“resident Janie Weston did come to council and... she says the tree ordinance is not limited to just Residential Properties it says that it includes subdivisions The Only Exception is Parkland”

“I don't know if you know and this is we did hear from another Resident I think a few maybe a month or two ago and I think it had to do with conquered Avenue in the sidewalks and and there was frustration there that he had been misquoted so anything we can do to make sure that when we're um capturing what residents say that we're doing it um accurately I think we need to be sure we do that because that's also about transparency”

“when they're replacing uh lighting structures they're adding in the ability to in some appropriate places to do EV charging right on the on the light post... I'm wondering if we've given that any consideration uh in this process that we are going about of replacing some of our LED lighting all over town”

“we have not considered that it's an interesting idea I think I can think of a many different things we got to think about and figure out first before we do that including rightaway ordinance and what it looks like but the most important piece is we're going to the model where Excel owns all of our light Poes all of our street lights so it really is a conversation with them on what they want to see moving forward”

“again all of us received and this is um from Resident Dany Weston uh email that was very detailed about concerns regarding um the limited warranty of the this is only for a year for all of these trees um also specific concerns about Oaks and you know the size are they going to be able to make it”

“the industry standard really has been one year on the trees if we ask for a longer warranty they'll charge more money because there is a risk with every time we plant a tree that a tree can die he's been experiencing 10% or less on the larger spaded trees so the city Forester has confidence that these trees in general mostly were would survive”

“It's also providing a type of housing that we talk about where are short of um in the city and that's that missing middle housing so missing middle is a range of uh house scale buildings with multiple units comparable in scale and form with detached single family homes and that's exactly what's being proposed here”

“I have a hard time believing that the result would be something that was 1.2 million or more and in fact the reality that these houses continue to exist today um sort of undermines that argument and I'm very concerned about the fact that this is removing two of the more affordable houses that we have in Edina and that stock of housing is really diminishing”

“for me the way I'm processing this it's a much bigger question to me than just these two properties and so that that was the reason I asked the earlier question what Market what are we targeting for the cost or um for the market price for each of these... I think if we think through how we want to structure this but big picture not just these two lots um that to me is the heart question”

“the north home in the picture the red home that's a th000 square ft... they couldn't sell it to families... so that home is compromised and you wanted to know if if homes like this are are all should be kept or in within the committee and what dictates that over the last 20 years I've had a lot of residents who have called me and wanted to sell their home and so I got and I meet with them and I view the home and I can remember probably at least 10 of those homes where I've told the homeowners keep your home do some remodeling on it and sell it it's a sailable product and then some of them I go in like this particular one on the North side it's not a it's not a home that can be kept and remodeled”
