Building Design The proposal is to construct a basement addition and raise the roof of the bedroom above the garage. Compliance Table * Variance Required. 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-1, Single Dwelling Unit Zoning District and complies with all requirements with the exception of matching the existing nonconforming setback to the Creek and side yard. 2. The additions are appropriate in size and scale for the lot and the improvements will enhance the property and not detract from neighborhood. The basic footprint of the home and deck will not significantly increase. 3. The improvements will provide a reasonable use of the site and improve on the existing conditions. Spacing between the proponent's and neighboring structures will remain the same. City Standard Proposed Front - Match adjacent 33.79 feet Side- 10+ height *5 feet Creek 50 feet *29.75 feet Building Height 2'h stories 2 stories, 35 feet to ridge, Lot coverage 25% 8% * Variance Required. 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-1, Single Dwelling Unit Zoning District and complies with all requirements with the exception of matching the existing nonconforming setback to the Creek and side yard. 2. The additions are appropriate in size and scale for the lot and the improvements will enhance the property and not detract from neighborhood. The basic footprint of the home and deck will not significantly increase. 3. The improvements will provide a reasonable use of the site and improve on the existing conditions. Spacing between the proponent's and neighboring structures will remain the same. 4. The home improvements and height increase would provide enough space to accomplish a reasonable bedroom height without having to completely reconfigure the property, (not a tear-down/re-build). • 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. A practical difficulty is the original placement of the home and setback from the Creek edge. The current setback requirement from the Creek creates a challenge. The existing location and configuration of the bedroom space above the garage make it impossible to modify without the benefit of a variance. 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? Yes. The unique circumstance is the inability to increase the roof height to provide adequate living space above the garage. 0 An addition of basement area to the back of the home with a matching deck setback is the least intrusive solution to add onto the home. The required Minnehaha Creek setback is not self-created. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The proposed improvements will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The basic footprint of the home will remain relatively the same and spacing between structures will remain the same. The addition to the basement will be underneath a deck and recessed into the ground reducing impact from the Creek. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the Planning Commission approve the variances. 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-1, Single 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 slightly alters existing conditions without reducing setback or impacting the surrounding neighbors. b. The imposed setback and existing house location do not provide opportunity for an increase in second floor ceiling height above the garage or expansion of the basement. C. The original placement of the home closer to Creek and the side yard than currently allowed prohibits expansion in the basement and on the second floor without the benefit of a variance 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 October 7, 2014. • Building plans/ elevations date stamped October 7, 2014. • Rescind variance approval of case file #B-13-02 for a teardown rebuild on the property. • Engineering memo dated October 17, 2014 Deadline for a city decision: December 5, 2014. DATE: October 17, 2014 TO: Cary Teague — Planning Director CC: David Fisher — Building Official Ross Bintner P.E. - Environmental Engineer FROM: Charles Gerk EIT — Engineering Technician RE: 5024 Bruce Ave - Special Review of Variance Application The Engineering Department has reviewed the subject property for street and utility concerns, grading, storm water, erosion and sediment control and for general adherence to the relevant ordinance sections. This review was performed at the request of the Planning Department; a more detailed review will be performed at the time of building permit application. Summary of Review Engineering has no concerns with the plans as submitted. An existing and proposed site survey will be sufficient for review and construction purposes. Minnehaha Creek Watershed has reviewed the applicants plan as well and declined the need for a permit. Grading and Drainage Minor grading is proposed, existing and proposed drainage plan does not affect nearby private property. Existing Site Conditions The existing grading allows for drainage away from the home on all sides. On the south side of the home the grading directs the drainage to Bruce Avenue, while on the remaining sides of the home the drainage is directed to Minnehaha Creek. Proposed Site Conditions The proposed grading changes the existing grading minimally. The area around the addition on the north side of the home will be altered to tie in exiting grades to the proposed stoop. Any new run-off created by the stoop or new addition will flow through the applicants yard to Minnehaha Creek. Erosion and Sediment Control No concerns Street and Curb Cut No concerns Water and Sanitary Utilities No concerns ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 7450 Metro Boulevard .

October 7, 2014 Walter Variance Application Property Address: 5024 Bruce Avenue Edina, MN 55424 Submitted by Dave & Kara Walter along with Rehkamp Larson Architects The following verbiage responds to a question on Page 1 of the attached Variance Application: "EXPLANATION OF REQUEST": We are requesting a variance to allow lower level living space to encroach beyond the rear yard setback below an allowable main level deck. We are also requesting a variance to increase the roof height of a non -conforming living space above the garage. The footprint of the house in this location would be unchanged. The following verbiage responds to questions on Page 2 of the attached Variance Application: "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... RELIEVE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES IN COMPLYING WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THAT THE USE IS REASONABLE": The existing house is currently non -conforming on both the rear/creek setback and the side yard setback (east side), making any addition to the existing house non -conforming in both of those directions. Both requests for this variance would relieve the existing floor and ceiling height issues that exist in the current house. The current basement does not have any living space on the same level as the bottom of the stairs - all existing finished rooms require a step up or a step down. Because of existing layout, the setback lines do not permit any conforming lower level addition that does not require additional steps up or down. Similarly, the existing space above the garage does not have ample head height to function as a bedroom, has a step down that makes it less accessible, and has an under -structured floor system and HVAC system that mandate improvements. Both the proposed lower level and upper level alteration minimize the impact to views, grade, and existing structures, while making critical living spaces d functional. ltlllenl � ,` Waiter Variance Application R HKA,IV P "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... CORRECT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES APPLICABLE TO THIS PROPERTY BUT NOT APPLICABLE TO OTHER PROPERTY IN THE VICINITY OR ZONING DISTRICT": This particular lot is unique to the majority of the surrounding creek -side lots in that a great percentage of the lot is not buildable. With the adjustment of the creek setback from 25' to 50' in 1992, and the change of the side yard setback from 5' to 10' (plus height) in 2013, this lot has become increasingly difficult to build on. These setback changes have made less than 12% of the lot buildable, and the shape of the buildable area would restrict a new home to a footprint smaller than most of the surrounding homes. Similarly, the resulting setback lines make almost any addition to the existing home unfeasible without a variance. Based on street views and aerial photos, most of the other properties in the vicinity and the R1 zoning district have either ample room for expansion based on the shape of the lot lines (neighbors to the southwest), or simply already encroach closer to the creek (neighbors to the northeast). The proposed alterations to the house help mitigate extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property caused by a unique lot shape and a topography that triggered a multilevel existing house (12 distinct finished floor heights on generally 3 different levels). "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... BE IN HARMONY WITH THE GENERAL PURPOSES AND INTENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE": Our proposed design does not diminish the zoning ordinance's intent to provide views, light and safety for all properties, as well as to protect Minnehaha Creek. The proposed lower level build out does not encroach any closer to the creek than the conforming deck above does. We believe the additional stone work and gentle curve actually enhances the aesthetics of the rear fagade. The proposed exterior stone wall is also set back from the creek an additional 4.5 feet from the existing stone landscape wall that will be removed (See pg. 13, #1). Because this addition is all below the main level floor, it will not affect light or views for any of the adjacent lots. It is also worth noting that two properties on the opposite side of the creek are both closer to the creek line than our proposal. The proposed alteration above the garage will also still permit views from the immediate neighbor to the east, and remains significantly smaller in scale and massing than the adjacent fagade of that property (see pg. 14, #4). Also, because the proposed design does not alter the existing grade significantly, the erosion and drainage will not be dramatically affected. In fact, as part of this project, we will be improving the existing erosion issues, by adding ground cover to the existingsteep topography, and removing dying trees that are inhibiting soil stability. `� V Walter Variance Application REHKAMP LARSW ARCHITECTS "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... NOT ALTER THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OFA NEIGHBORHOOD": The proposed variance does not affect the essential character of neighborhood, as the addition is modest in scale, separated from the fenestration and circulation of nearby properties, and aesthetically in -tune with the rest of the house. The proposed design maintains the vast majority of the existing house while making significant aesthetic improvements like new windows, siding, insulation, and additional stonework. It will also not stand out as differing in scale from neighboring properties. The immediate neighbor to the east has an adjacent facade significantly taller and more non -conforming than the proposed change to the space above the garage (see pg. 14, #4). The overall scale of the garage and living above is still diminutive compared to the properties in the vicinity. Additionally, the alteration above the garage will not affect the views of the property to the east, as the houses are staggered in plan and the grade level at the neighboring property is significantly higher (see pg. 14 and Survey). The addition under the deck will be out of view from the adjacent properties and will enhance the view from the creek with additional stone work that is farther from the creek than the existing stone landscape wall. The proposed variance is, in fact, a benefit to the essential character of the neighborhood, as it preserves and improves the existing house.

We are also requesting a variance to increase the roof height of a non -conforming living space above the garage. The footprint of the house in this location would be unchanged. The following verbiage responds to questions on Page 2 of the attached Variance Application: "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... RELIEVE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES IN COMPLYING WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THAT THE USE IS REASONABLE": The existing house is currently non -conforming on both the rear/creek setback and the side yard setback (east side), making any addition to the existing house non -conforming in both of those directions. Both requests for this variance would relieve the existing floor and ceiling height issues that exist in the current house. The current basement does not have any living space on the same level as the bottom of the stairs - all existing finished rooms require a step up or a step down. Because of existing layout, the setback lines do not permit any conforming lower level addition that does not require additional steps up or down. Similarly, the existing space above the garage does not have ample head height to function as a bedroom, has a step down that makes it less accessible, and has an under -structured floor system and HVAC system that mandate improvements. Both the proposed lower level and upper level alterations minimize the impact to views, grade, and existing structures, while making critical living spaces safe and functional. Walter Variance Application *.. M y. LARSON ARCHITECTS "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... CORRECT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES APPLICABLE TO THIS PROPERTY BUT NOT APPLICABLE TO OTHER PROPERTY IN THE VICINITY OR ZONING DISTRICT": This particular lot is unique to the majority of the surrounding creek -side lots in that a great percentage of the lot is not buildable. With the adjustment of the creek setback from 25' to 50' in 1992, and the change of the side yard setback from 5' to 10' (plus height) in 2013, this lot has become increasingly difficult to build on. These setback changes have made less than 12% of the lot buildable, and the shape of the buildable area would restrict a new home to a footprint smaller than most of the surrounding homes. Similarly, the resulting setback lines make almost any addition to the existing home unfeasible without a variance. Based on street views and aerial photos, most of the other properties in the vicinity and the R1 zoning district have either ample room for expansion based on the shape of the lot lines (neighbors to the southwest), or simply already encroach closer to the creek (neighbors to the northeast). The proposed alterations to the house help mitigate extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property caused by a unique lot shape and a topography that triggered a multilevel existing house (12 distinct finished floor heights on generally 3 different levels). "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... BE IN HARMONY WITH THE GENERAL PURPOSES AND INTENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE": Our proposed design does not diminish the zoning ordinance's intent to provide views, light and safety for all properties, as well as to protect Minnehaha Creek. The proposed lower level build out does not encroach any closer to the creek than the conforming deck above does. We believe the additional stone work and gentle curve actually enhances the aesthetics of the rear fagade. The proposed exterior stone wall is also set back from the creek an additional 4.5 feet from the existing stone landscape wall that will be removed (See pg. 13, #1). Because this addition is all below the main level floor, it will not affect light or views for any of the adjacent lots. It is also worth noting that two properties on the opposite side of the creek are both closer to the creek line than our proposal. The proposed alteration above the garage will also still permit views from the immediate neighbor to the east, and remains significantly smaller in scale and massing than the adjacent fagade of that property (see pg. 14, #4). Also, because the proposed design does not alter the existing grade significantly, the erosion and drainage will not be dramatically affected. In fact, as part of this project, we will be improving the existing erosion issues, by adding ground cover to the existing steep topography, and removing dying trees that are inhibiting soil stability. err.s �* a T "THE PROPOSED VARIANCE WILL... NOTALTER THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OFA NEIGHBORHOOD": The proposed variance does not affect the essential character of neighborhood, as the addition is modest in scale, separated from the fenestration and circulation of nearby properties, and aesthetically in -tune with the rest of the house. The proposed design maintains the vast majority of the existing house while making significant aesthetic improvements like new windows, siding, insulation, and additional stonework. it will also not stand out as differing in scale from neighboring properties. The immediate neighbor to the east has an adjacent fagade significantly taller and more non -conforming than the proposed change to the space above the garage (see pg. 14, #4). The overall scale of the garage and living above is still diminutive compared to the properties in the vicinity. Additionally, the alteration above the garage will not affect the views of the property to the east, as the houses are staggered in plan and the grade level at the neighboring property is significantly higher (see pg. 14 and Survey). The addition under the deck will be out of view from the adjacent properties and will enhance the view from the creek with additional stone work that is farther from the creek than the existing stone landscape wall. The proposed variance is, in fact, a benefit to the essential character of the neighborhood, as it preserves and improves the existing house. Walter Variance Application s 3 s k MI1 i. ARCHITECTS Primary Issues • Is the proposed development reasonable for this site? Given the existence of other homes in the neighborhood that have garages closer to the side street, the 10 foot setback of the proposed garage is reasonable. However, there have been teardowns and remodels in the area that have been able to comply with the ordinance. Furthermore, there are several possible alternatives (subject to confirmation per a survey) to the proposal that include the following: 1) A two -car, detached garage could be constructed in the rear yard of the home. 2) An attached, two -car, side loaded garage could be attached in the rear yard of the home with a conforming 20 foot setback to the side street. • Is the proposed variance justified? 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 not meet the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: Minnesota Statues and Section 36-98 of the Edina Zoning Ordinance 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. The only factor preventing compliance with the side street setback for the construction of a two -car garage is the desire to have more rear yard space behind the house. Staff has not identified a practical difficulty preventing compliance. 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned properly, and that are not self- created? No. There are no confounding factors preventing compliance with the ordinance. A complete tear -down re -build of the property allows opportunity for compliance with current codes. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? The rebuilt homes in the neighborhood currently meet the setbacks required, and there have been additions and teardowns in the area that also comply. However, there are existing nonconforming two -car garages near side streets, (the existing garage to be torn down is nonconforming), therefore granting this will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the Planning Commission deny the variance. Denial is based on the following findings: The property with a new home can comply with the setbacks and is therefore a reasonable use, and the request to deviate from the side street is not necessary to make reasonable use of the property. 2. The home is appropriate in size and scale with the proposed garage, however the garage can comply with the required setback. 3. There is not a practical difficulty in meeting the ordinance requirements due to the ability to locate a garage in a conforming location. 4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that necessitate a variance to make reasonable use of the property. The property will be a vacant 59.73 foot wide lot in a neighborhood of other 59 - 60 foot wide lots with many that have been rebuilt on within the ordinance requirements. A new home with a garage can be designed to conform. Deadline for a City Decision: December 6, 2014 2 h DATE: October I, 2014 TO: Cary Teague — Planning Director CC: David Fisher — Building Official Ross Bintner P.E. - Environmental Engineer FROM: Charles Gerk EIT — Engineering Technician RE: 5300 Oaklawn Ave- Special Review of Variance Application The Engineering Department has reviewed the subject property for street and utility concerns, grading, storm water, erosion and sediment control and for general adherence to the relevant ordinance sections. This review was performed at the request of the Planning Department and assumes the provided documents were submitted for building permit review. A more detailed review will be performed at the time of building permit application. Summary of Review Engineering has no concerns with the plans as submitted. The proposed grading as shown by the "Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Plan" dated 9/19/2014 was prepared and signed by Brian Mundstock, a Licensed Engineer in the State of Minnesota. The proposed conditions create a better drainage situation for the three neighboring properties. All of the neighboring properties will see less drainage than existing conditions currently produce due to new site improvements. Our stormwater infrastructure has no limitations in the area and a sump drain line was installed in 2011 during a street reconstruction project The erosion control plan meets our expectations. The existing driveway and curb cut will be relocated approximately 25 feet west of its current location, further away from the nearby intersection, and be reduced from a 22' wide driveway to a 14' driveway. There are no concerns with a new waterline connection or a new sanitary line connection. Grading and Drainage Existing Site Conditions The existing grading as shown by the "Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Plan" dated 9/19/2014 allows for drainage away from the existing structure and to the street on most sides. The southwest side of the existing home and lot currently drain to the property to the south. Proposed Site Conditions The proposed grading as shown by the "Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Plan" dated 9/19/2014 allows for drainage away from the proposed structure to the streets. The proposed plans show the creation of a swale in both the southwest and southeast side of the lot The Swale on the southwest side will direct water away from the proposed home and neighboring properties to 53rd Street West. The Swale on the southeast side will direct water away from the proposed home and neighboring properties to Oaklawn Ave. IENGHU9MH4G DEPARTNIENT 7450 Mtfto Boukvmd s Fdia, Afinnesota 5543'9 wwxEdhmMN4pv • 952-626-0371 • Fax 952 Erosion and Sediment Control The proposed erosion and sediment contra notes as shown on the "Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Plan" dated 9/19/20 J 4 meet current city standards. Street and Carry Cut The existing driveway and curb cut will be relocated approximately 25 feet west of its current location, further away from the nearby intersection, and be reduced from a 2T wide driveway to a I T driveway. The relocation of the curb cut and size of the driveway are compliant with the relevant sections of ordinance and policy.

V L-vY 4-40 CX-" street. The Schmidts have designed a facade and garage facing 53rd Street that will blend with the existing character of the street. Careful planning went into designing a traditional colonial style exterior including: traditional hardie plank lap siding, divided light windows, wood panel shutters, stone wainscoting, window planter boxes, coach style garage doors, and doghouse dormers. While it is true that Schmidt's could design a confirming structure for the garage. The following conforming structures would create practical difficulties for the Schmidt's: 1) Push side facing garage back 10' to meet 20' setback: This would create practical difficulties since it would reduce the back yard to 17' wide outside of the back of their home. This would also block a significant amount of natural light into the home. The Schmidt's would like a useable and safe back yard for their children. The 20' setback requirement does not allow them a reasonable use of their back yard as do other properties in the neighborhood. 2) Place attached garage at 15' setback facing west as allowed by code: This would require removal of a 26" Oak tree to accommodate for driveway access into the west -facing garage. A detached garage would create the same or more tree loss in the northwest corner of this property. 3) Design attached garage facing Oaklawn: This would create a modernistic, suburban design (more garage than house facing Oaklawn) that is out of character with the homes around the intersection of Oaklawn and 53rd. None of the homes at this intersection have front facing garages and to do this would be out of character with this quaint, quiet intersection. Yes. the proposed design is non -conforming but we feel it strikes a better balance for the homeowners, neighbors, trees, and our stormwater system (less driveway). From day one the Schmidt's have been adamant that they want a design that fits the neighborhood, provided attractive facades towards Oaklawn and 53rd, and creates a quaint corner presence. We feel this design accomplishes those goals and is the best fit for this location. 5300 Oaklawn new home proposed building materials: • Traditional hardie plank lap siding • Asphalt roof • Detailed soffit and eves • Traditional precast columns • Divided light windows • Stone wainscoting • Coach panel garage doors • Window planter boxes APPLICANT'S STATEMENT This application should be processed in my name, and 1 am the party Thom the City should contact abort this application.

Community Development Director INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Project Description Mr. David Hendel on behalf of the property owners Paul and Jean Mooty, is requesting to shift the existing lot line that divides the property at 5320 Kelsey Terrace and Outlot B of the Parkwood Knolls 26th Addition. (See property location on pages Al A3.) Both properties are owned by the Mootys. The purpose of the request is to shift the side lot line to the north to make room for an addition to the existing home. (See the proposed lot line shift on pages A4 A5.) The Outlot appears to be a leftover remnant of Parkwood Knolls 26th addition, that ended up being platted as an Outlot. The Outlot originally appears as part of Lot 26 in the Preliminary Plat. (See plat on pages A6 -A7.) Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding properties and land uses include single-family homes (See pages Al—A3.) Existing Site Features Single-family home and vacant Outlot. Planning Guide Plan designation Zoning: Primary Issue Low-density residential R-1, Single-family residential Is the proposed lot division reasonable? Yes. The resulting lot line shift does not create an additional lot. The division makes the existing lot at 5320 Kelsey Terrace slightly larger from 20,528 square feet to 22,201 square feet. The adjacent Outlot goes from 8,016 square feet to 6,343 square feet. There is a 26 -inch storm sewer that runs through the Outlot. This storm sewer line would remain. (See pages A4 -A5.) There is a 5 -foot drainage and utility easement running along the side lot line that would need to be vacated prior to any building addition being built. It is believed that there are no utility lines located within the easement. If there are, they would need to be relocated on to the Outlot. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the City Council approve the Lot Division of 5320 Kelsey Terrace and Outlot B of Parkwood Knolls 26th Addition. Approval is subject to the following findings: The proposed lot line adjustment does not create a new lot. 2. The Outlot and 5320 Kelsey Terrace are both held under the same ownership. The properties appear to be one lot. 3. The existing utilities on the Outlot would not be impacted.

Action Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Approve the Sidewalk Facilities Plan for amendment into the Pedestrian and Bike Facilities section of the Comprehensive Plan. Information / Background: As part of the overall Living Streets Plan, staff has been preparing a new Sidewalk Facilities Plan based in part on the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the approved Living Streets policy and input from City staff, officials and residents. At their July I Work Session, City Council expressed a desire to approve an updated Sidewalk Facilities Plan prior to the approval of the overall Living Streets Plan (anticipated by early of 2015). Council also directed staff to bring the Sidewalk Facilities Plan forward for amendment into the Comprehensive Plan, so that an approved sidewalk network can be considered during the planning and design of current and future roadway reconstruction projects. The following is the proposed timeline for approvals and amendment to the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan: • Informational packet received by Council October 7 • Sidewalk Facilities Plan posted for public comment (Speak Up Edina) October 7 • Planning Commission Public Hearing October 22 • City Council Public Hearing and approval of Comprehensive Plan amendment November 3 The Sidewalk Facilities Plan indicates the Edina streets that currently have sidewalks along with those streets where sidewalks are planned in the next 20-30 years. However, it should be noted that the Plan is not meant to indicate on which side of the street future sidewalks are to be installed; that decision will be based on input from more thorough engineering studies and stakeholders prior to design and installation. The Sidewalk Facilities Plan attached here reflects thoughtful and considerable construction of criteria, is data -driven (see attached matrix), and most importantly is consistent with the Living Streets Policy vision and value of supporting the transportation needs of all Edina's residents. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Pedestrian Facilities, Page 2 Attached is the Sidewalk Facilities Map, which will replace Figure 7.10 in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, and below is content that is recommended to replace the "Pedestrian Facilities" section of that Plan (Chapter 7, pages 7-33 to 7-36: "Pedestrian and Bike Facilities"). Pedestrian Facilities The goal of this section is to build upon the current City practices to create a framework for planning and implementation of future sidewalks. Sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities are an important component of the City's transportation infrastructure. Sidewalks and paths provide safe movement for individuals of all ages and abilities, decrease the dependency on motor vehicles, and encourage active lifestyles. An effective municipal sidewalk system provides network continuity such that there is broad geographic coverage for a range of users and uses, without notable gaps. Sidewalks should provide a comfortable space for pedestrians between the roadway and adjacent land uses. Sidewalks are the most important component of pedestrian mobility. They provide opportunities for active living and access to destinations and critical connections between multiple modes of travel, as users of motor vehicles, transit and bicycles all must walk at some time during their trip. Refer to the Sidewalk Facilities Map (Figure 7.10) for locations of existing and proposed future sidewalks. Sidewalks are required: • Where a street abuts or is in the vicinity of a public school, public building, community playfield, or neighborhood park. Termini to be determined by context. • On both sides of minor arterial streets. • On one or both sides of collector streets. • As required by zoning code or condition of plan approval. • When one or more of the context criteria are met (see below). The following context criteria may be used when determining whether an otherwise optional sidewalk should be required. The criteria may be applied in any combination, using engineering judgment. An optional sidewalk may be required when: • A sidewalk is recommended by the Edina Active (Safe) Routes to School Comprehensive Plan. • The street is identified as a park or commercial destination. • Average daily traffic is greater than 500 vehicles. • 85th percentile speed is greater than 30 mph. • There is a history of crashes involving pedestrians walking along the roadway. • Transit stop(s) are present. • A sidewalk would create a logical connection between destinations. • Site lines, roadway geometry, or insufficient lighting makes it difficult for motorists to see pedestrians walking along the roadway. 0 The street width is less than 27 feet. REPORT/ RECOMMENDATION Page 3 Citizen- and/or business -petitioned sidewalk locations will also receive important consideration as they are brought forward for City review. Sidewalks within the City are divided into the following three categories. It is possible that a sidewalk may fit into more than one category: State -Aid sidewalks are located adjacent to Municipal State -Aid Streets (MSAS). Active Routes to School sidewalks are identified by the Edina Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan (approved on Feb 3, 2014) as recommended to improve connectivity and safe routes to schools. City sidewalks are sidewalks that meet the requirements and/or context criteria above. Sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5 feet wide to provide adequate space for two pedestrians to comfortably pass side-by-side. Wider sidewalks (8 to 12 feet) are recommended where pedestrians are likely to travel in groups, such as near schools and in shopping districts, or where adjacent to transit stops. A standard minimum 5 -foot boulevard (the space between the sidewalk and the curb or edge of pavement) shall be provided whenever possible to increase pedestrian safety and comfort, as well as providing space for snow storage. Minimum planted boulevard widths may be three feet (see following paragraph). In shopping districts characterized by zero -lot lines, street furniture and/or on -street parking, sidewalks may be wider with no boulevard. Additionally, a shallower boulevard or curbside sidewalk may be constructed when the cost of constructing a five-foot boulevard would be excessively disproportionate due to existing right-of-way or topographical constraints. Curbside sidewalks shall have a minimum width of 6 feet unobstructed for travel (5 feet clear of sign posts, traffic signals, utility poles, etc., plus one foot for snow storage/clearing operations). Financing of the future sidewalks are separated into two categories: 1. State -Aid Costs cover any proposed sidewalk located adjacent to a State -Aid designated roadway and are paid 80 percent by State -Aid funds and 20 percent Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund. 2. Active Routes to School and City Costs cover any proposed sidewalk located adjacent to a non -State -Aid designated roadway and are paid 100 percent by the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund. The City should search out additional funding sources, such as grants or partnering with other agencies, for larger projects that have regional significance. One potential important source is the Safe Routes to School Program in which Mn/DOT allocates federal funds to projects of merit selected on a competitive basis. Sidewalks located on State -Aid roads or within the Public School Zones will be maintained by the City of Edina. Typical City maintenance includes snow removal and repair of broken or shifted sidewalks. Sidewalks located in other areas must be maintained by the property owners.
