I N TR O D U C TI O N: A 12.5 -foot variance to the 25-foot rear yard setback requirement allowing an addition to replace a deck at 4353 Oakdale Ave. AT TAC HME N T S: Description Staff Report Engineering Memo Site Location Narrative Survey Plans SWMP Better Together Public Hearing Comment Report Staff Pres entation July 15, 2022 PLANNING COMMISSION Kris Aaker, Assistant City Planner B-22-13, A 12.5 -foot variance to the 25-foot rear yard setback requirement allowing an addition to replace a deck at 4353 Oakdale Ave. Information / Background: Chisel Architecture has submitted a 12.5-foot variance request for rear yard setback from the 25- foot requirement. The variance requested is for an addition to the back of the home built in 2016 to replace an existing deck. The applicant is requesting to add a 246 sq ft porch/dining room addition with basement bedroom to the back of the home, into the rear yard, while removing a larger 363 sq ft deck, (reducing the size of deck area replacing with smaller addition). The property is currently at 31.5% coverage, 1.5% or 95.4 sq ft over the maximum allowable building coverage of 30%. The proposed project will reduce coverage to comply with the maximum 30% or 1,923 sq ft and match the existing rear yard setback of the deck. The proposal will reduce existing coverage and move the property into coverage compliance. The deck behind the back wall of the home is at 12.5 feet to the rear lot line; and in compliance with the minimum 5-foot rear yard setback requirement for decks. The proposal is to reduce the required 25-foot setback for building area to match the existing deck setback from the rear lot line. Decks can be a minimum of 5 feet to the side or rear lot line, however, all portions of the principal structure must be no closer than 25 feet to the back lot line. Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Single Unit residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential. Easterly: Single Unit residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential. Southerly: Single Unit residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential. Westerly: Single Unit residential homes; zoned and guided low-density residential. STAFF REPORT Page 2 Existing Site Features The existing 6,412 square foot lot is improved with a home built in 2016 and is located on the east side of Oakdale Ave. The lot today is at 31.5% building coverage. The existing house accounts for 26.13% of the lot coverage with the existing 363 sq ft deck pushing the property over the 30% maximum. The requested proposal decreases the building coverage to comply. The existing home is conforming to the minimum 25-foot setback from the rear lot line. The lot depth is 80 feet and is much shallower than the minimum 120-foot depth required, limiting any opportunity to maintain the rear yard setback. Planning Guide Plan designation: Low-Density Residential Zoning: R-1, Single-Dwelling District Grading & Drainage The Engineering Department has reviewed the subject property for street and utility concerns, grading, storm water, erosion, and sediment control. An Engineering memo is attached. Compliance Table Principal Structure (House) City Standard Proposed North Side – South Side - East Rear - West Front – 10 feet 10 feet 25 feet 26.4 feet 9.7 feet existing 10.1 feet existing 12.5 feet* 26.6 feet existing Building Coverage 30% 31.5% existing 29.9% *Requires a variance PRIMARY ISSUES & STAFF RECOMENDATION 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: STAFF REPORT Page 3 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. The proposed use is permitted in the R-1 Single Dwelling Unit District and the proposed addition complies with zoning standards except for the east rear yard setback requirement. The addition replaces a deck and will improve on the building coverage. The practical difficulty is caused by the existing location of the home and the required setbacks given the shallow lot depth. The original home placement in 2016 was limited given the shallow lot depth and required front yard and side setbacks. 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-created? The shallow lot depth and limited design opportunities was not self-created by the applicant. The proposed addition conforms to all other zoning standards except for rear yard setback and will match the existing east setback of a deck. The addition will be smaller than the existing deck, improving on building coverage to conform with the maximum allowable 30% lot area. . 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 conform to the ordinance requirements with exception of the deck replacement with living space. The addition will not be visible from the street. Recommended Action: Staff supports the variance as requested for a rear yard setback variance at 4353 Oakdale Ave. Staff believes there are unique circumstances to the subject property. Staff’s recommendation for approval of the requested variance is based on the following findings: Variances must be based on the unique characteristics of a lot with the shallow lot depth unique causing difficult design challenges that are not self-created by the applicant. Approving the variances, allows the building coverage to reduce and conform to the maximum allowable 30% lot area. The proposed addition is smaller than the existing deck and conforms to all other zoning standards except for rear yard setback but will match the existing east setback of a deck. STAFF REPORT Page 4 Deadline for a city decision August 12, 2022. DATE: 6/16/2022 TO: Cary Teagu e – Plan ning Director FROM: Zuleyka Marquez, PE – Graduate Engineer Mattias Oddsson – Engineering Intern RE: 4353 Oakdale Ave - Variance Review The Engineering Department has reviewed the subject property for street and u tility concerns, grading, storm water, erosion and sediment control and for general adherence to the relevant ordinance sections. This review was performed at the req uest of the Planning Department; a more detailed review will be performed at the time of building permit application. Plans reviewed included a proposed survey, elevations, and floor plans stamped 6/13/22. The request if for a variance to the rear yard setback req uirement. Summary of Work The applicant proposes to remove the existing rear deck and a main and lower -level addition in its place. Easements No comment. Grading and Drainage Site drains to private property and a landlocked basin to the southeast. Generally, existing drainage patterns are maintained in the proposed conditions. Stormwater Mitigation The project proposes an increase in impervious surface from 2,636 sq. ft. to 2,980 sq. ft., mitigated by the constru ction of an infiltration trench. The infiltration trench reduces runoff rate in the 10 and 100-year events. Floodplain Development The nearby 1% annual chance floodplain with an elevation of 910.6’ sets the lowest opening elevation (LOE) requirement of no less than 912.6’. The onsite grading is well above that. At permit, survey to include proposed LOE to confirm compliance. Erosion and Sediment Control The erosion and sediment control plan is consistent with the Building Policy SP -002. Street, Driveway Entrance, Public Utilities No comment. Miscellaneous A watershed d istrict permit may be required , applicant will need to verify with the district. A well may be located onsite. Original structure built 1939. Watermain as-built dated 1977. Thus, coordination with Minnesota Department of Health may be required . A search within in the proposed addition’s footprint may be required.

Best Family Residence DEPARTMEN Chisel Architecture PLLC submits this variance application on behalf of Jen & Mitch Best, owners of 4353 Oakdale Avenue South in Edina, Minnesota 55424. Their family home currently has an attached rear deck with pergola and privacy wall. We wish to fully enclose this space to allow for a functionally-sized Dining Room on the main level. In the process, we will bring the property's lot coverage into compliance with current zoning standards by reducing this structure's footprint. We repectfully ask for a rear yard setback variance to allow for this single story addition with basement. We collectively affirm that the proposed variance will: • Relieve practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable o The property's dimensions, particularly its 80' depth (minimum is 120') combined with the prescribed 25' rear yard setback, makes a complete and functional main level difficult to fit. The house provides the typical rooms and spaces efficiently in a small footprint, however, the dining room is severely undersized and therefore non-functional. The proposed variance will correct for this difficulty and allow space for a properly-sized Dining Room. • Correct extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other properties in the vicinity or zoning district o As mentioned above, the property is significantly undersized in depth & is 33% smaller than the City's prescribed minimum depth. Very few, if any, other properties nearby share such an innate and inflexible condition. • Be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance while also not altering the essential character of the neighborhood o By working within the home's existing architecture, we solve the property's spatial constraints in the most inconspicuous way possible. We would utilize the existing volume of the house's privatized deck and pergola, while reducing the size to bring the property into compliance with its lot coverage (currently at 31.5%; 30% maximum; 29.9% proposed). The proposed design will enhance this single-family dwelling while maintaining and protecting the existing fabric and charm of the surrounding neighborhood. Chisel Architecture, along with Mitch & Jen Best, appreciates the consideration of the Planning Commission for this variance on the prescribed rear yard setback. Many thanks to the Board, the City Staff, and the Bests' neighbors for their time. Sincerely, page 111 Chisel Architecture PLLC 641 E.

This is a relatively new house, replacing an older one. The lot is small compared to nearby lots. The footprint of the new house was much larger than the prior one, and it was much taller. It is likely the exact maximum that code allows on that size property. Edina has code limits on house sizes for good reasons, after much public input. The owners bought the house knowing its size and the lot size. I object to a variance simply because they now want more space. Please deny this variance request.

There are 3 issues from my view. 1. The home they built is 10-15 feet higher than the previous home and covers a huge proportion of the land, probably double the footprint of the previous home. This is rather overpowering for the close neighbors. The city has very loose laws on the amount of land that can be built, but clearly this home is already pushing the limit. With them wanting a basement too, it is just too big for the lot. 2. Does the city have laws about permeable surfaces? With driveway and some concrete in the back, there is no place for water to run. One neighbor, who signed off on the addition to be a good neighbor, spent $2000 mitigating basement water after the build. The neighbor between my home and the Oakdale home has had numerous water issues also. It is not responsible for the city to allow the percentage of basement and cement coverage. 3. When the home was built by the current owners, the original builder could not have received a variance for this additional space including a basement. Also it could not have gotten the variance for the lot line issue. It should not be issued now. Thank you for hearing me.

It has also had other remodeling projects in the last few years. In addition, the streets are being replaced and this has caused considerable inconvenience to residents. All of this construction is excessive and it is impacting the quality of our life in our neighborhood. The construction is loud and the trucks block the streets so that it is difficult to get through. In addition, the house requesting the variance was just built a few years ago. It was a complete tear down and rebuild and took several months. There is too much construction and it would be nice if the neighborhood was quieter. Please limit the construction allowed in our neighborhood.

We are ruining the character of our neighborhood. I look across the street at an absolutely atrocious house and I don't want to look behind me and see nothing but house and building as well.

This lot has almost no green space at the back and sides of this house, without adding more building on this lot. This request could add more concrete and upright walls. Please do not approve this variance request. Thank you.

The current house is already very large for the lot and for the neighborhood. It is already very close to three neighbors' homes and is probably the most crowded area of the neighborhood. The current owners bought this home from the builder and would have known at the time that it was already at the maximum size for the lot. If they wanted a bigger home, I think they should have considered a different neighborhood or lot. The builder would not have been allowed this variance. I do not think this variance should be allowed as it will cause even more crowding in that area of the neighborhood and reduce the quality of life for the immediate neighbors. Thank you.

I'm surprised that it was able to be built on the small lot it sits on. An allowance for an addition will cause this area to be even more crowded and sets a precedent that we don't want in the neighborhood. This is already a dense neighborhood with small lots. If the homeowners wanted a bigger house, they should have built their house in a place with larger lots. 1 Liz Olson From:Kris Aaker Sent:Tuesday, July 12, 2022 2:13 PM To:Liz Olson Subject:FW: 4353 Oakdale Avenue Variance Thoughts From: Joanna Bennett Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2022 2:11 PM To: Kris Aaker <KAaker@EdinaMN.gov> Subject: 4353 Oakdale Avenue Variance Thoughts EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good Afternoon Kris, I am reaching out regarding the variance application for 4353 Oakdale Avenue. I live on Branson Street and received your public notice via post mail during the holiday week of July 4 th. I was not able to reply until now. My concern regarding the variance is the precedent it may create. 4353 Oakdale is a relatively new house. When the house was built, it maxed out the impervious coverage ratio on its relatively small lot. If a variance is allowed here, then why have limits/coverage ratios on lots? Or why not move setbacks to 12.5 feet generally? The City of Edina created said limits/ratios for many reasons. Indeed, it would be disappointing if a variance is granted that negatively affects neighboring properties, particularly in regard to drainage. I personally know many Morningside neighbors whose existing properties have been adversely impacted by new construction and home-builders’ best-laid drainage plans. More often than not, said “drainage plans” don’t work. 4353 Oakdale has relatively less green space to absorb water than most of its other neighbors. Where will the water go? Please take broader neighborhood concerns into consideration. If a house does not fit a family's needs, then perhaps it is not the right house. Our Morningside neighbors have little to no recourse except to appeal to you, the Planning Commission, to protect their property's value from this variance. Thank you. 1 Liz Olson Subject:FW: 4353 Oakdale Ave. Hearing - Questions/Concerns From: Sara Taylor Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2022 1:04 PM To: Liz Olson <LKOlson@EdinaMN.gov> Subject: Fwd: 4353 Oakdale Ave. Hearing - Questions/Concerns EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good Morning Liz, We’d appreciate if you could forward them on to the Planning Committee by way of better together Edina website. Thanks Dear Planning Committee, In following up with Kris Aaker and in respect to your policies and procedures, we wanted to formally express our thoughts regarding the 4353 Oakdale Ave. 12.5-foot variance up for approval. As the neighboring lot of 4353 Oakdale Avenue, we would like to express the following concerns and questions: Concerns: Upon completion of the 4353 residence (2017), there has been a steady/increasing erosion from the home, that has now translated into multiple grading issues and receipt of their landscape/associated debris (see appendix). As a result of this erosion and/grading issue, there continues to be damage to our landscape, soil and retention. Digging required for extension, will amplify current drainage and soil erosion issues. The 4353 residence is currently at/exceeding current capacity restrictions for lot size. Structure as it stands today has already resulted in significant loss of sunlight to our house, yard, and gardens. This addition will amplify this current loss. If approved, this addition, per the Better Together Edina website, would be one of the highest approved rear variances archived that we could see. Plans presented via the original Neighbor Project Review and Sign Off differ from final plans submitted to the planning committee in June resulting in lack of transparency of complete plans (e.g. neighbors unaware of basement component of project). Lastly, it is extremely concerning that on April 10, 2022 one of the owners of 4353 Oakdale Avenue came to our house with the intent of getting a signature from us. They left without a signature and 2 despite knowing/having had communicated our concerns still felt entitled to infer/reflect within the Neighbor Project Review that we were ok with this. Questions: If there is damage to our property, as a result of this drainage plan and/or project, who will pay for it? What is the contingency plan? What assurances can the City provide (in writing) that the project will not result in additional/increased property damage? Historically, how successful has the drainage trench that is proposed be used (if approved) been in reference to drainage issues? Who will monitor this trench and what measures will be in place to ensure that it remains intact? Will there be a sump pump in the basement? If so, where will this drain to? This request appears to be on the higher end of archived of rear setbacks, what factors has the Planning Commission considered when granting setback reductions? How does this request meet those factors? How would the approval of such a steep reduction, benefit current City/Neighborhood residents? As a resident of +10 years who plans to stay in the neighborhood long term, if approved will these types of requests be a precedent for the neighborhood?

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Ms. Kaaker, Although we are not within 200 feet of 4353 Oakdale Avenue, we do live nearby (just one house over from the notification distance) and it was brought to our attention yesterday that there is a request for a variance at this property. We carefully studied the existing footprint (which is already in violation of the 30% hard scape requirement), and the proposed changes. This is already a huge house at 4400 square feet, and we have significant concerns about both the current and proposed footprints, particularly regarding water drainage. With climate change making extreme weather more likely, we believe flooding will become even a larger risk for this and adjacent properties if this variance is approved. And as more neighborhood tear downs occur in the future with additional supersized houses taking their place, water drainage will become an even bigger problem. Looking at the existing floor plan for the house, there appears to be more than enough space for a dining room within the current structure. So please accept this as a formal vote in opposition of the variance request. Sincerely, Mark and Ruth Valgemae 4315 Oakdale Ave S Edina 1 Liz Olson From:Kris Aaker Sent:Monday, July 11, 2022 8:39 AM To:lane ayres Cc:Liz Olson Subject:RE: Variance request Dear Lane, See my responses in red below.

Hi Kris, thanks for explaining the process to me and for the half day extension of the deadline for comments on the variance request at 4353 Oakdale. I think a couple more neighbors were able to respond. There are 2 or 3 neighbors who were out of town this past short holiday week. When we talked after our email exchange you said neighbors could still email you until before the July 13 hearing. I have a couple of questions. 1. Can they do that through business hours on Tuesday the 12th, or when in order to get the info to commission members? Send emails to me before 4:30 tomorrow, (Tuesday), and they can be forwarded to the Planning Commission/put in the packet. Email addresses will be redacted. 2. At least one of the 2 nextdoor neighbors who signed the form the owners showed them have concerns but want to try to maintain a 2 neighborly relation with folks they share a property line with. Can comments be submitted in a way that the owner will not know of the comment? Information submitted to the city is public information and may be accessed and reviewed by the public. The purpose of holding a public hearing on a matter heard by the Planning Commission is to give the public an opportunity to speak on an issue in an open forum. The city requests identification as part of all means of communication regarding a public hearing. Thanks Kris. I have a tiny understanding now that your job has difficult parts to it!

Okay this is my only concern.. my only concern is they're already having water problems based on the east side of their home and their adjoining neighbors are already having water problems so before that is approved I would think that it would be helpful for the source of that water to be determined before anything is given an approval. They have like no land left on their lot. It used to be that you know you we would keep some some of our land not covered by cement. We're just wondering if maybe because they had a really deep foundation that they may have hit the water source under water.

The proposed location in the northeast quadrant of the mall is currently a surface lot parking and a bus transit station. The applicants, Life Time and Simon Property group, are proposing a 300-unit, 32 story residential building. The site would be accessed from the mall property by the ring road and would require the relocation of the bus transit station to the north side of the mall property. The building would be set back roughly 140 feet from the curb of York Avenue. The apartment building would be connected to Life Time Fitness by a skyway located on the 3rd level. To accommodate the request the following is required: Site Plan Building Height Variance Building Setback Variance to R-1 Property Parking Stall Variance Conditional Use Permit for Residential Use As with all sketch plan reviews; the Planning Commission is asked to provide non-binding comments and direction on a potential future development request. Areas of focus should be on the proposed building height, the Southdale design experience guidelines, and how this proposal fits in to the surrounding area. Because this parcel is part of the Greater Southdale District, Mic Johnson of AFO, the City’s consultant has provided his review of the project. (See attached.) Mr. Johnson has raised concerns and provided some recommendations on development of the site including reducing the footprint of the building and creating three building pads, to closer resemble the recommended 200 x 200-foot blocks; and designing the buildings at street level to more closely resemble the street typologies recommended in the Southdale design experience guidelines. The applicant has responded to the review by Mic Johnson. (See attached response.) City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 General information and considerations for discussion: CAC, Community Activity Center. The following is the land use description for CAC, Community Activity Center (which this site is guided) in the Comprehensive Plan: “Contains larger scale uses, height and coverage. Primary uses: Retail, office, lodging, entertainment, and residential uses, combined or in separate buildings. Secondary uses: Institutional and recreational. Buildings should be placed in appropriate proximity to streets to create pedestrian scale. Buildings may “step down" at boundaries with lower-density districts and upper stories “step back" from street. More stringent design standards for larger buildings. Emphasize pedestrian circulation; re-introduce finer- grained circulation patterns where feasible.” Zoning. The site is zoned PCD-3; apartments are a conditionally permitted use within the PCD-3 District. Residential Density. The Southdale site is 79.44 acres in size. There are 232 units at the Southdale One Apartments; therefore, with the added 300 units proposed the overall density would be 7 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan allows for up to 150 units per acre on the site. Affordable Housing. The applicant is not proposing to include affordable housing units within the project, they are proposing the buy in amount ($100,000 per affordable unit) for the City of Edina to put toward affordable housing in another location in the City. Building Height. The proposed building height is 32 stories and 400 feet tall; City Code requirement is 12 stories and 144 feet. The Southdale area design experience guidelines contemplate greater height in this exact area in between France and York Avenues. Edina City Code requires buildings over nine stories to be setback six times the height of the building from R-1 zoned property. This 400-foot-tall building would require a 2,400-foot setback to the nearest R-1 property or single-family home lot. The nearest lots are 854 feet to the east in the City of Richfield, and 2,132 feet to the west in the City of Edina. (See attached map.) Building Materials & Facades. Buildings must be made of natural materials (stone, brick) on the first vertical 60 feet of a building, and first floor ceiling heights must be 20 feet tall. As suggested in the Southdale Design Experience Guidelines and by City Code; all new front building facades that face the public realm must have 75 percent transparency (ability to see inside the building) at the ground level. When designing the final plans, the “street typologies” suggested in the Design Experience Guidelines should be more closely considered, especially on the south and west sides of the building. Parking ramp/liner buildings. As recommended in the design experience guidelines, the parking would be hidden on the north and east side of the building by apartment units. (See the attached first floor plan.) These are the areas facing outward toward the public green space. The parking ramp on the south and west side of the building faces the parking lot to the south and Southdale to the west. This area on the south side of the development slopes downward toward Southdale mall. There is a skyway connection to the Lifetime Club on the 3rd level. The proposed tower does sit on a podium as recommended in the design guidelines and does step back on the north and east side of the building. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Pedestrian Connections. Pedestrian sidewalks are proposed on all sides of the building, including connections from the proposed building and Southdale outward through the proposed public park/public realm areas to the Southdale Center perimeter sidewalk along York. A public use easement should be established over the proposed park areas. Sustainability. Any submittal for a rezoning will require compliance with the City’s Sustainability Policy. Traffic & Parking Study. Would be required as part of any formal application. The proposed parking would be considered as part of the entire Southdale site. The housing project on its own would-be code compliant with the parking within the building, however, parking stalls would be removed that are required as part of the Southdale Shopping Center. Variances have been granted over the years for the Southdale Center with the development around the perimeter of Southdale. A parking variance for Southdale Center would be required. Metro Transit Station Relocation. This project would require the relocation of the Metro Transit Station. The preliminary relocation site is on the Southdale Center site, west of the Firestone building. The applicant and the City of Edina have begun the discussions with Metro Transit on the relocation. The table on the following page demonstrates how the proposal would comply with the PCD- 3 Zoning District standards, and the designated future land use plan in the Comprehensive Plan. Please note that variances would be required centered around the height of the building.

Life Time Living Edina will be an approximately 300-unit luxury high-rise housing project nested in the heart of the existing Southdale Mall, directly adjacent to the existing Life Time Athletic Resort and Life Time Work facilities. The newly imagined, active campus at Southdale will become the premier health and wellness destination in the Midwest. Life Time at Southdale: Life Time activated Southdale Mall in 2019 by redeveloping the JC Penney building into a premier athletic resort with a full array of amenities and services and with Life Time Work. The integration of co-working, paired with an active fitness center and rooftop beach resort, provides the community with healthy food options, personal training, physical therapy, chiropractic and physical care programs, a full-service Life Time Spa, recovery areas and a range of working spaces. These assets, combined with this proposed high quality residential tower, will create this iconic healthy village in Edina. Existing Site: This project will be an integration focused infill redevelopment, which will replace the existing surface lot in the northeast quadrant of Southdale Mall. Existing site conditions include a vast, fully hardscaped, under- utilized commercial parking lot and a bus rapid transit station. The site edges today consist of the side of an exposed above grade parking structure, the side yard and service corridor of the Life Time Fitness Center, a mall entry, the side yard of the former (now vacant) Herberger’s store, and the transitional berm between two levels of grade change. Building Design: The building design fundamental urban design principals, with a focus on pedestrian scale at grade through a 3-4 story podium design that matches the height and mass of the buildings directly adjacent to it. Street facing and front yard facades line the parking structure with residential scale walk up units and active lobby, leasing and amenity features. The tower is set back from the podium, exposed fully only at the base of a courtyard at the predominant corner, as a move to architectural emphasize the grandeur of the building. The podium and tower building design balances sensitivity to the fabric of the surrounding neighborhood and the Life Time aesthetic through similar light colored, quality masonry materials at the podium, with a scale appropriate, contemporary glass tower. The tower envelop will explore a blend of glass and metal panel, prioritizing access to daylight and views and visual architectural interest. Key architectural features of the proposed tower design include a continuous ribbon of accent color metal panel running vertically and horizontally up and around the building, mid-point two-story penthouse units on the NE and SW corners, architectural lighting, and a beacon corner building cap. The project will contain public and private parking, site amenities, a grand two-story lobby and leasing center, a notable building entrances with a porte cochere, bike storage and bike amenities with direct access to grade, an expansive outdoor amenity pool terrace on the roof of the podium, and a sky lounge with an outdoor terrace at the top of the building. Development Goals: This project strategically addresses numerous City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and Greater Southdale District Plan goals. Most notably: Improvements to vehicular circulation the modification of the existing one-way ring road system to a more fluid and logical two-way system with revised access points into the Mall and site. Increased access to and emphasis on public transportation through the relocation of the existing transit center to align with the future bus rapid transit line that connects through Fairview Hospital. De-prioritization of vehicular use through the rightsizing of parking. Acting as a catalyst for connectivity, by breaking the internal Southdale Center site into smaller city blocks from the center of the site, setting the stage for continued connections between this development and the site amenities it is providing and the rest of the larger Edina Southdale region. Bike and pedestrian centric design with intentional building programming for ease of access to bikes and thoughtful pedestrian connection from various sides of the building for all-season access to surrounding mall and Life Time services. Sustainability initiatives, such as stormwater management, and a substantial increase in site permeability through large landscaped open green space with native, low-maintenance landscaping. Providing public site amenities such as outdoor recreational or event space and a pet park. Fostering health and wellness-based education with flexible outdoor space that can be used for Life Time and community-based fitness programs.

The Framework Building Blocks to Support the Vision THE 200’x200’ GRID There is an expectation of the street grid: it is democratic, it is uniform, it is connective. The uniform grid and the buildings that line the grid give the city its form. The space between buildings is used for access for pedestrians and vehicles; for entrance into both public and private buildings; and to provide light, air, and common green or social spaces. To break down the scale of the ‘superblocks’ that currently characterize the district’s overall land use framework, three distinct street grid patterns were considered, to inform what how the Greater Southdale District might transform into a more uniform and connected community. Small Portland blocks (200’ x 200’) were compared to the long blocks of New York City (200’x600’) and the larger square blocks of Minneapolis (350’ x350’). The Work Group focused on Portland as a model because of its walkability, and the scale of its buildings resulting from the 200 foot restriction on the length of building elevations fronting the public realm. Further studies analyzed land ownership patterns, size of property and generally how connections could made through the superblocks. It was concluded that the 200’ x200’ foot system was more adaptable to variety of site conditions supporting a more engaging public realm and opportunities for a better community experience. Considerations Width of street Sunlight in public spaces View corridors Building scale – height, length and footprint Transparency at street level Landscape, lighting and street furniture Streets and public realm paving Courtyards and pocket parks Cultural context – pride of place, historical framework Framework Vision: Block Organization Based on the Portland 200’ x 200’ square block layout This diagram overlays the general dimensions of the Portland block model on our primary test sites. Based on existing conditions, variations can occur in the nominal 200 by 200 square grid.

It is recognized that land ownership will influence the ultimate form of the grid. Other considerations influencing block pattern: • Building scale • Public realm connections • Connections through blocks • Pedestrian-oriented street intersections The Space Between Buildings As a result of the 200’ x 200’ block pattern, the space between buildings becomes an important asset in shaping the overall sense of landscape and continuity of public realm throughout the district. Because the superblocks have primary responsibility for serving the vehicular traffic needs of the district, access to the smaller blocks for drop-off, service and parking can be planned to stay at the perimeter of a block, allowing for the spaces between the remaining block to be used for a network of green spaces that support the health and wellbeing of the community. c 180,000 200,000 180,000 200,000 v The Space between Buildings: As a result of the 200x200 foot block pattern is the space between building that becomes an important asset to the overall sense of landscape throughout the district.

Creating internal pedestrian walkways, with accommodation for bicycles and potentially cars, combined with existing public and private infrastructure, supports connections within and outside the block. The width of these new local streets, 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. They contain shady places to walk the dog or sit and have a coffee connecting to neighborhood parks, places of worship, and schools. Unique to the Greater Southdale District, some of these local streets may become linear parks between buildings, with vehicular access limited only to emergency responders.

Unique to the Greater Southdale District, many of the Connector Streets may become entirely devoted to landscaping. B 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. • 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. 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 (e.g. Typology 4 or 5). Dimensional Characteristics of Street Room Typology 3 New Local Streets Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 32 Street Room Typology 5 The Boulevards Streets that are included in this typology include the primary district boulevards such as France Avenue, York Avenue, W 66th Street and W 77th Street. In addition to being the widest streets in the district, they also currently carry a high volume of vehicular traffic. The intent of this typology is to create streets that connect the Greater Southdale District to the larger Edina community. These commercially-focused streets will reinforce the district’s unique role in serving Edina’s neighborhoods, while at the same time, recognizing that the district has a role in the broader metropolitan region—providing employment, health, retail, entertainment, and a wide range of housing options. The streets that fall into Typology 5 will have the greatest impact in conveying the overall identity of the district, with wide, multi-use streetscapes lined with a double row of trees within a consistent 50-foot setback. Medians may also be present in the boulevard streetscape to accommodate plantings and/or mass transit lines and stations. In many cases, boulevards will be adjacent to the tallest buildings in the district and will be the locations for transit stops.

This consistency in building heights along the street will form the edge of the street room—bridging between lower intensity and transitional areas, and the higher intensity zones within the Greater Southdale District. The street room experience within Typology 5 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 minimum building height of 60 feet (diagram at left). Above that 60 foot height, the building face should step back two feet to create a cornice line, and can then extend to 105 feet. Above 105 feet, building faces must step back an additional 10 feet (as illustrated in diagram at right, above.) • Building podiums along these streets need to maintain as closely as possible the 60-foot height limit while still adhering to the guidance of 75% of building face at the setback line to create the fundamental experience of the street room. • 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. • Parking and building services should not be accessed via these streets. • Incorporate 10- to 12-foot wide sidewalks that create opportunities for gathering, outdoor cafes, pavilions, etc. • Within the 50-foot setback, trees should be planted in a double row to add a strong canopy for pedestrian activity.

This Central Spine also extends the existing Promenade north through the Galleria and Southdale Center, and north across a future green lid over Highway 62 to Strachauer Park. The Central Promenade Spine traverses through a variety of building types, ranging from townhouses to multi-family housing, to low scale commercial/retail buildings, to mid-rise office buildings. As the physical form of buildings along this spine evolves, natural sunlight light and limited shadow will determine the experiential use of the space. Creating maximum height of 36 feet at its edges will support a mix of uses fronting the spine. Height above this 36 foot limit will step back from the building face, maximizing the program of new buildings rising along its edges without compromising the experience of walking and biking through a park- like environment Transition Zones 1A West Promenade 1B West Promenade (South) 1C East Promenade 2 Cornelia Overlay 3 New Local Streets 4 Primary East-West Streets 5 Boulevards 6Central Promenade Spine NPARKLAWN AVE.76TH STREETMINNESOTA DR.GALLAGHER DR.72ND STREETHAZELTON RD.70TH STREET69TH STREET66TH STREET65TH STREETFRANCE AVE.

These lower-scale buildings that line the Promenade should reflect its stature as a special community amenity, with a rich variety of architectural experiences that front this park-like environment. • Above 36 feet, buildings shall step back 20 feet to the 60 foot podium height. Above 60 feet, buildings shall step back an additional 20 feet. • Buildings above the 60 foot height limit should be oriented to maximize the amount of sun on the Promenade. • Locations where Typology 6 intersects Typology 4 and 5 are critical to reinforce the idea of the linear public spine that connects this entire district. These intersections are the gateway to the Spine and should have a unique architectural response. • 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.

Every new development begins with the 200’ x 200’ block, or some variation based on context. 2. Every block or building in a development will need streets to connect between buildings. Not all of these streets will need to accommodate vehicles, providing the opportunity for parks, plazas or courtyards—important parts of the public realm. 3. Buildings will not be greater than 200 feet in length, thereby minimizing the negative impact continuous walls can have on a comfortable pedestrian experience. 4. All streets are not equal. The plan outlines a hierarchy that is driven by the kind of experiences that are expected on these streets and how they facilitate an enlivened public realm. 5. Designated transition zones are about maintaining the quality of life in these areas without restricting growth in other parts of the district. 6. Promenades and East-West Streets are the bridge between single family neighborhoods, such as the Cornelia neighborhood of Edina and the west side of Richfield, to more intense parts of the district. 7. Street Rooms will intersect and overlap each other in many circumstances. At these intersections, lower building heights should prevail, giving the smaller scaled building precedence over larger scale buildings. 8. Building footprints above 60 feet in height are limited to 12,000 SF for residential uses, and 24,000 SF for commercial. 9. Within the first 60 vertical feet of a building, primary materials systems that are more traditional like brick, stone, glass wall systems are preferred. Above 60 feet, other materials such as metal wall systems within a larger curtainwall system, can be introduced. These baseline parameters should not be a deterrent to architectural innovation but rather are intended to serve as a measure of quality and continuity throughout the district 10. Transparency at the ground level facing the public realm is key to the individual experience and is a catalyst for how to activate and maintain a community-based approach to daily life and experience. 5.

Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page A1 For nearly four years, a Work Group comprised of Edina residents and business leaders contemplated the future evolution of the Greater Southdale District, using the notion of “experience” as the foundational element from which to shape the district over the next 50 years. The first phase of the Work Group’s efforts consisted of developing Working Principles that would guide the group’s efforts into subsequent stages as well as suggest a dialog for considering new introductions within the district. Phase Two translated these principles into an urban design framework plan that proposed enhanced connections across existing major streets, introduced a new block framework to encourage walkability, and posed design strategies to create an improved public realm and promote higher quality, pedestrian-oriented development. The broader experience the urban design framework strives to achieve is the creation of a Greater Southdale District that connects seamlessly between the existing urban and residential fabric, maximizes the development potential of each site, enhances walkability and livability, and encourages interaction among current and future residents, businesses, and institutions. The urban design framework is the foundation to the Greater Southdale District Plan, a part of the City of Edina 2018 Comprehensive Plan. The Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines is a companion to those documents, outlining high-level planning and design strategies for public realm, site, and building design supporting the desired experience outcomes. The Design Experience Guidelines sets baseline guidance for developers, designers, City of Edina staff, Planning Commissioners and members of the City Council when proposing, designing or evaluating proposed introductions within the Greater Southdale District. Use of the Design Experience Guidelines The Design Experience Guidelines apply to proposed development within the Greater Southdale District and former Pentagon Park, and should be referred to when embarking on new development or redevelopment. The Design Experience Guidelines also offer direction for new public realm features and the reimagining of existing public infrastructure. The document does not stand alone; it must be considered as part of a larger set of district goals, urban design framework and patterns, and policy guidance outlined in the Greater Southdale District Plan and the 2018 City of Edina Comprehensive Plan. Together, these documents set forth A. Preface What are Design Experience Guidelines? Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page A2 City expectations for the future form of the Greater Southdale District, and inform all potential projects within the district. The Design Experience Guidelines are not a substitute for City of Edina zoning codes and ordinances, but instead provide substantial background for developers and design teams and a framework from which to approach proposed projects within the district. The Design Experience Guidelines clarify the dimensional characteristics of eight different Street Room typologies that together form the experience within the district. The physical qualities of each street room’s height and width, and shaped by the architecture of the district, informs the design of the public realm on streets that connect and bind the human experience of the district. These physical characteristics also shape the experience of transition – transitions from existing single-family neighborhoods and transitions into and out of the district, outlining gradual changes in building scale within these critical transition areas to bridge between one- and two-story residences and the greater intensity of the Greater Southdale District. In conjunction with the Urban Design chapter of the Greater Southdale District Plan, this document provides both a philosophical and practical framework to facilitate discussion among the City, development teams, and the community when considering proposals for change within the district. During the recommended Sketch Plan review process (described on page 70 of the Greater Southdale District Plan), the Design Experience Guidelines are intended to facilitate dialog about broader district goals, patterns and connections, building massing, programmatic opportunities and shared public realm connectivity. Dialog at this point in the review of a proposal requires imagination, looking beyond the immediate site to imagine the creation of a consistently positive human experience, requiring a proposal to recognize the ways in which it influences that experience on adjacent and nearby sites. Once a proposal progresses beyond the Sketch Plan, the document is used as a test of outcomes and touchstone to measure how every proposal meets the desired district experience. Further specific design details related to landscaping, curb and intersection design, stormwater management and daylighting, lighting standards, street furniture, and a host of other factors related to the experience of the district will be described in future versions of this or a similar document as the need for direction related to those features becomes better understood. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page A3 1 Introduction Placemaking Through the Lens of Experience Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 1 Places link our past to the future. Within every community there exists a context of memory and identity. That context is made up of the choices/ decisions of the past and is inseparable from the physical identity of place; how buildings and streets look, and what parks and open space feel like. These choices are integral to what a place will become. By describing the evolving Greater Southdale District through experience criteria shaped by the physical context, a framework emerges for how streets will be structured, the relationship of open space to buildings, and how together the designed environment will support the desired experience outcome. To expand this basic idea into contemporary design is to be both democratic and innovative. What it means to be democratic is to encourage everyone to contribute to the possibilities of a new experience within the notion that its comes from what is unique about living in Edina. To be innovative is to reach beyond current conditions to create an extraordinary place and experience. Placemaking is not an act of invention... it is the study of how a unique place in world works, in combination with bringing contemporary design into alignment with the existing characteristics. The tools created via a collaborative process of engagement with the Greater Southdale Area Work Group takes this approach to the planning of the overall district, with the intent of providing the community, civic leaders, developers and designers the inspiration to think about the possibilities of this place in new and enterprising ways. 1. Introduction Placemaking Through the Lens of Experience In the making of the Greater Southdale District we must: • Support the public realm • Create equity throughout • Respect the larger context • Express the collective nature of community • Attend to all street rooms equally • Represent the whole in all actions • Put the collective before individual expression • Act to support the next 200 years of the Edina community — Architecture Field Office, 2018 Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 2 2 The Vision Aspirations for the Greater Southdale District Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 3 Background and Context Collectively, for nearly four years, the Greater Southdale Area Work Group has focused on building upon our community’s history of innovation, engagement and community commitment to create a vision for the possibilities of the Greater Southdale District. This work has culminated in the Greater Southdale District Plan (adopted December 2018) and the Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines. Change is inevitable within the district. In the past five years alone, over 1,500 new housing units have been constructed or are underway, along with myriad other commercial projects. This is a tremendous opportunity in time, and in the broader evolution of our community. We can transform the physical environment of the Greater Southdale District from a traditional car-oriented suburban commercial district with its sea of surface parking lots and ‘superblocks,’ into a vibrant place whose character is neither urban nor suburban, but blends the best characteristics of both to create a place that is uniquely of Edina. This new model will support all modes of transportation (cars, buses, bikes, scooters, and pedestrians) and serve future generations of Edina residents, employers, and visitors. It will complement, not compete with, the single family neighborhoods that have historically defined much of the community’s fabric. Within the broader 750+ acre Greater Southdale District, and the former Pentagon Park, there exist a remarkable variety of assets. This plan connects those assets with a new street grid that overlays a human scale and allows access via a variety of transportation options. The plan sets forth a strategy to bridge between adjacent single family neighborhoods and the more commercially focused areas of the district. And, it uses public realm infrastructure— including parks, plazas, green streets, woonerfs, and waterways that manage stormwater—as the connective tissue that gives the district its unique identity. Together, these attributes will set the stage for a remarkable daily experience for those who live, work and play within the Greater Southdale District. Aspirations for the Future Greater Southdale District The Greater Southdale Work Group summarized the overall districtwide vision and land use strategies as part of the District Plan. These aspirations, which follow, are at the foundation of design policy parameters and the overall experience we are striving to shape as the Greater Southdale Area evolves over the next 50 years. 1. Imagine Greater Southdale District evolution organized around human activity, with vibrant pedestrian-focused streets, beautiful parks and public spaces, and endearing and enduring buildings where: • A sense of invention is expected from new introductions, both public and private, that build on the district’s spirit of innovation. • Its role as regional and local center for living, shopping, working, learning, entertainment, hospitality, and medical services is enhanced. • Other Edina neighborhoods, near and distant, benefit from investment in the district and the evolution of each parcel. • Investment in the public realm is reflected by a commensurate investment as private parcels evolve. • Public and civic services accommodate a growing and diverse district and community population. • Transitions at the district’s edges recognize compatible use and scale and neighboring uses are perpetuated on their terms. 2. The Vision The Greater Southdale District Experience Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 4 2. Make the Greater Southdale District the model of healthy urban living where: • The district’s form encourages healthy living habits, particularly through walking. • The design of buildings and spaces, both public and private, attract the widest possible range of the district’s population. • Storm water is a valued resource by making it part of the experience of the district. • Emissions and pollutants are mitigated through the introduction of significant tree canopy and limiting idling vehicles on streets, creating a more inviting walking experience along the district’s streets. • Sustainable solutions result in a stock of healthy buildings that compel healthy activity for their occupants. • Public features mitigate impacts of non-local infrastructure, especially to contain the ill effects of adjacent highways. 3. Invent sustainable infrastructure matching the district’s sense of innovation where: • Mutually-supportive and forward-looking infrastructure is the norm, looking beyond baseline utilitarian functions of a single site to create a broadly supportive district infrastructure. • Infrastructure aligns with the creation of public space in the district, sharing space and resources that result in compelling, attractive and high-functioning civic spaces. • Care for and perpetuation of public infrastructure anticipates daily human activity in all seasons. 4. Create neighborhoods of activity within the broader mixed-use patterns of the district where: • Logical boundaries based on reasonable walking distances are established, with major streets as seams binding the activity of each side into an inviting and accessible public space. • Focal points of public activity are found within each neighborhood. • Key community services and facilities are present and help define the fabric of the District. • Core services are delivered within each neighborhood or in an adjacent neighborhood. • Neighborhoods are linked along street and park corridors highlighted by visible human activity. 5. Offer a spectrum of living opportunities integrated through the district where: • Housing orients to a variety of income levels and household types. • Ownership options constitute a significant portion of the living opportunities in the area. • “Missing Middle” living opportunities (duplexes, triplexes, side-by-side or stacked townhouses, rowhouses with multiple units, and small buildings with four to six apartments) allow a broader range of Edina residents, workforce members and others to consider relocating to the District. • Buildings for living strongly orient to the public spaces of each neighborhood within the District. 6. Expand significantly the number and extent of parks and public spaces where: • Opportunities for the introduction of another large signature public space complement the programming and activities available at Centennial Lakes. • An extension of the Promenade to Strachauer Park links neighbors and activity to the district. • New promenades on the East and West edges of the District create movement corridors for pedestrians and bicyclists and serve as vital places for a transition between neighborhoods and the District. • Parks and publicly accessible spaces are clearly visible and directly accessible from the public realm. • Spaces for visible human activity and occupation, either public or publicly accessible, occur on every block. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 5 7. Encourage district evolution based on incremental change and the creation of a great pedestrian experience where: • A basic framework of streets and blocks encourages pedestrian activity and well-considered buildings. • A rich variety of public or publicly accessible spaces are woven into the experience of the district. • Sites and buildings support a pedestrian experience first, with storage of cars not a focus. • Development on each site links to adjacent streets and to neighboring sites to create continuous, safe, and inviting pedestrian experiences. 8. Build (or plan for) a street network encouraging pedestrian movement across and through the district where: • Walkable block lengths (200 feet) are the baseline framework for development. • Enhanced and more frequent street crossings facilitates pedestrian movement. • Wide landscaped boulevards encourage pedestrian activity and create a distinct district signature. • Community corridors within and extending well beyond the district enhance bicycle and pedestrian access while accommodating vehicle traffic on pedestrian terms. 9. Imagine transportation in the district where: • Cars are not the focus and streets accommodate more than vehicles. • Major streets balance access and mobility. • Some streets serve as community corridors, linking to other community destinations with features that allow for movement in addition to cars. • Transit is a baseline service, both within the district and to non-Edina locations. • Transportation recognizes trends, including autonomous vehicles and a time when parking structures aren’t needed for public parking 10. Expect the delivery of high quality, well-designed buildings and sites where: • Spaces on sites are considered for people first, including connections between sites; then the ways structures are placed; and then places to store cars are found. • Visible human activity is prominent and integrated at every site. • People are brought to the streets via major building entries oriented to major streets. • Storm water remains visible as an amenity, allowing it to become a central part of the experience of each site. 11. Frame development guidance for evolution where: • Development review includes the desired experience, not solely quantitative thresholds. • Accommodation of adjacent and near parcels are considered in the evolution of a single parcel. • Early reviews focus on ideas, patterns and relationships, not specific and engineered plans, with that part of the review process based in dialog, not presentation and reaction. • Demonstrations of quality and especially quality from a long-term perspective are baseline considerations. • Collaboration leads to a superior result, with the community’s expectations clearly framed as part of the deliberation. • Flexibility is not a right, but rather the natural by-product of a fair exchange for benefits, collaboration, and quality in development. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 6 3 The Framework Building Blocks to Support the Vision Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 7 3. The Framework Building Blocks to Support the Vision THE 200’x200’ GRID There is an expectation of the street grid: it is democratic, it is uniform, it is connective. The uniform grid and the buildings that line the grid give the city its form. The space between buildings is used for access for pedestrians and vehicles; for entrance into both public and private buildings; and to provide light, air, and common green or social spaces. To break down the scale of the ‘superblocks’ that currently characterize the district’s overall land use framework, three distinct street grid patterns were considered, to inform what how the Greater Southdale District might transform into a more uniform and connected community. Small Portland blocks (200’ x 200’) were compared to the long blocks of New York City (200’x600’) and the larger square blocks of Minneapolis (350’ x350’). The Work Group focused on Portland as a model because of its walkability, and the scale of its buildings resulting from the 200 foot restriction on the length of building elevations fronting the public realm. Further studies analyzed land ownership patterns, size of property and generally how connections could made through the superblocks. It was concluded that the 200’ x200’ foot system was more adaptable to variety of site conditions supporting a more engaging public realm and opportunities for a better community experience. Considerations Width of street Sunlight in public spaces View corridors Building scale – height, length and footprint Transparency at street level Landscape, lighting and street furniture Streets and public realm paving Courtyards and pocket parks Cultural context – pride of place, historical framework Framework Vision: Block Organization Based on the Portland 200’ x 200’ square block layout This diagram overlays the general dimensions of the Portland block model on our primary test sites. Based on existing conditions, variations can occur in the nominal 200 by 200 square grid.

Criteria to measure the opportunity inherent in these sites include: • Sites that currently have large, dominating surface parking lots. • Sites that are critical to the overall success of development in the district. • Important connections that would extend existing public realm assets such as the Promenade. • Underutilized land that can be repurposed to serve the public realm goals of the district.

It is recognized that land ownership will influence the ultimate form of the grid. Other considerations influencing block pattern: • Building scale • Public realm connections • Connections through blocks • Pedestrian-oriented street intersections The Space Between Buildings As a result of the 200’ x 200’ block pattern, the space between buildings becomes an important asset in shaping the overall sense of landscape and continuity of public realm throughout the district. Because the superblocks have primary responsibility for serving the vehicular traffic needs of the district, access to the smaller blocks for drop-off, service and parking can be planned to stay at the perimeter of a block, allowing for the spaces between the remaining block to be used for a network of green spaces that support the health and wellbeing of the community. c 180,000 200,000 180,000 200,000 v The Space between Buildings: As a result of the 200x200 foot block pattern is the space between building that becomes an important asset to the overall sense of landscape throughout the district.

Considerations: building scale public realm connections through block connections Pedestrian oriented street intersections (see intersection diagram) : N N Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 10 STREET ROOMS AND SEAMS With changes in the way people are living in cities and suburban environments, it is important to seek new ways in which our communities can be experienced without sacrificing the spatial and architectural values of existing neighborhoods. Defining the way in which transitions are seen and developed, and the way each street can have a different character, use and form, puts the emphasis on the public qualities of the public realm rather than on the buildings themselves. In this way buildings can develop based on highest and best use without compromising characteristics of existing community life. Respect of context can bring about a degree of commonality where every building is not required to mirror its context but rather, support a connected and meaningful community experience. The intention in the design visioning process for the Greater Southdale District was to create a new paradigm for suburban mixed use districts, in which individual buildings respect their context and each other. The ensembles created as part of this process are Street Rooms. In this approach, the geometry of the city plays an important part in the definition of the street room, by width of street, length of block, solar orientation and axis as it relates to other grids defining other public rooms of the city like courtyard, plazas and parks. The real identity of the city is closely related to how the city is seen up close, making it possible to understand the true character of a place. It is these up close characteristics that make a city unique. This holistic approach depends on an attitude of relational subjectivity in articulating the components of each street room. This means that each wall of a building is studied as a part of the street that it faces and in conjunction with the building directly across the street. Scale, color, material and construction details are considerations in the whole composition of the street room—allowing the street to communicate a sense of place and completeness. A district full of street rooms promotes activity and social discourse while signifying the possibility of new functions. The street room is a source of sense of community even when it is not in use, thereby stabilizing the overall fabric of the public realm. Street Rooms within the Greater Southdale District Throughout the Greater Southdale District, the public realm is defined by a series of street rooms. These rooms are further defined by edges, referred to as the “seam” between the volume of the street and the form of the building—which together, create the experience at a pedestrian scale. Seams dictate the basic height of the defining street room wall (i.e. the building podium) but not necessarily the rest of the building form, allowing buildings to respond to their context on all four sides of the building and creating a form that is appropriate for each street room surrounding it. This creates variety throughout the district, and supports the notion that there are transitions between characteristics of neighborhoods that are different in scale, program and building type. As an example, transitions from single family houses to 36-foot-tall or 60-foot-tall buildings will not have the same criteria as transitions from a podium base to taller structures sitting on the podium. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 11 The following considerations all factor into the development of public realm and street rooms. These ideas should be utilized and considered by decision-making bodies when reviewing proposed development projects. • Transparency of building walls in the public realm can be both private and public. When the ground plane is connected along and through the building wall, it creates a link to experience the richness of activities in the public realm • Buildings could be sited perpendicular to streets, allowing vistas and pathways through the new street grid. • Buildings can create a very consistent form and a clear sense of place within the public realm. Each building is part of the next – both internally and externally. Regardless of building age, the continuity of scale, rhythm and materials of each building that lines the street creates a sense of room. • Continuity of building material quality is contained within each stone, brick, window pattern and cornice to define the edges of the public realm and the street room • Continuity of architectural language in the edges of shapes and rhythm of openings define a street room into horizontal and vertical forms that frame the experience of being in room – whether interior or exterior. The architectural language of the street should not be replicated but rather understood and transformed in each new building within the context of its particular location within the Greater Southdale District. • Buildings frame the public rooms of the district (parks, pocket parks, playgrounds, etc.) and should represent the scale required to meet the needs of the community. Moving through these spaces, one should easily see choices for other desired destinations. • Good street rooms provoke a culture’s spatial imagination, social discourse and creative energy. The street typologies and corresponding guidelines on building form define experience and spatial form that connects the district together. • The structure of the street rooms is organized to support residents, defining a particular place within a neighborhood and the overall district. The memory of experiences in each of these rooms provides the experience of sense of place and connects to other places within the Greater Southdale District. • Walking is a shared experience. An engaging walk can be short, long, slow, quick, or meandering – in weather that is wet, calm, windy, sunny, bright, cold, hot, or snowing – in places that appear open, closed, low, tall, long, narrow, wide or expansive. The experience of walking through the street rooms must be full of events connecting to a broader set of experiences. • The materials of the walls that make up the street room define the characteristics of the public realm. A certain part of this will depend on the age of the street, the program of the building and the design style in which they were constructed. All of these factors, in whatever form, are read and experienced in different ways and need to be delineated clearly. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 12 4 The Guidance Shaping the Greater Southdale District Experience Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 13 4. The Guidance Shaping the Greater Southdale District Experience Overlaying a new street network and street grid is a fundamental strategy in breaking down the scale of the existing massive ‘superblocks’ within the Greater Southdale District and improving the public realm experience. All new development should begin with the premise of the 200-foot-square block as the measure by which a building footprint is determined. The space between buildings are streets—which could be for cars, bikes, pedestrians only, or transformed into parks and open space. By connecting the design of streets with the concept of street rooms, the district will transform to one that is human-scaled, comfortable, green, and flexible for change and evolution over the next 50 years. While each street room and neighborhood will provide a distinctive experience, there are certain characteristics that are common to streets throughout the Greater Southdale District, helping to creating a holistic experience for pedestrians and bicyclists, transit-riders, and drivers alike. Buildings lining the public realm/street room will incorporate a mix of uses, including housing, workplace/office, cultural, community, and commercial/retail space— setting the stage for a rich variety of experiences. The overall public realm experience within the Greater Southdale District is supported by: • Consistent building setbacks that create the opportunity for an expansive public realm within the district and sub-district. • More frequent intersections to promote pedestrian connections within the district and to neighboring districts. • Distinctive sidewalks that support the pedestrian experience, separate and dedicated bikeways, and appropriate number lanes of vehicular traffic. • Wide sidewalks with places for gathering, play areas, gardens, outdoor cafes, etc. • Publicly-accessible pocket parks and courtyards along the street and sidewalk extend the public realm of the sidewalk in between buildings. • Separate and dedicated bikeways, and an appropriate number of lanes of vehicular traffic. • Integrated signage and lighting systems that offer safety, interest and diversity to the pedestrian. • Consistent signage that reflects sub-district identity to promote wayfinding within the larger Southdale District, identifying characteristics of the street and public amenities. • Pedestrian and vehicular paving (permeable) that is unique to a sub-districts streets and sidewalks. • Trees that vary in species, installed in rows or clumps, and spaced to create visual interest and promote a range of experiences such as shaded groves with benches, or a sun-dappled outdoor cafe, along the street. • Pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular access routes through larger blocks. • Safe, comfortable places where people can stop, view, socialize and rest. These may incorporate “landing zones” for ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft — particularly near primary gathering places and public rooms along the Promenade, connector streets and future East and West Promenades. These places of respite should not conflict with other sidewalk uses. • Different, and defined, zones on all sidewalk: building frontage zone, street furniture zone, movement zone, and the curb. Cafes and outdoor seating can be located in the building frontage zone, extending the activity of a building to include the sidewalk. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 14 • Transit stops that are designed to provide districtwide continuity, reinforcing the qualities of the Greater Southdale District. • Integrated plantings, water features and/or art to enhance public open space. • Stormwater that is daylighted and used as a water feature or amenity, integrated into the overall experience of the street and the district. • Street parking provided at the curb to support a mix of activities for both residential and commercial activities. • Varied landscaping and street trees that create a canopy over the street. Consider the changing climate when selecting plant species with the understanding that indigenous plant materials may not always be the most appropriate choice. • Building equipment, mechanical exhaust systems and/or service areas concealed in a manner that does not detract from the pedestrian environment. • The public realm is for both summer and winter conditions and as such must be planned to be easily maintained in all conditions. Building owners and city stakeholders should plan for maintenance, operations and upkeep within the public realm. This includes prompt and thorough snow removal on every reach of the sidewalks, care and feeding of trees, landscape and decorative planters (which should be changed on a seasonal basis). Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 15 PRIMARY COMPONENTS OF THE PUBLIC REALM EXPERIENCE The following guidance is provided to assist the community, civic leaders, designers and developers in understanding the vision and baseline parameters related to both building and public realm within the Greater Southdale District. Connections • The overall strategy is to connect intersections, incorporate street typologies, and incorporate green systems to add value to the experience of the district. • The public realm is to be connected continuously north-south from Centennial Lakes, the Promenade, the Galleria, Southdale Center, Fairview Southdale, to Strachauer Park. All new development shall support that goal. • The public realm should be connected east-west from Edinborough Park to Centennial Lakes, west of France to Pentagon Park and Fred Richards Park to Highway 100 on the west. This will set up future connections to districts to the west—such as 70th and Cahill—supporting an overall vision of a more connected and integrated Edina community. • The district must be connected continuously east-west from the Cornelia neighborhood to Yorktown Park. • New north-south promenades should be created on the west side of France and east side of Xerxes as part of the broader strategy to sensitively transition to single family residential neighborhoods. • Expand Centennial Lakes Park to France Avenue… celebrate this important public amenity by making it more visible as a gateway into the district. • Create a dynamic landscape that includes water, especially stormwater expressed as part of landscape, to create public amenity spaces. • Streets within the superblocks, East and West Promenades, and extension of the Promenade north to Strachauer Park should be surfaced with pavers to promote a dominance of pedestrians and bikes over vehicles. • New parks and plazas shall be either public or publicly-accessible, not private, in nature. • Increase number of sidewalks, pathways, and smaller parks/gardens to better address mobility. Incorporate places to sit throughout the district. • New trees should provide continuity of the street room experience with canopies that are consistent with the Street Room Typology to enhance the continuity of pedestrian experience. Intersections • Street Room Typologies overlay each other, unifying the overall district experience through the recognition of unique conditions that evoke unique design responses based upon location. • Street Room Typologies connect intersections throughout the district, linking experiences together from one neighborhood to the next. • Street Room Typologies with lower façade heights take president over those with higher façade heights at these points of intersection. • The architecture of a façade of one block making up an intersection should be conceived as part of all corners of the intersection. • Crosswalks at intersections need to be an integral part of the public realm and continue the overall street room experience from one block to another. • The hierarchy of intersections will change based on an evolving context and investment in the intersection experience. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 16 Street Room Form • Building setbacks are to be considered as a part of the overall landscape and public amenities, and should be designed to create a continuous pedestrian experience along major corridors to support “pools of human activity.” • Every new development should connect all publicly-accessible spaces such as pocket parks, courtyards and plazas to the street room typology. • Along all major corridors, seventy five percent (75%) of face of building walls need to be at the setback line to support the creation of a ‘street room.’ • All new building façades in the district must have seventy five percent (75%) transparency at the ground level. • All building façades are prime (including parking) and must be designed accordingly. There is no back side of a building. • 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. • No building façade can be longer than 200’ without changing direction by a minimum of 90 degrees. Building Form • Ground floors should have a minimum ceiling height of 20’ for flexibility. This floor-to-floor height will allow the space to accommodate commercial, two floors of parking, or two-story townhouses. • Above-grade parking structures should be designed with flat floorplates to allow for future conversion and lined with programmable public realm space to minimize the visual impact of car storage. • Within 50-60 feet of the ground, it is preferred that rooftops be programmed to accommodate residential or public user activities (e.g. a restaurant or terrace). • Rooftops facing the Promenades must be functional and programmed to provide interest and variety along these important pedestrian spines. • All development services, including rooftop mechanical systems, should be located within buildings and should not be visible from the public realm, or semi-private and private areas of the development. The exception are rooftop-mounted solar panels, which should be located on the highest point of the buildings. • Building footprints above 60 feet should be no greater than 12,000 SF for residential use and 24,000 SF for commercial space. • Design buildings for flexibility and adaptability in the future, including use of structural systems that will allow a building’s function to fundamentally change. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 17 TRANSITION AND CONNECTIONS Within the Greater Southdale District, a new network of streets will provide both commercial and resident access to new mixed- use buildings along France and York Avenues, keeping traffic out of the adjacent single family neighborhoods. These new streets offer the opportunity for new development to more gradually transition from the scale of the existing single family neighborhoods and the commercial heart of the Southdale District. New development within transition zones is expected to balance scale and building use between these single family neighborhoods and the higher density, more commercially focused Greater Southdale District. West and East Promenades The character of the West and East Promenades, new north-south streets that run to the west of France Avenue and the east of York Avenue, to are envisioned as woonerfs—shared streets for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles. This typology creates opportunities for multiple access to buildings for both below grade parking and service, as well as temporary/short-term parking for retail and building drop offs. Within the woonerf concept, pedestrians have priority over cars, and as a shared street, cars are forced to slow down and travel with caution. Because of their organization, these streets also can support a variety of uses, with building types catered to residential uses such as townhomes, with considerations for retail space that support less intensive commercial needs of adjacent neighborhoods. The sense of scale by way of width of street to height of building is maintained by creating a street form that is no less than 60 feet high at its edges, with developments potentially increasing in height as buildings reach the edge of the boulevards, and descending in height as they move to the single family neighborhoods, providing an edge to the east and west transition zones. Primary East-West Streets East-west streets through the Greater Southdale District connect existing single family neighborhoods to the heart of the district. The design of these streets is intended to respect the neighborhood scale and context in a meaningful way, with an ample tree canopy, extensive setbacks and consistently-scaled buildings at the face of the public realm. By employing these characteristics, the landscape experience serves as a bridge, knitting together the single family residential neighborhoods and the greater intensity of the district.

Each street across the district has a role in how it serves pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles in connecting sub-districts, adjacent single family neighborhoods, and the overall Greater Southdale District and creating a unified sense of place. It is the intent that street typologies define the public realm experience: the space between buildings, dimensions of building setbacks from the street, heights of facades at the building face at the street and building step backs, where the façade of the building steps back from the volume of the street room. Street Room Typology 1: Promenades and Transition Zones Promenades are new woonerf-type streets on the west side of France Avenue and on the east side of York Avenue. Within this typology, there are several different variations for new building development in these important transition zones, responding to and respecting the context of adjacent single family neighborhoods. Street Room Typology 2: Cornelia Overlay Zone With the understanding that there is special sensitivity related to new building development near the Cornelia neighborhood, this is a special zone governing the design of the public realm/street room on the east side of France Avenue between the north side of 69th Street and Gallagher Drive. Buildings within this zone will be expected to maintain the east side of the France Avenue street room, but will be of a lower overall scale than new Transition Zones 1A West Promenade 1B West Promenade (South) 1C East Promenade 2 Cornelia Overlay 3 New Local Streets 4 Primary East-West Streets 5 Boulevards 6 Central Promenade Spine 66TH STREETVALLEY VIEW RD.66TH STREET69TH STREET70TH STREETHAZELTON RD.GALLAGHER DRPARKLAWN AVE76TH STREET77TH STREETMINNESOTA DR72ND STREETEDINBOROUGH WAY YORK AVENUE FRANCE AVENUE XERXES AVENUE BARRIE RD78TH STREETN Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 19 buildings at the north or south ends of France. Street Room Typology 3: New Local Streets These are new 60’ wide streets internal to existing superblocks. These streets will be constructed as new buildings are added to the district, and will help create the new network of streets and pedestrian pathways throughout the Greater Southdale District. Some of these spaces between buildings may become parks or plazas, extending the public realm. Others will become primary vehicular access for drop off and pick up, as well as access to parking and primary building services. Street Room Typology 4: Primary East-West Streets The existing 69th Street, 70th Street, Hazelton Road, Parklawn Avenue and West 76th Street are important connections through the district from east to west. This typology is intended to respect the neighborhood scale and context in a meaningful way, with an ample tree canopy, extensive setbacks and lower scale buildings at the face of the public realm. By employing these characteristics, the landscape experience of the single family residential neighborhoods is extended through the Greater Southdale District. Street Room Typology 5: The Boulevards France Avenue, York Avenue, West 66th Street and West 77th Street are the district’s gateway streets. They carry the highest traffic volumes and are intended to have higher transit volumes than any other streets within the district. These streets will have the greatest impact in conveying the overall identity of the district: a consistent 50 foot setback with a double row of trees will extend the length of these streets, while consistency in building heights along the street edge will form the edge of the street room—bridging between the lower intensity and transitional areas and the higher intensity zones within the Greater Southdale District. Street Room Typology 6: Central Spine The Central Spine comprises the existing Promenade, its potential expansion northward, and future connections to the west to Fred Richards Park. This important pedestrian network is an attractive destination for both residents and visitors alike. New development along the spine must respond to and respect this important public amenity. Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 20 The sub-district to the west side of France between 69th and Parklawn is a unique transition zone within the Greater Southdale District. Any proposed developments within this zone should be approached with special sensitivity. This means that the street experience within that zone should be perceived as connected to the Cornelia neighborhood through landscaping and trees, and buildings that gradually transition in both height and function and use between lower intensity neighborhoods to the more commercially-focused district on the east side of France Avenue. The West Promenade, a new north-south pedestrian, bike and vehicle street/woonerf that accommodates service access, is envisioned between France Avenue and the Cornelia neighborhood. This new shared street is intended to provide service access to new developments along France (keeping vehicular traffic out of single family neighborhoods), and providing a new framework to support the transition from townhouses and lower-scale residential buildings on the west side of the West Promenade, to slightly taller buildings on the east side of the West Promenade.

The street room experience within Typology 1A will be shaped by the following experience guidelines: • New buildings that are adjacent to single family residential properties, on the west side of the West Promenade, should not exceed 36 feet in height. Townhomes are the preferred residential typology in this area of the transition zone. • All ground level space east of the West Promenade should have 20-foot floor-to-floor height. This dimension allows for flexibility to accommodate one level of retail space along the street, or two-story townhomes facing the West Promenade. • 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. • On the east side of the West Promenade, building faces should not exceed 50’ in height. Any height above that limit should step back 20 feet from the facade of the building. • On France Avenue, a 50 foot setback is required from curb to face of building with a maximum building height of 60 feet. • On individual developments, should the City choose to permit height above the 60-foot height limit, it is recommended that additional height above 60 feet step back from the face of the building by a minimum of 10 feet in depth and 12 feet in height. Street Typologies West Promenade Transition to the Cornelia Neighborhood A “Woonerf” reallocates the public right-of-way to create a place for people and plantings while accommodating slow-moving vehicles. The street is elevated so it is flush with the sidewalk, allowing for a continuous walking surface. When the street is closed for public events such as a fes tival, the area becomes a public plaza. The proposed building setbacks and building step-backs are intended to create a gradual transition in use and scale from the existing Cornelia Neighborhood on the west to France Avenue to the east. Between a transitional Street “Woonerf” is used as both a collector for neighborhood needs and a barrier against additional vehicular traffic flowing into the neighborhood. This street-park hybrid is considered as public open space and needs to be programmed. With a perpetual festival permit in place, the street becomes a venue for community events such as salsa dancing, a wine crush or a pop-up playground. Within the district it is the intention to define a series of street rooms each having their own characteristics and connections to the existing neighborhoods and other parts of the district to enhance the experience of the pedestrian creating both a sense of place and safe environment to be in. The West Promenade is intended to be a pedestrian and bicycle collector between the existing residential neighborhood.

It becomes one that is more commercial in nature and in concert with the expected higher intensity in the southwest quadrant the Greater Southdale District. As the West Promenade extends south into Typology 1B, it continues to serve pedestrian, vehicular and service access. Uniform building heights on each side of the West Promenade are intended to support the transition from existing multi-family housing to taller buildings at the south end of France Avenue near the gateway from 494.

This unique condition lends itself to new development along the West Promenade that is still lower in scale, without the preference for townhomes or smaller scale buildings along one edge, as in Typology 1A. The street room experience within Typology 1B will be shaped by the following experience guidelines: • Building faces at the West Promenade within Typology 1B shall not exceed 50 feet in height. Any height above that limit should step back 20 feet from the facade of the building. • All street level space shall be 20 feet, floor-to-floor in height. This dimension allows for flexibility for retail space (on France) and two-story townhomes facing the West Promenade. • 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. • Building faces on the east side of the West Promenade are intended to provide continuity in scale and experience from Street Room Typology 1A and from one side of the street to another.

The general character of Xerxes is single family housing on the Richfield side and multi-family residential backed up to commercial on York Avenue. The intent of this typology is to have townhouses along the street, set back to a taller building above, creating an scale appropriate to the existing character of the street. Xerxes is bisected by Yorktown Park and Adams Hill Park, near the Southdale YMCA. When Xerxes transitions through Yorktown Park and Adams Hill Park, the street becomes more woonerf-like, without vehicular traffic.

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.

Unique to the Greater Southdale District, many of the Connector Streets may become entirely devoted to landscaping. B 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. • 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. 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 (e.g. Typology 4 or 5). Dimensional Characteristics of Street Room Typology 3 New Local Streets Greater Southdale District | Design Experience Guidelines March 5, 2019 page 30 Street Room Typology 4 Primary East-West Streets These streets, including 69th Street, 70th Street, Hazelton Road, Parklawn Avenue, and West 76th Street, serve an important role within the district. These are unique streets in that they form the district’s superblocks with France and York Avenues, keeping traffic out of adjacent single family neighborhoods while connecting to the neighborhoods through the 30 foot setbacks that are landscaped to provide a pedestrian focused experience. This typology is intended to respect the neighborhood scale and context in a meaningful way, with an ample tree canopy, extensive setbacks and consistently-scaled buildings at the face of the public realm. By employing these characteristics, the landscape experience of the single family residential neighborhoods is extended through the Greater Southdale District. Street Room Typology 4 consists of streets that are between 110 and 125 feet wide, with two lanes of traffic in each direction, a center median and no parking. Several of these existing streets feature roundabouts. These streets provide access to parking and building services for buildings in Typology 3, as described previously.

In addition to being the widest streets in the district, they also currently carry a high volume of vehicular traffic. The intent of this typology is to create streets that connect the Greater Southdale District to the larger Edina community. These commercially-focused streets will reinforce the district’s unique role in serving Edina’s neighborhoods, while at the same time, recognizing that the district has a role in the broader metropolitan region—providing employment, health, retail, entertainment, and a wide range of housing options. The streets that fall into Typology 5 will have the greatest impact in conveying the overall identity of the district, with wide, multi-use streetscapes lined with a double row of trees within a consistent 50-foot setback. Medians may also be present in the boulevard streetscape to accommodate plantings and/or mass transit lines and stations.

The street room experience within Typology 5 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 minimum building height of 60 feet (diagram at left). Above that 60 foot height, the building face should step back two feet to create a cornice line, and can then extend to 105 feet. Above 105 feet, building faces must step back an additional 10 feet (as illustrated in diagram at right, above.) • Building podiums along these streets need to maintain as closely as possible the 60-foot height limit while still adhering to the guidance of 75% of building face at the setback line to create the fundamental experience of the street room. • 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. • Parking and building services should not be accessed via these streets. • Incorporate 10- to 12-foot wide sidewalks that create opportunities for gathering, outdoor cafes, pavilions, etc. • Within the 50-foot setback, trees should be planted in a double row to add a strong canopy for pedestrian activity.

The Central Promenade Spine traverses through a variety of building types, ranging from townhouses to multi-family housing, to low scale commercial/retail buildings, to mid-rise office buildings. As the physical form of buildings along this spine evolves, natural sunlight light and limited shadow will determine the experiential use of the space. Creating maximum height of 36 feet at its edges will support a mix of uses fronting the spine.

Every new development begins with the 200’ x 200’ block, or some variation based on context. 2. Every block or building in a development will need streets to connect between buildings. Not all of these streets will need to accommodate vehicles, providing the opportunity for parks, plazas or courtyards—important parts of the public realm. 3. Buildings will not be greater than 200 feet in length, thereby minimizing the negative impact continuous walls can have on a comfortable pedestrian experience. 4. All streets are not equal. The plan outlines a hierarchy that is driven by the kind of experiences that are expected on these streets and how they facilitate an enlivened public realm. 5. Designated transition zones are about maintaining the quality of life in these areas without restricting growth in other parts of the district. 6. Promenades and East-West Streets are the bridge between single family neighborhoods, such as the Cornelia neighborhood of Edina and the west side of Richfield, to more intense parts of the district. 7. Street Rooms will intersect and overlap each other in many circumstances. At these intersections, lower building heights should prevail, giving the smaller scaled building precedence over larger scale buildings. 8. Building footprints above 60 feet in height are limited to 12,000 SF for residential uses, and 24,000 SF for commercial. 9. Within the first 60 vertical feet of a building, primary materials systems that are more traditional like brick, stone, glass wall systems are preferred. Above 60 feet, other materials such as metal wall systems within a larger curtainwall system, can be introduced. These baseline parameters should not be a deterrent to architectural innovation but rather are intended to serve as a measure of quality and continuity throughout the district 10. Transparency at the ground level facing the public realm is key to the individual experience and is a catalyst for how to activate and maintain a community-based approach to daily life and experience. 5. Implementing and Measuring the Guidance Ten Things to Remember Cary: At your request, we reviewed the Sketch Plan submission for the proposed Life Time Living Edina development 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. The resulting vision for development in the district is to create an enhanced human experience along existing major and new connector streets, with overall experience shaped via landscape setbacks, building step backs, a hierarchy of street typologies, transparency at street level, minimizing the impact of the car, and managing storm water as an amenity. The outcome of our collaborations with the Work Group is described in the urban design chapter of the Greater Southdale District Plan and resulted in the Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines. Unfortunately, there is not much to discuss in this proposal about how this proposed development aligns with the future goals of the Greater Southdale District. The project is located at an important access point into Southdale Center, a place where residents and visitors from around the region once spent time shopping and finding entertainment all located in one place. This was also a time when everyone drove long distances to get everything they needed. Those times have changed, which is why the Design Experience Guidelines were created. New ways of how and where to shop, where to and how to work, where to find entertainment, where to find great places to be in and enjoyable ways to walk to them is having a great impact on community life everywhere. The Design Experience Guidelines is about how the physical environment can support the whole community, not just those who live and work in the district. This is why the Guidelines take great effort to respect and invite the surrounding neighborhoods as an important part of the district. However in this particular proposal, the focus is not focused on how the proposed development has met the Design Experience Guidelines or the Urban Design chapter of the Comprehensive Plan – both of which offer to each proposer a background on why and how a n ew development is expected to meet the expressed intent the existing community…an effort in which members of the community Work Group, Planning Commission and City Council spent many hours over three years to define and develop – but rather is presented as a marketing package of how the developer and architects have designed a place that is exclusively about themselves and their interests, not the broader community. To City of Edina Cary Teague, Community Development Director 4801 W. 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 From Mic Johnson, FAIA Date July 6, 2022 Page 2 of 10 “Life Time Living is a complete reimagination of where and how we live by integrating the Hea lthy Way of Life into a luxury living rental community with unmatched design, luxurious quality, and the conveniences demanded by active lifestyles. Not only do residents get a full membership to all of the amenities at the Athletic Resort, the project will have dedicated amenities just for residences, such as expansive work lounge spaces, private dining areas, a dog spa, exclusive parking, and private resident events.” The above quote from the proposal describes an exclusive and elite enclave, an inward-facing suburban development inside a suburban development that will be isolated from the Greater Southdale District. This is a place where it is possible to live without ever having to leave the corridors that connect to the club, workspace, or apartments and when leaving by car is easy via direct access provided for parking. These characteristics mean that the potential contribution the development of a very richly appointed facility where “(t)he tower is set back from the podium, exposed fully only at the base of a courtyard at the predominant corner, as a move to architectural emphasize the grandeur of the building” without mentioning that 50% of the perimeter of the building is an exposed, unlined parking structure. The Design Experience Guidelines were conceived to demonstrate how to integrate new development into the existing car-centric land use patterns of the last century to create a new form of 21st century integrated community where the scale and quality of the public realm is extensive, where every block and street room is designed for equal access for everyone and no one block is more important than any other. The Developer and Architect have missed or disregarded the primary intention of developing Street Rooms and blocks throughout the District –which includes the perimeter of the Southdale Center site. Because the once functional retail mall of the 60’s is entirely surrounded by acres of parking under single ownership, the opportunity to convert the parking lots into a more integrated part of the Greater Southdale District would provide an engine for connection both north to the Medical District and Barrie Road, and south to the Galleria and the Promenade, extending the Promenade through the north-south axis of the District. We point the proposer specifically to pages 10 and 11 of the Design Experience Guidelines and preceding graphics from the Framework Plan regarding Street Room and Seams, and to DEG page16, Street Room Form and Building Form for a clear understanding of what is expected; excerpts of these pages are below. Page 3 of 10 Culture is always changing. The Life Time Living concept may have a long life as an idea or place, or it may not. During the development phase of the Framework Plan, Comprehensive Plan and Design Experience Guidelines, many attributes of the 200 foot block were explored – primarily focused on its flexibility and ability to accommodate changes in program over time. Mostly, it was discussed as it relates directly to the public realm at the first floor where it was imagined that as needs of the community change, each building footprint would be designed to adapt to new social and cultural needs. The temporal program importance of any block would be designed both specifically and generically to offer long term integration into the structure of community needs and assets. Each block should be designed for below-grade parking that is also connected to adjacent below-grade parking areas to meet changing parking needs. In doing so, this allows the public realm above grade the greatest flexibility to meet social and cultural needs and activities while complimenting the blue and green network of amenities that are intended to be connected to the Promenade stretching from the south end of the district to the Crosstown and beyond. Page 4 of 10 The 200’x200’ grid is the essential ingredient of any new development in the Greater Southdale District. It has clearly not been used as a guiding factor in the proposed development. In addition, there are three Street Room Typologies that apply to directly the proposed development—none of which are referenced or acknowledged in the proposal. As a reminder, a hierarchy of streets and pathways within the district is the framework for public realm development and related building form. Each street across the district has a role in how it serves pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles in connecting sub-districts, adjacent single family neighborhoods, and the overall Greater Southdale District and creating a unified sense of place. It is the inten t that street typologies define the public realm experience: the space between buildings, dimensions of building setbacks from the street, heights of facades at the building face at the street and building step backs, where the façade of the building steps back from the volume of the street room. We have included excerpts from the Design Experience Guidelines below, and have included the pertinent pages as an appendix as reminder of their intent. Page 5 of 10 Page 6 of 10 Page 7 of 10 Page 8 of 10 At a minimum it is expected the development team would show a proposed 200’x200’ grid plan and where the typologies are applicable such as the diagram below. In this three block scenario example each block A, B and C would offer different building heights. For example B and C could be a 8 to 12 story tower and 18 to 22 stor y tower – all of which are consistent with other taller buildings outside the neighborhood overlay zones. Each podium base could support townhouses that would add a more neighborhood character to the development while site C could offer a lower scale housing block with possible affordable housing, which is not discussed in the proposal. All three sites could be connected below grade to meet parking requirements. Transit Hub We do not disagree that moving the transit facility to a more central location, a location that is supportive of greater activity and on the primary pedestrian spine of the district is an important move. The urban plan for the Greater Southdale District promotes pedestrian connections by extending the promenade north through the Southdale Center site either through the mall or around it. It is on this primary pedestrian alignment that a mobility hub would be best suited to be located. The suggestion by the development team that locates it on W est 66th, along a primary street disrupts the continuity of the Street Room, with its the 50 foot setback for landscaping to promote pedestrian comfort and primary building site for a drop off and transfer location and on-grade parking lot. It is also important to note to the architect that a current site plan showing the entire Southdale Center site to include all existing buildings and how the proposed new development fits with existing road/street patterns would be helpful in evaluating both the proposed building site and its relationship to the transit hub. Page 9 of 10 Entry Motor Court It appears from the architect’s plan diagram that 30% of the land use is devoted to the roadway leading up to a ”grand and formal“ entry for residents and their guests with the remaining lawn areas left for possible public use. These park area literally and figuratively fall under the shadow of the 32 story, 400-foot-tall tower, which would make them shaded spaces most of the year. This does not seem appropriate for a shared public realm experience or prone to create a place that would encourage its use by anyone other the occupants of the building (and their dogs). Secondly, it is owned by the residents of the tower since it is formally attached to the tower, and third, any sunny space is two stories above the ground, which is for resident use only. Page 10 of 10 In addition, as a potential northward extension of the Promenade, this site offers the opportunity to address stormwater as a resource and amenity, adding to the District’s ‘blue’ network. Trophy buildings often have little to do with the community that surround them, and offer little in the way of broader community public realm experiences. I would hope that the development team would take a closer look at the Design Experience Guidelines as a way to reach deeper into the wealth of design opportunities to mold an integrated development that meets the goals of both the developer and the Greater Southdale District community. Thank you for the opportunity to review. Please let me know if you have any questions. Mic MEMO Date: 7/7/2022 Proposed Project: Life Time Living Edina Re: Project Response to The Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines: Ten Things to Remember Cary, Thank you for sharing the AFO letter with the team. The bulk of the comments referred to The Greater Southdale District Design Experience Guidelines. To provide a well-rounded response, we have address point by point how this project is reacting to each of the “Ten Things To Remember in Implementing the Design Experience Guidelines” as they are outlined in this document. In addition to the written responses, please see the supplementary site plan and street section exhibits enclosed. 1. Every new development begins with the 200’ x 200’ block, or some variation based on context. The site for this development is extremely unique in shape, grade changes, and existing conditions. Constraints on this localized site area include a primary entrance to the Southdale Mall Area off York Ave., and existing buildings that are diagonally oriented on the site. While several preliminary site studies started with a rectilinear and more efficient residential footprint, continued design iterations and efforts to create a new grid pattern led the team to look at “nesting” the building into the irregular site area between mall buildings. This allowed for a grid pattern that is more orthogonally oriented, as a catalyst for future development. While respecting this unique site context, the project envisions a variation of the 200’ x 200’ block layout. This so lution aligns the grid of the arterial road (York Avenue) with the diagonal orientation of the mall buildings while also maximizing greenspace and walkability. True to the spirit of the guidelines, this proposed redevelopment creates a grid system of distinct blocks, bisected by a network of vehicular and pedestrian streets and pathways. 2. Every block or building in a development will need streets to connect between buildings. Not all of these streets will need to accommodate vehicles, providing the opportunity for parks, plazas or courtyards—important parts of the public realm. Connectivity remains a central feature of this site plan. For vehicular traffic, the street grid provides access to and around all buildings and seamlessly integrates with a pedestrian-centric, public realm. The primary tower entrance features a multifunction woonerf that blends a formal porte-cochère drop-off into a highly walkable public plaza. A generous network of landscaped, accessible pathways connect the residences not just to the Life Time athletic club & mall but also to open park lawns, programmed courtyards, native plantings, outdoor exercise zones, and off-leash pet amenities. 3. Buildings will not be greater than 200 feet in length, thereby minimizing the negative impact continuous walls can have on a comfortable pedestrian experience. Because this building is nested between two existing buildings, the podium has 6 facades, three outward facing, three inward facing. Only one of the building facades exceeds 200 feet in length, and this is due to the cant in the building footprint due to the site constraints. This façade faces a portion of the site where there is an existing landscape berm Life Time Living Edina - Implementation of the Design Experience Guidelines 2 of 3 accommodating the full story grade change between the residential site and the anchor retail building entrance facing York. This berm is across the street from the residential building and acts as the pedestrian connection from the mall entrances (level one and two) and pedestrians coming from the neighborhood to the east. Pedestrian connections in this location will be maintained and enhanced to continue this connectivity. The project’s exterior façade primarily features pedestrian-focused walk-up homes as well as an expansive, glassy lobby entrance. On the rear of the building, parking access as well as trash service and move-in loading zones prevent active liner uses. The project team is exploring methods of beautifying those areas with architectural moves including added patterns or even a potential public art mural to create interest. 4. All streets are not equal. The plan outlines a hierarchy that is driven by the kind of experiences that are expected on these streets and how they facilitate an enlivened public realm. This project provides a full spectrum of street types based on adjacencies, proposed circulation patterns, and use. Street types include: • Typology 5 The Boulevard at York Avenue • Typology 3 Local Streets connecting to the York entrance • Curbless woonerf that can flex from a resident drop off /pick up, package and mail delivery, and prospective tenant parking • Lined residential drop-off and pick-up to a designated land area for large gatherings or events, designated service road ways accommodating move-in, refuse removal and other critical mall, club and residential building functions, and • Pedestrian only paths that allow people to traverse the site while serving the liner residential units with front patios. 5. Designated transition zones are about maintaining the quality of life in these areas without restricting growth in other parts of the district. This site is not a designated transition zone in the district guidelines, however the location of the building into the nested center of the mall area and the allocation of open green space and a roadway connection is intentional. This provides a site area amenity off a primary access point that will encourage new development adjacent to it. 6. Promenades and East-West Streets are the bridge between single family neighborhoods, such as the Cornelia neighborhood of Edina and the west side of Richfield, to more intense parts of the district. This development is a localized site within the greater Southdale Mall Area, however the site planning thought process extended greatly beyond the site itself. The proposed design not only improves vehicular circulation within the mall area, but it provides a network of pedestrian and bike paths as well. This is important for the residents of this building to have easy access to the mall and greater Southdale Area destinations, but also for the residents of peripheral mall buildings and the Edina and Richfield community to the East of the mall to have continued or improved connectivity as well. Again, this is a localized site area for improvements, but it contributes to the ongoing initiatives to create thoroughfares of connectivity through the mall site as a whole per the goals of the Southdale Design Guidelines. Life Time Living Edina - Implementation of the Design Experience Guidelines 3 of 3 7. Street Rooms will intersect and overlap each other in many circumstances. At these intersections, lower building heights should prevail, giving the smaller scaled building precedence over larger scale buildings. All street rooms are designed to prioritize the buildings and land areas adjacent to the new building being proposed. 8. Building footprints above 60 feet in height are limited to 12,000 SF for residential uses, and 24,000 SF for commercial. The primary height of the building podium at the main facade is approximately 40’ tall, which is shorter than the allowable 60’ to better emulate the scale of the surrounding buildings. In addition the tower is stepped back over 20’ from the podium façade facing York Avenue. It is important to note that modern high-rise residential floorplates are typically much larger than 12,000 SF. In addition, the smaller the size of the floorplate, the taller the building needs to be to achieve the same overall density. The proposed building design balances height and mass along with constructability and design efficiencies. The footprint of the proposed building is similar to other high-rise residential buildings seen throughout the Twin Cities, including other projects in Edina. 9. Within the first 60 vertical feet of a building, primary materials systems that are more traditional like brick, stone, glass wall systems are preferred. Above 60 feet, other materials such as metal wall systems within a larger curtainwall system, can be introduced. These baseline parameters should not be a deterrent to architectural innovation but rather are intended to serve as a measure of quality and continuity throughout the district The podium of the project will be comprised of high-quality, low maintenance, long lasting building materials such as brick, stone, architectural precast panels, storefront, doors and windows and curtain wall. The tower of the building will be primarily window wall and curtainwall systems with metal panel inserts, slab edge covers, feature metal panel materials, and decorative metal fins and architectural lighting. 10. Transparency at the ground level facing the public realm is key to the individual experience and is a catalyst for how to activate and maintain a community-based approach to daily life and experience. All sides of the building will provide transparency for visibility on the street. Primary outfacing facades have been designed with liner housing, lobby amenities, bike amenity spaces, etc. to provide activation at the street level. The proposed lobby emphasizes transparency by eroding the corner of the podium and bringing the glassy tower down to grade for a dramatic and impactful moment. Site areas around the building will property illuminated with building and site lighting, and entrances will have canopies for weather coverage. All sides of this building will be design with safety and pedestrian experience in mind. --- End of Memo --- (See Supplementary Site Diagram and Street Section Exhibit Enclosed) 41 LIFE TIME LIVING EDINA EXISTING STREET CURRENTLY PROPOSED STREET PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN STREET EXISTING PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK STREET TYPES LEGEND: SITE PLAN | GRID MODIFICATIONS Life Time Living Site 42 LIFE TIME LIVING EDINA STREET SECTIONS Life Time Living Site LOCAL STREET SECTION LEGEND 43 LIFE TIME LIVING EDINA STREET SECTIONS Life Time Living Site LOCAL STREET SECTION LEGEND 44 LIFE TIME LIVING EDINA STREET SECTIONS Life Time Living Site LOCAL STREET SECTION LEGEND 45 LIFE TIME LIVING EDINA STREET SECTIONS Life Time Living Site PEDESTRIAN STREET SECTION LEGEND 46 LIFE TIME LIVING EDINA STREET SECTIONS Life Time Living Site ENTRY STREET SECTION LEGEND 42' Southdale Center | Edina, MN LIFE TIME LIVING WHAT IS LIFETIME LIVING DESIGNED FOR HEALTHY LIVING Live in an environment designed to support you in every way.

The Southdale site is 79.44 acres in size. There are 232 units at the Southdale One Apartments; therefore, with the added 300 units proposed the overall density would be 7 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan allows for up to 150 units per acre on the site. ➢ Affordable Housing. The applicant is not proposing to include affordable housing units within the project, they are proposing the buy in amount ($100,000 per affordable unit) for the City of Edina to put toward affordable housing in another location in the City. ➢ Building Height. The proposed building height is 32 stories and 400 feet tall; City Code requirement is 12 stories and 144 feet. The Southdale area design experience guidelines contemplate greater height in this exact area in between France and York Avenues. Edina City Code requires buildings over nine stories to be setback six times the height of the building from R-1 zoned property. This 400-foot-tall building would require a 2,400-foot setback to the nearest R-1 property or single-family home lot. The nearest lots are 854 feet to the east in the City of Richfield, and 2,132 feet to the west in the City of Edina. (See attached map.) EdinaMN.gov 12 854 feet Distance from nearest R-1 property Discussion/Sketch Plan Review EdinaMN.gov 13 ➢ Parking ramp/liner buildings. As recommended in the design experience guidelines, the parking would be hidden on the north and east side of the building by apartment units. (See the attached first floor plan.) These are the areas facing outward toward the public green space. The parking ramp on the south and west side of the building faces the parking lot to the south and Southdale to the west. This area on the south side of the development slopes downward toward Southdale mall. There is a skyway connection to the Lifetime Club on the 3rd level. The proposed tower does sit on a podium as recommended in the design guidelines and does step back on the north and east side of the building.

Pedestrian sidewalks are proposed on all sides of the building, including connections from the proposed building and Southdale outward through the proposed public park/public realm areas to the Southdale Center perimeter sidewalk along York. A public use easement should be established over the proposed park areas. ➢ Sustainability. Any formal application should address the City’s Sustainability Policy. ➢ Traffic & Parking Study. Would be required as part of any formal application. The proposed parking would be considered as part of the entire Southdale site. The housing project on its own would-be code compliant with the parking within the building, however, parking stalls would be removed that are required as part of the Southdale Shopping Center. Variances have been granted over the years for the Southdale Center with the development around the perimeter of Southdale. A parking variance for Southdale Center would be required.
