RESOLUTION NO. 2020-64
APPROVING PRELIMINARY REZONING FROM R-1, SINGLE DWELLING UNIT
DISTRICT TO PUD, PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND PRELIMINARY SITE
PLAN APPROVAL AT 5132 & 5136-48 HANKERSON AVENUE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Donnay Homes, Inc., on behalf of Elizabeth and Peter MacDonagh is proposing to
redevelop the property at the corner of Hankerson Avenue and 52nd Street West.
(5132 and 5136-48 Hankerson Avenue)
1.02 The proposal is to tear down the existing two-story four-unit apartment at 5136-48
Hankerson and the single-family home at 5132 Hankerson, and build two four unit,
two and a half-story townhomes.
1.03 The applicant has revised their original plans by eliminating two units out of the
project and propose two separate 4-unit buildings to create more greenspace and
preserve trees on south side of the property. The revisions change the previous
request from a high-density designation to medium density.
1.04 The two properties are currently zoned R-1, Single Dwelling Unit District; the four-
unit apartment is an existing nonconforming use. The site is guided low density
attached residential, which allows between 4-8 units per acre. The properties total .67
acres or 29,185 square feet in size. The existing density is 7.4 units per acre, which
would fit the medium density range (5-12 units per acre). The proposed density would
increase to 11.9 units per acre; therefore, this request would require a comprehensive
plan amendment.
1.05 To accommodate the request, the following is requested:
A Rezoning from R-1, Single-Dwelling Unit District to PUD, Planned Unit
Development and Preliminary Site Plan
1.06 On May 27, 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval
of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Vote: 7 Ayes and 0 Nays.
1.07 On June 16, 2020 the City Council held a public hearing and considered the request.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
RESOLUTION NO. 2020-64
Page 2
1. The site is unique in its proximity to the Grandview District and higher density development. A
recommendation in the Grandview Transportation Plan is that 52nd Street connect to Vernon
Avenue by pedestrian or vehicle. Higher densities are typically located on higher capacity streets
and commercial areas.
2. The proposed buildings have been designed to fit the neighborhood and would provide a
reasonable transition from the high-density apartments to the south and bank to the east.
3. The front setbacks would be consistent to the single-family homes to the north.
4. Provides a housing type not being developed in the City.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, approves
the Preliminary Rezoning from R-1, Single-Dwelling Unit District to PUD, Planned Unit Development
District, and Preliminary Site Plan approval.

1. The Final Development Plans must be consistent with the Preliminary Development Plans dated
May 4, 2020, and the materials board as presented to the Planning Commission.
2. The Final Landscape Plan must meet all minimum landscaping requirements per Chapter 36 of
the Zoning Ordinance. A performance bond, letter-of-credit, or cash deposit must be submitted
for one and one-half times the cost amount for completing the required landscaping, screening,
or erosion control measures at the time of any building permit. The property owner is
responsible for replacing any required landscaping that dies after the project is built.
3. Compliance with all the conditions outlined in the city engineer’s memo dated May 18, 2020
and the building official’s memo dated May 11, 2020.
4. Approval of a Site Improvement Performance Agreement at Final approval,
5. Submit a copy of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit. The City may require
revisions to the approved plans to meet the district’s requirements.
6. Final Rezoning is contingent on the Metropolitan Council approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendments.
