CITY OF EDINA
Policy on Affordable Housing
Background
The City recognizes the need to provide affordable housing in order to maintain a diverse
population and to provide housing for those who live or work in the City. Since the remaining land appropriate for
new residential development is limited, it is essential that a reasonable proportion of such land be developed into
affordable housing units. As such, the City of Edina adopts the following Affordable Housing Policy:
The Policy
1. This policy applies to all new multi-family developments of 20 or more units that require a re-zoning to
Planned Unit Development (PUD) or a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
2. New rental developments will provide a minimum of 10% of all rentable area at 50% affordable rental
rates or 20% of all rentable area at 60% affordable rental rates as defined below.
3. New for sale developments will provide a minimum of 10% of all livable area at affordable sales prices as
defined below.
4. New rental housing will remain affordable for a minimum of 15 years, and this requirement will be
memorialized by a land use restrictive covenant.
5. Recognizing that affordable housing is created through a partnership between the City and developers,
the city will consider the following incentives for developments that provide affordable housing:
A. Density bonuses
B. Parking reductions
C. Tax increment financing
D. Deferred low interest loans from the Edina Housing Foundation
6. It is the strong preference of the City that each new qualifying development provide its proportionate
share of affordable housing, however, the City recognizes that it may not be economically feasible or
practical in all circumstances to do so. As such, the City reserves the right to waive this policy (only if
circumstances so dictate, as determined by the City). In lieu of providing affordable housing in each new
qualifying development, the City may consider the following:
A. Dedication of existing units in Edina equal to 110% of what would have been provided in a
proposed new development. These units would need to be of an equivalent quality, within the
determination of the City.
B. New construction of units of an equivalent quality within the City at a different site, at the
discretion of the City.
C. Participation in the construction of affordable dwelling units of an equivalent quality by another
developer on a different site within the City.
D. An alternative proposed by a developer that directly or indirectly provides or enables provision of
an equivalent amount of affordable housing within the City.

Americans with Disabilities Act Interview
Kathleen Smith is a Deaf adult and Edina resident. She was in elementary school when the
ADA was passed, and she is now the parent of an elementary age student. Kathleen is also a
former board member and past Vice President of the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens,
and she is an educational assistant with children who are Deaf or have other communication
challenges. The following stories about the impact of the ADA are from an interview the Edina
Human Rights and Relations Commission (EHRRC) conducted with Kathleen.
EHRRC: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) turns 25 this on July 26. Many readers of
this blog are familiar with obvious impacts of this legislation such as ramps at building entrances
and strategically placed elevators. You don’t need ramps or elevators, so how does the ADA
impact your life?
Kathleen: The biggest impact of the ADA has been to provide me with interpreters. Because of
the ADA, I have interpreters for all my doctor appointments and other important meetings like
my son’s school conferences. It really helps make the communication go smoothly between
hearing person and me with interpreters that voice for me and interpret.
I also had interpreters at school and in high school sports. If the ADA did not exist, it would be
more challenging for me to communicate because I would have to write back and forth. My first
language is American Sign Language (ASL), and English is my second language.
EHRRC: Can you tell us about how the ADA has impacted some of your friends?
Elders in the Deaf community have told me stories about what life was like before the ADA and
other changes to education law. In the past, Deaf children were mainstreamed and never had
interpreters in schools. They had to lipread and go to oral schools. It was not easy for them
because they often failed classes, they struggled, they didn’t have friends to play with, and
could not communicate with anyone. Many who lived through these hard times before the ADA
passed in 1990 said it changed their lives. They said that now they are grateful because it is
much easier for them to communicate.
EHRRC: Please tell us about some changes you would like to see made to the ADA.
I would like to see improvements in safety during emergencies. For example, lots of buildings
have flashing lights when fire alarms sound, but there are no visual clues for lockdowns or other
emergencies. It would be good to have systems in place that are more visible such as color
coded lights or more emergency texts sent out - especially in public places such as malls.
Also, we need to make sure the ADA is followed. Just because it is a law doesn’t mean it is
always followed. For example, in 2014, a young man was accepted to a osteopathic medicine
program in Washington state. When the school found out he was Deaf, they tried to revoke his
admission because the school said he would be a safety threat to patients and his presence
would take away from the educational experience of the hearing students. The National
Association for the Deaf represented the student, and a United States District Court ordered the
school to enroll him and provide interpreters.
EHRRC: What advice would you give Edina residents seeking to improve equity and access for
all Minnesotans?
One simple thing Edina residents can do is to fight for improved equity and access for all
Minnesotans to parks. It would be great for all children with special needs to have access to all
parks. Cornelia school’s playground is a great example of an accessible park. Also, when
teams are discussing emergency plans in schools, businesses or public groups, please
remember to include plans that are inclusive of Deaf people and people with other disabilities.
Healing Minnesota Stories Petition to the Art Subcommittee of the MN State Capitol
Preservation Commission @
https://www.change.org/p/art-subcommittee-of-the-mn-state-capitol-preservation-commission-
minnesotas-state-capitol-preservation-commission-minnesota-historical-society-minnesota-state-house-
minnesota-state-senate-mark-make-the-minnesota-state-capitol-more-welcoming-r#petition-letter
The artwork in the Minnesota State Capitol tells a narrow and incomplete version of our
history. It has offensive images of Native Americans and does not reflect our state’s
current diverse population. This should not come as a surprise, since much of the art
dates from the early 1900s when the capitol was built. However, we now face a once-in-
a-lifetime opportunity for change. A major capitol renovation is underway. An Art
Subcommittee has been created to gather broad public comment on what stories the
capitol art should tell about Minnesota, its history, its values, and its people. This is an
opportunity to make your voice heard!
We are asking the state to:
1. Remove offensive, traumatizing paintings from the capitol, including: The
Discoverers and Civilizers Led to the Source of the Mississippi; Father Hennepin
Discovering the Falls of St. Anthony; The Signing of the Treaty of Traverse des
Sioux; and The Battle of Killdeer Mountain. (More details below.)
2. Find a new home for the capitol art that is removed, where it can be remembered
and interpreted.
3. Better interpret the capitol’s remaining historic art, preferably with interactive
touch screens.
4. Provide more in-depth training for capitol tour guides on the art’s history and
meaning.
5. Add new capitol art that reflects and honors Minnesota’s current ethnic and cultural
diversity.
The bottom line is that we can do better. Minnesota's population is becoming
increasingly diverse. Our capitol art needs to show that all people are welcome and
have a place at the capitol's decision-making tables. Further, given what the capitol
represents to our civic life, we can find better symbols of Minnesota values. Think of the
Minnesota artists, innovators, writers, explorers, entrepreneurs, educators, laborers,
healers, public servants, and others who could be honored on our capitol's walls, along
with important moments in our state's history that have taken place since the capitol's
opening in 1905.
Other states have tried various innovations. For instance, the New Mexico State
Capitol has become a showcase for contemporary New Mexican artists. New Mexico's
leaders created the New Mexico Capitol Art Foundation in 1991. Its mission is: "to
collect, preserve, exhibit, interpret, and promote appreciation of works of art that reflect
the rich and diverse history, cultures, and art forms of the people of New Mexico." The
collection now represents the work of more than 600 New Mexico artists, and includes
paintings, photography, sculpture, mixed media, textiles, ceramic and furniture.
The Alaska State Capitol makes a point of featuring student artwork.
With a major capitol renovation underway in Minnesota, this is our chance to think big
about our public art.
Organizations supporting this petition: World Without Genocide.
Background: Here are some of the problems with specific pieces of historic art in the
Minnesota State Capitol.
The Discoverers and Civilizers Led to the Source of the Mississippi: Of all the
historic capitol art, this Senate chamber mural is most disturbing. It represents the
forced conversion of Native Americans and stands in opposition to our deeply held
belief in freedom of religion. Note the priest holding out a cross towards the Native
Americans in the center of the painting while a man behind the priest restrains two
snarling dogs. This is a threat about what will happen to the Native Americans if they do
not convert. The angels represent divine intervention on behalf of the explorers and
civilizers, a symbol of Manifest Destiny and God’s preference for the Europeans. The
young native woman in the center is half naked, a historically inaccurate image of
traditional dress and an effort to paint Native Americans as less than civilized.
Father Hennepin Discovering the Falls of St. Anthony: This is one of six major
paintings in the Governor’s Reception Room. It goes without saying that Father
Hennepin did not discover the falls anymore than Columbus discovered America.
Saying Hennepin “discovered” falls and had the right to name the falls implies that the
Dakota people who lived there for centuries were somehow less than human – they and
their place names did not count. This is a painting about power. It shows Father
Hennepin towering over the Dakota people, implying he was in charge. He was not. At
the time of his visit to the falls, Hennepin was a Dakota prisoner. Note the Native
woman at right carrying a heavy pack. Again, she is half naked; again it is historically
inaccurate.
The Signing of the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux: This is another of the six major
paintings hanging in the Governor’s Reception Room. It tells an incredibly one-sided
version of history. Under the treaty, the Dakota ceded 24 million acres of land to the
United States—roughly one third of Minnesota plus portions of Iowa and the Dakotas.
The painting represents the treaty signing as a fair, calm negotiation between two sides
with equal power. It does not square with what we know of the process. Historian
William Lass wrote: “As the treaty’s terms were explained to them, the chiefs and
headmen realized they were being presented with an ultimatum. Collectively, they
concluded it was better to sign and get something for their land rather than refuse and
run the risk of simply having it taken from them.” After the treaty signing, Dakota leaders
were led to a second document to which most placed their mark. This paper was neither
read nor explained. It allowed traders to get paid directly from treaty money for any
debts they claimed individual Dakota people owed them. Of the initial $305,000 treaty
cash payment, the Dakota got less than 20 percent, according to “Little War on the
Prairie,” an NPR report that aired in 2012.
The Battle of Killdeer Mountain: (Also called The Battle of Ta Ha Kouty.) This painting
hangs in a capitol third floor conference room. It represents punishment, greed, and a
less-than-glorious moment in Minnesota history. This battle took place July 28-29, 1864
in Dakota Territory, nearly 300 miles from the Minnesota border. According to a North
Dakota historical marker, the troops were sent to punish the Dakota following the
Dakota-U.S. War of 1862 and to develop safe routes to newly discovered gold field to
the west. Minnesota’s Eighth Regiment had vastly superior weapons, and only five
soldiers died in the fighting compared to 100 to 150 Indians. Many of the Native people
involved had nothing to do with the Dakota U.S. War. After the fighting, troops found a
Native infant alive in the abandoned camp and shot it, according to an account by one
of the troops.
To reiterate, we believe this history needs to be remembered, but the capitol is the
wrong place for this art. It sends the wrong message. This art needs to be moved to a
museum where it can be better interpreted.

Minnesota Art Sub Committee
We, the undersigned City Human Rights Commissions, write this letter of support for the
recommendation for changes to the art in the Capitol put forward by Healing Minnesota Stories.
The artwork in the Minnesota State Capitol currently tells a narrow and incomplete version of our
history. It has offensive images of Native Americans and does not reflect our state’s current diverse
population. We affirm that our capitol art should reflect the fact that all people are welcome and have
a place at the capitol's decision-making tables. The capitol is an important part of our civic life and we
can find better symbols of Minnesota values to reflect in her art. There are diverse Minnesota artists,
innovators, writers, explorers, entrepreneurs, educators, laborers, healers, public servants, and others
who should be honored on our capitol's walls, along with important moments in our state's history that
have taken place since the capitol's opening in 1905.
The changes put forward include:
1. Remove offensive, traumatizing paintings from the capitol, including: The Discoverers and
Civilizers Led to the Source of the Mississippi; Father Hennepin Discovering the Falls of St.
Anthony; The Signing of the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux; and The Battle of Killdeer
Mountain.
2. Find a new home for the capitol art that is removed, where it can be remembered and
interpreted.
3. Better interpret the capitol’s remaining historic art, preferably with interactive touch
screens.
4. Provide more in-depth training for capitol tour guides on the art’s history and meaning.
5. Add new capitol art that reflects and honors Minnesota’s current ethnic and cultural
diversity.
