Recommends ❑ To HRA ® To Council Subject: Vacation of Existing Public Action ❑Motion Right -of -Way, West 41St ® Resolution Street between Monterey Avenue and Lynn Avenue ❑ Ordinance ❑ Discussion Recommendation: If the Council so desires, vacate the existing right-of-way of West 41St Street between Monterey Avenue and Lynn Avenue and retain all utility rights / easements. Info/Background: This request was heard on September 4, 2007 by the City Council; the City Council did close the public hearing. The City Council requested the following items: ■ Analyze size home that could be constructed on the existing lot versus the new lot, see attached memo from Cary Teague — City Planner ■ Compare front foot of lot with other lots in the area, see attached memo from Cary Teague — City Planner. ■ Provide a legal description for a partial vacation of the right-of-way adjacent to 4100 Lynn Avenue, see attached. ■ Provide the plats for both subdivisions — A & B Addition and Minikanda Vista Third Addition, see attached. ■ Analyze drainage issues. The original request was to vacate the entire right-of-way of West 41St Street from Monterey Avenue to Lynn Avenue, see sketch below. Staff mailed letters to the adjacent property owners asking them if they agree with the vacation. We received confirmation of support from the property owner of 4021 Monterey Avenue and non-support from the property owner of 4022 Lynn Avenue. We have not received any correspondence from the property owner of 4101 Monterey Avenue. Staff has also received a number of letters opposing this vacation, see attached. Centerpoint Energy does not object to this vacation. Comcast requests that the vacation be subject to retaining all utility rights or easements. The City of Edina Utilities does have utilities in this area and request that the vacation be subject to retaining all utility rights or easements. Xcel Energy and Qwest have not yet responded to this request. Staff also reviewed surface water drainage within this area. Our findings indicate that there could potentially be some street and backyard flooding during large rainfall events (100 year and above). If Council decides to deny this vacation request, then staff and legal counsel request that the Council continues this item for two weeks, at which time legal counsel can present "findings of denial". G:\Engineering\General\40 - 49 Streets\W 41st Street Vacation\RR - West 41st Street ROW Vacation revised.doc Memo To: Wayne Houle, City Engineer & Public Works Director From: Cary Teague, Planning Director Date: September 27, 2007 Re: Building Potential at 4100 Lynn Avenue South and Area Lot Widths Attached is an analysis of the building potential before and after the proposed vacation and a study of lot widths in the area. Building Potential (Without the Right -of -Way Vacation). The maximum footprint for a building on this site as it exists today is 2,850 square feet. That is 25% of the total lot area. The building footprint, as shown on page Al, is a 55 x 51 foot area, which would meet all required setbacks. Building Potential (With the Right-of-WaV Vacation). The maximum footprint for a building on this site if the right-of-way is vacated would be 3,520 square feet. Again, that is 25% of the total lot area. The building footprint, as shown on page A2, is a 70 x 50 foot area, which would meet all required setbacks. Lot Widths. As demonstrated on pages A3—A4, the median lot width along Lynn Avenue is 49 feet, and the average is 57 feet. Therefore, if the right-of-way is vacated the resulting 100.25 foot wide lot would be the largest in the neighborhood. i�� 7e r V Q i` GOA ure, 00001-L 154 —69 661 F. C.

September 12, 2007 Edina City Council C/o Edina City Hall 4801 West 5&' Edina MN 55416 Dear Edina City Council, Through a concerned neighbor, we learned that the owner of 4100 Lynn Avenue has petitioned the City to vacate an easement so that he can make his property larger. He then plans to construct a huge spec house on the property. We are asking that the City Council not allow the enlargement of the property at 4100 Lynn. In its current state, the property at 4100 Lynn could have a house that is 65 feet wide. Most houses in the neighborhood are no more that 40 feet wide. Therefore, the owner can already build a comparatively large home on the property. An even larger home would not suit the character of the neighborhood and would look out of place amidst the other modest homes on the street. We understand that the properties in the 4100 block of Lynn Avenue have had drainage issues (it is a low area with a marsh on one side of the street). A very large home was recently built to replace an older, smaller home at 4116 Lynn; the presence of this larger home has worsened the drainage issues. The presence of another oversized -for -the -neighborhood house may cause additional drainage concerns for the adjacent homeowners. We certainly support homeowners maintaining and improving their properties and making appropriate additions when space is needed. We realize that things change and progress will happen whether we like it or not. However, we also hope that the City recognizes the value of affordable homes and neighborhoods. We ask that the Council leave the easement as it is, so that the builder will reassess the scale of the home he is proposing, and either renovate the existing home or build one more in keeping with the neighborhood. Sincerely, sJuli?ean Paul Banker, 40 Lynn Avenue A50` SEAL SEP . 3 2001 RECEIVED September 22, 2007 Edina City Council 4801 West 50th Edina, MN 55424 Re: Petition for property at 4100 Lynn Ave Dear Mayor and Edina City Councilors, We have been residents at 4006 Lynn Ave since 1996. We are concerned about the petition to develop the property at 4100 Lynn Ave. Please deny the petition to vacate the easement at the 4100 Lynn Ave property. We believe another over -size house on this street will be detrimental to existing homeowners for several reasons. • Neighborhood property taxes will increase. Current homeowners should not have to suffer because of this developer's personal gain. • We believe the character of our neighborhood will be diminished. • The last huge house that was built (several lots south) has presented drainage problems for surrounding longtime residents. That's not fair. Again, please be advised that we are against the granting of this developer's petition. Thank you, Barbara Nash Catherine Gray 4004 Lynn Ave Edina MN 55416 September 23, 2007 Edina City Council c/o Edina City Hall 4801 West 50th Edina MN 55424 Dear Council Members; I am writing in regards to the property 4100 Lynn Ave. My husband and I bought our home on April 1, 1961. We fell in love with the Village of Morningside and its charm znd the neighbors who were all middle class people and with children the same age as ours. I am a widow now and 82 years of age. I am the oldest resident on our block as I am in my 47th year in Morningside. 1 object to all these homes in the areas being torn down and building huge homes. They belong in the country club area not in Morningside. These new huge homes look out of place next to our homes. It is my wish that you don't approve of this home being built on 4100 Lynn Ave. I have volunteer for Hennepin County for 21 years in the property tax department and I know when homes are sold and new homes built our property taxes go up. Our value also goes up but with the taxes increasing at least $300.00 a year that puts a burden on us older residents. Our taxes were 345.00 in 1961 and are now close to 3700.00. No :additions but our old garage was torn down and anew garage was built ten years ago. I hank you for your time Sincerely, Claire Hinrichs 1?52-926-5658 0`�/Z3/d eJ4;;,� 1�� e�� Uf //I V r/�llrlf'� 4ir� Ave- rsffi , --z "' 2x01 ' SaE���vEo f 07 r G� ci9,f' 2 F— 1114� UUSt� WAS i o P cis a-) Sg.N t o iZS ' e- S L ✓lq l iU �Ao, c!IJ V , o t'j 1_N CO r--Ae- Sp-cv -c . �j tit icriA Nv7 TAC 1C �" c� C v v F' <2> tw-C4 u gi b P INA N� o e -n1 c,v C� ( -c is R (zv M o c D Ara4aN� ESPe ct C-),. t �,� 4l o O Nl'j C,t2 Asv-o T "& C oAv Sv t -.F- Mo R.p- o C- A-'Sej.J t o (Z_- 0 v2 C' S Amo � c-�., L� � t3 � c ��i cis i 1 od -V- t4 s 9—:Cc>wc) z K) -V- E. 12 oo r �+ _ F lc�0v rof F LA A A -T 't l 6vG� _ � A.-� - �L k- A j t LSV a-0 (o- <4AmK� Ov ALL FOi2._ y00� � `tom-. � �"c �-r i ®N A►�o � �v � �-� , i -4-02-Z A V F , Edina City Council 4801 W. 50" St. Edina, MN 55424 September 13, 2007 Dear Council Members, We are writing this letter in regard to the Vacation of Existing Public Right -of -Way Easement - West 41' between Lynn Avenue and Monterey Avenue. Our concern involves the drainage issues that a new and larger development would create. We live on Lynn Avenue, five houses south of the property under discussion. Our home is next to a property where an existing home was sold last year to an owner who removed that home and built a larger home on the lot. We enjoy our new neighbors and feel they have a beautiful home. Because this house was built for the owner, he was meticulous in overseeing the construction process. However, the larger home created more water drain -off into our yard than our drainage system could adequately handle. We believe the main reason for this problem was the roof design of the new house. The older houses on Lynn Avenue have roofs that bisect the house in a north and south parallel. This design allowed half of the roof's run-off water to flow westward to the backyard or eastward toward the house's front yard. The grading of the front yard then allowed the water to flow into street gutters on Lynn Avenue. The new house has a considerably larger roof than the older houses and this roof has a much more east -west bisection. This results in the run-off water to flow off the roof onto the north and south sides of the house. The grading of the property then causes the water to flow into the backyard. This past spring, the amount of water that pooled in our yard increased about 300%, spreading across a considerable portion of the backyard and encroaching toward our home. This pooling of water concerned both us and our new neighbors. This summer our neighbors installed a drainage system on the south side of their house that involved underground piping and drains in the yard that we hope will assist in an improved drainage system. We feel fortunate that they willingly initiated and addressed this issue. It seems to us that the peat soil and poor drainage system found in the back yards of our properties can handle only so much run-off water from our roofs. We believe that new homes need to be designed so that at least half if not more of the roof's run-off water flows into Lynn Avenue's storm sewer system and not into the property's back or side yards. We have no issue with a new home replacing the current one at 4100 Lynn, but do want vigilant attention to the design and the likely potential of increased water run-off and its effect on surrounding properties. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Sincerely, �� d ecd�� Bromley and Barbara Johnson 4120 Lynn Ave. S. Edina, MN 55416 952-922-3051 Mayor James Hovland Edina City Council Edina City Hall 4801 West 50th Edina MN 55424 September 16, 2007 Oppose Vacating Easement for 41St Street at Bottom of Lynn Avenue Dear Mayor Hovland, As an Edina resident who lives at 4012 Lynn Avenue, I want to vehemently oppose the recent request to vacate the easement for 41 St street at the bottom of the hill on Lynn Avenue in order to construct a million dollar house. The easement is requested by a builder who intends to extend the property line to accommodate an enormous house. My reasons for my concern are as follows: • I am nearing retirement age and am already seeing an annual property tax increase on my house. I greatly fear the construction of a $1,280,000 house, the price listed on the attached information sheet for that property. The trend to build such houses ultimately pushes up taxes and removes citizens like myself from our existing homes. • My neighbors at the bottom of the hill where this house will be built have had difficulties with a similar house constructed at 4116 Lynn Avenue. This structure is so large that it has caused serious drainage problems on various sides of the house, making swamps of the backyards of those in proximity. • Our Morningside neighborhood welcomes change, but not when it aversely affects neighbors in the vicinity of a new structure, and not when it ultimately removes the features for which Morningside is known. These include the charm and unique blend of houses that speak to the history of past areas, welcoming progress unless it harms neighbors and changes the demographics of the area. I urge you to oppose this petition and thank you in advance for listening to my reasons for speaking against it.

All Rights Reserved. 9-12-07 Dear Mayor & Edina City Council Members, I am writing to you about the petition before you to vacate the easement on north Lynn Avenue at 415t, the bottom of the hill on the block that I live. I did not receive notice of the hearing by mail and have talked to more than five neighbors on my block who did not receive notice either. Perhaps you could look into the legitimacy of the notice of hearings as the only neighbor I know that did receive notice was my neighbor and councilmember, Joni Bennett. I am a resident of 4010 Lynn Avenue and have resided here since 1989. 1 appeared at the City Council Meeting on September 4th and stayed until after 11 p.m. to voice the following concerns: 1. The integrity of our neighborhood is being diminished. Our neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Edina with a flavor and character all it's own that carries the history of Morningside forth. Its' integrity is being destroyed every time a home is moved or completely demolished to build something bigger and better. Not to mention it could end up rewarding those who let their property go without repa%ir, because an eventual sale of the home for removal and sale of the prQey separately fo�,'new build can be quite profitable. 2' "I'h imature adults in our neighborhood on fixed incomes will be taxed out w`of iheir'homes. I have raised this issue with councilmember Bennett before, that although,this city -,portends to be taking initiatives care and plan to provide viable ilternatves for.it's elderly citizens .to;,stay, within,the City, increasing, taxes will not allow for this. There is no question that those on fixed incomes,, (which may include us one day), cannot afford. to stay in their homes as the increase in property taxes continues to consume more of their resources. 3. Increased property taxes burden all of us in this economy. Let's face it, our taxes rise as with the average market value of homes in our immediate vicinity (our -block). While it seems positive that the resale value of our homes go up, what, good will it do if we can't afford to stay in our homes. due to the increase in property taxes? I am not at all adverse to people building on to existing homes, as most often the additions are in keeping with the character of the home and the setback regulations maintain the home size to property ratio. It is rather unfortunate that Edina does not already have laws in effect yet to protect the integrity of our neighborhoods as this "McMansion phenomenon" is not new and has been creeping up in us for years now. The purpose of the petition by the builder of the property at 4100 Lynn Ave. is obviously to expand the property line so that another extremely large home (McMansion) that will exceed 4500 sq. feet can be built there. Please see the attached listing that is provided in the sleeve of the for sale sign currently located on this property. He already has an 85 foot wide lot to build on (10' setbacks on each side allow for a 65 foot wide home). Although the gentleman who owned the property claims he will live there for a couple of years with his family, the Iisting'I have attached for your reference leads me to believe to the contrary. The owner, who also admits to being the builder did not state his address in Shakopee or state the name of his company, there was no further inquiry verify his intent to live there with his family. The neighbors on Lynn to the south of 4100 are against it because of all kinds of environmental reasons, not the least of which is that the recent larger scale new home that was recently built at the bottom of the hill (4116 Lynn Ave) has caused some drainage problems for the surrounding area which are trying to be worked out. Apparently, the neighbor to the north and the neighbor to the West of the 4100 property (behind on Monterey) also came to the hearing to object but were unable to testify because the hearing ran too late and they could not stay(two hotly contested cases before that pushed our matter until after 11 p.m.) I hope every effort will be made to extend another opportunity for them to voice their concerns before you. subject them to increased tax burdens of up to $400 more a year, when one questions any enjoyment the property holder on Monterey will have save for an asphalt drive (that will continue to be the City's right of way to the utility boxes) or even Mr. Cronstrom, the property holder on Lynn to the north, who has had to put up with the lack of maintenance of the easement for years now. Granted, it was quite late that all of this was addressed, but no one addressed my question as to who maintains or fails to maintain this easement property currently. Councilmember Housh inaccurately referred to Lynn Avenue as already having several new builds on the block. Councilmember Bennett suggested he was thinking of the add-ons to homes currently located in the south Lynn block. It led me to wonder just how many of our council members are familiar with the Morningside neighborhood other than Ms. Bennett. My understanding is that there will be no further opportunity to comment by the public, except by correspondence, and that you as a council, have continued the matter for four weeks until they could get a plat from the County that shows the property identification and lot ratios. I have encouraged my neighbors to express their opinions on this matter as it seems they did not get notice of the hearing. I really encourage you, as a council, to reconsider vacating the whole or even partial easement when to do so will obviously give the go ahead to the builder/developer to build a larger home that is not to scale in this lovely, now rapidly changing, little pocket of quaint Morningside. I would also urge you to put in place laws in the future which will protect the character and integrity of our older neighborhoods, and create viable alternatives for the aging population to continue to enrich our neighborhoods.

All Rights Reserved. September 25, 2007 Dear City of Edina Mayor and Council Members, I would like for you to vote against the proposed vacation of easement for the property related to 4100 Lynn Ave. I believe the proposed plan for that property, the building of a 1.3 million dollar multilevel dwelling is not supported by the wetland terrain of the area. Such a massive construction would create a hazard to the property itself, the surrounding dwellings and upset the nature area across the street. Homes along the 4100 block of Lynn Ave are all split level because of the high water table beneath. Allowing the easement for the building of a multilevel home with a full basement is asking for unnecessary water damage to the home. The recently new -build on that block containing a full basement has experienced the repercussion of the issues associated with the high water table. This problem has not been limited to the new home itself but has affected all of the residences on the 4100 block of Lynn and Monterey. The outcome has been excessive water accumulation in the back yards due to the disruption of the natural water flow. The extent of this problem did not occur prior to the construction of the excessively large home on a small piece of land that was elevated to accommodate for the full basement. Additionally, the cost basis of the proposed build on 4100 Lynn Ave is greater than 3X the cost basis of any of the surrounding properties. This creates a potential property tax discrepancy incongruent with the other homes in the area. Property taxes, as you know, are a necessary burden to all of us. However, for our elderly neighbors, on a limited income, property tax increases create a stressful scenario whereby it compromises their ability to stay in their existing homes. I hope you will seriously consider the objections I have with the proposed vacation of easement for the property related to 4100 Lynn Ave and vote against it.

I did not receive notice of the hearing by mail and have talked to more than five neighbors on my block who did not receive notice either. Perhaps you could look into the legitimacy of the notice of hearings as the only neighbor I know that did receive notice was my neighbor and councilmember, Joni Bennett. I am a resident of 4010 Lynn Avenue and have resided here since 1989. 1 appeared at the City Council Meeting on September 4th and stayed until after 11 p.m. to voice the following concerns: 1. The integrity of our neighborhood is being diminished. Our neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Edina with a flavor and character all it's own that carries the history of Morningside forth. Its' integrity is being destroyed every time a home is moved or completely demolished to build something bigger and better. Not to mention it could end up rewarding those who let their property go without repair, because an eventual sale of the home for removal and sale of the property separately for a new build can be quite profitable. 2. The mature adults in our neighborhood on fixed incomes will be taxed out of their homes. I have raised this issue with councilmember Bennett before, that although this city portends to be taking initiatives care and plan to provide viable alternatives for it's elderly citizens to stay within the City, increasing taxes will not allow for this. There is no question that those on fixed incomes, (which may include us one day), cannot afford to stay in their homes as the increase in property taxes continues to consume more of their resources. 3. Increased property taxes burden all of us in this economy. Let's face it, our taxes rise as with the average market value of homes in our immediate vicinity (our block). While it seems positive that the resale value of our homes go up, what good will it do if we can't afford to stay in our homes due to the increase in property taxes? I am not at all adverse to people building on to existing homes, as most often the additions are in keeping with the character of the home and the setback regulations maintain the home size to property ratio. It is rather unfortunate that Edina does not already have laws in effect yet to protect the integrity of our neighborhoods as this "McMansion phenomenon" is not new and has been creeping up in us for years now. The purpose of the petition by the builder of the property at 4100 Lynn Ave. is obviously to expand the property line so that another extremely large home (McMansion) that will exceed 4500 sq. feet can be built there. Please see the attached listing that is provided in the sleeve of the for sale sign currently located on this property. He already has an 85 foot wide lot to build on (10' setbacks on each side allow for a 65 foot wide home). Although the gentleman who owned the property claims he will live there for a couple of years with his family, the listing I have attached for your reference leads me to believe to the contrary. The owner, who also admits to being the builder did not state his address in Shakopee or state the name of his company, there was no further inquiry verify his intent to live there with his family. The neighbors on Lynn to the south of 4100 are against it because of all kinds of environmental reasons, not the least of which is that the recent larger scale new home that was recently built at the bottom of the hill (4116 Lynn Ave) has caused some drainage problems for the surrounding area which are trying to be worked out. Apparently, the neighbor to the north and the neighbor to the West of the 4100 property (behind on Monterey) also came to the hearing to object but were unable to testify because the hearing ran too late and they could not stay(two hotly contested cases before that pushed our matter until after 11 p.m.) I hope every effort will be made to extend another opportunity for them to voice their concerns before you. subject them to increased tax burdens of up to $400 more a year, when one questions any enjoyment the property holder on Monterey will have save for an asphalt drive (that will continue to be the City's right of way to the utility boxes) or even Mr. Cronstrom, the property holder on Lynn to the north, who has had to put up with the lack of maintenance of the easement for years now. Granted, it was quite late that all of this was addressed, but no one addressed my question as to who maintains or fails to maintain this easement property currently. Councilmember Housh inaccurately referred to Lynn Avenue as already having several new builds on the block. Councilmember Bennett suggested he was thinking of the add-ons to homes currently located in the south Lynn block. It led me to wonder just how many of our council members are familiar with the Morningside neighborhood other than Ms. Bennett. My understanding is that there will be no further opportunity to comment by the public, except by correspondence, and that you as a council, have continued the matter for four weeks until they could get a plat from the County that shows the property identification and lot ratios. I have encouraged my neighbors to express their opinions on this matter as it seems they did not get notice of the hearing. I really encourage you, as a council, to reconsider vacating the whole or even partial easement when to do so will obviously give the go ahead to the builder/developer to build a larger home that is not to scale in this lovely, now rapidly changing, little pocket of quaint Morningside. I would also urge you to put in place laws in the future which will protect the character and integrity of our older neighborhoods, and create viable alternatives for the aging population to continue to enrich our neighborhoods.

Ann Swenson Edina City Council Edina City Hall 4801 West 50th Edina MN 55424 September 16, 2007 Oppose Vacating Easement for 41St Street at Bottom of Lynn Avenue Dear Ann Swenson, As an Edina resident who lives at 4012 Lynn Avenue, I want to vehemently oppose the recent request to vacate the easement for 41 st street at the bottom of the hill on Lynn Avenue in order to construct a million dollar house. The easement is requested by a builder who intends to extend the property line to accommodate an enormous house. My reasons for my concern are as follows: • I am nearing retirement age and am already seeing an annual property tax increase on my house. I greatly fear the construction of a $1,280,000 house, the price listed on the attached information sheet for that property. The trend to build such houses ultimately pushes up taxes and removes citizens like myself from our existing homes. • My neighbors at the bottom of the hill where this house will be built have had difficulties with a similar house constructed at 4116 Lynn Avenue. This structure is so large that it has caused serious drainage problems on various sides of the house, making swamps of the backyards of those in proximity. • Our Morningside neighborhood welcomes change, but not when it aversely affects neighbors in the vicinity of a new structure, and not when it ultimately removes the features for which Morningside is known. These include the charm and unique blend of houses that speak to the history of past areas, welcoming progress unless it harms neighbors and changes the demographics of the area. I urge you to oppose this petition and thank you in advance for listening to my reasons for speaking against it.

Linda Masica Edina City Council Edina City Hall 4801 West 50th Edina MN 55424 September 16, 2007 Oppose Vacating Easement for 41St Street at Bottom of Lynn Avenue Dear Linda Masica, As an Edina resident who lives at 4012 Lynn Avenue, I want to vehemently oppose the recent request to vacate the easement for 41 st street at the bottom of the hill on Lynn Avenue in order to construct a million dollar house. The easement is requested by a builder who intends to extend the property line to accommodate an enormous house. My reasons for my concern are as follows: • I am nearing retirement age and am already seeing an annual property tax increase on my house. I greatly fear the construction of a $1,280,000 house, the price listed on the attached information sheet for that property. The trend to build such houses ultimately pushes up taxes and removes citizens like myself from our existing homes. My neighbors at the bottom of the hill where this house will be built have had difficulties with a similar house constructed at 4116 Lynn Avenue. This structure is so large that it has caused serious drainage problems on various sides of the house, making swamps of the backyards of those in proximity. Our Morningside neighborhood welcomes change, but not when it aversely affects neighbors in the vicinity of a new structure, and not when it ultimately removes the features for which Morningside is known. These include the charm and unique blend of houses that speak to the history of past areas, welcoming progress unless it harms neighbors and changes the demographics of the area. I urge you to oppose this petition and thank you in advance for listening to my reasons for speaking against it.

Info/Background: The owner of the property located at 4100 Lynn Avenue requests the proposed vacation of the existing right-of-way, West 41St Street from Monterey Avenue to Lynn Avenue, see attached sketch. Staff mailed letters to the adjacent property owners asking them if they agree with the vacation. We received confirmation of support from the property owner of 4021 Monterey Avenue and non-support from the property owner of 4022 Lynn Avenue. We have not received any correspondence from the property owner of 4101 Monterey Avenue. Centerpoint Energy does not object to this vacation. Comcast requests that the vacation be subject to retaining all utility rights or easements. The City of Edina Utilities does have utilities in this area and request that the vacation be subject to retaining all utility rights or easements. Xcei Energy and Qwest have not yet responded to this request. Staff feels that there is not a future need for this right-of-way and recommends the vacation of the entire right-of-way be approved on condition of retaining all existing utility easements on the property.
