He said at full build out the site would include a 17-story, 193-foot tall building with 157 units of apartments with underground parking, a 3-story, 27-unit artist loft for affordable housing apartments, a 20,000-30,000-square foot art center/active adult center, a district parking ramp with 430 stalls, and a public plaza on Eden and Arcadia. Applicant Presentation David Anderson, Frauenshuh Inc., introduced his team and commented on the collaborative effort with the City staff. Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture, highlighted the proposed Grandview project at 5146 Eden Avenue based on the development guidelines. He shared the basic site plan with an art center, activity lawn, and common space that resulted in an interconnected product. He commented on the affordable housing components, market-rate housing, flexible space, common park and art and adult activity center. Mr. Dovolis noted a Park and Ride element could be contained within and stressed the activity on all sides with a green presence and the benefit of 95% recycled rainwater because of the covered parking. Terry Minarik, Confluence Design, shared an overview of site landscape elements which featured a porous site with interconnections and shared the series of terraces, tower amenities, and programmable space with pickle ball, basketball, soccer and concerts. He said a green buffer would be created with a green wall and activity circulation wall with rock climbing and other activities such as an art gallery. Economic Development Manager Neuendorf shared how this had been a long-planned process and that comments from the community open houses focused on height concerns, the need for other community elements, traffic concerns, and an overall excitement for this project. Michael Fry, Edina Art Center, shared how the current Art Center was not ADA compliant and that this well-designed building with adult and active centers would be compatible and beneficial for combined programming. The Council said they were pleased with the innovation of design, green space and green roof, and rain water management. They referred to the need for traffic studies and encouraged screening of mechanicals and muted lighting. They commented that the civic space needed to be larger versus the condos and the creation of more civic space for a community hub that included future rail transit. The Council suggested the need to include similar south connections for residents of the Trammel Crow building and to take advantage of height for two-level parking covered with civic space. They offered support for the walk ups but shared concerns about proximity to Arcadia Avenue and suggested arrangements for public parking. The Council discussed traffic issues regarding Eden Avenue and the controlled intersection at 53rd Street with a round-about that would serve Arcadia Avenue. The Council discussed the importance of pedestrian safety, a central plaza that included both the residential tower and community center with hospitality service and encouraged even more sustainability efforts such as power waste and power consumption. They noted height was essential for the site to be successful and supported the traffic management component and building placement of bringing the park to the corner to be more public. They commented on storm water management and the public parking placement and the potential of blending housing to create a better community. Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/February 7. 2018 Mr. Dovolis said green space access worked both ways on the lowest level and the 10-foot easement was an open issue and could be pushed 10 feet west to open up even further for more front stoops and small yard areas. The Council commented on transportation challenges and supported the staircases, public art, and integrity and warmth of landscaping. They said they were pleased with the public/private partnership and fiscal responsibilities and suggested possible outdoor movie opportunities, increased green space engagement and walkability, and suggested more windows be incorporated.
