Ms. Sarah Bellefuil stated the City purchased the property at 5009
Winnetka Avenue North from HUD in February of 1994. The site has been
prepared for the construction of a handicap accessible twin home. Staff
has been working with Equal Access Homes to design a fully accessible
twin home plan.
.She noted the access will be from 51st Avenue rather than Winnetka
Avenue. Two design options were illustrated with the main difference
being the roof style (hip roof or gable roof style). The estimated cost of
construction is $155,000 {not including options, landscaping, curbcuts,
driveway, sidewalk, or service hook-up).
The EDA discussed maintenance free siding and windows, landscaping,
and roof styles. Chairman Erickson expressed a preference to the wide
siding. Commissioner Enck advised against placing a strip of grass
between the driveways as it is difficult to maintain and is attractive only
a short while.
Mr. Mark Hanson, City Engineer, mentioned a preference to a peaked roof
(gable) than a hip roof because there may be less dripping onto the
driveway when the snow melts from the garage roof.
Ms. Bellefuil mentioned the importance of the structure blending into the
neighborhood.
The EDA directed staff to make a decision on the roof line.
MOTION Motion was made by Commissioner Williamson, seconded by
Item 5 Commissioner Wehling, to approve the concept design for the twin home
to be built at 5009 Winnetka Avenue North. All present voted in favor.
Motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Commissioner Williamson, seconded by
Commissioner Enck to adjourn the meeting. All present voted in favor.
The New Hope EDA adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS/AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE TWIN
HOME AT 5009 WINNETKA AVENUE NORTH (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 505)
At the November 14th EDA meeting, the EDA approved a resolution authorizing the execution of a
Letter of Agreement with Equal Access Homes to provide design services/prepare plans and
specifications for the construction of a handicapped accessible twin home at 5009 Winnetka Avenue
North (Improvement Project No. 505). At the December 12th EDA meeting, the EDA reviewed
concept construction plans and provided input on certain design elements. Final plans and
specifications have now been prepared and the enclosed resolution approves the plans and
specifications and authorizes advertisement for bids. Pending further input from the EDA on design
changes, it is anticipated that bids would be opened on February 15th and considered by the EDA on
February 27th, with construction to start in March.
The City of New Hope purchased the property at 5009 Winnetka Avenue North from HUD on
February 7, 1994. Since the time of purchase, the City has prepared the site for the construction of
a handicap accessible twin home. During the past several weeks, the City has been working with
Equal Access Homes to design a twin home plan that is fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.
The project is being sponsored by the City in conjunction with the 5-City CO-OP Northwest
Community Housing Revitalization Corporation and is being funded, in part, with Federal HOME
Program funding. The CRC has signed a Letter of Intent to provide second mortgages so that the twin
home will provide affordable housing for persons with special needs. The City will oversee the
construction, and upon completion the homes will be sold to qualified buyers (who will execute a
purchase agreement prior to the start of construction). Three persons with special needs have already
pre-qualified and are interested in the project.

Request for Action 2 1-9-95
A reduced set of the final plans and specs for the twin home is attached to this request. Access is
from the north via 51st Avenue. Each unit will be 1,290 square feet and have an oversized two car
garage. Each unit has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, living room, dining room, and utility
room. Attachment 1 shows a list of accessibility features that are included in the design. In response
to the discussion at the December 12th EDA meeting, the final design includes a gable roof over the
two garages, a bay window, and wide aluminum siding on the exterior of the building. The gable roof
addresses the concern about water nmoff onto the driveway during the winter months. The building
will also be wired for a security system if the buyer wishes to add one. The estimated cost of
construction is $157,000 and does not include landscaping, curb cuts, installation of a driveway and
sidewalk, or water/sewer service hook-ups. All items except the landscaping will be sent out for bid
with the building plans and specs as alternates. The landscaping will be completed by the City, with
a possible 50/50 matching grant for landscaping on public property. A preliminary landscaping plan
designed by Tom Schuster, the City Forester, is attached.
The platting/subdivision of this parcel is currently in process with the Planning Commission approving
the preliminary plat on January 3rd. The final plat should be ready for Council approval by January
23rd. The Planning Commission recommended moving the zero lot line four (4) feet to the west
which would move the twin home four feet further from Winnetka and provide a 37 foot setback from
the right-of-way and staff concurs with that recommendation.
There has been some concern raised about traffic noise from Winnetka Avenue and whether or not
adequate insulation is being provided. The Building Official has reviewed the plans and has indicated
that the house will be insulated to the standards required by the State: the walls will have an insulation
value of R-22 and the attic will have an R-44 value. In addition, all of the exterior walls will be 2"
x 6" or 6 inches thick. Many of the homes along Winnetka have only 4" thick walls and, depending
on their age, do not have the amount of insulation required in newer homes. The Building Official
also stated that noise does not penetrate walls, but actually penetrates areas around doors and windows.
Because the City is requiring high quality windows and doors, the way to decrease possible noise
infiltration is to caulk around door and window openings. Staff also spoke with the designer about
insulation for the plans and specs. He stated the exterior walls will have R-19 insulation batts in the
walls with 25/32 BuiltRite sheathing for a total value of R-22. In addition, the windows will be
Andersen double-pane casement windows with tandem latches, and the front entry door will be a six
panel steel insulated door with self-closing hinges. In addition, at the Planning Commission's request,
the twin home has been moved west four feet, making the side yard setback from Winnetka Avenue
to the main exterior wall 39 feet. This distance is favorable compared to other properties that have
been built along Winnetka Avenue.
Based on the above information, staff generally feels that the insulation in the plans adequately
addresses the noise concern. However, if the EDA wants to consider additional options, staff would
recommend the following for consideration:
1. Install a 1/2 inch thick sound channel on the interior wall on the Winnetka side to dampen
vibrations (these are usually installed between party walls). Cost = $245.00.
2. Increase the wall thickness from 2" x 6" to 2" x 8" on the Winnetka side (this would increase
the insulation value to R-27). Cost = $365.00.
3. Increase the insulation values on the Winnetka side from R-19 to R-21. Cost = $65.00.
The cost for the alternatives is nominal and staff is certainly open to recommendations from the EDA.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution approving the plans and specifications and authorizing
advertisement for bids.

RE: Landscaping at S009 Winnetka
This memo is in response to your request for information concerning landscaping at 5009
Winnetka Avenue North. During the past week I have been working Doug Sandstad and
Tom Schuster on a landscaping plan for the site. Tom Schuster has designed a
landscaping plan for the property and has written up a spec sheet that will be used when
we go out for bids. The landscaping plan is attached for your reference.
As you can see fi:om the plan, there are a variety of plant materials including deciduous,
conifer and ornamental trees, and bushes. The trees and bushes that are currently on the
site and in good condition have been incorporated into the plan. The area between the
two garage doors has been burmed slightly and has ornamental bushes. This was
included because the area between the garage doors is six feet rather than the usual four
feet in width.
Also included on the plan is the driveway and sidewalks. The sidewalks were added to
improve access to and fi:om Winnetka Avenue.
