Generally located south of Vernon Avenue and west of Arctic Way. Z-74-8 Melvin Gittleman. Generally located south of Vernon Avenue and west of Arctic Way. Refer to: Attached site plan and subdivision dedication report. The district court recently determined that the City of Edina should rezone this property to PRD -3. The city does not, however, by this ruling give up its total review powers, but we have to realize that in the end the property will be rezoned. We have discussed with the developers several details which were shown on the preliminary plans which he has now modified for the final development plan. Most important of those is the relocation of the tennis courts from the top of the hill, where it is heavily wooded, to the lower portion of the hill where the former barn was located and thus is unvegetated. The Environmental Quality Commission recommended approval of the final development plan but specified that a soil erosion and sedimentation plan should be submitted and approved with the building permit application. The proponents ate still requesting a 72 unit condominium in three buildings. They would meet both the surface and underground parking requirements and have, according to their grading plans, minimized the area which would be disturbed. The proposed exterior of the buildings are natural materials, primarily brick and cedar. The landscape plan incorporates the natural vegetation to the most advantage and supplements that natural vegetation with junipers and spruce and shrubbery. This will allow the development to appear vegetated in all seasons. Although the development will be a condominium, the proponents are calling for a one -lot subdivision, indicating that each unit owner would share an undivided interest in all of the land. The staff would recommend approval of the proposed plan pursuant to the court's order and of the proposed subdivision contingent on the following: 1. that the developer be required to place a snow fence at the edge of all areas which are proposed to be disturbed so that the disturbance of the natural vegetation would be minimized. 2. payment of a fee in lieu of parkland per the attached subdivision dedication report.

EDINA PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT June 2, 1976 5-76-11 Erickson Addition. Generally located south of W. 54th Street at Zenith Avenue. Refer to: Reduced survey and subdivision dedication report. The proponents are requesting to subdivide a portion of property which is adjacent to Minnehaha Creek and has access to West 54th Street. The property has been widened by the vacation of a 30 foot strip of Zenith Avenue; the resultant frontage is 79.8 feet. There is an extreme grade from W. 54th Street, thus any residence proposed here will have to be designed for this unique site. A similar request was presented two years ago, and at that time the City Council vacated Zenith Avenue but required that the property owner must subdivide and dedicate the land at the rear portion of the property which is located in the flood plain. Recommendation: The staff would recommend approval of the subdivision contingent on the dedication of Outlot A as shown on the attached subdivision dedication report.

Hanson. Generally located at the northeast corner of the Crosstown Highway and County Road 18, adjacent to Lincoln Drive and Vernon Avenue. R-1 to PRD -3. Refer to: Project booklet, subdivision dedication report, and density adjustment report. The attached density adjustment report shows that the developer is proposing less units per acre than the maximum provided for in the Western Edina Plan and less than the adjustment pursuant to the recent amendment to the land use plans. The statistics in the project booklet show that the developer is requesting a 6.27 unit per acre project on 15.94 acres, or a total of 100 units. These units will be sold as condominiums (perma-lease), and are one story in height. While there are a lot of advantages to developing one story structures, such as reduced density, there are also a number of difficulties. In order to achieve any kind of density the hard surface area must occupy a significant percentage of the site. Thus, the area appears congested, as does this plan. The staff also questions the lack of sensitivity toward the natural amenities of the site such as the ponding area on the west site and the oaks on the north central portion of the west site and the north point of the east site. In addition to these comments, the staff would suggest that an additional detail be resolved; that is, the entrances on to Vernon from the two halves of the property should be directly across from each other to minimize turning congestion. The developer has buffered himself from the freeway with the recreation area and roads whenever possible, and thus seems to be minimizing to the greatest possible degree the noise impact on the site from the freeway. Recommendation; The staff would recommend that the Planning Commission review the staff's comments and their own comments with the developer and attempt to encourage the developer to utilize to a greater degree the natural resources so that the site may be opened up as well as preserving its natural resources. In addition, the developer should be encouraged to prepare additional graphics showing the relationship of the buildings to the land as well as graphics with dimensions identified.

Generally located at the southwest corner of Vernon Avenue and Olinger Road. Refer to: Attached site plan, sketch of preliminary plat, staff sketch, and subdivision dedication report. The proponents are requesting to subdivide the existing five lots on the southwest corner of Vernon Avenue and Olinger Road into 8 lots. A new cul-de- saced road would be added off of Vernon Avenue. The road enters Vernon Avenue at the same angle that Olinger Road presently enters Vernon Avenue. It is suggested that the road enter at 90 degrees if at all.possible. The proponents are also requesting a rezoning of the three westernmost lots to R-2 (double bungalows). The R-2 lots would be from 15,380 square feet to 16,875 square feet (the minimun lot size for and R-2 lot is 15,000 square feet). Four of the five single family lots vary in size from 9,360 square feet to 9,665 square feet, with the fifth single family lot being 11,100 square feet. The neighbor- hood lot sizes are about 12,000 to 13,000 square feet. On the attached graphic, the staff has shown an alternate proposal for this site which shows the R-2 units facing Vernon Avenue, the road entering Vernon Avenue at a right angle, a shorter cul-de-sac, and larger single family lots. Recommendation: While the staff is not in the habit of doing work for developers, we felt in this instance it was necessary to sketch up our ideas so that they could be more easily understood by the Planning Commission and the developer. We feel there are numerous advantages to our sketch over that by the developer and we are sure there would be other alternatives which would be equally advantageous. The staff does, however, feel that the R-2 zoning in the area is appropriate, especially considering the mixed use across Vernon Avenue. The Western Edina Plan indicates this property could be used for low density attached residential.

With the great amount of enthusiasm that seems apparent in the community regarding an art center and if enough money is raised, it seems wise to continue this enthusiasm by having a temporary art center. Mr. Rosland also reported that the owners of the Miller property located at Lake Cornelia have agreed to sell for $95,000 with the stipulation that Mrs. Miller be allowed to remain in her home for approximately one year. It is hoped that upon her moving that the art center which would be temporarily located at the Moore property would then be located at the Miller property which seems like a suitable location for such a facility. After lengthy discussion, Mrs. Lonsbury moved to recommend to Council to temporarily place the art center at the Moore property this fall with the equipment to be purchased by any proceeds from the Bicentennial Ball. Mrs. Shaw seconded and the motion was approved. In accordance to the above motion, Mr. Warner moved to recommend to Council to purchase the Miller property at $95,000 and approve the stipulation that 11rs. Miller remain in her home for approximately one year at which time the art center be moved from the Moore property to the Miller property located at Lake Cornelia. Mr. Pavek seconded and the motion was approved.
