Ms. Clark noted most community feedback was supportive of the changes to the meanders and tree locations and shared that partial funding had been levied with the Watershed District and that the remaining funding would occur in 2019 to be identified through agency grants. Ms. Kattreh outlined next steps that included architect selection for the shelter building design,playground design process, public open houses, bid award and construction, and identifying funding sources for the unfunded portions. VI.B. BREDESEN PARK E NEIGHBORHOOD ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENT NO. BA-499 —REPORT RECEIVED —RESOLUTION NO. 2018-14 -ADOPTED Mr. Millner stated staff recommended not to reconstruct Bredesen Park E as part of the neighborhood reconstruction program in 2018, but rather build a multi-use trail along the east side of Lincoln Drive between Londonderry Road and Dovre Drive as a stand-alone project.

He explained how the property owners within the Bredesen Park E Neighborhood project area requested the project be delayed in order to meet with Engineering staff.

SKETCH PLAN: 3650 HAZELTON ROAD — REVIEWED Community Development Director Presentation Community Development Director Teague said the Council was asked to provide the applicant with non-binding comments and direction on a potential redevelopment project at 3650 Hazelton Road. He described the request, noting it would require a rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment for a 17-story, 170-unit all age residential tower. Mr. Teague referred to potential changes for Council consideration to amend height requirements from the Comprehensive Plan because after June 30 any heights over what was outlined in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan would not be allowed by the Metropolitan Council. Applicant Presentation Tom Lund, Lund Real Estate Partners, LLC, shared his background and their proposal that would create a unique landmark development and high-rise that currently did not exist in the Twin Cities area and would spur future development for Edina. Trace Jacques, ESG Architects, shared how the project afforded an opportunity for landmark luxury buildings at an ideal location for a building of this height. He described proposed pedestrian orientation, walkability, and accessibility for residents, visitors and services. He shared the amenity and private terraces, how all facades could be potential building fronts for flexibility, and outlined the promenade with high levels of finish, links to front porches, and public art possibilities. Terry Minarik, Confluence Minneapolis, shared images of the proposed landscape plan that included the promenade, private residences, streetscapes, and amenity deck with a balance between private and public space with outdoor seating and space for events. He commented on potential pollinator and other gardens for stormwater treatment as well as a green wall for art. Page 3 Minutes/Edina City Council/January 17, 2018 Mr. Jacques commented on working principles, improved connectivity, taller mass building setbacks, activated promenade, and enclosed parking. The Council shared that increased FAR was not a concern at this location as the promenade was in the front but cautioned about density causing more traffic and suggested alternate transportation modes. The Council indicated it was impressed with the use as all residential and commented on the need for future traffic studies. The Council commented on the need for mechanical screening, muted lighting options to overcome height, water management plan, eco-friendly components,and affordable housing component. In addition,the developer must plan traffic organization for deliveries. The Council commented on the trend for fewer parking places and requested innovative methods for heating and cooling be explored as well as pervious surfaces for any non- vehicular areas. The Council found the high design level and materials would be an appropriate trade-off for height and noted affordable housing could be address offsite. The Council indicated it was pleased the project would provide additional housing options for residents to remain in Edina. VI.D.
