City of Edina
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 The Ebenezer Society, on behalf of the 7500 York Cooperative is requesting an amendment to their
approved site plan for 76-unit, 4-story senior housing project.
1.02 The purpose of the amendment is to relocate an existing "air cooler" air conditioning unit to the east
side of the recently constructed building.
1.03 The air cooler was not shown on the site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission or City Council,
and was not shown on the building permit plans that were reviewed by staff at the time of issuance of
the building permit.The unit was recently constructed, and planning staff received complaints shortly
thereafter regarding noise and the look of the unit.
1.04 The applicant installed the air conditioning unit on the west side of the recently completed building. By
definition, this unit is considered a structure, and therefore, must meet structure setback
requirements.The required side-street setback in this instance is 35 feet.The chiller was installed with
a 17.4 foot side-street setback; therefore, a 17.6-foot variance would be required for that location.
1.05 Rather than request a variance, the applicant is proposing to relocate the unit to the east side of the
• building to meet the required setback.
1.06 On June 29, 2011 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Site Plan Amendment.Vote:
6 Ayes, 1 Nay and 1 abstention.
Section 2. FINDINGS
Approval is subject to the following findings:
1. The proposed plans are consistent with the approved Site Plan for the development.
2. The air conditioning unit would be properly screened, and would not impact the building or
parking areas.
3. The air conditioning unit would be relocated to move further away from adjacent residential
property and further away from the new building.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, approves the Site Plan
Amendment for the Ebenezer Society at 3451 Parklawn Avenue.
Approval is subject to the following Conditions:
1. In addition to meeting the previously approved site plan conditions for the site, the site must

operating at maximum capacity during the testing periods. Final test reports indicating
compliance with the noise standards must be submitted to the Edina Health Department. If
