CONTINUED FROM APRIL 17, 2012 — PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH LOT AREA AND LOT WIDTH VARIANCES, 6120 BROOKVIEW AVENUE, !MS CUSTOM HOMES—REFERRED TO STAFF TO DRAFT FINDINGS FOR DENIAL Planning Director Presentation Planning Director Teague presented the request of JMS Custom Homes to subdivide the property and create a new 50-foot lot north of the existing home. The request includes a subdivision for two lots, lot width variance from 75 feet to 50 feet for each lot, lot area variance from 9,000 square feet to 6,676 and 6,671 square feet, and a minor lot depth variance from 133.8 to 133.7 feet for Lot 2. Mr. Teague presented the required variance criteria and advised staff and the Planning Commission found the request does not meet variance criteria and recommended denial subject to findings as contained in the staff report and Planning Commission meeting minutes. Proponent Presentation Jeff Schoenwetter, representing JMS Custom Homes, stated JMS valued its relationship with the City and planned to continue its endeavors in Edina. He indicated this property was originally platted in the 1920s as two 50-foot lots and had water and sewer utilities for two lots, so it was anticipated each 50-foot property would accommodate its own home, much like other 50-foot lots in this neighborhood. He indicated the immediate lots to the west and south were 50-foot home sites, as part of the Pamela Park neighborhood. Mr. Schoenwetter stated the JMS's rationale for considering that a "neighborhood" was larger than a single block. Mr. Schoenwetter suggested that for thoughtful development and reasonable investments, all 50-foot lots must be available for redevelopment and that most builders in his opinion were consistently honing skills to build exceptional homes on 50-foot lots without variance. Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 1, 2012 Mr. Schoenwetter presented slides and commented on how this plat was developed over the years, the area zoning mix that included residential, apartments, duplex, and commercial zoning within 100 feet to the south of the subject site. He noted the Fairfax plat had 85.7% 50-foot lots, exactly as proposed. He displayed the plat and described the location of 50-foot lots, slightly larger lots, commercial, park properties, noting there was only one historically extra-large lot representing less than one-half a percent of the total lots in the neighborhood. In addition, only 3% of the lots were over 100 feet in width. Mr. Schoenwetter then displayed video of Janey Westin stating the Westins combined their property with the lot next door to make a conforming lot, and a slide of the side yard noting it had similar setbacks to the home that was built. He then presented video of Council's debate of variance criteria and approval of a similar subdivision request to create two 50-foot lots and lot width and lot area variances. Mr. Schoenwetter presented letters and video comments by area neighbors and the Planning Commission Chair supporting the JMS application. He suggested the vision of the future was shared by many, and approval of the requested subdivision would assure a smaller home was built on this lot. The proposed house would have 1,140 square feet on the first floor with a price point under $600,000. Mr. Schoenwetter indicated the existing 2-story house had 1,400 square feet on first floor, 4 bedrooms, and was selling for$699,000. Mayor Hovland indicated the public hearing was continued from April 17, 2012, and invited additional public testimony at 8:22 p.m. Public Testimony Jackie Whitbeck, 6128 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council. Dick Whitbeck, 6128 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council Mickie Turk, 6141 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council. Janey Westin, 6136 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council Carol Carmichiel, 6112 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council Jerrod Lindquist, 5945 Concord Avenue,addressed the Council Danny Uhrhammer, 6101 Oaklawn Avenue,addressed the Council. Member Swenson made a motion,seconded by Member Brindle,to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. The Council addressed issues raised during public testimony and questions asked of Messrs. Teague and Knutson relating to the original platting of this area. Mr. Teague explained the original two 50-foot lots were combined and the original house was constructed in the middle of the 100-foot lot. When that property was listed for sale, a similar subdivision request for two 50-foot lots was under consideration by the Planning Commission; however, the application was withdrawn prior to action and, at that point, the property was sold to JMS. For the current house, a survey had been submitted and was approved based on that survey information. Construction began and a complaint was registered that the setback had not been met. Staff investigated, discovered the setback was off eight to fine feet and issued a stop work order. JMS was told it could meet the required setback or apply for a front yard variance. JMS applied for a variance through the Zoning Board of Appeals, which was denied. JMS then successfully sued the City so the current house existed as a legal non-conforming house. Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 1, 2012 The Council discussed the zoning regulation at the time the area was platted and change instituted in 1951 increasing the minimum lot width to 75 feet. Mr. Teague stated two plated lots combined into a single lot cannot then be re-subdivided if it resulted in the creation of a subminimum lot without a variance. In neighborhoods where lots exceed 9,000 square feet in size, 75 feet in width, or 130 feet in depth, the median lot size was established based on lots within 500 feet of the subject site. The Council noted code guided the formation of larger than minimum sized lots but does not contemplate the creation of subminimum lots. The Council expounded on its finding that the requested subdivision would not satisfy required variance standards: there were no circumstances unique to the property that called for variance consideration, it was a self-created hardship, and reasonable use existed since the property already contained a house. In addition, the Council took exception to the proponent's claim that the subject lot was surrounded by 50- foot lots, noting the adjoining lots to the north, south, and across the street were as large as or larger than the subject 100-foot lot. Thus, the creation of two 50-foot lots would be out of character with the neighborhood. Member Bennett made a motion,seconded by Member Sprague, referring the request of JMS Custom Homes for preliminary plat with lot area and lot width variances at 6120 Brookview Avenue to staff to draft findings for denial for consideration at the May 15,2012,Council meeting. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VI.C. LEVYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH NUISANCE ABATEMENT NO. 18165 — RESOLUTION NO.2012-70 ADOPTED Community Health Administrator Engelman recommended levying Abatement No. 18165 in the amount of $9,893.66 to abate a public nuisance condition. She reported the resident moved back into the property the end of November 2011. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 9:11 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared to comment. Member Sprague made a motion,seconded by Member Brindle,to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Member Swenson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2012-70; levying special assessments for garbage and debris removal improvements, and directing Bloomington Health Care follow up with the resident in question. Member Sprague seconded the motion. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VII. COMMUNITY COMMENT No one appeared to comment. VIII. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS In consideration of those in attendance, Member Swenson made a motion,seconded by Member Brindle, amending the agenda to consider Item VIII.C., Hornets' Nest Proposal, prior to Item VIII.A., Ordinance No.2012-10 Amending Section 900 Discount Pricing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.C. HORNET'S NEST PROPOSAL—SUPPORTED IN CONCEPT Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 1, 2012 Manager Neal introduced the item and stated the intention was that the City Council discuss the Hornet's Nest proposal and make a determination. If endorsed for advancement, additional regulatory steps would be required including Planning Commission review and noticed public hearing. Ellen Jones, 5261 Lochloy Drive, Park Board Vice Chair and Working Group Chair, reported on the Park Board's rational to recommend supporting the Hornet's Nest proposal. Eric Anderson, 6501 Indian Hills Road, representing Drive for the Hive, a nonprofit organization, thanked the Park Board and staff for its assistance with this project. He advised of the need to address and update Braemar West Arena hockey and figure skating facilities and presented the Hornet's Nest proposal for a two-story, 26,450 square-foot addition estimated at $3.2 million. Mr. Anderson presented a financial summary, indicating Drive for the Hive would solicit 25%of the project cost through private donations, and request financing of$2.2 million with the debt amortized over a 20-year period. This would result in 25% equity and 75% debt to be financed. He then presented projected revenue and cash flow that would be used to pay operating expenses and retire the debt, noting there would be a slight negative cash flow in early years but Braemar Arena staff believed the training facility would produce additional revenue in addition to dues charged to the Edina Hockey Association and Braemar City of Lakes Figure Skating Club that would create a positive cash flow. The Council asked questions of Mr. Anderson relating to the location of similar facilities and conditional recommendation of the Park Board. Mr. Anderson stated he had no concerns over the recommended conditions and advised that Drive for the Hive currently had private pledge commitments for$275,000 of the $740,000 to be raised. In addition, Rich Meyer a 20-year professional fundraiser had volunteered to help guide fund raising efforts. Mr. Anderson explained that value engineering of the project resulted in reducing the size of the structure and lowered the project cost by $1 million. It was the intention that the capital reserve would be used for future repairs and maintenance. The Council continued its discussion of the proposed project, how ice time would be scheduled and _indicated there was a need to develop a priority use policy for this facility. It was noted if the use of the Braemar City of Lakes Figure Skating Club declined and the$20 per player per year surcharge was not paid, it would represent a small portion ($4,000/year) of the excess cash flow being generated. Mr. Neal explained that if the Council supported moving this proposal forward, it would be subject to the same regulatory processes as other land use considerations. Park Director Keprios presented additional proposed improvements to update and revitalize Braemar Arena should the Hornet's Nest project go forward: to relocate the West Arena Zamboni Room estimated at $255,045 to resolve safety hazards; additional lower level lobby space estimated at $42,000; create player/coach/staff accessible path estimated at $161,000; and create standing room only area at $23,300; totaling $481,345. Mr. Keprios provided a budget summary and cash flow balance summary, with and without improvements. He then presented the recommendation of the Park Board to move forward with the Hornet's Nest proposal subject to conditions detailed in the staff report. It was noted that if approved by the City Council, the proposal to rezone the park property for retail and dry-land training (Public Leasing) and signage would be considered by the Planning Commission on May 23, 2012; the dry-land training vendor would not be open to the public during High School hockey games (no need for transportation or parking study); and rezoning and the project public hearing could be scheduled as early as the June 5, 2012, Council meeting. Mr. Keprios indicated issues remaining to be resolved are the type of agreement with Drive for the Hive and City of Edina and whether Drive for the Hive could act as construction manager for no fee. He extended his appreciation to all who had participated in this consideration. The Council referenced the City's policy relating to recognition of contributions, and reluctance was expressed to consider naming this facility for a donor since it was a City-owned property. The Council Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 1, 2012 considered the responsibility for the ingress/egress of the Zamboni room and ADA pathway. Since the Hornet's Nest proposal necessitated a longer extension of the ADA pathway, it was suggested that cost should be prorated. Mr. Anderson indicated Drive for the Hive would be willing to work through those issues. The Council noted the proposed lease term was ten years while the bond term was 20 years. Mr. Anderson explained that 20-year leases were not commonplace in the market for this type of use. The Council noted the retail component at Braemar was operated by the City and it did not have a policy for privatization on public land. Mr. Anderson stated he had researched the principle behind allowing a commercial entity on public land and encouraged the Council to consider the National Parks Service policy that allowed private enterprise on public land, striking the correct balance between privatization and preservation while providing a better experience for its visitors. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle,approving Hornets'Nest concept subject to: 1. The project must receive all required municipal land use regulatory approvals from the City 2. Drive for the Hive organization entering into memorandum of understanding approved by the City Council that formally established respective roles and responsibilities of both parties to accomplish this project 3. Vendors, School District, and pertinent sports organizations must enter into agreements acceptable to the City relative to lease or use of the facility,or portions thereof 4. Drive for the Hive must raise$739,314.83 in private donations S. Vendors for the dry-land training facility and the sporting goods retail store must commit to a minimum ten-year lease 6. The Edina School Board of Education must agree to an additional ice rental surcharge and restructuring to the spectator fee distribution for High School hockey games at Braemar Arena to help cover locker room operating expenses 7. The Edina Hockey Association must agree to a$20 per player per year surcharge for a 20-year period (the life of the bonds) 8. The Braemar City of Lakes Figure Skating Club must agree to a $20 per player per year surcharge for a 20-year period(the life of the bonds) Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.A. ORDINANCE NO.2012-10—ADOPTED—AMENDING SECTION 900.12(7)DISCOUNT PRICING Chemical Health Coordinator Iverson presented the research and findings of the Edina Health Partners Coalition and noted the greatest concern was that any discount pricing be sensitive to not promote increased alcohol use and to support responsible alcohol use. The Council discussed the ordinance amendment and asked questions of staff. Mr. Neal indicated this process started at the request of the Restaurant Association, and the proposed ordinance amendment was drafted by staff based on Ms. Iverson's research. It was noted the amendment would regulate practices of selling and serving alcoholic drinks but would not regulate the price, which was difficult to regulate successfully. Member Swenson made a motion to grant First and waive Second Reading adopting Ordinance No. 2012-10, amending the Edina City Code concerning liquor. Member Sprague seconded the motion. The Council continued its discussion of the amendment and indicated support to consider the food to alcohol percentage requirement at a future meeting. Rollcall: Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.B. PRIORITY USE OF THE EDINA AQUATIC CENTER FACILITIES POLICY AND RELATIONSHIP DOCUMENT—APPROVED Page 8 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 1, 2012 Mr. Keprios presented staffs recommendation to adopt the proposed Priority Use of the Edina Aquatic Center Facility Policy and Relationship Document that reflected a 75% residency requirement for the Edina Swim Club and granting it first priority access. In addition, the Edina Swim Club must maintain its status as a nonprofit corporation in accordance with Minnesota law, and may not discriminate based on ability; however, may make team assignments based on demonstrated ability to swim 25 yards in both the freestyle and backstroke. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Sprague, approving priority use of the Edina Aquatic Center Facilities Policy and Relationship Document, with corrections to grammar and capitalization. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.D. RESOLUTION NO.2012-73 ADOPTED—SOUTHWEST TWIN CITIES YELLOW RIBBON COALITION Member Brindle stated this matter was brought to her attention by Scott McDonald, Rotary Club President.

Member Brindle introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2012-73, proposal to participate in the proposed Southwest Twin Cities Yellow Ribbon Program Coalition. Member Bennett seconded the motion. The Council discussed the Program and addressed the concern expressed relating to the level of City resources that would be committed. Mr. Neal explained that if approved, it would pledge the City's support for staff to meet with the gther five cities forming the Southwest Twin Cities Yellow Ribbon Coalition to coordinate a support network with the private sector, identify volunteers and resources. The intent was to identify a network of existing services and create awareness of those services to military families. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle,Sprague,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.E.
