Comprehensive Plan Public Hearing Commissioner Thorsen and Chair Olsen introduced themselves and presented a PowerPoint on the Comprehensive Plan. Chair Olsen started the presentation with an overview that included the Metropolitan Council Regional Planning, Edina Comprehensive Plan Update Process (Big Ideas Workshop, Small Area Plans, and Updated Comprehensive Plan), Population Forecasts, Land Use Guide Changes, Public Meetings/Public Input (Better Together), Comment Report, and the Comprehensive Plan Schedule. Chair Olsen explained that there have been 177 public meetings between February 2017 and April 2019. Chair Olsen explained that the Comprehensive Plan is designed as framework for guiding future development, redevelopment, and community enhancement. Chair Olsen also explained that it will be used to shape Edina’s collective future growth, protect what Edina values, and create an even more attractive and sustainable Edina. Chair Olsen explained that one of the first steps they took was the Big Ideas Workshop that was held over 2 days. The Small Area Plans were after that to identify potential areas of change, growth, and investment. Chair Olsen explained that the third step was the update to the Comprehensive Plan, including the requirements of land use, housing, water resources, transportation, parks and trails, implementation, economic competitiveness, and resilience. Chair Olsen explained that in addition to Met Council requirements, Edina has identified six additional priorities that include Arts and Culture, Heritage Preservation, Energy and Environment, Health, Human Rights, and Community Services and Facilities. Commissioner Thorsen introduced himself and explained that the Metropolitan Council is the regional planning body for the 7 county metro area and explained that they are empowered by the state legislature. Thorsen explained the land use guide changes and discussed the following facts: • Units per acre were all approved as part of each Small Area Plan. • 7 percent of Edina has been guided for increased density. These areas are entirely within the Greater Southdale Area. • 93 percent of Edina will remain guided for no change in density or will experience a decrease. • Suggested ranges do not mean that it is the density for a site. Number of units allowed on sites is a decision of the City Council in a Rezoning application. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: May 8, 2019 Page 3 of 10 Commissioner Thorsen discussed forecasts and the following information: • Population Forecasts are long range projections of expected growth largely based on regional macroeconomic, demographic and market assumptions. • Met Council Forecasts are not goals or targets, they are intended to be realistic estimates used to guide investments in infrastructure and public services (there are no incentives or penalties). • Forecasts are provided by the Metropolitan Council and provide a shared foundation for planning by the Met Council land local governments. • Metropolitan Council periodically adjusts forecasts based on new data, to ensure they are as accurate as possible. This has occurred recently with Edina and several other cities. Commissioner Thorsen explained that the reasons to accommodate growth include funding public services, keeping residents here, supporting workplace innovation, enabling multimodal transportation options, and advancing regional sustainability. Commissioner Thorsen explained that according to the Met Council forecast for Edina, approximately 7 percent of Edina’s total land area is forecast for population increase, 44 traffic analysis zones (TAZs), 8 TAZs (18 percent) are forecasted to increase population between now and 2040, and 36 TAZs (82 percent) are forecasted to remain the same or decrease in population. MJ Lamon, Community Engagement Coordinator, introduced herself and explained that she supported the project team during the 30 day review period. Lamon gave an overview of the Comprehensive Plan process, specifically concerning the public input and Better Together. Chair Olsen explained that the Planning Commission reviewed, analyzed, and categorized comments from residents. Chair Olsen thanked everyone who helped and ended the presentation. Public Hearing Julia Risser, 6112 Ashcroft Ave., thanked the Planning Commission for their work. Risser stated that she was disappointed to see that the Wooddale and Valley View maps were misrepresented in the Small Area Plans in the existing land use map, the future land use map, and the zoning site. Risser asked that the maps be updated in time before City Council meets. Bruce Douglas, 3915 W. 42nd Street, thanked the Planning Commission and suggested that it would be helpful if the Planning Commission could simply tell people what changes are being proposed for the city, why they are proposing the changes, and how they think it is going to affect the people that live in Edina. Andy Brown, 5512 Park Place, stated that he was disappointed in the transportation section. Brown stated that with the increased density, a discussion about transportation needs to be had about how transportation will help residents deal with the density. Brown stated that the level of density is unacceptable, especially with the lack of services. Brown also expressed concern about the Southwest light rail and the effect it is going to have on the transportation patterns. David Frenkel, 4510 Lakeview Drive, stated concern about the Fire Department issues in the Comprehensive Plan. Frenkel commented that the major issue he sees is the ISO rating the City of Edina Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: May 8, 2019 Page 4 of 10 Fire Department gets, and that it is missing in the Comprehensive Plan. Frenkel commented that he was concerned that Minneapolis is not on auto response and mutual aid for the City of Edina, but they are for Richfield. Frenkel also stated concern that the City of Minneapolis doesn’t train with the City of Edina Fire Department. Jennifer Henomoth, 6200 Brookview Drive, stated that she thought the two significant flaws in the Comprehensive Plan are that the Met Council designates the City of Edina as an “urban district” and the Comprehensive Plan proposed is designating the City of Edina as an “urban center district.” Henomoth stated that her second concern was regarding traffic and the traffic studies that WSB conducts are flawed. Henomoth stated that WSB’s project studies don’t take into consideration the area outside of the scope of the study, and the studies don’t take into consideration the actual allowable maximum density that is being proposed in the plan. Hope Melton, 4825 Valley View Road, stated that she believes the 2018 Comprehensive Plan promotes environmentally sustainable and equitable growth and a socioeconomically balanced and diverse community. Melton urged the Planning Commission to approve the Comprehensive Plan. Carol Bromer, 6521 Creek Drive, thanked the Planning Commission and Staff for their work on the Comprehensive Plan. Bromer commented that she is grateful for the anticipated population growth and density. Bromer stated that she was grateful for the positive and environmental consequences and mitigating negative impacts on our environment, providing a variety of transportation modes in the Greater Southdale District Plan, protecting and maintaining undeveloped areas and parks throughout the city, providing an increased tax base through new developments, and recognizing and addressing the need for affordable housing in Edina. Barry Rosenthal, 6205 Scotia Drive, wanted to state his support for the Comprehensive Plan. Rosenthal stated that he believes the process was fair and he thinks it is a good plan, even though it is not perfect. Steve Brown, 5528 Halifax Lane, stated his support for the Comprehensive Plan and commended the Planning Commission, City Staff, and consultants for their effort and vision, their openness and transparency, and their commitment to affordable housing. Kris Bremer, 6001 Ewing Avenue S., stated gratitude to those who worked on the Comprehensive Plan and commented that she would like to see more public transit available. Bremer stated that she would like to see more attention to the problem of preserving affordable single family homes. Commissioner Thorsen moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Hamilton seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Discussion/Comments/Questions • Bill Smith, Project Manager for the Comprehensive Plan, apologized for in the incorrect maps. Smith explained that the process in place is to take the document that is posted on Better Together and have it remain in place. Smith stated that the comments will be held to present to Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: May 8, 2019 Page 5 of 10 City Council with the comment separate from the document. Smith stated that the plan is not to make revisions to the document until the City Council has had an opportunity to review. Smith stated that the maps will be looked at right away and the change should be posted on Better Together immediately. Director Teague commented on the incorrect zoning maps (including the other Small Area Plan maps) and stated that Staff will get those corrected right away. • Bill Smith spoke to the questions and concerns about the Transportation chapter and explained that 2 studies were done by WSB Consultants and looked specifically at the Southdale area to identify intersections in other capacity deficiencies that would occur, now and in the future. Smith explained that their analysis showed that those capacity deficiencies could be mitigated with the addition of turn lanes and other reasonable types of mitigation improvements. Smith commented that increasing density will make transportation all the more viable for the City of Edina. Smith stated that he believes the plan makes allowances for how transit can be improved in the area. Smith commented that the Southwest light rail was mentioned, but the traffic impacts that would occur were not looked at specifically at • Dan Cornejo, Consultant, explained that he worked with the Fire and Police Department on the chapter. Cornejo explained that during the Comprehensive Plan process, the Fire Department contracted a consultant for over a year and looked at the response times and the capacity of the current stations. Cornejo commented that he didn’t believe they looked at the interaction between Edina’s Fire Department and other neighboring cities, including training together. Cornejo stated that he will make sure the City of Edina will get involved with those discussions going forward. Cornejo commented that Fire Station Number 2 may be considered inadequate and needs to be expanded and relocated to the north. Cornejo also stated that the other recommendation within the next 10 years to redo Fire Station Number 3. • Chair Olsen commented that the preservation of affordable single family homes is one of the focus points of the housing plan and will be started in the next month or two. Commissioners commented that the proposal is expected at City Council in early May and then work would get started. Commissioners stated that the idea is that the housing chapter is not complete in some ways in terms of the level of guidance that they are hoping to give. Commissioners commented that the hope is that once the taskforce is formed, they can probably complete the study by the end of the year. Commissioners commented that if there is to be information gleaned, certainly it can still be incorporated into the housing chapter or be added as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan later. • Commissioners commented on the mention of “urban” and “urban center” and stated that they don’t know if there is a literal one to one correlation between Edina’s density figures and Met Council’s definition of “urban center.” Commissioners also commented that Edina has been designated as “urban,” which is not quite as dense as an “urban center,” like Minneapolis. Commissioners commented that the point was made that if Met Council is using 20 dwelling units per acre as the standard for an “urban center,” then the question is how is Edina’s “urban” is proposing significantly higher densities than the definition of “urban center?” Commissioners referenced the urban section from the local planning handbook from Met Council and commented that the definition includes a minimum of 10 or 20 units per acre for an entire area, not just one site. • Commissioners discussed concerns that were raised earlier regarding how traffic studies do not account for the area outside the scope of the study and maximum allowable vehicles allowed on Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: May 8, 2019 Page 6 of 10 the road. Director Teague replied that a Traffic Engineer would need to speak to how traffic studies are done, but that the WSB studies did take into account Edina’s top end densities within the Southdale area so they were factored in. Bill Smith addressed the Planning Commission and explained a traffic impact study includes a proposed development and analyzing the development to determine the traffic it generates will affect the adjacent streets. Smith stated that the Comprehensive Plan does recommend is that it has the discretion to say that we, as a city, would like the studies to look at the adjacent streets to the development but also to go further to see what the neighborhood impacts would be. Smith stated that the city has taken steps to ensure that adjacent neighborhoods would be addressed regarding the neighborhood impacts. • Commissioners responded to the comment regarding what changes are being proposed for the city, why they are proposing the changes, and how they think it is going to affect the people that live in Edina. Commissioners explained that if the Comprehensive plan draft gets approved, there will be an addition of an executive summary or cover letter that will come from the Mayor and City Council and it will be a high level overview that will address the questions that were asked. Commissioners summarized what they thought were the key elements in the Comprehensive Plan. Motion Commissioner Thorsen moved approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment with the recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner Berube seconded the motion. Commissioner Lee offered up a recommendation a further study of the population and household forecasts as part of the upcoming housing study. Commissioner Thorsen did not accept the recommendation. Aye: Miranda, Thorsen, Strauss, Nemerov, Hamilton, Bennett, Berube, Chair Olsen Nay: Lee The motion carried 8-1. D. Site Plan Review- 7725 Washington Ave S. (Self Storage Facility) Director Teague explained that the Planning Commission was asked to review a site plan proposal to remodel and expand the existing building at 7725 Washington Avenue and that a Site Plan review is required because the square footage of the proposed expansion exceeds the existing square footage by 10%. Teague explained that the site is currently zoned PID, Planned Industrial District. Mini-storage is a permitted use. Teague also stated that this project is code compliant; therefore, the applicant is entitled the proposed project. Staff recommends approval of the variance, as requested subject to the findings and conditions listed in the staff report. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: May 8, 2019 Page 7 of 10 Appearing for the Applicant Gray Hayes, Ebert Construction, introduced himself and explained that the building will be light and bright. Hayes commented that the building will be a nice addition to the City of Edina and the company has developed other facilities, like this one, around the Twin Cities. Discussion/Comments/Questions • Commissioners asked if outdoor storage was allowed at the facility and Teague replied that it is not allowed. • Commissioners asked Teague about the amount of paving on the site and asked if the Planning Commission can request to reduce the paving to the amount needed instead of the amount that they happen to have. Teague replied that the Planning Commission can ask the applicant, but it cannot be required that they reduce the paving. Hayes explained that part of the impervious coverage is for fire access and they have to maintain fire access on both sides of the building to turn around. Hayes explained that after approval for the site plan, they are required to go back to the 9 Mile Creek and create an infiltration plan for the site so it will reduce some of the hard cover for that. • Commissioners asked what the external appearance is of the building and Teague replied that it is a brick building now and they will be painting it white and explained that the addition would have the material to match the white brick building. • Commissioners asked about the customer base being within a few miles of the location and asked if ecargo bikes would have access to load and unload easily. Hayes explained that the ordinance requires all of the loading and unloading to be done interior to the building so they would come in using the loading and unloading bay that would be large enough to accommodate easily 4 vehicles. Public Hearing None. Commissioner Strauss moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Miranda seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Motion Commissioner Thorsen moved approval of the site plan as outlined in the staff memo subject to the conditions and findings therein. Commissioner Strauss seconded the motion.

Appearing for the Applicant Blair Harrington, Madigan, Dahl & Harlan, P.A., introduced herself and explained that she believes the application meets all of the requirements for approval and opened the floor to any questions. Discussion/Comments/Questions • Commissioners asked if the restaurant is the same size as what was originally approved and Bodeker replied in the affirmative. • Commissioners asked if the entire space was all retail and Harrington replied in the affirmative and commented that there are a few other locations nationwide that have the same type of model, such as Chicago and West Palm Beach. Harrington confirmed that the covered part if year round and the terrace section is weather permitting. Commissioners asked if the space on the rooftop would be available to rent out for parties, and Harrington replied that she was unsure, but that it might be a possibility. • Commissioners asked if the Restoration Hardware in West Palm Beach had its own identity or bar name for way finding and Harrington replied that she was unsure, but Chicago’s location has its own brand for the café. • Commissioners responded to the odor concerns and Bodeker stated that the Health Department responded to that and explained that the Fire Department requires that the hood and duct work installed in restaurants be cleaned according to certain standards and criteria that the Fire Department has, but they do not test for levels of odor. Commissioners commented that it could be an issue and should be looked into. Commissioners also commented that it would be nice to look at other communities do to mitigate the odor or what protections are in place. Teague replied that the ordinance reviews could be something that could be added to their work plan. Teague commented that the only complaint they’re received regarding odor was McCormick & Schmick’s that was rising to the condos above. Teague explained that the restaurant did something to their exhaust system to fix the issue. Public Hearing Nora Davis, 6921 Southdale Road, commented that she liked the building being 3 stories and stated that it is an attractive building. Davis also commented that she didn’t see plans for cooking order control and stated that it is an important issue that affects her neighborhood because the odors from existing restaurants seep into her neighborhood.

COMMUNITY COMMENT Annie Mackinnon, 4412 West 58th Street, distributed letters to the Council regarding their upcoming street reconstruction project. She spoke about the need to focus on safety and the community park and raised concerns about speed and volume each day.

She found the initial design did not adequately address the neighborhood concerns and outlined 13 items that should be considered as part of the reconstruction. Sue Nissen, 4408 West 58th Street, spoke about the need to wait before moving to final design as there were more issues to review and consider as part of this project. Courtney Whited, 5829 Chowen Avenue South, shared concerns about the 58th and Chowen project, how the street had become an informal cut-through for traffic from Xerxes and France Avenue, how people drive too fast in this area now, and how road construction would increase that activity. She felt the pedestrian path was too narrow, eroding away, leaving unsafe routes, and recommended an enhanced crosswalk at 58th Street as well. Bill Sierks, 5713 Brook Drive, said he was the former Chair of the Energy and Environment Commission and shared comments about energy benchmarking and the historical relationship with benchmarking that could provide useful information. He said it was important to understand how energy costs related to buildings and that data would help make more cost-effective decisions. Frank Lorenz, 7151 York Avenue South, commented about the City's inaccurate computations for affordable housing and median household income rates and how the City's income data was much lower than actual.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIL REGIONAL TRAIL DRAFT MASTER PLAN — APPROVED Andrew Scipioni introduced Danny McCullough from Three Rivers Park District (TRPD) who presented the draft master plan for the Canadian Pacific Rail Regional Trail. He shared the 2I-mile trail corridor was divided into six segments and that master plan amendments for each segment over time were done as opportunities arose. The focus was on Segment A engagement, which was 7 miles long with 5.7 miles in Bloomington and 1.3 miles of new trail in Edina at a cost of $2,735,000 as TRPD responsibility. He explained the extensive public engagement process and analysis with three routes and Option C being recommended based on cost, public input, and future local improvements. Mr. Scipioni said they were completing the community comment period and would be seeking resolutions of support from area cities including Edina at their next regular meeting. He reviewed the Segment B master plan kick off would occur late summer 2020 with Segment A scheduled for Metropolitan Council review through July, final Board approval in August, and construction 2023-2024. The Council asked about alignments in the Cahill area and confirmed this was the preferred alignment. Mr. McCullough said they heard many comments about the importance of bike lanes on Cahill Road and how employees of the business park wanted to walk on lunch breaks. The Council agreed this was an exciting project then inquired about Crystal, Minnesota River, and rail line interactions and asked for detail on the public notice process for input. The Council suggested the Park Board review this draft master plan as well. Mr. McCullough said this was the general alignment but they were still exploring options and no work Would be done on the precise location of Segment B until late 2020. He said once the master plan was approved, they could apply for federal transportation dollars and were encouraged based on employment centers, population, and connections. VII.

Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VII.B. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-32 WHITE OAKS C STREET RECONSTRUCTION REASSESSMENT — ADOPTED Mr. Millner stated the City completed a neighborhood roadway reconstruction project in the White Oaks Neighborhood in 2016 and approved the project and preliminary assessments December 8, 2015 and the final assessments October 3, 2017. The preliminary assessment was $26,700 per residential equivalent unit (REU). The final assessment was $24,858.85 per REU, levied against 18 properties. Six of the 18 property owners appealed the assessment in writing before the close of the final assessment hearing. After the Council approved the assessments, those property owners appealed to District Court. During court proceedings in 2018, their appraiser testified that there was not a market value benefit to the properties as result of the street reconstruction. The City's third-party appraiser testified using three different methods that the benefit was $21,000 per REU following the street reconstruction. The Findings of Fact, Conclusion of Law and Remand for Reassessment supported the City Appraiser's market benefit analysis of $21,000 and ordered the special assessments at issue to be set aside and remanded to the Edina City Council for reassessment. Mr. Millner said the City would follow Minnesota State Statute 429 and reassess the six properties to an amount of $21,000. He explained any payments previously made by the property owners would be refunded to them and no change in assessment would be considered for the 12 remaining properties as it could set a precedent. He said the City was confident in its Special Assessment Policy but recognized the growing expense of repairing Edina's aging infrastructure and would continue to evaluate alternatives. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:56 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Fischer, to close the public hearing.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-35 SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR 7725 WASHINGTON AVENUE, SELF STORAGE FACILITY— ADOPTED Community Development Director Teague stated the Council was asked to approve a site plan proposal to remodel and expand the existing building at 7725 Washington Avenue. He said the existing building was 57,632 square feet in size and the proposed expansion areas were 57,058 square feet for a total of 113,690 square feet. Users of the facility would drive into the addition on the north side of building and load/unload into the storage unit from inside building and after unloading they would proceed forward through the building, turn around and exit. He spoke about customer access and office hours and that mini-storage was a permitted use. Mr. Teague said the proposed project was code compliant and the applicant was willing to construct the sidewalk now for future connection. The Council asked why the new use would result in less traffic than the current use. Mr. Teague replied the existing use was light office and that self storage would be much less. Greg Hayes, Ebert Construction, described the proposed project and how it would provide for a nice reuse of the site. He said they had worked with the 9-Mile Creek process to integrate more greenspace and infiltration as required and felt the project would provide a high-quality building, reduced traffic, and construct the first link of the area's sidewalk system. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:06 p.m. Public Testimony Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7. 2019 No one appeared. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Fischer, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. Member Brindle introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-35 approving the site plan at 7725 Washington Avenue for a self-storage facility. Member Anderson seconded the motion. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VII.F. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-36 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR RESTORATION HARDWARE— ADOPTED Assistant City Planner Bodeker said Restoration Hardware (RH) was proposing rooftop dining at the building under construction at 6801 France Avenue. A site plan for Restoration Hardware was approved by the Planning Commission and City Council in 2017. The project was reviewed administratively after approval by the Planning Commission and City Council, due to the project changing from 3-4 stories down to 3 stories in height. The top floor of the 3-story RH under construction included kitchen space, a pantry/wine bar, cafe, and outdoor terrace space with outdoor dining was requested which required a Conditional Use Permit. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. Public Testimony Nora Davis, 6921 Southdale Road 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 spoke about concerns raised during public testimony with regard to proximity of homes and food smells. Mr. Millner said staff spoke with the health department regarding these complaints and no record of actions had been taken at Salut restaurant to date. Current code addressed impacts by adjacent uses and not those that were nearby. Mr. Neal said while addressing food smells would be difficult, staff felt they could work to compel the restaurant community to help address these concerns rather than through an ordinance. He noted approval of this rooftop dining would not cause more food smells as the odors were coming from the kitchen but provided a compelling reason to work to address the concerns through available technology such as better venting. Member Fischer introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-36 approving a conditional use permit for Restoration Hardware at 6801 France Avenue South. Member Brindle seconded the motion. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VII.G. 2018 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE — APPROVED Planning Commission Chair Olson and Planning Commissioner Thorsen said they were pleased to present the 2018 draft Comprehensive Plan and thanked the Council for the process. The Planning Commission recommended that Council authorize staff to release the Plan to adjacent municipalities and affected agencies for their six-month review. They explained the process began in 2015 with Vision Edina and then 2017 with the Big Ideas Workshop, Small Area and District Planning meetings that resulted in the Plan Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7. 2019 update today. They described how the Plan was designed as a framework for guiding future development, redevelopment, and community enhancement and focused on community livability, connectivity, walkability, density of development, traffic flow, height, respect of adjacent neighborhoods, transit use, bike use, linkages, and connections. They reviewed required chapters that included land use, housing, water resources, etc. and six identified additional priorities of arts and culture, heritage preservation, energy and environment, health, human rights, community services, and facilities. Commissioner Thorsen said he was overwhelmed with the effort and work in this project. He shared the Metropolitan Council regional map and referred to their population forecasts and need to meet their expectations which were supported by the Plan. He spoke about Edina's growth and impacts of forecasts that included ways to reduce the City's competitiveness for regional funding around water/wastewater and transit projects then spoke about proposed land use guide changes that included density. He said the process consisted of 178 public meetings since 2017 and they were pleased with the level of community engagement and awareness. Chair Olson spoke about the 95 comments received that resulted in 50 changes to the Plan, which was available on the City's website. She shared the approval schedule and thanked everyone involved in the process. The Council commented on the importance of transportation and infrastructure and addressing sewage through the Metropolitan Council system. Commissioner Thorsen spoke about how redevelopment played into the process and revisions on estimates, and accommodated growth occurred where deemed most reasonable. The Council confirmed they could still approve projects without relationship ties to Metropolitan Council requirements then commented about perceptions of population of the City. The Council confirmed the schedule, input for adjacent communities, and future public hearings then spoke about perception of lack of control of proposed projects once approved and confirmed this would not be the case because of current the zoning ordinance. The Council complimented the group for their work and open-mindedness. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:54 p.m. Public Testimony Keith Olson, 4908 E. Sunnyslope Road, addressed the Council. Cal Simmons, 5038 Bruce Place, addressed the Council. Bruce Christensen, 4515 Browndale, addressed the Council. Michael Pinellis, 5712 View Lane, addressed the Council. Cat Godfrey, 3938 W 49th Street, addressed the Council. Roberta Castellano, 4854 France Avenue, addressed the Council. Arnie Bigbee, 7621 Edinborough Way, addressed the Council. Carolyn Jackson, 5716 Continental Drive, addressed the Council. Hope Melton, 4825 Valley View Road, addressed the Council. Frank Lorenz, 7151 York Avenue South, addressed the Council. Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7. 2019 Steve Brown, 5528 Halifax Lane, addressed the Council.

Stephen Gaertner, 5008 Arden Avenue, addressed the Council. Janet Kitui, 7201 York Avenue, #519, addressed the Council. Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Fischer, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. The Council referred to comments made during public testimony and process and consequences of delaying review. Mr. Teague said the deadline to submit the Plan was December 31 and while delays could be accommodated, it would result in public hearings being held closer to the end of the year. Mr. Neal said while there was some flexibility included in the schedule, it would be difficult to incorporate comments heard now into the draft Plan because it would not allow enough time for adjacent community input. The Council commented about strong edits, the need for one voice, and not wanting to edit from the dais but give broad direction instead as more community thought would be good. The Council shared concerns about population estimates and density and said while some were pleased with the Plan, edits were needed in terms of consistency. The Council noted many had input on this process and postponement would not accomplish something different but merely delay review with other cities. The Council said it could still receive input during the six-month review time then responded to concerns about rate of growth in the City and density in the right place that could help subsidize single family in other areas through lower taxes. The Council thanked everyone for their great work on this draft Plan then spoke about trends of tear down/rebuild and infill in small areas and commercial nodes. The Council spoke to the importance of schools continuing to grow and improve and how the housing task force would review where and what type of housing was needed through a process of good faith and the importance of being kind and forgiving as we encounter the next generation. The Council referred to concerns of views based on increased electrical wiring and the uncountable hours of preparation that went into this Plan as Edina was a city in transition and should continue to work on affordable housing as reasonable growth and change were inevitable. The Council agreed said the Plan would perform more as an urban center based on proposed growth and was missing a clear connection of redevelopment to staging with sufficiency of infrastructure. The Council acknowledged there was a need for better circulator system, the Plan was valuable, and guided growth that reflected residents now and in the future. The Council spoke about the increase in population since the first draft Plan, how the City typically experienced 10% growth per year, then reiterated the Council did not have a preconceived notion regarding population. The Council referred to the process, mid-point check-ins, consequences of not changing the Plan, and the need for a Cahill area study. The Council also noted the need to create higher densities without affecting existing neighborhoods and that this Plan did not increase housing densities much over the last one. The Council referred to the Plan's major goal of achieving a level of life-cycle housing then spoke about the Avidor project and how current residents were moving to this 55+ facility that resulted in making room for new families in the vacated single-family homes. The Council agreed it was important to provide opportunities for people to live where they want, creating affordable housing for our workforce, and how it was better to work together as it only helped the entire City. The Council referred to the possibility of a third-party housing group to study housing concepts with the task force and the need for data that could be compiled Page 8 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7, 2019 by an objective, professional firm. Mr. Neal said he spoke with a potential housing study firm and engaging such a firm would take between 90-120 days to complete. The Council noted how a Comprehensive Plan was never complete as it always changed and while this housing information would be critical to the housing chapter, the Plan needed to be circulated now and further community comments could be incorporated during the six-month review timeframe. Mr. Teague said that could occur but noted the Plan would likely need to be recirculated in the event that substantial changes were made. He noted changes could always be dealt with through a Comprehensive Plan amendment after adoption. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Staunton, to approve the draft Comprehensive Plan update and authorize staff to release the Plan to adjacent municipalities and affected agencies for their six-month review. Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Nays: Anderson Motion carried. VIII. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS VIII.A. RECOMMENDATION FOR RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL — APPROVED Community Health Administrator Brown stated at the March 5, 2019 City Council meeting, staff was directed to conduct community engagement to determine resident sentiment regarding frequency of recycling collection. He shared the public engagement report and reviewed the timeline and factors related to weekly and bi-weekly costs. He said they used both the Better Together platform and Morris Leatherman Company phone survey that reached 370 people who favored 2-1 of keeping recycling every other week as they did not want to pay more. Mr. Brown said staff recommended entering into a contract with Republic Services for a cost of $3.59 per month for 2020. The Council spoke about their surprise in how close the survey came and residents' willingness to trade costs for more capacity. The Council complimented staff on the effective process and suggested creating a shared community collection site for when some had extra recycling capacity. The Council suggested community engagement occur again during the contract to determine whether changes were warranted and the importance of the vendor ensuring items were not left behind in the neighborhoods. Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to approve the approve staff recommendation for residential recycling collection contract and provide direction for staff to begin negotiations with vendor. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.B. COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STRATEGY TASK FORCE — APPROVED Mr. Neal said the City Council had previously discussed the advisability of establishing an ad hoc task force to develop a comprehensive housing strategy for the City. If approved by the Council, staff would begin immediate implementation with a goal of completing the assigned task by the end of this calendar year. He spoke about being able to better engage volunteers if the City showed a concise process with an end date, process, expectations, and expected deliverables. The Council spoke about retaining residents, attracting new families, and creating a range of affordability. The Council said the community was concerned about density and the need to continue review and provide data for review for the task force. The Council confirmed a consultant or facilitator would be possible and that task force members would possess qualifications related to housing. The Council wanted to see affordable housing and options for people of certain ages and asked if the task force would provide guidance on population as the City wanted to be able to tell the development community what it wanted to see in Edina. Mr. Neal explained the process would be done more through check-ins for some direction from the Council and stressed the importance of appointing the right Chair for this resident-led task force. Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Anderson, to approve the Comprehensive Housing Strategy Task Force and direct staff to initiate implementation.

The Commission acknowledged that change was hard but if plans are not made for change, there can be issues. The Commission expressed concern with criticism of the Edina Schools and agreed the City did an outstanding job with the 2018 Comprehensive Plan update. The Commission indicated it was excited to implement the Comprehensive Plan with other City Commissions and while there were concerns with parts of the Comprehensive Plan, it needed to stay general, based on population trends, and the resulting changes it will bring.

REQUEST FOR PURCHASE: GLENGARRY PARKWAY SUMP DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS – APPROVED The Council asked about reasons for and cost to address drainage issues in this area that included a storm water drainage system. Mr. Millner explained the new home constructed in this neighborhood resulted in drainage issues, which had included sump pumps and an extensive infiltration system above building requirements but to date was not successful. He said staff suggested a solution that included neighboring property owners to fund the sump drain improvements through the street reconstruction project as it had a public benefit to reduce water in the summer and ice management in the winter. The Council clarified this would address storm water management overall and used this as example of a solution because there was no obligation from the builder for storm water management except to the right-of-way, after which the City was responsible to manage. Mr. Millner said the builder tried to address the concern on the property with infiltration basins, which were still in place and operational but not sufficient. Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to approve the request for purchase, awarding the bid to the recommended low bidder, Glengarry Parkway Sump Drain Improvements, Downrite Boring & Metro General Services, $24,560. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton and Hovland Motion carried. VII. SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS AND PRESENTATIONS VII.A.

He reviewed the policy that included data retention, public access, technical specifications and purchasing process. Community Engagement Coordinator Lamon explained the process for gathering public input on the policy that included online through Better Together Edina and the public meeting opportunity at the December 17, 2019 Council meeting. VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD – Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. VIII.A. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-108, AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF THE 2018 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO METROPOLITAN COUNCIL – ADOPTED Mayor Hovland shared comments about how the Comprehensive Plan was a work product from over 100 residents that included the Task Force, Work Group and Advisory Commissions and spanned two years and over 180 public meetings. He thanked the Planning Commission for its leadership in this effort and thanked staff and consultants for their work. He outlined the areas of proposed change and process as Minutes/Edina City Council/December 3, 2019 Page 3 required by Statute and said the public hearing was to gather input for consideration for authorization to staff to submit the 2018 Comprehensive Plan to Metropolitan Council. He noted the Plan provided a vision for the City and framework for shaping future growth and change and contained information about current conditions, trends, goals and policies for land use, community design, housing, transportation, parks, recreation, and natural resources, water resources, heritage preservation, and community services and facilities. Bill Smith, Biko Associates, reviewed the planning process and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, public meetings and schedule, revisions since the March 2019 draft plan presentation, and next steps. He said the Plan allowed the opportunity to respond to development and prepare for local non-regional concerns and issues such as arts and culture, community health, and other topics. Dan Cornejo, Cornejo Consulting, explained how the Small Area Planning was a large portion of the planning process that identified proposed areas of change for increased density and the need for urban design guidelines into smaller blocks, building setbacks, more walkable areas, central parks in the northwestern area, promenade extension, expansion of library services connected to the plaza, stormwater management enhancements, and amenity. He spoke about goals of the Small Area Plans (SAPs) that included preserving the integrity of single-family and low-density neighborhoods, focused redevelopment, enhanced mobility, and others. Mr. Smith highlighted the planning process and role the community played led by the Planning Commission and how 93 percent of proposed City development would not change. Haila Maze, Bolton & Menk, presented proposed revisions and described how public input was solicited throughout the process. She reviewed clarification on growth forecasts, benefits of new growth, updates to land use calculations, revisions to affordable housing allocation consistent with land use, and next steps for submission by year end. Community Development Director Teague shared responses to public input from resident Roberta Castellano that included falsely reported housing unit density ranges for medium density residential areas, backdating of portions of the Plan, and others. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:22 p.m. The Council confirmed no comments were received from the Edina School District when requested. Public Testimony JoAnn Olsen, 4379 Mackey Avenue, Planning Commission Chair, addressed the Council.

The Council responded to questions raised during public testimony regarding transportation concerns, changes and timing of the Plan, and confirmed that the development framework from 2012 and the transportation study from 2016 were included in the Plan but not as Small Area Plan. Chair Richmond addressed transportation on 50th & France in the proposed Comprehensive Plan and Mr. Smith shared comments how transportation was not due to development but to trip geography and how traffic impact studies looked broadly, not just at immediate intersections. He explained mitigation measures were not extreme and could be done through signal time adjustments and right turn lanes additions that provided quicker results. He spoke about previous Councils’ work to create growth along transit corridors, which encouraged a change in how we travel. Ms. Maze explained the backdating that occurred was in error and the version going forward would be corrected. She then referenced the assurance that the Grandview and The Lid was not called out in the Plan and confirmed the developed framework would be part of the adopted Small Area Plan but not in the more recent work. The Council inquired about the Met Council’s input on the proposed four-story limitation and comments received based on a resident-led website about why the Plan should not be supported that included concerns about increased population. Mr. Teague said the Met Council’s role did not include direction on height but noted the proposed language was based on allowable variances and not a cap. He explained the Plan prepared for population change that was already coming and the 33 percent population increase figure provided by the residents was high and projections showed only a 16 percent increase. He said residential densities would increase outside the Southdale area but within the SAP areas, no density increases were projected in either medium- or low-density areas. Mr. Teague explained the statement regarding the addition of 7,491 high-density units was correct, but all would be constructed within commercial and high- density areas in the Greater Southdale Area’s commercial nodes. The Council spoke about the claim that the City had a vision for high growth and urbanization that was not shared by most of City but referred to the extensive public process used to create the Plan. The Council shared comments about the biggest impact in low-density residential areas with the current tear- down/rebuilds, which made Edina seem like an emerging suburb. The Council noted the Plan would not result in every property developing to that density and did not outline extensive change with the exception of rezoning on three properties in the 70th and Cahill area. The Council commented on how the Plan provided a vision and guide to upcoming development based on the City’s direction. The Council discussed population impacts occurring in other cities along transit lines and the Southwest corridor light rail, which would occur in Edina as well and how a city wants population to thrive to increase property values, especially when there was little space left to develop. The Council said it liked the economic competitiveness already occurring in Southdale and spoke about how big box stores were going away and the Plan enticed local businesses to come. The Council then referred to the importance of broadband infrastructure as well as arts and culture and the need for an arts center in the future. The Council spoke about how the Plan could be changed along the way, if needed, and the City’s leadership role in offsetting homelessness through creation of workforce housing. The Council spoke about how change in growth was not new in the community and referred to the creation of Southdale as a town center and Edinborough. The Council understood concerns about high-density housing but encouraged the Minutes/Edina City Council/December 3, 2019 Page 5 public to embrace the goal of retaining current residents through housing alternatives so new families could move in. The Council spoke about the importance of climate change, sustainability, air quality and ensuring water was safe along with the transportation grid and smart growth to address an aging population. The Council stated it was important to repopulate the City and provide for open space, walking paths and housing options to age in the community instead of in place. The Council acknowledged the City would be better off because of the Plan and thanked everyone for their extensive work. Member Fischer introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2019-108 authorizing staff to submit the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update to the Metropolitan Council. Member Staunton seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland Nay: Anderson Motion carried. VIII.B. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-66, PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT, LOT DEPTH VARIANCE; PLATTING AN EXISTING OUTLOT, AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR OAK LANE – POSTPONED Mr. Teague shared the applicant was proposing to build a new single-family home on property currently platted as an Outlot. This lot was originally created in 1975 as part of Warden Acres Austin Replat and Warden Acres Austin 2nd Replat. In the 1975 Plat, 25 feet of right-of-way was dedicated to the City with the intention of building a street to the east from Oak Lane to Garden Avenue. An additional 25 feet right- of-way was expected to be taken from the property to the south when it was ready to be developed. On August 14, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat and variances of 151 feet to 138 feet. He reviewed the wetland edge and need for Watershed District approval, proposed lot size, which was larger than surrounding lots, and commented on the need for park dedication with the added condition along the west lot line of a 25-foot setback for construction of any home and the required 30-foot wide right-of-way adjacent to the property. The Council asked questions regarding the City using the lot for stormwater management or access for a future street, if soil tests had been completed and interest in potential development if an alleyway was created. Mr. Teague said staff determined use of the lot for stormwater management would make no real impact and could not justify the cost of the project and said it would remain an outlot until the property to the south was developed where additional right-of-way could be added and a full street constructed. The Council asked if the lot could be divided to provide adequate right-of-way. City Attorney Knutson spoke about how Council decisions were classified quasi-judicial and if the applicant met ordinance requirements, it should be approved as this was not a subdivision but a platting of an outlot to a buildable lot. Lance Elliott, applicant, shared background as residents of the City and their desire to downsize and remain in Edina. He spoke about their work to explain and address neighborhood concerns and said soil borings revealed good compactable soil. He stated the house plan would not include a full basement and outlined their work to retain as many trees as possible, then noted his offer to allow the neighborhood to purchase his property in order to have it remain an outlot. Mr. Elliott shared the proposed site plan and requested variance request, which otherwise met City requirements then spoke about stormwater, trees, wildlife and the natural setting. It was noted his conditional Watershed District approval included a 150- foot by 12-foot wide raingarden, which captured all run-off from the lot and exceeded the buffer requirements. He addressed tree removal concerns and how they shifted the driveway alley to reduce tree loss and outlined the intent to plant 40 more higher-quality trees and create a butterfly- and bee-friendly environment with wood duck boxes. Mr. Elliott explained the driveway would be permeanable pavers then spoke about the alley example that served four homes in another area and was being proposed here. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 10:50 p.m. Minutes/Edina City Council/December 3, 2019 Page 6 Public Testimony Rick Bale, 5805 Oak Lane, addressed the Council.

Member Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton and Hovland Motion carried. The Council inquired about questions raised during public testimony relating previous proposals, public right-of-way for private use, and if the slab home was being proposed due to water concerns. The Council asked about the roadway around the Bales’ home, why it could not come from Garden Street, and if the outlot was buildable. Mr. Teague shared staff reviewed proposals with surrounding property owners but no applications were submitted and any road would be constructed as a public road. The Council asked about lots on Benton, property owners’ rights to create a public road to access their lots, the 500-foot requirement, and the potential for right-of-way vacation. Mr. Teague responded if property owners of lots to the south requested subdivision and met Code requirements, the City would have to approve the plat. Mr. Millner explained the petition process and need to reconcile the outlot. The Council spoke about need to preserve single-family neighborhoods balanced against the request of the property owner who would do a good job developing the lot. The Council noted this lot would eventually be built upon and encouraged continued connecting with property owners regarding a possible purchase. The Council spoke about the intention of previous Councils for a street to develop these lots, not having a path for one lot behind another lot, and the need to address stormwater. The Council also spoke about the importance of evaluating runoff impacts and mitigation issues and while probably buildable, any construction would create a less permeable surface. Mr. Elliott stated that based on discussions, he believed there was still an opportunity for a solution and would provide written agreement to postpone consideration of the item until December 17, 2019. Minutes/Edina City Council/December 3, 2019 Page 7 Member Staunton moved to postpone consideration to Resolution No. 2019-91, approving a Preliminary and Final Plat at 6600 France Ave., to the December 17, 2019, Council meeting based on the applicant’s written request. Member Anderson seconded the motion. Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, Staunton and Hovland Motion carried. VIII.C. ORDINANCE NO. 2019-16, AMENDING CHAPTER 2 OF THE CITY CODE, SETTING FEES FOR 2020 – ADOPTED Assistant Finance Director Sawyer shared the schedule of fees and charges proposed for 2020 and highlighted changes to Chapter 18 - Fire Prevention to increase approximately 1.5 percent to better align with the cost of service and Chapter 28 – Utilities based on an update to the 2015 Utility Rate Study, which recommended an increase of 5 percent for water and sanitary sewer charges and 8 percent for storm sewer charges for 2020. He explained the increase to water and sanitary sewer charges was consistent with previous annual increases and the storm sewer charge was being increased 8 percent for 2020, compared to the 2015 rate study projection of 6.5 percent to offset increased proposed capital spending. Mr. Sawyer explained rates in the Morningside district would be set once the 2020 water rates from the City of Minneapolis were received. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 11:55 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared. Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Anderson, to close the public hearing.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-106, SETTING THE 2020 TAX LEVY AND ADOPTING THE 2020 OPERATING BUDGET – ADOPTED Mr. Neal shared that following an extensive process that included several departmental meetings, the preliminary 2020-2021 Budget was presented to Council for review at two work sessions during August, followed by approval in September of a preliminary levy for taxes payable in 2020 of $39,467,543, which was an increase of $2,228,522 or 5.9 percent over 2019. He reviewed the goals, objectives and strategies the budget was based on, reviewed the general fiscal system, total outstanding debt, past levy increases and drivers, the 2019 property tax distribution and proposed 2020 property tax distribution as well as property tax impacts.
