BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section I. BACKGROUND.
1.01 As part of the site grading for Phase I of the development of PUD-I6 (Ordinance 2024-05),
trees were removed along the west lot line that were supposed to remain at 7200 France.
Trees were also removed from the adjacent private properties located west of the 7200
France Site. Therefore, a revised landscape plan is required for the area where the trees were
removed.
1.02 A Site Improvement Plan Agreement (SIPA) is also required to ensure the landscaping is
replaced and the City of Edina has securities in place to ensure the healthy growth of the
trees and landscaping.
1.03 The property is legally described as follows:
Lot 44, Block I, Oscar Roberts 1st Addition, Hennepin County. The North 325 Feet of
the East 520 Feet of the Southeast 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4 Except Road. (7200 &
7250 France.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
I. The trees and brush that were removed were primarily deciduous trees.
2. The proposed revised landscaping includes evergreen trees for year-round screening in
the future.
3. Replacement trees would be planted on a higher elevation in the area to provide better
screening from the residential homes to the west, as they sit at a higher elevation than
where the trees were removed.
