REQUEST FOR PURCHASE: VEGETATED STORM WATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES PROGRAM SERVICES — APPROVED The Council spoke about its questions from the last Council meeting, thanked staff member Jessica Wilson for her help to learn more about best management practices for rain gardens on public land, and asked if there were enough funds for the Lake Harvey project. The Council noted staff assured consultants could develop the practices and purchase and install plant materials, asked questions regarding back-up plans for the future should this not go well, then noted funds could be shifted if needed but the work was necessary. The Council commented on the need for maintenance in this area, need for the rain garden, and suggested informational signs be installed to outline how rain gardens work. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Anderson, approving request for purchase, awarding the bid to the recommended low bidder, Vegetated Stormwater Best Management Practices Program Services, Minnesota Native Landscapes, not to exceed $17,000.00 annually. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. V.I. RESOLUTION 2019-41; SUPPORTING SEGMENT A OF THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIL REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN — ADOPTED The Council clarified the action would approve Edina's portion only and not a specific alignment in the City. The Council agreed there was still a need to plan for the Cahill area and confirmed the Park and Recreation Commission had reviewed this item and was in general support of the trail. Member Fischer introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-41 Supporting Segment A of the Canadian Pacific Rail Regional Trail Master Plan. Member Anderson seconded the motion. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. The Council commented about Resolution 2019-39 adopted earlier for sale of General Obligation Bonds and how the City's AAA bond rating helped secure the bond sale for street and other projects at a rate of only 1.95%. Mr. Neal noted the project cost was $12.7 million but because the rate was so low, the City only had to borrow $10,815,000. VI. SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS AND PRESENTATIONS W.A. 1-494 PROJECT UPDATE: AIRPORT TO HIGHWAY 169 — RECEIVED Andrew Lataya, Minnesota Department of Transportation, shared an update on the 1-494 project Airport to Highway I 69. He reviewed member city goals, the project overview, purpose and need and results of public engagement. Mr. Lataya referred to the fatal flaw screening that included mainline alternatives, I- 35W/I-404 interchange, and access reconfiguration then commented on the need for additional capacity, preservation corridor assets, and other goals. He reviewed the project purpose of improving safety, mobility, travel time, and to reduce crashes, noting the project timeline that would begin construction in Page 2 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21, 2019 2022/2023. Mr. Lataya said 7,000 members of the public commented on the project then outlined alternatives reviewed with the possible solution of eliminating ramps on the north side of 82nd Street, with full access ramps at Portland and eliminating Nicollet and 12th Avenue. The Council thanked Mr. Lataya for the great suggestions and spoke about how this would stop cut- through traffic then asked if autonomous vehicles technology was considered for the future. The Council also asked about the full turbine interchange as the best solution and best lane flexibility then noted the fixed guideway bus system was not really an option. Mr. Lataya said MnDOT intended to include future technology in all plans and shared this with the 494 Corridor Commission. The Council noted this was a top legislative priority, the flyover would bypass Richfield completely, MnPASS was the best option, and the Council favored the full turbine interchange. VI.B. 2019 NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK— PROCLAIMED Mayor Hovland read in full a proclamation for National Public Works Week 2019 that recognized Public Works staff for their hard work. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Fischer, approving the proclamation for National Public Works Week 2019. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. Public Works Director Olson accepted the Proclamation and shared comments about importance of infrastructure, growth, mobility, security, and healthy communities. He also commented on potential flooding in some areas of the City and where residents could access sand bags, if necessary, from Public Works then added staff was well prepared should any flooding occur. The Council indicated it was pleased with the work and agreed Public Works provided a great quality of life. A round of applause was offered by the audience. VI.C. PRESERVATION MONTH MAY 2019 AND 2019 EDINA HERITAGE AWARD — PROCLAIMED Mayor Hovland read in full a proclamation for Preservation Month and Edina Heritage Award 2019 that recognized Member Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, approving the proclamation for Preservation Month and Edina Heritage Award 2019 Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. Assistant City Planner Bodecker said they were awarding the 44th and France Small Area Plan the 2019 Edina Heritage Award. She reviewed determined eligible properties of Old Fellows Hall, commercial building and conventional, then identified member volunteers and spoke about how this area had the earliest commercial hubs. Small Area Planning Team Work Group Member Sheila Berube and Jimmy Bennett accepted the award then shared comments about how 44th and France was a special place with neighborhood nodes and the area was saved from developers who would piecemeal and control the change instead. They stated the Plan preserved what people liked and enhanced other aspects such as the creation of community gathering space. VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD — Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. VII.A. PRELIMINARY REZONING FROM PID, PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AT 7075-79 AMUNDSON AVENUE FOR MWF PROPERTIES — ORDINANCE NO. 2019-11 — GRANTED FIRST READING; RESOLUTION NO. 2019-37 — ADOPTED Community Development Director Teague shared the proposed plan for a 52-unit, 4-story building that was one-acre in size and a former dry cleaner. He said sketch plan review was done and a number of changes occurred that included dedication of I 7-foot trail easement, improved architecture, expansion of outdoor activity area, increased green space, provision of a direct connection to the regional trail, front Page 3 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21. 2019 patios/decks, reduced parking, and increased green space on east side. He shared renderings and landscaping plans that were in excess of City requirements, noting the applicant requested flexibility for height. Peter Worthington, MWF Properties, shared background on the project and differences from sketch plan that included reduced parking north of the bump out, shift of building to the east for more green space, integrated lawn with trail and more landscaping, stepped planters over the walls, activated building side with patios, trail connection landscaped, onsite management, community room, fitness center, green features such as LED lighting, and low flow fixtures. He shared the proposed floor plans that totaled 52 units and 4 stories and shared rents and income limits which would be 60% AMI for 40 years and include a wide mix of residents. Mr. Worthington stated if approved construction would begin April 2020 with lease-up June 2021. The Council confirmed the building was no smoking then commented about roof shape and drainage and thanked the applicant for responding to its comments. The Council asked about the need for street parking, why parking on the east side was not on pervious surfaces, the possibility of including historical elements that reflected the intention of the Small Area Plan nearby, then inquired about possible age restrictions. Mr. Worthington confirmed the suggested elements would be met but energy star building elements were not allowed by the financing. He stated the project would not depend on street parking to meet parking requirements based on his experience with other projects and due to contaminated soils, the surfaces cannot infiltrate so the project addressed PCE in other ways. Ed Tarhar, Wenck, confirmed the parking was adequate based on reviewed data for apartments and the number of units in the project. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:28 p.m. Public Testimony Lonnie Skrentner, 7510 Cahill Road #208B, addressed the Council. Floyd Grabiel, 7510 Cahill Road, addressed the Council. Hope Melton, 4825 Valley View Road, addressed the Council. Jimmy Bennett, 5332 Interlachen Boulevard and Planning Commissioner, addressed the Council. Ann Swenson, 602 I Concord Avenue and Edina Housing Foundation, addressed the Council. Member Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Staunton, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. The Council asked questions raised during public testimony about when the property could be acquired to provide a I7-foot easement and trail connection. Mr. Teague said once the Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Plan and Small Area Plan, the City had nine months to reconcile the zoning conflict which would be sometime in early 2020. He noted the ordinance would change for second reading as the City cannot rezone until the Metropolitan Council approved the change, so any action was contingent upon their approval. The Council spoke about the two trail configurations and the desire for the area to be as robust as possible and a gateway then asked about building staffing. The Council suggested more village architecture that included warmer tones and noted this was a success story because of the many elements that the Small Area Plan aspects, grass space, trail, affordable project, parking, and amenities. Mr. Worthington said he would share the proposed color board at the next meeting. Member Staunton made a motion, Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21, 2019 seconded by Member Brindle, to grant First Reading to Ordinance 2019-1 I, Amending the Zoning Ordinance to Establish the PUD- I 8, Planned Unit Development- I 8 Zoning District, and adopt Resolution No. 2019-37 approving Preliminary Rezoning from PID, Planned Industrial District to PUD- I 8, Planned Unit Development — 18, including Preliminary Development Plan for MWF Properties at 7057-79 Amundson Avenue, subject to the following conditions: I.

Rollcall: Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VII.B. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-38, SUBDIVISION WITH FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCES FOR 6625 MOHAWK TRAIL — ADOPTED AS AMENDED Mr. Teague said the applicants were proposing to subdivide the 5-acre property at 6625 Mohawk Trail into three lots. The existing home on the lot would remain and continue to gain access off Mohawk Trail. Two new lots would be created on the east half of the property and gain access off Dakota Trail. He said to accommodate the request, a subdivision and front yard setback variances from 73.5 feet to 30 feet for each lot were required. Within this neighborhood, the minimum lot size is established by the median width, depth, and area of all lots within 500 feet of the property. He stated the minimum lot sizes were met for this proposed subdivision then shared history of subdivisions in this area and stated the primary issue was practical difficulty, steep slopes, and varied setbacks. He spoke about the tree and slope preservation easement and said recommend approval subject to conditions. The Council asked if lots created would make more than 25% disturbance of steep slopes and with this layout, was there any basis to deny the subdivision. The Council asked about delaying the vote for variances until the actual plan was received and inquired about the retaining wall along Dakota Trail and how to preserve the wall and still have a cut for two driveways. Mr. Teague said review would be included Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21. 20I 9 in the final plat but was also part of a building permit application for grading plans to ensure no negative impact on drainage. The Council asked questions about storm water management and the importance of the Watershed to capture water on the property along with slope impacts. They spoke about building pad configuration and variances and asked about the difference in percentage of steep slopes disturbed and number of trees not replaced depending on the variance. Mr. Teague said the applicant would be required to meet the tree ordinance and any Watershed requirements and that the difference in steep slope disturbance may be slightly less. The Council referred to the Planning Commission's conditions on tree and slope preservation easement and impacts. Mr. Teague said a no disturbance area document would be filed against the property and require Council approval for any amendment to the easement. He outlined options for the 60-day review and said should the Council wish to defer variance consideration to a later date that included the applicant withdrawing their reque'st to allow for future consideration. Michelle McQuarie, applicant, said they had lived in Edina for 45 years and had many approach them about developing this property into five lots but wanted to be responsible, respectful, and reasonable and selected to subdivide into only three lots to retain the character of the neighborhood. Paul Moe, Faegre Bakers and Daniels, attorney for the applicants, recommended the project and said neighbors who were concerned about maintaining wooded lots would still have large lots but property owners had an expectation to develop their land within City guidelines. He said the proposed setback came from the City, preserved more of the trees, resulted in less disruption, and noted there would be many more steps to this process that included a building permit. He indicated the applicants were comfortable with the proposed conditions. Jim Seabold, Coldwell Banker Burnett/Bold Marketing, said these are the largest land parcels in Indian Hills and, preservation agreement would protect more than 60% of the trees, and was the least invasive development with just two 1-acre lots that would sell for approximately $500,000 each. The Council asked questions regarding comparing a code compliant plan and variance plan and differences in disturbances in steep slope and tree removal. Mr. Seabold said the compliant plan was 25% disturbed while the most recent was under 24% disturbed. He explained how the number of trees removed was close to same number and noted the retaining wall only went to one section. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 9:26 p.m. Public Testimony Michael Carey, 6625 Dakota Trail, and Kathy Nelson, 6621 Dakota Trail, addressed the Council. Greg Sole, attorney 220 South 6th Street, Jay and Betsy Cutcliffe, 6617 Mohawk Trail, addressed the Council. Member Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. The Council responded to questions raised during public testimony regarding addressing tree and slope preservation prior to final plat and asked about flexibility to approve or deny the request. Mr. Knutson advised that during preliminary plat it was typical to request more detail prior to final plat and if the application met the ordinance requirements, the Council was required to approve the project which it did without the variance request. Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21, 2019 The Council asked about the 77% area of deep woods, analysis of trees, the need for more review of character and symmetry of the neighborhood and potential water issues. Mr. Teague said a tree survey was conducted on the site that showed a wide variety of trees with a majority 45 feet from Dakota Trail with some at 35 feet. He noted essential neighborhood character was more in regard to the front yard setback and while not the closest, this site would be closer along Dakota Trail. He said grading and water drainage plans would be reviewed at final plat as well as at building permit review and the Comprehensive Plan set the general guidance for the zoning ordinance, which was LDR and compliant for the site. The Council asked about past history where a plat was denied based on items other than lot size or steep slope and suggested a two-lot plat instead of three to disturb as little of the slope as possible. Mr. Teague said only one plat was denied for a property to the south with more than 18% grade was disturbed. Mr. Knutson confirmed the basis for the zoning ordinance and subdivision code and said the setback would be 73.5 for each lot then noted if the applicants met the requirements, the City could not require them to change their application. The Council asked about consequences of one-degree difference on slope impact with and without variances and confirmed that during construction, trees removed outside the pad and buffer would be replaced. Mr. Teague explained the difference was not significant and the biggest impact was Lot 3 in some open areas as the percentage difference was less there. The Council indicated it did not want to change the character of Indian Hills but recognized property owners' rights and that the applicant met the ordinance. The Council noted trees were lost for every building pad along this street and the difference was this property owner waited to develop instead of subdividing when the rest of the neighborhood did, and the property owner had a right to do so within the code requirements. The Council indicated the applicant had ensured they would maintain the forest- element as best as possible but the request for a variance was not necessary at this time as setbacks could be managed. The Council asked the applicants to consider building pads in another location, if possible, as with deeper lots water could be managed better. Ms. McQuarie stated she would withdraw her request for the variance at this time. The Council suggested not more than 25% steep slope disturbed no matter what final plat was presented. Member Staunton introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-38 approving a preliminary plat as revised without front yard setback variances at 6625 Mohawk Trail subject to adoption of revised resolution at the June 4, 2019, Council meeting. Member Brindle seconded the motion. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VIII. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS VIII.A. ORDINANCE NO. 2019-06; RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING LICENSING PROGRAM — ADOPTED Community Health Administrator Brown reviewed the work plan item from 2018-2019 to create a residential rental licensing and inspection program. He outlined the purpose was to protect the health, safety and welfare of tenants and shift response from reactive to proactive enforcement and create crime- free rental housing provisions. He reviewed the program cost, revenue source, and annual cost of $310,000 then reviewed neighboring cities who had such an ordinance and outlined who would be licensed that included all single-family homes, apartments, and condos but not short-term rentals as they were not allowed by the zoning code. Mr. Brown outlined a proposed inspection schedule and said if approved, the program would begin in November. The Council asked if the number of housing complaints per year were primarily rental housing. Mr. Brown said their current system did not differentiate between owner-occupied and rental but estimated that 20% of complaints occurred in rental property. Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21. 2019 The Council asked questions about start-up expenses and the difficultly to gauge if the program was truly needed as single-family homes would be difficult to identify in the beginning. The Council noted this added a layer of cost that made housing less affordable and rental housing concerns would be shared by neighbors instead. Mr. Brown spoke on how this program would help welcome new rental residents and provide a connection for information and where to go with concerns. Mr. Neal shared how Eden Prairie's program began in 2006 after significant large-scale apartment fires and housing stock deterioration and explained how Edina would benefit from this program as it was not a new type of program, noting that outside of Minnetonka, all neighboring cities had a similar program. The Council inquired about the 1,600 new apartment units and corresponding data on the increase in the number of complaints. Mr. Brown said while they had no solid data, the more residents the City had the more maintenance issues would result and that such a program would help administer enforcement of the same code and process but provide a wider net and tool to do so. The Council expressed concerns about affordable housing enforcement and if a partial effort would be possible instead. Affordable Housing Manager Hawkinson said the current vacancy rate for affordable units was zero percent and explained how many renters would not submit housing complaints for fear of losing their homes. She stated there was no mechanism without a licensing process and a partial program would not be effective. The Council spoke about private buildings being safer already because of inspections and shared concerns about entering people's homes. Fire Chief Schmitz said Eden Prairie had a similar program when he worked there and recommended this program as it provided many benefits that included ongoing inspections, which were different than a certificate of occupancy inspection because once built, inspections did not occur, the fire department could only enter when asked, and potential fire violations affected many people in a building such as an apartment. He explained situations such as fire load, hoarders, smoking, and grills on decks and suggested starting with multi-family residential then work towards single family to ensure proper exiting, smoke alarms, etc. The Council spoke about keeping people safe where they live and how Edina was an aging community with more rentals than ever and discussed the possibility of a point of sale program in the future. Mr. Neal referred to program benefits that would be between active and passive enforcement and how this would address people who may be concerned about landlords. Mr. Brown confirmed inspections would be scheduled with property owners and managed in other ways, if needed. Member Staunton made a motion to grant First Reading to Ordinance 2019-06, amending Chapter 10 of the Edina City Code Concerning Rental Licensing. Member Brindle seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.B. ORDINANCE NO. 20 19-10; EFFICIENCT BUILDING BENCHMARKING — ADOPTED Carolyn Jackson, Energy Environment Commission, spoke about the City's goal of 30% reduction of greenhouse gases by 2025 and 80% by 2050 and how adoption of this ordinance would place the City in a leadership role as the second city in Minnesota to provide benchmark goals. She outlined why this ordinance was important to Edina to reduce greenhouse gases through energy, travel and waste, how education and outreach would be conducted, and how the ordinance would embolden managers to make the required investments to help save money as cities had seen 1-2% annual reduction in energy use with benchmarking, Sustainability Manager Brown spoke about how this ordinance would support building stock in Edina, how 29 other cities implemented benchmarking across the country, how staff met with BOMA, and policies implemented across Minnesota cities. Staff suggested starting with buildings over 25,000 square feet for the most impact at this time. Ms. Brown presented the policy summary that included benchmarking, Page 8 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 21, 2019 transparency, and energy-savings assessments. She stated building owners would not be asked to provide energy bills for review but would be automatically downloaded and aggregated to make it easier for the utility companies. The Council thanked the group for its great work and thanked Michelle Swanson from Xcel Energy for its commitment of clean energy by 2050. The Council spoke about concerns raised by businesses and how difficult it would be to do a similar program with the water utility. Ms. Jackson noted manufacturers or production-type businesses would not be included at this time and their hope to include water utility data as well in the future. Member Staunton made a motion to grant First Reading to Ordinance 2019-10, Amending Chapter 20 of the Edina City Code Concerning Large Building Benchmarking. Member Brindle seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.C. RESOLUTION 2019-42 — ACCEPTING VARIOUS GRANTS AND DONATIONS — ADOPTED Mayor Hovland explained that in order to comply with State Statutes; all donations to the City must be adopted by Resolution and approved by four favorable votes of the Council accepting the donations.
