He stated along with the change to methodology, there was a concerted effort from the Assessing Department to measure the assessable area for each of the businesses which resulted in an increase to the adjusted assessable area to 416,768 square feet. At the time of the public hearings for that project, there was significant discussion about keeping the level of investment current by meeting with the demands of the district but the feasibility study found an additional $100,000 should be directed into the district annually. Mr. Barnes stated with the projected loss of the Center Ramp, staff chose not to move forward with Center Ramp projects slated for 2017.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-92 AND ORDINANCE NO. 2018-09; PRELIMINARY REZONING AND PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 4500 FRANCE AVENUE AND 3905 AND 3907 SUNNSIDE ROAD —ADOPTED Community Development Director Presentation Community Development Director Teague presented the request of Orion Investments to redevelop a one- acre tract of land at 4500 France Avenue and 3905 and 3907 Sunnyside Road that would include a 4-story, 45-unit apartment, 6,500 square feet of restaurant and retail space with 69 below-grade parking stalls and 40 at-grade, enclosed public parking stalls for the retail uses. Units would range from I- to 3-bedrooms with 2 units (4%) proposed for affordable housing. Mr. Teague stated the project would also include a public gathering space/pocket park on the west side of the development to provide transition to the single-family neighborhood to the west, improved pedestrian and public realm space along France and Sunnyside, and an amenity terrace facing south. Primary vehicle access points would be off France Avenue and Sunnyside Road. The access road off France was on the adjacent property to the south, which was owned by the applicant. Existing curb cuts on the subject property on France would be eliminated. Mr. Teague highlighted changes completed by the applicant since sketch plan review that included a reduction in the number of units from 52 to 45, direct residential unit access to the pocket park, activated Sunnyside portion of the project with the lobby and a portion of the restaurant on Sunnyside, building redesign at the corner to incorporate metal panels within a projecting bay element to vary the architectural expression at the intersection, and others. He stated the Planning Commission added two conditions in their recommendation that included limiting construction traffic to France Avenue and all commercial deliveries Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 2, 2018 to be done during non-peak hours. He said the applicant had also revised their affordable housing proposal to address a concern of the Planning Commission in regard to providing all affordable housing units within the development. He noted this was the first Small Area Plan as part of the Comprehensive Plan review and consistent with the Plan. Mr. Teague then described outreach and community meetings held during the process. He noted the applicant was willing to provide 40 stalls for district parking and addressed setbacks. The Council asked questions regarding site plan, square footage breakdown, and the 46 units of affordable housing. The Council also inquired where the transition would occur from four- to two-stories and confirmed which parcels were included within the Small Area Plan. Mr. Teague outlined the boundary and confirmed that while the project included just one of the parcels, the applicant had requested the City extend the boundary to include both lots. The Council confirmed the proposal was entirely within the approved Small Area Plan study area adopted in March 2018. Max Moreland, Spack Consulting, answered questions of the Council regarding how parking would be affected by the reduced number of units, the use could be compared to a similar-sized use such as a drug store or drycleaner, and the proposed use included pass-by trips or trips that were already in the area. The Council commented on having one entrance and exit onto France Avenue rather than two, which would require the entrance to be accessible to both the public parking for retail and private for the apartments. The Council stressed the importance of safe access and balance between the Sunnyside residents and inquired whether affordable housing units were proposed as microunits. Mr. Moreland said the entrance on France Avenue would allow two access points from the west and could come straight in. Traffic going north on France Avenue would have an easier movement with the signal from Sunnyside to go north. He noted access on Sunnyside provided a safer option going north on France Avenue and this circulation would better fit the site. The Council inquired about height limits and transition to the neighborhood along France Avenue and asked whether the community came to those conclusions. Mr. Teague replied most of discussion was held on the two-stories adjacent to single-family homes and that it was reasonable due to the adjacent single-family zoning. He also commented on the give-to-get elements that included the pocket park, underground utility lines, and how more density and height was one way to get those public improvements. The Council asked if the island could be eliminated to change the character of the corner without impeding safety. Mr. Teague explained that was applicant's desire as well but unfortunately, trucks would not be able to make that turn. Applicant Presentation Ted Carlson, Orion Development, shared project timing and history and said they were very involved during the Small Area Plan development to assure the project conformed with the Plan through height reduction of 62 to 48 feet, decreased units from 64 to 45, and building square footage by 26%. He said they worked with staff after Planning Commission feedback to identify three fully ADA accessible affordable units at 750 square feet. Those units are all one-bedroom and not microunits. Mr. Carlson shared the give-to-get elements that included removal of a blighted building and contamination, underground power lines and curb cuts, wider sidewalks, pedestrian/bike friendly elements, public park and art, public parking, affordable ADA units, new housing, and the site's highest and best use. He commented how the site was compliant for retail use for parking and would blend with other retail requirements such as a restaurant, acknowledging that would require a variance in the future. Mr. Orion shared their award of the second largest DEED grant which speaks to level of contamination in this site. Gretchen Camp, ESG Architects, reviewed changes to the project and site design updates that included public gathering space along Sunnyside as a buffer to the adjacent residential properties, programmed public pocket park as an amenity to the neighborhood with an art feature and permanent seating, landscape plan elements with an outdoor dog run, bench seating, decorative lighting, and planting beds. She said they worked to activate Sunnyside by relocating the primary residential lobby and shared the sustainable design strategies that would be incorporated into the project. Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 2, 2018 Burt Kaufman, ESG Architects, said this was a classic building design with base and modified building fa4ade, darker brick, and a large bay-type window. He outlined how the building steps created a row house character element and commented on the parking screening, enlarged windows, and increased balcony depths. The Council confirmed dedication of the public realm space was contained within the site and opacity of the parking ramp with enough lighting for security. Mr. Teague confirmed a sidewalk easement would be required for the France Avenue side and the applicant would maintain the Sunnyside sidewalks. Mr. Carlson stated should the project convert from apartments to condominiums, the City had the first right of refusal to purchase the affordable units. He pledged that should the affordable term expire, it would be renewed. The Council asked about the process for a variance for a future restaurant and requested that an amendment to the PUD would occur instead to ensure Council approval. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:53 p.m. Public Testimony Scott Smith 3913 Morningside Road, addressed the Council. Tom Gerahard, 4360 France Avenue, addressed the Council.

Member Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland Motion carried. The Council confirmed the applicant would maintain the park,shared concerns about the intersection at 4+1 Street and Sunnyside, closing curb cuts on France Avenue, and leverage that created a better design and addressed power poles. The Council commented on ingress and egress on France and Sunnyside to allow a right turn only onto Sunnyside. Mr. Carlson explained why having to access the site from France Avenue only would not best serve the property or its residents. The Council confirmed soil mitigation efforts and inquired about possible truck traffic regulation. Mr. Millner said truck traffic cannot be restricted on this public roadway. Mr. Teague stated a condition of approval included that all commercial deliveries be completed during nonpeak hours as well as limiting traffic onto France Avenue during construction. The Council inquired about the proposed 500 new trips per day, need to respect the parking ordinance, and not be under parked. The Council confirmed the project complied with the Small Area Plan and agreed with the need to confirm parking and the PUD amendment for any future restaurant. The Council stated the solution was district parl<ing as outlined in the Small Area Plan and cautioned against a future restaurant approval without sufficient parl<ing. The Council also requested options for the roadway porkchop to mal<e the area safer for pedestrians. Member Staunton introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2018-92 approving the Preliminary Rezoning from R-I, Single Dwelling Unit District and PCD-I, Planned Commercial District to PUD-15, Planned Unit Development District, and Preliminary Development Plan for 4500 France Avenue, 3905 & 3907 Sunnyside Road, Orion Investments, subject to the following conditions: I.

Member Brindle seconded the motion. The Council discussed concerns raised during public testimony regarding the importance of pedestrian safety and district parking and how this project would address those elements. The Council spoke about the possibility of a TIF district and suggested removing the porkchop and restricting truck turning movements. The Council expressed support for the modern building with its traditional elements, timeless materials, green building elements, and stressed the importance of not exceeding parking available to support a restaurant use as the site would redevelop at some point. The Council acknowledged that how the project fit the Small Area Plan was key, their preference was for four units of affordable housing rather than three and a buy-in, and requested assurance that all become part of the overall building.

ARDEN PARK 90% DESIGN REPORT AND AUTHORIZE MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT TO FINALIZE PLANS AND ADVERTISE FOR BID -APPROVED Councilmember Fischer stated he would recuse himself from this item due to his employer's active contracts with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Councilmember Stewart disclosed that he was an ex-officio member of the Policy Advisory Committee for the District. Parks and Recreation Director Kattreh reviewed the Arden Park 90% design report, public engagement process, and development goals, then highlighted changes from the 60% check-in that included a park shelter and budget update. She outlined next steps and schedule and asked the Council to authorize Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to finalize plans to bid the project after selection of either Option 4C or 7C for the shelter. Renae Clark, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, provided the 90% design report that included stormwater, trails and bridges, creek restoration and access, shelter, and playground details. She outlined stream improvement alternatives, design elements that followed the evolution of the District's planning and project implementation process, and outlined water quality benefits achieved through stormwater and filtration swales and bridge structures over swales. Ms. Clark highlighted habitat and biology stream restoration elements, creek restoration below West 54th Street through removal of the concrete slab that would result in no damage to the bridge. She shared new and upgraded trail information and changes made since the 60% design that included removal of 350 feet of the sidewalk to maximize useable green space in Page 9 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 2, 2018 the park. Ms. Clark commented on two oak trees that would need replacement due to possible stress from flooding and outlined that 57 ash trees would be removed for a total of 136 trees impacted. The Council asked questions regarding sediment flow, creek meander proposals with one rejected plan, and which portions of the walkway included pervious materials. Ms. Clark explained the proposals for dam removal without a remeander element were both rejected in favor of full stream restoration with the City. The Council commented about on the impact of Emerald Ash borer that would result in removal of more trees as part of this project and noted the neighborhood design review team's role. Ms. Kattreh said staff struggled with review of the two shelter design plans and the resulting sustainability efforts knowing four options provided the least in terms of daylighting. She shared the updated budget totaled $5,331,1 10 at the 90% design estimate and noted the $669,000 increased came mostly from design costs that were missed, not project costs. Ms. Katreh outlined next steps included Watershed Board of Managers approval of final design and to authorize bids with notice to proceed in December, construction to begin in January, and completion by November 2019. The Council commented on the proposed design plan that included branding, sustainability, long-term maintenance costs and the developed pattern to design shelters based on park character. The Council shared the concept of the shelter having two fronts on both the neighborhood side and creek side and how the neighborhood committee preferred Option 4C. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Stewart, to accept the Arden Park 90% Design Report, authorize Minnehaha Creel, Watershed District to Finalize Plans and Advertise for Bid, and select Option 4C as the preferred building design.
