PRD-4 FOR 4101WEST 50TH STREET. 5014. 5016 AND 5024 HALIFAX AVENUE Presentation bv Planner Planner Larsen recalled that the request for preliminary rezoning from Planned Commercial District, PCD-4 and Single Dwelling Unit District, R-1 to Planned Residence District, PRD-4 for 4101 West 50th street, 5014, 5016 and 5024 Halifax Avenue was considered by the Council on April 18, 1994, and continued to May 16, 1994, to allow the proponent to present a revised plan for Council consideration. The revised plan illustrates a three story 24 unit building, compared to the earlier 26 unit building. length has been reduced by 25 feet to a new length of 210 feet. now 29.9%, slightly below the allowable 30% coverage. under building parking spaces and 16 surface spaces and the parking conforms with ordinance requirements. requirements and to the 50th and France Redevelopment Plan. Building width remains the same, but overall building Lot coverage is The plan illustrates 36 The proposed density conforms to zoning ordinance The proposal continues to request a setback variance from Halifax Avenue. The proposed setback varies from 21 feet at the northeasterly corner to 35 feet at the southeasterly corner of the building. The proposed building height is 36 feet, thus a 36 foot setback is required by ordinance. All other building and parking setbacks comply with ordinance standards. The building would have an all brick and stucco exterior with a shingle mansard roof line. The mansard treatment does increase building height, but also adds a residential look and serves to screen mechanical equipment on the roof. revised building plan reduces building height by three feet, to 36 feet. the southerly property line the parking setback has been increased from 10 to 30 feet allowing the area to be heavily landscaped. model of the proposed development illustrating the spacial relationship to neighborhood buildings.

On April 18, 1994, the proponent presented a revised plan which reduced the building length from 260 feet to 235 feet, reduced the number of units from 28 to 26 and reduced the lot coverage from 35.7% to 31.9%. was reworked and the surface parking was moved to the south allowing the building to be more centered on the site. on West 50th Street. a good transition and that generally the Council was encouraged by the changes that had been made. as to how the building would be sited in comparison to other buildings and the buffer transition in terms of spacial relationships. He recalled that the proposal was first heard by the At that meeting the Council had raised several The facade of the building I The revised plan also eliminated the curb cut The Council had commented that it was a good land use, was The Council did indicate that they wanted to see more detail Mr. Eichorn-Hicks said that the following changes have been proposed: 1) building length reduced to 210 feet, 2) building height 1owered.to 36 feet, 3) green space on the south increased to 35 feet, and 4) units reduced in number to 24. He said the proponent had met with the residents of the neighborhood the past Wednesday and their response was good. favorably the revised plan for the development, including the requested 15 foot setback variance. He concluded by asking the Council to consider Public Comment Penny Van Kampen, 5117 Halifax Avenue, said she still had a concern about the exterior materials for the building and the landscaping. Robeta Costellano, 4854 France Avenue, asked where the building height was measured from because of the grade changes on the site. Andy Costellano, 5108 Gorgas Avenue, commented that good progress has been made , by moving the parking lot back and reducing the building height, building is only set back 15 feet from Halifax Avenue, he questioned the marketability of the units. Because the Council Comment/Action Mayor Richards noted that approval of preliminary rezoning is recommended subject to:, 1) final rezoning, 2) replatting, 3) amendment of Comprehensive Plan, 4) amendment of 50th and France Plan, 5) vacation of alley, and 6) watershed district grading permit. address specifics of exterior materials, landscaping, etc. be made a condition for final plat approval. He suggested that a development contract that would Member Rice commented that the plan as revised conforms to ordinance requirements for lot coverage and density. development contract be a condition for final plat approval for this landmark property. He said he had some concern about the closeness of the building to West 50th Street because of the sight lines concerning traffic safety and asked staff to look at that issue. He said he agreed with the suggestion that a Member Rice made a motion to approve preliminary rezoning and to adopt the following ordinance, subject to: 1) final rezoning, 2) replatting, 3) amendment of Comprehensive Plan, 4) amendment of 50th and France Plan, 5) vacation of the alley, 6) watershed district grading permit, and 7) development contract as condition for final plat approval: ORDINANCE NO. 850-A4 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE (NO. 850) 5/16/94 242 BY REZONING PROPERTY TO PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT, PRD-4 FROM PUNNED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, PCD-4 AND FROM SINGLE DWELLING UNIT DISTRICT, R-1 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINB, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: amended by adding the following thereto: Section 1.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PRELIMINARY REZONING AND PRELIXINARY PLAT FOR PARKWOOD KNO- 24TH ADDITION CONTRimED TO JULY 18. 1994 Affidavits of Notice were presented, 5/16/94 243 approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation bv Planner Planner Larsen presented the request for preliminary rezoning and preliminary plat approval for Parkwood Knolls 24th Addition generally located north of Parkwood Road, west of Green Farms Road and east of Malibu Drive. He told Council the subject property (Hansen property) comprises the 53 acres of undeveloped land in greater Parkwood Knolls. the Hansens provided an overall preliminary plat for all remaining vacant property. The 1978 plan illustrated 91 single dwelling lots remaining in the tract. Development since that time has been consistent with the approved preliminary plat. In 1978, at the request of the City The preliminary plat was approved by the Council in September 1978. In 1991, the Minnesota Legislature passed the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) to protect and preserve untouched the state's wetland areas. preliminary plat under consideration is in response to the WCA. As shown in the grading plan, several small wetland areas are proposed to be filled. Under the provisions of the WCA the responsible local governmental unit must approve a wetland alteration plan for the development. The revised The development proposal has three principal components. First, is revision to the overall development plan for the entire 53 acre tract. Second, is a rezoning along Interlachen Boulevard extended to allow for the proposed townhouses and the zero lot line single dwelling lots and amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. Third, is preliminary plat approval of Parkwood Knolls 24th Addition for the 22 lots in Phase 1. The proposed overall plan revision illustrates 73 single dwelling lots, 7 zero lot line single dwelling lots and 16 townhouse lots for a total of 96 units versus 91 units shown in the 1978 plan. The 73 single family lots range in size from 12,946 square feet to 24,816 square feet in lot area. The lots have a median width of 134 feet, median depth of 144 feet and median area of 18,486 square feet and are similar in size to the lots in the recent Parkwood Knolls 22nd Addition on Green Farms Road. The entire tract is currently zoned Single Dwelling Unit District, R-1. The development proposal would require a rezoning to Planned Residence District, PRD-2 to allow seven zero lot line lots and a 16 unit townhouse development along Interlachen Boulevard extended, proposed to be shifted to the south from Van Valkenburg Park to allow private frontage on both sides of the street. For PRD-2 zoning, the Zoning Ordinance requires that each individual unit have a minimum lot area of 7,200 square feet per unit. The proposed development (townhouses and zero lot line lots) have a lot area of 10,900 square feet per unit. The proponent has presented a 22 lot preliminary plat as Phase I of the development (Parkwood Knolls 24th Addition) which would occur on the westerly portion of the tract generally parallel with Malibu Drive. The proposed lots average 127 feet in width, 157 feet in depth and 19,675 feet in lot area. The lots would be served by a new street, Cougar Trail, connecting to Malibu Drive. Although above minimum standards, Lots 2 through 7, Block 1, are significantly smaller than other lots in the plat and are through lots, having frontage on both Malibu Drive and Cougar Trail. The proponent is requesting the following actions: 1) Approval of revised overall development plan for the entire tract of vacant land, 2) Preliminary rezoning, including amendment of the Comprehensive Plan, for the zero lot line lots and townhouses on Interlachen Boulevard frontage, and 3) Preliminary plat approval for Parkwood Knolls 24th Addition. 51 16 I94 244 The Planning Commission considered the development proposal at two meetings: March 30 and April 27, 1994. On April 27, 1994, the Commission took three separate actions. First, the Commission voted 6-4 in favor of recommending that Interlachen Boulevard be extended to Malibu Drive. Second, the Commission voted 8-2 in favor of recommending denial of the proposed rezoning to allow townhouses and zero lot line single dwelling lots. one abstention recommending denial of the proposed rezoning and subdivision request. Third, the Commission voted 10-0 with Presentation for Proponent Carl Hansen, Vice-president of Parkwood Knolls Construction, recalled that Parkwood Knolls 20th Addition was given preliminary approval in 1978, which included what is now Parkwood Knolls 23rd Addition and the proposed Parkwood Knolls 24th Addition. The overall development plan, based on the 1978 version, has been revised to accommodate 1994 concerns as follows: 1) Mitigation of wetlands. a wetland delineation study was done, certain revisions were made to meet the new regulations. 2) Buffer zone between the park and the residential area. Long time residents have indicated certain unmet housing needs such as zero lot line lots and the demand has been overwhelming. A later concern was the City's request for park access on the northeast corner of the subject parcel which has been provided by an alternate plan. He noted that the overall plan was developed after several meetings with various City departments and meets the City's comprehensive guidelines. New regulations direct that wetlands be preserved if possible. After Mr. Hansen stated that at the Planning Commission meetings a number of residents objected to the extension of Interlachen Boulevard to Malibu Drive because of increase in vehicular traffic and they wanted to cul-de-sac Interlachen Boulevard. people. Mr, Hansen emphasized that the extension has been a given in the design of the proposed development. As to complaints about grading and dirt storage on the property, he explained that any such activities have been in connection with development on the west side of Malibu Drive or as requested by the City for silt ponds and seeding. said that was not a reasonable argument because the proposed zero lot line homes and the townhomes would be priced from $300,000 to $500,000 and the single family homes are projected at $500,000 and up. This would increase traffic in other areas and would impact more Regarding concerns about devaluation of existing homes, he Concerning wetland mitigation studies, Mr. Hansen said they are up to date and waiting,.for preliminary approval of the development so that the process can continue. recommendations for revisions deemed necessary to gain approval. He urged the Council to grant preliminary approval or make Roger Anderson, Roger A. Anderson &Associates, told Council he was the engineer for the proposed development and would be involved with the sewer, water and grading aspects. expectations were with the approval of Parkwood Knolls 20th Addition in 1978. Those were brought forward to 1994 with some modifications, primarily because of the recent wetland legislation for preserving wetland areas. In the southern portion of the parcel some modifications were substantial in order to re-locate the building pads and streets away from the wetlands. standpoint, the extension of Interlachen Boulevard was a given as proposed in 1978, although now an issue raised by the neighbors. although there is no specific park development plan at this time the developer is willing to provide park access. Public Comment Dale Renner, 6321 Interlachen Boulevard, told Council he was co-chair of the Interlachen/Parkwood Knolls Coalition whose objective was to voice their primary For this project he said they had a good idea of what the From the developer's Mr. Anderson said that I 5/16/94 . 245 concerns and issues regarding the proposed subdivision. the coalition would speak to their main issues of concern. He said other members of Issue #1 - Extension of Interlachen Boulevard west to Malibu Drive and making - it a collector street. Patrick Mantyh, 6413 Interlachen Boulevard, described the street as being 23-24 feet wide with sharp grades. would not be able to take the projected additional traffic if extended to Malibu Drive. street. He commented that the neighborhood is willing to accommodate a reasonable share of traffic from the new subdivision but does not want Interlachen Boulevard to become a collector street that would see a dramatic increase in traffic because it would connect to Highway 169. their main concerns are safety for the children, resident security, preserving the character and symmetry of the neighborhood, maintaining property values and neighborhood cohesiveness. widened and urged the Council to allow Interlachen Boulevard to remain in its present state. He said the road as it stands The street is used by 23 children in the area who use and play in the Mr. Mantyh said He noted that ultimately the street would have to be Edward Glickman, 5217 Schaefer Road, said he objected to the proposal because the road is too narrow, too weak, grades are too steep and there is not enough right of way. He referenced various transportation agency guidelines and related those standards to the existing roadway. If Interlachen Boulevard is put through in any fashion, as a low density or high density road, it will have to be widened and the grades stripped down. He estimated that it would cost the City a minimum of $320,000 to put the roadway through and cautioned the Council about turning Interlachen Boulevard into a dangerous collector road. Issue #2 - No plan for the neighborhood park has been fully developed. James Fee, 5204 Ridge Road, said he was speaking as an 11 year resident and a Park Board member but that his comments were his om because this issue has not been before the Park Board, He noted an amazing growth of children who are playing on Interlachen Boulevard and said the tendency seems to be that younger families are moving into the area. Mr. Fee said, although development of a neighborhood park would be a nice addition, the location of Interlachen Boulevard would be a major concern as it relates to child safety. softball fields in the park extending Interlachen Boulevard would create a reverse flow of traffic into the eastern part of Edina. He opined that because of the adult Issue #3 - The proposed housing - densitv threatens the fragile ecosystem and wetlands. Tom Seitz, 6320 Interlachen Boulevard, said the coalition recognizes that certain permits must be approved for the development and they would like to offer insight into the planning for the wetland areas. Per the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991, the definition of wetland has changed dramatically since 1978 and a determination must be made as to whether the current development plan complies. development cannot be determined until a comprehensive plan has been prepared. Mr. Seitz said that to their knowledge the following plans have not been submitted to the appropriate agencies for review and approval: (a) grading and drainage plan, (b) wetlands definition map, and (c) storm water holding plan. He added that it appears some wetlands will be eliminated and under the WCA there must be mitigation; it is unclear if that process has been completed. The impact of this activity and the development in general on the wildlife in the area will have a negative impact on the neighborhood. 1 The full extent of the environmental impact of the proposed In lieu of the presentation of Issue #4 concerning density and rezoning, Mr. Renner presented the coalition's recommendations on each of the four issues summarized as follows. Issue #1 - 1) Detailed plans of complete subdivision be prepared to ensure total long-term impact on neighborhood is specified and understood, 2) Table plat until review of Comprehensive Land Use Plan is 5/16/94 246 conducted to evaluate viability of turning Interlachen Boulevard into collector street, 3) Redesign roadways in development to access Malibu Drive, County Road 169 and routes other than Interlachen Boulevard. Issue #2 - 1) Incorporate involvement of neighborhood pertaining to park accessibility, suitability and demographic needs, 2) Avoid p.utting through traffic roads by park, 3) Maintain access to/from Van Valkenburg Park in current state, 4) Develop neighborhood park in timeframe consistent with rest of subdivision development. Issue #3 - 1) To ensure preservation of wetlands and compliance with WCA, all required plans for entire subdivision should be reviewed and approved by appropriate agencies before any development begins. Issue #4 - 1) No change in zoning granted on the basis that a clear and compelling reason for change has not been established, 2) New plan be prepared that is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, with the exception of Interlachen Boulevard being extended, requiring developments to be in keeping with topography and neighborhood characteristics. Lisa Fish, 5408 Larado Lane, said her main concern was the road system for the development. Although sympathetic with the residents on Interlachen Boulevard and their concern about its extension, she said to be fair they should bear some of the traffic burden from the development as her neighborhood already has a lot of through traffic from Green Farms Road. Bill Jardine, 5400 Malibu Drive, reminded Council that the Planning Commission had recommended that the proposed development be denied. He pointed out that by opening up Malibu Drive to Highway 169 it has increased traffic on Malibu Drive. He said there is an increase in burglaries whenever a neighborhood is opened up to a major highway. would show what the neighborhood would look like in the future. Robert Shober, 6805 Telemark Trail, said his neighbors are truly concerned with the proposed development. since the start of construction of the six houses up on Malibu Drive. They are concerned about the congestion that would greatly increase with the construction of these additional homes and also the impact on the environment. He agreed that there should be an overall detailed plan that I He said their lifestyle has been greatly altered Wayne Packard, 4909 Prescott Circle, said the real problem with extending Interlachen Boulevard is the existing grade, which is especially difficult to drive in winter. highest use for maximum revenue to the developer without greatly impacting the residents who are already living in the neighborhood. He commented that this parcel cannot be developed at the Janie Hayes, 5224 Larado Lane, said she shared the concerns about extending Interlachen Boulevard because of the safety factor for children and adults who walk and bike the roadway. She said what happens with this last undeveloped parcel will determine what will happen to existing homes in the area as many younger families are looking for new properties in less congested areas. urged that Interlachen Boulevard not be extended through. She Jeff Anderson, 6205 Parkwood Road, said he had no objection to development of this property and was also sensitive to the residents who live on Interlachen Boulevard as to how the traffic pattern would change if connected to Malibu Drive: Parkwood and this new development if Interlachen is not extended. He said there is no question that if Interlachen is not extended all that traffic will have to flow south on Parkwood Road or South Knoll Drive. He asked consideration for the existing neighborhood to the south. He pointed out that to the east there would only be two routes out of old Bill Hatch, 6405 Parkwood Road, asked the Council to consider serious the recommendation by the Planning Commission for denial which was based on the 5 I16 I94 , ,- 247 inappropriateness of: 1) the multi-family houses, 2) the zero lot line houses, and 3) the plan for Interlachen Boulevard. He added that he had heard nothing presented by the developer that would override the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial. Ken Durr, 4830 West Gate Road, Minnetonka, said he was a developer and builder and owns a dozen properties in Edina, five of which are vacant residential lots in Interlachen Heights which abuts the proposed development. He told Council that prior to purchasing these lots he had several concerns. First, the zoning and improved use of the subject parcel. was zoned single family and was shown the 1978 overall development plan that showed single family, no zero lot lines, no townhouses. Secondly, the future of Interlachen Boulevard - extended or cul-de-saced. If it were extended what would be the traffic volume and speed. with a sharp turn to the south which would control vehicular speed and discourage through traffic. Subsequently, he has shared this information with prospective homeowners. Mr. Durr offered that the proposed development has placed a hardship on him as well as the new homeowners for whom he has built. month ago a prospective client decided not to build in the area after the rezoning sign was posted for the subdivision. cul-de-sacing Interlachen Boulevard or if extended, to reconfigure the roadway SO that it would discourage outside through traffic but yet serve the neighborhood. In checking with the City he was told it He was told if extended it would be aligned He explained that a He urged the Council to consider Daniel Jurgens, 4906 Bruce Avenue, said he was the prospective homeowner referred to by Mr. Durr and had decided not to build in the area as soon as they found out that Interlachen Boulevard may be extended. would be just like on West 50th Street. He said if extended the traffic Dawn Kerrison, 6517 Willow Wood Road, commented that she lives just across from the subject property and told Council there are a lot of children in her area who play in the street because there are no sidewalks. having the top priority be that the existing neighborhood not be diminished by the proposed development. new home buyers who will know what they are getting when they buy. She saw as the only solution If someone has to make a concession, it should be the Jeri Lou Lukaska, 6645 Parkwood Road, said she is a realtor and works with upper income bracket people who are relocating. Her experience has been that people keep coming back to Edina because it has maintained its planned neighborhoods. She urged the Council to look to the future and preserve the large lots that are a part . .. of the Parkwood Knolls neighborhood. Floyd Kuehnis, 4916 Interlachen Court, said he endorsed what has been said by the Interlachen/Parkwood Knolls Coalition. Commission meeting when this matter was heard and found that the various motions made were very confusing. presented because the premises were unclear. He said he had attended the Planning He suggested that the votes not be interpreted as Bob Hollaway, 6644 Parkwood Road, said he also had concerns about the safety of the children but felt the impact of the added traffic from this development should be shared by all rather than a few. The Council should look at the homes, both on Interlachen and Parkwood, that will be impacted by the increased traffic. He said his understanding was since Interlachen Boulevard was built in the 1950's that it would eventually go through to Highway 169. James Ronning, 6416 Interlachen Boulevard, commented that we have not heard from a group of people because they do not exist - those who will eventually live in the proposed subdivision. of Interlachen Boulevard through their neighborhood. He said he felt they would be opposed to the extension 5/16/94 Jean Mooty, 5320 Kelsey Terrace, said that if Interlachen Boulevard is not 24% extended, much of the traffic from the new development will pass her home. asked the Council to not put all the traffic burden on the existing homes to the south. Catherine Peterson, 6513 Stauder Circle, said she shared the concerns of the homes to the south and told Council that traffic has increased tremendously since Malibu Drive was opened. too fast in making a decision. She I She urged the Council to listen carefully and not move Mattie Greif, 6629 Parkwood Road, suggested that if Interlachen Boulevard is extended it should follow a very circuitous route so that it does not become a straight shot through. Mary Seitz, 6320 Interlachen Boulevard, said everyone in the greater neighborhood has the same concerns and many have said all should.share the brunt of the traffic. She suggested that the developer also share in the burden and questioned if the area could handle the traffic from a development of that size. She suggested that the developer consider something less than 96 units. Bob Kaatz, 6505 Parkwood Road, told Council he had lived at his address for 25 years. this project were interesting. He pointed out that when he bought his home he paid one sixth of what it is worth now and that any one of the lots in the new area would experience the same. with the developer to urge for consistency in maintaining that quality of homes in Edina. He said the comments about property values and the developer's stake in He said the Council has a responsibility to work Response for Proponent Roger Anderson, Project Engineer, said the developer has indicated an effort to develop the subject parcel in a manner consistent with the existing general area and feels the proposal does that. He mentioned that the Planning Commission did not make any suggestions that could be incorporated into the plat to improve it except eliminating the extension of Interlachen Boulevard. He asked the Council for suggestions and direction for the proposed plat. Council Comment/Action Member Kelly observed that this is 53 acres of the most valuable vacant land in Edina and a decision should not be made quickly. right to develop the land, it should be done well and in a manner that would maintain the character of Edina. She offered the following: 1) need for an engineering study, at the expense of the developer, to determine if Interlachen Boulevard extended could support the increase in traffic, 2) environmental issues need to be addressed, 3) 1978 overall plan showed Interlachen Boulevard extended but design is important so that it does not become a through street to Highway 169, 4) not convinced that town houses should be a part of development or that the zero lot line lots should be in that location, 5) developer should meet with the neighborhood residents to address concerns. Member Kelly concluded that she was not willing to go forward on the proposal until these things are done. Although the proponent has a Member Rice acknowledged that, although many concerns have been expressed, the proponent has been one of the premier developers in Edina and has made a lot of Edina what it is today. As to asking for direction from the Council concerning the development, it is the responsibility of the developer to come up with a better overall plan than has been presented. Boulevard, Member Rice said the neighbors have suggested that it have a circuitous design and that all should share the burden of the increased traffic from this development. that has been presented is not workable. Concerning extension of Interlachen In conclusion, Member Rice said in his judgement the plan 5/16/94 -. . 249 Member Paulus that this is the largest parcel of land proposed for development since her years on the Planning Commission and the Council. neighborhood as also the concerns of the established neighborhoods in Edina - impact of increased traffic. will always be traffic in neighborhoods because of the ring of highways around Edina. Drivers will always attempt to cut through neighborhoods; the issue is how best to accommodate this traffic for the well being of everyone. Paulus said Interlachen Boulevard needs to be looked at carefully and that extending it to Highway 169 is not the answer. The second issue is going forward with the development without knowing the plans for the future park playground. She agreed that there needs to be a better relationship between the developer and the neighborhoods. to the developer. Further, that the developer present an overall long range plan for the entire parcel taking into account all the comments that have been made at this hearing. The concerns of this Regardless of how this parcel is developed, there Member Member Paulus said she concurred that the plan must go back Mayor Richards commented that good planning has been done in this area of the City over the years and he felt the area should continue to be developed as single family homes. In summary, he said the Council has indicated they are not ready to act on the proposal as presented and asked the City Planner what time constraints if any need to be met. size of the development and in order to comply with the Wetland Conservation Act the developer has agreed in writing to waive the requirement for action by the Council within 120 days of application. Mayor Richards noted that there would only be four Council Members present at the meetings of June 20 and July 5. Planner Larsen answered that because of the Member Kelly made a motion to continue the public hearing for preliminary rezoning and preliminary plat approval for Parkwood Knolls 24th Addition to July 18, 1994, to allow the developer and staff to address the concerns and comments that have been heard. Motion was seconded by Member Rice. Ayes: Kelly, Paulus, Rice, Richards Motion carried. COMPREHELOSIVE PLAN AMENDED TO CHANGE ROAD DESIGNATION FOR PARKLAWN AVENUE Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Planner Larsen advised that Parklawn Avenue is shown as a "Local Street" on the City Land Use Map. The proposed amendment would change its designation to that of "Collector Street".
