Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.

Erika Ding, Safety Captain, thanked the City Council and supporters for accomplishing the Proclamation.
She shared that on December 13, 2014, three robotics tournaments would be held at Edina High School
and Valley View Middle School.
VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD—Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file.
VI.A. 201S OPERATING BUDGET—PRESENTED
Manager Neal shared that this step was important in the process of approval. The major change was the
addition of a debt service component due to Braemar Field. A positive was that tax capacity increased by
14% due to larger developments and increased value of properties.
Finance Director Roggeman presented the staff proposed 2015 budget and levy and shared that the public
hearing was the last step before the Council was required to adopt a final 2015 budget and levy at the
December 16, 2014, City Council meeting. Mr. Roggeman shared the 2015 through 2019 Capital
Improvement Plan and explained the City had a Biennial Budget Process. On the even numbered years,
the City focused on the Capital Improvement Plan and on the odd numbered years, the City focused on
the Operating Budget. Mr. Roggeman noted that residents, the Council, and City staff have identified many
important projects to work on, but the City would need to prioritize the most important projects because
there were not funds to complete all of the projects. Finding new funding sources for the Capital
Improvement Plan would be important in the next few years in order to continue to maintain and improve
the infrastructure and facilities. Mr. Roggeman presented the 2015 Operating Budget and Tax Levy. There
were a total of nine proposed levies for 2015 for a total of $29,700,010. The increase in debt levies was
mainly due to the construction of Braemar Field. However, the decertification of the Centennial Lakes
Tax Increment Financing District was added back to the City's general tax rolls for a 14% increase in tax
base.
The Council asked if the increase would change the tax notices sent to taxpayers. Mr. Neal responded
that the notices already reflected that positive change. Assessor Wilson explained that the proposed tax
values were mailed in March 2014 along with tax statements and the statements explained the appeal
process. Citizens may contact the Assessing Officer and work with City Staff. If they wish they can come
before the City's Board of Appeal and Equalization. Further, citizens can file an appeal with the County.
There were no costs associated with the appeals process. The values were set when the County Board
met in June.
The Council asked about property tax relief for eligible property owners. Mr. Wilson replied that the
program, called the Homestead Credit Refund and administered by the Minnesota Department of
Revenue, had expanded in 2013 in order to increase eligibility. It compared household income to property
taxes and if eligible, provided a property tax refund. There was also a Special Property Tax Refund
Page 2
Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2, 2014
Program that was not based on income. If a home's property taxes increased more than 12%, that
property was eligible for a refund.
Mr. Roggeman reviewed the estimated tax impact to a single family residential property. The estimated
median market value had increased from $400,000 to $438,800 for 2015, a 9.7% increase. The estimated
City portion of taxes would increase from $1,141 to $1,193, a 4.56% increase. Mr. Roggeman then
compared Edina's taxes to other Hennepin County cities through tax rate history, tax per capita, and total
revenue.
The Council confirmed that General Fund levy (what it takes to operate the City) included an increase of
1.89%, but the Debt Service Fund levy boosted the total to +8%.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:51 p.m.
Public Testimony
Jim Grotz, 5513 Park Place, addressed the Council.
Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Bennett, to close the public hearing.
Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
Mr. Wilson addressed issues raised during public testimony, indicating that a large amount of real estate
turn over in an area should not affect a property's valuation. The methodology was the same, to compare
generated values to prices of homes sold.
Mr. Wilson answered a question of the Council concerning the Board of Appeals and Equalization,
indicating that the Board was comprised of five members who were residents of the City of Edina and have
vast real estate experience. Most disagreements over a valuation were handled informally, but if that does
not resolve the issue, the property owner could appeal to Hennepin County or file a case in Tax Court.
VI.B. 2015 BUILDING FEES AND LIQUOR LICENSE FEES, AMENDING SECTION 2-724
SCHEDULE A SETTING FEES FOR 201 S—ORDINANCE NO. 2014-21 —ADOPTED
Mr. Roggeman presented the Building fees and Liquor License fees that were proposed to increase from
2014 to 2015. He answered a question of the Council, indicating that the building permit fee changes were
recommended by the Building Division because of the demand for permits and staff time involved. The
liquor fees tend to increase each year.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m.

VI.C. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR BUILDING HEIGHT, DENSITY, AND
FLOOR AREA RATIO, PRELIMINARY REZONING, AND PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT
PLAN, 7200 FRANCE AVENUE, 7200 LLC — RESOLUTION NO. 2014-ISO AND
RESOLUTION NO. 2014-ISI — TABLED TO DECEMBER 16, 2014 AND STAFF DIRECTED
TO PREPARE FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST
Community Development Director Presentation
Community Development Director Teague presented a request from 7200 LLC to redevelop the property
at 7200 France Avenue. The proposal was to tear down the existing office building and redevelop it with a
four- and five-story mixed use development project that included 160 apartments, 20,000 feet of retail
space, and a two-level underground parking ramp. Mr. Teague described the plan changes made by the
applicant based on discussions with the Planning Commission and Council. Mr. Teague outlined the steps
required for approval, noting Wenck Associates had completed a traffic study. A shadow study was also
completed that showed more impact during the winter months than in the summer months. The
Watershed District had drainage concerns; however, an infiltration tank would require more tree removal.
The Planning Commission and City staff recommended denial of both requests. The Planning Commission
further recommended completion of a Small Area Plan for the Office Residential designated land on the
west side of France Avenue.
The Council asked questions relating to the Lennar project as it compared to this one concerning
setbacks. The Council also asked about traffic volume if a developer built without requiring a variance. Ed
Terhaar, Traffic Consultant, reported that the existing use generated 437 trips per day. The proposed use
(with variance) could generate 2,580 trips per day. A combined use of medical and restaurant (no
variance) could generate 2,978 trips per day. Mr. Terhaar also answered questions of the Council relating
to cut through traffic, stating that the opportunity exists and was difficult to control. Speed humps and
other traffic calming tools could be used, but at a cost.
Proponent Presentation
Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture, presented architectural highlights of the project and addressed traffic
concerns, noting the project planned equal consideration for car, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic.
Lori Boisclair, Boisclair Corporation, shared that this team of developers 'won' this site because the
previous owner liked this plan for mixed use. Ms. Boisclair reported that the site would have 32 affordable
housing units that were committed for 30 years. The project would allow life cycle renewal within the
community. Ms. Boisclair discussed Floor Area Ratio and building height.
Adam Seraphine, NHH Properties, reported that the developers were aware of resident contention with
increased density. The developers were excited about the project, but wanted to be mindful of the
residents' and the Planning Commission's concerns. Mr. Seraphine noted that requiring a lower density
would mean losing some of the great amenities such as underground parking and bicycle facilities. Mr.
Seraphine shared a Plan B for the site for a medical office building should this plan not be approved.
Mr. Dovolis answered questions of the Council relating to telework and bicycle amenities. Ms. Boisclair
answered questions of the Council relating to types of retail such as yoga, fitness, wine bar, etc.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 9:12 p.m.

Motion carried.
Mr. Terhaar answered a question of the Council, indicating that traffic forecasts from other new projects
were included when the traffic forecast for this project was developed.
Attorney Knutson answered a question of the Council, indicating that if the Comprehensive Plan
amendment was approved, the changes would be applied to the designated land use and would not apply
to other locations. Mr. Knutson also advised that the owner had the legal right to use the land as it was
zoned and guided.
Sheldon Berg, DJR Architecture, answered questions of the Council relating to flooding issues, indicating
that the developer was aware of potential flooding and remedies were being sought.
The Council asked Mr. Neal to share how the City interacts with the school districts. Mr. Neal explained
that the City had regular exchanges with all of the school districts within Edina and a joint demographic
study had recently been completed.
The Council discussed the option of moving project traffic to France Avenue instead of allowing resident
use of 72nd Avenue. Mr. Dovolis noted that the developers would approve of that action, but would need
the City's help in seeking County approval.
Mr. Teague answered a question of the Council concerning other instances where the Comprehensive
Plan had been amended.
The Council discussed the conditions it would need to approve this project including a curb cut on France
Avenue of sufficient size to handle all traffic, a maximum height of sixty-three feet eliminating the
penthouse, non-motorized amenities, telework amenities, and retail uses to be defined as part of the
Planned Unit Development. The Council directed staff to rewrite Resolution No. 2014-150 and
Resolution No. 2014-151 with the discussed findings and conditions of approval. Member Sprague
made a motion, seconded by Member Bennett, tabling action to December 16, 2014 for
Resolution No. 2014-150, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Building Height, Density,
Page 5
Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2 2014

6500 FRANCE AVENUE, AURORA INVESTMENTS, LLC — RESOLUTION NO. 2014-1 S2
AND ORDINANCE NO. 2014-24—ADOPTED
Community Development Director Presentation
Community Development Director Teague presented the request from Aurora Investments, LLC for final
review for redevelopment of 6500 France Avenue. In 2012, the Council approved a final development plan
rezoning for a medical office building. In June 2013, the developer changed the request from a medical
office to senior housing and assisted living. Mr. Teague outlined the changes since the preliminary plan was
approved. It was noted that a traffic study was completed that reported a large reduction in traffic from a
medical building use to senior housing. The staff and Planning Commission recommend approval.
The Council noted that Condition I I in Resolution No. 2014-152 should have included trash pick-up along
with deliveries.
Proponent Presentation
Steve Michals, Mount Development, requested final approval so construction could begin next spring.
Edward Farr, Edward Farr Architects, presented the architectural details of the site and noted changes and
refinement. Mr. Farr answered questions of the Council, indicating that if the trees on the south of the
site were ash, the trees would be replaced or treated (if needed) and that more mature trees could be
used if the Council wished.
Susan Farr, Ebenezer, answered a question of the Council, indicating that Volunteers of America was
donating some its bed allowance.
The proponents responded to the Council's questions relating to public use of the skyway, public access to
retail facilities, rental rates, sanitary sewer and water lines, planters and sidewalks, window materials,
