noted the City's budget constraints and past discussion to cut
$25,000 from trail maintenance, even though construction of more trails and maintaining current trails
was identified as a top priority by Edina residents. It was also noted that Edina taxpayers contribute

concept of "overhousing" in Chapter 3; and desirability by the community of mixed-use
developments in Chapter 4.

Mayor Hovland thanked the many citizens and groups for their participation and hard work in drafting the
Comprehensive Plan.
Assistant City Manager Worthington Pd stat ed that in late 2006 the City undertook to
update the Comprehensive Plan as required by State Statute. She gadyised reviewed 90 the process
W44, used, led by the Planning Commission, task force groups, citizens, staff members and
consultants. The Council received the draft Comprehensive Plan on March 3, 2008, had now completed
its review, and directed staff to schedule a public hearing for December 2, 2008. Ms. Worthington stated
if the draft resolution was approved, the Comprehensive Plan would be submitted to the Metropolitan
Council for its review process, which could take up to one year. When completed, the Council would be
asked to adopt the Comprehensive Plan sometime in 2009 and then make Zoning Code amendments
within nine months to comply with the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m.
Public Testimony
Sharon Ming, 1103 Coventry Place, stated she was a 27 -year resident and served on the Human Rights
and Relations Commission for 19 years. She also served on the Housing Task Force that helped draft
the Housing Section of this Plan. Ms. Ming detailed the open process created by the Council that
included over a hundred volunteers, hundreds of committee meetings and public listening sessions.
These meetings were attended by hundreds of citizens who provided creative input that would guide the
City's development and growth over the next 10-15 years. Ms. Ming estimated that 120 meetings were
held and at a value of $25 per hour, there was probably $100,000 worth of free volunteer time from
people with expertise. Ms. Ming asserted that over the last nine months, since the Council undertook its
review of the Plan, the Council had subverted its own public process. She suggested the Council made
substantial changes without the benefit of community input and did not release the final draft to the public
until just eight days ago, over the Thanksgiving weekend. Ms. Ming stated she felt this draft of the
Comprehensive Plan had a lot of background and history; however, very little vision or strategy and very
few ideas about what Edina wanted to see happen over next 10-15 years. She encouraged the Council
not to approve or submit this Plan to the Metropolitan Council because it would not serve Edina well.
Cappy Moore, 6768 Valley View Road, stated she was a 24 -year resident and in 2000 was one of four
residents representing three area churches who met to discuss Edina's housing situations through the
eyes of the faith community who wondered what Edina would look like if it became more diverse. She
advised of the 30-40 meetings that were held over the next seven years including two public forums in
2004. Ms. Moore stated that Council Member Masica attended a public forum and had indicated her
surprise to see 150 people in favor of affordable housing. Mayor Hovland had attended the 2006 public
forum and gave the key address about change coming to Edina, a first -ring suburb, and the need to keep
Edina moving into the future. Ms. Moore noted the public had spoken for more affordable housing, but it
was cut from the Comprehensive Plan. She reviewed her involvement to attend meetings with diverse
groups who spoke of their desire for an economically diverse city. Ms. Moore asked what happened to
the Edina's vision and stated she did not understand why the Council disregarded the work charged to
the Task Force and the public's input. She stated that as a member of a strong united faith community, a
Page 2
Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2, 2008
Task Force member, and mother to six grown children, she believed there was room in Edina for
families, single moms with one income wanting a secure environment, and newly -arrived immigrants.
Ms. Moore stated Edina would be a better community for saying "yes" to those who want a new life in
Edina. She asked the Council to be responsive to the work and moral fiber of this community and to
reconsider and look with fresh eyes at the recommendations originally presented in the Comprehensive
Plan.
Sister Mary Madonna Ashton, 4401 Valley View Road, Apartment 2, stated she was a 26 -year resident
and excited to attend meetings about the Comprehensive Plan that showed an effort to revitalize the
community by encouraging young families, professionals and skilled workers to live as well as work in
Edina. Sister Ashton stated that young people were needed to revitalize the community and asked the
Council to explain why, in Chapter 5, Section 10, the goals stated by the Housing Task Force and
unanimously approved by the Council to study in 2006 got scraped from the Comprehensive Plan. She
stated she was very disappointed.
Sally Krusell, 6229 Hanson Road, stated she was a 24 -year resident who moved to Edina from Highland
Park because she wanted her daughter to attend Edina schools. She was a single parent and served on
the Housing Task Force, spent a lot of time volunteering and bringing in experts who volunteered their
time to provide information. Ms. Krusell stated she was floored by all that was cut from the Housing Plan
and asked why she wasted her time as a volunteer. She read a portion of the Housing Succession Plan
indicating: "mix of housing types and values was necessary to insure that those who contribute to the
community can live in the community if they desire" and asked why that was stricken from the Plan. Ms.
Krusell stated her children attended Edina schools but now cannot afford to live here. Ms. Krusell urged
the Council to not accept the Comprehensive Plan.
Patrick Downey, 7501 Hyde Park Drive, stated he was a 25 -year resident, had sons and -a career raising
institutional capital for commercial developers. He followed the Comprehensive Plan cycle and was
impressed with the professionalism and citizen input. However, he was shocked that the Council
removed portions of the Housing Section. Mr. Downey referenced Chapter 5-21, Item 3, and asked why
the 500 -unit goal for affordable housing was reduced to 212 units, noting some units would have gone to
seniors. He stated his son married an Edina girl but lives in St. Louis Park because they cannot afford a
house in Edina. Mr. Downey stated Edina needed to be revitalized by attracting young families to
maintain its tax base and schools. He suggested affordable housing would provide better opportunity to
attract young families, nurses, teachers and firefighters. Mr. Downey asked why the recommendation
had been struck encouraging multiple building types or the expansion of mixed-use development. Mr.
Downey urged the Council not to pass the Comprehensive Plan as written and to review the document
as drafted by the Planning Commission that incorporated a long-term vision for the City and housing
recommendations.
Rev. Gregory Welch, Church of St. Patrick, 6820 St. Patrick's Lane, stated he speaks to the question not
of product or process but that the people who had come to the hearings and put together the
Comprehensive Plan document were in an unresolved conundrum as to what was done. He pointed out
it only takes two Council Members to see the document was not passed tonight. Rev. Welch stated the
City Council and Mayor were credible people who listen and if they disagree, have an articulate way to
do so; however, that negotiation takes time. He stated the deadline was the end of December but it
could be extended for that type of reason. Rev. Welch commented that years ago, Edina was a
"sandbox", but development happened because of the creativity of community leaders. Now creativity
was needed to provide housing for seniors and the people who work here, teaching in Edina's schools
and serving on the police force. Rev. Welch urged the Council to take more time so there can be further
dialogue.
Stefan Helgeson, 3609 West 55 th Street, stated- he was a 28 -year resident and echoed the comments
already expressed tonight. He displayed Chapter 2, Vision and Objectives of the Draft Plan, and drew
attention to the areas that had been removed. He concurred with the opinion that the public process had
been truncated, which was unfortunate because many people cared about what happened in Edina. Mr.
Helgeson stated the Council had in its hands the vision of Edina and could stretch to serve the future or
Page 3
Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2. 2008
squander it by not hearing the participants in this process. He stated he was a participant and was very
concerned about the process and precedence this set in Edina. Mr. Helgeson suggested that Edina was
sitting on its laurels while surrounding communities were getting award-winning developments. He
stressed the need to become a leader in developing Edina, a suburban first -ring community, through an
urban process. He felt the Comprehensive Plan did not address those future opportunities to become
leaders, noting LRT had passed Edina by and the Council had said "no" to bike trails that would have
provided connection to other communities. Mr. Helgeson suggested the Comprehensive Plan was the
vehicle to bring Edina into the next decade and he could not understand how the Comprehensive Plan
ended in its current state. He recommended the Council not approve the Comprehensive Plan and look
at it again.
Dan Gieseke, 6800 Point Drive, stated he was a 17 -year resident and attracted to Edina by its
leadership, innovation and being a premier suburb. He stated the Comprehensive Plan should be the
"tool" spoken about by others that would set Edina apart. Mr. Gieseke stated he participated in the public
meetings and was excited about the process to provide input but now thought that residents were being
short changed with this draft of the Comprehensive Plan. He urged the Council to reconsider the prior
information from public input and consulting groups. He noted there had been considerable expense,
time and effort in this process and that many of the people who worked on the Update to the Plan did not
feel right about the outcome.
Gene Persha, 6917 Cornelia Drive, stated he had attended more meetings of the Comprehensive Plan
than most citizens, and did not like how it started or finished but thanked all who participated. He stated
he had read the document three or four times and while he was not satisfied with the document, he
understood reality. Mr. Persha stated he took strong exception to the sentence in Section 4-1 indicating:
"Land uses in Edina are the result of dynamic natural forces that shape the present landscape." He
stated he had noticed that development went hand-in-hand with infrastructure, and there was a profound
impact if infrastructure was lacking. He suggested some areas of the City would take Small Area Plans
and stated his concern that Edina needed better citizen participation and citizens should be able to
choose their own representatives instead of having them appointed by the Council. Mr. Persha
referenced Section 5-10, Neighborhood Character, and indicated that he liked to think Edina's
neighborhoods had character, but it was incumbent on commercial and office uses to be incorporated
into that character and complementary to the residential neighborhood. He suggested broadening the
definition of rental property since residents in all parts of Edina had become concerned about rental of
individual homes, which they believed were a defect in their neighborhood. Mr. Persha stated he was
not sure whether licensing or a time limit was needed, but people who rented out homes had an
obligation to keep up their pFepeq location. He felt that mixed-use was not the only answer to increaseo
q
density, and green space was never a tradeoff for higher building height. He stated his concern that
some of the pictures used for illustration in the Comprehensive Plan were not of Edina property.
Bernadette Daly, 4521 Seclum Lane, stated she was a 26 -year resident with five children. Ms. Daly had
followed with interest the public hearings and meetings at the Church of St. Patrick on housing and been
impressed with the Council's engagement in seeking ways to help provide housing and economic
diversity. She asked the Council to explain why, in Chapter 5, Page 19, Live Work Buildings and Mixed -
Use Housing had been dropped. Ms. Daly suggested that other communities had wonderful examples of
mixed-use buildings that were attractive, successful and visionary. She asked why Edina could not have
the same and asked the Council to reconsider and put that type of housing back into the Comprehensive
Plan.
John Morial, 6566 France Avenue South, stated he moved from a smaller community when his children
finished school and now lived at Point of France. Mr. Morial said Point of France had been built in 1976
and was state-of-the-art in design and worthy of Edina at that time. He stated he was now a senior
citizen, had lived in Edina for 16 years and enjoyed having Lake Cornelia within two blocks, wooded
areas, pathways, wonderful neighborhoods, as well as all the services, stores and shops, all within
several blocks. Mr. Morial stated that Mayor Hovland's presentation at the Church of St. Patrick
addressed the vision of the Comprehensive Plan and Southdale Plan. He had been impressed with the
urban/suburban vision of bikeways, pathways and had looked forward to enjoying that combination. Mr.
Page 4
Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2. 2008
Morial asked what had happened to the vision, because it appeared to have been removed from the
original report on which many hours had been spent. He urged the Council to vote "no" on the
Comprehensive Plan so the Council could put vision back into the Plan before its approval.
John Bohan, 800 Coventry Place, stated he was a 12 -year resident and had lived the preceding 40 years
in southeast Minneapolis, always aspiring to live in Edina but unable to afford it. Mr. Bohan indicated he
felt overwhelmed by people saying there was no vision and Edina was not doing the right thing. He
stated he had heard a radio broadcast that there were no problems in Edina with foreclosures so
something must be going right. Mr. Bohan said that initially the Draft Comprehensive Plan was the vision
of a consultant whose focus was urban development. He suggested that over the course of 2007, the
document began to reflect community input. Mr. Bohan stated he attended meetings and found
interesting and sometimes heated discussions where the public got a chance to express their views,
which caused changes in the original draft. For this reason, he said he felt it was not fair to say the Plan
did not reflect the input from the community. Mr. Bohan stated that during 2008 the Council held many
work sessions during which conflicts were resolved and ambiguities eliminated. He thought the
Comprehensive Plan was a good representation and applauded the Council for their work. Mr. Bohan
distributed seven suggestions to the Council.
Douglas Mayo, 6041 Kellogg Avenue S., stated he returned to Minnesota in 1976 and chose to move to
Edina where he became engaged in community activities including Chair of the Housing Task Force. Mr.
Mayo explained he moved to Edina because it was a premier community where you could make a home,
educate and raise your family. However, in the last few years he had come to question Edina's
preeminence, which may no longer exist. Mr. Mayo stated his career was in real estate development,
and he had seen competing communities get superior developments, recreation, transportation facilities
and schools to challenge Edina. He expressed concern that Edina was changing, and possibly not for
the better. Mr. Mayo described areas of Edina that contained deteriorating housing, outdoor storage,
vacant lease space, a decrepit shopping center and blighted neighborhoods. He stated the draft
Comprehensive Plan prepared by the Planning Commission had strategies to deal with these conditions
and a vision for Edina with exciting opportunities for redevelopment of designated areas through
category and mixed-use, with a wide range of life cycle housing for people of all economic standings.
Mr. Mayo asked why all the strategies were deleted. He suggested the Comprehensive Plan before
Council would result in the status quo, discourage innovation, not attract young families, not provide a
range of housing, sense of a future or positive direction. He stated that if you envisioned an Edina that
strives, ' then the Council should revisit the Comprehensive Plan and consider the research, expertise,
wisdom and input of the Planning Commission, Housing Task Force, residents and consultants.
Joellen Deever, 7405 Oaklawn Avenue, stated that she had been listening to comments and believed
that no one was going to agree on a single issue. She thanked all who participated and commented that
it was good to see familiar faces tonight of those who had attended the many Comprehensive Plan
meetings. She commented that she found it interesting that Lewis Park Area did not want a restaurant,
coffee shop, filling station or tall building. She stated that like Father Welch, she also remembered when
Edina was considered a "sand box." Ms. Deever stated it had been an experience, pleasure and there
were many people to thank.
Bob Aderhold, 3529 West 54th Street, stated he was a 12 -year resident and served on the Affordable
Housing Task Force that submitted its report to the Council two years ago. He stated that report had
been accepted by the Council and was to form the philosophical basis of the Housing Chapter in the
Comprehensive Plan. He stated he had been part of that process and worked with wonderful people
representing a broad cross section of Edina. Mr. Aderhold stated he felt the report provided very modest
goals for the City, and he was disappointed to see that very few of those goals made it into the final
Comprehensive Plan. He encourage the Council to revisit the Plan, which many felt was less visionary
than hoped, especially in regard to the Housing chapter.
Member Masica made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, to close the public hearing.

The Council discussed that it was elected to incorporate the community's vision into the Comprehensive
Plan and had spent a lot of time attending meetings to ascertain that vision. The Council had found
Edina's citizens embrace diversityT and, young families and citizens want people who work here to live
here. That was the reason high density new development at Cahill Gardens was found not to be timely
because the area was already a successful core of employment with growing and expanding light
industrial companies. The Council agreed it wanted to protect residential neighborhoods-,- and, create
thriving commercial nodes, but 09 did not want to jeopardize residential neighborhoods, so
concerned about having too much rental housing. The Council had negotiated through vigorous debate -j.
a Comprehensive Plan that struck a balance and equilibrium, which at least four Members could support.
It was felt that Edina would continue to be innovative and attract people to live and work.
The Council discussed its appreciation for those who participated in the process and that it should have

Mayor Hovland stated that he knew Council Members Masica and Bennett attended many meetings and
felt the Plan reflected the vision of many in the community but he felt it reflected the vision of those who

adoption of an ordinance. He advised of the suggested fee increases and that the cost covered the City's
expense to enforce the ordinance, process the application, conduct quarterly checks on restaurants for
underage service and enforcement issues that could occur. Unique to Edina was to offer a license fee
credit of $500 after completion of one calendar year and $1,000 after completion of two calendar years of
successful license checks. Mr. Hughes explained that Ordinance No. 2008-10 also contained the other

MINUTES
OF THE WORK SESSION OF THE
EDINA CITY COUNCIL
HELD AT CITY HALL
OCTOBER 6, 2009
5:30 P.M.
Mayor Hovland called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room of City Hall.
Answering rollcall were: Members Bennett, Brindle, Swenson and Mayor Hovland. Member Housh
was absent. Staff present included: Gordon Hughes, City Manager; Heather Worthington, Assistant
City Manager; John Wallin, Finance Director; Eric Roggeman, Assistant Finance Director; Ceil
Smith, Assistant to the City Manager; Wayne Houle, City Engineer/Public Works Director; Cary
Teague, Planning Director; Steve Kirchman, Building Official; Sherry Engelmann, Sanitarian; and
Debra Mangen, City Clerk.
Mayor Hovland stated the purpose of the meeting was to continue the Council's review of the
proposed 2010 Operating Budget.
City Manager Hughes stated the budget review would continue with those departments not finished
at the last meeting. He added that there had been a staff rearrangement to cover two retirements
without hiring any new staff. Mr. Hughes explained that the Public Works Coordinator and a Public
Works Administrative Assistant were retiring. To cover these positions, the existing Utility
Superintendent had been promoted to Assistant Public Works Superintendent, an administrative
staff member from the Building Department would be working at Public Works three days a week
with staff members from the Finance and Administration Departments covering her absence from
City Hall. This shifting of responsibility will allow coverage without any hiring. It was noted that all
the union contracts were up for negotiation this year.
Engineer Houle stated his intent to postpone as much as feasible any equipment purchases. He
said when replacing vehicles the intention was to go with smaller versions still capable of the
needed functionality.
Mr. Hughes noted the Planning Department's budget had been reduced in professional services
reflecting the completion of the Comprehensive Plan and because the Historical Planning
Consultant would no longer be attending meetings of the Heritage Preservation Board. He pointed
out this also eliminated budget monies for small area plans, but that the 2010 proposed budget for
Planning was more in line with what the department had traditionally budgeted before the
Comprehensive Plan update.
Mr. Hughes noted the Building Department would be juggling support staff since a member was
shifting to Public Works three days a week. He noted that part-time inspectors had been laid off,
but the City would be retaining its full time inspection staff. Mr. Hughes said that activity for single
family residential was still quite strong, but that commercial activity was down 37% from the same
time in 2008.
Mr. Hughes reviewed the Health Department's proposed budget. He noted that Karen Zeleznak of
Bloomington Public Health would attend the October 20, 2009, Regular Council meeting to review
the grant just received.
The Council briefly reviewed the Assessing and Administration Departments' budget. It was noted
that the Energy and Environment Commission budget would be reduced by $25,000. The City's
participation in Metro Cities was discussed as well as the benefit received for participation in the
various organizations such as the League of Minnesota Cities. It was noted that the contingency
k I
Minutes/Edina City Council Work Session/October 6 2009
budget had been increased over previous year and pointed out that there were no monies in
contingencies to fund studies not included in the budget.
The Council briefly discussed areas that might have some cost benefit if services were to be
shared regionally. Concern was expressed over the sacrifice of service accessibility to residents if
shared services were initiated.
The Council and staff discussed the proposed 2010 budget. It w * as agreed to invite the Boards and
Commissions to the October 20, 2009, work session at 5:00 p.m.
There being no further business, Mayor Hovland adjourned the meeting at 6:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Minutes approved by Edina City Council, October 20, 2009.

Mr. Hughes answered questions of the Council, indicating that 37% of Edina's homes would see a
tax decrease, 57% would have an increase of less than 5%, and the remaining homes would have
a higher increase.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:40 p.m.
Public Testimony
No one appeared to testify.
Member Housh made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, to close the public hearing.
Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
The Council recognized that 70% of the budget was payroll and indicated its appreciation for
staff's dedication, noting staff would be participating in the majority of reductions since there would
be no cost of living increase to salary. It was noted the 2010 budget and levy would be
considered for adoption by the Council at its December 15, 2009, meeting.
AWARD OF BID — GREER MEMORIAL GARDEN DEVELOPMENT — EDINA ART CENTER
Park and Recreation Director Keprios advised that just over $21,000 had been raised to develop a
garden in honor and memory of Pat and Bill Greer. The Edina Art Center subcommittee believed
it could raise additional funding but should that fall short, the contractor had indicated it would
develop only what had been funded. Mr. Keprios stated the garden plan was available for review
at the Art Center or City Hall. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member
Bennett, awarding the bid for Greer Memorial garden development, Edina Art Center, to the
recommended low bidder, 4 Quarters Design & Build at $29,976.00 plus Watershed District
and building permit fees.

PUBLIC WORKS SITE PROCESS PRESENTED Mayor Hovland recognized the attendance of
Planning Commission Chair Michael Fischer, Commissioner Michael Schroeder, and Vice Chair
Kevin Staunton. He thanked them for their work on this project as well as their contribution to the
Planning Commission.
Mr. Fischer presented the Planning Commission's community-based planning process that would
identify properties and create a Small Area Plan to address areas within the City that were likely to
change. He acknowledged the valuable contribution of the Planning Commission and Mr.
Schroeder who had over 20 years of experience in community-based design. The program's
goals were to create an inexpensive process, a concentrated timeframe, a true community-based
process, and to use a team of experts from Edina.

Mr. Schroeder presented the focus of -breas of the community identified as
He noted the authority to initiate resides
1potential areas of change' in th-
with the Council and there wer statutory requirements for the composition of the Plan or
process used to achieve the Plan. Mr. Schroeder referenced seven key points to frame a Small
Area Plan and described how this short one-month study period would be approached and
achieved through a twelve -step process. Mr. Schroeder described those who would be involved in
the process including a Technical Advisory Group, Community Advisory Team, a Design Team,
and the public would be directly involved. He displayed a schedule to accomplish the Small Area
Plan, resulting in articulation of principles to guide further planning, development direction,
patterns, and concepts.
Mr. Schroeder answered questions of the Council regarding the appropriate length of time for the
planning process that assured adequate public notification and input yet maintained energy and
found points of consensus. Mr. Schroeder commented on the high importance of fully advertising
the event so all in Edina knew the process was occurring and to encourage their engagement.
Mr. Staunton addressed selection and composition of the Community Advisory Team and Core
Team made up of six Commission and Board members who would select two business/property
owners and six community representatives.
The Council requested that each quadrant of the City select its own Community Advisory Team
membership to avoid a perception of pre -selection and assure success. The Council discussed
the process, noting it would not change the land use designation nor create a nonconforming use.
Rather, it would offer a suggestion for evolution. The Council also discussed the need for varied
venues to advertise the kick-off meeting to assure a high level of resident participation. Mr.
Staunton indicated he would work with staff to schedule the kick-off meeting in February of 2010
so that a small Area Plan could be announced in the upcoming issue of About Town.
Member Housh made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, supporting the general
Small Area Plan process and allow public testimony and written comment for two weeks.
Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh, Swenson, Hovland

Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Comejo said a main objective is to open up and
encourage resident participation during the process. Continuing, Mr. Comejo
stated it is the task of the Planning Commission to oversee the Comprehensive
Plan updating process. Continuing, Mr. Cornejo told the Commission until the
plan has been adopted there will be a number of opportunities for resident input
including small group "listening sessions" and community -wide public meetings.
Mr. Cornejo informed the Commission a community -wide Comp Plan meeting will
be held on March 21, 2007, 6:30-8:30 prn in the Community Center auditorium.
The meeting on the 21st w ill focus on land use. Mr. Comejo also informed the
Commission on April 5 th an inter -generational dialogue will be held at City Hall in
the Council Chambers.
Mr. Cornejo explained "land use" in the City pointing out the City is divided
into character types to include "Garden" which is the traditional neighborhood
developed along street car lines, "Post War" housing developments during the
1950's and 1960's, (this era of housing is particularly vulnerable to tear downs),
"Contemporary", the typical large suburban lots, "Multi -family Enclaves" and
"Industrial/Mixed Use" districts.
Mr. Cornejo introduced Mr. Arijs Pakalns, URS to speak to land use and
infrastructure.
With the aid of graphics Mr. Pakalns spoke to circulation and infrastructure
as they relate to land use.
rd
A discussed ensued with Commissioners acknowledging the Comp Plan is
being updated incorporating Edina's Vision 20/20; however, noting the
Comprehensive Plan doesn't really speak to values. It's a broader statement of
community goals and policies that direct the development and redevelopment of
the City into the future. The Comp Plan addresses zoning and other land use
issues, street and other infrastructure improvements, traffic, parks, trails and
other amenities including community services.
Chair Lonsbury thanked Mr. Comejo and Mr. PakaIns for their update.
Chair Lonsbury directed residents to refer to Edina's website for more information
