the most current proposal for the possible Edina Grandview community facility. Mr. Pechaty presented to the
City Council what he said was a hybrid of the first two options. This option would be located on the north
end of the site and consist of a two-story structure with Art Center space, adult fitness space and community
space on the main level. The second level would have an event space in the upper north east corner, and
would also include art studios and fitness wellness components that would have access to a roof terrace.
There would be a drop-off plaza facing east and structured parking located below grade. The southern portion
of the site would be reserved for possible multi-family residential housing. Council, staff and consultants

with the Grandview Transportation Study will be investigated.
