The property is located at 5316 West 60th St. and is planned for a tear-down re-build with the existing house to be replaced with a two-story home with an attached three car garage. The new home will conform to all of the ordinance requirements with the exception of the new first floor height. The applicant is applying for a variance to the rule that allows the proposed elevation of the first floor of a new house to be no greater than 1' above the existing floor elevation. The existing first floor elevation is 909.53'. The plans indicate the first floor to be at 912.2' which is 2.67' above the existing home’s 1st floor and is within 1.5" of both neighboring homes (912.15' and 912.32'). The applicant has stated the 2.67' higher in first floor elevation is 1.67' more than allowed but the existing house is positioned unusually low relative to the adjacent homes. The applicant has indicated the project won't be able to meet the standard required grading of 6" of fall in the first 10' from the home and 2% grade from there to the curb without the benefit of a variance.

September 9, 2020 PLANNING COMMISSION Kris Aaker, Assistant City Planner B-20-18, A 1.67-foot first floor height variance for a new home at 5316 West 60th Street. Information / Background: STAFF REPORT Page 2 Existing Site Features The existing 13,843 square foot lot is located on the south side of 60th Street West. The existing rambler is to be removed and replaced with a two-story home, which will be elevated to increase the 1st floor height. The new first floor height will be increased a total of 2.67’, however, the maximum allowable over-all height is 35.4’, (944.2’ elevation), measured from the average existing grade of 908.8’ and will comply with the height restrictions. The maximum ridge height from grade allowed is 944.2 feet, with the new home ridge height from existing grade at 944.2 feet, slightly lower than the maximum allowed. Planning Guide Plan designation: Low-Density Residential Zoning: R-1, Single-Dwelling District Grading & Drainage The Environmental Engineer has reviewed the application and submitted comments as attached in their memorandum. Site drains to 60th St W and ponding basin. These subwatersheds eventually drain to Nine Mile Creek. The proposed site grading and drainage is similar. There is a decrease in impervious surface in the rear drainage area and an increase of 69 SF in the front drainage area. Stormwater was reviewed and is consistent with City of Edina Building Policy SP-003 standards. A final grade as-built survey and inspection will be required to verify compliance with the approved stormwater plan.

Staff believes the proposal meets the criteria for a variance to allow the first-floor elevation 2.67 feet higher than the existing home with a variance of 1.67 feet as requested for the following four reasons: 1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-1 Single Dwelling Unit District and complies with zoning standards, with exception of the new 1st floor elevation height. The proposed home design will be slightly lower than the over-all maximum height requirement of 35.42 feet. 2. The variance allows the new first floor to be elevated approximately equal to the first floors of the two adjacent homes while maintaining the required distances from the neighbors to the east and west. It provides an increased first floor height to allow proper drainage while still complying with the maximum allowable height as measured from existing grade. The home will comply in all respects with the exception of the 1st floor height. 3. The proposed home design reflects the character of the neighborhood in height, scale, and mass. The maximum height from existing grade will conform even given the increase in 1st floor elevation. The project will bring the new first floor to be even with the two neighboring homes. The home is appropriate in size and scale for the lot and similar to surrounding properties. The new home will be an improvement to the existing site conditions, complies with the over-all height maximum requirement and will enhance the property. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the variance, subject to the findings listed in the staff report above, and subject to the following conditions: 1. The site must be developed and maintained in conformance with the following plans: • Survey Date stamped, August 17, 2020. • Building plans and elevations date stamped, August 17, 2020. STAFF REPORT Page 4 2. Compliance with the conditions and comments listed in the Environmental Engineer’s Memo Dated September 9, 2020. DATE: 9/1/2020 TO: Cary Teague – Planning Director FROM: Zuleyka Marquez, PE – Graduate Engineer RE: 5313 60th St W - Variance Review The Engineering Department has reviewed the subject property for street and utility concerns, grading, stormwater, erosion and sediment control and for general adherence to the relevant ordinance sections. This review was performed at the request of the Planning Department; a more detailed review will be performed at the time of building permit application. Plans reviewed included an existing survey, proposed survey, stormwater and drainage maps, and erosion control plan dated 7/21/20, 7/23/20 and 8/14/20. Summary of Work The applicant proposes a new home. The request is for a variance to the first floor. Easements No comment. Grading and Drainage Site drains to 60th St W and ponding basin. These subwatersheds eventually drain to Nine Mile Creek. The proposed site grading and drainage is similar. There is a decrease in impervious surface in the rear drainage area and an increase of 69 SF in the front drainage area. Stormwater Mitigation Stormwater was reviewed and is consistent with City of Edina Building Policy SP-003 standards. A final grade as-built survey and inspection will be required to verify compliance with the approved stormwater plan. Floodplain Development A local 1% annual chance flood event is in the rear yard and along Hansen Rd, up to the 60th St intersection. Thus, the lowest opening elevation is required at no less than 907.1’. Avoid fill below the 1% annual chance flood elevation of 905.1’. Erosion and Sediment Control An erosion and sediment control plan was reviewed and is consistent with City of Edina Building Policy SP-002. Street and Driveway Entrance If the applicant proposes to relocate or replace the existing curb cut. A driveway entrance permit will be required. The street was reconstructed in 2017. Refer to standard plates 525, 540, and 541 for patching requirements. Public Utilities Water and sanitary are served from 60th St W. A one-inch water service line from the curb stop to the dwelling is required per the City’s policy SP-024. Sump line available for connection. If connecting to the City sump line, a permit and compliance with City of Edina Building Policy SP-006 will be required. Miscellaneous A Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit may be required, applicant will need to verify with the district. No evidence of a well on this site. Thus, coordination with Minnesota Department of Health will not be required. 2999 WEST C.R. 42, SUITE 100, BURNSVILLE, MN 55306PHONE: 952.890.6044 www.jrhinc.comPLANNERS / ENGINEERS / SURVEYORS5313 60TH STREET WESTEDINA, MINNESOTACERTIFICATE OF SURVEY-EXISTING CONDITIONSFORSTONE COTTAGE HOMES4171 YOSEMITE AVENUE SOUTH, ST.

September 9, 2020 PLANNING COMMISSION Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner B-20-16, A 4.9-foot front yard setback variance for an entry addition at 6720 Samuel Road Information / Background: STAFF REPORT Page 2 Planning Guide Plan designation: Low-Density Residential Zoning: R-1, Single-Dwelling District Compliance Table City Standard Proposed North Side – Rear Yard East Side – Side yard South – Front yard West Side – Side street yard 25 feet 10 feet 34.8 feet 33.9 feet (existing setback) 15 feet 54 feet (existing) 12.5 feet (existing) 29.9 feet* 59.9 feet (existing) Building Coverage 25% 16.75% *Requires a variance PRIMARY ISSUES & STAFF RECOMMENDATION Primary Issues • Is the proposed variance justified? Minnesota Statues and Section 36-98 of the Edina Zoning Ordinance require that the following conditions must be satisfied affirmatively. The proposed variance will: 1. Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. “Practical difficulties” may include functional and aesthetic concerns. The practical difficulty is caused by the location of the existing home. STAFF REPORT Page 3 2. There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-created? The existing house has a non-conforming front yard setback. The requested variance is minimal and will help accessibility of the existing home. The applicant is trying to improve the existing structure instead of tearing down and rebuilding. 3. Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? Granting the variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. All other aspects of the home conforms to the ordinance requirements. Recommended Action: Approve a 4.9-foot front yard setback variance to the required front yard setback at 6720 Samuel Road. Approval is subject to the following findings: 1. The proposed use is permitted 2. The proposal meets the variance criteria. The practical difficulty is caused by the existing location of the home and the accessibility in the front entry of the home. 3. The proposed addition is reasonable, as it is small in size and would not impact adjacent properties or site lines. 4. Granting the variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. Survey dated August 18, 2020. 2. Elevations and plans received date stamped June 17, 2020. EXPLANATION OF REQUEST: The Belschner family is requesting a 5’ setback variance in order to expand the front entryway to be able to accommodate better accessibility for handicapped relatives. Currently, the small entry landing has only three inches of clearance between the edge of the open door and the first step of the stairway which requires the person answering the door to step back up onto the stairs when letting someone into the entry. This makes standing next to someone that needs support to enter the home and climb the stairs almost impossible. The family has resorted to driving over the lawn into the backyard to get handicapped relatives into the house, which is not possible year-round. The proposed new entry improves accessibility and curb appeal and is an overall improvement to the property.

The applicant would tear down the existing 66,200 square foot office and bank, and build the following: A 24-foot tall 6,000 s.f. US Bank building with drive-through (Phase 1). A 10-story, (140 feet tall)184,000 s.f. office/retail building – 737 parking stalls. A 23-story (280 feet tall), 254-unit residential tower – 425 parking stalls. A 7-story, (77 feet tall) 100-unit (affordable housing) apartment building – 107 parking stalls. Sketch Plans have been considered on this site from a different developer. The current proposal is generally similar but has less surface parking and no drive-through for retail use. The proposed bank does have a drive-through behind the building. The applicant has done a nice job following the Southdale Design Experience guidelines. Mic Johnson, AFO, Architectural Field Office has provided a review of the proposed plans. (See attached.) The request would require the following: 1. Rezoning from PCD-3 to PUD. Flexibility would be requested through the PUD Ordinance to vary from existing setback, height, and floor area ratio (FAR) requirements. The PUD Zoning is also used to ensure the affordable housing on the site.

SOUTHDALE VISION FRAMEWORK TABLE CONTENTS 3 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 STATEMENT + NARRATIVE PROJECT OVERVIEW: Mortenson in partnership with U.S. Bank is proposing a new development on the U.S. Bank block on 70th and France. The concept will add value to the entire site, enhance U.S. Bank’s presence and visibility and help build upon the thriving Southdale District. The team envisions this site as an op- portunity to create an iconic development that accents the corridor along 70th and France with U.S. Bank as an anchor that will be a catalyst growth. To achieve this success, we have partnered with Orion Investments and ESG to advance the devel- opment, entitlement and design of our redevelopment concept. We are proud to present our ideas and look forward to working with U.S. Bank to help them come to life. The vision for the site is aligned with The Greater South District Plan and Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines. The concept will perpetuate the momentum of the growing South- dale District, while being a catalyst for the sustainable growth of Edina as a whole. We are excited to present this new development that will add to the vibrancy and prosperity within the urban fabric of the Southdale District. PROJECT PROGRAM: Consistent with the City of Edina’s vision to create a street grid system within the block, the project will have four development pads that will unfold in four phases, while keeping U.S. Bank opera- tional and with minimal disruption throughout the process. Phase 1 is the construction of the new bank building with associated drive-thru facility and surface parking stalls prior to the demolition of the existing facility. The new freestanding building designed specifically for US Bank will be lo- cated along France Avenue at the southwestern portion of the site to ensure a high level of visibility along this busy street. Once demolition of the existing bank branch is complete additionally project parts include office and retail (Site B) of approximately 160,000 square feet of office space in 5 office stories with ap- proximately 650 office parking stalls. Approximately 24,000 square feet of commercial/retail space at level 1 with roughly 100 associated parking stalls. The northeast corner of the site (Site A) in- cludes the construction of a new 23 story, approximately 250 unit residential tower with and rough- ly 360 enclosed parking stalls, 10,000 square feet of street level retail with 60 associated parking stalls. Lastly the southeast portion of the site (Site C) is a project with the construction of a 7-story apartment building with approximately 100 dwelling units and 100 parking stalls. 4 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 US BANK & SOUTHDALE U. S. Bank and the Southdale District: U. S. Bank has had a major presence at the corner of 70th and France Avenue in Edina for many decades. As banking and the Edina development context have evolved, the current configuration of the property has become less appropriate. The bank has made the decision to partner in the redevelopment of this property along the guidelines established in the new Greater Southdale District Plan. The new development is a mix of retail, service and housing uses. It is critical to the bank that they maintain an uninterrupted presence on the property as it trans- forms into a new, higher density mixed-use neighborhood. In response, the bank has chosen to build its first new, transformative flagship prototype at the south west corner of their existing property on France Avenue. This will allow for a simple move that opens the rest of the property for redevel- opment. By relocating to this smaller parcel at the south west corner the bank can support the objectives of the greater Southdale district plan in the following ways: - The existing property can be broken down into smaller blocks with new internal streets. - The arrangement of blocks can provide for a higher density, mixed-use environ- ment, with walkable streetscapes. - Retail and needed services, such as the new flagship bank, will be expanded. - A pedestrian east-west link from France Avenue to the Promenade will be estab- lished. - The new bank will be oriented to France Avenue with minimal parking, primarily for bank visitors. 5 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SOUTHDALE FRAMEWORK SOUTHDALE SMALL AREA FRAMEWORK: Following the Design Experience Guidelines and Southdale Small Area plan this development creates small blocks, ar- ranges urban public and private spaces pleasantly, enhanc- es connections within the district, and provides varied and mixed uses.

This project takes advantage of the promi- nent intersection at 70th and France Avenue to create a strong extension of the existing street font expres- sion of the sites to the North and South. Active uses for residential, commercial and retail program are ori- ented toward the exterior edges of the development further enhancing the dynamic character of the proj- ect. Commercial program is located at ground level of each quadrant of the site creating and connecting pedestrian traffic to, and through, the site. Above the commercial components of the project are several lev- els of screened, structured parking serving the office and residential programs. Additional screened park- ing is provided at grade to serve street level commer- cial uses and to provide short term parking for office and residential visitors. Access to the project is primarily from a mid-block boulevard along 70th Street that provides both a pedestrian and vehicular connection to parking and main lobby spaces for each program. This boulevard will be a highly landscaped, walkable, sustainably fo- cused site feature that provides pedestrian scale entry elements to each of the mixed-use portions of the project as well as a flexible outdoor space for seasonal programming. Additional outdoor space is provided throughout the project at both grade level landscap- ing and feature areas, as well as elevated balconies and outdoor terraces serving tenants in the office, and residents in the residential program. 13 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE A (NORTHEAST) Occupying the Northeast quadrant of the site is a residential tower composed of 23 floors with a total of 254 units and re- ferred to as “Site A”. Similar to how the portion of the develop- ment along France Avenue engages that frontage, this proj- ect holds the street edge to reinforce the strong streetscape presence evident throughout the France Avenue corridor. The general expression of the building is made up of a series of shifting masses, stepping away from the street to give relief from the pedestrian entry which occurs midway along the el- evation of the tower. The shifting masses of the tower sit atop a multi-story plinth which houses the main entry and amenity uses within the project, as well as providing screening for the structured parking deck behind. The ground level program of the residential tower can be accessed both from along 70th Street and from the shared interior boulevard between the tower and the office building. Active uses line the street level and allow for pedestrians to move freely across the site to engage with the other program deeper in the site along the shared boulevard. Parking can also be reach by utilizing this shared access and is screened from view through the use of robust landscaping. Above the main plinth is a large outdoor amenity deck pro- vided for the residents of the tower and can be accessed directly from the main building. Units within the tower are optimized for excellent views as well as access to exterior balconies which will be sunken into the mass of the structure opposed to the more traditional approach of projecting from the façade. 3D VIEW 14 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE B (NORTHWEST): The commercial and office portion of the site, referred to as “Site B” consists of 150,000 SF of office program over 4 stories of screened, structured parking. At the base of the structure is large commercial use facing France Avenue as well as the main lobby for the office building at the corner of 70th Street and the new entry boulevard proposed between the office and residential portions of the project. The massing of “Site B” creates a dramatic silhouette along France Avenue by shifting the office plates subtly at different locations to create outdoor terrace opportunities for office users. These shifts also break up the façade of the building to create a playful, yet efficient exterior skin that takes cues from the historically modern office projects that line this corridor and abstracts them into a more contemporary approach focused on wellness and access to the outdoors. The parking levels are screened with an architectural feature that allows for daylight and air to enter the space and pro- vides an attractive design element that will provide a compli- mentary material to the articulation of the office skin above. This screen will be designed and detailed in such a way as to break down the scale of the 4-story parking ramp to a more pedestrian scale experience while up close, while also reading from a distance at a scale more appropriate for the speed of traffic along France Avenue. At the pedestrian level the commercial space is pulled back from the perimeter of the building above slightly to create an overhang and awning that reinforces the street level entry of this program. Clear glazing will define this portion of the building allowing unobstructed views to the active use and providing ample opportunity for entry along the pedestrian walk. The office lobby holds the corner opposite the residen- tial building and will be treated similarly to the commercial program. This lobby also provides access to the shared eleva- tors for the parking and office as well as shared amenities for the office building such as conferencing, coffee/food program and reception. 3D VIEW FUTURE FLEXIBILITY As the project evolves the Site B location at the north- west block may require flexibility to modify from the initially proposed use of primarily office to multiple or singular different uses other than office. As these become apparent pre or post PUD documents will be revised to reflect this. Any changes that would be made would not alter the overall scope or change the aesthetic direction that is shown in this document. 15 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE C (SOUTHEAST) The Southeast quadrant of the site, referred to as “Site C” is comprised of a 7-story Workforce housing structure over 1 level of underground parking. Consistent with the balance of the site, this housing project will hold tight to the corner of the pedestrian realm at the lower level enhancing the strong urban character represented within the France corridor. The general massing of the architecture will be made of up a sim- ilar character to the residential tower in that the bulk of the building will be comprised of shifting planes stepping back from the site boundary. This approach allows for more green- space and outdoor balconies to define the outward facing ele - vations, taking the place of typical hard street edge treatment seen in similar types of projects. As with the residential tower on Site A to the North, this portion of the site will be accessed both from the perimeter streetscape through a mid-elevation entry, as well as from the shared boulevard dividing the overall site. This portion of the development also acts as another screen for the buried parking attached to the tower in Site A. The lower level of this building will be characterized by pedestrian scale treatment of both material and massing, emphasizing transparency and connection to active use where possible. Above the ground level will be the bulk of the residential building comprised of units prioritizing views out of the site. Many units will have access to personal balcony space which will, similar to the residential tower, be sunken into the mass- ing of the building to eliminate the outward projection typi- cally associated with exterior balconies. On top of the lower plinth housing the residential lobby and first floor amenities will be an exterior amenity deck provided exclusively for tenant use and will also provide ample green space as well as enhancing the views of the other, taller structures within the development. 3D VIEW 16 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 3D VIEW SITE D (SOUTHWEST) - US BANK BRANCH The tone and character that defines the U. S. Bank brand can be summarized through these terms: Disarmingly warm: friendly, but not overly familiar or doting Plain spoken: straightforward, but not blunt; uncomplicated, but not simplistic Plain spoken: straightforward, but not blunt; uncomplicated, but not simplistic Earnest: sincere and thoughtful but not zealous or intense Efficient: good results with little or no waste; simplified processes Flexible: adaptive to changing requirements; agility These aspects were considered in developing a design utilizing fundamental architectural components that most directly impact customers: - Prominent and carefully placed exterior signage. - A clear and inviting entrance. - Transparent visibility into the community room and the main lobby. - A prominent statement at the most visible building corner emphasizing the exterior signage and the com- munity room. - A sheltering and inviting entrance canopy with an arrival experience that draws the customer into the main lobby. -A simple clarity of the building elements - community room, public banking spaces, back of house service functions, drive up banking, vestibule entrance. The Edina branch design uses the community room as a transparent glass feature that anchors the most visible corner and provides a prominent display of the bank logo signage on backlit white glass above the windows to the interior. This glass box is linked to the rest of the building by a sheltering canopy at the main entrance vestibule. The wood soffit up the canopy is warm and inviting. It extends through the vestibule into the interior, where additional warm materials establish a relaxed and friendly character. The main lobby is animated by the intelligent teller machines, a coffee café seating area, the digital discovery table and the modern teller pods. Large windows provide transparency from the street and from the parking areas into this active public space. The main building is a simple rectangle including the main lobby, office areas and back of house service spaces. The linear floor plan lends itself to prototypical application by allowing the building to be larger or smaller through adjusting the length. Material palettes have been developed to allow flexibility of architec- tural exterior expression to blend with adjacent architectural context or express a proper regional/local char- acter. 17 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE PLAN: The landscape and hardscape elements are woven through the site to create a human-scaled, enticing, yet comfortable pedestrian experience. - Native plantings throughout site create a low maintenance, attractive greenspace. - Rain garden runs parallel with France Ave and acts as both a buffer from the adjacent traffic and a functional means of managing on-site storm water. Rain garden also provides an educational opportunity to highlight the City of Edina’s laudable goals for environmental stewardship. - Stepping stone “bridges” provide means of traversing raingarden. - Stone boulders placed in landscaped area along France create sculptural areas of interest. - Smaller boulders are placed to create seating clusters along meandering path. - Trellis along building façade shades and defines seating areas. - Landscaped areas create publicly accessible gathering areas while also serving to activate retailers’ street-facing façades. 3D VIEW 18 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE SECTIONS LEVEL 6 60’ - 0” OFFICE PENTHOUSE 140’ - 0” FRANCE AVE SETBACK50’ - 0” INTERIOR NORTH-SOUTH STREET RESIDENTIAL TOWER PENTHOUSE 280’ - 0” LEVEL 6 60’ - 0” OFFICE PENTHOUSE 140’ - 0” FRANCE AVE SETBACK 50’ - 0” INTERIOR NORTH-SOUTH STREET RESIDENTIAL TOWER PENTHOUSE 280’ - 0” BUILDING HEIGHTS: SITE A: RESIDENTIAL TOWER OVERALL HEIGHT: 280’ -0” SITE B: OFFICE TOWER OVERALL HEIGHT: 140’ -0” SITE C: RESIDENTIAL BUILDING OVERALL HEIGHT: 77’ -0” SITE D: US BANK BRANCH OVERALL HEIGHT: 24’ -0” 19 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE SECTIONS OFFICE LEVEL 6 OFFICE PENTHOUSE 140’ - 0” 60’ - 0” INTERIOR EAST-WEST STREET RESIDENTIAL TOWER PENTHOUSE 280’ - 0” RESIDENTIAL BUILDING 77’ - 0” BANK BUILDING 24’ - 0” RESIDENTIAL TOWER LEVEL 5 50’ - 0” INTERIOR EAST-WEST STREET RESIDENTIAL TOWER PENTHOUSE 280’ - 0” RESIDENTIAL BUILDING 77’ - 0” BUILDING HEIGHTS: SITE A: RESIDENTIAL TOWER OVERALL HEIGHT: 280’ -0” SITE B: OFFICE TOWER OVERALL HEIGHT: 140’ -0” SITE C: RESIDENTIAL BUILDING OVERALL HEIGHT: 77’ -0” SITE D: US BANK BRANCH OVERALL HEIGHT: 24’ -0” 20 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM SOUTHWEST 21 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM NORTHEAST 22 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM SOUTHEAST 23 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM ABOVE 24 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM NORTHWEST 25 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM WEST 26 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM SOUTH 27 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM EAST 28 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 VIEW FROM NORTH 29 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 PRECEDENT IMAGES 30 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 PRECEDENT IMAGES 31 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 PRECEDENT IMAGES 32 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 PRECEDENT IMAGES 33 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 PRECEDENT IMAGES 34 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SITE CONNECTIONS DIAGRAMFRANCE AVE 70TH S T R E E T GALLE R I A HAZEL T O N R O A D PEDESTRIAN NETWORKPEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS GREEN SPACE 35 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 NSCALE: 1/32” = 1’-0” STREET LEVEL & LEVEL 1 PLAN RESIDENTIAL LOBBY & AMENITY UTILITY PADSGREEN BOULEVARD & STORTM WATER MEDIANSIGNATURE RETAIL ENTRY PLAZA US BANK 70TH STREET WEST FRANCE AVENUE SOUTHRAMP DOWN LIVE WORK UNITS LEVEL 1 LOBBY & AMENTIES LEVEL 1 (TO RESIDENTIAL PARKING) RESIDENTIAL PARKING LEVEL 1 20 STALLS UTILITYP PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TRASH/ RECYCL CONNECTION TO EDINA PROMENADE RETAIL DROP OFF GREEN BOULEVARD & STORM WATER MEDIANTO OFFICE PARKINGSIGNATURE RETAIL LEVEL 0.5 19,700 SF TO RETAIL & EXEC.

Stormwater will be addressed with a combination of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and creative Low-Impact Development (LID) components. High-performance storm control engineering, including green roofs, pervious pavers, pixelated parking, paving strip curb alternative and underground retention. As a dense urban site, the developer will deploy as many of these techniques as are possible to exceed 70% TDS capture. Additional “green” features will include the following: • Erosion control measures with resource recovery during construction • Sustainable & recycled construction materials • Low site waste due to panelized construction • Low VOC adhesion materials and paints • Low-E Insulated Glass • Efficient HVAC system(s) • LED fixtures with occupancy & daylighting control lighting • Efficient, high R-value building envelope (roof & walls) • Energy Star Rated Appliances • WaterSense plumbing fixtures with ultra-low water flow rates • Project will be designed to accept a 40 kW PV Solar rooftop system, subject to funding sources • On-site parking for car sharing (i.e. HourCar) • Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations • Storm Water Management through Green Roofs, Green Boulevard and Public Green Space along France The construction program will incorporate the most aggressive panelizing and pre-fabrication meth- ods available to permit faster framing and exterior erection as well as assembly of specialized division- al work such as precast concrete, plumbing, heating and electrical. The pre-fabrication methods we deploy will significantly reduce scrap waste and reduce costs for disposal, landfill and site clean-up. The development team will select a disposal contractor that source separates and recycles construction tonnage rather than landfill discarding, and report tonnage diverted for recycling during construction progress. Located within blocks of many pedestrian and bike trails, this project is primed to support alternative modes of transportation. With a proximity adjacent to many services, copious bike racks and a bike repair station, the project promotes active living in a dense, urban site. 46 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SUSTAINABILITY PROPOSED SUSTAINABILITY APPROACHES STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND OVERFLOW WATER MANAGEMENT Integrated stormwater management and walking paths. Seating areas and signage to educate about key sustainability initiatives. GREEN ROOF Tray sedum integrated with office roofdeck amenity. SOLAR READY Large open roof area for solar ready design and construction. 47 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 WELLNESS OCCUPANT WELLNESS FEATURES OVERVIEW In addition to the sustainability approaches already identified, this development will focus on wellness as a key criterion for success of both the financial and inhabitant program. Access to both daylight and fresh air for occupants of office and residential program will be prioritized, whether from operable win- dows, outdoor balconies, or community outdoor space. Greenspace will be provided in abundance for outdoor activities and programs supporting living and working functions. The mixed-use typology of this program also inherently provides wellness benefits to individuals liv- ing and working within this project. Access to proximate housing, healthy food options, shared fitness facilities as well as a variety of other wellness focused program mean that a balanced lifestyle can be achieved without ever having to enter a car. Additional health centric retail within walking distance further enhances the wellness experience of this project. A comprehensive approach to building envelope performance will also ensure that things like glare and eye strain are managed for office workers, as well as enhanced filtration systems and newly de- fined technologies for control and eradication of virus particulate matter within circulated air are in place to ensure optimal health of building occupants. Materials and finishes will be selected to en- hance cleaning protocols for communal spaces such as building lounges, conferencing spaces and food venues. 48 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 SOUTHDALE VISION FRAMEWORK Architecture Field Office DRAFT for review –May 18, 2017 41 Framework VisionConnections Primary Pedestrian on-grade Connection Skyway Connections GUIDING PRINCIPLES & FRAMEWORK Create a thoughtful site master plan for the new infill development which utilizes and extends the Southdale redevelopment efforts to date to provide a coherent neighborhood scaled street network inspired by traditional urban neighborhoods. Follow the Design Experience Guidelines and Southdale Small Area plan guidance. Architecture and materials will be high quality and meet the standards of nearby projects Parking will be primarily provided below grade and out of sight. Storm water management t and other site environmental design features will conform with best practices and innovations. Green and sustainable building practices will be used in the building design and specifications. FUTURE FLEXIBILITY As the project evolves the Site B location at the northwest block may require flexibility to modify from the initially proposed use of primarily office to multiple or singular different uses other than office. As these become apparent pre or post PUD documents will be revised to reflect this. Any changes that would be made would not alter the overall scope or change the aesthetic direction that is shown in this document. 49 ESG | ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | SKETCH PLAN - 70TH & FRANCE - EDINA, MN | 8.24.2020 THANK YOU! 2200 Zane Ave N | Minneapolis, MN 55422 www.archfieldoffice.com Cary, At your request, we reviewed the Sketch Plan submission for the proposed development at 70th and France (US Bank site) based on our experience working with the Greater Southdale Work Group to craft a physical vision for how their guiding principles may translate to the built environment. We believe many aspects of this plan align with the planning and design ideas set forth in the Greater Southdale Experience Guidelines. In particular, we note the following positive attributes: • Complete block grid with defined streets and public realm. • Superblock access at France Avenue and West 70th with direct access into parking. • Building heights and stepbacks at the building setback line along France Avenue and West 70th meet the intent of the typologies at the face of the public realm. • Buildings developed to the street, throughout the development. • Mix of programs that promote a holistic approach to communitywide development. • Parking is, in part, below grade, screened at grade within building footprints and above the first floor. • Massing of the podium buildings fit with general setbacks to create a good pedestrian environment. • Transparency at the street level. • Beyond the bank being constructed as the first phase, it appears the construction for the remainder of the development is envisioned to be undertaken as a single phase. We do have a few comments related to the details set forth in the plan as they relate to the urban design chapter of the Greater Southdale District Plan and the Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines. While the Guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive, they were developed as a result of many meetings over several years with the community, city staff, and city officials, and were developed to bind the Greater Southdale District “Public Realm” together. As such, they require a level of compliance—particularly along transition areas, major streets, avenues and boulevards. Our comments are based on the visual information provided to the City by ESG, Mortenson, and Orion Investments. We have provided corresponding diagrams that are meant to illustrate one possible To City of Edina Cary Teague, Community Development Director 4801 W. 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 From Mic Johnson, FAIA Date September 4, 2020 2 means (among many) for the proposal to more closely convey the spirit of the Greater Southdale District Experience Guidelines. Our evaluations always begin with the 200x200 foot grid, below and above grade parking, mixed use office and housing zones, public realm places, and street room typologies as means of understanding 1) how the proposal connects with both existing buildings and in the future, with adjacent sites, and 2) the quality of the public realm resulting from the proposal. The following articulates some questions, issues and concerns related to: • Below grade parking • Building program • Street rooms • Facades and France Avenue Boulevard • Parking structure and views from the Cornelia Neighborhood We have also included as an appendix some pertinent excerpts from the Design Experience Guidelines related to: Typology 1A and 2 Cornelia Overlay and Typology 3 New Local Streets. 3 Below Grade Parking Per the Design Experience Guidelines: all parking, other than short-term retail or guest parking, and building services need to be located below grade or hidden within the building. If on ground level or above, parking and/or building services must be surrounded on all sides by program space such as commercial or housing. Vehicular access to the buildings should be as close as possible to primary superblock streets. 1. Can the below parking be expanded into the unexcavated portion of the site under the podium of the housing? 2. Can the below-grade parking be expanded into the unexcavated portion of the site under the new streets? 3. Could the addition of areas 1 and 2 reduce the requirement to have on grade parking under the housing podium and the office podium? 4. Meeting the intent of the guidelines to have no on grade parking on the ground floor facing the public realm would create and more enliven sense of “”street room” as a pedestrian-oriented space. 5. Having a continuous parking level under the office, tower housing and workforce housing would build in flexibility to support changes in the district related to the amount and kinds of parking requirements that will be needed in the future. 4 Building Program and Public Realm Experience One of the goals of the Experience Guidelines is to provide continuity in programming along both sides of the street. For the pedestrian, this creates a sense of how the public realm will be used and a more integrated experience. Programs that complement each other along and across the street reinforce the identity of the street room and provide clues to how adjacent or new streets can connect. The above diagram is somewhat predicated on the expansion of below grade parking as suggested the Below Grade Parking diagram. 1. The premise of this diagram is based on expanded below-grade parking, which would allow like program elements to have better proximity to each other. Areas labeled with a 1 provide dedicated to access to parking and building services. 2. Areas shaded in blue denote expanded retail areas that further define the north/south street to characterize it as a “shopping street.” 3. Green areas between the workforce housing and the tower podium denote the potential location of townhouses, which would better would frame the block’s residential purpose. 4. The footprint of the workforce housing does not align with the podium of the housing to the north. This appears to compromise the current public realm development and future expansion of this important north/south pedestrian connection. 5. There is no substantial screening for the Bank’s on-grade parking or drive-through. 5 Street Rooms A primary intent of the Guidelines is for streets to have a distinct street room character. As the district develops, added program elements can stretch a street’s identity throughout the district, thereby strengthening the character of the street and providing greater clarity of purpose for residents and visitors alike. It also means fewer cars and on-grade parking stalls along streets that are more residential in nature. Below is a series of questions not answered in the text or diagrams provided that would inform important connections and qualities of each street room ’s pedestrian experience. 1. Primary north/south street: 1.1. Is the primary north/south street connected to the Galleria? 1.2. Would you characterize the street as a shopping street? 1.3. In the proposal, why is this designed as a boulevard street rather than having more landscaping and wider sidewalks to accommodate pedestrian activity? 1.4. When considering the future extension of this street, why is the workforce housing not in alignment with the housing podium to the north? 2. East/west street: 2.1. Is this street defined as a housing street, a connecting street east to the Promenade or a commercial street? 3. Secondary north/south street: 3.1. As a primary connector to the roundabout that allows access from both east and west (and eventual north and south) how is the street vital to the future of the district. 3.2. Is this street defined as a service street or a residential street? 6 Facades and France Avenue Boulevard 1. Sidewalks at or near France Avenue do not encourage pedestrians or provide a comfortable walking experience. Along the District’s primary Boulevards, the Guidelines call for 10- to 12-foot-wide sidewalks that create opportunities for gathering, outdoor cafes, pavilions, etc. They also state that within the 50-foot setback, trees should be planted in a double row to add a strong canopy for pedestrian activity. The France Avenue Boulevard is the primary identity street through the Southdale District. The Experience Criteria has outlined a consistent landscape topology to include a double row of trees with a berm between and with a 12-foot-wide sidewalk close to the building facade to create both a buffer to the traffic and to define places for “pools of activity.” The berm could also be a depression for storm water runoff. This experience should extend to include the new Bank building as well. 2. The Guidelines state that no building façade can be longer than 200’ without changing direction by a minimum of 90 degrees. W hile we realize that block configuration and size will vary, the experience at the street should still be considered, where changes in facade articulation, major entries, pocket parks, etc. could be used to break up the long facade of a building. 3. The Guidelines state that the width of new local streets within a superblock, and the corresponding building form is based on the nature of the uses within the larger superblock structure. Streets can be lined with a mix of uses, including residential, commercial, or retail. By identifying complementary uses for streets such as a “Residential Street” or a “Shopping Street” reinforces how the street room may be used. In number 3 above the street has been designed with residential on the south side and retail on the north creating narrow sidewalks for the residential tower and diagonal parking for the retail. The guidelines have called for parallel parking for drop off and short term parking. Changing the retail to housing as suggested in the Building Program diagram would create a quieter residential street with more landscape and places for people to meet, sit and enjoy their neighborhood. 7 Parking Structure and Views from the Cornelia Neighborhood The Guidelines state that all facades on the first vertical 60 feet of a building (above grade) shall use natural materials facing the public realm. Above 50-60 feet, glass, precast panels with brick/tile are the preferred material palette. Metal panel can be used as a secondary part of a wall system. We note the above two criteria as glass walls and screens that are similar for parking will be used on the office building. These stated materials are not what is intended in the guideline below the 60 feet podium height. All parking, other than short-term retail or guest parking, and building services need to be located below grade or hidden within the building. If on ground level or above, parking and/or building services must be surrounded on all sides by program space such as commercial or housing. This criteria is crucial for the district to create a consistent pedestrian experience, particularly on the major corridors such as France Avenue and W est 70th Street. The current four-story screened parking structure does not meet the intent of the guidelines . However the diagram above shows an approach that may satisfy part of the criterion with a six story parking structure above the ground floor, creating a 60-foot wide liner building along France Avenue. The height of the overall building does not essentially change, nor does the desired 150,000 gross SF. Typology 2: Cornelia Overlay Zone. As a reflection of the scale of buildings east of the West Promenade in Street Room Typology 1A, Typology 2 extends the scale of this potential new development to the east side of France Avenue from Gallagher Drive to south of 68th Street. This strategy is intended to frame the street room experience along this corridor with similarly scaled buildings that are respectful of the nearby single family neighborhoods. The goal is to establish this zone along France as a more commercially-focused corridor (rather than residential) while employing similar height buildings as on the west side of France within the Cornelia transition zone We understand that building heights are a concern to residents of the Cornelia neighborhood. As we discussed in our many worksessions with the Work Group and neighborhood stakeholders, the framework of transition zones, street typologies, building podium height and step backs set forth in the Expereince Guidelines all were designed to mitigate the visual 8 impact of new development on residential neighborhoods and the public realm of major avenues and streets within the district, such as France Avenue and West 70th. The blue triangle in the diagram above depicts the sight lines from the west side of the France Avenue. At the 50’ setback, “Sight Line A” indicates the extent that the office building will be seen above the 60’ podium, plus another stepback of 10’ up to a height of 84’. “Sight Line B” indicates what will be seen of the proposed buildings from 400 feet west of the France Avenue 50 foot setback—essentially a block or so west of the proposed West Promenade. W e believe the taller height of the eastern portion of the office building will not be seen from the neighborhood and additionally, has limited impact on the France Avenue experience. The section also points out the importance of the office building having active uses below the 60’ height limit from the cornice to the street rather than screening. As it relates to the height of the housing tower, we would recommend the architect prepare a sun/shadow study to determine the impact of the tower’s height and massing on West 70th Street, the Galleria and the public realm during winter months. It is the goal of the Experience Guidelines to emphasize year-round experience and activities—meaning that winter shadow on the public realm must be considered as it plays an essential role in the quality of the public realm experience. The current orientation of the tower would cast a winter shadow on the street and the Galleria from late fall to early spring. If the tower were rotated by 90 degrees so that its axis ran north-south rather than west-east, the impact of its shadow would be lessened. Moving the tower to the south end of the residential building would also lessen the impact of the shadow on adjacent properties. As a footnote, we believe a collective spirit amongst all parties – the City, district stakeholders, and the development community – is required to guide land use and development change, to renew, to repurpose, and to redevelop within the Greater Southdale District. This spirit requires an environment of trust and an open review process where many ideas are introduced and diagramme d again and again to arrive at an approach that is quality- and outcome-based, not simply dimensional; an approach that allows for a range of solutions that are architecturally diverse, connected, respectful of the overall context of neighboring sites, and providing an engine for intensive development in support of the Experience Guidelines. We believe that this proposal is a good start at the Sketch Plan Review stage, which is critical to get the experience expectations of the Greater Southdale District community right. W ithout which, the current conditions will prevail, leaving the opportunities vacant and the district left behind. Thank you for the opportunity to review. Please let me know if you have any questions. Mic 9 Appendix: Reference Excerpts from Design Experience Guidelines Typology 1A and 2 Cornelia Overlay The street room experience within Typology 2 will be shaped by the following experience guidelines: • On France Avenue, a 50-foot setback is required from curb to face of building with a building podium height of 60 feet. Above the 60-foot height limit, additional height should step back 10 feet from the face of the building, to a maximum height of 84 feet. • All parking, other than short-term retail or guest parking, and building services need to be located below grade or hidden within the building. If on ground level or above, parking and/or building services must be surrounded on all sides by program space such as commercial or housing. Typology 3 New Local Streets The street room experience within Typology 3 will be shaped by the following experience guidelines: • New local streets should be 60 feet in width. Those streets which carry vehicular traffic should comprise two traffic lanes with two lanes of parking or pick-up/drop-off. Sidewalks should be located on each side of these vehicular streets as illustrated in the diagram above. • Minimizing vehicular access to provide drop off, service and parking can be planned to share the vehicular needs of blocks allowing the remaining spaces between the remaining blocks to be used in a variety of ways for the benefit of the community. This “space between” buildings can be transformed into pocket parks, gardens, play areas, plazas, wetlands, and many other activities that support the health and wellbeing of the community. • Building podium heights can vary, from 36 feet up to 60 feet. 10 • Above the 60 foot height limit, the long sides of a rectangular or “L” shaped building need to step back 20 feet from the street room facade (as illustrated in the building at left in the diagram above), and the narrow ends need to step back 2 feet from the street room facade (building at right in diagram above). This minimizes the impact of the taller building form on sunlight at the street, and provides a lower-scale building at the street, resulting in a more cohesive and comfortable pedestrian experience. The footprint on taller residential buildings should not exceed 12,000 SF, while taller commercial buildings are permitted larger footprints of up to 24,000 SF for efficient space utilization. • All parking, other than short-term retail or guest parking, and building services need to be located below grade or hidden within the building.
