DENYING PRELIMINARY REZONING FROM R-I, SINGLE DWELLING UNIT
DISTRICT TO PUD, PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT-20 TO BECOME PART OF
THE ADJACENT GRANDVIEW TOWNHOME PUD AND SUBDIVISION AT 5120 &
5124 HANKERSON AVENUE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section I. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Donnay Homes Inc. is proposing to tear down two existing single-dwelling units to
build two double dwelling units/townhomes at 5120 and 5124 Hankerson Avenue. The
development would gain access off the Alley on the west side of the properties similar
to the townhomes to the south. The subject properties are zoned R-I, Single Dwelling
unit District. The site is guided low density residential, which allows between 1-5 units
per acre. The properties are 19,468 square feet in size total (9,769 and 9,699 s.f. each).
The proposed density of this project is 9 units per acre.
1.02 To accommodate the request, the following is requested:
â A Rezoning from R-I, Single-Dwelling Unit District to PUD-20, Planned Unit Development,
to be part of the adjacent Grandview Townhome PUD. Flexibility through the PUD would
be for structure setback, building coverage and lot area per dwelling, to match the existing
PUD to the south.
â Subdivision/Preliminary Plat.
1.03 On April I I, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval
of the proposed rezoning and subdivision. Vote: 6 Ayes and 3 Nays.
1.04 On May 7, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing and considered the requests.
1.05 On May 21, 2024, the City Council denied the requests.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Denial is based on the following findings:
I. The proposed density is too high for the site. Land uses to the west and north are low density
residential. Introducing medium density residential is not reasonable for the middle of this
block,
2. This neighborhood is isolated from the Grandview District. The connection from 52' Street
to Vernon has not yet been made.
