1. Welcome/Introductions
Jimmy Bennet (chair) convened the meeting and led introductions. Jimmy asked the SAPWG to share the results
of the post car exercises – members were asked to right a post card to themselves from 20 years in the future
describing the 44th and France area. Common topics were: trolleys and circulator buses, cafes and restaurants,
vibrant and livable places, great aesthetics excellence in planning and design walkable, pedestrian plaza, and
neighborhood clinic,
2. Project updates
The consultant team provided the group an update on potential future development plans for the Edina Cleaners
site. Ted Carlson has entered into a purchase agreement to develop the site. As a result, Mr. Carlson will resign
from the SAPWG, effective immediately.
The consultant team recapped the small area plan process and process graphic, emphasizing that we are working
toward the development of plan concepts and alternatives this summer.
3. Issues and opportunities
The SAPWG discussed issues and opportunity sites within the study area by marking comments on a project area
existing conditions map. Common themes included developing a shared parking site, improving the streetscape

and aesthetics of the area, trucks cut through neighborhoods and loading on streets, and implementing traffic
calming.
The Chair led a review of the field walk/photo exercise. Members were asked to complete a field walk and to take
photos of the areas that are positive and areas that could be improved. Photos were shown on screen for group
discussion. Common themes were nicely landscaped building fronts, baron sidewalks that need improvement,
parking in front of buildings being undesirable, and the potential to add density in ways that complement the
physical characteristics of the site (e.g., topography and grade changes).
4. Community meeting 1
The group discussed the presentation material and logistics for community meeting number 1. The meeting is
tentatively planned for Monday, June 19, from 7 – 9 at the Morningside Community Church. Rebecca Sorenson
will confirm availability.
The group discussed the presentation material and activities. The meeting will be conducted in a workshop
format, with SAPWG members facilitating groups (the consultant will provide a detailed facilitators guide).
The group discussed the need to clearly set expectations (e.g., what is and isn’t included) right away in the plan
to dissuade any misconceptions or mistrust from the public. Some felt that members of the public feel that this
effort (i.e., the small area plan) is intended to push out existing businesses in favor of new and generic
development. Promotional material will be important. It will be critical to develop an enticing flyer to ensure good
participation from the public.
5. Public comment
Seven members of the public attended the meeting. Two people spoke at the end of the meeting. Comments
focused on the need to engage the community throughout the process
6. Adjourn
The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:30 p.m.

Mapping Summary
22 April 2017
Macintosh HD:Users:michaelschroeder:Desktop:Edina:comprehensive plan: Mapping summary, 20170422.docx
The piece that is needed after yesterday's exercise is a fair summary of the input from the Big Map input
and the afternoon sketch session. I think the recap can't be a report of what people said, but rather a
translation that gives some trajectory toward the comprehensive plan—yesterday was, at its most basic
level—its highest level frame.
Maybe Bill and his team are working on the summary. As the unpaid version of your three "experts," I
want to offer my own summary as the starting point for the comprehensive plan.
First, there really are only a handful of big ideas needed for a framework for the comprehensive plan—I
think there are eight, maybe ten. They're really pretty simple. And at least two give credence to the
layout of a work plan that focuses on small area plans.
NODES AND MODES
(A) Reimagine nodes as places of more dense community activity connected by vibrant multi-modal
parkways and boulevards >>> A VIBRANT PUBLIC REALM
Note: Nodes are existing and potential commercial districts, some parks, some schools,
but adding the connections (parkways and boulevards that accommodate a range of
movement types) is key. The creation of a more significant node—not necessarily one for
each neighborhood—might give some sense of relevance to the neighborhood
association/group idea (otherwise, it's just remains weirdly contrived and will never be
relevant).
(B) Reform commercial zones as unique combinations of activity offering greater diversity of use,
especially related to housing choices and opportunities for public gathering >>> DISTINCTIVE
AND DYNAMIC DISTRICTS
Note: This is really the focus of the small area plan portion of the comprehensive plan.
Without some statement like this, that effort seems un-comprehensive.
(C) Reconsider the community's infrastructure in ways that' are sustainable, prudent, efficient, and
most important, are relevant for people >>> RESPONSIBLE DELIVERY OF SERVICES
Note: This really has to do with the ways taxing authorities in Edina need to work better
to achieve a plan... it might also suggest that the city become more active in pursuing
relationships with Mn DOT (arterial trails and lids) and Hennepin County (turn backs,
library site). It might also capture the idea that most people use streets in their
neighborhoods as the basic place for recreation, so the "can of paint" becomes operative
as a solution. The garbage truck phenomenon might also come into this piece.
(D) Refocus energy on education as a community value >>> NOT SURE HERE
• We might need to think about the opportunities for connecting to things outside of Edina, like
the Dan Patch line... I'm not sure how that works, although it's really important to at least two
nodes.
• Finally, there needs to be a simple diagram supporting those five points, perhaps supported by a
series of compelling precedent images for each of the five points.
