APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN, VARIANCES AND SUBDIVISON
AT 7300 METRO BOULEVARD FOR EDINA ENDODONTICS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section I. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Hempel Real Estate, on behalf of Edina Endodontics, is proposing to build a new 6,000
square foot dental office in the parking lot of 7300 Metro Boulevard. The existing site
contains a 110,790 square foot office building that is served by a surface parking lot.
The lot is 5.47 acres in size. The property is zoned Planned Office District, in which
dental offices are a permitted use.
1.02 The property is legally described as follows:
Lot I, Block I, One Corporate Center Phase 3, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
1.03 To accommodate the request, the following is requested:
â Site Plan Review.
â Variances: First floor ceiling height from 20 to 10 feet and side yard setback from
20 to 10 feet.
â Subdivision.
1.04 On April I I, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval
of the requests. Vote: 8 Ayes and 0 Nays.
1.05 On May 7, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing and considered the requests.
1.06 On May 21, 2024, the City Council approved the requests.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval of the Site Plan is based on the following findings:
I. With the exception of the requested variances, the proposal meets all City Code
requirements.
2. The requested variances meet the variance criteria outlined in Section 36-98 of the Edina City
Code.
3. The intent of the side yard setback is to provide adequate spacing between buildings. The
proposed dental office would allow for adequate space from the nearest building. The building

to the south is setback further on the lot, 165 feet back from the street and is 60 feet back
from the side lot line. The rear of the proposed dental office would be over 70 feet away.
4. These variances are reasonable given the distance separation from the closest building at over
70 feet. The reason for the request is that the building could be moved up closer to the
street, as recommended in the sketch plan. With a closer setback to the side lot line, they are
able to provide parking along the side of the building and not disturb the location of the
existing drive-aisle.
5. The proposed use of the building is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
6. There are no buildings in this area with 20-foot first floor ceiling height.
7. Stantec conducted a traffic and parking study and concluded that the project would have
minimal impact on existing roads and there would be adequate parking.
