Mr. Teague presented the proposed ordinance amendment to Section 850 creating a side yard setback

Page 3
Minutes/Edina City Council/April 19, 2011
The Council discussed the ordinance language, noting it also addressed building additions, and considered how
to craft language to specifically address the construction of only Colonial Style homes. Council members noted
that under existing zoning regulations, new Colonial Style homes have been built on Wooddale Avenue. It was
noted the Heritage Preservation Board had indicated it did not want to be charged with review of back yard
additions. Mr. Teague explained that a building addition on the back of the house would be eligible for this
exemption and that it would apply to remodeling projects and to properties designated as Edina Heritage
Landmarks anywhere in the City. The Council discussed the types of projects that would be eligible for the
exemption and how it would apply to remodel projects. Mr. Teague advised that the Legislature may approve
remedial legislation related to variance requests by the end of the week. If enacted, it would be effective
immediately.

SKETCH PLAN REVIEWED-SMALL AREA PLAN NOT REQUIRED-ED NOONAN,4528&4530 FRANCE AVENUE
Mr.Teague explained the Council was being asked to review the sketch plan, provide comment,and determine
whether a Small Area Plan was required prior to application for rezoning. He displayed the subject sites,
described allowable uses, and presented the proposal of Ed Noonan to tear down the existing building at 4530
France Avenue and build an addition above the existing garage at 4528 France Avenue that would match the
Page 5
Minutes/Edina City Council/April 19, 2011
existing building on that lot. Mr. Teague noted that the proposed redevelopment would require rezoning of
these two sites from Planned Commercial District (PCD-1 and PCD-4) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). It
was noted that setbacks would not be met with the existing zoning. Mr. Teague reviewed the Planning
Commission's deliberation and determination that, at a minimum, the sketch plan should be presented to the
neighborhood. The Commission found the proposed office use to be preferable to the existing or allowable
uses under the current zoning. However, the Commission felt the proposed front parking lot would not match
the character of the 44th Street and France Avenue area and suggested the proposed building be moved closer
to the street to create a more pedestrian friendly streetscape. Such a redesign would also provide an
opportunity to add a second level of parking over the existing garage and eliminate a curb cut.
Proponent Presentation
Ed Noonan, 84 Woodland Circle, displayed colored copies of the proposed building. Scott Newland, architect
representing the proponent, addressed the position of the proposed addition relative to the street. Mr.
Newland concurred that it would reinforce the streetscape to pull buildings forward; however, the existing
parking garage was not visible from France Avenue and was part of the parking calculations. He explained that
if the building was brought forward, the headlights from cars circulating the parking area would shine into the
homes adjacent to the building. In addition, a new foundation structure would be needed and traffic
circulation would not marry with circulation on the adjacent lot.
Mr. Noonan described the challenges in developing this property and explained the desire of a current tenant
to expand on the site. It was noted this parking area was not restricted from public use and that extensive
screening existed to the rear of the site. The Council discussed that while the current intent was for office use,
the property could also be used as commercial in the future which would result in a larger parking shortage.
The Council acknowledged that while it would be a preferable to move the building toward the curb, it was not
always possible given site constraints. The Council commented on the need for additional greenscape,
additional separation between vehicle and pedestrian movements, and a creative design to "soften" the
appearance of the front elevation. It suggested Mr. Noonen explore options to incorporate storm water
management such as a green roof,cisterns,or areas of pervious pavement. Member Bennett recalled the 2004
survey of Morningside residents by the Heritage Preservation Board, and that most respondents preferred no
change or minor change in the 44th and France business area. She stated her opinion that the proposed
redevelopment would be viewed as no more than minor change.
The Council indicated the next step would be to present the sketch plan to the neighborhood. Mr. Noonan
stated this was an active neighborhood and he looked forward to presenting the sketch plan and receiving
input. The Council commended Mr. Noonan for his work to improve areas of Edina. The consensus of the
Council was that a Small Area Plan would not be required for 4528 and 4530 France Avenue; rather, the
proponent should set up a neighborhood meeting.

seconded by Member Swenson approving a new 3.2 off-sale liquor license for Super America #4047, 5205
