Mr. Teague presented staff's rationale to support the YMCA request for the proposed zoning, and staffs conclusion that the use was appropriate and the City would benefit from an upgraded YMCA facility. Mr. Teague indicated the Planning Commission supported the requested rezoning. The Council asked questions of Mr. Teague about the application, depth and number of parking stalls, and zoning districts that would accommodate a health club. Proponent Presentation Anita Lancello Bydlon, YMCA Vice President of Property Management and New Development, introduced the development team and stated their appreciation for the valued feedback and input. She advised that the plan had been revised to meet all the conditions and the YMCA believed this plan would meet the needs of the consumer. Greg Fenton, BWBR Architects, displayed floor plans to describe the planned expansion plan, presented colored pictures of the subject site, and exterior building materials board. He answered questions of the Council and indicated the YMCA and design team had no issues with the recommended conditions of approval or rezoning from R-1 to POD-1. The Council indicated support of the consumer friendly building design and asked that the hand drawn exhibit be identified as "site plan" since it was referenced in the conditions of approval. Mr. Fenton described how the covered walkway had been redesigned to address Council's suggestions during Preliminary Plan consideration. Mr. Teague advised that staff would work with Metro Transit to relocate the York Avenue bus stop. Mr. Fenton addressed the points of emergency building access and that consumers would enter and exit from the main entrance. He stated there were no loading docks so deliveries were taken at the front and back doors and larger deliveries would be a scheduled event. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared to testify. Member Brindle made a motion,seconded by Member Housh,to close the public hearing.

Rollcall: Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN,BRUCE CARLSON/CENTENNIAL LAKES/WHOLE FOOD, 7401 FRANCE AVENUE — RESOLUTION NO. 2010-130 ADOPTED Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. Planning Director Presentation Mr.Teague presented the request of Bruce Carlson,on behalf of Whole Foods, for a Final Development Plan to tear down Storables and Thomasville Furniture and build a new Whole Foods grocery store at 7401 France Avenue. He presented exterior elevations and site plan, and advised that no variances were being requested. It was noted the issues raised had been resolved regarding the entrance on Parklawn Avenue, addition of a sidewalk along France Avenue to provide connectivity, and inclusion of four islands in the parking lot. Mr. Teague stated the parking and landscaping meets Code requirements and staff recommended approval of the Final Development Plan with the conditions outlined in the staff report. The Council discussed pedestrian access at the southeast corner of the building and questioned the need for a crosswalk at the parking lot exit. Public Works Director/City Engineer Houle explained there was a sidewalk on either side of the driveway but a crosswalk was not marked at this time. The Council indicated support for a striped crosswalk at that location to enhance pedestrian safety. Proponent Presentation Bruce Carlson, Project Director for Mid-America Real Estate, introduced himself and the design team and explained this space was remarketed and a lease signed with Whole Foods. He explained that a new building would be constructed for Whole Foods to assure its specific needs were met and advised that construction would start in March and open the new store in the spring of 2012. Kathy Anderson, Architectural Consortium, described the issues considered in the design of this site for Whole Foods. She stated it would be a wonderful addition that tied into the existing architecture with a strong front entry to transition to the patio area. Glass features were added to the France Avenue elevation as well as extensive landscaping to reflect the theme of Centennial Lakes. Page 3 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 21, 2010 The Council indicated that the west and south design was stunning but expressed concern with the massive brick appearance of the north and east elevations and stated a preference to incorporate enhancements and a better designed entrance. Ms. Anderson noted that extensive landscaping would screen the northern fagade. The east elevation would not accommodate clear glass windows due to the interior configuration but would incorporate a pedestrian boulevard as well as extensive landscaping. Mr. Carlson explained the design team tried to blend with existing architecture but would welcome glass advertising windows on the east elevation, if allowed by Code. Mr. Carlson stated their original plan included leasable shops on each side but was not warranted with current market conditions. However, that may be proposed in the future since the site was over parked. The Council concurred that Whole Foods was a desirable occupant and suggested the eastern elevation be redesigned to include more glass and accents to create inviting ornamentation. Ms. Anderson assured the Council this could be accomplished. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. Public Testimony Paul Rehkamp,903 Coventry Place,addressed the Council. Andrew Brown, 5512 Park Place,addressed the Council. Member Swenson made a motion,seconded by Member Brindle,to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. Dan Blackburn, Store Manager and Team Leader, advised there would be no incineration, a fully enclosed compactor would be used, and recyclables would be sent to Chicago. He stated Whole Foods would receive two semi truck deliveries per day, at most, before 6:30 a.m., and on occasion a trailer would be dropped for a short period of time, such as the Thanksgiving season. The other deliveries were by panel vans. Dan Park, Westwood Civil Engineer, explained how industry standards were used to design truck access to the loading dock. The Council asked questions of the design team regarding the project and placement of bicycle racks. Mr. Houle stated the Council could consider approval and direct staff to work with the proponent to enhance the eastern elevation. The Council concurred with that suggestion, noting Code would authorize staff to approve those changes. Mr. Carlson advised of their timeline and stated he was confident the design team and staff could address the Council's concerns with the eastern elevation through landscaping. Member Brindle introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2010-130, approving a Final Development Plan for Whole Foods at 7401 France Avenue,with the following findings: 1. The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Final Development Plan. 2. Westwood Professional Services conducted a traffic impact study, and concluded that the existing roadway system could support the proposed project. Approval of the Final Development Plan was subject to the following conditions: 1. Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the following plans,unless modified by the conditions below: • Site plan date stamped December 13,2010 • Grading plan date stamped October 29,2010 • Landscaping plan date stamped December 13,2010 • Building elevations date stamped October 29,2010 • Building materials board including colors as presented at the Planning Commission and City Council meetings. 2.

RESOLUTION NO. 2010-123 ADOPTED — 2011 OPERATING BUDGETS & 2011 TAX LEVY APPROVED Finance Director Wallin recommended adoption of the 2011 operating budgets and 2011 tax levy. It was noted the 2011 budget had been considered at eight meetings, a public hearing held at the December 7, 2010, Council meeting, and included a 1.15 percent total operating and debt levy increase. This would result in a tax increase of$18 per year, for the City's portion, for a median valued house. Mr. Wallin reviewed the cuts in services that would have resulted with a zero percent operating and debt levy increase. Member Housh introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2010-123 adopting the budget for the City of Edina for the year 2011, and establishing tax levy for year 2011, payable in 2011. Member Brindle seconded the motion. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. *COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BLOOMINGTON RENEWED Motion made by Member Housh and seconded by Member Bennett renewing the Community Health Services Agreement with Bloomington Public Health Division for$183,706 for calendar year 2011.

Motion carried on rollcall vote—five ayes. ORDINANCE NO. 2010-20 ADOPTED — CODE SECTION 185 SCHEDULE A AMENDED — CERTAIN FEES INCREASED Mr. Wallin advised that the City of Minneapolis had adopted its water rate as confirmed in the first reading. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to waive Second Reading adopting Ordinance No.2010-20,amending Code Section 185 Schedule A increasing certain fees. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 2010-17 ADOPTED — REGARDING NON-CONFORMING BUILDINGS AND USES AND ADDITIONS TO OR REPLACEMENT OF HOMES WITH A FIRST FLOOR ELEVATION OVER ONE FOOT ABOVE THE EXISTING HOME'S FIRST FLOOR ELEVATION Mr.Teague indicated the ordinance had been revised per Council direction at First Reading. The three circumstances to make a CUP request would be if there was a FEMA flood elevation issue, a ground water issue, or a building code issue. The house would be required to fit the character of the neighborhood with regard to height, mass, and scale. Staff recommended approval of second reading. Bob Obermeyer, Barr Engineering, stated he had worked with Edina for 35 years on storm water management, met with staff to review the proposed ordinance, and recommended language that covered engineering aspects. The Council asked questions of Mr. Obermeyer regarding the process, timeframe, and cost for soil borings and hydrology reports. Mr. Obermeyer advised that the proposed language required what was typical for home construction, the industry standard, to assure installation of proper footings and estimated the cost for soil borings and testing at $1,000 to $2,000. He explained how mottled soils would be analyzed to determine the ordinary high water mark, which could fluctuate during drought conditions and were currently four to five feet below mottled soils. Discussion ensued regarding whether language needed to be included in the ordinance, since it was standard practice, and reluctance was expressed about adding another layer of government regulation if it was not needed. Mr. Obermeyer stated it was his professional opinion that$1,000 to $2,000 would be well spent to obtain a professional determination prior to constructing so residents would not end up with a wet basement. Mr.Teague noted this would only be required if the resident wanted to raise the first floor elevation over one foot rather than a more costly process of digging down to obtain adequate basement ceiling height. The Council acknowledged this process started because of the City's inability to grant a variance. Mr. Teague stated that was correct and noted the current Code did not include specific language requiring proof that a ground water issue existed as part of a variance application. It was noted that if the Code did not require a professional analysis, the homeowner would be asked to rely on the builder to make that determination. The Council indicated the City had a governmental interest to assure the home was constructed in a proper manner, without creating an adverse situation or excessive height, and without creating a drainage issue. The Planning Commission was recognized for its creative solution to address residents' needs in making this recommendation. The Council considered a suggestion to revise the ordinance language to allow for eight-foot ceilings in walkout living space, and to allow analysis by a hydrologic engineer or historical data. The Council determined to support the State Building Code, which required a minimum of seven-foot ceiling height rather than mandating its own building code by creating a new minimum ceiling height. It also determined it would be a mistake to allow proof via historical data alone, noting the draft language required a professional underpinning that the City could cite as rationale to consider a CUP. Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 21, 2010 The Council discussed the area of notice, noting that a CUP (traditionally for more commercial uses) notices properties within 1,000 feet of the subject site while a variance required notification of properties within 200 feet of the subject site. It was felt that CUP considerations under this ordinance would not have neighborhood impact, only surrounding home impact, so a 200-foot notification would be sufficient. City Attorney Knutson expressed a reluctance to redraft an ordinance at a meeting and advised the State statute contained a minimum requirement for notice. Council consensus was reached to ask staff to determine a practical way to provide adequate notice for a residential CUP. Member Housh made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, to waive Second Reading adopting Ordinance No. 2010-17, amending the Zoning Ordinance concerning nonconforming buildings and uses and additions to or replacement of homes with a first floor elevation over one foot above the existing homes for first floor elevation. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 2010-18 ADOPTED — REGARDING ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURES OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ESTABLISHING A PUD DISTRICT Mr. Teague indicated the ordinance had been revised per Council direction at first reading and staff recommended adoption on second reading. The Council acknowledged the great work done by the Planning Commission in making this recommendation. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Housh, to waive Second Reading adopting Ordinance No. 2010-18, amending the Zoning Ordinance concerning administration and procedures and establishing a PUD District. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 2010-21 ADOPTED— CODE SECTION 1435 CONCERNING THE OPERATION OF ALL TERRAIN VEHICLES, MOTORCYCLES, AND SNOWMOBILES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AMENDED Director of Parks and Recreation Keprios presented the recommendation of the Park Board to approve Ordinance 2010-21 amending Ordinance section 1435.03, subdivision 2, to give the City Manager and Park Director authority to grant use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and snowmobiles on City-owned public property to groom ski trails or conduct maintenance tasks, but not to grant trail use for recreational purposes. The proposed ordinance would give the same authority to the School Superintendent and Building and Ground Maintenance Supervisor to grant use of the same equipment for the same purposes on school district-owned property. He reviewed the revised language as requested by Member Bennett that specifically identified the position title that would be authorized to grant permission. Mr. Keprios indicated that permission would be granted via a written permit stating the dates, times, and locations. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Housh,to grant First Reading and waive Second Reading adopting Ordinance No. 2010-21,amending the City Code concerning the operation of all terrain vehicles, motorcycles,and snowmobiles on public property with revised language as recommended by Member Bennett. Rollcall: Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. GRANDVIEW DISTRICT REPORT RECEIVED Michael Fisher, Planning Commission Chairman and Community Advisory Team (CAT) member, addressed the Council regarding the process used to create the Grandview District report and advised that a $100,000 Livable Communities Grant had been received from the Metropolitan Council Project Summary states that the grant should be used for "transportation, market, financial and community needs analysis, and redevelopment phasing and public participation plans. He stated the process used had been successful due to the great work of City staff, talent of the volunteer resident design professionals,contribution of CAT members, and leadership of Kevin Staunton and Michael Schroeder. Kevin Staunton, Planning Commissioner and CAT Leader, provided a detailed presentation of,the final Grandview District report and recognized those who had contributed to the process. He also presented seven Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 21,2010 principles to guide further planning and development efforts, a demonstration of what implementation of the principles might create, and recommendations for proceeding. The Council asked questions of staff about grant parameters. Mr. Teague advised the grant money was available for a period of two years and staff would receive the grant agreement draft in January, 2011. With respect to replication of the process, Mr. Staunton stated it would be largely dependent on the individuals who participated. Mr. Fischer concurred and stated the City should be careful about randomly using this process. He believed the key would be to find leadership ready to step up and undertake preparation prior to the process. The Council acknowledged and thanked the leadership of the CAT that incorporated those with diverse viewpoints to build consensus and deliver the seven principals and recommendations for proceeding a small area plan. Member Bennett made a motion, seconded by Member Swenson, 1. Accepting the Grandview District report; 2. Adopting the guiding principles in this report as the foundation for development of a small area plan for the Grandview District; 3. The process of developing a small area plan for the Grandview District be led by a community-based advisory team that includes members of the current CAT and Design Team chosen through an open process similar to that used to for the initial Community Advisory Team;and,4.The City retain ownership of all City-owned public property in the Grandview District at least while the planning process continues and potentially beyond depending upon the results of the small area planning process.
