Next Meeting of the Edina Planning Commission Wednesday, September 25, 2013 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Kris Aaker September 11, 2013 B-13-17 Assistant Planner Recommended Action: Approve the variance as requested. Project Description A 27 foot setback variance from a pond at 6616 Woodcrest Drive to increase the ridge height of the roof on the back side of the home for a second floor addition to accommodate bedroom space at the same 23 foot setback from the pond in the rear yard as the existing home for property owner Casey Holley. INFORMATION/BACKGROUND The subject property is located on the west side of Woodcrest Drive consisting of a 2 story walk -out home with an attached two car garage, (see attachments A.1— A.5, site location, Ariel photos). The home backs up to a pond and provides a 23 foot setback from the water body. The zoning ordinance requires a minimum 50 foot setback from naturally occurring lakes, ponds and streams. The existing home is nonconforming and is 27 feet into the required setback. Over three fourths of the home is within the nonconforming pond setback, (see attached survey A.6 and A16.). The property owners would like to expand the second floor to include two new Bedrooms. The second floor addition will match the existing nonconforming setback of the back wall of the home. There is no opportunity for a first floor expansion due to lot coverage requirements and the living room on the front side of the home has a vaulted ceiling and is not conducive to a second floor expansion, (see attached photos, floor plans and elevations, attachments: A.6 — A.23). The zoning ordinance requires a minimum 50 foot setback for structures near a pond. The ordinance has been amended as required by the Department of Natural resources over the years with increased setbacks required from all water bodies, regardless of where the existing structure is located. The City of Edina retains the authority to process variances from water body setbacks. The proposed second story addition complies with all of the setback and height requirements with the exception of the existing nonconforming setback from the pond. The only opportunity for expansion of the home is to the second floor. SUPPORTING INFORMATION Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Single -dwelling homes. Easterly: Single -dwelling homes. Southerly: Single -dwelling homes. Westerly: Pond/Single-dwelling homes Existing Site Features The subject property is 13, 338 square feet in area. The existing home was built in 1969. Planning Guide Plan designation: Zoning: Building Design The proposal is to construct.

Yes. Staff believes the proposal is reasonable for four reasons: 1. The proposed use is permitted in the R-1, Single Dwelling Unit Zoning District and complies with all requirements with the exception of second floor setback from the pond. The addition will match the existing nonconforming setback to the pond. 2. The addition is appropriate in size and scale for the lot and the improvements will enhance the property and not detract from neighborhood. The footprint of the home will not increase. 3. The improvements will provide a reasonable use of the site and improve on the existing conditions. Spacing between the proponent's and neighboring structures will remain the same. 4. The home improvement and height increase would provide enough space to accomplish bedroom areas without having to completely reconfigure the property, (no tear-down/re-build). Is the proposed variance justified? Yes. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: Section 850.0.Subd., requires the following findings for approval of a variance: Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will: 9) Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may include functional and aesthetic concerns. Staff believes the proposed variance is reasonable. A practical difficulty is the original placement of the home and setback from the pond. The current setback requirement from the pond creates an unbuildable lot. 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? Yes. The unique circumstance is the inability to increase the roof height to provide living space. An addition to the back of the home with a matching setback is the least intrusive solution to add onto the home. The change in pond setback is not a self-created. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The proposed improvements will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The footprint of the home will remain the same and spacing between structures will remain the same. The addition will be recessed from the front wall of the garage to reduce impact from the street -The addition conforms to all of the zoning ordinances requirements with the exception of the required setback from the pond. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the Planning Commission approve the variance. Approval is based on the following findings: 1) With the exception of the variance requested, the proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for the R-1, Single Dwelling Unit District. 2) The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance, because: a. The proposed use of the property is reasonable; as it slightly alters existing conditions without reducing setback or impacting the surrounding neighbors. 4 b. The imposed setback and existing house location do not provide opportunity for an increase in second floor area C. The original placement of the home closer to the pond than currently allowed prohibits expansion on the second floor without the benefit of a variance Approval of the variance is subject to the following conditions: 1) Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the conditions below: Survey date stamped: August 23, 2013. Building plans/ elevations date stamped: August 23, 2013.

Thanks for inviting our input. Bill Belknap 5624 Woodcrest Drive Edina, MN. 55424 Sent from my iPad PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Cary Teague September 11, 2013 VI.B Director of Planning INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Project Description Great Neighborhood Homes Inc. on behalf of Douglas Johnson is proposing to subdivide the property at 6609 Blackfoot Pass into two lots. (See property location on pages Al—A3.) The existing home would be torn down, and two new homes built on the new lots. (See applicant narrative and plans on pages A4— A16.) The new home on Lot 1 would be located generally where the existing home is located. The home on Lot 2, would be located toward the street in an area away from the adjacent home to the south, to avoid large Oak trees and some of the steeper slopes on the site. (See page A14.) To accommodate the request the following is required: 1. A subdivision; 2. Front yard setback variance from 100 feet to 45 feet for proposed Lot 2. Both lots would gain access off Blackfoot Pass. Within this neighborhood, the median lot area is 27,131 square feet, median lot depth is 183 feet, and the median lot width is 146 feet. (See attached median calculations on page Al 6.) The new lots would meet the median width, depth, and lot size requirements. A new home could be built on Lot 2 without the need for a variance, however, in doing so some of the best trees on the site would be removed (large Oak trees); more slopes would be disturbed, and the home would be located much closer to the existing home at 6705 Cheyenne Trail. (See page A.) Surrounding Land Uses The lots on all sides of the subject properties are zoned and guided low- density residential. Existing Site Features The existing site contains a single-family home and attached garage. This lot is larger than most in the neighborhood, contains slopes with mature trees. (See pages Al, A2 and Al 1.) Planning Guide Plan designation: Zoning: Lot Dimensions Single -dwelling residential R-1, Single -dwelling district As demonstrated above, the proposed subdivision would meet all minimum lot size requirements. Grading/Drainage and Utilities Grading and drainage plans specific to any proposed house would be reviewed at the time of building permit. Drainage from any new home, garage or driveway would have to be directed to Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail. Sewer and water are available to the site. Specific hook-up locations would be reviewed at the time of a building permit for each lot. A Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit would also be required. Primary Issue • Is the proposed Plat with a front Yard Setback Variance reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes that the proposed Plat with the front yard setback variance for Lot 2 is reasonable for the site for the following reasons: 1. Both of the proposed lots meet the City of Edina's minimum lot size requirements. (See above table.) 2 Area Lot Width Depth REQUIRED 27,131 s.f. 146 feet 183 feet Lot 1 46,473s.f. 153 feet 268 feet Lot 2 30,920 s.f. 150 feet 323 feet As demonstrated above, the proposed subdivision would meet all minimum lot size requirements. Grading/Drainage and Utilities Grading and drainage plans specific to any proposed house would be reviewed at the time of building permit. Drainage from any new home, garage or driveway would have to be directed to Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail. Sewer and water are available to the site. Specific hook-up locations would be reviewed at the time of a building permit for each lot. A Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit would also be required. Primary Issue • Is the proposed Plat with a front Yard Setback Variance reasonable for this site? Yes. Staff believes that the proposed Plat with the front yard setback variance for Lot 2 is reasonable for the site for the following reasons: 1. Both of the proposed lots meet the City of Edina's minimum lot size requirements. (See above table.) 2 2. Building pads have been located on the site to cause the least amount of impact on the sites mature trees and slopes. (See page A14.) 3. The proposed building pad for Lot 2 would be located further away from the existing home at 6705 Cheyenne Trail, than would a code compliant home. (See pages Al4—A15.) 4. The findings for a variance for the building pad for Lot 2 would be met. Per state law and the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal meets the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: a) Will the proposal relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with the ordinance requirements? Yes. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. "Practical difficulties" may include functional and aesthetic concerns. The practical difficulty is caused by the existing high quality mature Oak trees and slopes located in the area where a code compliant building pad would be. (See pages A14—A15.) In addition, if a home were constructed in the code compliant building pad area, it would be located closer to the home at 6705 Cheyenne Trail. By moving the home on Lot 2 up closer to the street, it would not only preserve the mature Oaks and slopes, but also the vegetation that provides a natural screen between the two properties. (See page A14.) Staff would recommend requiring a conservation easement over the slope and Oak trees that are to be preserved to permanently preserve those resources. b) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self- created? The circumstances of the mature trees, slopes and proximity of the adjacent home to the south are not created by the applicant and are generally unique in the R-1 District. Additionally, there is an extra area of green space within the right-of- way of Cheyenne Trail. This area is between 18-20 feet, which from the street would give the appearance of a greater front yard setback. A typical green space within the right-of-way is between 5-8 feet. Therefore, the home would be set 65 feet back from the edge of the paved roadway. (See page A14.) c) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The proposed building Location at 45 feet from Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail would not alter the character of the neighborhood. The home at 6621 Cheyenne Trail has a front yard setback of 42 feet and 6624 Cheyenne Trail has a front yard setback of 45 feet. (See page Ala and A2.) The applicant is also agreeable to not construct a home to maximize the height allowed by code. He would limit the total building height to 35 feet, when the code would allow a home to be 40 feet tall to the ridge line of the home. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the City Council approve the proposed two lot subdivision of 6609 Blackfoot Pass with a Front Yard Setback variance for Lot 2 from 100 feet to 45 feet from Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed Plat meets all required standards and ordinances for a subdivision. 2. The subdivision would meet the neighborhood medians for lot width and depth and area. 3. The proposal meets the required standards for a variance, because: a. The practical difficult unique to the property is caused by the large mature Oak trees and slopes on the east half of Lot 2 where a code compliant building pad would be located. These are natural conditions, not caused by property owner. b. The requested variances are reasonable in the context of the immediate neighborhood. There are two homes with similar front yard setbacks at 6621 and 6624 Cheyenne Trail. 4 C. There is 18-20 feet of green space in the right-of-way of Cheyenne Trail, which would result in a 65 -foot setback from the edge of the paved roadway. d. The variance results in the saving of mature Oak trees, protection of slopes, and moves the home further away from the existing home at 6705 Cheyenne Trail. Approval is subject to the following conditions: The city must approve the final plat within one year of preliminary approval or receive a written application for a time extension or the preliminary approval will be void. 2. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the following items must be submitted: a. If required, submit evidence of Nine Mile Watershed District approval. The City may require revisions to the preliminary plat to meet the district's requirements. b. A curb -cut permit must be obtained from the Edina Engineering department. C. Utility hook-ups are subject to review of the city engineer. d. Grading and drainage plans specific to any proposed house would be reviewed at the time of building permit, and shall be subject to review and approval of the city engineer. Drainage from any new home, garage or driveway would have to be directed to the street. 3. Any new home on Lot 2 would be limited to a ridge line height of 35 feet. 4. A 10 -foot conservation easement must be established along the lot lines to preserve the vegetation areas along the streets and along the north and south lot lines. 5.

COPYRIGHT ® HENNEPIN COUNTY 2013 k1a, From: Scott Busyn — Great Neighborhood Homes To: Corey Teague Community Development Director City of Edina Subject: Subdivision of 6609 Blackfoot Pass into Two Separate Lots Date: July 17, 2013, Revised September %2013 Please find the attached Subdivision Application for 6609 Blackfoot Pass. Great Neighborhood Homes will be purchasing this property from Mr. Douglas L. Johnson contingent upon obtaining a successful subdivision from the City.. It is our intention to subdivide the parcel into two separate lots, noted as Lot 1 and Lot 2 on the survey. Per the attached 500 foot area study, the subdivided lots will be above the mean lot size, width, and depth of the lots in the neighborhood. Upon obtaining approval, we will be building single family homes on each lot: The survey shows the potential building pads of each home. The proposed building pad for Lot 1 will be close to the location of the exiting home on the site. We are adjusting the building pad to have a better presence on the lot (entry facing Blackfoot Pass) and to allow for better main floor exposure to the back yard (the current home has the first floor elevation at 927.0 feet and a lower level entry at 918.9 feet). The front setback of the home on Lot 1 is being proposed no closer than 53.5 feet from Blackfoot Pass. This is the average setback of the existing home at 6605 Blackfoot Pass and the proposed home on Lot 2 of 6609 Blackfoot pass. The first level floor height of the lot l home will have a maximum elevation of 928. The proposed home will meet all other zoning requirements. The proposed building paetfor the Lot 2 will have a proposed front yard setback no closer than 45' from Blackfoot Pass and no closer than 45' from Cheyenne Trail. This is in character with other front yard setbacks in the neighborhood, specifically the two other homes at the intersection of Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail. 6621 Cheyenne Trail has a front yard setback of 42' and 6624 Cheyenne Trail has a front yard setback of 45. Positioning the Lot 2 building pad in the proposed location will maximize the distance of the home from 6705 Cheyenne Trail, minimize the disruption of the >18% slope, and keep the new home away from the grove of oak trees in the rear of Lot 2. In addition, there is an existing opening on the natural forest where we are locating the driveway entrance (see exhibit A). The proposed home on Lot 2 will have a maximum first floor height of 901. This will allow adequate drainage around the home. The new home will meet all zoning setbacks except for the front setback. We sent a letter out to all homeowners within 500' and held a neighbor meeting at the site on August 8h. The meeting was attended by the adjacent neighbors at 6605 Blackfoot Pass, 6601 Blackfoot Pass, 6621 Cheyenne Trail, and 6705 Cheyenne Trail. The feedback M from the meeting was that we do what we can to maintain the wooded look of the front and sides of the lot. There is also a stone retaining wall on the south end of the comer of Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail that the neighbors hoped we did not remove. Based on this feedback, we are proposing a 10' conservation easement to maintain the wooded look of the property from the street (see exhibit B and Q. This easement is shown on the survey and will cover the north and south lot lines, as well as the front portions of the lot as shown on the survey. The only exceptions to this easement will be the driveway entrances for Lots 1 and Lots 2. Please let me know if you have any questions about this application. I can be reached at 952-807-8765 or scoff@greatneighborhoodhomes.com. Thank you for reviewing this application. 45— � t4�vy e" x� 6609 Blackfoot Pass Variance Application�' a °" Great Neighborhood Homes We are proposing a variance for the front yard setback for the proposed home on Lot 2 of 6609 Blackfoot Pass. As lot 2 is a corner lot, city ordinance requires the home to meet the front setbacks of 6605 Blackfoot Pass (62.0 feet) and 6705 Cheyenne Trail (100.9 feet). We are proposing a front setback of 45 feet from Blackfoot Pass and 45 feet from Cheyenne Trail The proposed variance will relieve practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance for front setbacks on corner lots. Meeting the setback of the home at 6705 Cheyenne Trail (100.9 feet) would require the home to be built far back on the lot and into a steep slope (survey shows where position of home would be without a variance). Placing the home in this location would create the following practical difficulties: 1. The home would need to be built into a steep slope, requiring substantial retaining walls to access the rear yard. 2. The home would be built much closer to the neighbor at 6705 Cheyenne' Trail. When I toured the site with here she much preferred the home be built further away. 3. Building the home here would be much more disruptive to the virgin forest and require the removal of many more mature oak trees than on the pad closer to the street. 4. The deeper location would require a much longer driveway, increasing the impervious surface on the site. S. The home would have to be built at a much higher elevation and appear much taller from the street. 6. The home would block the natural drainage flow of the slope on Lot 2. 7. The homeowner would have minimal backyard without building a tall retaining wall. The use of Lot 2 for building a home is a reasonable use of the property. The proposed variance will correct the following extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other properties in the vicinity: 1. Most lots in Indian Hills are not corner lots and thus do not need to meet the zoning requirements of 6609 Blackfoot Pass. In addition, other existing corner lots in Indian Hills do not have adjacent homes built as far back from the street as seen at 6705 Cheyenne Trail (see 6617 Cheyenne Trail, 6621 Cheyenne Trail, 6821 Cheyenne Trail, 6601 Blackfoot Pass, 6600 Blackfoot Pass, 6401 Indian Hills Road), or were built without having to meet the setbacks of both adjacent homes (see 6820 Cheyenne Trail,). 2. Allow for 45 foot front setbacks similar to adjacent properties at 6621 Cheyenne Trail (42 feet) and 6624 Cheyenne Trail (45 feet). 3. Allow for flat front and backyard area as is found on most homes in the area. The proposed variance will be in harmony and intent of the zoning ordinance as follows: 1. 1 believe the ordinance for corner lots was written to avoid homes being built that would break up the streetscape on more dense urban, gridded streets. 6609 Blackfoot Pass is a very wooded site and the proposed home will be built almost 100 feet from the next closest home. The existing woods and our proposed conservation easement will prevent the proposed home from breaking up the streetscape. 2. Our proposed conservation easement and positioning of the driveway entrance will maintain the same streetscape that exists today. There is a natural opening in the forest where we are positioning the driveway entrance. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood as follows: 1. Our proposed conservation easements will maintain the wooded look of the property from the front streets as well as the adjacent neighbors. 2. As stated above, there are homes near the corner of Blackfoot Pass and Cheyenne Trail that have approximately 45' front setbacks. 3. Indian Hills is Edina's most eclectic neighborhood. There are no two lots that are alike as far as setbacks, position of the homes, etc. This variance is in character with the overall eclecticism of the neighborhood. The building pad at the 45 foot front setback is a much more optimal location for the home. In addition, I can limit the building height to 35' if we build on this more level location.

We have been residents of Indian hills for over 36 years and we strongly oppose this subdivision. Indian Hills has always been the part of Edina where you could have a big lot — or 2 big lots — with a wild area surrounding your home and see the deer, fox, coyotes, raccoons and wild turkeys. You can picture what it was like before the highways and the shopping areas and you can enjoy the quiet. You can have a big house or a very big house and no one complains that you're too big because the lots are big enough to still give you privacy. We don't want to be the Country Club area . We don't want to be a "renamed neighborhood" of Indian Hills. This proposed subdivision is in the heart of the original Indian Hills and all of the homes that were added to the new neighborhood are adding data and averages that are making it look like we all have smaller lots with homes close to the street . Several homeowners in the heart of Indian Hills actually have 2 lots so they have a bigger footprint. Over 30 years ago there was a proposed subdivision at 6520 Indian Hills Road. The threat was that if the lot wasn't subdivided, a HUGE house would be built. Well, the subdivision was strongly opposed in the neighborhood and it did NOT go through. A HUGE house was built — it has since been torn down and an even bigger house was built and no one complained because the lot was big enough to support it. We don't want 6609 Blackfoot Pass subdivided. The proposed lots are out of scale and will not provide the 30' conservation easement. This will NOT be good for Indian Hills. This will NOT be good for Edina. You have the chance to avoid the problems that we are seeing in Country Club — don't bring them to Indian Hills. Kay and Lynn Laaksonen 6404 Indian Hills Road PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Cary Teague September 11, 2013 VI.C. Community Development Director INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Project Description John Adams, on behalf of property owner Ted Warner is proposing to subdivide the property at 5 Merilane into three lots. (See property location on pages A1— A4.) The existing home is located in the middle of the property, and would remain as proposed. A new driveway would be constructed to serve the existing home, as the current driveway would be located on proposed Lot 3. The existing driveway would be used for access to a new home on Lot 3. (See applicant narrative and plans on pages A5 A13.) To accommodate the request the following is required: Preliminary & Final Plat. The proposal meets all minimum lot size requirements. Within this neighborhood, the median lot area is 48,249 square feet, median lot depth is 277 feet, and the median lot width is 192. (See attached median calculations on pages A7 A9.) All three lots would gain access off Merilane. (See page A13.) Surrounding Land Uses The lots on all sides of the subject properties are single-family homes, zoned and guided low-density residential. Existing Site Features The existing site is located on the curved portion of Merilane. The site is 3.48 acres in size, and contains a single family home. The site contains some gradual slopes and mature trees. (See pages A3, A4 and A13.) Planning Guide Plan designation Zoning: Lot Dimensions Single -dwelling residential R-1, Single -dwelling district The proposed subdivision meets all lot dimension requirements. Grading/Drainage and Utilities The city engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and found them generally acceptable. Adequate drainage and utility easements are proposed along all the lot lines. The detailed grading plans would be reviewed by the city engineer at the time of building permit application for each lot. A construction management plan will be required for the construction of the new homes. A Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit would also be required. Park Dedication As with all subdivision proposals, park dedication is required. Edina City Code requires a park dedication fee of $5,000 for each additional lot created. Therefore a park dedication fee of $10,000 would be required. Primary Issue • Is the proposed subdivision reasonable for the site? Yes. Staff believes that the proposed subdivision is reasonable for the following reasons: 1. The proposed subdivision meets all minimum zoning ordinance requirements. As such, the applicant is entitled to subdivide the property. 2 Area Lot Width Depth REQUIRED 48,249 s.f. 192 feet 277 feet Lot 1 50,863 s.f. 281 feet 337 feet Lot 2 50,511 s.f. 202 feet 373 feet Lot 3 50,455 s.f. 268 feet 334 feet The proposed subdivision meets all lot dimension requirements.

A construction management plan will be required for the construction of the new homes. A Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit would also be required. Park Dedication As with all subdivision proposals, park dedication is required. Edina City Code requires a park dedication fee of $5,000 for each additional lot created. Therefore a park dedication fee of $10,000 would be required. Primary Issue • Is the proposed subdivision reasonable for the site? Yes. Staff believes that the proposed subdivision is reasonable for the following reasons: 1. The proposed subdivision meets all minimum zoning ordinance requirements. As such, the applicant is entitled to subdivide the property. 2 2. The applicant has located the driveways so as not to disturb the mature trees on the site. (See page A13.) 3. Building pad locations would meet all minimum setback requirements. (See pages Al2—A13.) The front yard setback requirements are established by the average of the two homes on either side. With the existing home to remain, the front yard setbacks for Lots 1 & 3 are established by the average setback of the existing home on Lot 2 and the adjacent homes. Staff Recommendation Because the proposed subdivision meets all of Edina's Zoning Ordinance requirements, recommend that the City Council approve the proposed three lot subdivision of 5 Merilane. Approval is based on the following findings: The proposal meets all the required standards and ordinances for a subdivision. 2. The applicant has located the driveways and home to minimize tree and slope disturbance. Approval is subject to the following conditions: The City must approve the final plat within one year of preliminary approval or receive a written application for a time extension or the preliminary approval will be void. 2. Park dedication fee of $10,000 must be paid prior to release of the final plat. 3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the following items must be submitted: a. Submit evidence of a Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval. The City may require revisions to the preliminary plat to meet the district's requirements. b. Curb -cut permits must be obtained from the Edina engineering department. Driveway plans must be consistent with the proposed grading plan to preserve as many trees as possible. C. A grading plan subject to review and approval of the city engineer. 3 d. A construction management plan will be required for the construction of the new homes. e. Utility hook-ups are subject to review of the city engineer.

We have watched Rolling Green undergo many changes, 'including numerous subdivisions and many new homes built in place of older homes being torn down. We currently have the second largest parcel in the neighborhood, alinost 3.5 acres, other than the "Short Property" which is 15 acres. It is our intention to subdivide the parcel into three separate lots, noted as Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3 on the survey. Per the attached 500 foot area study, the subdivided lots will be above the mean lot size, width and depth of the lots in the neighborhood. We have executed contracts with John Kraemer & Sons, Inc. on Lots 1 and 2, contingent upon obtaining our subdivision approval. It is Cary Kra, emer's (President of John I{iaeiner & Sons, Inc.) intention to leave the existing house on Lot 2 until he gets a client put in place that decides whether they want to remodel the existing house or tear it down and build a new single family home on lot 2. Upon obtaining approval, Kraemer would also be building a single family home on Lot 1. The survey shows the building pads for. both Lot 1, under contract with Kraemer and Lot 3 currently either being sold or possibly kept by a family member. Out proposed subdivision complies with all of the City's ordinances and we are not seeking any variances. If you have any questions about this application, please contact John F.

City of Edina • 4801 W. 5016 St • Edina, MN 55424 ty9SN�1'lr�„ 0 a �1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # Cary Teague September 11, 2013 VII.A. Community Development Director INFORMATION & BACKGROUND Project Description Mr. Michael Gorman is requesting to shift the existing lot line that divides his property at 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive and the Interlachen Country Club property. (See property location on pages Al A3.) The purpose of the request is to shift the rear lot line of the Gorman property into the golf course property to match a fence line that was installed by a previous property owner of 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive. (See narrative and the proposed lot line shift on pages A4—A8.) Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding properties and land uses include single-family homes and the Interlachen golf course, zoned and guided low-density residential (See pages A1— A2.) Existing Site Features Single-family home and the golf course. Planning Guide Plan designation: Zoning: Primary Issue Low-density residential R-1, Single-family residential • Is the proposed lot division reasonable? Yes. The resulting lot line shift does not create an additional lot. The division makes the existing lot at 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive slightly larger, going from 1.41 acres to 1.64 acres. The golf course loses a very small portion of a wooded area of the golf course. (See page A2 and A8.) The division legally establishes the lot line that has been used in practice as a result of the previous property owner's installation of a fence, retaining wall and a portion of a swimming pool on the golf course property. The resulting lots would still be larger than most in the area. The subject property at 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive is the largest lot on this portion of Mirror Lakes Drive. (See page Al.) Staff Recommendation Recommend that the City Council approve the Lot Division of 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive and the Interlachen Golf Course: Approval is subject to the following findings: 1. The proposed lot line adjustment does not create a new lot. 2. The division legally establishes the lot line that has been used in practice as a result of the previous property owner's installation of a fence on the golf course property. 3. The resulting lots are still larger than most lots in the area.

NARRariVF To: Edina Planning Commission From: Michael and Elizabeth Gorman 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive Edina, MN 55436 Re: Lot Division Application (Miinor Lot Line Adjustment) Date: August 25th, 2013 Summary: The Gormans live at 5100 Mirror Lakes Drive, legally described as Loi, Block 2, Mirror Lakes in Edina. The Gorman property adjoins Interlachen Country Club (ICC). The parties are seeking a Lot Line Adjustment to reflect the purchase by the Gorman family of.23 of an acre from ICC (Parcel A in the attached documents). A purchase agreement for this transaction has been signed between the parties. Rationale: The purpose of the transaction is for the Gormans to acquire property from ICC which has been encroached upon by a fence installed by the previous owners of the Gorman property. The transaction will facilitate a clear delineation of the parties' respective property interests.
