Information/Background: Edina Boards & Commissions are moving to a 2-year work plan cycle. EEC will create a 2026-27 work plan this year. EEC should prioritize work plan items following the July 15 City Council work session where Council provided direction on what to focus on. EEC should consider connecting work plan items to council charges where possible. An approved work plan from the EEC is due at the September 11 meeting. Supporting Documentation: 1.

To EEC - Work Plan Ideas 2026-2027 (1) 4. 2026-2027 Commission Work Plan Template Page 6 of 36 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Background The City Council establishes boards and commission to increase resident engagement in city work and provide opportunities for residents to serve the community and participate in meaningful work. Currently, the work plan process is conducted on an annual basis. For up to six months, commissions simultaneously work on their current initiatives while discussing and developing a new annual work plan. Work plan development starts in June and final work plans are approved in December. There were no proposed adjustments to the 2024 work plan process. Starting in 2025, commissions will transition to a two-year work plan process. Purpose The purpose of adjusting the timeline allows better connection of work plan initiatives to the organization’s overarching strategic priorities, long-term objectives and available resources. The goal is to make work plan initiatives more intentional and include the budget values (Sustainability, Stewardship, Engagement, Equity, Health). Two-year work plans provide the opportunity to adopt a phased approach and allocate time to ensure each aspect of a project or task is executed and implemented effectively. Commissions are asked to continue to keep their work plans to 4-5 work plan items and use a phased approach for work plan items. For example, a commission will use year one to study and report and in year two, develop recommendations if directed by Council after the study and report. This alignment will provide focus, track progress, adapt to evolving needs and optimize our resources to deliver impactful results.

Strategic Alignment: Strategic alignment ensures that the budget and work plans are directly tied to the organization’s overarching goals and objectives. It involves mapping resources and planned actions to strategic priorities, ensuring all efforts contribute to long-term success and addressing the community's needs effectively. 2. Prioritization & Resource Allocation: Prioritization and resource allocation focus on ranking initiatives and distributing available resources—such as funding, personnel, and time—according to their importance and impact. This process ensures that the most critical and high-value projects receive the necessary support while balancing constraints and competing demands. 3. Phased Approach & Completion: A phased approach breaks down the work plan into manageable stages aligned with realistic timeframes and resource capacities. This approach acknowledges the limits of what individuals or teams can achieve within a two-year period, prioritizing tasks to avoid overcommitment. Each phase sets clear, attainable goals, ensuring steady progress while maintaining quality and efficiency. Completion emphasizes finalizing deliverables for each phase before advancing, promoting accountability and the feasibility of meeting long-term objectives. Highlighted Changes •Commissions develop two-year work plans •Divide commissions into two groups and annually four commissions will develop their two-year plan while the other group will do a review and update, if needed •Adjust the purpose of joint work session meetings with Council to focus on discussion around development of the two-year work plan.

Information/Background: Staff is providing the draft revisions to the tree protection ordinance and seeking formal comments from the EEC at the August Meeting. Supporting Documentation: 1. Staff Recommendations for EEC Review July 10 2025 (1) 2. Pages from 2024-06-04 City Council Meeting Packet (1) (1) Page 24 of 36 Changes to Tree Ordinance Already Implemented The following changes were approved by City Council and adopted into the Ordinance June 4th 2024: Topic Discussion Ordinance Changes 1. Chapter 10 Zoning Clarification Specify which specific zoned properties are to be compliant under the ordinance The language for properties Zoned R-1 and R-2 (residential) was added to the ordinance. 2. Exemptions for heavily wooded lots Establish unbuilt lots with exemptions for tree removal or alleviate burden. The definition of an Unbuilt lot was added to the ordinance. With exemptions for any tree to be removed without mitigation within specific parameters. 3. Developers use of a Certified Arborist Require developers at certain permit valuation to have an Arborist complete the tree inventory. This helps lessens the discussions about what a healthy tree is. Any New Home permit with valuation over $500,000 or any project over $100,000 is required to have an ISA Certified arborist complete the tree survey and inventory. A credit up to $2,500 will be given to the applicant for the cost of the arborist. 4. Replacement requirements On-site Allow for tree replacements requirements to be met with off-site planting With approval for City Staff, tree replacements may be fulfilled by planting off-site from the subject property. 5. Reduce Escrow holding time Reduce the 36-month escrow release date A reduction to 12 months after the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the second half of the escrow release was changed in the ordinance. Page 25 of 36 Changes To Discuss with Edina Energy and Environment Commission for Amending Tree Ordinance Discussion Topic Update Goal Staff Recommendation 6. Creation of Off Site Planting Guidelines Prescribe goals for off-site planting priorities. Prioritize preserving existing trees or planting on-site, with the following priorities for off-site planting: 1) Homeowner preserves existing trees on the subject property 2) If preservation is not possible, developer plants replacement trees on-site 3) If on-site planting is not possible, developer plants replacement trees on private property, as close as possible to the subject property a. To facilitate this, the City will create a “Canopy Connect” database of residents interested in planting trees on their property 4) If all previous options are not possible, the City uses the escrow for tree planting and preservation fund a. City Owned Public property may not an option due to limited capacity. 7. Define exemptions for unique circumstances Recognize and define what a unique circumstance that would warrant “exemption” from ordinance Exemptions to be included in ordinance: 1) Existing trees causing current damage to existing structures (e.g., building foundation, public street or sidewalk). Damages would need to be verified and documented by a licensed professional. 2) “Unique Circumstance Exemptions” to be verified and documented by a licensed professional include these Unique Circumstances and would be based upon the subject property, and would limit the homeowner’s ability to meet tree replacement requirements: a. Steep slopes: Slopes equal to or steeper than three feet horizontal to one Foot vertical (3:1) b. Utility Easements, both public and private c. Potential flood risk areas as indicated in the storm water management plan Page 26 of 36 Update Timeline: July 10, 2025 – EEC Discussion and Comments August 14, 2025 – EEC Discussion and Recommendation September 2, 2025 – City Council Review Staff would have the ability to verify the above exemptions and deviate up to 15% of replanting requirements to be reduced. 8. Species Specific Replanting Ratio Requirements Allow for deviation in species type from “same for same” planting to meet requirements. To promote species diversity at least 80% of the replacements must be similar species types (e.g., “same for same”) and the remaining 20% of replacement requirements can be met with planting different tree types. 9. Measuring Methodology Select a particular methodology to be applied universally. Measuring Existing trees: DBH as defined by the MN DNR Measuring New trees: ANSI Standards Z60., This will be laid out in the ordinance and difference with these references. 10. Property Classification Zoning Application Incorporate the other property types into the ordinance - commercial, etc. Amend Edina City Code to include additional zoning districts (PCD, POD, PID, PUD, PRD and MDD). 11. DBH Threshold for calculating removals Size threshold exemptions of tree DBH for counting Staff recommends keeping at 5 inches and 15 feet. This change was made by EEC for the 2023 ordinance to account for the loss of smaller but equally beneficial trees. Page 27 of 36 Date: June 4, 2024 Agenda Item #: IX.C.

Page 30 of 36 Existing text – XXXX Stricken text – XXXX Added text – XXXX ORDINANCE NO. 2024-04 AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING TREE PROTECTION The City Council Of Edina Ordains: Section 1. Chapter 10, Article III of the Edina City Code is amended as follows: DIVISION III. TREE PROTECTION Sec. 10-82. Preservation, protection and replacement of Protected Trees. This division applies to the following permits and land use applications on properties that are zoned R-1 and R-2: grading permits, demolition permits, subdivisions applications, building permit applications for principal and accessory structures including a garage, deck or a pool; and additions to principal and accessory structures. This division does not apply to city parkland, which follows tree protection guidelines outlined in Edina's Comprehensive Plan and City Park Master Plan. (1) Purpose. Edina is fortunate to have a robust inventory of mature trees that form an integral part of the unique character and history of the city, and that contribute to the long-term aesthetic, environmental, and economic well-being of the city. The goal of this section is to preserve Edina's high valued trees, while allowing reasonable development to take place and not interfere with how existing property owners use their property. The purpose of the ordinance is to: a. Preserve and grow Edina's tree canopy cover by protecting mature trees throughout the city. b. Protect and enhance property values by conserving and adding to the distinctive and unique aesthetic character of Edina's tree population. c. Protect and enhance the distinctive character of Edina's neighborhoods. d. Improve the quality of life for all stakeholders, including city residents, visitors and wildlife. e. Protect the environment by the filtering of air and soil pollutants, increasing oxygen levels and reducing CO2; preventing and reducing erosion and stormwater by stabilizing soils; reducing heat convection; decreasing wind speeds; reducing noise pollution and decreasing the urban heat island effect. f. Protect and maintain healthy trees in the development and building permit processes as set forth herein; and prevent tree loss by eliminating or reducing compacted fill and excavation near tree roots. (2) Definitions: a. Protected tree: Any tree that is structurally sound and healthy, and that meets one of the following: i. A deciduous tree that is at least five inches dbh, except box elders, poplar, willow, silver maple, black locust, fruit tree species, ash, and mulberry. Page 31 of 36 Existing text – XXXX Stricken text – XXXX Added text – XXXX 2 ii. A coniferous tree that is at least 15 feet in height. b. Removable tree. Any tree not defined as a protected tree, and as defined as an invasive species by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. c. Critical root zone. The minimum area around a tree that is left undisturbed. The critical root radius is calculated by measuring the tree's diameter at breast height. For each inch of tree diameter, one and one-half feet of root zone radius must be protected. For example, if a tree's dbh is ten inches, then its critical root zone radius is 15 feet (10 × 1.5 = 15). If the critical root zone of a tree on site or an adjacent property must be disturbed for construction or construction activity, a plan for the disturbance shall be submitted as part of the tree protection plan subject to review and approval of the city forester to minimize the damage. d. Diameter at breast height (dbh). The dbh shall be measured at a height of four and six-tenths feet. e. Transplanted tree. A protected tree which is removed from a lot and replanted to another private lot or a public space in Edina. f. Heritage tree. A protected deciduous tree above 30 inches dbh and a protected coniferous tree taller than 30 feet. g. Unbuilt Lot: An existing or newly created lot, with a unique address that has not had a primary residential structure. (3) Applications for all permit types identified in section 10-82 must include a tree protection plan indicating where protected and heritage trees are located and, their species, caliper, and health. The plan must show how protected and heritage trees are preserved and protected during construction. The plan must also show if any protected or heritage trees are proposed to be removed and the location, species and size of all replacement tree(s). The tree protection plan should be coordinated with the stormwater management plan; proposed and protected trees should be shown on the stormwater management plan to ensure no conflicts. (4) If a protected tree is removed, it must be replaced with trees equal to at least 75 percent of the deciduous dbh and 75 percent of the coniferous height in feet, as applicable, subject to the following conditions: a. Protected trees must be replaced with species of a similar type (deciduous or coniferous) according to Part (11) that are normally found growing in similar conditions and that are included in Hennepin County's "Recommended Tree List." b. Replacement trees must not be subject to known epidemic diseases or infestations. Disease or infestation resistant species and cultivars are allowed. c. Replacement trees must be at least three and one-half inches in caliper for deciduous trees and a minimum of eight feet tall for coniferous trees. d. Replacement tree plans are subject to approval by the city forester before implementation. e. The tree protection plan shall be verified at the time of final inspection for the building permit. Page 32 of 36 Existing text – XXXX Stricken text – XXXX Added text – XXXX 3 f. Failure to replace protected trees on site results in a payment fee of $300.00 per dbh below 75 percent of the dbh removed, or $300.00 per coniferous foot below 75 percent of the foot removed. (5) If a heritage tree is removed, it must be replaced with protected trees at least 100 percent of the dbh or coniferous feet, subject to the following conditions: a. Heritage trees must be replaced with species of a similar type (deciduous or coniferous) that are normally found growing in similar conditions and that are included in Hennepin County's recommended tree list (xlsx). b. Replacement trees must not be subject to known epidemic diseases or infestations. Disease or infestation resistant species and cultivars are allowed. c. Replacement trees must be at least four and one-half inches in caliper for deciduous trees and a minimum of ten feet tall for coniferous trees. d. Replacement tree plans are subject to approval by the city forester before implementation. e. The tree protection plan shall be verified at the time of final inspection for the building permit. If the protection plan is not in compliance, the inspection may not be approved. f. Failure to replace heritage trees results in a payment fee of $500.00 per deciduous dbh below 100 percent of the dbh removed, and as applicable, $500.00 per coniferous foot below 100 percent of the coniferous feet removed. (6) Protected and Heritage Trees may be removed without mitigation on unbuilt lots as defined above, in the following areas: a. Including, and within a ten-foot (10’) radius of, the building pad, deck or patio. b. Including, and within a five-foot (5’) radius of driveways. c. Including, and within ten-foot (10’) radius of installation of infrastructure improvements including public roadways, stormwater retention areas and utilities. (7) The Tree Survey for any new home construction permit above $500,000 and any project valuation over $100,000 in estimated value is required to be completed by an ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certified Arborist. An allowance shall be given to the applicant up to $2,500 for the costs of the Arborist and that amount would be deducted from the applicant’s escrow. (6) (8) Before construction, grading or land clearing begins; city-approved tree protection fencing, or other method must be installed and maintained at the critical root zones of the trees to be protected. The location of the fencing must be in conformance with the approved tree protection plan. The fencing must be inspected by city staff before site work begins. The fencing must remain in place until all demolition and construction is complete. Page 33 of 36 Existing text – XXXX Stricken text – XXXX Added text – XXXX 4 (7) (9) No construction, compaction, construction access, stock piling of earth, storage of equipment or building materials, or grading may occur within the critical root zone areas of trees to be protected, unless there are no other on- site alternatives. If there are no other alternatives, a plan for this activity would need to be reviewed and approved by the city forester and included in the tree protection plan. A reasonable effort must be made when trenching utility lines to avoid the critical root zone. (8) (10) When construction is complete all trees to remain must have the soil out to their drip line aerated and de-compacted. Aerating must include multiple concentric circles of one-inch holes, two inches deep, or as recommended by an arborist. (9) (11) If protected trees and/or heritage trees were removed within one year prior to the date the development, subdivision application, demolition, grading and building permit applications were submitted, these protected trees and/or heritage trees are also subject to the replacement policy set forth in paragraphs (4) and (5) above. (10)(12) Any tree transplanted on-site shall not be counted as a protected tree or heritage tree under this section and therefore does not require replacement under this section, provided it is viable at 36 months 12 months after the permit's final inspection per Part (12). (11)(13) Amount of required replacement trees in (4) and (5) above shall be a variety of types and sizes as demonstrated below. Species shall comply with Hennepin County's "Recommended Tree List." (14) Tree replacement may be fulfilled by planting trees at a different site from their home. The different site can be private or public land, at the choice of the City staff. City controls where the planting will happen and the species of the trees that will be planted. Deciduous (dbh) Coniferous (in feet) Lot size<1 acre Lot size>/=1 acre 3½” or greater 8’ or greater 70% 50% 4½” or greater 10’ or greater 20% 25% 5½” or greater 12’ or greater 10% 25% Page 34 of 36 Existing text – XXXX Stricken text – XXXX Added text – XXXX 5 (12)(15) Financial Guarantee. a. The city shall, at its option, require cash escrow or a letter of credit satisfactory to the city in the amount of 110 percent of the value of the tree replacement identified in the tree protection plan, securing the full performance of tree protection plan. The amount of such security shall be calculated by the fees described in Parts (4)f and (5)f. The maximum cash escrow or letter of credit shall be $50,000. b. Release of financial guarantee. The financial security shall be released based on the following schedule: i. Upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy and approval by city forester that the tree protection plan has been met: forester will inspect the site and calculate actual fee owed based on how much dbh preserved or replaced on site. The original escrow or line of credit, minus this fee, is 50 percent released at this time. ii. Thirty-six months after issuance of certificate of occupancy, an applicant must submit a landscape review by a certified arborist, indicating planted and preserved trees are still healthy. If any trees are found to be unhealthy, the certified arborist can replace these trees onsite and the balance of the financial guarantee (50 percent of financial guarantee net of fees in Part a) are released at this time. If the applicant does not opt to replace trees onsite, these fees are considered owed to the city and retained permanently. Section 2. This ordinance is effective immediately and will apply to existing permits.
