Getschow explained the property at 11840 Valley View Road is currently owned by UNFI. Eden Prairie School District has contracted to purchase the property at 11840 Valley View Road and is requesting that the property be reguided and rezoned to allow the property to be used for school purposes. There won’t be any changes to the site itself. He added the Planning Commission voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the project. Klima pointed out the proposed action is to change the Guide Plan and any additional changes to the property would need to be reviewed by the Council.
Freiberg asked why the change is being requested while the purchase is still pending. Klima explained it is fairly common for purchases to be contingent upon City allowances. Getschow noted a presentation was provided by the applicant to the Planning
Commission. The main uses will be the Tassel Program and restarting their alternative learning center. There were no comments from the audience.
