PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MONDAY, JULY 22, 2019 MOTION: Move to approve the Planning Commission minutes dated July 22, 2019. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. MILLER PROPERTY Request for: • Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 9.73 acres • Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 9.73 acres • Zoning District Change from R1-13.5 to R1-9.5 on 9.73 acres • Preliminary Plat of one lot into seventeen lots on 9.73 acres The subject property is located at 7120 Gerard Drive. The project proposes the subdivision of a 9.7 acre property into 17 single family lots. The property is currently zoned R1-13.5 and is proposed to be rezoned to R1-9.5. The R1-9.5 zoning allows for a maximum density of 3.5 units per acre. The project proposes a density of 1.74 units per acre. Outlot A is proposed to be deeded to the City to preserve the wetland and wetland buffer area. There are several PUD waivers requested for the property. Specifically, a reduction of front yard setback from 30 feet to 25 feet; side yard setbacks of 7.5 feet on each side rather than 10 feet on one side and 5 feet on the other and minimum lot width from 70 feet and 55 feet (for lots located on the bulb of the cul de sac) to widths as depicted in the plans. Staff recommends approval. MOTION 1: Move to close the public hearing. MOTION 2: Move to recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 9.73 acres; Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 9.73 acres; Zoning District Change from R1-13.5 to R1-9.5 Zoning District and Preliminary Plat of one lot into seventeen lots and one outlot on 9.73 acres based on Plans stamped dated ANNOTATED AGENDA August 12, 2019 Page 2 July 26, 2019 and the Staff Report dated August 8, 2019. A. PARAVEL APARTMENTS Request for: • Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 4.962 acres • Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 4.962 acres • Site Plan Review on 4.962 acres • Preliminary Plat of an outlot into one lot on 4.962 acres The project proposes the construction of a 5 story and 7 story multi-family residential development. The project includes 250 residential units and provides for primarily underground parking with limited surface parking. At the time of preparation of the agenda materials, City staff had not yet received stormwater management information necessary for the project. Therefore, staff is recommending that the public hearing be continued to August 26 in order to allow sufficient time for the receipt and review of submittal materials. MOTION 1: Move to continue the public hearing to August 26, 2019. B. COSTCO FUEL FACILITY EXPANSION Request for: • Planned Unit Development District Amendment with waivers on 18.18 acres • Site Plan Review on 18.18 acres The applicant is proposing a fuel facility expansion of the canopy to cover eight (8) new pumps. There will be no alterations to the principal Costco building. The fuel facility expansion will remove 11 existing parking stalls. Removal of the parking stalls will not reduce the required parking for the site. In order to expand the fuel facility the east ingress/egress driveway lanes will be altered. The alterations includes: • Reduction of the length of the eastbound egress lane. The proposed configuration reduces the egress driveway length internally. This may potentially create stacking into the site. • There will be a widening of the east driveway entrance at the property line, however, the number of turning lanes for east and westbound traffic remain the same as the current configuration. The submitted Traffic Study indicated the proposed alterations are acceptable. Engineering suggestion includes maintaining the length of both of the existing egress lanes on the east driveway and including a four (4) way stop internal intersection at the east driveway. This suggestion has was shared with the applicant. The applicant at this time has chosen to rely on the traffic study and not incorporate the suggestion. This is an internal traffic issue on a private site. City staff has conveyed the internal circulation concern to the applicant. The applicant is relying on the prepared traffic study. In internal traffic concern will not affect the ingress/egress point where traffic enters the public road. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the proposed PUD and site plan. ANNOTATED AGENDA August 12, 2019 Page 3 MOTION 1: Move to close the public hearing. MOTION 2: Move to recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 18.18 acres and Site Plan Review on 18.18 acres based on Plans stamped dated July 22, 2019 and the Staff Report dated August 7, 2019.

UNAPPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY, JULY 22, 2019 7:00 PM—CITY CENTER Council Chambers 8080 Mitchell Road COMMISSION MEMBERS: John Kirk, Charles Weber, Ann Higgins, Andrew Pieper, Ed Farr, Michael DeSanctis, Christopher Villarreal, Carole Mette, Balu Iyer CITY STAFF: Julie Klima, City Planner; Rod Rue, City Engineer; Kristin Harley, Recording Secretary CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER Chair Pieper called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE —ROLL CALL Commission member Villarreal was absent. III. APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION: DeSanctis moved, seconded by Kirk to approve the agenda. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. IV. MINUTES MOTION: Iyer moved, seconded by Kirk to approve the minutes of July 8, 2019. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. PARKS REZONING Request for: • Rezone City owned parks and open space parcels that are not currently zoned as such to Parks/Open Space Klima presented the PowerPoint and the staff report. The purpose was to bring the zoning in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for more appropriate and consistent regulations. The timeline showed the City adopted a Park and Open Space Zoning District in 2017. The City proposed to rezone City-owned parks, Conservation areas, and special use areas, which included 35 parks, one special PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 22, 2019 Page 2 use area, and 15 conservation areas. This would involve no physical changes and would not affect adjacent property, and thus would not affect the valuation of adjacent private properties. The rezoning restricted uses to those related to parks and open space and further ensured that these areas would remain park and open space. She described the public outreach and review process: notices were sent to approximately 9,200 residents within 500 feet of the affected properties, and these same residents received the notice of the public hearing this night. Approximately 100 residents attended an informational meeting on June 3, 2019 and staff fielded approximately 50 phone calls. The City Council Public Hearing would be scheduled for August 13, 2019. She displayed the rezoning map and the updated version which identified each affected property by number with a legend of names and the current zoning for each. In response to residents' request to understand setback requirements, Klima displayed a series of tables correlating the current zoning to the future setback requirement. Weber asked if residents would notice anything physically changed to the parks, and if this change would make it more likely to retain the parks as they were. Klima replied there would not be visible changes; only the zoning on the map would change. Any improvements would follow a separate process. This zoning change would preserve park spaces and would restrict uses allowed in commercial or industrial zones. Tom Oakes, an Eden Prairie resident, asked if new development would be allowed in the vicinity of the parks and also inquired as population increases if the City would acquire more park and open space. Klima replied any property privately owned would be governed by the Comprehensive Plan and would follow the usual development process. The proposed zoning change would not affect the adjacent properties. Bourne added Cedar Hills Park was the last planned active use park to be acquired. The might be more conservation areas acquired in the future but there were no plans for more active use parks in Eden Prairie at this time. Eapen Chacko, of 6722 Boyd Avenue, asked the definition of a conservation area versus park, and if a conservation area was to be turned into a park, what would happen to that land. Klima replied the proposed rezoning for Parks and Open Space listed all of the permitted uses, including active parks and conservation areas. There would be no change due to the rezoning. No conservation area would be made into a park and all existing restrictions would remain the same. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Weber to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. Kirk commended this zoning change as a positive step to protect the land in Eden Prairie that residents valued. Pieper noted this would define and clarify the current land uses without any change to them. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 22, 2019 Page 3 MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Weber to recommend approval of the zoning district change from Rural, Public, R1-13.5, R1-9.5, RM-6.5, RM-2.5, I- Gen, Office, and Community Commercial to Park and Open Space Zoning District based on the staff report dated July 15, 2019. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. B. VARIANCE #2019-03 Request for: • Monument sign height of 23 feet 9 inches. City Code is 20 feet maximum height • Monument sign setback of 6.4 feet. City Code is 20 feet maximum • Monument sign(s) size greater than 80 square feet. City Code is 80 sq. ft. maximum Laren Holcomb presented a PowerPoint and detailed the application. He was representing Southwest Stations Association which included three properties. The Southwest Station signage was removed as part of the LRT construction, and the former Santorini sign would be removed as part of the new retail sign construction. The current sign was not properly located for visibility and no longer fit the aesthetics of the area. The proposed new sign would advertise the six tenants in the building. The variance request was for both the sign size and the size of the base. He displayed an elevation view showing the sign in context, visible from the Prairie Center Drive and the exit ramp of Highway 212. He also displayed an overhead view with the sign's location. Holcomb was also seeking variances for the Southwest Station Retail monument sign. He displayed renderings showing the signs in context, with the monument sign beside a walkway leading to a public plaza,with apartments in the background, and from Prairie center Drive. He displayed an overhead view with the location of this sign as well, and the design of the public plaza with the sign's location. Pieper asked for the height of the Santorini sign. Holcomb replied it was 20 feet tall. DeSanctis asked what wind speed the sign would tolerate. Holcomb replied the sign was an aluminum box construction with helical piers engineered by a signage company that completed the appropriate calculations to accommodate the area soils but did not specifically know the wind speed. Klima added the Building Official has been working with the applicant and the sign contractor. Farr asked where the stoplight traffic signal sat in relation to the sign. Holcomb displayed the overhead view and pointed out the location though he could not estimate the distance. Farr noted there was a 50-foot setback requirement from a traffic light according to zoning code. He asked how the applicant determined the sign size. Holcomb replied he relied on the sign vendor using the Santorini sign as a template. Farr noted most vendors would use two but not three lines of text. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 22, 2019 Page 4 Holcomb replied he would not brand individual tenants, and individual logos would not be included. Fan noted there was a limit of 50-100 feet for visibility and there was a potential downsize considering traffic speeds. With volunteers he had tested timed readings of the sign and it took 15-20 seconds to read the text. Though he approved of the design the quantity of signs was a concern considering this area was one of the busiest sections in Eden Prairie. Holcomb replied each tenant would be given an equal opportunity to be represented on the sign which was also not being charged to the tenants. Fan asked for the total signage package. Holcomb replied there would be two additional blade signs on the Elevate building. Fan asked if he planned to work with Southwest Transit on the parking ramp signage. Holcomb replied there was no other sign planned at the entrance of the Southwest Station. Rue stated the traffic signal sat before the bridge displayed on the overhead view. Its location was just before the parapet wall on the bridge. The mast arm was in front of the bridge. Fan read from the zoning ordinance the proper placement and setback of 50 feet of any traffic sign or signal for visibility and to avoid distracting drivers. Rue replied the sign would be at least 60 feet from the signal pole. He agreed the area was busy but the sign was appropriately situated. Mette concurred with Farr's concerns with more signage in this busy area. However, she agreed the consolidated sign was the best solution. She agreed with keeping tenant signage black and white,but stated there was a case to be made for the use of logos, since they were more easily recognized than reading text. She added the Elevate at Southwest Station sign's color(gray and white)might not have enough contrast for easy reading,particularly during the daytime, and suggested black and white instead. She asked how it related to the height of the tracks. Holcomb replied the sign was above the elevation of the tracks. Mette noted the wall below the Elevate sign along Prairie Center Drive and asked if the retail tenants would be allowed a sign on Prairie Center Drive. Holcomb replied they would not. Mette suggested he keep in mind that with this many tenants it was likely to have more or fewer tenants down the road. The sign cabinet could be changed but the sign might need flexibility, which this sign design seemed to have. Iyer agreed with Fan on the potential for distraction. He noted even the use of logos might take time for people to adjust. He suggested adjusting the setbacks to protect pedestrians in case of a fall of the sign. Holcomb replied a fall was unlikely with proper engineering helical piers. Fan noted the renderings showing the middle of the signs with vertical text were reversed in direction from other renderings showing the bottom-up orientation,which he preferred, and he suggested the applicant strive for consistency and use the bottom-up orientation throughout. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 22, 2019 Page 5 Klima presented the staff report. The variance requests were three: sign size, sign base size, and sign height. City Code did allow offsite signage in the case of a PUD. The goal was to consolidate signage. If the variances were not requested and the applications did comply, the result would be four different signs being erected. She stated the variances met the three-part test and staff recommended approval. Exhibit H did show the proposed location and a setback was not necessarily applicable within a right-of-way. There was an encroachment agreement in place to address the plaza area. DeSanctis noted a 65 Kelvin LED system would be used for illumination and asked if there were specific times when the sign would not be illuminated. Klima replied City Code did not regulate illumination signs that were not dynamic signs. DeSanctis asked if any residents were in line of sign and if there would be any light intrusions. Holcomb replied the back side of the sign where most residents live would not be lit. Mette asked for and received clarification each variance allowed a sign base of 40 feet and each allowed an 80-square-foot sign; the square footage was not cumulative. Klima stated the Elevate parcel would be allowed a second sign at 36 square feet with a base half of that. With the application, 276 square feet cumulative versus 530 square feet was being proposed. Farr asked if the utility company could say no to the easement. Rue replied the utilities were in place and the sign would be in the right-of-way so there would be a permit. The applicant was placing the sign where there were not utilities, but he would have to avoid utilities or relocate them in the future,probably at the applicant's expense. Farr asked if the two driveways at the Southwest Station area would need signage. Klima replied the City did not anticipate a PUD application to address the LRT improvements on site. As a courtesy Southwest Transit and the Metropolitan Council brought forward plans for the proposed parking ramp for feedback. The Project office had not provided final rendering of the proposed signage but it would be forthcoming. There was not enough information to know what kind of signage would be proposed as a part of the LRT project. Kirk noted there would likely be signage at the far driveway, but this question was far removed and hopefully the Planning Commission would have a chance to review it. Mette asked if there was a sign on the west side of the Culver's if that would be part of the PUD. Klima replied the Culver's site was a part of the PUD. Farr stated he did not see in the ordinance a limit to the number of multi-tenant sign messages and wanted to know the maximum number to be considered in the future. Klima replied the sign ordinance did not provide a specific number limit and this was a self-regulating system based on sign requirements. This project was within TOD designation and so this was a different set of circumstances. It might be to the City's advantage to remain flexible rather than offer prescriptive limitations. Kirk stated this was an interesting and positive discussion breaking new boundaries. He commended the design and the consolidation. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 22, 2019 Page 6 MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. Pieper agreed with Farr's and Kirk's and Mette's points that this would be a significant change to this area. Farr approved of the consolidation and had no issue with its height but was concerned with a vehicular- rather than a pedestrian-orientated design. He suggested placing the Elevate sign 100 feet from the traffic sign. He added this was part of a larger important discussion. Mette stated Farr made a good point but agreed with the sign's location. She noted it was a large sign but could change in context of the LRT bridge. Kirk agreed with Mette and commended the sign's design. Pieper replied he would rather have pedestrians crane their necks than sacrifice the visibility from cars. Mette added this did not have the small-town pedestrian scale. Farr asked if the applicant considered the opportunity for relocating signage further west. Holcomb replied he did consider that along with many options along Technology Drive. DeSanctis stated he was concerned about this confluence of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, especially for residents with disabilities, children, the elderly, et cetera. He asked if it was possible to reduce the speed limit on Prairie Center Drive. Rue stated there would not be much support for that. Discussion followed on the value of a lowered speed limit. Pieper noted this was a separate discussion from the variances presently before the commission. MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Higgins to approve Variance#2019-03 based on information contained in the staff dated July 15, 2019 and the findings and conditions of Final Order#2019-03. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. VI. PLANNERS' REPORT VII. MEMBERS' REPORTS Farr suggested the commission review the signage code for other influences on the public way and residents; cone of vision from a car, speed limits of drivers, number of messages per sign, and proximity to other potentially distracting elements. Pieper agreed this would be a valuable discussion. Higgins noted this site of Variance #2019-03 was a unique place in the City due to its confluence of activities. Kirk concurred. VIII. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by DeSanctis to adjourn. MOTION CARRIED 8- 0.

The applicant is requesting the following waivers: A. Minimum Lot Width City Code requires a minimum lot width of 70 feet in the R1-9.5 Zoning District. Lots that are located on entirely on the arc of a cul de sac have a minimum lot width requirement of 55 feet at the right of way line. The applicant is requesting a waiver to the minimum lot width to several of the proposed lots as depicted in the proposed plans. Lot widths on the cul de sacs range from 34 to 60 feet and on the remaining lots from 64 to 70 feet. The applicant shall provide the City with the exact lot width measurements of each lot at the right of way prior to review by the City Council. B. Minimum Lot Width on a Corner Lot City Code requires a minimum lot width of 85 feet for corner lots in the R1-9.5 Zoning District. The width of Lot 3 along Tranquility Circle is proposed at 72.47 feet and 56.25 feet along Highland Oaks Court. C. Front Yard Setback City Code requires a minimum 30 foot front yard setback in the R1-9.5 Zoning District. The applicant is requesting a 25 foot front yard setback for all of the lots. The proposed setback would provide for an increase in back yard area and distance from existing homes in adjacent neighborhoods. D. Side Yard Setback The R1-9.5 Zoning District requires a minimum 5 foot side yard setback with a total of 15 feet with both sides. The applicant is proposing a minimum 7.5 foot side yard setback on each side for a total of 15 feet with both sides for all of the lots. TREE REPLACEMENT The tree replacement requirement for the proposed project is 548 caliper inches. The proposed trees used to meet this requirement are intended to compensate for the loss of significant and heritage trees due to grading and construction on the site. The Tree Replacement Plan meets the requirement and includes 548 caliper inches of trees for tree replacement. All of the proposed trees on the Planting Plan are being counted toward tree replacement. Prior to City Council review of the proposed project, the Tree Replacement Plan and Tree Survey shall be revised to consistently identify the planting of 176 trees at 3 caliper inches and 5 trees at 4 caliper inches. OUTLOT A The applicant is proposing to deed the land shown as Outlot A for preservation of the wetland and wetland buffer areas. 3 Staff Report—Miller Property/Highland Oaks August 8, 2019 Page 4 BUILDING LAYOUT The applicant has provided a potential layout of the homes on the lots. The proposed layout provides some variety in the view from the street by including side loaded garages on the homes and flipping the floor plans of the homes so the garages are not all on the same side of the homes. DRAINAGE The applicant is providing for stormwater management on site.A stormwater basin is proposed to be located in Outlot A. The outlot will be deeded to City. In addition, several filtration and infiltration basins will be constructed on the property to address stormwater treatment. The applicant has been working with the Watershed District to address both City and Watershed District requirements. INCLUSIONARY HOUSING No affordability or inclusionary housing requirements are recommended to be applied to the project, as the suitability of such requirements for this type of for-sale owner-occupied housing are to be considered and addressed by the City's recently formed Housing Task Force. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on June 12, 2019. Based on feedback from the applicant,85 property owners were notified of the meeting and 10 persons were in attendance.

Planning Commission: Last RI rn mer we heard in great detail about how a single new employee at Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, through their daily routine, world put additional strain on the roads and traffic flow of our To purl ew neighborhood. The proposal to build 17 single family homes, in a large parcel that presently has a single home, is going seemingly unnoticed. Traffic flow, The only route in and out of the Miller Property is Gerard Drive to Roberts Trail_ The road is already busy. There are hills at the intersection of Gerard Drive & Roberts Trail and the sharp orner at the intersection of Gerard Drive & Gori I ea Lane. The traffic naturally goes faster downhill. The bottom of the hill is the intersection of Gerard Drive 6. Beehive Court_ This will ultimately become worse as a significant number of vehicles are put into play. Pedestrian Safety_ As the parent of two elementary school children this is a critical issue. This n elghbo rho NI has rrn sidewalks_ The only way to get to and from school bus stops, go for bike rides.. get to parks, and go for a walk, is to walk ill the street_ This is a residential neighborhood that would have to re-zoned to al'ow for a higher density housing alternative, i reg4res# your reconsideration deratiori of this issue_ It not only effects the quality of life for the area residents, but the safety of those lives. Thank you, for your consideration r Timothy Kujetin 13173 Beehive Court Eden Prairie, MN 5534 -3117 :6121 7 540 Tim_Kojetin igma i I,corn Julie Klima From: Marilyn Rasmussen. Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2019 10:18 AM To: Julie Klima Subject: Miller Property Morning, I have some concerns about the development with 17 homes being added. What is the city going to do for the safety of walkers on Gerard with the increase of traffic?There are no sidewalks! Also crossing Roberts to Gerard is a challenge at times, adding 17 homes with drivers will add to that. I am questioning the number of homes the city is allowing. Marilyn Rasmussen Sent from my iPhone • STORMOEN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS REGARDING WOODDALE BUILDERS APPLICATION TO REZONE AND DEVELOP MILLER PROPERTY AT 7120 GERARD DRIVE (2019-13) PAGE 1 of 3 DENSITY Question: Why is there a need to rezone and increase the density of housing in our neighborhood? • The proposed lot sizes, shape, and density of the project are not in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood. • Do the 9.73 acres of this project include land that is unbuildable and, if so, how many acres of buildable land exist? • Three sides of the perimeter of the property slope steeply to a ravine, wetlands, and Cardinal Creek homes. TRAFFIC Question: Will a traffic study be completed as part of this approval process? • According to the minutes of the August 23, 2010, Planning Commission meeting, two traffic studies were completed to evaluate the impact of the rezoning of Barbara Kaerwar's single-family residence to allow Nine Mile Creek Watershed District to acquire the property and relocate its administrative offices to the property. The analysis was based on the expected number of employees (2-3 FTEs) contributing to 7-10 daily trips, which was considered to be in line with the average for a single-family home. Based on this 2010 traffic analysis,with the addition of 16 single-family dwellings to the existing Miller property there would be an increase of between 112 and 160 daily trips to negatively impact the safety and enjoyment of our neighborhood. In the January 2, 2018 meeting of the City Council, Nine Mile Creek Watershed District requested and received approval from the Council to increase the number of employees from three to five FTEs and the number of Board of Managers evening meetings per year from sixteen to twenty meetings. To address concerns related to additional traffic, Council member Case stated that he thought that there would be fewer trips made by the additional employees than if as many as 13 single family homes had been built on the property. STORMOEN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS REGARDING WOODDALE BUILDERS APPLICATION TO REZONE AND DEVELOP MILLER PROPERTY AT 7120 GERARD DRIVE (2019-13) PAGE 2 of 3 In the same meeting, Council member Nelson stated that she could see Nine Mile growing to five employees,but would not expect them to return for approval of more because five employees is pushing it. Also in the same meeting, Mayor Tyra-Lukens stated that a change in zoning was not something to be considered lightly, but an exception was made for Barbara Kaerwar's donation of her property to Nine Mile because of the relatively low intensity of use by the watershed district that would not result in a huge increase in trips through the neighborhood. • What consideration is being given to adding stops signs and/or speed bumps to control traffic? Traffic moving at excessive speeds is already a problem on Gerard Drive. • Traffic control at the intersection of Gerard and Roberts Drives will need to be addressed. Sight lines are already an issue at this intersection because of the hills and curves of Roberts Drive. Additionally, Roberts Drive is commonly used by motorists traveling between Baker and Topview Roads as a short-cut alternative to using Valley View Road. • There frequently is a back-up of outbound traffic at the intersection of Topview and Valley View Roads, particularly during morning rush hour. SAFETY Question: What is the City's plan to ensure the safety of the residents of the Topview neighborhood from significant increases in traffic that will occur if this project is approved? • The Topview neighborhood has no sidewalks. An increase in traffic will have a significant negative impact on the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists, many of whom are children. Our streets are frequently used by residents from our neighborhood as well as from Candyland for bicycling, leisure walks, exercise walks and runs, and for access to the Nine Mile Creek wetland trail. DEFORESTATION Question: How many trees will be removed and how long will it take for any newly- planted trees to mature to a significant size? STORMOEN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS REGARDING WOODDALE BUILDERS APPLICATION TO REZONE AND DEVELOP MILLER PROPERTY AT 7120 GERARD DRIVE (2019-13) PAGE 3 of 3 • The proposed project plan includes the removal of a significant number of trees and also includes removal of five feet of soil from the high point of the lot in order to level the parcel. • In the January 2, 2018 meeting of the City Council, as part of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District discussion, concerns were expressed about the deforestation that has taken place on the property granted to Nine Mile by Barbara Kaerwar. Council member Aho (who is a resident of the Topview neighborhood) stated that there are a lot of people who are not pleased about the amount of vegetation removed for the Nine Mile Creek restoration project. STORM WATER RUN-OFF AND SNOW REMOVAL Question: What infrastructure will the City build to handle storm water run-off, and how will snow removal be handled? • Beehive Court and southbound Gerard Drive currently experience a river of water, rocks, and landscape materials being washed downhill during heavy rain storms. • The absence of a street drain at the top of Gerard Drive is currently an issue that will worsen with the addition of two cul-de-sacs and 17 new homes, each with its own paved driveway. PROPERY TAXES Question: Will the addition of luxury homes to our neighborhood increase the property tax burden of existing homeowners?

Hello, my name is Maria Ringsmuth and I wanted to express my concerns about the proposed Miler Development. Our family moved to Beehive Court in 2008 because we thought we found the perfect home for easy access to the many hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation care facilities needed for our son Eddy, (now age 32 yrs) who has a Traumatic Brain Injury from a tragic ski accident when he was just 18 yrs. If I had known the beautiful tree buffer between our home and the Miller Family would be clear-cut and 40-45 tons of ground removed to place 17 homes N I would never have moved here. We live next to wonderful, caring, supportive neighbors, Bob &Jennifer Prince who introduced us to a 3-wheel reclining bike that our son can manage as he is partially paralyzed on the left-side of his body but he can still bike. I hate to think of the increased traffic with 17-homes and all the cars associated with those units and our Eddy out on the streets trying to get exercise. It would become too dangerous. Eddy has a cognitive level between 8-12 yrs but he understands the loss of wildlife if the proposed development passes. We currently see so many friends each day(deer, fox, mink, muskrats, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, hawks, owls and an abundance of common birds) that come to our backyard because of the Miller Property quiet homesite. We love the Miller's old trees. We know the develoer would plant a new tree buffer but it's impossible to recreate the magnificent, current tree buffer. I have empathy for the neighbor living at the entrance of the Miller Property that will endure 18 to 24 months of trucks, heavy-building equipment, tractors, building materials that will drive by the corner property. That home will be impacted by the increased traffic during the building process as well as the continual flow of traffic after development. My question to Mayor Case and each Council Member is: "Would you like to live next to a corner street and go from 1-2 cars passing by your home when Jerry and Mary Miller lived there to 17 new home owners and all their cars?" It seems unfair. I know we must embrace change. I used to work at Apple Computer before I had children " I used to pull all the emails for the Regional Office once a day! This change to our neighborhood is heart breaking. I have a ray of hope for a hero on the Council, Kathy Nelson. I watched Kathy and heard her, everyone in the room could hear Kathy even out in the hallway, at a Council Meeting, about a year or so ago when the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District(neighbors) wanted to increase zoning for more employees. She told the Nine Mile Creek Representative that she would vote in favor of the small increase, but like a football coach, told them to never come back to the council for an increase in zoning. Hooray Council Member Kathy Nelson. Suggestion: Would the developer consider a request to reduce the number of home units in a way to preserve the park like atmosphere of the Miller Property and yet maintain the profit margin needed in developing the site. Rather than remove most of the trees, would you consider keeping the tree buffer that every adjoining neighbor loves. The new home owners would love the tree buffer as much as we do now. We would not see the new home owners and the new home owners would not see us. That would be a win and win and a memorial to the Miller's vision of peace and quiet. Thank you for hearing me out and for your patience in considering all our requests and serving the City. N Maria Ringsmuth 13166 Beehive Ct, Eden Prairie MN 55346 612-272-4124 mringsmuth@cfaith.com We need to think of others not Just ourselves.

STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Steve Durham—Planner II DATE: August 7, 2019 SUBJECT: Costco Fuel Facility Expansion LOCATION: 12011 Technology Drive REQUEST: • Planned Unit Development District Amendment with waivers on 18.18 acres • Site Plan Review on 18.18 acres :.1i a!aim..•••ai NawM �,Y or ip ` . 4 r 4 4 4 '� . ~ f -. T S� I — — a _ Al -_ �#, a f . . __._- - laras . _,A........, =AL.._' Existing Condition Map BACKGROUND The property received site plan and Planned Unit Development(PUD)approvals in 2003 prior to the development of the property. The applicant is requesting an expansion of the fuel facility for eight additional (8) pumps located on the northern portion of the site. Currently the fuel facility has 16 Staff Report—Costco Fuel Facility Expansion August 7, 2019 Page 2 pumps. The existing Costco site plan includes a retail building of 144,626 square feet and 782 parking stalls. Waivers granted in 2003 included: • Impervious surface of 77% in a shoreland area. Maximum impervious surface is 30%. • Wall sign area for the principal building exceeding 300 square feet,maximum is 300 square feet. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the property for Regional Commercial land use. The property is zoned Commercial Regional Service. The surrounding land uses are guided Industrial to the north, Town Center to the east, Regional Commercial to the south, and Office to the east. Surrounding properties are zoned Industrial, Commercial Regional Service and Office. SITE PLAN The site plan and PUD waivers review proposes changes to the fuel facility, immediate adjacent property surrounding the fuel facility and the east ingress and egress driveway. The west ingress/egress driveway will not change,but a waiver for the existing driveway width at the property is part of this review.There will be no alterations to the existing retail building or parking lot.Costco proposes to increase the fuel expansion facility by eight(8)pumping stations. The existing canopy will expand and architecturally match the existing structure. Highlights of the expansion include: • Removal of 11 parking stalls adjacent to the fuel facility.The site exceeds City Code parking requirements by 59 parking stalls.Code required five stalls per/1000 square feet of building. The site will maintain a 5.3 stalls per/1000 square feet.In addition,existing parking stalls are provided at 10' wide. Code minimum is 9'wide. • To accommodate the new fuel pumps reconfiguration of two outbound drive lanes on the east driveway to provide a shortened east bound egress lane. • Proposed impervious surface will be 75% and not exceed the approved waiver of 77% waiver. • Loss of five (5) deciduous trees, that is, 31 caliper inches, and replaced with 16 deciduous trees measuring 32 caliper inches. • Minor grading is associated with the proposed improvements. INTERNAL CIRCULATION (ENGINEERING) In order to create room to expand the pump stations, the east driveway is being altered from its existing condition, which includes an inbound lane and two (2) approximately 220' in length dedicated right and left turn outbound lanes, to a proposed condition with one shared outbound lane which includes a 60' right turn lane thus reducing the right turn lane by approximately 160'. 2 Staff Report—Costco Fuel Facility Expansion August 7, 2019 Page 3 Staff has expressed concern with this proposed condition and how it may affect internal queueing as the traffic study points out that the outbound left turn decreases in level of service. Because of this and the potential for this site to generate high levels of traffic not captured in the study, staff recommended additional internal changes to allow the proposed conditions to match the existing conditions related to turn lane length. The applicant has not made the suggested changes. Staff is still recommending approval without these changes, but will not welcome discussions of future improvements to Technology Drive if staff assumptions were correct. Any future modifications to address these concerns would be the responsibility of the propeorty owner. Staff would also like to note a concern with the alignment of the internal intersection of the outbound lane and the gas pump exit lane. This 3-way stop controlled intersection requires inbound vehicles with no stop sign control to abruptly change lanes within this intersection to avoid the exiting vehicles facing them. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS The applicant is requesting waivers for driveway width at the property line. City code maximum driveway width at the property line is 30'. The request is forty-eight feet(48') on the east ingress/egress driveway and forty feet(40') on the west ingress/egress driveway. This is an existing condition. SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS The proposed revised sidewalk and trail access points meet current ADA requirements. LIGHTING The site plan meets code requirements of 0.5-foot candle at the property line. No changes are proposed and no new parking lot lighting be installed. SIGNS All signs proposed on fuel facility canopy will require review and approval through the sign permit process and are required to meet code. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of the following request: 1. Planned Unit Development District Amendment with waivers on 18.18 acres 2. Site Plan Review on 18.18 acres 3 Staff Report—Costco Fuel Facility Expansion August 7, 2019 Page 4 This recommendation is based on plans stamp dated July 22, 2019 and staff report dated August 7, 2019 and the following conditions: Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall: 1.
