Commercial (N-COM) and Ordinance for PUD District Review with waivers on
1.19 acres, and Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres. (Resolution for PUD Concept
Review, Ordinance for Zoning District Change and PUD District Review)
Synopsis: The applicant is proposing to construct an approximately 5,074 square
foot, single-level commercial building. About 3,958 square feet would be occupied
by Bush Lake Pet Hospital, while the other 1,015 square feet would be for an
additional commercial or office tenant, to be determined. The tenant is relocating
from Bloomington to increase its tenant space. The business would not have
overnight boarding with the exception of surgery patients. The lot for this proposed
building is located directly north of the Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center
along Hennepin Town Road and across the street from the Bluff Country Village
townhome development. The applicant is requesting a Zone Change to
Neighborhood Commercial (N-COM) from Office (OFC) to accommodate the
proposed vet clinic use. The developer is also requesting PUD waivers for
minimum lot size and lot depth in the N-COM district.

reading of Ordinance for Zone Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.11 acres, and
Resolution for Preliminary Plat of one parcel into 4 lots and 3 outlots on 2.11 acres.
(Resolution for Preliminary Plat, Ordinance for Zoning District Change,
Resolution for the Findings of Fact in Support of Park Dedication Fees)
Synopsis: The applicant is requesting approval to divide one parcel into 4 single
family lots and 3 outlots. The 2.11-acre property is located at 6285 Duck Lake
Road. The land is generally flat with some trees and a small piece of wetland along
the east property line. The wetland is part of a larger wetland on City-owned
property to the east. The existing home on proposed Lot 3 will be demolished when
site work begins. The property is guided Low Density Residential, which allows a
density of 0.1-5 units per acre. The proposed density of 1.9 units per acre is
consistent with the guiding. Current zoning is Rural and the applicant is requesting
a zone change to R1-9.5. The lots conform to the R1-9.5 zoning standards. The
wetland, wetland buffer and stormwater management will be encompassed in Outlot
A. The Outlot will be deeded to the City so the City can preserve the wetland and
wetland buffer and maintain the stormwater management facility. Outlots B and C
may be transferred to the property owners to the north to add square footage to their
lots. The applicant will be installing a public sidewalk along the Duck Lake Road
frontage of the property.
MOTION: Move to:
• Close the public hearing; and
• Approve the 1st Reading of an Ordinance for a Zoning Change
from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.11 acres; and

Change and PUD District Review)
Synopsis: The applicant is requesting approval to construct an assisted living
facility at 6216 Baker Road. The 3.79-acre property is located south of Highway 62
and west of Baker Road. The project improvements are proposed in two phases.
Phase I includes a renovation of the existing 16,309 square foot office building into
24 assisted living units with a total of 31 beds. The majority of the improvements in
this phase will be interior to the building, though there are minor exterior
improvements. Phase II is proposed to include a 52,938 square foot 4-story addition
to the building, which would add 81 units with a total of 81 beds. At full build out,
the facility will have a total of 105 units and 112 beds. Phase II would include
significant site work. Ultimately, the project will provide assisted living and
treatment for patients suffering from dementia. The property is guided Office in the
Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to reguide the property to Medium High Density Residential, which
allows a density of 14 to 40 units per acre. At full build out of Phase I and II, the
density of the project will be 27.7 units per acre. The property is zoned Office and
the applicant is requesting a zone change to RM-2.5.

XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 4
RELATING TO LICENSING AND REGULATION OF ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES
Synopsis: Chapter 4 of the Eden Prairie City Code contains the City’s regulations
and licensing requirements relating to alcoholic beverages. Chapter 4 has not
undergone a wholesale update for many years, and currently contains several
provisions that are outdated or not in compliance with state law.
The ordinance amends Chapter 4 in its entirety. The amended chapter now
references and incorporates many definitions, provisions, and requirements of state
law, which will allow the City to quickly implement liquor law amendments that
may be adopted by the legislature. The ordinance also adopts similar administrative
licensing processes and requirements that are used in other City licensing sections
found in Chapter 5. This will allow for ease of administration by City staff and

B. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE GRANTING A CABLE FRANCHISE
TO COMCAST
Synopsis: Effective August 1, 2012 each of the Southwest Suburban Cable
Commission Member Cities granted a cable franchise to Comcast. The initial term
of the franchise ran for ten (10) years and was extended by the Member Cities
through January 31, 2023.
In 2019 Comcast requested renewal of the franchise and the Cable Commission has
since been engaged in informal renewal negotiations with Comcast to reach
mutually acceptable terms for a renewal cable franchise.
On May 24, 2023, the Cable Commission adopted a resolution recommending that
the renewal cable franchise be adopted by each Member City.
ANNOTATED AGENDA
June 13, 2023
Page 7
All five Member Cities are considering the renewal cable franchise simultaneously.
Any proposed revisions from one of the cities may require the Cable Commission to
seek agreement not only from Comcast but also from the other four Member Cities
which may have already taken action to adopt the renewal cable franchise. This
point is raised not to suggest that further revisions are impossible, but to emphasize
the complexity of the approval process and the steps which must be undertaken to
complete the approval process.
MOTION: Move to Approve the First Reading of the Ordinance
Granting a Cable Franchise to Comcast

Workshop - Heritage Rooms I and II (5:30)
A. 2022 QUALITY OF LIFE SURVEY RESULTS
City Manager Rick Getschow noted the City does a biennial, statistically significant survey of our
residents. The results of the survey are an important factor in building the annual City Work Plans.
Kim Daane, a Survey Research Associate with Polco/National Research Center (NRC), stated
Polco/NRC has the largest benchmark database of its kind in the country with more than 500
comparison communities across the nation; and utilizes state, regional, and national benchmark
comparisons in addition to comparisons to the City’s own past survey results.
Daane stated this is the ninth iteration of the Eden Prairie Quality of Life Survey. She presented the
survey methods for the 2023 iteration, explaining Polco/NRC employed a hybrid mailing
approach, sending 2,000 randomly selected households in Eden Prairie with multi-part mailings.
They received 452 responses through the mail. An open participation online survey received 716
responses. A total of 1,168 responses were received. After weighting the mail in and open
participation responses separately, both method data sets were similar enough that they could be
combined. All mailings contained instructions in English, Spanish, and Somali languages. The
results are statistically weighted to reflect Eden Prairie demographics, presenting a 95 percent
confidence interval with a plus/minus three percent margin of error.
Councilmembers Narayan and Nelson inquired about ratio of mailings to single- and multi-family
dwellings and if data measures analyzed home prices. Daane responded that the report does
include breakdowns based on single- and multi- family homes, and that there are breakdowns
based on household income and numerous other household demographics, but not home price. It
was also pointed out that Polco oversamples multi-family homes due to the expectation of higher
response rates from single-family homes.
Daane began by comparing Eden Prairie’s results to those from communities around the country
with populations over 15,000. Of the items available for national benchmarking against the
nationwide sample, 47 items received higher ratings in Eden Prairie; 19 received similar ratings;
City Council Workshop Minutes
May 16, 2023
Page 2
and zero received lower ratings. Several items received much higher ratings in Eden Prairie, at
least 20 points over the average/benchmark which included overall ease of getting where you are
going, ease of public parking, availability of paths and walking trails, City planning services, and
preservation of natural areas. Getschow added that for the preservation of natural areas, Eden
Prairie ranks first in Minnesota and third out of 274 cities nationally.
Compared to benchmarks in North Central Region communities with populations over 15,000,
Eden Prairie received 31 ratings higher than the benchmarks; 32 similar ratings; and zero lower
ratings. Compared to Minnesota community benchmarks, 25 received higher ratings; 38 received
similar ratings; and zero received lower ratings. Senior programs and services in Eden Prairie were
rated much higher than the Minnesota community benchmark.
Getschow prefaced some results from the 2023 survey, stating that Eden Prairie did drop in many
areas compared to itself in 2020, but did not drop compared to other cities. It was questioned if this
was a trend across the country, to which Daane replied that this is absolutely a trend everywhere
else as well. Getschow used City planning services as an example; compared to itself in 2020,
Eden Prairie’s rating of this service dropped slightly but went up to number one in the nation.
Getschow recommended council consider our ranking compared to benchmarks, which have
increased, rather than dwell on small decreases compared to 2020 which are on par with national
trends. Compared to the previous survey year in Eden Prairie, 12 areas had higher ratings; 139
received similar ratings; and 34 received lower ratings. Daane pointed out the unique situation
Covid-19 created in 2020 and the nationwide trend of ratings peaking during the pandemic when
trust in local government was very high.
Daane stated Eden Prairie continues to be a highly desirable and safe place to live. 92 percent of
residents think the quality of life in Eden Prairie is excellent or good. This rating is higher than
national and regional benchmarks. Nine in ten residents positively rated the City as a place to live,
raise children, and their neighborhood as a place to live. The City as a place to live and raise
children was rated higher than national and regional benchmarks. Eden Prairie 86 percent
positively rated Eden Prairie as a place to work, which is higher than national, regional, and
Minnesota benchmarks.
Residents continued to rate safety-related aspects characteristics high, with few crime-related
concerns. 92 percent of residents rated the overall feeling of safety in Eden Prairie as excellent or
good. Over eight in ten gave excellent or good ratings to safety in their neighborhoods; parks and
open spaces; paths or walking trails; retail parking lots; and the Eden Prairie Center mall. In
response to what residents considered problems in the community, one third indicated traffic
speeding was a moderate, major, or extreme problem. 24 percent said vandalism and property
crimes; 21 percent said youth crimes; and 20 percent stated drugs and sign violations as a problem.
Daane stated the next key finding that City services continue to be highly ranked among peers.
Nine in ten rated overall quality of City services excellent or good. Two thirds of residents said the
value of City services, considering the property taxes they pay, are excellent or good. At least nine
in ten positively rated Police services, Fire services, park maintenance, Hennepin Healthcare EMS
response time, Fire Department response time, water and sewer services, and overall customer
service by City employees. The lowest rated services, traffic signal timing and neighborhood
sidewalks, were still rated excellent or good by two thirds of residents. As in previous years, the
vast majority of Eden Prairie services are ranked higher or much higher than all benchmark
City Council Workshop Minutes
May 16, 2023
Page 3
comparison groups, and no city services were lower than the benchmarks.
Nine in ten residents rated overall quality of police services as excellent or good, which is higher
than the national and regional benchmarks. One quarter of residents said they had contact with the
Police Department in the year prior to the survey, with the most popular situations for Police
interaction occurring during Eden Prairie Night to Unite and other Community programs adding up
to 44 percent of interactions; and 17% said they had contact with the Police while reporting a
crime. 90 percent rated the quality of contact with the Police Department as excellent or good.
Daane detailed the various City services which received lower ratings than the previous EP survey.
Again, it was pointed out that while numbers may have seen a statistically significant decline, the
numbers are still frequently higher than national, regional, and Minnesota benchmarks. These
services which declined include trail maintenance, recreation centers or facilities, recreation
services, preservation of natural areas, emergency management, building inspections, streets in
your neighborhood, City engineering services, utility billing, asphalt trails in your neighborhood,
assessing services, housing and community services, and sidewalks in your neighborhood. It was
also pointed out that this iteration of the survey was administered deep into the winter season,
whereas typically the survey has taken place before the winter months; this could potentially have
also contributed to these datasets.
These numbers are compared to 2020, which Daane noted could potentially be marked with an
asterisk in the future due to the extenuating circumstances and the trend of uniquely high ratings of
local government trust. Discussion ensued related to circumstances that drive data, from actual
difference in services to attitudes during the winter and during the pandemic. Daane pointed out
several amenities which received significant decreases in ratings nationwide which were
availability of affordable quality food, healthcare, mental healthcare, and preventative health
services.
84 percent of residents strongly or somewhat support the City continuing to operate municipal
liquor stores, and about half of residents have visited an Eden Prairie liquor store in the last twelve
months. Various aspects of municipal liquor stores in Eden Prairie continue to trend upward,
including a 96% rating for courtesy and friendliness of staff.
Daane then discussed resident contact with City departments, stating 24 percent of contact
occurred with the Eden Prairie Community Center. The Police Department was the next most
contacted department with 23 percent of resident contact. Other most frequently contacted, in
order, were utilities and water, recreation, general information, building inspections, and utility
billing. Most residents are pleased with their contact with City employees, with overall customer
service rating higher than national and regional benchmarks at 92 percent. Knowledge, courtesy,
and responsiveness were also rated over 90 percent.
Eden Prairie’s natural environment, parks, and recreation opportunities are valued by residents in a
big way. When asked in an open-ended question to state their favorite thing about Eden Prairie,
one third of residents mentioned parks, trails, and recreation centers. Additionally, in the same
question, 12 percent made comments about open space, nature and wildlife. 92 percent rate the
overall natural environment as excellent or good. Residents also rated very highly the air quality,
availability of paths and walking trails, cleanliness, overall appearance, and fitness opportunities.
Almost all categories were higher than state, regional, and national benchmarks.
City Council Workshop Minutes

Daane stated residents are familiar with and see the value of sustainability. A new question in this
iteration of the survey, residents were asked about their familiarity with various sustainability
strategies. Strategies such as composting, reduction of energy use, electric vehicles, home energy
audits, solar electricity, renewable energy utility programs, electrification of homes switching from
natural gas. Daane then discussed respondents’ likelihood of implementing sustainable strategies.
all areas ranked between approximately 41 and 54 percent; and installation of on-site solar rated
lowest at 34 percent of respondents already completed or very likely to complete. Getschow noted
the reason these questions were added to the survey are based on tracking the traction of the City’s
very intentional push to deliver information and familiarity of sustainable topics and methods.
To summarize the key findings of the 2023 Eden Prairie Quality of Life survey, Daane stated that
Eden Prairie is a highly desirable and safe place to live; City services continue to be highly ranked
among peers; Eden Prairie’s natural environment, parks, and recreation opportunities are valued by
residents; and residents are familiar with and see the value of sustainability.

May 16, 2023

Kim Daane summarized the role of Polco and the National Research Center.
Polco has an extensive benchmarking database. She explained the survey was
the ninth time conducting the Eden Prairie quality of life survey. A hybrid
mailing approach was used. The results were statistically weighted to reflect
Eden Prairie.
Ms. Daane noted Eden Prairie received higher or equal ratings to all
comparison benchmarks. She noted the senior services received particularly
positive results. In comparison to Eden Prairie’s previous results, there were
some lower ratings. Case pointed out the categories that received lower ratings
went down much higher in any benchmark comparison locations.
Ms. Daane stated the key findings show Eden Prairie is a highly desirable and
safe place to live. A large majority stated they would recommend living in
Eden Prairie and conducting business in Eden Prairie. Favorite components of
living Eden Prairie include safety throughout the community.
Ms. Daane stated City services ranked highly overall. There were slight
decreases in approval quality. The trends were seen throughout the country,
but Eden Prairie still had higher ratings than benchmark comparisons.
Ms. Daane pointed out almost all residents ranked the overall natural
environment as excellent or good, which is higher than all benchmarks. About
9 in 10 residents reported using local parks. In all, Eden Prairie’s natural
environment, parks, and recreation opportunities are valued by residents.
Ms. Daane added residents are familiar with and value sustainability. There
was also a question about likelihood of implementation strategies regarding
sustainability.
Narayanan asked if it is the first year the survey was offered in more
languages. Getschow stated the City put much more effort into ensuring
surveys were available in more languages.
Narayanan pointed out he is proud that Eden Prairie consistently rates higher
than benchmarks. The community feedback is a driving force for efforts of the
Council. He thanked residents for the time they took to complete the survey.

Resolution approving participation in the
Performance Measurement Program established
by the Council on Local Results and Innovation
ITEM NO.:
VIII.B.
Requested Action
Move to: Adopt the resolution approving participation in the performance measurement program
established by the Council on Local Results and Innovation.
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie has already implemented the required 10 measures with the majority of
them coming from the Quality of Life Survey. This resolution is a formality to adopt the
measures and approve using results we already have for a state program in order to receive
financial benefit.
Background
In February 2012, the Council on Local Results and Innovation created a voluntary performance
measurement program. Requirements of the program include officially adopting and
implementing the ten minimum performance measures, reporting the results to the residents
through at least one of the following means: publication, direct mailing, posting on the entity's
website, or through a public hearing at which the budget and levy will be discussed and public
input allowed, and submission of the resolution and results to the Office of the State Auditor.
Benefits to the City of Eden Prairie for participation include a reimbursement of $0.14 per capita
annually and exemption from levy limits for taxes, if levy limits are in effect. The intention is to
use the funds to support participation in the ICMA Insights performance management and
analytics program. This will help staff to advance our current goals and results performance
measures increasing transparency.

Fire 3 Seal Apparatus Bay Floor
ITEM NO.:
VIII.C.
Requested Action
Move to: Award the contract to Surface Pros to seal Fire 3 apparatus bay floor with a quartz polyurea
coating for $41,899.28
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie participates in the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV).
Surface Pros was awarded contract F-503(5) on September 4th, 2020. Use of the cooperative purchasing
contract enables the City to save time and money for purchases of equipment and installations under price
terms already negotiated by the State of Minnesota.
Background
As part of the 2023 Capital Improvement Plan the coated flooring in the apparatus bay of the Fire Station is
in need of replacement. The coating was installed in 2009. The coating of the floor is currently peeling,
chipping and ultimately failing in areas as it is passed its expectancy and warranty of 5 years. The purpose
of the floor coating is not only for aesthetics but protects the concrete flooring from chipping cracking and
needing replacement prematurely. The selected coating will have a 10-year product warranty with polyurea
selected over epoxy for its chemical resistance, flexibility and durability.

Background Information
Wellhouse 5 is located at 7569 Corporate Way and was constructed in 1981. Presently, the floor
has buckled with severe cracks and the discharge pipe has separated, making the well inoperable.
This project will include demolition and removal of existing wellhouse, electrical components,
and associated piping. Due to the location and footprint of the location, we will be replacing the
current wellhouse structure with a submersible well pump and motor and add control panels on a
concrete pedestal above ground. The new well 5 structure will be very similar to our other
submersible well, well 16, which is located at 8420 Mitchell Road.

Pond Inventory and Inspection Program
ITEM NO.:
VIII.E.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the Professional Services Agreement for the Phase X Pond Inventory and
Inspection Program with Stantec, Inc., for $99,310.
Synopsis
The proposal from Stantec is to provide an inventory of the stormwater ponding system within the
eastern subwatersheds of Bryant Lake. The inventory will be used to select projects to improve
the stormwater treatment system for Bryant Lake. This project is the next step towards completing
the citywide stormwater treatment inventory required by our Stormwater Permit Program. The
cost of pond inventory will be paid out of the stormwater utility.
Background Information
The City has been working on inventorying our stormwater system since 2003. The current
inspection program includes visual inspection of stormwater treatment areas (including lakes,
ponds, wetlands, ditches, raingardens, drainage swales and creek segments) to identify problems
that require repair. The scope of work to complete the inventory was approved by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency on April 18, 2011.
The City has identified approximately 82 basins (ponds or wetlands modified to treat stormwater)
that will require analysis within this study area. The services Stantec will provide include items
such as the following:
• Survey current depth and bathymetric contours for each selected water body.
• Develop models (P8 and BATHTUB) to evaluate the watershed and stormwater runoff
entering the study area.
• Compare existing conditions with as-built information.
• Calculate the removal efficiency (%) for phosphorus and sediment.
• Determine which water bodies need sediment removal or other maintenance.
• Determine whether opportunities exist to upgrade functionality of the stormwater treatment
system that may benefit the creek or lake.
The estimated cost for this phase based on evaluating 82 ponds is $99,310. This price assumes that
the City will provide an intern to help with the fieldwork. Costs will be paid from the storm water
utility fund.

City.
7. Standard of Care. Consultant shall exercise the same degree of care, skill and diligence
in the performance of its services as is ordinarily exercised by members of the profession
under similar circumstances in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Consultant shall be liable to
the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, without limitation, for any injuries, loss,
or damages proximately caused by Consultant's breach of this standard of care. Consultant
shall put forth reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely manner. Consultant

notice delivered to the other party at the address written above. Upon termination under
this provision, if there is no fault of the Consultant, the Consultant shall be paid for services
rendered and reimbursable expenses until the effective date of termination. If however, the
City terminates the Agreement because the Consultant has failed to perform in accordance
with this Agreement, no further payment shall be made to the Consultant, and the City may
retain another consultant to undertake or complete the Work identified herein.
9. Subcontractor. The Consultant shall not enter into subcontracts for services provided
under this Agreement except as noted in the Scope of Work, without the express written
consent of the City. The Consultant shall pay any subcontractor involved in the
performance of this Agreement within ten (10) days of the Consultant's receipt of payment
by the City for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. If the Consultant fails

penalties from the Consultant shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including
attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.
10. Independent Consultant. Consultant is an independent contractor engaged by City to
perform the services described herein and as such (i) shall employ such persons as it shall
deem necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement, who shall be employees, and under the direction, of Consultant and in no
respect employees of City, and (ii) shall have no authority to employ persons, or make
purchases of equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No statement
herein shall be construed so as to find the Consultant an employee of the City.
11. Insurance.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Consultant shall procure, maintain and
pay for such insurance as will protect against claims or loss which may arise out of
operations by Consultant or by any subcontractor or by anyone employed by any of
them or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such insurance shall
include, but not be limited to, minimum coverages and limits of liability specified in

without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the City, except that if the cancellation or non-
renewal is due to non-payment, the coverages may not be terminated or non-renewed
without ten (10) days’ prior notice to the City.
o. Consultant shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Consultant’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less than
A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing.
p. A copy of the Consultant’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the
compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Consultant’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Consultant’s insurance declaration
page, Rider and/or Endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing Insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory
evidence that Consultant has complied with all insurance requirements. Renewal
certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of the required
policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate of Insurance,
declaration page, Rider, Endorsement or certificates or other evidence of insurance, or
to advise Consultant of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt thereof shall
not relieve Consultant from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to enforce the
terms of Consultant’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to examine any
policy provided for under this paragraph.
q. Effect of Consultant’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Consultant fails to provide
the specified insurance, then Consultant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents and employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the extent necessary
to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict
liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless
of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim
which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the
Page 7 of 10 2021 04 22
negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Consultant, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Consultant agrees that
this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Consultant
also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then
the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that
applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation
have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Consultant
to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from
Consultant's insurance company.
Consultant will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City.
12. Indemnification. Consultant will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs
and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred
or for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Consultant,
its agents, contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission
performed, taken or not performed or taken by Consultant, its agents, contractors and
employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Consultant harmless
from and against any loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the
City, its officers, agents or employees.
13. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information
generated in connection with the performance of the Agreement (“Information”) shall
become the property of the City, but Consultant may retain copies of such documents as
records of the services provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the
Consultant also may use the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the
purposes of the project contemplated by this Agreement (“Project”) does not relieve any
liability on the part of the Consultant, but any use of the Information by the City or the
Consultant beyond the scope of the Project is without liability to the other, and the party
using the Information agrees to defend and indemnify the other from any claims or liability
resulting therefrom.
14. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this agreement
shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or legal or
equitable actions by either party. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall
be in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association then currently in effect. A request for mediation shall be filed in writing with
the American Arbitration Association and the other party. No arbitration or legal or
equitable action may be instituted for a period of 90 days from the filing of the request for
Page 8 of 10 2021 04 22
mediation unless a longer period of time is provided by agreement of the parties. Cost of
mediation shall be shared equally between the parties. Mediation shall be held in the City
of Eden Prairie unless another location is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties
shall memorialize any agreement resulting from the mediation in a mediated settlement
agreement, which agreement shall be enforceable as a settlement in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

Dear Ms. Haak,
Reference: Phase 10 Basin Inventory and Assessment
Thank you for this opportunity to present this proposal to the City of Eden Prairie for Phase 10 Basin
Inventory and Assessment. Stantec is excited to help the City with assessing stormwater basin functionality
in the East Bryant Lake watersheds. Our team has considerable experience in providing the necessary GIS,
inspection, modeling, and reporting services for this project. Stantec will continue to build on the previous 9
phases of the inventory and assessment by identifying maintenance needs and opportunities for stormwater
improvements. Stantec’s team consists of well qualified engineers and scientist that are responsive to the
City’s needs. Thank you again for the opportunity to continuing to work with the City of Eden Prairie.
Attached is our proposed scope of services, schedule, and cost estimate to complete Phase 10.
On behalf of Stantec, thank you for this opportunity to continue to serve the City of Eden Prairie. If there are
any questions related to this proposal, don’t hesitate to call 736-252-6877 or email

Project Understanding and Assumptions
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Stantec understands the Phase 10 Basin Inventory and Maintenance Assessment includes subwatersheds
contributing to Bryant Lake. Figure 1 shows the survey area along with the basins to be surveyed.
Previously Stantec, has worked with the City of Eden Prairie on nine previous phases of the Basin Inventory
and Maintenance Assessment. The phases include:
• Staring Lake (Phase I)
• Red Rock Lake and Duck Lake (Phase II)
• Eden Lake and Neill Lake (Phase III)
• Lower Riley Creek (Phase IV)
• Mitchell Lake (Phase V)
• Lake Riley and Rice Marsh Lake (Phase VI)
• Round Lake (VII)
• Lake Smetana (VIII)
• Birch Island Lake and West Bryant Lake (IV)
The proposed tenth phase of the project will follow a similar approach to the previous Phases.
Stantec Consulting Services Inc.
733 Marquette Avenue Suite 1000
Minneapolis MN 55402-2309
ASSUMPTIONS
Stantec assumes the following for this project:
• One (1) Stantec team member will conduct the bathymetric, field surveys, and documenting
maintenance needs using the City’s inspection forms.
• The Stantec staff will be accompanied by the City’s water resources intern. We did assume 2 days
for a second Stantec team member for field work if the intern(s) have ended their term and
additional field work is needed.
• Stantec will utilize the City’s MS4 inspection field application and Survey 123 forms. Stantec will
obtain access to be able to login to the City’s web map to access the forms.
o Following field surveys, Stantec will obtain records collected during field surveys to create a
maintenance priority list.
• Stantec will request as-built documents from the City and perform calculations on the design or as-
built conditions. The City will provide the necessary drawings to Stantec for the basin analysis task.
o Stantec will transcribe information from the as-builts and perform calculations (original as-
built volumes and flood volumes) to include in the master inventory database. In previous
inventory phases, a City intern has completed this task.
• Stantec will receive the most current GIS files prior to starting the field surveys to determine if new
basins were added.
• Stantec will utilize an existing report template developed for the Birch Island Lake, Lake Smetana,
Round Lake, and Lake Riley reports.
• Stantec will develop a P8 model based on the data collected.

Scope of Services
The scope of services for the Phase 10 Basin Inventory and Maintenance Assessment include:
• Task 1 – Stormwater System Analysis
• Task 2 – Sediment Survey
• Task 3 – Basin Analysis
• Task 4 – Reporting Requirements
• Task 5 – Meetings & Project Management
TASK 100 – STORMWATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
This task consists of identifying the basins the City is responsible for maintaining, selecting basins for
further field evaluation, and delineating the subwatershed for each basin. (Throughout this proposal, we will
refer to constructed stormwater ponds and stormwater wetlands collectively as “basins.”) Basin
identification will be coordinated with City staff to determine which basins are located on City property,
within City right-of-way, or under a drainage and utility easement. We expect to locate basins on City
property and within City right-of-way using GIS-based parcel information from the City. We will continue
collaborating with City staff in determining which basins may be under drainage and utility easements. The
subwatersheds for each basin will be delineated using LiDAR contours and storm sewer information.
There appears to be 82 basins in the East Bryant Lake watershed. Figure 1 (attached) provides an
overview of watershed divisions and proposed basins to survey within each drainage area. The number of
basins will be verified prior to field evaluations. This proposal effort assumes all of the basins will be
included in the inventory.
The breakdown of these basins are below.
• Constructed Ponds: 27
• Infiltration Basins: 5
• Stormwater/Mitigation Wetlands: 28
• Wetlands: 22
Task 100 Deliverable:
• Spreadsheet or database listing the water bodies/stormwater basins identified for inclusion in the
project.
• Watershed delineations of individual basins
TASK 200.1 – FIELD SURVEYS
For Task 200.1, Stantec will visually inspect and perform a bathymetric survey for each basin identified in
Task 1. The inspection and survey for basins in the East Bryant Lake watershed will be conducted in
summer and fall of 2023. The inspection and survey information will be used to determine if maintenance is
required and assess the basin pollutant removal performance (Task 3).
May 24, 2023 Lori Haak
Page 5 of 8
Reference: Phase 10 Basin Inventory and Assessment
Stantec will review or collect the following for each basin visual inspection:
• Review storm sewer, grading, and utility plans available for each basin prior to field evaluation. If
possible, these plans will be taken into the field with the inspector to allow for easy comparison
between the proposed and constructed facilities.
• Photograph basin features.
• Identify and report plain-sight maintenance needs (i.e., erosion, accumulation of debris on trash
racks, repairs to damaged structures) using the “Stormwater System Follow-Up Checklist”.
Stantec will conduct the sedimentation survey using GPS survey equipment. The elevations for inlets and
outlets, water surface elevation, and ground shots above the water surface elevation surrounding the pond
will be surveyed using sub-centimeter grade GPS survey equipment. The permanent pool of the basin will
be surveyed by measuring the depth of water at each measuring location and then the elevation will be
determined by subtracting the depth from the water surface elevation. The sediment accumulation will be
measured at each location by advancing a rod into the sediment until the depth of refusal (the original basin
bottom). Each location of measurement will be surveyed with sub-meter grade GPS survey equipment.
Expenses for this task include mileage, the GPS equipment, and the boat.
Task 200.1 Deliverables:
• Collect bathymetric data of stormwater ponds and wetlands
• Manage survey data in a GIS environment
• Document maintenance concerns using the City’s inspection forms
TASK 200.2 – INFILTRATION TESTING
During the initial screening of infiltration basins within the Bryant Lake watersheds, five (5) infiltration basins
were identified. Stantec proposes to conduct infiltration tests on select basins. The preliminary basins
selected for infiltration testing include 02-24-D, 02-11-E, 02-11-G, 02-11-I, and 02-14-J. The infiltration tests
will be completed using a double-ring infiltrometer. The results of the infiltration tests will be presented in
the final report. Expenses for this task include mileage and the infiltrometer.
Task 200.2 Deliverables:
• Conduct field infiltration test
• Include infiltration test results in final report
TASK 300 – BASIN ANALYSIS
Task 3 analyzes the data collected from Task 2 to determine the sedimentation level, pollutant removal
effectiveness of the basin, and, ultimately, which basins need sediment removal. The basin analysis for
Phase 10 will be conducted in the fall of 2023 and continue through the spring of 2024.
Stantec will use ESRI software to import the GPS survey data from the field evaluation to determine the
degree of sediment deposition in each basin. The ArcGIS software will allow Stantec to calculate the
May 24, 2023 Lori Haak
Page 6 of 8
Reference: Phase 10 Basin Inventory and Assessment
volume of the basin below any elevation. Therefore, we can quickly calculate the basin surface area,
permanent pool volume, and live storage volume. From this information, we will then estimate the degree
of sedimentation by comparing the volume to the design or as-built plans for each basin. Where design or
as-built plans are not available, we will determine the degree of sedimentation using the probing rod results.
Using the spreadsheet from Task 2, Stantec will calculate the water quality volume draining to the basin
and the permanent pool volume within the basin. Flood elevations will be obtained from design plans or
estimated using the top elevation of the basin.
Stantec will prioritize basin maintenance and expansion projects based on the degree of sedimentation
found in each pond, its hydrologic proximity to public waters, and the potential water quality benefits of
increasing permanent pool volumes. The plain-sight maintenance needs identified during the field
evaluation will be included in a separate prioritization that the city may wish to evaluate on a case-by-case
basis and incorporate them into ongoing maintenance programs.
Stantec will develop a P8 model based on the results from Task 2. The modelling results will be
incorporated into the report and will be used to prioritize basin improvement projects.
Task 300 Deliverables:
• Expand the spreadsheet or database from Task 2 to include the calculated parameters from Task
3.
• Develop a P8 model.
• Prepare memo of results of P8 modeling.
TASK 400 – REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Upon completion of the analysis, Stantec will complete a report to summarize the methods and results. The
report will detail the methods of the field evaluation and analysis from Tasks 1-3, and highlight critical
maintenance activities including individual basin sediment volumes. Plain-sight maintenance activities will
be summarized using tables and figures rather than a detailed explanation for each individual basin visited
during the field evaluation.
The technical memorandum will present cost considerations for the recommended maintenance activities.
Among these, dredging and disposal of sediment is likely the most costly. The cost estimates include
construction costs (including mobilization, site preparation, sediment excavation and disposal, minor storm
sewer or structural work, and erosion control), Laboratory analysis and results analysis, Level 2 sediment
disposal costs according to the MPCA guidance, Engineering costs, and 20% contingency.
Stantec will submit a draft technical report to City staff for review and approval prior to finalizing the report.
We expect one meeting with City staff to present the results and recommendations of the study.
Task 400 Deliverables:
• Final spreadsheet or database including evaluated information for each basin.
• All GIS files.
May 24, 2023 Lori Haak
Page 7 of 8
Reference: Phase 10 Basin Inventory and Assessment
• Final report of survey results, maintenance recommendations, and water quality improvement
opportunities.
TASK 500 – MEETINGS & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Task 5 includes attendance at 1 project kickoff meeting, and project coordination time. This task also
include project management activities for monthly invoicing.
Task 500 Deliverables:
• Attendance at 1 meeting to kick-off the project and discuss which ponds will be included in the field
survey.
Schedule and Cost
Stantec anticipates the project will start after a signed contract following the June 13th City Council meeting.
After receiving a signed agreement, Stantec will hold a project kickoff and task setting meeting with the City
during the week following council approval. Table 1 identifies the general project tasks and the proposed
timing of the tasks, assuming a signed agreement is received by the end of May.
Stantec will perform the scope of work outlined above on a time and materials basis not to exceeded
$99,310. Stantec will not exceed the amount in this contract without written consent from the City. In the
event of out-of-scope work or additional requests from the City, Stantec will work with the City to develop a
change in scope and additional budget needed to complete the task(s). Table 1 outlines the expected labor
costs, reimbursable expenses, and equipment that will be utilized for this project.

Background Information
When County Road 62 was reconstructed, an agreement was made between Hennepin County
and The City of Eden Prairie regarding maintenance of sound fences and retaining walls.
Through this agreement it was determined that the city would be responsible for repair and
replacement of the 6-foot-tall double-sided fence that acts as a sound barrier between residential
neighborhoods and County Road 62. The fencing along the south side of the roadway has
become old, rotted, and is starting to lean or fall over; therefore, the Public Works Division has
developed a 4-year plan to start replacing large sections of fencing using dollars approved
through the Capital Improvement Plan.

with Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391. For reimbursable expenses, if
provided for in Exhibit A, the Contractor shall provide an itemized listing and such
documentation as reasonably required by the City. Each invoice shall contain the
City’s project number and a progress summary showing the original (or amended)
amount of the contract, current billing, past payments and unexpended balance of the
contract. Each invoice shall be accompanied by general lien waiver and further lien
waivers from all subcontractors on the project waiving liens for work for which
payment was requested by Contractor and paid for by City on the preceding invoice.
b. Claims. To receive any payment on this Contract, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.38, the
invoice or bill must include the following signed and dated statement: “I declare under
penalty of perjury that this account, claim, or demand is just and correct and that no
part of it has been paid.”
c. Final Payment. Contractor’s request for final payment shall be accompanied by
Contractor’s affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which the City or its property might in any
way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied. Final payment, constituting
the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be paid by the City to the
Contractor when the Work has been completed, the Contract fully performed, and the
City accepts the Work in writing. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a
waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those previously made in writing and
identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of Application for Final Payment.
d. Income Tax Withholding. No final payment shall be made to the Contractor until the
Contractor has provided satisfactory evidence to the City that the Contractor and each
of its subcontracts has complied with the provisions of Minn. Stat. Section 290.92
relating to withholding of income taxes upon wages. A certificate by the Commissioner
of Revenue shall satisfy this requirement.
5. Standard of Care. Contractor shall exercise the same degree of care, skill and diligence in
the performance of its services as is ordinarily exercised by members of the profession under
similar circumstances in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Contractor shall be liable to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, without limitation, for any injuries, loss, or damages
proximately caused by Contractor's breach of this standard of care. Contractor shall put forth
reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely manner. Contractor shall not be responsible
for delays caused by factors beyond its control or that could not be reasonably foreseen at the
time of execution of this Contract. Contractor shall be responsible for costs, delays or damages
arising from unreasonable delays in the performance of its duties.

6. Project Manager and Staffing. The Contractor shall designate a Project Manager and notify
the City in writing of the identity of the Project Manager before starting work on the Project.

completion of the Work in accordance with the terms established herein. Contractor may not
remove or replace the Project Manager without the approval of the City.
7. Condition and Inspection. All goods and other materials furnished under this Contract shall
be new and in current manufacture, unless otherwise specified, and all goods and work shall
be of good quality, free from faults and defects and in conformance with this Contract. All
goods and work not conforming to these requirements shall be considered defective. Goods
shall be subject to inspection and testing by the City. Defective goods or goods not in current
manufacture may be returned to the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense.
8. Correction of Work. The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the City as
defective or as failing to conform under this Contract whether observed before or after
completion of the Work and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor
shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work.
9. Warranty. The Contractor expressly warrants and guarantees to the City that all Work
performed and all materials furnished shall be in accord with the Contract and shall be free
from defects in materials, workmanship, and operation which appear within a period of one
year, or within such longer period as may be prescribed by law or in the terms of the Contract,
from the date of City’s written acceptance of the Work. The City’s rights under the Contractor’s
warranty are not the City’s exclusive remedy. The City shall have all other remedies available
under this Contract, at law or in equity.
Should any defects develop in the materials, workmanship or operation of the system within the
specified period, upon notice from the City, the Contractor agrees, within ten (10) calendar days
after receiving written notice and without expense to the City, to repair, replace and in general to
perform all necessary corrective Work with regard to the defective or nonconforming Work or
materials to the satisfaction of the City. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT IN ANY MANNER
LIMIT THE CITY’S REMEDY OR THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THOSE DEFECTS
APPEARING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. The Contractor agrees to perform the Work
in a manner and at a time so as to minimize any damages sustained by the City and so as to not
interfere with or in any way disrupt the operation of the City or the public.
The corrective Work referred to above shall include without limitation, (a) the cost of removing
the defective or nonconforming Work and materials from the site, (b) the cost of correcting all
Work of other Contractors destroyed or damaged by defective or nonconforming Work and
materials including the cost of removal of such damaged Work and materials form the site, and (c)
the cost of correcting all damages to Work of other Contractors caused by the removal of the
defective or nonconforming Work or materials.
The Contractor shall post bonds to secure the warranties.
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 4 of 16
10. Private Property. The Contractor shall not enter upon private property for any purpose without
having previously obtained permission from the City. The Contractor shall be responsible for
the preservation of, and shall use every precaution to prevent damage to all trees, shrubbery,
plants, lawns, fences, culverts, bridges, pavements, driveways, sidewalks, etc.; all water, sewer
and gas lines; all conduits; all overhead pole lines or appurtenances thereof; and all other public
or private property along or adjacent to the work.
11. Removal of Construction Equipment, Tools and Supplies. At the termination of this
Contract, before acceptance of the Work by the City, the Contractor shall remove all of
Contractor’s equipment, tools and supplies from the property of the City. Should the Contractor
fail to remove such equipment, tools and supplies, the City shall have the right to remove them
and deduct the cost of removal from any amount owed to Contractor.
12. Suspension of Work by City. The City may at any time suspend the Work, or any part thereof,
by giving ten (10) days' notice to the Contractor in writing. The work shall be resumed by the
Contractor within ten (10) days after the date fixed in the written notice from the City to the
Contractor to resume. If the City’s suspension of all or part of the Work causes additional
expenses not due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor, the City shall reimburse the
Contractor for the additional expense incurred due to suspension of the work. Claims for such
compensation, with complete substantiating records, shall be filed with the City within ten (10)
days after the date of order to resume Work in order to receive consideration. This paragraph
shall not be construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement
weather, failure to furnish additional surety or sureties specified herein, for suspension made at
the request of the Contractor, or for any other delay provided for in this Contract.
13. City’s Right to Carry Out the Work. If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the
Work in accordance with the Contract or fails to perform any provisions of the Contract, the
City may, after ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor and without prejudice to any other
remedy the City may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change
Order shall be issued deducting from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractor the cost
of correcting such deficiencies. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not
sufficient to cover such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City.
14. City’s Right to Terminate Contract and Complete the Work. The City has the right to
terminate this Contract for any of the following reasons:
a. The Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or becomes insolvent;
b. Failure of Contractor to supply adequate properly skilled workmen or proper materials;
c. Failure of Contractor to make prompt payment to subcontractor for material or labor;
d. Any disregard of laws, ordinances or proper instructions of the City;
e. Assignment or work without permission of the City;
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 5 of 16
f. Abandonment of the work by Contractor;
g. Failure to meet the work progress schedule set forth in this Contract;
h. Unnecessary delay which, in the judgment of the City, will result in the work not being
completed in the prescribed time.
Termination of the Contract shall be preceded by ten (10) days written notice by the City to the
Contractor and its surety stating the grounds for termination and the measures, if any, which must
be taken to assure compliance with the Contract. The Contract shall be terminated at the expiration
of such ten (10) day period unless the City Council shall withdraw its notice of termination.
Upon termination of the Contract by the City, the City may, without prejudice to any other remedy
the City may have, take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction
equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the Work by whatever
methods the City may deem expedient at the Contractor’s expense.
Upon Contract termination, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until
the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price exceeds the expense of finishing the
Work, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative services, the excess
shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay
the difference to the City.
In the event that the Contractor abandons the Work, fails or refuses to complete the Work or fails to
pay just claims for labor or material, the City reserves the right to charge against the Contractor all
legal, engineering, or other costs resulting from such abandonment, failure or refusal. Legal costs
will include the City's cost of prosecuting or defending any suit in connection with such
abandonment, failure or refusal, and non-payment of claims wherein the City is made co-defendant,
and the Contractor agrees to pay all costs, including reasonable attorney's fees.
15. Contractor’s Right to Terminate Contract. The Contractor may terminate this Contract upon
ten (10) days written notice to the City for any of the following reasons:
a. If an order of any court or other public authority caused the Work to be stopped or
suspended for a period of 90 days through no act or fault of the Contractor or its
employees.
b. If the City should fail to pay any undisputed sum owed Contractor within forty-five (45)
days after the sum becomes due.
16. Performance and Payment Bonds. The Contractor shall post a Performance and Payment
Bond each in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the payments due Contractor
to insure the prompt and faithful performance of this Contract by Contractor and to insure
prompt payment to the subcontractor and suppliers of the Contractor. The Bonds shall be in a
form approved by the City. Contractor shall provide the Bond to the City before commencing
work and together with the executed contract document. If the Performance and/or Payment
Bond are not submitted as provided herein, this Contract shall be considered void.
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 6 of 16
[BONDS ARE REQUIRED FOR A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT THAT IS $175,000 OR
MORE; THEY ARE OPTIONAL FOR ANY CONTRACT THAT IS LESS THAN $175,000]
17. Subcontractor. The Contractor shall bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor shall
agree to be bound by the terms of this Contract as far as applicable to its work, unless specifically
noted to the contrary in a subcontract approved in writing as adequate by the City. The
Contractor shall pay any subcontractor involved in the performance of this Contract within the
ten (10) days of the Contractor's receipt of payment by the City for undisputed services
provided by the subcontractor. If the Contractor fails within that time to pay the subcontractor
any undisputed amount for which the Contractor has received payment by the City, the
Contractor shall pay interest to the subcontractor on the unpaid amount at the rate of 1.5 percent
per month or any part of a month. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an
unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the Contractor
shall pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in
a civil action to collect interest penalties from the Contractor shall be awarded its costs and
disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.
18. Responsible Contractor
Contractor warrants under oath that Contractor is in compliance with the minimum criteria
required of a “responsible contractor” as that term is defined in Minnesota Statutes § 16C.285,
subd. 3. Contractor has provided to City a list of all of its first-tier subcontractors and motor
carriers that it intends to retain for work on the project. The Contractor has obtained from all
subcontractors and motor carriers with which it will have a direct contractual relationship a signed
statement under oath by an owner or officer verifying that the subcontractor or motor carrier meets
all of the minimum criteria in § 16C.285, subd. 3. If Contractor retains additional subcontractors
or motor carriers on the project after submitting its verification of compliance, the Contractor shall
obtain verification of compliance from each additional subcontractor and motor carrier with which
it has a direct contractual relationship and shall submit to the City a supplemental verification
confirming the subcontractor’s and motor carrier’s compliance with subdivision 3, clause (7),
within 14 days of retaining the additional subcontractors or motor carriers. Contractor shall submit
to the City upon request copies of the signed verifications of compliance from all subcontractors
and motor carriers of any tier pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 16C.285, subd. 3(7). A false statement
under oath, by Contractor, subcontractor, or motor carrier, verifying compliance with any of the
minimum criteria may result in termination of the Contract.
19. Independent Contractor. Contractor is an independent contractor engaged by City to
perform the services described herein and as such (i) shall employ such persons as it shall deem
necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Contract, who
shall be employees, and under the direction, of Contractor and in no respect employees of City,
and (ii) shall have no authority to employ persons, or make purchases of equipment on behalf
of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No statement herein shall be construed so as to
find the Contractor an employee of the City.
20. Insurance.
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 7 of 16
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Contractor shall procure, maintain and
pay for such insurance as will protect against claims or loss which may arise out of
operations by Contractor or by any subcontractor or by anyone employed by any of
them or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such insurance shall
include, but not be limited to, minimum coverages and limits of liability specified in
this Paragraph, required by law, or the insurance coverage actually obtained by

limits of liability for the Work:
Worker’s Compensation Statutory Limits
Employer’s Liability $500,000 each accident

c. Commercial General Liability. The Commercial General Liability Policy shall be on
ISO form CG 00 01 12 07 or CG 00 01 04 13, or the equivalent. Such insurance shall
cover liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-
completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an
insured contract (including the tort liability of another assumed in a business contract).
There shall be no endorsement or modification of the Commercial General Liability
form arising from pollution, explosion, collapse, underground property damage or
work performed by subcontractors.
d. Contractor shall maintain “stop gap” coverage if Contractor obtains Workers’
Compensation coverage from any state fund if Employer’s liability coverage is not
available.
e. All policies, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, shall name the “City of Eden
Prairie” as an additional insured.
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 8 of 16
f. All policies, except Worker’s Compensation Policy, and Professional Liability Policy,
shall name the “City of Eden Prairie” as an additional insured including products and
completed operations.
g. All polices shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
h. All General Liability policies, Automobile Liability policies, and Umbrella policies
shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
i. All polices, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, shall insure the defense and
indemnity obligations assumed by Contractor under this Contract.
j. Contractor agrees to maintain all coverage required herein throughout the term of the
Contract and for a minimum of two (2) years following City’s written acceptance of
the Work.
k. It shall be Contractor’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverage’s required herein.
l. All policies shall contain a provision or endorsement that coverages afforded
thereunder shall not be cancelled or non-renewed or restrictive modifications added,
without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the City, except that if the cancellation or non-
renewal is due to non-payment, the coverages may not be terminated or non-renewed
without ten (10) days’ prior notice to the City.
m. Contractor shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Contractor’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less than
A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing.
n. A copy of the Contractor’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the
compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Contractor’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Contractor’s insurance declaration
page, Rider and/or Endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing Insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory
evidence that Contractor has complied with all insurance requirements. Renewal
certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of the required
policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate of Insurance,
declaration page, Rider, Endorsement or certificates or other evidence of insurance, or
to advise Contractor of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt thereof shall not
relieve Contractor from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to enforce the terms
of Contractor’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to examine any policy
provided for under this paragraph.
o. Effect of Contractor’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Contractor fails to provide
the specified insurance, then Contractor will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 9 of 16
City, the City's officials, agents and employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the extent necessary
to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict
liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless
of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim
which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the
negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that
this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor
also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then
the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that
applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation
have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Contractor to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from
Contractor's insurance company.
Contractor will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice from
the City.
21. Indemnification. Contractor will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs and
expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or for
which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Contract by Contractor, its agents,
contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or
not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to this
Contract. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any loss for
injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or
employees.
22. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information generated
in connection with the performance of the Contract (“Information”) shall become the property
of the City, but Contractor may retain copies of such documents as records of the services
provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the Contractor also may use
the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the purposes of the project
contemplated by this Contract does not relieve any liability on the part of the Contractor, but
any use of the Information by the City or the Contractor beyond the scope of this Contract is
without liability to the other, and the party using the Information agrees to defend and
indemnify the other from any claims or liability resulting therefrom.
23. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this agreement shall
be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or legal or equitable
Standard Construction Contract 2018 08 01 Page 10 of 16
actions by either party. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall be in accordance
with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association then
currently in effect. A request for mediation shall be filed in writing with the American
Arbitration Association and the other party. No arbitration or legal or equitable action may be
instituted for a period of 90 days from the filing of the request for mediation unless a longer
period of time is provided by agreement of the parties. Cost of mediation shall be shared
equally between the parties. Mediation shall be held in the City of Eden Prairie unless another
location is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties shall memorialize any agreement
resulting from the mediation in a mediated settlement agreement, which agreement shall be
enforceable as a settlement in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
2024 Vehicle & Equipment Replacement
Vehicle Schedule
ITEM NO.:
VIII.H.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the ordering and purchase of the 2024 Replacement Plan vehicles and equipment as
itemized on the attached schedule and declaring surplus the attached list of vehicles for
disposal.
Synopsis:
The Equipment Replacement Fund was developed by Fleet Services Division to provide a 15-year
projection of equipment needs and a corresponding replacement schedule for each vehicle. Annual budget
requests are created from this schedule to determine future year funding needs for operating budgets. Staff
has finalized the details of each replacement or new vehicle purchase as per our current replacement policy
guidelines. The final list is attached and submitted for approval. The planned Fleet Capital Internal Service
Fund purchase expenditures for 2024 are estimated at $ 2,119,000.00.
Staff is requesting authorization to order the 2024 replacement vehicles when the MN State Purchasing
Agreement or other cooperative purchasing ventures are complete and manufacturers order windows open.
This action is requested due to the expected long lead times from manufactures to deliver
equipment/vehicles and the projected short time frame the manufactures will allow for orders for model
year 2024 vehicles. Projected delivery dates for these vehicles will not be before early to mid-year 2024 so
actual expenditures will not occur until that time.
The City of Eden Prairie participates in the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV). This
enables the City to buy vehicles and equipment under the terms of contracts already negotiated by the State of
Minnesota. Joint Powers Agreements as listed in the City of Eden Prairie purchasing policy are also utilized.
Staff also requests that in the case that the vehicles are not available from CPV contracted dealers or Joint
powers agreement vendors, that we may obtain quotes from Retail Dealers and negotiate with them for
purchasing of the requested vehicles.
Lastly, staff is requesting authorization to declare as surplus the list of vehicles scheduled for replacement.
These vehicles will be used as traded ins for replacement vehicles, placed in auction, or sold at authorized
sales sites.

Over 10,000 people gather around Round Lake Park and the surrounding area on the 4th of July
to view and enjoy the spectacular fireworks display shot off over the lake. An impressive

Synopsis
The tenants of the Riley Lake Park rental house have been renting the historic Riley-Jacques
house since 2011 and have expressed interest in extending the lease for one year.
Background
The City has been renting the Riley-Jacques house at Riley Lake Park for many years, with Nathan
and Autumn Brown Lovas beginning to live in the home in 2011. Having someone in the house has
allowed the City to gain revenue, but more importantly, has kept someone in the home caring for and
protecting this historic site. Staff has purposely kept rent low compared to other rental properties
because of the renter’s responsibility for the high cost of heating the home and the intensive care
needed to maintain the home.

penalties from the Consultant shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including
attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.
10. Independent Consultant. Consultant is an independent contractor engaged by City to
perform the services described herein and as such (i) shall employ such persons as it shall
deem necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement, who shall be employees, and under the direction, of Consultant and in no
respect employees of City, and (ii) shall have no authority to employ persons, or make
purchases of equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No statement
herein shall be construed so as to find the Consultant an employee of the City.
11. Insurance.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Consultant shall procure, maintain and
pay for such insurance as will protect against claims or loss which may arise out of
operations by Consultant or by any subcontractor or by anyone employed by any of
them or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such insurance shall
include, but not be limited to, minimum coverages and limits of liability specified in
this Paragraph, or required by law.

with subcontractors the requirement that the City be listed as an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. In such case, prior to a subcontractor
performing any Work covered by this Agreement, Consultant must: (i) provide the City
with a certificate of insurance issued by the subcontractor’s insurance agent indicating
that the City is an additional insured on the subcontractor’s insurance policy; and (ii)
submit to the City a copy of Consultant’s agreement with the subcontractor for purposes

completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an
insured contract (including the tort liability of another assumed in a business contract).
There shall be no endorsement or modification of the Commercial General Liability

work performed by subcontractors.
e. Professional Liability Insurance. In addition to the coverages listed above, Consultant
shall maintain a professional liability insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000.
Said policy need not name the City as an additional insured. It shall be Consultant’s
responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the professional liability insurance.
Consultant agrees to maintain the professional liability insurance for a minimum of two
(2) years following termination of this Agreement.
f. Consultant shall maintain “stop gap” coverage if Consultant obtains Workers’
Compensation coverage from any state fund if Employer’s liability coverage is not
available.
g. All policies, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, Automobile Policy, and

basis.
i. All General Liability policies, Automobile Liability policies and Umbrella policies

Page 6 of 10 2021 04 22
Liability policy shall insure the defense and indemnity obligations assumed by
Consultant under this Agreement except with respect to the liability for loss or damage
resulting from the negligence or fault of anyone other than the Consultant or others for
whom the Consultant is legally liable.
l. Consultant agrees to maintain all coverage required herein throughout the term of the
Agreement and for a minimum of two (2) years following City’s written acceptance of
the Work.
m. It shall be Consultant’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverages required herein.
n. All policies shall contain a provision or endorsement that coverages afforded
thereunder shall not be cancelled or non-renewed or restrictive modifications added,
without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the City, except that if the cancellation or non-
renewal is due to non-payment, the coverages may not be terminated or non-renewed
without ten (10) days’ prior notice to the City.
o. Consultant shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Consultant’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less than
A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing.
p. A copy of the Consultant’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the
compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Consultant’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Consultant’s insurance declaration
page, Rider and/or Endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing Insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory
evidence that Consultant has complied with all insurance requirements. Renewal
certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of the required
policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate of Insurance,
declaration page, Rider, Endorsement or certificates or other evidence of insurance, or
to advise Consultant of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt thereof shall
not relieve Consultant from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to enforce the
terms of Consultant’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to examine any
policy provided for under this paragraph.
q. Effect of Consultant’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Consultant fails to provide
the specified insurance, then Consultant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents and employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the extent necessary
to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict
liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless
of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim
which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the
Page 7 of 10 2021 04 22
negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Consultant, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Consultant agrees that
this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Consultant
also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then
the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that
applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation
have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Consultant
to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from
Consultant's insurance company.
Consultant will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City.
12. Indemnification. Consultant will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs
and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred
or for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Consultant,
its agents, contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission
performed, taken or not performed or taken by Consultant, its agents, contractors and
employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Consultant harmless
from and against any loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the
City, its officers, agents or employees.
13. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information
generated in connection with the performance of the Agreement (“Information”) shall
become the property of the City, but Consultant may retain copies of such documents as
records of the services provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the
Consultant also may use the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the
purposes of the project contemplated by this Agreement (“Project”) does not relieve any
liability on the part of the Consultant, but any use of the Information by the City or the
Consultant beyond the scope of the Project is without liability to the other, and the party
using the Information agrees to defend and indemnify the other from any claims or liability
resulting therefrom.
14. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this agreement
shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or legal or
equitable actions by either party. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall
be in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association then currently in effect. A request for mediation shall be filed in writing with
the American Arbitration Association and the other party. No arbitration or legal or
equitable action may be instituted for a period of 90 days from the filing of the request for
Page 8 of 10 2021 04 22
mediation unless a longer period of time is provided by agreement of the parties. Cost of
mediation shall be shared equally between the parties. Mediation shall be held in the City
of Eden Prairie unless another location is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties
shall memorialize any agreement resulting from the mediation in a mediated settlement
agreement, which agreement shall be enforceable as a settlement in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
SECTION: Public Hearings
DATE:
06/13/2023
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION:
Community Development/Planning
Julie Klima/Ben Schneider
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Bush Lake Pet Hospital
ITEM NO.:
IX.A.
Requested Action
Move to:
• Close the Public Hearing; and
• Adopt a Resolution for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 1.19 acres; and
• Approve the 1st reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review with
waivers and Zoning Change from OFC to N-COM on 1.19 acres; and
• Direct Staff to prepare a development agreement incorporating Staff recommendations and
Council conditions; and
• Authorize the issuance of an early Land Alteration Permit for Bush Lake Pet Hospital at the
request of the Developer subject to the conditions outlined in the permit
Synopsis
The applicant is proposing to construct an
approximately 5,074 square foot, single-level
commercial building. About 3,958 square feet
would be occupied by Bush Lake Pet Hospital,
while the other 1,015 square feet would be for an
additional commercial or office tenant, to be
determined. The tenant is relocating from
Bloomington to increase its tenant space. The
business would not have overnight boarding with
the exception of surgery patients. The lot for this
proposed building is located directly north of the
Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center along
Hennepin Town Road and across the street from the
Bluff Country Village townhome development. The
applicant is requesting a Zone Change to
Neighborhood Commercial (N-COM) from Office (OFC) to accommodate the proposed vet clinic use. The
developer is also requesting PUD waivers for minimum lot size and lot depth in the N-COM district.
Background
REZONING
The subject property was rezoned from Neighborhood Commercial to Office in 2007 in conjunction with
the Kinderberry Hill PUD development. The City approval included conceptual plans for an office building
on the subject parcel, which was never constructed. While the site has maintained its Office zoning, it is
Project
Site
2
now guided Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting to rezone the parcel back
to Neighborhood Commercial, consistent with this guided land use.
SITE PLAN
The 5,074 sq ft building is proposed to be located on the northeast part of the site and meets all required
building setbacks. The site plan also shows an outdoor fenced enclosure for pets on the rear (east) side of
the building.
The site is required to have 30 parking stalls (26 for the building and 4 to be shared with the Kinderberry
parcel). There are 33 stalls provided. The site plan also includes two (2) access points. The first would
utilize the existing curb cut along Hennepin Town Road. The second is a proposed connection between the
subject property and the Kinderberry Hill property to the south, as suggested by the original development
plans for the daycare. A speed bump is proposed at the access point between the two lots. The daycare is
supportive of the project, and a written letter of support is included as an attachment to this memo.
TRAFFIC
The applicant has submitted a traffic memo as a part of this project. The memo utilizes the ITE Trip
Generation Manual and estimates that the vet clinic would yield 89 daily trips and that the second tenant
would yield 17 daily trips, which adds up to 106 total daily trips. This report also analyzes the sight lines
3
for drivers exiting the site onto Hennepin Town Road. They conclude that the intersection sight distances
are acceptable.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a more
creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the types of
environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and intensity of land use
where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design.
As a part of the PUD process, the applicant is seeking waivers to City Code requirements as outlined below.
A. Lot Size
City Code requires a minimum lot size of two (2) acres for Neighborhood Commercial (N-COM)
lots. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a lot size of 1.19 acres. The current guiding of the
parcel is Commercial, and the only two commercial districts that would not require a lot size waiver
for the subject parcel are Regional Service (C-REG-SER) and Highway Commercial (C-HWY).
Compared to those alternatives, Neighborhood Commercial zoning is more compatible with the
proposed use and the zoning of the surrounding area, which includes other lots zoned Neighborhood
Commercial. The lot size is a pre-existing condition and is not created by the development proposal.
B. Lot Depth
City Code requires a minimum average lot depth of 200 feet for Neighborhood Commercial lots.
The applicant is requesting a waiver to instead have an average lot depth of 129 feet. This is also a
pre-existing condition and is not created by the development proposal. The rationale for this waiver
is similar to the lot size waiver request above. Staff supports the waivers, as the lot size and depth
are not adjusted by the applicant, and the zoning district proposed, though requiring waivers, is more
compatible with the surrounding land uses.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE REPLACEMENT
The subject parcel, in addition to other nearby lots, was cleared and graded as part of the Bluff Country
Village development. As a result, a total of 193 caliper inches of tree replacement is deferred to this parcel.
The landscape and tree plan includes 95 caliper inches of new trees that go towards this tree replacement
requirement. Since it would be reasonably difficult to plant additional trees on the site, the applicant has
agreed to pay a cash in lieu fee for the remaining 98 caliper inches. The developer is not proposing to
remove any additional significant nor heritage trees on the site.
This project also requires 22 caliper inches of landscaping. The plan meets this requirement and also
includes additional shrubs that are not counted towards the landscaping requirements.
ARCHITECTURE
The proposed building has a combination of flat and pitched roofs, adding visual interest. The two sections
of the building with pitched roofs are located above the entrances of each tenant space, which clearly defines
the entrances. The building meets and exceeds City Code standards for color variation and number of Class
I materials, which include brick, stone, and glass. The structure also incorporates Class II materials,
including EIFS, porcelain tile, and metal. Each façade complies with having at least 75% Class I materials.
4
The plans include a proposed trash enclosure structure that uses complimentary materials to the principal
building.
SUSTAINABILITY
The applicant notes the following sustainable features in their project narrative:
• Energy efficient appliances will be used in the facility.
• Conduit will be installed to accommodate future EV charging in the parking lot.
• Low VOC materials shall be reviewed and incorporated into the final building design where
appropriate.
• Roughly 25 percent of the site will remain undisturbed, which will lessen potential soil erosion.
• While the trees are required, the approximately 95 caliper inches of new trees would help absorb
rainfall and stormwater runoff from the site.
EARLY GRADING PERMIT
To meet their construction schedule, the applicant has requested approval of an early Land Alteration
Permit. Approval of the permit will allow the applicant to begin grading on the site prior to the 2nd
reading. Issuance of early land alteration permits have been requested and approved by the Council for
other projects. Issuance of an early land alternation permit requires the submittal and approval by City
staff of all relevant information. Any work completed prior to final approval of the project is done at the
Developer’s risk.
5
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the project at their May 22, 2023
meeting, consistent with staff’s recommendation and the staff report dated May 22, 2023.
The Commission also discussed the following items:
1. The architectural plans submitted for the Planning Commission showed the parapet on three of the
four walls of the building. Discussion included modification of the eastern façade to also include a
parapet to further screen rooftop mechanical equipment. The applicant has updated the plans to
have the parapet on all four façades.
2. The site plan previously showed the trash enclosure facing parallel with Hennepin Town Road.
The Commission discussed revising the plans to have the enclosure door face away from the Right
of Way. The applicant has revised the plans by rotating the trash enclosure 90 degrees.
Two (2) residents spoke during the public hearing. After stating support for the project, they expressed
safety concerns when exiting onto Hennepin Town Road from the Bluff Village neighborhood. They
asked the City to look into reducing the speed limit on Hennepin Town Road and improving sight line
conditions.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Ben Schneider, Planner I
DATE: May 22, 2023
SUBJECT: Bush Lake Pet Hospital
LOCATION: PID: 25-116-22-44-0130 (north of 10160 Hennepin Town Road)
APPLICANT: Highland Ventures, LTD.
120 DAY
REVIEW: August 15, 2023
REQUEST: • Zoning Change from Office (OFC) to Neighborhood Commercial
(N-COM) on 1.19 acres
• Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 1.19 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 1.19
acres
• Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres
BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to construct an
approximately 5,074 square foot, single-
level commercial building. About 3,958
square feet would be occupied by Bush
Lake Pet Hospital, while the other 1,015
square feet would be for an additional
commercial or office tenant (TBD). This
vet is planning to relocate from
Bloomington to this new proposed building
in Eden Prairie in order to have more tenant
space. Operating hours are planned to be
8:00am-5:00pm Monday through Friday,
8:00am-12:00pm Saturday, and closed on
Sunday. There will be no overnight
boarding with the exception of surgery
patients.
The 1.19 acre site is currently vacant and is directly north of the Kinderberry Hill Child
Development Center along Hennepin Town Road and across the street from the Bluff Country
Village townhome development. The subject parcel also borders US Highway 169 to the east,

which is physically separated by a sound wall.
REZONING
The subject property was rezoned from Neighborhood Commercial to Office in 2007 in
conjunction with the Kinderberry Hill PUD development. The City approval included conceptual
plans for an office building on the subject parcel, which was never constructed. While the site has
maintained its Office zoning, it is now guided Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. The
applicant is requesting to rezone the parcel back to Neighborhood Commercial, consistent with
this guided land use.
SITE PLAN
The applicant is proposing to construct an approximately 5,074 square foot, single-level
commercial building. About 3,958 square feet would be occupied by Bush Lake Pet Hospital,
while the other 1,015 square feet would be for an additional commercial or office tenant (TBD).
The building is proposed to be located on the northeast part of the site and meets all required
building setbacks. The site plan also shows an outdoor fenced enclosure for pets on the rear side
of the building.
The parcel has two street frontages, meaning the site is permitted to have one frontage with a 17.5-
foot parking setback. The proposed parking areas comply with all setback requirements. Using
the ratio of five (5) parking stalls for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, as required in City
Code, 26 parking spaces are required. In addition, the development agreement associated with the
Staff Report – Bush Lake Pet Hospital
May 22, 2023
Page 3
adjacent daycare requires that the subject site to “provide 4 parking spaces for the use of [the
daycare parcel]”. This means the site is required to have 30 stalls in total. The site plan shows 34
parking stalls.
The site plan includes two (2) access points. The first would utilize the existing curb cut along
Hennepin Town Road. The second is a proposed connection between the subject property and the
Kinderberry Hill property to the south as suggested by the original development plans. An
easement agreement already exists between these two parcels for the construction and use of this
parking lot connection.
TRAFFIC
The applicant has submitted a traffic memo as a part of this project. The memo utilizes the ITE
Trip Generation Manual and estimates that the vet clinic would yield 89 daily trips and that the
second tenant would yield 17 daily trips, which adds up to 106 total daily trips. This report also
analyzes the sight lines for drivers exiting the site onto Hennepin Town Road. They conclude that
the intersection sight distances are acceptable.
ARCHITECHTURAL STANDARDS
The proposed building has a combination of flat and pitched roofs, adding visual interest. The two
sections of the building with pitched roofs are located above the entrances of each tenant space,
Staff Report – Bush Lake Pet Hospital
May 22, 2023
Page 4
which clearly defines the entrances. The building meets City Code standards for color variation
and number of Class I materials, which include brick, stone, and glass. The structure also
incorporates Class II materials, including EIFS, porcelain tile, and metal. Each façade complies
with having at least 75% Class I materials.
The proposed trash enclosure, shown on the
right, uses complimentary materials to the
principal structure.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
WAIVERS
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide
for a more creative and efficient approach to
the use of land within the City; to allow variety
in the types of environment available to people
and distribution of overall density of
population and intensity of land use where
desirable and feasible; and provide for greater
creativity and flexibility in environmental design.
As a part of the PUD process, the applicant is seeking waivers to City Code requirements as
outlined below.
A. Lot Size
City Code requires a minimum lot size of two (2) acres for Neighborhood Commercial (N-
COM) lots. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a lot size of 1.19 acres. The
current guiding of the parcel is Commercial, and the only two commercial districts that
would not require a lot size waiver for the subject parcel are Regional Service (C-REG-
SER) and Highway Commercial (C-HWY). Compared to those alternatives, Neighborhood
Commercial zoning is more compatible with the proposed use and the zoning of the
surrounding area, which includes other lots that are zoned Neighborhood Commercial.
B. Lot Depth
City Code requires a minimum average lot depth of 200 feet for Neighborhood Commercial
(N-COM) lots. The applicant is requesting a waiver to instead have an average lot depth of
129 feet. The rationale for this waiver is similar to the lot size waiver request above. Staff
supports the waivers, as the lot size and depth are not adjusted by the applicant, and the
zoning district proposed, though requiring waivers, is more compatible with the
surrounding land uses.
Staff Report – Bush Lake Pet Hospital

LANDSCAPE AND TREE REPLACEMENT PLAN
The subject parcel, in addition to other nearby lots, was cleared and graded as part of the Bluff
Country Village project. As part of that project, a number of significant and heritage trees were
identified as needing to be saved, but all other trees were removed and a replacement requirement
of 904 caliper inches was deferred until the remaining parcels were developed. In 2007, the
Kinderberry Hill project agreed to plant 29 of these caliper inches, bringing the new outstanding
total to 875 caliper inches between the remaining vacant lots. When dividing this number based
on the areas of these lots, this left 193 caliper inches of replacement requirement for the subject
parcel. The landscape and tree plan includes 95 caliper inches of new trees that go towards the tree
replacement requirement. Since it would be reasonably difficult to plant additional trees on the
site, the applicant has agreed to pay a cash in lieu fee for the remaining caliper inches. Also, the
applicant is not proposing to remove any additional significant nor heritage trees on the site.
This project also requires 22 caliper inches of landscaping. The plan meets this requirement and
also includes additional shrubs that are not counted towards the landscaping requirements.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
An underground detention system is proposed to be installed beneath the parking lot. The
underground detention system treats stormwater pollution from the site’s runoff and reduces
discharge rates to the downstream storm sewer system. This system will tie into the existing
stormwater piping on the daycare lot to the south, which flows to the stormwater pond to the south
of the daycare. This connection is permitted due to an existing easement agreement between the
subject parcel, daycare lot, and the outlot with the stormwater pond. This property is not in the
shoreland overlay district.
LIGHTING
Three (3) new light poles are proposed as a part of this project. There will also be lighting on the
building to illuminate the sidewalk in front of the building entrances. A photometric plan was
submitted and shows that the lighting would meet the City Code requirements, as the plan shows
light levels to be at or below 0.5 footcandles at the property lines.
SIGNS
Sign areas are shown on the exterior elevations for illustrative purposes only. All proposed signs
will require review and approval through the sign permit process and compliance with City Code
Section 11.70.
SUSTAINABILITY
The applicant notes the following sustainable features in their project narrative:
• Energy efficient appliances will be used in the facility.
• Conduit will be installed to accommodate future EV charging in the parking lot.
• Low VOC materials shall be reviewed and incorporated into the final building design
where appropriate.
• Roughly 25 percent of the site will remain undisturbed, which will lessen potential soil

erosion.
• While the trees are required, the approximately 95 caliper inches of new trees would help
absorb rainfall and stormwater runoff from the site.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND RESIDENT INPUT
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 2nd, 2023. A total of 15 residents attended
the meeting. Attached to this report is a written summary by the applicant of the neighborhood
meeting. As of this writing, City staff has not received any written nor verbal comments from the
public related to this project.

Eric Reinerson, Principal at SRA, displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. This was a unique reuse of the southwest quadrant of Highway 62
and Baker Road, with industrial uses to the west, Lifetime Fitness to the east, and
a townhouse association to the south. This 1990s building had been built as an
office, and was underutilized. The site had great potential so the parcel would be
repositioned as an assisted living facility. It was wooded and well screened from
the highway. There was a wetland on the east boundary and all setbacks were met.
A low-lying area to the northwest and the hills to the west and south contributed
to the natural, wooded atmosphere. Phase One would be the renovation and
remodeling of the existing structure for 31 assisted living residents. A commercial
kitchen, dining and group activity spaces, leisure activity spaces, and occupancy
rooms would be added. In the future the owner would wish to expand this
building. Reinerson displayed the addition with extended west and south of the
existing building. It would contribute an additional 81 units along with the
requisite parking. Reinerson displayed the elevations and materials, which were
similar to the original materials of the current building. He explained the grading
and drainage improvements as well as the access changes. The landscape plan met
all tree replacement requirements. Where the perimeter hills dipped allowed for a
pleasant view but the development would be scantly visible to neighbors, as well
as a low-noise, low-traffic development.
Farr asked if the shared access could handle increased traffic during holidays, and
suggested a parking agreement with the 6200 building to accommodate this.
Reinerson agreed to suggest this to the property owner. Farr asked if the receiving
dock was for maintenance purposes and Reinerson replied it was for kitchen
deliveries, whereas residents would be brought to the main entrance.
Mette asked if the residents would share bathrooms. Reinerson replied they did,
but did not have to go through a public corridor to access it. The residents would
all have private suites with a shared bathroom.
Barnhart presented the staff report. Four waivers were being requested among the
five actions. Waiver from the covered parking requirement was supported for this
development, since residents don’t drive and most traffic would come from
relatives and visitors. The barrel roof was added at staff’s suggestion to mimic the
original design, requiring the height waiver, and the parking island at the
southwest corner of the building would be partly paved to accommodate a
sidewalk and ADA ramp. The project met the landscaping requirements with tree
replacement as part of Phase Two. Most of the vegetation along the south side
would be kept to provide screening. A neighborhood meeting held in March and
other outreach yielded no comments. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked what zoning allowed such density, and Barnhart replied there were
none; TOD and Mixed Use allowed for higher density, with 17.04 being the
highest. Mette replied she was surprised there was not a higher maximum density

May 22, 2023
Page 3
requirement for a multifamily zoning district. She asked for and received
confirmation the development entitlement extended into perpetuity. Barnhart
explained any rules changes could trigger a PUD amendment. Mette asked if a
previous similar developments required covered parking. Barnhart replied he did
not believe there had been a formal waiver for covered parking but the plan was
approved without covered parking. Mette noted there were different levels of
assisted living, and asked if memory care would depart from other requirements
of other kinds of assisted living. Barnhart replied the City was drafting
requirements for the different levels of assistance (independent living, assisted
living, memory care, et cetera). Kirk stated these three categories were familiar to
him, and in other developments these could be mixed, complicating the
requirements. He stated he supported the waivers. Mette replied this dedicated
property was easier to address, but other developments could have different care
levels that changed over time.
Mette asked what the “elderly waiver” affordability category was. Barnhart
replied it related to how this project was funded, how the tenant accessed the
property, the tenant’s incomes, and what proportion of their rent was aided by the
services they received. He offered to provide additional information to the City
Council upon its review of this project.
Farr asked if the landscaping required the removal of significant or heritage trees.
Bourne replied perhaps one heritage tree would be removed in Phase One, and the
replacement requirement was being met for Phase Two (36 trees, nonheritage).
Farr asked for and received clarification the size of the tree was determined at the
time of the approval of the application. Farr asked why screening was required
between residential districts. Barnhart replied it was due to the density of the
neighboring developments to the south. Farr asked if the moving van would block
the circular fire lane. Barnhart replied this concern had not been raised during
project review. The existing parking lot would be retained during Phase One and
changed in Phase Two. He offered to alert the Fire Chief. Farr stated the two-story
addition was disproportionate with the existing four-story building. Also, the
materials did not match since the addition had a cornice but the original building
did not. He suggested an addition more in keeping with the original design.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 9-0.
Mette stated the architecture was her main concern, but was not able to get
specific as to why this was not what she expected. She supported the waivers.
Kirk stated his support for the project. He added he was surprised Eden Prairie
has a lot of assisted living but there was high demand. This was a good location,
yet the architecture was a difficult question, as Farr and Mette had stated. In
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

general the rules produced good results and he proposed going ahead with this
development despite its incongruities.
Grote stated the residents would be looking out at a wonderful view, which
overruled the concerns about the exterior architecture. Farr agreed, and stated he
trusted staff to work with the applicant on a development that had so many good
points in addition to the building design.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Sherwood to recommend approval of the
Guide Plan Change from Office to Medium High Density Residential on 3.79
acres; a PUD Concept Plan Review on 3.79 acres; a PUD District Review with
waivers on 3.79 acres; a Zoning Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 3.79 acres;
and a Site Plan Review on 3.79 acres, as represented in the staff report dated May
22, 2023 and the plans stamp dated April 28, 2023. Motion carried 9-0.
B. BUSH LAKE PET HOSPITAL (2023-04)
Request for:
• Zoning Change from Office (OFC) to neighborhood Commercial (N-
COM) on 1.19 acres
• PUD Concept Review on 1.19 acres
• PUD Review with waivers on 1.19 acres
• Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres
Michael Kohne of Highland Ventures, LTD, detailed the application. The
proposed development was a 5,074 square foot, single-story building, which
would divide 3,958 square feet for the hospital and 1,015 square feet for other
commercial space. This was a vet relocation from Bloomington. There would be
no overnight boarding of pets with the exception of surgical patients.
The zoning was currently office, and the proposed change was to PUD guided
commercial. The site had an unusual lot shape bounded by Hennepin Town Road
and Highway 169 which resulted in design challenges that required waivers. The
landscape material, water and sewer met requirements. There were a number of
sustainable elements, including one conduit with a pole wire for EV charging in
the parking lot.
The anticipated start date was July 1, 2023 with a projected completion date of
January 1, 2024.
There was no shoreline and the site did not abut any water, so the flood plain
Ordinance did not apply. Kohne displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the
stormwater management plan with the stormwater retention system beneath the
parking lot.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
May 22, 2023
Page 5
Dr. Douglas Gates of Bush Lake gave a brief history and overview of the pet
hospital. Kohne displayed some renderings showing the elevation and materials.
Residents attending the neighborhood meeting had concerns about traffic but were
in general supportive of the project.
Sivilay asked for and received confirmation there was space between this site with
its fence and the access to the Kinderbury Hill PUD development. There would be
some vegetative screening with trees.
Mette noted the retail parking was 5 spaces per 1,000 and asked if the remaining
vacant space would be sufficient for the neighboring tenant. She asked what kind
of tenant the applicant was considering. Kohne did not have a specific answer but
stated the intent was to avoid filling the retail space with a high-traffic tenant (a
coffee shop, et cetera), but perhaps with light retail use. Mette suggested the main
landscaping island in front of hospital entrance have plantings that would survive
dogs’ uses of that area. Kohne replied the rear left corner had a 10- by 15-foot
fenced in area for animals to use the restroom while on leash.
Farr suggested the EV ready accommodation have panel boards and transformers
of sufficient size that could handle the additional load. He also suggested the trash
enclosure be rotated 90 degrees so that the gate would open to the right (south)
and keep the doors out of public sight. He noted an opportunity for signage on the
site alongside the northbound Highway 169 frontage road and stated the tenant
might request that, so the parapet should be kept at a consistent height to facilitate
this and screen the mechanical units.
Taylor stated he had met with staff at the neighboring daycare center who were
concerned about sharing the parking lot. Kohne replied there was the intention to
include speed bumps but this plan was not that granular.
Barnhart presented the staff report. The site was currently vacant and the
applicant was seeking four actions: a zoning change from Office to Neighborhood
Commercial; a PUD Concept Review; a PUD Development District Review with
waivers; and a Site Plan Review. The zoning change to Neighborhood
Commercial required a waiver due to the existing lot size and depth, and this
change was the best fit for the neighborhood and was supported by staff. Nothing
about the lot was changing. The setback and materials requirement were met and
exceeded in this application. The access was through a shared parking easement
and staff thought this connection was effective in reducing trips on Hennepin
Town Road. Four parking spaces would be provided for the neighboring childcare
service providing the connection. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked if the connection had previously gone through the PUD process and
wondered why it was not going through this process now. Barnhart stated this site
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
May 22, 2023
Page 6
had intended to be an office, but since it had never gone through the PUD process
to be rezoned as office, it was not required for this application.
Alicia Reeves, resident at 9673 Belmont Lane, stated she was speaking on behalf
of a group that fully supported the hospital development but was concerned about
the traffic on Hennepin Town Road. She requested the speed limit be reduced
from 45 miles per hour on the approach to the site and 40 miles per hour around
the corner along it. She also wished to hear the details about the connection with
the childcare center, and suggested speed bumps and “child at play” signs.
Jerry Maher, resident at 9778 Belmont Lane, stated at the exit on Belmont Lane
the next car in sight would be 112 feet to the north (three seconds at 45 miles an
hour), placing the onus upon the driver leaving Belmont Lane to change lanes or
stop in time due to oncoming traffic. That was the reason for the request to lower
the speed limit; however, increasing the sightline from Belmont Lane to Linden
by cutting foliage would restore the street to how it looked 20 years ago at the
formation of the association which owned the land on the west side of Belmont
Lane. This was a protected wetland, so there were limitations on what could be
cut. Concerned neighbors were meeting with the Traffic Engineer to brainstorm
ideas. If the sightline could not be increased, the speed limit needed to be reduced
and/or flashing signs need to be installed.
MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 9-0.
Kirk noted this was a difficult property for any design and found the plan to be a
good use of it. Traffic movement inside and outside of the property were the main
issues. Rue stated there were a few roads in Eden Prairie that were being reviewed
for speed limits, and Hennepin Town Road was one of them. A traffic study
would be required to reduce the speed limit. Enforcement was always an issue,
and expansion of the sightlines was a viable option. Kirk noted there were already
meetings with the Traffic Engineer on this issue.
Mette agreed this was an important issue and wished the City Council to hear
these concerns. Overall she found this site appropriate for the zoning change to
Neighborhood Commercial and found the internal connection a good solution.
Farr also expressed support for the development and hoped the issue of traffic on
Hennepin Town Road would be resolved in a broader discussion. He stated he
could make a motion that included the condition of rotating the trash enclosure 90
degrees and raise the parapet wall on the east elevation to accommodate signage.
Barnhart replied the section of the building over 20 feet tall would be considered a
second floor, which would require the applicant to come back and process a
waiver at that time. Mette stated she would not support a future possible waiver
that was part of a motion. She found that overly restrictive. Rather, the property

owner could consult with the trash provider to provide a flexible solution. Farr
offered to make recommendations instead. Kirk concurred.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk to recommend approval for a Zoning
Change from Office (OFC) to neighborhood Commercial (N-COM) on 1.19
acres; a PUD Concept Review on 1.19 acres; a PUD Review with waivers on 1.19
acres; and a Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres as represented in the staff report dated
May 22, 2023 and based on plans stamp dated May 20, 2023 with the further
recommendation for staff to study the orientation of the trash enclosure and the
height of the east building wall in relation to the highway. Motion carried 9-0.
C. KIWATCHI (2022-11)
Request for:
• Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.11 acres
• Preliminary Plan of four lots and three outlots on 2.11 acres
Craig Schmidt, resident of Eden Prairie, introduced Todd McLouth, project
engineer. Schmidt displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the application. The site
would be converted to four lots, one retained by Schmidt for his family. He
displayed arial photographs and explained the site plan. Neighbors to the north
would be sold 10-foot outlots and Outlot A would be deeded to the City, since it
bordered a wetland. The current house would be demolished and replaced, and
three lots would be sold. The proposal was consistent with the neighborhood. The
project would be completed by 2024.
Sivilay asked if Schmidt had estimates for remediation of the contamination noted
in the environmental study. Schmidt replied he had not, but would receiving
bidding estimates once ready. Taylor remarked this project would be an upgrade
to the community. Farr also commended the project, and received clarification the
northern neighbors had always expressed interest in acquiring more land, which
Schmidt had given them as a neighborly gesture. Pieper asked for and received
clarification this was for additions.
Mette noted to the east there was another property almost as large, and asked if
there was consideration of continuation with this neighboring lot. Schmidt replied
that land was deeded to the City of Eden Prairie as wetland.
Barnhart presented the staff report. All of the lots met minimum size and depth
requirements. The lot deeded to the City would have stormwater management.
Staff had received no comments from the public on this proposal. Payment would
cover the deficit of trees added to the development (92 instead of 109 trees). Staff
recommended approval.

Farr asked for and received clarification the sidewalk was on the east side of the
development (Duck Lake Road).
Mette asked if a new homeowner wishing to building a home would not need to
go through the Planning Commission again, and Barnhart replied that was true.
She asked how the City determined who installed the trees. Barnhart replied that
would either be completed before construction, or it would be written into the
development agreement.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 9-0.
Kirk commended the addition as a good use of the land. Weber agreed this would
be a marked improvement.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to recommend approval of the
Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.1 acres; and a Preliminary Plan of four
lots and three outlots on 2.11 acres as represented in the staff report May 22, 2023

in the area where the two parking lots will connect. Kinderberry Hill also expects Highland
Ventures to place a sign between the properties notifying traffic of a 5 MPH speed limit and
notifying traffic that children are present. Highland Ventures is very happy to comply with this
request.

Synopsis
The applicant is requesting approval to divide one parcel into 4 single family lots and 3 outlots. The 2.11-
acre property is located at 6285 Duck Lake Road. The land is generally flat with some trees and a small
piece of wetland along the east property line. The wetland is part of a larger wetland on City-owned
property to the east. The existing home on proposed Lot 3 will be demolished when site work begins. The
property is guided Low Density Residential, which allows a density of 0.1-5 units per acre. The proposed
density of 1.9 units per acre is consistent with the guiding. Current zoning is Rural and the applicant is
requesting a zone change to R1-9.5. The lots conform to the R1-9.5 zoning standards. The wetland,
wetland buffer and stormwater management will be encompassed in Outlot A. The Outlot will be deeded
to the City so the City can preserve the wetland and wetland buffer and maintain the stormwater
management facility. Outlots B and C may be transferred to the property owners to the north to add square
footage to their lots. The applicant will be installing a public sidewalk along the Duck Lake Road frontage
of the property.
Background
The Planning Commission voted 9 to 0 to recommend approval of the project at their meeting on May
22, 2023.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-61
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT IN SUPPORT OF PARK
DEDICATION FEES FOR KIWATCHI ADDITION
WHEREAS, City Code Chapter 12, Section 12.40 Subd. 1 requires an owner of land being
subdivided to dedicate to the public for public use as parks, playgrounds or public open space a
reasonable portion of the land up to 10% thereof; and,
WHEREAS, in lieu of dedicating land, City Code Chapter 12, Section 12.40 Subd. 2;
gives the City the option to require the developer to contribute an equivalent amount in cash
in lieu of all or a portion of the land which the City may require such owner to dedicate in
accordance with the schedule to be set by resolution of the Council;
WHEREAS, the Kiwatchi Addition project includes subdivision of property pursuant to
City Code Chapter 12 into 4 single-family lots and 3 outlots (the “Project”);
WHEREAS the payment of cash park fees in lieu of land dedication is appropriate given
the nature of the use on the property;
WHEREAS, the City’s current fee ordinance sets the cash park fee at $5,500 per
residential unit, which amount was calculated in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd.
2b(c);
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing at its June 13, 2023 meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, that the following findings are hereby adopted in support of
the imposition of a cash park fee in lieu of land dedication as a condition of subdivision approval
for the Kiwatchi Addition project:
1. The Project does not include available land that is suitable for parkland. The land areas
outside of the developable area include wetlands and will be protected by a Drainage and
Utility Easement that prohibits development.
2. The Project includes the construction of 4 single-family homes. Development and
occupancy of the units is expected to have an impact on the City’s parks and trail system.
3. The Project is connected to a public sidewalk system providing access to a public trail
along Highway 62 and to parks and open spaces, increasing the likelihood that residents of
the Project will use the City’s trails, parks, and open spaces.
4. The City has sidewalks and trails throughout the neighborhood. The City improves and
maintains the pedestrian and bicycle facilities for all residents to enjoy.
5. There is an essential nexus between requiring the cash park fees for the Project and the
City’s goal of providing a high-quality park system for all individuals who live or work in
the City, including residents of the Project.
6. The need for parkland created by the Project is roughly proportional to the cash park fee
amount required by the City’s fee ordinance. The cash park fees will be used for future
anticipated park acquisition and improvement projects in the City, pedestrian and bicycle
facility improvements, and other projects to improve City park and recreational facilities
that are likely to be used by residents of the Project.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie this 13th day of June, 2023.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Beth Novak-Krebs, Senior Planner
DATE: May 22, 2023
SUBJECT: Kiwatchi Development
LOCATION: 6285 Duck Lake Road
REQUEST: • Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.11 acres
• Preliminary Plat of 4 lots and 3 outlots on 2.11 acres
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval to
divide one parcel into 4 single family
lots and 3 outlots. The 2.11-acre property
is located at 6285 Duck Lake Road
located at the corner of Duck Lake Road
and Claycross Way.
Currently, there is a single-family home
in the southwest corner of the property.
The land is generally flat with some trees
and a small piece of wetland along the
east property line. There are residential
uses to north, south and west and a
wetland and residential to the east.
The proposed lots range in size from
10,980 square feet to 17,621 square feet.
Three of the lots will front on Duck Lake
Road while one of the lots will front on
Claycross Way.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The property is guided Low Density Residential in Aspire 2040, which allows a density of 0.1-5 units per acre. The
proposed density is 1.9 units per acre, which is consistent with the density ranges provided in the Comprehensive
Plan. The property is currently zoned Rural. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to the R1-9.5 Zoning District.
The zoning of the surrounding properties includes R1-9.5 to the west and R1-13.5 to the north, south and east.
The lot sizes and character of the proposed lots are similar to the surround lots. The proposed lots are consistent
with the character of the neighborhood.

PRELIMINARY PLAT
The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat that would
create 4 lots with one of the lots to include the current
single-family home. The applicant intends to demolish
the existing home in the summer of 2023. There is a
small wetland area along the east property line.
This small wetland area is connected to the larger
wetland on the City-owned property to the east. The
wetland buffer on the west side of the wetland extends
onto the subject property. Outlot A will encompass the
small wetland area, the buffer, and the stormwater
pond. The applicant is proposing to deed Outlot A to
the City as it is directly adjacent to City-owned
property.
The applicant is proposing to sell the land encompassed
by Outlots B and C to the adjacent property owners to
the north. Once the property has been transferred to the
adjacent property owners, they will need to go through
a process to combine their current lot and the new
Project
Site Project
Site
Current Zoning Proposed Zoning
Staff Report – Kiwatchi Subdivision

Outlot to create one larger lot for each of them.
TREE REPLACEMENT PLAN
The project requires 109 caliper inches for tree replacement. The caliper inches proposed for tree replacement is
92.5 caliper inches. The plan includes canopy and evergreen trees. There is a stand of trees at the back of proposed
Lot 1, and the applicant is proposing to preserve some of those trees. In order to comply with City Code, the
applicant has agreed to pay the fee in lieu of tree replacement for 16.5 caliper inches.
The applicant has provided a Phasing Plan for the tree replacement. The trees closest to the building pads will be
installed after the construction of each of the homes is complete. This ensures that those trees will not be damaged
during construction. The trees further behind the house pads will be installed once the grading of the site is
complete.
SIDEWALKS
There is an existing sidewalk on the west side of Duck Lake Road from Duck Lake Trail to Highway 62. There is
also a sidewalk on the east side of Duck Lake Road, but it only extends from Duck Lake Trail to Claycross Way.
The applicant will be constructing a sidewalk along its frontage of Duck Lake Road. There are no sidewalks along
Claycross Way, and no sidewalks are recommended.
PHASE I AND II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS (ESA)
A Phase I ESA was prepared for the property. Over the years, construction waste was dumped in the northwest
corner of the property and covered with gravel. The material in this area is considered undocumented fill and is
identified as a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) because of the potential for this area to contain
contaminants. There is a statement in the Phase I ESA that this area is an environmental concern. Given this
information, the City required the applicant to prepare a Phase II ESA.
A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was conducted in the vicinity of historic fill identified in the
Phase I ESA. One boring identified levels of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are above
acceptable levels for residential fill. The boring is also within an area where geotechnical corrections are
recommended for structural support. Thus, as recommended in the Phase II ESA, any material removed from
within a 20 foot radius of the boring with elevated PAH levels must be removed and disposed of in accordance
with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency protocols. This will be incorporated into the Development
Agreement.
DRAINAGE
Stormwater for the site is managed at one centralized infiltration basin. Runoff collected by catch basins within
the right of way within Duck Lake Road and Claycross Way is discharged to the basin for treatment. The basin
is within an outlot and will be owned and maintained by the City.
UTILITIES
There are existing water mains and sanitary sewer mains along both Duck Lake Road and Claycross Way. The
homes can be connected to the existing sewer and water system. There are sewer and water services stubbed in
front of the existing home on Duck Lake Road; however, the existing home is not connected to those stubs and
Staff Report – Kiwatchi Subdivision
Page 4
4
still has a well and septic system. There is an existing sanitary sewer stubbed in front of proposed Lot 2. Staff
recommends that the applicant utilize the existing sanitary sewer and water stubs to reduce the number of cuts
into the adjacent streets to provide those services.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND RESIDENT INPUT
On August 12, 2022, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting. The meeting was held via zoom from 6:00 pm to
7:00 pm. According to the applicant, 7 neighbors attended the neighborhood meeting. Based on a summary provided
by the applicant, there were questions about stormwater, the number of proposed lots, the plans for demolishing the
existing home, cost of the lots and timing on project completion.
SUSTAINABILITY
The applicant is proposing a number of sustainable features in this project as listed below:
• Use of energy efficient fixtures and appliances
• Installation of EV-ready circuits for future charging stations in each garage
• Preserving the wetland area on the east side of the property
• Eliminating an invasive species (Japanese Knotweed) to prevent it from spreading to other areas.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Eric Reinerson, Principal at SRA, displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. This was a unique reuse of the southwest quadrant of Highway 62
and Baker Road, with industrial uses to the west, Lifetime Fitness to the east, and
a townhouse association to the south. This 1990s building had been built as an
office, and was underutilized. The site had great potential so the parcel would be
repositioned as an assisted living facility. It was wooded and well screened from
the highway. There was a wetland on the east boundary and all setbacks were met.
A low-lying area to the northwest and the hills to the west and south contributed
to the natural, wooded atmosphere. Phase One would be the renovation and
remodeling of the existing structure for 31 assisted living residents. A commercial
kitchen, dining and group activity spaces, leisure activity spaces, and occupancy
rooms would be added. In the future the owner would wish to expand this
building. Reinerson displayed the addition with extended west and south of the
existing building. It would contribute an additional 81 units along with the
requisite parking. Reinerson displayed the elevations and materials, which were
similar to the original materials of the current building. He explained the grading
and drainage improvements as well as the access changes. The landscape plan met
all tree replacement requirements. Where the perimeter hills dipped allowed for a
pleasant view but the development would be scantly visible to neighbors, as well
as a low-noise, low-traffic development.
Farr asked if the shared access could handle increased traffic during holidays, and
suggested a parking agreement with the 6200 building to accommodate this.
Reinerson agreed to suggest this to the property owner. Farr asked if the receiving
dock was for maintenance purposes and Reinerson replied it was for kitchen
deliveries, whereas residents would be brought to the main entrance.
Mette asked if the residents would share bathrooms. Reinerson replied they did,
but did not have to go through a public corridor to access it. The residents would
all have private suites with a shared bathroom.
Barnhart presented the staff report. Four waivers were being requested among the
five actions. Waiver from the covered parking requirement was supported for this
development, since residents don’t drive and most traffic would come from
relatives and visitors. The barrel roof was added at staff’s suggestion to mimic the
original design, requiring the height waiver, and the parking island at the
southwest corner of the building would be partly paved to accommodate a
sidewalk and ADA ramp. The project met the landscaping requirements with tree
replacement as part of Phase Two. Most of the vegetation along the south side
would be kept to provide screening. A neighborhood meeting held in March and
other outreach yielded no comments. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked what zoning allowed such density, and Barnhart replied there were
none; TOD and Mixed Use allowed for higher density, with 17.04 being the
highest. Mette replied she was surprised there was not a higher maximum density
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
May 22, 2023
Page 3
requirement for a multifamily zoning district. She asked for and received
confirmation the development entitlement extended into perpetuity. Barnhart
explained any rules changes could trigger a PUD amendment. Mette asked if a
previous similar developments required covered parking. Barnhart replied he did
not believe there had been a formal waiver for covered parking but the plan was
approved without covered parking. Mette noted there were different levels of
assisted living, and asked if memory care would depart from other requirements
of other kinds of assisted living. Barnhart replied the City was drafting
requirements for the different levels of assistance (independent living, assisted
living, memory care, et cetera). Kirk stated these three categories were familiar to
him, and in other developments these could be mixed, complicating the
requirements. He stated he supported the waivers. Mette replied this dedicated
property was easier to address, but other developments could have different care
levels that changed over time.
Mette asked what the “elderly waiver” affordability category was. Barnhart
replied it related to how this project was funded, how the tenant accessed the
property, the tenant’s incomes, and what proportion of their rent was aided by the
services they received. He offered to provide additional information to the City
Council upon its review of this project.
Farr asked if the landscaping required the removal of significant or heritage trees.
Bourne replied perhaps one heritage tree would be removed in Phase One, and the
replacement requirement was being met for Phase Two (36 trees, nonheritage).
Farr asked for and received clarification the size of the tree was determined at the
time of the approval of the application. Farr asked why screening was required
between residential districts. Barnhart replied it was due to the density of the
neighboring developments to the south. Farr asked if the moving van would block
the circular fire lane. Barnhart replied this concern had not been raised during
project review. The existing parking lot would be retained during Phase One and
changed in Phase Two. He offered to alert the Fire Chief. Farr stated the two-story
addition was disproportionate with the existing four-story building. Also, the
materials did not match since the addition had a cornice but the original building
did not. He suggested an addition more in keeping with the original design.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 9-0.
Mette stated the architecture was her main concern, but was not able to get
specific as to why this was not what she expected. She supported the waivers.
Kirk stated his support for the project. He added he was surprised Eden Prairie
has a lot of assisted living but there was high demand. This was a good location,
yet the architecture was a difficult question, as Farr and Mette had stated. In
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
May 22, 2023
Page 4
general the rules produced good results and he proposed going ahead with this
development despite its incongruities.
Grote stated the residents would be looking out at a wonderful view, which
overruled the concerns about the exterior architecture. Farr agreed, and stated he
trusted staff to work with the applicant on a development that had so many good
points in addition to the building design.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Sherwood to recommend approval of the
Guide Plan Change from Office to Medium High Density Residential on 3.79
acres; a PUD Concept Plan Review on 3.79 acres; a PUD District Review with
waivers on 3.79 acres; a Zoning Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 3.79 acres;
and a Site Plan Review on 3.79 acres, as represented in the staff report dated May
22, 2023 and the plans stamp dated April 28, 2023. Motion carried 9-0.
B. BUSH LAKE PET HOSPITAL (2023-04)
Request for:
• Zoning Change from Office (OFC) to neighborhood Commercial (N-
COM) on 1.19 acres
• PUD Concept Review on 1.19 acres
• PUD Review with waivers on 1.19 acres
• Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres
Michael Kohne of Highland Ventures, LTD, detailed the application. The
proposed development was a 5,074 square foot, single-story building, which
would divide 3,958 square feet for the hospital and 1,015 square feet for other
commercial space. This was a vet relocation from Bloomington. There would be
no overnight boarding of pets with the exception of surgical patients.
The zoning was currently office, and the proposed change was to PUD guided
commercial. The site had an unusual lot shape bounded by Hennepin Town Road
and Highway 169 which resulted in design challenges that required waivers. The
landscape material, water and sewer met requirements. There were a number of
sustainable elements, including one conduit with a pole wire for EV charging in
the parking lot.
The anticipated start date was July 1, 2023 with a projected completion date of
January 1, 2024.
There was no shoreline and the site did not abut any water, so the flood plain
Ordinance did not apply. Kohne displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the
stormwater management plan with the stormwater retention system beneath the
parking lot.

Dr. Douglas Gates of Bush Lake gave a brief history and overview of the pet
hospital. Kohne displayed some renderings showing the elevation and materials.
Residents attending the neighborhood meeting had concerns about traffic but were
in general supportive of the project.
Sivilay asked for and received confirmation there was space between this site with
its fence and the access to the Kinderbury Hill PUD development. There would be
some vegetative screening with trees.
Mette noted the retail parking was 5 spaces per 1,000 and asked if the remaining
vacant space would be sufficient for the neighboring tenant. She asked what kind
of tenant the applicant was considering. Kohne did not have a specific answer but
stated the intent was to avoid filling the retail space with a high-traffic tenant (a
coffee shop, et cetera), but perhaps with light retail use. Mette suggested the main
landscaping island in front of hospital entrance have plantings that would survive
dogs’ uses of that area. Kohne replied the rear left corner had a 10- by 15-foot
fenced in area for animals to use the restroom while on leash.
Farr suggested the EV ready accommodation have panel boards and transformers
of sufficient size that could handle the additional load. He also suggested the trash
enclosure be rotated 90 degrees so that the gate would open to the right (south)
and keep the doors out of public sight. He noted an opportunity for signage on the
site alongside the northbound Highway 169 frontage road and stated the tenant
might request that, so the parapet should be kept at a consistent height to facilitate
this and screen the mechanical units.
Taylor stated he had met with staff at the neighboring daycare center who were
concerned about sharing the parking lot. Kohne replied there was the intention to
include speed bumps but this plan was not that granular.
Barnhart presented the staff report. The site was currently vacant and the
applicant was seeking four actions: a zoning change from Office to Neighborhood
Commercial; a PUD Concept Review; a PUD Development District Review with
waivers; and a Site Plan Review. The zoning change to Neighborhood
Commercial required a waiver due to the existing lot size and depth, and this
change was the best fit for the neighborhood and was supported by staff. Nothing
about the lot was changing. The setback and materials requirement were met and
exceeded in this application. The access was through a shared parking easement
and staff thought this connection was effective in reducing trips on Hennepin
Town Road. Four parking spaces would be provided for the neighboring childcare
service providing the connection. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked if the connection had previously gone through the PUD process and
wondered why it was not going through this process now. Barnhart stated this site

had intended to be an office, but since it had never gone through the PUD process
to be rezoned as office, it was not required for this application.
Alicia Reeves, resident at 9673 Belmont Lane, stated she was speaking on behalf
of a group that fully supported the hospital development but was concerned about
the traffic on Hennepin Town Road. She requested the speed limit be reduced
from 45 miles per hour on the approach to the site and 40 miles per hour around
the corner along it. She also wished to hear the details about the connection with
the childcare center, and suggested speed bumps and “child at play” signs.
Jerry Maher, resident at 9778 Belmont Lane, stated at the exit on Belmont Lane
the next car in sight would be 112 feet to the north (three seconds at 45 miles an
hour), placing the onus upon the driver leaving Belmont Lane to change lanes or
stop in time due to oncoming traffic. That was the reason for the request to lower
the speed limit; however, increasing the sightline from Belmont Lane to Linden
by cutting foliage would restore the street to how it looked 20 years ago at the
formation of the association which owned the land on the west side of Belmont
Lane. This was a protected wetland, so there were limitations on what could be
cut. Concerned neighbors were meeting with the Traffic Engineer to brainstorm
ideas. If the sightline could not be increased, the speed limit needed to be reduced
and/or flashing signs need to be installed.
MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 9-0.
Kirk noted this was a difficult property for any design and found the plan to be a
good use of it. Traffic movement inside and outside of the property were the main
issues. Rue stated there were a few roads in Eden Prairie that were being reviewed
for speed limits, and Hennepin Town Road was one of them. A traffic study
would be required to reduce the speed limit. Enforcement was always an issue,
and expansion of the sightlines was a viable option. Kirk noted there were already
meetings with the Traffic Engineer on this issue.
Mette agreed this was an important issue and wished the City Council to hear
these concerns. Overall she found this site appropriate for the zoning change to
Neighborhood Commercial and found the internal connection a good solution.
Farr also expressed support for the development and hoped the issue of traffic on
Hennepin Town Road would be resolved in a broader discussion. He stated he
could make a motion that included the condition of rotating the trash enclosure 90
degrees and raise the parapet wall on the east elevation to accommodate signage.
Barnhart replied the section of the building over 20 feet tall would be considered a
second floor, which would require the applicant to come back and process a
waiver at that time. Mette stated she would not support a future possible waiver
that was part of a motion. She found that overly restrictive. Rather, the property

owner could consult with the trash provider to provide a flexible solution. Farr
offered to make recommendations instead. Kirk concurred.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk to recommend approval for a Zoning
Change from Office (OFC) to neighborhood Commercial (N-COM) on 1.19
acres; a PUD Concept Review on 1.19 acres; a PUD Review with waivers on 1.19
acres; and a Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres as represented in the staff report dated
May 22, 2023 and based on plans stamp dated May 20, 2023 with the further
recommendation for staff to study the orientation of the trash enclosure and the
height of the east building wall in relation to the highway. Motion carried 9-0.
C. KIWATCHI (2022-11)
Request for:
• Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.11 acres
• Preliminary Plan of four lots and three outlots on 2.11 acres
Craig Schmidt, resident of Eden Prairie, introduced Todd McLouth, project
engineer. Schmidt displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the application. The site
would be converted to four lots, one retained by Schmidt for his family. He
displayed arial photographs and explained the site plan. Neighbors to the north
would be sold 10-foot outlots and Outlot A would be deeded to the City, since it
bordered a wetland. The current house would be demolished and replaced, and
three lots would be sold. The proposal was consistent with the neighborhood. The
project would be completed by 2024.
Sivilay asked if Schmidt had estimates for remediation of the contamination noted
in the environmental study. Schmidt replied he had not, but would receiving
bidding estimates once ready. Taylor remarked this project would be an upgrade
to the community. Farr also commended the project, and received clarification the
northern neighbors had always expressed interest in acquiring more land, which
Schmidt had given them as a neighborly gesture. Pieper asked for and received
clarification this was for additions.
Mette noted to the east there was another property almost as large, and asked if
there was consideration of continuation with this neighboring lot. Schmidt replied
that land was deeded to the City of Eden Prairie as wetland.
Barnhart presented the staff report. All of the lots met minimum size and depth
requirements. The lot deeded to the City would have stormwater management.
Staff had received no comments from the public on this proposal. Payment would
cover the deficit of trees added to the development (92 instead of 109 trees). Staff
recommended approval.

Farr asked for and received clarification the sidewalk was on the east side of the
development (Duck Lake Road).
Mette asked if a new homeowner wishing to building a home would not need to
go through the Planning Commission again, and Barnhart replied that was true.
She asked how the City determined who installed the trees. Barnhart replied that
would either be completed before construction, or it would be written into the
development agreement.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 9-0.
Kirk commended the addition as a good use of the land. Weber agreed this would
be a marked improvement.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to recommend approval of the
Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.1 acres; and a Preliminary Plan of four
lots and three outlots on 2.11 acres as represented in the staff report May 22, 2023
and on the plans stamp dated May 5, 2023. Motion carried 9-0.

Synopsis
The applicant is requesting approval to construct an assisted living facility at 6216 Baker Road. The
3.79-acre property is located south of Highway 62 and west of Baker Road. The project improvements
are proposed in two phases. Phase I includes a renovation of the existing 16,309 square foot office
building into 24 assisted living units with a total of 31 beds. The majority of the improvements in this
phase will be interior to the building, though there are minor exterior improvements. Phase II is
proposed to include a 52,938 square foot 4-story addition to the building, which would add 81 units with
a total of 81 beds. At full build out, the facility will have a total of 105 units and 112 beds. Phase II
would include significant site work. Ultimately, the project will provide assisted living and treatment for
patients suffering from dementia. The property is guided Office in the Comprehensive Plan. The
applicant is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reguide the property to
Medium High Density Residential, which allows a density of 14 to 40 units per acre. At full build out of
Phase I and II, the density of the project will be 27.7 units per acre. The property is zoned Office and
the applicant is requesting a zone change to RM-2.5.
Background
At its May 22, 2023 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed the building architecture and building
materials. Some of the comments included the possibility of removing the cornice and matching the
roofline of the existing building, extending the bump outs to the ground and including more of the red
brick.
In an effort to address the comments from the Planning Commission, the applicant made several
revisions to the building architecture and materials as summarized below:
• Extended the darker brick up to the third floor and added an accent line, which continues the
established roofline and pattern of the existing building. Changed the second brick from a tan
color to a lighter reddish color.
• Removed the barrel roof feature and included a stepped cornice at the bump outs.

• Created a layered bump out with a color change to add visual interest.
The rendering below depicts the changes made subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting. Staff
recommends adding the barrel roof feature back into the building architecture. This feature helps
visually tie the existing building and the addition together.
Commissioners also asked about the Elderly Waiver program, as that program supports the City’s
Inclusionary Housing efforts for this project. The Elderly Waiver is a state Department of Human
Services (DHS) program that is similar to the Housing Choice Voucher / Section 8 program for older
residents who need a level of service comparable to a nursing home but wish (and income qualify) to use
this waiver to live elsewhere in the community. Residents must qualify for Medical Assistance to
receive the waiver.
The City’s Inclusionary Ordinance requires that a certain percentage of units created be affordable at a
given AMI level (generally, the developer’s choice of 5% of units affordable to households at or below
30% of AMI, 10% at or below 50%, or 15% at or below 60% AMI). Because the Elderly Waiver
program uses a percentage of the federal poverty limit rather than AMI levels, staff has calculated that
the income limit for Elderly Waiver holders satisfies the 50% AMI income threshold, thereby requiring
that at least 10% of residents’ incomes qualify for the program. The applicant will accept a much higher
level than 10% elderly waivers, meaning they are serving a higher percentage of low-income seniors
than is required by the ordinance.
The Planning Commission voted 9 to 0 to recommend approval of the project at its May 22, 2023
meeting.
For the Council’s reference, the rendering below depicts the building architecture and materials
presented to the Planning Commission.
There is a residential neighborhood south of the property. The residential area is screened from the
proposed project by steep topography and existing vegetation. Of the 400-foot long property line, there
is an approximately 100 foot long section west of the retaining wall where the topography flattens and
has more gaps in the vegetation. This, along with less vegetation, opens up the view of the subject
property. At the request of staff, the applicant has added plantings along this area to expand the
screening.

FROM: Beth Novak-Krebs
DATE: May 22, 2023
SUBJECT: Baker Road Assisted Living
LOCATION: 6216 Baker Road
REQUEST:
• Guide Plan Change from Office to Medium High Density Residential on 3.79 acres
• PUD Concept Plan Review on 3.79 acres
• PUD District Review with waivers on 3.79 acre
• Zoning Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 3.79 acres
• Site Plan Review on 3.79 acres
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval to
construct an assisted living facility at
6216 Baker Road. The 3.79-acre
property is located south of Highway
62 and west of Baker Road. There are
industrial uses to the west, residential
uses to the south, an office building to
the east and Highway 62 to the north.
There is a 16,309 square foot 2-story
office building on the site. The project
improvements are proposed in two
phases. The first phase of the project
includes a renovation of the existing
office building into 24 assisted living
units with a total of 31 beds. The
majority of the improvements in this
phase will be interior to the building,
though there are minor exterior
improvements. The second phase of
the project is proposed to include a 52,938 square foot 4-story addition to the building, which would add 81
units with a total of 81 beds. At full build out, the facility will have a total of 105 units and 112 beds. Phase II
would include significant site work.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
The property is currently guided Office in Aspire 2040. The proposal requires an amendment of the
Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting to reguide the property to Medium High Density
Residential, which allows a density of 14 to 40 units per acre. When both phases are completed, the density
would be 27.7 units per acre.
Staff Report – Baker Road Assisted Living
Page 2

Phase II Site Plan
The property is currently zoned Office. The applicant is requesting a rezone to RM-2.5. Provided the
reguiding is approved by the Metropolitan
Council, the zoning will be consistent with the
Medium High Density Residential guiding of the
property. The assisted living facility is permitted
in the RM-2.5 zoning district.
SITE PLAN
Phase I of the proposed project utilizes the
existing building, which is located on the easterly
½ of the site. Access to the site and the existing
parking lot which is south of the building will
remain the same. The applicant is proposing to
modify the main entrance into the building by
repaving the sidewalk and adding a canopy over
the sidewalk. A new patio will be located behind
the building, a new monument sign will be
located near the drive lane onto the property and
the existing parking lot will be repaved and
restriped. Phase I is expected to begin in quarter
3 of 2023.
Phase II of the project involves the construction
of a 52,938 square foot addition to the west
side of the existing building. The parking
would be reconfigured with a circular drive and
parking near the main entrance to the Phase I
building with additional parking on the west
side of the new addition. The improvements
will also include a second patio in the back of
the building with a sidewalk system around the
south, west, and north sides of the building, a
new drop off area, reconfiguring the entire
parking area, and adding retaining walls.
Ultimately, the project will provide assisted
living and treatment for patients suffering from
dementia. The construction schedule of Phase
II has not yet been determined.
ACCESS
Access to the site comes from Baker Road and

across the office property to the east. The two office buildings were planned together in 1996 with shared
access drive from Baker Road. The office building on the east side will remain. Anyone driving to the assisted
living facility will enter from Baker Road, cross the office property on the east and enter the subject property.
There is a shared access agreement in place. Since the owner of this property and the property to the east also
share sanitary sewer and water lines, staff recommends that both owners enter into a cross access easement,
utility and maintenance agreement. This agreement can then cover both access and utilities and replace the
current access only easement.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a more
creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the types of environment
available to people and distribution of overall density of population and intensity of land use where desirable
and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design. The applicant is
requesting the following waivers:
• Maximum Gross Density- City Code allows a maximum density of 17.4 units per acre in the
RM-2.5 zoning district. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a density of 27.7 units per
acre. At the completion of Phase II, there will be a total of 105 units on the property. The
proposed density is consistent with the Medium High Density Residential guiding.
• Covered Parking – City Code requires 1 parking stall for every 4 beds plus 1 stall for each
employee on the largest work shift with ½ of the required parking stalls to be enclosed. Phase I of
the project requires 13 parking stalls. Phase I will utilize the existing parking lot with 81 stalls.
Phase I and II together requires 38 parking stalls. The Plan includes 38 parking stalls. The Phase I
and II plans comply with the parking requirements except for the enclosed parking. The proposed
project does not include any enclosed parking for Phase I or II. The applicant is requesting a
waiver from this standard. In these types of facilities, the residents don’t drive a car. The operator
of the facility provides on-call mobility services for transportation. The parking for staff, visitors,
vendors, and personnel is short term and there is no need for covered parking.
• Building Height – City Code allows a maximum building height in the RM-2.5 zoning district of
45 feet. The proposed 4-story addition is 47’- 4 ¼”. The applicant is proposing bump out features
on the addition that have a curved parapet to mimic the barrel roofs on the existing building. This
feature increases the proposed building height by that 2’- 4 ¼”. The waiver would allow the taller
parapet.
• Parking Lot Island Size – City Code requires parking lot islands to be a minimum of 160 square
feet. The landscaped portion of the island at the south end of the first parking row on the west side
of the addition is only 53 square feet. The waiver allows the sidewalk and pedestrian ramp to serve
those who park in the parking lot on the west side of the building.
Staff Report – Baker Road Assisted Living

BUILDING ARCITECTURE AND MATERIALS
The applicant is utilizing the existing building for Phase I. The building material is brick and glass with a
minimal amount of metal. The building complies with the building material requirements.
The Phase II building addition blends with the existing building. The architectural plans incorporate
similar building material as the existing building, façade articulation to visually reduce the perceived
height of the addition, similar window repetition as the existing building, a curved form at the top of the
bump outs to mimic the barrel roof form and incorporate similar site features around the entire site to
create a unified project.
The Phase II building addition complies with City Code. The building materials include brick, glass and
fiber cement panels and each façade complies with the building material requirements. The fiber cement
panels are allowed as a Class I material in the RM-2.5 zoning district, but it should not be the primary
building material. Brick and glass are the primary building materials on the building addition.
Staff Report – Baker Road Assisted Living
Page 5

City Code requires buildings that are 4 stories or taller to be designed so that the first two floors are
visually distinct from the upper floors. The color change and the use of a soldier course of brick sets the
first two stories apart from the rest of the building. The dark red brick at the bottom and the darker
cornice along the top of the addition helps create a strong visual bottom, middle, and top to the building.
The cornice color is very similar in tone with the upper brick and fiber cement. Staff recommends using a
darker tone or a different color for the cornice accent.
The south façade closest to the residential uses to the south includes a variety of building materials and
color changes, façade articulation and windows. This provides visual variety and lowers the perceived
height of the building.
TREE REPLACEMENT AND LANDSCAPING
The Phase I improvements will require the loss of one canopy tree near the main entrance to the building. The
applicant is proposing to replace the canopy tree with 3 Black Hills Spruce trees on the east side of the new
sidewalk to the main entrance to the building. These 3 trees must be added during Phase I.
The Phase II building addition requires 165 caliper inches of landscaping. The plan includes 165 caliper
inches of landscaping. In addition to trees, the landscaping includes many shrubs, ornamentals grasses and
flowering perennials to create a complete landscape treatment.
The Phase II improvements will require the loss of more trees than Phase I because the area to the west of the
existing building is heavily wooded. Phase II requires 48 caliper inches of tree replacement. The plan
includes 73 caliper inches of tree replacement and complies with the requirements.
Given the grade changes between the industrial property to the west and the subject property and the wooded
nature of the slopes, the industrial uses are not likely to see much of the proposed development. Although
there is existing vegetation between the residential uses to the south and the subject property, the project will
be visible because the building addition comes much closer to the south property line than the existing
building and it is 4 stories tall. The applicant is proposing additional landscape screening along the south
property line where there are gaps in the existing vegetation. The plan includes a mix of evergreen trees,
deciduous trees and shrubs. Most of the existing vegetation along the south and west property lines will be
retained.
TRAFFIC
The applicant provided the City with a traffic memorandum. The consultant’s review of trip generation
numbers indicates that the Phase I assisted living facility and Phase I and II build-out with assisted living and
dementia care will generate fewer peak hour vehicle trips than the existing office use. Upon the completion of
Phase I and II build out, the use (assisted living and memory care) will generate 56 more daily trips than the
office use.

9 20 250
Based on the trip generation information and their analysis, the consultant concluded that the traffic
generated by the proposed use will not adversely impact the operation of the site access or the roadway
network serving the proposed development.
USABLE OPEN SPACE
City Code requires 150 square feet of usable open space per unit. The plan as proposed exceeds the
requirement for Phase I and for the ultimate build out of Phase I and II. For Phase I, the plan requires
3,600 and provides 5,850 square feet of usable open space or 244 square feet per unit. The usable open
spaces are programmed consistent with the intended users of the space. This includes the entry plaza, the
deck, a new patio and sidewalk plus indoor gathering spaces such as activity areas, the dining room, and
lobby area. Phase I and II requires 15,750 square feet of usable open space. The plan provides 20,011
square feet of usable open space or 190 square feet per unit. This includes the outdoor spaces provided in
Phase I plus a second patio, a rooftop deck, and a sidewalk around the south and west sides of the
building. The indoor gathering spaces include additional activity areas and lobby area.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater is managed through an underground infiltration BMP. The BMP, which consists of
underground chambers that will retain stormwater runoff for treatment, will be installed with Phase II of
construction. The stormwater management system will be privately maintained.
The City’s NPDES Phase II stormwater permit requires a legal mechanism between the City and the
owners of structural stormwater best management practices (BMPs) that are not owned or operated by the
City. The legal agreement must allow the City to inspect, maintain and assess costs for any maintenance
(as necessary) if the BMPs are not functioning properly. Because this development proposes BMPs that
will not be owned or operated by the City, the City requires that an “Inspection and Maintenance
Agreement for Private Stormwater Facilities” be executed as part of the development agreement. This
agreement includes the required provisions of the stormwater permit, identifies any privately owned and
operated BMPs and areas requiring street sweeping, as well as provide inspection and maintenance
checklists for private stormwater BMPs.
AFFORDABILITY
The applicant will provide more than 15% of the affordable dwelling units in Phase I and II to households at
Staff Report – Baker Road Assisted Living

or below 60% AMI.
Staff has had preliminary discussions with developer about its high rate of clients using the Elderly Waiver
and about counting the acceptance of Elderly Waivers toward the city's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. The
ordinance requires, as one developer option, having at least 10% of units affordable to households earning
50% or less of the Area Median Income. As the elderly waiver program uses a percent of poverty income
threshold rather than an AMI, staff will work with developer to ensure that the poverty threshold is lower than
50% of AMI. Staff will also work with developer to ensure that an appropriate rent level is set, most likely
60% of AMI, to suit the tenant contributions which include both rent and certain services. These will be
established in more detail in the development agreement.
LIGHTING
Phase I of the project will utilize the existing parking lot lighting. The existing lighting complies with the
lighting requirements. Phase II includes new parking lot lighting and wall packs on the buildings. The Phase II
lighting plan complies with City Code.
NATURAL FEATURES
There is a wetland on the far east edge of the property. The wetland has been delineated and the applicant is
providing the wetland buffer as required by the Watershed District.
STEEP SLOPES
The property has rolling terrain with significant grade changes on the west ½ of the site. The slopes meet the
definition of steep slopes in City Code. The Phase II development will impact some of these steep slope
areas. Development in these areas requires a permit from the City Council. Approval of the project by the
City Council will constitute approval of a Steep Slope Permit.
PARKING LOT ISLAND REQUIREMENTS
Phase I of the project will utilize the existing parking lot. The parking lot is compliant with respect to the
percentage of the parking lot in islands, but it does not comply with the number of parking lot islands
required. City Code requires 1 parking lot island every 20 parking stalls. For Phase I, this would result in the
addition of 2 parking lot islands. Since the parking lot will be removed when Phase II is started, installing the
islands now is not practical. Instead, staff recommends the City collect and hold a security for the installation
of the islands should Phase II not happen. This will be addressed in the Development Agreement.
SIGNS
The applicant is proposing an on-premise monument sign near the entrance to the parking lot along the shared
drive on the project site. The sign conforms to City Code, but the sign does need approval of a separate
permit.
There is an existing monument sign at the shared entrance to both properties from Baker Road. The sign
includes tenant names for both 6200 and 6216 Baker Road. The applicant is proposing to update the sign with
the name of the assisted living facility. This sign may not be expanded in size with that information included.

UTILITIES
There are private sanitary sewer and water lines that extend into the site from Baker Road and serve the
existing office building. Phase I will utilize the existing services. The Phase II improvements will include a
relocation of these private lines to accommodate the underground stormwater management chambers and
serve the Phase I building and the new addition.
SUSTAINABILITY
The applicant is proposing a number of sustainable features as listed below:
Phase I
Adaptive reuse of an office building structure
Specify energy efficient WaterSense fixtures
Specify low VOC paints, adhesives, sealants, and flooring
Phase II
Utilize Xcel Energy’s Design Assistance Program to identify energy and cost savings strategies
Include electric vehicle charging for two vehicles (5%) with infrastructure provided for an additional 11
vehicles (30%)
Specify energy efficient WaterSense fixtures
Specify low VOC paints, adhesives, sealants, and flooring
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the existing
office building. The meeting was attended by the development team including the Midwest Residential applicant
and their operations director, building owner, principal architect, project management architect.
Site plans were displayed for both Phase I and Phase II developments, along with building elevations and exterior
renderings.
Two neighbors from the townhome properties to the south attended the open house, including a representative of
the homeowner’s association and a longtime resident who has recently reti red from healthcare services.
Discussion items included the expected resident-to-staff ratio, operations in transitioning from the Owner’s current
residential-based care model to a centralized community model, expected amount of site activity once the
development is stabilized, and aspects of the site in general regarding lot coverage and wildlife known to roam the
site.

5. The following waivers have been granted through the PUD District Review for the project as indicated
in the plans stamp dated April 28, 2023.
A. Maximum Gross Density- City Code allows a maximum density of 17.4 units per acre in the
RM-2.5 zoning district. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a density of 27.7 units
per acre. At the completion of Phase II, there will be a total of 105 units on the property. The
proposed density is consistent with the Medium High Density Residential guiding.
B. Covered Parking – City Code requires 1 parking stall for every 4 beds plus 1 stall for each
employee on the largest work shift with ½ of the required parking stalls to be enclosed. Phase
I of the project will include 25 parking stalls on the site but cannot accommodate covered
parking on the site. Phase I and II together requires 38 parking stalls. The plan complies with
the parking requirements except for the enclosed parking. The proposed project does not
include any enclosed parking for Phase I or II. The applicant is requesting a waiver from this
standard. In these types of facilities, the residents don’t drive a car. The operator of the facility
provides on-call mobility services for transportation. The parking for staff, visitors, vendors,
and personnel is short term and there is no need for covered parking.
C. Building Height – City Code allows a maximum building height in the RM-2.5 zoning district
of 45 feet. The proposed 4-story addition is 47’- 4 ¼”. The applicant is proposing bump out
features on the addition that have a curved parapet to mimic the barrel roofs on the existing
building. This feature increases the building height by 2’- 4 ¼”. The waiver would allow a
taller parapet.
D. Parking Lot Island Size – City Code requires parking lot islands to be a minimum of 160
square feet. The landscaped portion of the island at the south end of the first parking row on
the west side of the addition is only 53 square feet. The waiver allows the sidewalk and
pedestrian ramp to serve those who park in the parking lot on the west side of the building.

Eric Reinerson, Principal at SRA, displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. This was a unique reuse of the southwest quadrant of Highway 62
and Baker Road, with industrial uses to the west, Lifetime Fitness to the east, and
a townhouse association to the south. This 1990s building had been built as an
office, and was underutilized. The site had great potential so the parcel would be
repositioned as an assisted living facility. It was wooded and well screened from
the highway. There was a wetland on the east boundary and all setbacks were met.
A low-lying area to the northwest and the hills to the west and south contributed
to the natural, wooded atmosphere. Phase One would be the renovation and
remodeling of the existing structure for 31 assisted living residents. A commercial
kitchen, dining and group activity spaces, leisure activity spaces, and occupancy
rooms would be added. In the future the owner would wish to expand this
building. Reinerson displayed the addition with extended west and south of the
existing building. It would contribute an additional 81 units along with the
requisite parking. Reinerson displayed the elevations and materials, which were
similar to the original materials of the current building. He explained the grading
and drainage improvements as well as the access changes. The landscape plan met
all tree replacement requirements. Where the perimeter hills dipped allowed for a
pleasant view but the development would be scantly visible to neighbors, as well
as a low-noise, low-traffic development.
Farr asked if the shared access could handle increased traffic during holidays, and
suggested a parking agreement with the 6200 building to accommodate this.
Reinerson agreed to suggest this to the property owner. Farr asked if the receiving
dock was for maintenance purposes and Reinerson replied it was for kitchen
deliveries, whereas residents would be brought to the main entrance.
Mette asked if the residents would share bathrooms. Reinerson replied they did,
but did not have to go through a public corridor to access it. The residents would
all have private suites with a shared bathroom.
Barnhart presented the staff report. Four waivers were being requested among the
five actions. Waiver from the covered parking requirement was supported for this
development, since residents don’t drive and most traffic would come from
relatives and visitors. The barrel roof was added at staff’s suggestion to mimic the
original design, requiring the height waiver, and the parking island at the
southwest corner of the building would be partly paved to accommodate a
sidewalk and ADA ramp. The project met the landscaping requirements with tree
replacement as part of Phase Two. Most of the vegetation along the south side
would be kept to provide screening. A neighborhood meeting held in March and
other outreach yielded no comments. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked what zoning allowed such density, and Barnhart replied there were
none; TOD and Mixed Use allowed for higher density, with 17.04 being the
highest. Mette replied she was surprised there was not a higher maximum density

requirement for a multifamily zoning district. She asked for and received
confirmation the development entitlement extended into perpetuity. Barnhart
explained any rules changes could trigger a PUD amendment. Mette asked if a
previous similar developments required covered parking. Barnhart replied he did
not believe there had been a formal waiver for covered parking but the plan was
approved without covered parking. Mette noted there were different levels of
assisted living, and asked if memory care would depart from other requirements
of other kinds of assisted living. Barnhart replied the City was drafting
requirements for the different levels of assistance (independent living, assisted
living, memory care, et cetera). Kirk stated these three categories were familiar to
him, and in other developments these could be mixed, complicating the
requirements. He stated he supported the waivers. Mette replied this dedicated
property was easier to address, but other developments could have different care
levels that changed over time.
Mette asked what the “elderly waiver” affordability category was. Barnhart
replied it related to how this project was funded, how the tenant accessed the
property, the tenant’s incomes, and what proportion of their rent was aided by the
services they received. He offered to provide additional information to the City
Council upon its review of this project.
Farr asked if the landscaping required the removal of significant or heritage trees.
Bourne replied perhaps one heritage tree would be removed in Phase One, and the
replacement requirement was being met for Phase Two (36 trees, nonheritage).
Farr asked for and received clarification the size of the tree was determined at the
time of the approval of the application. Farr asked why screening was required
between residential districts. Barnhart replied it was due to the density of the
neighboring developments to the south. Farr asked if the moving van would block
the circular fire lane. Barnhart replied this concern had not been raised during
project review. The existing parking lot would be retained during Phase One and
changed in Phase Two. He offered to alert the Fire Chief. Farr stated the two-story
addition was disproportionate with the existing four-story building. Also, the
materials did not match since the addition had a cornice but the original building
did not. He suggested an addition more in keeping with the original design.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 9-0.
Mette stated the architecture was her main concern, but was not able to get
specific as to why this was not what she expected. She supported the waivers.
Kirk stated his support for the project. He added he was surprised Eden Prairie
has a lot of assisted living but there was high demand. This was a good location,
yet the architecture was a difficult question, as Farr and Mette had stated. In

general the rules produced good results and he proposed going ahead with this
development despite its incongruities.
Grote stated the residents would be looking out at a wonderful view, which
overruled the concerns about the exterior architecture. Farr agreed, and stated he
trusted staff to work with the applicant on a development that had so many good
points in addition to the building design.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Sherwood to recommend approval of the
Guide Plan Change from Office to Medium High Density Residential on 3.79
acres; a PUD Concept Plan Review on 3.79 acres; a PUD District Review with
waivers on 3.79 acres; a Zoning Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 3.79 acres;
and a Site Plan Review on 3.79 acres, as represented in the staff report dated May
22, 2023 and the plans stamp dated April 28, 2023. Motion carried 9-0.
B. BUSH LAKE PET HOSPITAL (2023-04)
Request for:
• Zoning Change from Office (OFC) to neighborhood Commercial (N-
COM) on 1.19 acres
• PUD Concept Review on 1.19 acres
• PUD Review with waivers on 1.19 acres
• Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres
Michael Kohne of Highland Ventures, LTD, detailed the application. The
proposed development was a 5,074 square foot, single-story building, which
would divide 3,958 square feet for the hospital and 1,015 square feet for other
commercial space. This was a vet relocation from Bloomington. There would be
no overnight boarding of pets with the exception of surgical patients.
The zoning was currently office, and the proposed change was to PUD guided
commercial. The site had an unusual lot shape bounded by Hennepin Town Road
and Highway 169 which resulted in design challenges that required waivers. The
landscape material, water and sewer met requirements. There were a number of
sustainable elements, including one conduit with a pole wire for EV charging in
the parking lot.
The anticipated start date was July 1, 2023 with a projected completion date of
January 1, 2024.
There was no shoreline and the site did not abut any water, so the flood plain
Ordinance did not apply. Kohne displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the
stormwater management plan with the stormwater retention system beneath the
parking lot.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
May 22, 2023

Dr. Douglas Gates of Bush Lake gave a brief history and overview of the pet
hospital. Kohne displayed some renderings showing the elevation and materials.
Residents attending the neighborhood meeting had concerns about traffic but were
in general supportive of the project.
Sivilay asked for and received confirmation there was space between this site with
its fence and the access to the Kinderbury Hill PUD development. There would be
some vegetative screening with trees.
Mette noted the retail parking was 5 spaces per 1,000 and asked if the remaining
vacant space would be sufficient for the neighboring tenant. She asked what kind
of tenant the applicant was considering. Kohne did not have a specific answer but
stated the intent was to avoid filling the retail space with a high-traffic tenant (a
coffee shop, et cetera), but perhaps with light retail use. Mette suggested the main
landscaping island in front of hospital entrance have plantings that would survive
dogs’ uses of that area. Kohne replied the rear left corner had a 10- by 15-foot
fenced in area for animals to use the restroom while on leash.
Farr suggested the EV ready accommodation have panel boards and transformers
of sufficient size that could handle the additional load. He also suggested the trash
enclosure be rotated 90 degrees so that the gate would open to the right (south)
and keep the doors out of public sight. He noted an opportunity for signage on the
site alongside the northbound Highway 169 frontage road and stated the tenant
might request that, so the parapet should be kept at a consistent height to facilitate
this and screen the mechanical units.
Taylor stated he had met with staff at the neighboring daycare center who were
concerned about sharing the parking lot. Kohne replied there was the intention to
include speed bumps but this plan was not that granular.
Barnhart presented the staff report. The site was currently vacant and the
applicant was seeking four actions: a zoning change from Office to Neighborhood
Commercial; a PUD Concept Review; a PUD Development District Review with
waivers; and a Site Plan Review. The zoning change to Neighborhood
Commercial required a waiver due to the existing lot size and depth, and this
change was the best fit for the neighborhood and was supported by staff. Nothing
about the lot was changing. The setback and materials requirement were met and
exceeded in this application. The access was through a shared parking easement
and staff thought this connection was effective in reducing trips on Hennepin
Town Road. Four parking spaces would be provided for the neighboring childcare
service providing the connection. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked if the connection had previously gone through the PUD process and
wondered why it was not going through this process now. Barnhart stated this site
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
May 22, 2023

had intended to be an office, but since it had never gone through the PUD process
to be rezoned as office, it was not required for this application.
Alicia Reeves, resident at 9673 Belmont Lane, stated she was speaking on behalf
of a group that fully supported the hospital development but was concerned about
the traffic on Hennepin Town Road. She requested the speed limit be reduced
from 45 miles per hour on the approach to the site and 40 miles per hour around
the corner along it. She also wished to hear the details about the connection with
the childcare center, and suggested speed bumps and “child at play” signs.
Jerry Maher, resident at 9778 Belmont Lane, stated at the exit on Belmont Lane
the next car in sight would be 112 feet to the north (three seconds at 45 miles an
hour), placing the onus upon the driver leaving Belmont Lane to change lanes or
stop in time due to oncoming traffic. That was the reason for the request to lower
the speed limit; however, increasing the sightline from Belmont Lane to Linden
by cutting foliage would restore the street to how it looked 20 years ago at the
formation of the association which owned the land on the west side of Belmont
Lane. This was a protected wetland, so there were limitations on what could be
cut. Concerned neighbors were meeting with the Traffic Engineer to brainstorm
ideas. If the sightline could not be increased, the speed limit needed to be reduced
and/or flashing signs need to be installed.
MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 9-0.
Kirk noted this was a difficult property for any design and found the plan to be a
good use of it. Traffic movement inside and outside of the property were the main
issues. Rue stated there were a few roads in Eden Prairie that were being reviewed
for speed limits, and Hennepin Town Road was one of them. A traffic study
would be required to reduce the speed limit. Enforcement was always an issue,
and expansion of the sightlines was a viable option. Kirk noted there were already
meetings with the Traffic Engineer on this issue.
Mette agreed this was an important issue and wished the City Council to hear
these concerns. Overall she found this site appropriate for the zoning change to
Neighborhood Commercial and found the internal connection a good solution.
Farr also expressed support for the development and hoped the issue of traffic on
Hennepin Town Road would be resolved in a broader discussion. He stated he
could make a motion that included the condition of rotating the trash enclosure 90
degrees and raise the parapet wall on the east elevation to accommodate signage.
Barnhart replied the section of the building over 20 feet tall would be considered a
second floor, which would require the applicant to come back and process a
waiver at that time. Mette stated she would not support a future possible waiver
that was part of a motion. She found that overly restrictive. Rather, the property

owner could consult with the trash provider to provide a flexible solution. Farr
offered to make recommendations instead. Kirk concurred.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk to recommend approval for a Zoning
Change from Office (OFC) to neighborhood Commercial (N-COM) on 1.19
acres; a PUD Concept Review on 1.19 acres; a PUD Review with waivers on 1.19
acres; and a Site Plan Review on 1.19 acres as represented in the staff report dated
May 22, 2023 and based on plans stamp dated May 20, 2023 with the further
recommendation for staff to study the orientation of the trash enclosure and the
height of the east building wall in relation to the highway. Motion carried 9-0.
C. KIWATCHI (2022-11)
Request for:
• Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.11 acres
• Preliminary Plan of four lots and three outlots on 2.11 acres
Craig Schmidt, resident of Eden Prairie, introduced Todd McLouth, project
engineer. Schmidt displayed a PowerPoint and detailed the application. The site
would be converted to four lots, one retained by Schmidt for his family. He
displayed arial photographs and explained the site plan. Neighbors to the north
would be sold 10-foot outlots and Outlot A would be deeded to the City, since it
bordered a wetland. The current house would be demolished and replaced, and
three lots would be sold. The proposal was consistent with the neighborhood. The
project would be completed by 2024.
Sivilay asked if Schmidt had estimates for remediation of the contamination noted
in the environmental study. Schmidt replied he had not, but would receiving
bidding estimates once ready. Taylor remarked this project would be an upgrade
to the community. Farr also commended the project, and received clarification the
northern neighbors had always expressed interest in acquiring more land, which
Schmidt had given them as a neighborly gesture. Pieper asked for and received
clarification this was for additions.
Mette noted to the east there was another property almost as large, and asked if
there was consideration of continuation with this neighboring lot. Schmidt replied
that land was deeded to the City of Eden Prairie as wetland.
Barnhart presented the staff report. All of the lots met minimum size and depth
requirements. The lot deeded to the City would have stormwater management.
Staff had received no comments from the public on this proposal. Payment would
cover the deficit of trees added to the development (92 instead of 109 trees). Staff
recommended approval.

Farr asked for and received clarification the sidewalk was on the east side of the
development (Duck Lake Road).
Mette asked if a new homeowner wishing to building a home would not need to
go through the Planning Commission again, and Barnhart replied that was true.
She asked how the City determined who installed the trees. Barnhart replied that
would either be completed before construction, or it would be written into the
development agreement.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 9-0.
Kirk commended the addition as a good use of the land. Weber agreed this would
be a marked improvement.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to recommend approval of the
Zoning Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 2.1 acres; and a Preliminary Plan of four
lots and three outlots on 2.11 acres as represented in the staff report May 22, 2023

work.

East Building Elevation -Phase II
6216 Baker Road, Eden Prairie,Minnesota
The existing building material is brick and glass with a minimal amount of metal.
The buildingcomplies with the building material requirements.
The Phase II building addition blends with the existing building.The architectural
plans incorporate similar building material as the existing building,and façade
articulation is utilized to visually reduce the perceived height of the addition.
Similar window repetition as the existing building,a curved form at the top of the
building bays that mimic the existing building barrel roof form are incorporated as
well as similar site features around the entire site to create a unified project.

The Phase I improvements will require
the loss of one canopy tree near the main
entrance to the building.The canopy tree
will be replaced with 3 Black Hills Spruce
trees on the east side of the new
sidewalk to the main entrance to the
building.These 3 trees will be added
during Phase I.
The Phase II building addition requires
165 caliper inches of landscaping.The plan
includes 165 caliper inches of
landscaping.In addition to trees,the
landscaping includes many shrubs,
ornamentals grasses and flowering
perennials to create a complete
landscape treatment.
The Phase II removes more trees than
Phase I because the area to the west of
the existing building is heavily wooded.
Phase II requires 48 caliper inches of tree
replacement.The plan includes 73 caliper
inches of tree replacement and complies
with the requirements.
Grade changes between the industrial
property to the west and this parcel,
together with the wooded nature of the
slopes,the industrial uses are not likely to
see much of the proposed development.
However,we are proposing additional
landscape screening along the south
property line where there are gaps in the
existing vegetation and grading.The plan
includes a mix of evergreen trees,
deciduous trees and shrubs.Most of the
existing vegetation along the south and
west property lines will be retained.

Requested Action
Move to:
• Close the Public Hearing, and
• Approve the Resolution amending the Comprehensive Plan
Synopsis
The Metropolitan Council updated its 2040 Transportation Policy Plan and its 2040 Regional
Parks Policy Plan. Because Eden Prairie’s Comprehensive Plan is in part based on these
documents, minor adjustments to two maps and portion of text in Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 are
necessary. These changes align the City’s Comprehensive Plan with the regional policy with
regard to roads and trails.
The changes recommended include:
1. As illustrated in Figure 2 in Chapter 6, reclassify portions of 4 roads as summarized
below:

Replace 2nd paragraph on page 137 as follows:
In addition to the three Tier 1 alignments in Eden Prairie, there are two Tier 2 alignments present
in Eden Prairie. In the northwest corner of Eden Prairie on 192nd Avenue/TH 101 is a Tier 2 alignment
extending north south from Twilight Trail to Townline Road. Currently, this alignment has a shared use
trail on the west side of 192nd Avenue in Chanhassen. Additional Tier 2 alignments include a trail along
Pioneer trail, connecting trail systems in Bloomington and Carver County, and the Minnesota River Bluffs
LRT Regional Trail . Also, a trail along Baker Road north of Valley View Road, connection to trail systems
in Minnetonka.
STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jeremy Barnhart, City Planner
DATE: May 8, 2023
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Transportation and Trails (2023-
01CA)
The Minnesota Legislature establishes Transportation, Regional Parks, and Water Resources as
regional systems and requires the Metropolitan Council to establish plans for these systems, through
the development of Policy Plans. These policies are used to develop the Comprehensive Plans.
Periodically, the Metropolitan Council updates these plans, which in turn require amendments to
local comprehensive plans, including the Eden Prairie Comprehensive Plan, Aspire2040.
In 2022, the Metropolitan Council updated their 2040 Transportation Policy Plan and the 2040
Regional Parks Policy Plan, which affected some map and text changes in Chapter 6, Transportation
chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to these map and text changes, staff proposes a
minor text change to reflect the name change of the express toll lanes.
The changes proposed are:
I. Update Chapter 6, Figure 2 by reclassifying portions of Bryant Lake Road, Washington
Avenue South, and Eden Prairie Road as illustrated below.
Classification
Current Proposed
Bryant Lake Road All Planned Minor
Collector Planned Major Collector

II. Chapter 6, pages 120 and 121, replace all references to MnPass with EZ pass, to reflect the
renaming of that program. A typical example follows:
“…This project will construct a MnPASS E-ZPass express lane on I-494 from France Avenue to TH 77 in
the eastbound direction and a MnPASS E-ZPass express lane from TH 77 to I-35W in the westbound
direction. MnPASS E-ZPass lanes are dedicated to vehicles containing two or more people, including

infants, at no cost during peak travel times. The lanes are also open to single motorists with a MnPASS
E-ZPass, who are required to pay a fee. During non-peak travel times, an overhead MnPASS E-ZPass
sign will display that the lane is open to all motorists, at no charge. The proposed project is envisioned
to not only improve the capacity of the interstate but dramatically improve the reliability of the
average rush hour trip. The project will reduce travel delay by almost 2,900 hours per day, eliminate
slightly less than $2.0 million in crash costs annually, and drastically increase reliability of trips on the
corridor…”
III. Chapter 6, Figure 12 on page 133 by classifying the trail along Pioneer Trail and the trail
along Baker Road north of Valley View Road as Tier 2 routes. Currently, these trails are merely
paved trails. The classification of these trails upgrades their funding opportunities as part of a
larger regional network.
IV. Add text to the second paragraph of Chapter 6, page 137 as underlined:
Existing text:
In addition to the three Tier 1 alignments in Eden Prairie, one Tier 2 alignment is present in Eden
Prairie. The Tier 2 alignment is in the northwest corner of Eden Prairie on 192nd Avenue/TH
101. The Tier 2 alignment extends north south from Twilight Trail to Townline Road. Currently,
this alignment has a shared use trail on the west side of 192nd Avenue in Chanhassen.
Replace with:
In addition to the three Tier 1 alignments in Eden Prairie, there are two Tier 2 alignments present
in Eden Prairie. In the northwest corner of Eden Prairie on 192nd Avenue/TH 101 is a Tier 2
alignment extending north south from Twilight Trail to Townline Road. Currently, this

Tier 2 alignments include a trail along Pioneer trail, connecting trail systems in Bloomington and
Carver County, and the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail. Also, a trail along Baker
Road north of Valley View Road, connection to trail systems in Minnetonka and Three Rivers
Park District’s planned Bryant Lake Regional Trail.

Request for:

Barnhart displayed a PowerPoint and stated this was an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. The Met Council established policies for regional
transportation systems, parks, and water resources. It recently updated its
Transportation Plan and Parks policy plans, and updated the roadway
classification map.
The reclassifications were as follows: Bryant Lake Road changed from a Planned
Minor Collector to a Planned Major Collector. Washington Avenue South
changed from a Minor Reliever to a Major Collector. Eden Prairie Road changed
from Planned Minor Collector to a Minor Collector. Scenic Heights Road
changed from a Major Collector to a Minor Collector.
Staff had identified roads in the regional network that needed to be updated on the
maps. There were no projects on these roads currently underway or planned in the
near future. Regarding the Bike and Pedestrian Trail network there were two
segments which changed: the trail along Pioneer Trail was now classified as a
Tier Two regional trail. The trail along Baker Road north of Valley View Road
was now classified as a Tier Two trail. Both classifications related to funding
priorities due to their regional importance.
Barnhart explained these changes could result in additional funding opportunities.
Housekeeping changes included changing the name of the MnPass Program to its
current name, E-ZPass. There were no policy changes.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Sivilay to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 8-0.
Farr asked if some of these road designations impacted right-of way or setbacks to
right-of-way. Barnhart the changes would not affect setbacks, which were driven
by the zoning district, but there could be additional right of way which would be
indirectly affected. Grote asked if improvements would be needed in response to
these changes. Schulze stated there would not be any improvements required at
this time, but Bryant Lake Road could require them in the future.
Mette asked for a clarification of the difference between major and minor
connectors. Schulze replied a major connector referred to connection to a larger
area with different signal systems, density, volume of traffic and speeds. Minor
connectors involved lower speeds. Both areas were similar.
Mette also asked since there were trails on both sides of Pioneer Trail, were both
sides affected, and Schulze replied only one side would be designated.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Farr to approve the amendment to Chapter
6 (Transportation and Accessibility) of the Eden Prairie Comprehensive Plan,

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
First Reading of Ordinance Amending City
Code Chapter 4 Relating to Licensing and
Regulation of Alcoholic Beverages
ITEM NO.:
XI.A.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the First Reading of the Ordinance Amending City Code Chapter 4 Relating to
Licensing and Regulation of Alcoholic Beverages
Synopsis
Chapter 4 of the Eden Prairie City Code contains the City’s regulations and licensing requirements relating
to alcoholic beverages. Chapter 4 has not undergone a wholesale update for many years, and currently
contains several provisions that are outdated or not in compliance with state law.
The attached ordinance amends Chapter 4 in its entirety. The amended chapter now references and
incorporates many definitions, provisions, and requirements of state law, which will allow the City to
quickly implement liquor law amendments that may be adopted by the legislature. The ordinance also
adopts similar administrative licensing processes and requirements that are used in other City licensing
sections found in Chapter 5. This will allow for ease of administration by City staff and clarity for
applicants. While the amendment brings certain requirements of Chapter 4 in line with both state law and
the practices of surrounding communities, it retains most of Chapter 4’s existing substantive licensing
requirements, conditions, and penalties.

any penalty and interest thereon in twelve (12) equal monthly payments commencing on

together with any additional penalty and interest will be paid on or before the date of the
payment of the last installment, and
2. The applicant enters into an agreement with the City affirming that noncompliance with
the terms of the agreement with the Hennepin County Treasurer is sufficient grounds to
suspend or revoke the license.
For the purpose of this subsection, “applicant” includes persons and related persons owning,
directly or indirectly, (1) at least a fifty percent (50%) beneficial interest in the proposed licensee
or in an entity owning such interest in the proposed licensee or in the entity making the application

deemed to be a licensee.
SECTION 4.06. LICENSE APPLICATIONS.
Subd. 1. Application. All applications for licenses issued under this chapter must be made on forms
supplied by the City and/or by the State. All questions asked or information required by the application
forms must be answered fully and completely by the applicant.
A. Corporate/LLC Applicants and Licensees. An applicant that is a corporation or limited liability
company (LLC), at the time of application, must furnish the City with a list of all persons that have
an interest in such corporation or LLC and the extent of such interest. For a corporation, the list
must name all shareholders holding more than five percent (5%) of all issued and outstanding stock
of the corporation and show the number of shares held by each, either individually or beneficially
for others. For an LLC, the list must name all members owning more than five (5%) of the
membership interests of the LLC and show the percentage of membership interests held by each,
either individually or beneficially for others. It is the duty of each corporate or LLC licensee to
notify the Licensing Technician in writing of any change in legal ownership or beneficial interest
in such corporation or in such shares or in such LLC or its membership interests. Notice of such
change must be given within ten (10) days of its occurrence. Any change in the ownership or
beneficial interest in the shares or membership interests entitled to be voted at a meeting of the
shareholders of a corporate licensee or the members of a LLC licensee, which results in the change
of voting control of the company, will be deemed equivalent to a transfer of the license issued to
the corporation or LLC. Upon request, the corporate licensee must allow the City at any reasonable
time to examine the stock or membership transfer records and minute books of the company in
order to verify and identify the shareholders or members. Any other licensee must allow the City
upon request to examine its business records to the extent necessary to disclose the interest that
persons other than the licensee have in the licensed business.
B. Property Ownership and Leases. Each applicant for a license must provide, for the property on
which the licensed business will operate, (1) such information as is requested by the City to
establish the record owner of the property, and (2) copies of all leases currently in effect.
C. Every application for the issuance or renewal of a license for the sale of alcoholic beverages must
include a copy of each summons received by the applicant under Minn. Stat. § 340A.802 during
the preceding year.
Subd. 2. False Statements. It is unlawful for any applicant to intentionally make a false statement or
omission on any application. Any false statement in such application or any willful omission to state any
information called for on such application will, upon discovery of such falsehood, be grounds for denial or,
if already issued, for revocation or nonrenewal of the license.
Subd. 3. Application, Investigation, and License Fees.
A. Application and Investigation Fee. At the time of the initial application, applicants for on-sale
liquor licenses, malt liquor licenses, on-sale wine licenses, cocktail room licenses, brewer taproom
licenses and on-sale brew pub licenses must pay a fee to the City which will be considered an
application and investigation fee, not refundable to applicant, to cover the costs of the City in
processing the application and the investigation of the application. No such fee is required of an
applicant for any temporary license, a microdistillery off-sale license, a small brewer license, or an
off-sale brew pub license. An application will not be deemed complete until the application and
investigation fee has been paid.
B. License Fee. Upon approval of an application, whether initial or renewal, the license will not be
effective until a separate license fee is paid. The license fee is not refundable except as provided in
subsection D of this subdivision 3. If the license issued is for less than a full year, the license fee
will be prorated based on the date of issuance of the license.
C. All application, investigation, and licensee fees provided for in this subdivision will be fixed and
determined by the Council and may, from time to time, be amended by the Council. As required
by Minn. Stat. § 340A.408, subd. 3a, any increase in license fees for 3.2% malt liquor and on-sale
intoxicating liquor will be preceded by notice and a public hearing. Notice of the proposed increase
will be mailed to all affected licensees at least 30 days before the date set for the public hearing.
D. License Fee Refund in Certain Cases. A pro-rata share of an annual license fee for a license issued
under this chapter will be refunded to the licensee or to the licensee’s estate only under the
following circumstances: (i) the business permanently ceases to operate because of destruction or
damage, (ii) the licensee dies, (iii) the business ceases to be lawful for a reason other than a license
revocation, or (iv) the licensee ceases to carry on the licensed business. Under any of these
circumstances, the license will automatically expire.
Subd. 4. Manager or Agent. If the applicant is an individual who is a non-resident of the City, more than
one individual whether or not they are residents of the City, or a firm, association, partnership, corporation,
limited liability company, or joint venture, the applicant must include the name of the natural person who
will serve as the manager or agent of the licensed premises. Such manager or agent must, by the terms of
their written consent, (1) take full responsibility for the conduct of the licensed premises and (2) serve as
agent for service of notices and other process relating to the license. Such manager or agent must be a
person who could qualify individually as a licensee. A licensee must notify the City in writing within 15
days of any change in such manager or agent, indicating the name and address of the new manager or agent
and the effective date of such change. Failure of the licensee to provide this notice will be grounds for
revocation, suspension, or nonrenewal of the license.
Subd. 5. Investigation. The City is empowered to conduct any and all investigations to verify the
information on applications and renewal applications submitted under this chapter, including but not limited
to ordering a criminal history check pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 299C.72 and conducting an inspection of any
premises proposed to be licensed. Failure of an applicant to allow an inspection is grounds for denial or
nonrenewal of the license.
Subd. 6. Consideration and Issuance. After the information on the application has been verified as correct
by the City pursuant to subdivision 5 above, an initial application for a license under this chapter will be
presented to the City Council for issuance or denial.
A. Issuance. Upon the City Council’s approval of an application and the applicant’s payment of the
license fee, the Licensing Technician will issue and mail a license to the applicant at the address
noted in the application.
B. Denial. The City Council may deny a license on the grounds set forth in Section 4.05, and/or on
the same grounds for which a license may be suspended or revoked as set forth in Section 4.09. A
denial of an application will be communicated to the applicant in writing, including findings
supporting the decision. The notice of denial will be mailed by regular mail to the applicant at the
address listed on the application.
C. Conditional Licenses. The Council may place such conditions and restrictions upon any license as
it deems reasonable and justified, in its sole discretion. Every license is granted subject to the
provisions of this chapter and all other laws relating to the operation of the licensee’s business.
D. If a separate or additional license is required under federal or state law for the licensee’s business,
no license issued under this chapter will be valid until such separate license is issued.
E. A license is valid only at one (1) location and on the premises described in the license.
Subd. 7. Term of License. Licenses issued under this chapter will expire on December 31 of each year.
The Council may approve an application for the period of the remainder of the then-current license year
and/or for the entire ensuing license year.
Subd. 8. License Renewal. Applications for renewal of all licenses under this chapter must be made at
least sixty (60) days prior to the date of expiration of the license and must contain such information as is
required by the City. This renewal deadline may be waived by the Council for good and sufficient cause.
Consideration and issuance of a renewal application will follow the procedure provided in subdivision 6.
Subd. 9. Change of Information. A licensee must notify the City within thirty (30) days of a change in
the information or facts required to be furnished on the application for a license, even after the license has
been issued. Failure to comply with this subdivision is cause for suspension, revocation, or nonrenewal of
the license.
SECTION 4.07. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF APPLICANTS AND LICENSEES.
Subd. 1. Proof. No alcoholic beverage license will be issued, maintained, or renewed unless and until the
applicant has provided proof of financial responsibility imposed by Minn. Stat. § 340A.409, by filing with
the City:
A. A certificate that there is in effect for the license period an insurance policy or pool providing
minimum coverages of:
1. $50,000 because of bodily injury to any one (1) person in any one (1) occurrence, and
$100,000 because of bodily injury to two (2) or more persons in any one (1) occurrence,
and in the amount of $10,000 because of injury to or destruction of property of others in
any one (1) occurrence;
2. $50,000 for loss of means of support of any one (1) person in any one (1) occurrence and
$100,000 for loss of means of support of two (2) or more persons in any one (1) occurrence,
$50,000 for other pecuniary loss of any one (1) person in any one (1) occurrence; and
3. An annual aggregate policy limit for dram shop liability of not less than $310,000 per
policy year or such higher amount as specified by state statute.
B. A bond of a surety company with minimum coverages as provided in subsection A of this section;
or
C. A certificate of the Minnesota Commissioner of Management and Budget that the licensee has
deposited with the commissioner $100,000 in cash or securities which may legally be purchased
by savings banks or for trust funds having a market value of $100,000.
D. The coverage amounts listed in this subdivision are minimum requirements. If Minn. Stat. §
340A.409 is amended to require higher minimum coverage amounts, such higher amounts will
apply.
Subd. 2. Exemption. This section does not apply to licensees identified in Minn. Stat. § 340A.409, Subd.
4. An applicant seeking to use this exemption must, prior to issuance of a license, provide to the City a copy
of the affidavit required by statute.
Subd. 3. The liability insurance policy, bond, or certificate of the commissioner required above must
provide that it may not be canceled for:
A. Any cause, except for nonpayment of premium, by the licensee, the insurance company, bond
company, or commissioner without first giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the licensee of
intent to cancel the policy; and
B. Nonpayment of premium unless the canceling party has first given ten (10) days’ notice in writing
to the licensee of intent to cancel the policy.
The policy must also provide that, in the event of cancellation, the insurer will send notice to the City at the
same time that a cancellation request is received from or a notice is sent to the licensee. Such notice must
be addressed to the Licensing Technician.
Subd. 4. Documents Submitted to Commission. All proofs of financial responsibility and exemption
affidavits filed with the City under this section will be submitted by the City to the Minnesota Commissioner
of Public Safety.
SECTION 4.08. CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND REGULATIONS.
Subd. 1. Applicable Law. A license is subject to the conditions, restrictions, and regulations in this chapter,
all other provisions of City Code, and all provisions of other applicable federal, state, and local laws,
regulations, and ordinances.
Subd. 2. Duplicate Licenses. Duplicates of all original licenses under this chapter may be issued by the
Licensing Technician without action by the Council.

include findings and conclusions supporting the decision and a copy will be promptly
provided to the licensee.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
First Reading of Ordinance Granting a
Cable Franchise to Comcast
ITEM NO.
XI.B.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the First Reading of the Ordinance Granting a Cable Franchise to Comcast
Synopsis
Effective August 1, 2012 each of the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission Member Cities granted a
cable franchise to Comcast. The initial term of the franchise ran for ten (10) years and was extended by
the Member Cities through January 31, 2023.
In 2019 Comcast requested renewal of the franchise and the Cable Commission has since been engaged
in informal renewal negotiations with Comcast to reach mutually acceptable terms for a renewal cable
franchise.
On May 24, 2023, the Cable Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the renewal cable
franchise be adopted by each Member City.
All five Member Cities are considering the renewal cable franchise simultaneously. Any proposed
revisions from one of the cities may require the Cable Commission to seek agreement not only from
Comcast but also from the other four Member Cities which may have already taken action to adopt the
renewal cable franchise. This point is raised not to suggest that further revisions are impossible, but to
emphasize the complexity of the approval process and the steps which must be undertaken to complete
the approval process.
Background
The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission (“Cable Commission”) consists of the cities of Eden
Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Richfield, Minnesota (“Member Cities”). The Cable
Commission administers and enforces cable franchises on behalf of its member cities.
Effective August 1, 2012 each of the Member Cities granted a cable franchise to Comcast. The initial
term of the franchise ran for ten (10) years and was extended by the Member Cities through January 31,
2023.
In 2019 Comcast requested renewal of the franchise and the Cable Commission has since been engaged
in informal renewal negotiations with Comcast to reach mutually acceptable terms for a renewal cable
franchise.
In response to Comcast’s request for franchise renewal, the Cable Commission retained an outside
consultant to conduct a needs assessment of the future cable-related needs and interests of the member
cities for the next franchise term. The Cable Commission also prepared a draft renewal franchise which
incorporated the findings of the needs assessment.
Cable Commission Goals:
1. Ensure each city’s ROW Code is incorporated into the Renewal Franchise.
2. Retain ability to regulate noncable services provided by Comcast – broadband.
3. Ensure all local PEG (public, educational and governmental) access channels are provided in HD
(high-definition).
4. Increase the level of capital support for PEG access channels.
5. Maintain the 5% franchise fee as consideration for use of the City’s ROW.
6. Maintain strong customer service standards.
7. Renew for a 10 year term.
8. Adopt enforcement procedures and security to ensure compliance.
Negotiation Process:
The final Needs Assessment Report and draft renewal franchise were sent to Comcast for review on July
5, 2022. The Commission and Comcast have exchanged draft documents and held multiple negotiation
sessions to discuss the terms and conditions of the document in an effort to reach mutually acceptable
language for the next cable franchise. On May 24, 2023, the Cable Commission adopted Resolution
2023-1 (copy attached) recommending that the renewal cable franchise be adopted by each Member
City.
All five Member Cities are considering the renewal cable franchise simultaneously. Any proposed
revisions from one of the cities may require the Cable Commission to seek agreement not only from
Comcast but also from the other four Member Cities which may have already taken action to adopt the
renewal cable franchise. This point is raised not to suggest that further revisions are impossible, but to
emphasize the complexity of the approval process and the steps which must be undertaken to complete
the approval process.
Final Results of Franchise Negotiations:

“Gross Revenue” definition Stronger definition
5% franchise fee Same % as Existing Franchise – federal law (maximum
allowed)
$.65/subscriber/month PEG Fee 1.5% of gross revenues

FRANCHISE
2.1 Grant of Franchise. The City hereby authorizes Grantee to occupy or use the
City’s Streets subject to: ) the provisions of this non-exclusive Franchise to provide Cable
Service within the City; and 2) all applicable provisions of the City Code. Unless this Franchise
has expired pursuant to Section 2.8 herein or this Franchise is otherwise terminated pursuant to
Section 11.2 herein, this Franchise shall constitute both a right and an obligation to provide
Cable Services as required by the provisions of this Franchise. Nothing in this Franchise shall be

regulatory authority in an appropriate forum. The City hereby reserves all of its rights to
regulate such other services to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law and no provision
herein shall be construed to limit or give up any right to regulate.
2.2 Reservation of Authority. The Grantee specifically agrees to comply with the
lawful provisions of the City Code and applicable regulations of the City. Subject to the police
power exception below, in the event of a conflict between (A) the lawful provisions of the City

Cable System as it deems appropriate provided, however, such additional grants shall not operate
to materially modify, revoke, or terminate any rights previously granted to Grantee other than as
described in Section 17.18. The grant of any additional franchise shall not of itself be deemed to
constitute a modification, revocation, or termination of rights previously granted to Grantee.
Any additional cable franchise grants shall comply with Minn. Stat. § 238.08 and any other
applicable federal level playing field requirements.
2.6 Periodic Public Review of Franchise. Within sixty (60) Days of the third and

full opportunity for public comment, that the Grantee continues to effectively serve the public in
the light of new developments in cable law and regulation, cable technology, cable company
performance with the requirements of this Franchise, local regulatory environment, community
needs and interests, and other such factors. Both the City and Grantee agree to make a full and
good faith effort to participate in the review. So long as Grantee receives reasonable notice,
Grantee shall participate in the review process and shall fully cooperate. The review shall not
operate to modify or change any provision of this Franchise without mutual written consent in
accordance with Section 17.7 of this Franchise.
2.7 Transfer of Ownership.

defined in Minn. Stat. § 238.083, of this Franchise shall take place until the parties to the

interest in the System shall be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.7. The term

transferor to the City.
(h) In accordance with Minn. Stat. § 238.084, Subd. 1(y), the City shall have
the right to purchase the System in the event the Franchise or System is proposed to be
transferred or sold on the same terms and conditions as the offer pursuant to which
transfer notice was provided pursuant to this section.
(i) City shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this paragraph (h) in

Days of notice of a proposed sale or assignment, its intention to exercise its right
of purchase; or
(ii) It approves the assignment or sale of the Franchise as provided
within this section.
2.8 Expiration. Upon expiration of the Franchise, the City shall have the right at its
own election and subject to Grantee’s rights under Section 626 of the Cable Act to:
(a) extend the Franchise, though nothing in this provision shall be construed
to require such extension;
(b) renew the Franchise, in accordance with Applicable Laws;
(c) invite additional franchise applications or proposals;
(d) terminate the Franchise subject to any rights Grantee has under Section
626 of the Cable Act; or

provided for herein, the City shall have the right to require Grantee to remove at Grantee’s own
expense all or any part of the Cable System from all Streets and public ways within the Franchise
10
8516629v1
Area within a reasonable time. If Grantee fails to do so, the City may perform the work and
collect the cost thereof from Grantee. However, Grantee shall have no obligation under this
Franchise to remove the Cable System where it utilizes the system to provide other non-Cable
Services and has any other authority under Applicable Law to maintain facilities in the Streets, or
where Grantee is able to find a purchaser of the Cable System who holds such authorization.
2.10 Continuity of Service Mandatory. It shall be the right of all Subscribers to
receive Cable Service in accordance with the terms of this Franchise and Applicable Law. In the
event that Grantee elects to overbuild, rebuild, modify, or transfer the Cable System in
accordance with Section 2.7, or the City revokes or fails to renew the Franchise, Grantee shall
make its best effort to ensure that all Subscribers receive continuous uninterrupted service,
regardless of the circumstances, while the Franchise remains effective. In the event of
expiration, purchase, lease-purchase, condemnation, acquisition, taking over or holding of plant
and equipment, sale, lease, or other transfer to any other Person, including any other grantee of a
cable franchise, the current Grantee shall cooperate fully to operate the Cable System in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Franchise for a temporary period sufficient in
length to maintain continuity of Cable Service to all Subscribers.

removal. However, if the City makes available funds for the cost of placing facilities
underground, nothing herein shall preclude the Grantee from participating in such
funding to the extent consistent with the City Code or Applicable Laws.
12
8516629v1

purpose, Grantee shall, upon request, except as otherwise hereinafter provided, at its sole
expense remove or relocate as necessary its poles, wires, cables, underground conduits,
vaults, pedestals, manholes and any other facilities which it has installed. Nothing herein
shall mandate that City provide reimbursement to Grantee for the costs of such relocation
and removal. However, if the City makes available funds for the cost of placing facilities
underground, nothing herein shall preclude the Grantee from participating in such
funding to the extent consistent with the City Code or Applicable Laws.
(b) Utilities and Other Franchisees. If, during the term of the Franchise,
another entity which holds a franchise or any utility requests Grantee to remove or
relocate such facilities to accommodate the construction, maintenance or repair of the
requesting party’s facilities, or their more efficient use, or to “make ready” the requesting
party’s facilities for use by others, or because Grantee is using a facility which the
requesting party has a right or duty to remove, Grantee shall do so. The companies
involved may decide among themselves who is to bear the cost of removal or relocation,
pursuant to City Code, and provided that the City shall not be liable for such costs.

underground cable or conduit which requires trenching or other opening of the Streets
along the extension of cable to be removed, except as hereinafter provided. Grantee may
remove any underground cable from the Streets which has been installed in such a
manner that it can be removed without trenching or other opening of the Streets along the
extension of cable to be removed. Subject to Applicable Law, Grantee shall remove, at
its sole cost and expense, any underground cable or conduit by trenching or opening of
the Streets along the extension thereof or otherwise which is ordered to be removed by
the City based upon a determination, in the sole discretion of the City, that removal is
required in order to eliminate or prevent a hazardous condition. Underground cable and
14

Channels shall include by way of example and not limitation: (1) the identification of financial
supporters similar to what is provided on public broadcasting stations; or (2) the solicitation of
financial support for the provision of PEG programming by the City or third party users for
charitable, educational or governmental purposes; or (3) programming offered by accredited,
non-profit, educational institutions which may, for example, offer telecourses over a Access
Channel.
7.10 PEG Transport. Grantee will maintain all existing fiber paths in place as of the
Effective Date to facilitate PEG origination/return capacity in the City. Such fiber returns paths
are listed in Exhibit B attached hereto and will be provided by Grantee without additional charge,
with no recurring, monthly costs or offsets, except that Grantee may invoice the Commission for
any maintenance costs consistent with Applicable Law and the Section 621 Order. Grantee shall
not be responsible for fiber “replacement” but will handle any damage and all maintenance on
the existing fiber. Grantee anticipates, but cannot guarantee, that that this will result in minimal
fiber expenditures by the City over the Franchise term.
7.11 Interconnection. To the extent technically feasible, Grantee will allow necessary
interconnection with any newly constructed City and school fiber for noncommercial
programming to be promoted and administered by the City as allowed under Applicable Laws
and at no additional cost to the City or schools. This may be accomplished through a patch panel
or other similar facility and each party will be responsible for the fiber on their respective sides
of the demarcation point. Grantee reserves its right to review on a case-by-case basis the
technical feasibility of the proposed interconnection. Based on this review, Grantee may
condition the interconnection on the reasonable reimbursement of Grantee’s incremental costs,
23
8516629v1
with no markup for profit, to recoup Grantee’s construction costs only. In no event will Grantee
impose any type of recurring fee for said interconnection.
7.12 Ancillary Equipment. Any ancillary equipment operated by Grantee for the
benefit of PEG Access Channels on Grantee’s fiber paths or Cable System, whether referred to
switchers, routers, or other equipment, will be maintained by Grantee, free of charge and at no
cost to the City, Commission or schools for the life of the Franchise. Grantee is responsible for
any ancillary equipment on its side of the demarcation point and the City, Commission or school
is responsible for all other production/playback equipment.
7.13 Future PEG Transport. At such time that the City determines:
(a) that the City desires the capacity to allow Subscribers in the City to
receive PEG programming (video or character generated) which may originate from
schools, City facilities, other government facilities or other designated facilities (other
than those indicated in Exhibit B); or
(b) that the City desires to establish or change a location from which PEG
programming is originated; or
(c) that the City desires to upgrade the Connection to Grantee from an
existing signal point of origination,
the City will give Grantee written notice detailing the point of origination and the capability
sought by the City. Grantee agrees to submit a cost estimate to implement the City’s plan within
a reasonable period of time but not later than September 1st in the year proceeding the request for
any costs exceeding Twenty-five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000). The cost estimate
will be on a time and materials basis with no additional markup. After an agreement to
reimburse Grantee for Grantee’s out of pocket time and material costs, Grantee will implement
any necessary Cable System changes within a reasonable period of time. Nothing herein
prevents the City, or a private contractor retained by the City, from constructing said return fiber.
7.14 PEG Access Channel Carriage.
(a) Any and all costs associated with any modification of the PEG Access
Channels or signals after the PEG Access Channels/signals leave the City’s designated
playback facilities, or any designated playback center authorized by the City shall be
borne entirely by Grantee. Grantee shall not cause any programming to override PEG
programming on any PEG Access Channel, except by oral or written permission from the
City, with the exception of emergency alert signals.
(b) The City may request and Grantee shall provide an additional PEG Access
Channel when the cumulative time on all the existing PEG Access Channels combined
meets the following standard: whenever one of the PEG Access Channels in use during
eighty percent (80%) of the weekdays, Monday through Friday, for eighty percent (80%)
of the time during a consecutive three (3) hour period for six (6) weeks running, and there
is a demand for use of an additional Channel for the same purpose, the Grantee has six
(6) months in which to provide a new, PEG Access Channel for the same purpose;
24
8516629v1
provided that, the provision of the additional Channel or Channels does not require the
Cable System to install Converters.

for the production quality of PEG programming productions. The City, or its designee,
shall be responsible for the production and quality of all PEG access programming.
Grantee shall carry all components of the standard definition of PEG Access Channel
including, but not limited to, closed captioning, stereo audio and other elements
associated with the programming.

(b) The PEG Fee is not part of the Franchise Fee and instead falls within one
(1) or more of the exceptions in 47 U.S.C. § 542, unless the PEG Fee may be categorized,

(d) Any PEG Fee amounts owing pursuant to this Franchise which remain
unpaid more than twenty-five (25) Days after the date the payment is due shall be
delinquent and shall thereafter accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum or the
prime lending rate published by the Wall Street Journal on the Day the payment was due
plus two percent (2%), whichever is greater.
7.16 PEG Technical Quality and Support.
(a) Grantee shall not be required to carry a PEG Access Channel in a higher
quality format than that of the Channel signal delivered to Grantee, but Grantee shall not
implement a change in the method of delivery of PEG Access Channels that results in a
material degradation of signal quality or impairment of viewer reception of PEG Access
Channels, provided that this requirement shall not prohibit Grantee from implementing
25
8516629v1
new technologies also utilized for commercial Channels carried on its Cable System.
Grantee shall meet FCC signal quality standards when offering PEG Access Channels on
its Cable System and shall continue to comply with closed captioning pass-through
requirements. There shall be no significant deterioration in a PEG Access Channel signal
from the point of origination upstream to the point of reception (hub or headend) or
downstream to the Subscriber on the Cable System.
(b) Within twenty-four (24) hours of a written request from City to the
Grantee identifying a technical problem with a PEG Access Channel and requesting
assistance, Grantee will provide technical assistance or diagnostic services to determine
whether or not a problem with a PEG signal is the result of matters for which Grantee is
responsible and if so, Grantee will take prompt corrective action. If the problem persists
and there is a dispute about the cause, then the parties shall meet with engineering
representation from Grantee and the City in order to determine the course of action to
remedy the problem.

charge to City or its designated entities, purchase such equipment as may be necessary to
facilitate the cablecasting of the PEG Access Channels in accordance with the requirements of
the Franchise.
7.19 Relocation of Grantee’s Headend. In the event Grantee relocates its headend,

Franchise, Grantee shall give the City and all Subscribers within the City at least thirty
(30) Days’ notice of any intended modifications or additions to Subscriber rates or

thereafter Grantee shall maintain with City a bond in the sum of One Hundred Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) in such form and with such sureties as shall be acceptable to City,
conditioned upon the faithful performance by Grantee of this Franchise and the acceptance
hereof given by City and upon the further condition that in the event Grantee shall fail to comply

other rights the City may have under this Franchise or any other law.

SECTION 10
SECURITY FUND
10.1 Security Fund. If there is an uncured breach by Grantee of a material provision
of this Franchise or a pattern of repeated violations of any provision(s) of this Franchise, then
Grantee shall, upon written request, establish and provide to the City, as security for the faithful
28
8516629v1
performance by Grantee of all of the provisions of this Franchise, a letter of credit from a
financial institution satisfactory to the City in the amount of Twenty-five Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($25,000.00). In no event shall Grantee fail to post a Twenty-five Thousand and No/100
Dollar ($25,000.00) letter of credit within thirty (30) days receipt of a notice of franchise
violation pursuant to this Section 10.1. Failure to post said letter of credit shall constitute a
separate material violation of this Franchise unless the breach is cured within such thirty (30)
Day period or longer period allowed under the Franchise. The letter of credit shall serve as a
common security fund for the faithful performance by Grantee of all the provisions of this
Franchise and compliance with all orders, permits and directions of the City and the payment by
Grantee of any claim, liens, costs, expenses, and taxes due the City which arise by reason of the
construction, operation or maintenance of the Cable System. Interest on this deposit shall be
paid to Grantee by the bank on an annual basis. The security may be terminated by the Grantee
upon the resolution of the alleged noncompliance. The obligation to establish the security fund
required by this paragraph is unconditional. The fund must be established in those circumstances
where Grantee disputes the allegation that it is not in compliance and maintained for the duration
of the dispute. If Grantee fails to establish the security fund as required, the City may take
whatever action is appropriate to require the establishment of that fund and may recover its costs,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and an additional penalty of Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($5,000) in that action.
10.2 Withdrawal of Funds. The security fund shall permit the City to withdraw funds
upon demand (sight draft). Grantee shall not use the security fund for other purposes and shall
not assign, pledge, or otherwise use this security fund as security for any purpose.
10.3 Restoration of Funds. Within ten (10) Days after notice to it that any amount
has been withdrawn by the City from the security fund pursuant to Section 10.4 of this Franchise,
Grantee shall deposit a sum of money sufficient to restore such security fund to the required
amount.
10.4 Liquidated Damages. In addition to recovery of any monies owed by Grantee to
City or damages to City as a result of any acts or omissions by Grantee pursuant to the Franchise,
City in its sole discretion may charge to and collect from the security fund the following
liquidated damages:
(a) For failure to provide data, documents, reports, or information or to
cooperate with City during an application process or System review, the liquidated
damage shall be Two Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($250.00) per Day for each Day,
or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
(b) For failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Franchise for
which a penalty is not otherwise specifically provided pursuant to this Paragraph 10.4,
the liquidated damage shall be Two Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($250.00) per Day
for each Day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
(c) Forty-five (45) Days following notice from City of a failure of Grantee to
comply with construction, operation or maintenance standards, the liquidated damage
29
8516629v1
shall be Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) per Day for each Day, or part
thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
(d) For failure to provide the services Grantee has proposed, including but not
limited to the implementation and the utilization of the Access Channels the liquidated
damage shall be Two Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($250.00) per Day for each Day,
or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
10.5 Each Violation a Separate Violation. Each violation of any provision of this
Franchise shall be considered a separate violation for which separate liquidated damages can be
imposed.
10.6 Maximum Draw Per Violation. Any liquidated damages for any given violation
shall be imposed upon Grantee for a maximum of Twenty-five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($25,000). If after that amount of draw from the security fund Grantee has not cured or
commenced to cure the alleged breach to the satisfaction of the City, the City may pursue all
other remedies.
10.7 Withdrawal of Funds to Pay Taxes. If Grantee fails to pay to the City any taxes
due and unpaid; or fails to repay to the City, any damages, costs or expenses which the City shall
be compelled to pay by reason of any act or default of the Grantee in connection with this
Franchise; or fails, after thirty (30) Days’ notice of such failure by the City to comply with any
provision of the Franchise which the City reasonably determines can be remedied by an
expenditure of the security, the City may then withdraw such funds from the security fund.
Payments are not Franchise Fees as defined in Section 16 of this Franchise.
10.8 Procedure for Draw on Security Fund. Whenever the City finds that Grantee
has allegedly violated one (1) or more terms, conditions or provisions of this Franchise, a written
notice shall be given to Grantee. The written notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
alleged violation so as to afford Grantee an opportunity to remedy the violation. Grantee shall
have thirty (30) Days subsequent to receipt of the notice in which to correct the violation before
the City may require Grantee to make payment of damages, and further to enforce payment of
damages through the security fund. Grantee may, within ten (10) Days of receipt of notice,
notify the City that there is a dispute as to whether a violation or failure has, in fact, occurred.
Such notice by Grantee shall specify with particularity the matters disputed by Grantee and shall
stay the running of the above-described time.
(a) City shall hear Grantee’s dispute at the next regularly scheduled or
specially scheduled Council meeting. Grantee shall have the right to speak and introduce
evidence. The City shall determine if Grantee has committed a violation and shall make
written findings of fact relative to its determination. If a violation is found, Grantee may
petition for reconsideration.
(b) If after hearing the dispute, the claim is upheld by the City, then Grantee
shall have thirty (30) Days within which to remedy the violation before the City may
require payment of all liquidated damages due it.
30
8516629v1
10.9 Time for Correction of Violation. The time for Grantee to correct any alleged
violation may be extended by the City if the necessary action to collect the alleged violation is of
such a nature or character as to require more than thirty (30) Days within which to perform
provided Grantee commences corrective action within fifteen (15) Days and thereafter uses
reasonable diligence, as determined by the City, to correct the violation.
10.10 Grantee’s Right to Pay Prior to Security Fund Draw. Grantee shall have the
opportunity to make prompt payment of any assessed liquidated damages and if Grantee fails to
promptly remit payment to the City, the City may resort to a draw from the security fund in
accordance with the terms of this Franchise.
10.11 Failure to so Replenish Security Fund. If any security fund is not so replaced,
City may draw on said security fund for the whole amount thereof and hold the proceeds,
without interest, and use the proceeds to pay costs incurred by City in performing and paying for
any or all of the obligations, duties and responsibilities of Grantee under this Franchise that are
not performed or paid for by Grantee pursuant hereto, including attorneys’ fees incurred by the
City in so performing and paying. The failure to so replace any security fund may also, at the
option of City, be deemed a default by Grantee under this Franchise. The drawing on the
security fund by City and use of the money so obtained for payment or performance of the
obligations, duties and responsibilities of Grantee which are in default, shall not be a waiver or
release of such default.
10.12 Collection of Funds Not Exclusive Remedy. The collection by City of any
damages or monies from the security fund shall not affect any other right or remedy available to
City, nor shall any act, or failure to act, by City pursuant to the security fund, be deemed a
waiver of any right of City pursuant to this Franchise or otherwise. Notwithstanding this section,
however, should the City elect to impose liquidated damages, that remedy shall remain the City’s
exclusive remedy up to Twenty-five Thousand and No/100 Dollars set forth in Section 10.6.
SECTION 11
DEFAULT
11.1 Basis for Default. City shall give written notice of default to Grantee if City, in
its sole discretion, determines that Grantee has:
(a) Violated any material provision of this Franchise or the acceptance hereto
or any rule, order, regulation or determination of the City, state or federal government,
not in conflict with this Franchise; or
(b) Attempted to evade any material provision of this Franchise or the
acceptance hereof; or
(c) Practiced any fraud or deceit upon City or Subscribers resulting in
material harm; or
(d) Made a material misrepresentation of fact in the application for or
negotiation of this Franchise.
31
8516629v1
11.2 Default Procedure. If Grantee fails to cure such default within thirty (30) Days
after the giving of such notice (or if such default is of such a character as to require more than
thirty (30) Days within which to cure the same, and Grantee fails to commence to cure the same
within said thirty (30) Day period and thereafter fails to use reasonable diligence, in City’s sole
opinion, to cure such default as soon as possible), then, and in any event, such default shall be a
substantial breach and City may elect to terminate the Franchise. The City may place the issue
of revocation and termination of this Franchise before the governing body of City at a regular
meeting. If City decides there is cause or reason to terminate, the following procedure shall be
followed:
(a) City shall provide Grantee with a written notice of the reason or cause for
proposed termination and shall allow Grantee a minimum of thirty (30) Days subsequent
to receipt of the notice in which to correct the default.
(b) Grantee shall be provided with an opportunity to be heard at a public
hearing prior to any decision to terminate this Franchise.
(c) If, after notice is given and an opportunity to cure, at Grantee’s option, a
public hearing is held, and the City determines there was a violation, breach, failure,
refusal or neglect, the City may declare by resolution the Franchise revoked and of no
further force and effect unless there is compliance within such period as the City may fix,
such period may not be less than thirty (30) Days provided no opportunity for compliance
need be granted for fraud or misrepresentation.
11.3 Mediation. If the Grantee and City are unable to resolve a dispute through
informal negotiations during the period of thirty (30) Days following the submission of the claim
giving rise to the dispute by one (1) party to the other, then unless that claim has been waived as
provided in the Franchise, such claim may be subject to mediation if jointly agreed upon by both
parties. Unless the Grantee and City mutually agree otherwise, such mediation shall be in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect at the time
of the mediation. A party seeking mediation shall file a request for mediation with the other
party to the Franchise and with the American Arbitration Association. The request may be made
simultaneously with the filing of a complaint, but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in
advance of legal proceedings only if the other party agrees to participate in mediation. Mutually
agreed upon mediation shall stay other enforcement remedies of the parties for a period of ninety
(90) Days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the Grantee
and City. The Grantee and City shall each pay one-half of the mediator’s fee and any filing fees.
The mediation shall be held in the City unless another location is mutually agreed upon.
Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as a settlement agreement in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing herein shall serve to modify or on any way delay the
franchise enforcement process set forth in Section 10 of this Franchise.
11.4 Failure to Enforce. Grantee shall not be relieved of any of its obligations to
comply promptly with any provision of the Franchise by reason of any failure of the City to
enforce prompt compliance, and City’s failure to enforce shall not constitute a waiver of rights or
acquiescence in Grantee’s conduct.
32
8516629v1
11.5 Compliance with the Laws.
(a) If any federal or state law or regulation shall require or permit City or
Grantee to perform any service or act or shall prohibit City or Grantee from performing
any service or act which may be in conflict with the terms of this Franchise, then as soon
as possible following knowledge thereof, either party shall notify the other of the point in
conflict believed to exist between such law or regulation. Grantee and City shall conform
to state laws and rules regarding cable communications not later than one (1) year after
they become effective, unless otherwise stated, and shall conform to federal laws and
regulations regarding cable as they become effective.
(b) If any term, condition or provision of this Franchise or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder hereof and the application of such term, condition or
provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to whom it shall be held invalid
or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and this Franchise and all the terms,
provisions and conditions hereof shall, in all other respects, continue to be effective and
complied with provided the loss of the invalid or unenforceable clause does not
substantially alter the agreement between the parties. In the event such law, rule or
regulation is subsequently repealed, rescinded, amended, or otherwise changed so that the
provision which had been held invalid or modified is no longer in conflict with the law,
rules, and regulations then in effect, said provision shall thereupon return to full force and
effect and shall thereafter be binding on Grantee and City.
SECTION 12
FORECLOSURE AND RECEIVERSHIP
12.1 Foreclosure. Upon the foreclosure or other judicial sale of the Cable System,
Grantee shall notify the City of such fact and such notification shall be treated as a notification
that a change in control of Grantee has taken place, and the provisions of this Franchise
governing the consent to transfer or change in ownership shall apply without regard to how such
transfer or change in ownership occurred.
12.2 Receivership. The City shall have the right to cancel this Franchise subject to
any applicable provisions of state law, including the Bankruptcy Act, one hundred twenty (120)
Days after the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take over and conduct the business of
Grantee, whether in receivership, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other action or proceeding,
unless such receivership or trusteeship shall have been vacated prior to the expiration of said one
hundred twenty (120) Days, or unless:
(a) Within one hundred twenty (120) Days after his election or appointment,
such receiver or trustee shall have fully complied with all the provisions of this Franchise
and remedied all defaults thereunder; and
(b) Such receiver or trustee, within said one hundred twenty (120) Days, shall
have executed an agreement, duly approved by the Court having jurisdiction in the
33
8516629v1
premises, whereby such receiver or trustee assumes and agrees to be bound by each and
every provision of this Franchise.

transmitted from a Subscriber terminal for purposes of monitoring individual
viewing patterns or practices without the express written permission of the
Subscriber. The request for permission must be contained in a separate document
with a prominent statement that the Subscriber is authorizing the permission in
full knowledge of its provisions. Such written permission shall be for a limited
period of time not to exceed one (1) year which may be renewed at the option of
the Subscriber. No penalty shall be invoked for a Subscriber’s failure to provide
or renew such permission. The permission shall be revocable at any time by the
Subscriber without penalty of any kind whatsoever.
(ii) No information or data obtained by monitoring transmission of a
signal from a Subscriber terminal, including but not limited to lists of the names
and addresses of Subscribers or any lists that identify the viewing habits of
Subscribers shall be sold or otherwise made available to any party other than to
40
8516629v1
Grantee or its agents for Grantee’s business use, and also to the Subscriber subject
of that information, unless Grantee has received specific written permission from
the Subscriber to make such data available. The request for permission must be
contained in a separate document with a prominent statement that the Subscriber
is authorizing the permission in full knowledge of its provisions. Such written
permission shall be for a limited period of time not to exceed one (1) year which
may be renewed at the option of the Subscriber. No penalty shall be invoked for a
Subscriber’s failure to provide or renew such permission. The permission shall be
revocable at any time by the Subscriber without penalty of any kind whatsoever.

SECTION 15
SUBSCRIBER PRACTICES
15.1 Subscriber Rates. There shall be no charge for disconnection of any installation
or outlet. If any Subscriber fails to pay a properly due monthly Subscriber fee, or any other
properly due fee or charge, Grantee may disconnect the Subscriber’s service outlet, provided,
however, that such disconnection shall not be affected until after the later of: (i) forty-five (45)
Days after the original due date of said delinquent fee or charge; or (ii) ten (10) Days after
delivery to Subscriber of written notice of the intent to disconnect. If a Subscriber pays before
expiration of the later of (i) or (ii), Grantee shall not disconnect. After disconnection, upon
payment in full of the delinquent fee or charge and the payment of a reconnection charge,
Grantee shall promptly reinstate the Subscriber’s Cable Service.
15.2 Refunds to Subscribers shall be made or determined in the following
manner:
(a) If Grantee fails, upon request by a Subscriber, to provide any service then
being offered, Grantee shall promptly refund all deposits or advance charges paid for the
service in question by said Subscriber. This provision does not alter Grantee’s
responsibility to Subscribers under any separate contractual agreement or relieve Grantee
of any other liability.
(b) If any Subscriber terminates any monthly service because of failure of
Grantee to render the service in accordance with this Franchise, Grantee shall refund to
such Subscriber the proportionate share of the charges paid by the Subscriber for the
services not received. This provision does not relieve Grantee of liability established in
other provisions of this Franchise.
41
8516629v1
(c) If any Subscriber terminates any monthly service prior to the end of a
prepaid period, a proportionate amount of any prepaid Subscriber service fee, using the
number of days as a basis, shall be refunded to the Subscriber by Grantee.
SECTION 16
COMPENSATION AND FINANCIAL PROVISIONS.
16.1 Franchise Fees.
(a) During the term of the Franchise, Grantee shall pay to the City a Franchise
Fee of five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues. If any such law, regulation, or valid rule
alters the five percent (5%) Franchise Fee ceiling enacted by the Cable Act, then the City
shall have the authority to (but shall not be required to) increase the Franchise Fee,
accordingly, provided such increase is for purposes not inconsistent with Applicable
Law.
(b) In the event Grantee bundles or combines Cable Services (which are
subject to the Franchise Fee) with non-Cable Services (which are not subject to the
Franchise Fee) so that Subscribers pay a single fee for more than one (1) class of service
resulting in a discount on Cable Services, Grantee agrees that for the purpose of
calculation of the Franchise Fee, it shall allocate to Cable Service revenue no less than a
pro rata share of the revenue received for the bundled or combined services. The pro rata
share shall be computed on the basis of the published charge for each service in the
bundled or combined classes of services when purchased separately.
(c) Franchise Fees shall be paid quarterly not later than forty-five (45) Days
following the end of a given quarter. In accordance with Section 16 of this Franchise,
Grantee shall file with the City a Franchise Fee payment worksheet, attached as Exhibit
C, signed by an authorized representative of Grantee, which identifies Gross Revenues
earned by Grantee during the period for which payment is made. No acceptance of any
payment shall be construed as an accord that the amount paid is, in fact, the correct
amount, nor shall such acceptance of payment be construed as a release of any claim
which the City may have for further or additional sums payable under the provisions of
this section.
(d) Neither current nor previously paid Franchise Fees shall be subtracted
from the Gross Revenue amount upon which Franchise Fees are calculated and due for
any period, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
(e) Any Franchise Fees owing pursuant to this Franchise which remain unpaid
more than forty-five (45) Days after the dates specified herein shall be delinquent and
shall thereafter accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum or two percent (2%)
above prime lending rate as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, whichever is greater.
16.2 Auditing and Financial Records. Throughout the term of this Franchise, the
Grantee agrees that the City, upon reasonable prior written notice of twenty (20) Days to the
Grantee, may review such of the Grantee’s books and records regarding the operation of the
Cable System and the provision of Cable Service in the Franchise Area which are reasonably
42
8516629v1
necessary to monitor and enforce Grantee’s compliance with the provisions of this Franchise.
Grantee shall provide such requested information as soon as possible and in no event more than
thirty (30) Days unless Grantee explains that it is not feasible to meet this timeline and provides
a written explanation for the delay and an estimated reasonable date for when such information
will be provided. All such documents pertaining to financial matters that may be the subject of
an inspection by the City shall be retained by the Grantee for a minimum period of six (6) years,
pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 541.05. The Grantee shall not deny the City access to any of the
Grantee’s records on the basis that the Grantee’s records are under the control of any parent
corporation, Affiliated Entity or a third party. The City may request in writing copies of any
such records or books that are reasonably necessary, and the Grantee shall provide such copies
within thirty (30) Days of the receipt of such request. One (1) copy of all reports and records
required under this or any other section shall be furnished to the City at the sole expense of the
Grantee. If the requested books and records are too voluminous, or for security reasons cannot
be copied or removed, then the Grantee may request, in writing within ten (10) Days of receipt of
such request, that the City inspect them at the Grantee’s local offices or at one of Grantee’s
offices more convenient to City or its duly authorized agent. If any books or records of the
Grantee are not kept in such office and not made available in copies to the City upon written
request as set forth above, and if the City determines that an examination of such records is
necessary for the enforcement of this Franchise, then all reasonable travel expenses incurred in
making such examination shall be paid by the Grantee.
16.3 Review of Record Keeping Methodology. Grantee agrees to meet with
representative of the City upon request to review its methodology of record-keeping, financial
reporting, computing Franchise Fee obligations, and other procedures the understanding of
which the City deems necessary for understanding the meaning of reports and records.
16.4 Audit of Records. The City or its authorized agent may at any time and at the
City’s own expense conduct an independent audit of the revenues of Grantee in order to verify
the accuracy of Franchise Fees or PEG Fees paid to the City under this Franchise. Grantee and
each parent company of Grantee shall cooperate fully in the conduct of such audit. In the event
it is determined through such audit that Grantee has underpaid Franchise Fees in an amount of
five percent (5%) or more than was due the City, then Grantee shall reimburse the City for the
entire cost of the audit within thirty (30) days of the completion and acceptance of the audit by
the City.
16.5 Records to be reviewed. The City agrees to request access to only those books
and records, in exercising its rights under this section, which it deems reasonably necessary for
the enforcement and administration of the Franchise.
16.6 Indemnification by Grantee. Grantee shall, at its sole expense, fully indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the City, and in their capacity as such, the officers and employees
thereof, from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, liability and judgments for damage or
otherwise except those arising wholly from negligence on the part of the City or its employees;
for actual or alleged injury to persons or property, including loss of use of property due to an
occurrence, whether or not such property is physically damaged or destroyed, in any way arising
out of or through or alleged to arise out of or through the acts or omissions of Grantee or its
officers, agents, employees, or contractors or to which Grantee’s or its officers, agents,
43
8516629v1
employees or contractors acts or omissions in any way contribute, and whether or not such acts
or omissions were authorized or contemplated by this Franchise or Applicable Law; arising out
of or alleged to arise out of any claim for damages for Grantee’s invasion of the right of privacy,
defamation of any Person, firm or corporation, or the violation of infringement of any copyright,
trademark, trade name, service mark or patent, or of any other right of any Person, firm or
corporation; arising out of or alleged to arise out of Grantee’s failure to comply with the
provisions of any Applicable Law. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the City, its
officers, or its employees from participating in the defense of any litigation by their own counsel
at such parties’ expense. Such participation shall not under any circumstances relieve Grantee
from its duty of defense against liability or of paying any judgment entered against the City, its
officers, or its employees.
16.7 Grantee Insurance. Upon the Effective Date, Grantee shall, at its sole expense
take out and maintain during the term of this Franchise public liability insurance with a company
licensed to do business in the State of Minnesota with a rating by A.M. Best & Co. of not less
than “A-” that shall protect the Grantee, City and its officials, officers, directors, employees and
agents from claims which may arise from operations under this Franchise, whether such
operations be by the Grantee, its officials, officers, directors, employees and agents or any
subcontractors of Grantee. This liability insurance shall include, but shall not be limited to,
protection against claims arising from bodily and personal injury and damage to property,
resulting from Grantee’s vehicles, products, and operations. The amount of insurance for single
limit coverage applying to bodily and personal injury and property damage shall not be less than
Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00). The liability policy shall include:
(a) The policy shall provide coverage on an “occurrence” basis.
(b) The policy shall cover personal injury as well as bodily injury.

universal exclusions of contractual liability included in the carrier’s standard
endorsement as to bodily injuries, personal injuries and property damage.

(e) City shall be named as an additional insured on the policy.

Franchise and that no other insurance maintained by the City will be called upon to
contribute to a loss under this coverage.
(g) Standard form of cross-liability shall be afforded.
(h) An endorsement stating that the policy shall not be canceled without thirty
(30) Days’ notice of such cancellation given to City
(i) City reserves the right to adjust the insurance limit coverage requirements
of this Franchise no more than once every three (3) years. Any such adjustment by City
44
8516629v1
will be no greater than the increase in the State of Minnesota Consumer Price Index (all
consumers) for such three (3) year period.
(j) Upon the Effective Date, Grantee shall submit to City a certificate
documenting the required insurance, as well as any necessary properly executed
endorsements. The certificate and documents evidencing insurance shall be in a form
acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory evidence that Grantee has complied with
all insurance requirements. Renewal certificates shall be provided to City prior to the
expiration date of any of the required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to
review such endorsements or certificates or other evidence of insurance, or to advise
Grantee of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt thereof shall not relieve
Grantee from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to enforce the terms of Grantee’s
obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to examine any policy provided for under
this paragraph or to require further documentation reasonably necessary to form an
opinion regarding the adequacy of Grantee’s insurance coverage.
SECTION 17
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
17.1 Posting and Publication. The Summary of Ordinance for Publication

acceptance of this Franchise.
17.2 Guarantee of Performance. Grantee agrees that it enters into this Franchise

reasonable satisfaction of the other party.

and shall ensure that all such work is performed in compliance with this Franchise, the City Code
and other Applicable Law, and shall be jointly and severally liable for all damages and correcting

46
8516629v1
requirements of this Franchise, the City Code and other Applicable Laws governing the work
performed by them.
17.11 Governing Law. This Franchise is made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter
238 and the City Code and is intended to comply with all requirements set forth therein. This

of the State of Minnesota, as applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely within

comply with any of the provisions of this Franchise by reason of any failure of the City or to

prescribed and fixed herein, the time shall be computed so as to exclude the first and include the

falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, that Day shall be omitted from the computation and
the next business Day shall be the last Day of the period.
17.15 No Waiver. All rights and remedies given to the City by this Franchise or
retained by the City herein shall be in addition to and cumulative with any and all other rights

given by this Franchise or otherwise existing or given may be exercised from time to time and as

that it has had an opportunity to review the terms and conditions of this Franchise and that under

17.17 Survival of Terms. Upon the termination or forfeiture of the Franchise, Grantee
shall no longer have the right to occupy the Streets for the purpose of providing Cable Service.

47
8516629v1
17.18 Competitive Equity
(a) The City reserves the right to grant additional franchises or similar
authorizations to provide Cable Services or Video Programming services via Cable
Systems or other Wireline MVPDs. The City intends to treat Wireline MVPDs in a
nondiscriminatory manner to the extent permissible under Applicable Law. If, following
the Effective Date of this Franchise, the City grants such an additional franchise or
authorization to a Wireline MVPD and Grantee believes the City has done so on terms
materially more favorable than the obligations under this Franchise, then the provisions
of this Section 17.18 will apply.
(b) As part of this Franchise, the City and Grantee have mutually agreed upon
the following terms as a condition of granting the Franchise, which terms may place the
Grantee at a significant competitive disadvantage if not required of a Wireline MVPD:
the obligation to pay to the City a Franchise Fee, Gross Revenues as provided for and
defined in this Franchise, and the obligation to comply with the requirements in this
Franchise regarding PEG funding, PEG Channels, security instruments, audits, remedies,
and customer service obligations (hereinafter "Material Obligations"). The City and
Grantee further agree that this provision shall not require a word for word identical
franchise or authorization for competitive equity so long as the regulatory and financial
burdens on each entity are materially equivalent.
(c) Within one (1) year of the adoption of a Wireline MVPD franchise or
similar authorization, Grantee must notify the City in writing of the Material Obligations
in this Franchise that Grantee believes exceed the Material Obligations of the wireline
competitor's franchise or similar authorization. The City and Grantee agree that they will
use best efforts in good faith to negotiate Grantee's proposed Franchise modifications,
and that such negotiation will proceed and conclude within a ninety (90) Day time period,
unless that time period is reduced or extended by mutual agreement of the parties. If the
City and Grantee reach agreement on the Franchise modifications pursuant to such
negotiations, then the City shall amend this Franchise to include the modifications. If the
City and Grantee fail to reach agreement in such negotiations, Grantee may, at its option,
elect to replace this Franchise by opting into the franchise or other similar lawful
authorization that the City grants to another Wireline MVPD (with the understanding that
Grantee may use its current system design and technology infrastructure to meet any
requirements of the new franchise), so as to ensure that the regulatory and financial
burdens on each entity are equivalent. If Grantee so elects and following the ninety (90)
Day negotiation time period set forth in this paragraph 17.18 (c), the City shall
immediately commence proceedings to replace this Franchise with the franchise issued to
the other Wireline MVPD. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section to the
contrary, the City shall not be obligated to amend or replace this Franchise unless the new
entrant makes Cable Services or similar downstream Video programming service
available for purchase by Subscribers or customers under its franchise agreement with or
similar authorization from the City.
(d) In the event the City disputes that the Material Obligations are different,
Grantee may bring an action in federal or state court for a determination as to whether the
48
8516629v1
Material Obligations are different and as to what franchise amendments would be
necessary to remedy the disparity. Alternatively, Grantee may notify the City that it
elects to immediately commence the renewal process under 47 U.S.C. § 546 and to have
the remaining term of this Franchise shortened to not more than thirty (30) months.
(e) Nothing in this Section 17.18 is intended to alter the rights or obligations
of either party under Applicable Law, and it shall only apply to the extent permitted
under Applicable Law and FCC orders. In no event will the City be required to refund or
to offset against future amounts due the value of benefits already received.
(f) To the extent the City has legal authority to mandate a Cable Service
franchise or similar authorization to a wireless provider of Cable Service, the competitive
equity rights provided by this section shall apply with respect to Material Obligations
imposed in such franchise or other similar agreement. In the event of a dispute regarding
the City's legal authority, Grantee shall have the burden to demonstrate that such
authority exists or does not exist.
17.19 FCC Preemption.
(a) At any time after this Franchise is approved by the City Council, the
Grantee may, if Grantee is legally permitted by Applicable Law, provide the City with a
written list of “in-kind cable-related contributions” (as that term is defined by the FCC in
the Section 621 Order) that the Franchise requires Grantee to provide (including but not
limited to the Complimentary Service requirements in Section 6.8) and the incremental
cost(s) associated with the provision of the in-kind cable-related contributions. Within
one hundred and twenty (120) days of receiving the aforementioned list, the City will
notify the Grantee whether, with respect to each identified in-kind cable-related
contribution, the Grantee is relieved, or temporarily relieved, of its obligations or is
required to comply, subject either to the Grantee taking an offset to the Franchise Fee
payments payable under Section 16.1 as may be permitted by the Section 621 Order or to
the Grantee and the City agreeing to a separately negotiated charge payable by the City to
the Grantee.
(b) In the event the Section 621 Order is stayed or overturned in whole or in
part by action of the FCC, the City and the Grantee will meet promptly to discuss what
impact such action has on the provision of the in-kind cable-related contributions to
which this section applies. It is the intent of the parties that the City shall be treated by
the Grantee in a reasonably comparable manner as other jurisdictions within the Twin
Cities Region with respect to any offsets or charges imposed by Grantee for the provision
of Complimentary Service. Nothing herein waives the City’s right to enforce Grantee’s
compliance with all lawful obligations contained in this Franchise.
17.20 Treatment of Negotiated Provisions. For the term of this Franchise any costs
incurred by Grantee pursuant to Sections 7.2(c), 7.5(c), 7.8, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12, 7.13, 7.16(b),
7.17, 7.18, 7.19, 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3, shall be treated by Grantee as Grantee’s business
expense and not a Franchise Fee under Sections 1.23 and 16.1 of this Franchise or as a PEG
Fee under Section 7.15 of this Franchise. Grantee reserves any rights it may have to recover
49
8516629v1
from Subscribers, as a separate line item from the PEG Fee in Section 7.15 of this Franchise,
any PEG capital costs set forth in Section 7.2(a) and (c), 7.8, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12, 7.14 and 7.16 as
may be permitted by Applicable Law as of the Effective Date.

Background Information
In 1992, the City Council initiated a program to provide student residents in Eden Prairie with
the opportunity to serve on City Commissions as non-voting members. The program has grown
and changed over time to reflect modifications made to the City’s Commissions, the addition of
Commissions eligible for student appointments, and the desire to include more students in the
program.
