Department: Office of the City Manager/Liquor Operations ITEM DESCRIPTION Eden Prairie Liquor Dollar Drive for PROP REQUESTED ACTION Liquor Operations Manager to present check to PROP. SUMMARY Throughout the month of November, the City's three municipal liquor stores partnered with the PROP food shelf and invited customers to donate to the food shelf. Eden Prairie Liquor stores held a Dollar Drive inviting customers to contribute just $1 each time they visited. We would like to thank Eden Prairie Liquor patrons for their generosity. Additionally, the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association and Miller Lite held an Annual Food Drive to Promote Community Value. The municipal liquor store with the highest weight donated ($1 donation = 3 lb. of food) earned a $1,000 donation to their local food shelf. The Prairie View Liquor store was the winner of this donation. Together, these efforts, plus the $1,000 donation, raised a total of $12,593.31 for the PROP food shelf. The City's three municipal liquor stores partnered with PROP to give back to the community. PROP’s mission is to compassionately provide food and comprehensive support to people in Eden Prairie and Chanhassen who are facing financial hardship or crisis to create a path toward greater self-sufficiency. Their primary services include a food shelf, short-term financial help, support for low-income families with children and teens, and support for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Case, Mayor on behalf of Council Members: Kathy Nelson Mark Freiberg PG Narayanan Lisa Toomey Unapproved Minutes Eden Prairie City Council Workshop 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025 City Center Heritage Rooms, Council Chambers 8080 Mitchell Road Eden Prairie, MN 55344 ATTENDEES City Council Members: Mayor Ron Case, Council Members Kathy Nelson, Mark Freiberg, PG Narayanan, and Lisa Toomey City Staff: City Manager Rick Getschow, Public Works Director Robert Ellis, Community Development Director Julie Klima, Parks and Recreation Director Amy Markle, Police Chief Matt Sackett, Fire Chief Scott Gerber, Administrative Services/HR Director Alecia Rose, Communications Manager Joyce Lorenz, City Attorney Maggie Neuville, and Recorder Sara Potter Guest Speakers: Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Fierce, Sustainability Commission Chair Aaron Poock, Community Services Manager Paja Xiong, Human Rights and Diversity Commission Chair Greg Leeper, Human Rights and Diversity Commission Members Babar Khan and Savannah Riese MEETING AGENDA Heritage Rooms I.Sustainability Commission Work Plan 5:30 to 6 p.m. Case welcomed members from the Sustainability and Human Rights and Diversity Commissions. Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Fierce introduced Sustainability Commission (SC) Chair Aaron Poock. Poock highlighted commission members and student members and their involvement. Poock next summarized the SC’s 2024 accomplishments including implementing the Climate Action Plan to promote emission reduction strategies. The Going Electric Showcase has expanded to electric lawn equipment and bikes. The Renewable Energy Challenge encourages residents to participate in community solar subscriptions or installing solar panels. The City received a solar on public buildings grant from the State for rooftop solar at Fire Station 1. Poock explained the City replaced the level two electric vehicle charging stations at City Center with two fast chargers and was awarded a bronze designation through the Charging Smart program. Case asked how the City is notifying potential users of the fast chargers. Fierce stated CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 2 there are maps displaying the location and type of electric vehicle chargers in the area. The chargers have had steady use since their installation. Toomey asked how much a full charge costs using the fast charger. Fierce stated it costs $0.35 a kilowatt hour, roughly $15 for a full charge. If staff need to charge a City vehicle, the payment system can be bypassed. Poock summarized the SC’s 2025 goals including expanding exposure for the Climate Action Plan and the Electrify Everything Minnesota event. The SC will continue hosting the Going Electric Showcase, and potentially pair it with another City event to increase attendance. Additionally, the SC will research the requirements to upgrade the City’s Charging Smart designation to gold. The SC will research offering a commercial energy squad program for small businesses. The City was awarded a second solar on public buildings grant from the State for rooftop solar on the den road liquor store. Case asked if the solar energy savings will be shared with the building tenants. Fierce confirmed the City receives one electric bill for the building, the savings could be pass onto the tenants. Poock stated there are several recycling events planned for 2025 including the Drop Off Recycling Event, a Fix It Clinic, and free compost giveaways at Arbor Day. Student commissioners are planning a clothing swap for the school community. Freiberg asked for further information on the Fix It Clinic. Poock explained the Fix It Clinic is held in partnership with Hennepin County. Volunteers assist in fixing items such as vacuum cleaners, toasters, and lamps to divert waste. Case noted much progress at the state and municipal level for renewable energy. There may be a few setbacks in the coming years, but it is unlikely to slow down. The Council Members thanked the commission members for their assistance and expertise. II. Human Rights and Diversity Commission Work Plan 6 to 6:30 p.m. Community Services Manager Paja Xiong introduced Human Rights and Diversity Commission (HRDC) Chair Greg Leeper and HRDC Members Babar Khan and Savannah Riese. Khan summarized commission members and student members and their involvement. The HRDC is involved in many community engagement activities including an Iftar celebration, the Words in Action contest, Human Rights Awards, and PeopleFest. The HRDC also participates in events including Party for Pride, Pop-up Splash Pads, and the Citywide Open House. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 3 Khan explained the HRDC has hosted several groups for presentations including City staff presenting on disability and inclusion services, voter engagement and accessibility, Race Equity Initiatives, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion foundational language. There have also been presentations from the PROP Shop and an Assistant United States Attorney on The Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Fair Housing Act. Riese stated the HRDC began the year with an anonymous survey to help determine future initiatives. Based off survey results, the HRDC will focus on engaging with BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) youth and the LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transexual) community. Additional areas of focus include creating community conversations sessions around high interest topics and continuing involvement in legacy events including PeopleFest, Words in Action, the Human Rights Award, and Iftar. Toomey asked if the HRDC has noticed changes in interactions with the community. Leeper answered Peoplefest attendance has significantly increased. Additionally there has been an increase in applications to serve on HRDC, especially diverse applicants. Members of the BIPOC community now make up 51% of Eden Prairie Schools attendees from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Freiberg asked how many student commission members are serving on HRDC. Leeper confirmed there are eight student commission members. HRDC members work hard to challenge students. Student members engage in meetings and help plan events. Leeper noted the HRDC celebrates, educates, or builds community around diversity and inclusion. The HRDC has focused on reviewing legacy events to determine which events are strong and warrant more focus, and which events can be sunset to better direct efforts elsewhere. Case asked the HRDC for an update on Race Equity Implementation progress. Leeper noted the City has an online Race Equity Implementation dashboard that is kept up-to-date with progress on various initiatives. Case asked for a brief update on Race Equity Implementation at an upcoming Council Workshop. Case noted similar to sustainability, DEI initiatives may disappear at a federal level over the next few years. It is important this work is continued at state and municipal levels. Case expressed the Council’s support for the HRDC. Although the City cannot contribute financially to religious CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 4 celebrations, the HRDC and the City can still partner with and highlight such events. Case noted his interest in growing the party for pride event. The Council thanked the HRDC Members for their time and efforts. Leeper noted the HRDC’s thanks for Xiong’s assistance.

Approve first reading of Ordinance for zoning district changes on 32.11 acres and PUD district review with waivers on 8.03 acres, adopt Resolution No. 2025-017 for guide plan change from CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 3 low-density residential to medium-density residential on 9.78 acres and from low- density residential to parks & open space on 12.78 acres, adopt Resolution No. 2025-018 for PUD concept plan on 8.03 acres, adopt Resolution No. 2025-019 for preliminary plat on 32.11 acres, and adopt Resolution No. 2025-020 supporting park dedication Getschow explained the subject property is located at 9905 Dell Road, and currently has a single-family dwelling, agricultural buildings, farmland, and private open space. The City has received land use applications requesting approvals necessary to subdivide the 32.11-acre parcel into 15 single-family lots, a lot for a 100-unit multi-family stacked townhome project, and several outlots for stormwater management and preserved open space. Klima provided a brief overview of the project and reviewed the development plan. She noted some updates had been implemented since the Planning Commission public hearing such as the shifting of single-family homes to the west, a reduction in the size of the community gardens, the creation of an additional buffer area between the development and existing homes to the north, and reducing the number of lot width waivers by two and lot area waivers by six. She also showed the landscaping plans. Ellis showed a table and map depicting traffic disbursement. On a daily basis, around 900 trips would be generated in and out of the site. He showed maps of traffic volumes broken down roads. He explained the Intersection Level of Service (LOS) measurement, the current ratings, and the 2027 potential ratings. He added stop signs are recommended for Crestwood at Laforet Drive. Case asked if Staff anticipate more traffic heading south out of the neighborhood once Dell is updated. Ellis stated they predict 200 new trips will use Dell once it is updated. Case asked if there are options to route cars differently should it be an issue. Elli explained the updated type of road is intended to adopt that level of traffic, and there aren’t options for alternative routes. Toomey asked if Dell will be regraded. Ellis stated the grades will improve slightly, as will the sharpness of the corners. Kelsey Thompson, Lake West Development at 14525 MN-7 #265, thanked the various parties that have participated in the process. She reviewed the development timeline and noted construction is planned to start in the summer. She detailed concerns expressed by neighbors at the Planning Commission public hearing and the developer’s subsequent alterations. Cody Dietrich, Lake West Development at 14525 MN-7 #265, provided details on the community garden and noted about 60 percent of the lot’s green space will be maintained. He listed and showed renderings of the planned amenities. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 4 Case asked how much support the solar panels will provide. Mr. Dietrich stated they estimate half of the communal space’s electric costs will be covered by solar. Mr. Dietrich also showed examples of the proposed floor plans. Freiberg asked what the difference is between stacked townhomes and condos. Mr. Dietrich explained they are trying to maintain the height of townhome settings while prioritizing single-level living. Ms. Thompson added there is no central lobby space like a condo would have. Case asked if there were plans for lots to be carved out for the sellers. Mr. Dietrich stated there was an initial plan to preserve the home. However, the Dell Road improvements made it difficult. Just under 13 acres are dedicated to the City, and the Parks and Recreation Department are working to add trails to that area. Toomey asked if there will be additional soundproofing due to the site’s proximity to the airport. Mr. Dietrich stated they will prioritize soundproofing through material selection and high-quality windows because the townhome units are close to one another, and the units are intended to be owned rather than rented. The same quality of materials will be used in the single-family homes. Sounds of an airplane are likely to be muffled. Katherine Becker, 9688 Geisler Road, stated she is concerned with the traffic impacts. Another development site’s traffic impacts were not included in traffic calculations for the proposed development. The style of development is called a “tsunami” nationally. The population and housing density seriously increase the risk of fires. She provided statistics on fire incidents and detailed fire events throughout the country. Beth Reese, 9744 LaForet Drive, noted her appreciation of the positive changes. However, another concern has yet to be addressed. There are three exits from the condominiums, but the middle exit point needs to be moved closer to Dell rather than so close to LaForet. Mr. Dietrich explained the central and west driveways access the ground parking. The underground access is from the east and west driveways. The middle access point is necessary for fire safety. Cindy Leverenz, 9703 Geisler Road, stated the traffic impacts and density of the proposed development. The presentation showed the decreased traffic impacts throughout Dell. However, Dell itself also becomes smaller and slower at the same rate. The existing site is low-density, and the proposal is on the upper end of medium-density. The density is highly unusual as it lacks proximity to shopping or public transportation. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 5 Case asked for Staff to comment on the traffic concerns mentioned. Ellis noted the Pulte development’s traffic is mostly on Pioneer Trail. As for Dell Road, it can handle around 6,000 vehicles per day (vpd) near Hwy 62, and the projections show only 3,100 vpd. While the Pulte project’s traffic impacts may not be included in the projections, it would not generate more traffic than Dell was built to handle. Nelson asked what the average cost of the condominiums would be. Mr. Dietrich stated the condos will cost $850,000 to $1.2 million. The villas will be $1.1 to $1.5 million. The target market is empty nesters, and they anticipate less traffic impacts than the typical calculations. Nelson pointed out that anyone who may live in the proposed development is choosing to be there due to the price point. Richard Koppy, 9872 Crestwood Terrace, commended the developer for listening to the public comments. The plan is reasonable and high-quality, though he would favor a lower density. He pointed out the speed of the traffic isn’t being considered. The dirt road slows people down, after Dell Road is refinished traffic will speed up. He added a lot of trees and hills are being removed around Dell. He requested the Council consider maintaining the beautiful landscaping of the road. Mr. Koppy noted the traffic on Crestwood will more than double, which is a concern for himself and his neighbors. He added there are many beautiful trails in the area. The City needs to prioritize a plan for trails on the site. MOTION: Toomey moved, seconded by Freiberg. to close the public hearing. Motion carried 4-0. Case explained the progression of the development and its proposals. He explained the priorities of the Council and how they are incorporated into the project. Case acknowledged he has strong opinions on fire prevention due to personal experience. The condos would have sprinklers, and the Eden Prairie Fire Department is well-funded and fully staffed. Case noted single-family homes geared toward younger families would generate much more traffic than the proposed units. Nearby existing homes were once an apple orchard, and their neighborhoods increased traffic when they were built. The site will generate additional traffic at some point, but the City has prepared the roads to handle the increases. Toomey stated the environmental impact studies have been completed and no heritage trees are being removed. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 6 Nelson added it is important to protect the bluffs, and the proposal considers safety of its future residents. As for trails, Eden Prairie will add trail plans to their operations once they own their portion of the site. Nelson pointed out the developer has been extremely responsive to public comments, and they are very considerate. Freiberg noted his appreciation of the site design and the most recent edits. The potential traffic capacity is suitable for the roads. He asked if the speeding on Dell could be addressed. Case stated the digital speed signs have been helpful to address speeding concerns throughout Eden Prairie. Toomey stated the natural curves of the road will help decrease the speed. Ellis agreed the curves help to decrease speeding. The grade will also remain non-flat which reduces speed. The dynamic speed signs are beneficial, as noted by Mayor Case. Also, Staff plans to do speed data collection on the new Dell. MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Freiberg, to adopt Resolution No. 2025- 017 for a guide plan change from Low-Density Residential to Medium Density Residential on 9.78 acres and from Low-Density Residential to Parks and Open Space on 12.78 acres, adopt Resolution No. 2025-018 for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Review on 8.03 acres, approve the first reading of an Ordinance for a PUD District Review with waivers on 8.03 acres and zoning district changes from Rural to R1-9.5 on 8.03 acres, Rural to RM-2.5 on 9.78 acres, and Rural to Parks and Open Space on 12.78 acres, adopt a Resolution No. 2025-019 for a preliminary plat of one parcel into 16 lots and five outlets on 32.11 acres, adopt a Resolution No. 2025-020 in support of park dedication fees on 32.11 acres, and direct Staff to prepare Development Agreement incorporating staff and Commission recommendations and Council conditions. Motion carried 4-0. IX. Payment of Claims MOTION: Toomey moved, seconded by Freiberg, to approve the payment of claims as submitted. Motion was approved on a roll call vote, with Freiberg, Nelson, Toomey, and Case voting “aye.” X. Ordinances and Resolutions A. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-021 accepting bids and awarding contracts for the Police Department and City Office remodel project Getschow explained City of Eden Prairie has been working toward the remodel of the west side of City Center to house the Eden Prairie Police Department, providing additional space for future growth and functionality for the department. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 7 The renovation will also centralize all city functions, including meeting rooms, on a single level for improved accessibility. Kraus-Anderson is the Construction Manager and BKV Group is the Architect for the Project. Michael Healy, representative of BKV Group, reviewed the project goals and provided a design overview for the overall building use. All department offices will be relocated to one level for improved public accessibility and wayfinding. Case asked what will happen to the Garden Room. Getschow stated the Garden Room will be recreated with the same square footage on the main level. Case asked how the leasable area will be renovated before or after finding tenants. Getschow confirmed the City would wait to do renovations until after tenants are secured. Mr. Healy showed the site plan and landscaping. The secure parking area will be safer and more accessible. He explained the floor plan for each level of the Police Department. Case asked if the existing stairs and elevator will remain to access the leasable area. Getschow stated there are no current plans to change the stairs and elevator. Nelson asked if the restaurant will be relocated. Getschow noted the restaurant has primarily been off-site catering. It already has plans to relocate. Freiberg asked if the growth of potential City employees is limited by allocating so much space to the Police Department. Getschow explained the floor plans and overall renovation is intended to last for at least 20 years. Mr. Healy showed conceptual renderings of the interiors and detailed the art and historical components. Dan Kjellberg, representative of Kraus-Anderson, explained bids were opened on December 18, 2024. The project received a robust response resulting in 108 competitive bids, which were received and verified. The bid documents invited bids on four alternates for the project, of which Staff recommends proceeding with Alternate #2, Shielded Modular Enclosure (Faraday room). Kraus-Anderson has reviewed and tabulated the bids, and their recommendation of the lowest responsible bidder for each scope of work was provided to the City. Mr. Kjellberg noted funding for the project will come from Five-Year Capital Improvement Bonds in the amount of $26.5 million, the issuance of which was preliminarily approved by the Council at the December 3, 2024 meeting. Final issuance and approval of the Bonds will occur at a later date. He detailed the project schedule and the next steps of the process. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA January 21, 2025 Page 8 Chief Sackett explained the Police Department is lacking office space among other spaces, so the new Department is much needed. The design focuses on collaboration and being at the forefront of policing. The security measures and improved parking opportunities will greatly benefit the fleet. Case pointed out the road accesses are more efficient and safer. The new layout will improve safety for officers and staff. Plus, the covered parking will have a huge impact, and the resources for investigations will be valuable to the community. Chief Sackett agreed with the points made by Mayor Case and noted the improved spaces and resources will improve recruitment and retention of officers. Nelson thanked the police for their service to the community.

City Council Agenda Cover Memo Date: Feb. 4, 2025 Section: Consent Calendar Item Number: VII.C. Department: Public Works/Engineering – Patrick Sejkora, Water Resources Engineer ITEM DESCRIPTION Approve Policy on Removal of Sediment from Public Stormwater Ponds REQUESTED ACTION Move to: Approve Policy on Removal of Sediment from Public Stormwater Ponds SUMMARY The purpose of this policy is to describe the City’s priorities and processes for the removal of sediment from the City’s stormwater basins. The City maintains approximately 800 stormwater basins that treat urban runoff, many of which are in close proximity to residences. The ponds provide a water quality benefit by allowing sediment to settle prior to being discharged to lakes, creeks, and rivers. This policy outlines the two objectives that the City considers when evaluating possible sediment removal from a pond: water quality improvement and storm sewer systems maintenance. The policy also outlines considerations for construction access and property restoration associated with pond sediment removal. ATTACHMENTS Policy on Removal of Sediment from Public Stormwater Ponds Date 02-04-2025 Policy on Removal of Sediment from Public Stormwater Ponds Problem Statement: The City of Eden Prairie maintains approximately 800 public stormwater basins as part of its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. There are many other ponds that receive private drainage or a mixture of public and private drainage. Many of these basins are wet ponds that retain water, which have either been constructed in upland areas with development or are historic wetlands with stormwater discharging directly to them. Over time, these ponds accumulate sediment. They also support aquatic vegetation, including but not limited to duckweed, cattails, and filamentous algae. Currently, there is no formal policy that provides guidance on managing the removal of accumulated sediment from City ponds. The lack of a policy makes it difficult for staff to determine a priority order among ponds requiring sediment removal and determine when to proceed with engineering design and construction, both of which can be resource-intensive endeavors. It is proposed that a policy be developed that clearly defines the City’s role and responsibility in managing this work. Definitions: For purposes of this policy, the following definitions apply: Active Role – Either ordering others to make improvements at their cost or causing them to be made at the City’s expense. Constructed Pond – A pond that was constructed with development in an area that was historically dry upland. Dredging – The removal of accumulated sediment from a pond (constructed pond or stormwater wetland), ideally to its designed bottom elevation. Facilitating Role – Participating in a discussion amongst property owners in an effort to help them recognize the drainage issue, its cause, and possible solutions. Impaired Waterbody – A body of water that does not meet total suspended solids or nutrient water quality standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Date 02-04-2025 Pond –Any basin that receives stormwater discharges and is intended to retain a normal pool of water at all times. This includes constructed ponds and stormwater wetlands. It does not include infiltration basins, filtration basins, dry ponds, rain gardens, lakes, or streams. Sediment – Material that has deposited in a pond Stormwater Wetland – A wetland area that, to the best of the City’s knowledge, was present prior to development but has storm sewer discharges into it. Policy: To determine the City’s role in a potential pond sediment removal project, the individual investigating the pond must consider the origin of the runoff directed to the pond and/or the manner it is being conveyed. When the discharges to the pond originates from within city owned property, public right-of-way or waters of the state, then the City plays an active role in resolving the matter. Conversely, if discharges directed to the pond originate primarily from private property and are not being routed through a public drainage system, then the City acts in a facilitating role. In the latter situation, the City does not participate in pond sediment removal design or construction costs. If facilitation is not working to resolve the issue, private property owners may need to pursue a private remedy such as private mediation, arbitration or civil litigation. If the pond receives a mix of discharges from the City storm system and private storm systems, partnership opportunities will be evaluated. Due to the large number of publicly maintained ponds, there is a need for the City to establish parameters for prioritizing the sediment removal from publicly-maintained ponds. The two objectives considered by the City for dredging a pond are: • Water quality improvement. Since 2010, the City has undertaken an ongoing phased pond inventory program in which accumulated sediment in ponds is measured and potential water quality improvements from dredging or other corrective actions are evaluated. Ponds are then assigned a priority based on a ranking of water quality benefits from dredging or other corrective action. This pond inventory program will serve as the primary driver for the City to identify which ponds are priorities to dredge for water quality benefits. Inventoried ponds with a high possible water quality benefit will be given greater priority for dredging projects compared to ponds receiving a medium priority or lower. Ponds within subwatersheds of impaired waterbodies with a waste load allocation are of higher priority for water-quality related dredging than ponds in non-impaired subwatersheds. Ponds in areas that have not been inventoried may be dredged at the City’s discretion if significant maintenance concerns exist. Otherwise, dredging on these ponds should be postponed until they have been inventoried so water quality benefits can be evaluated and the pond’s priority determined. • Storm sewer systems maintenance. Accumulated sediment within a pond can obstruct the flow of storm sewer pipes that discharge to or drain a pond. The City Date 02-04-2025 will dredge the accumulated material to restore the free flow of water through the storm sewer system. In some cases, this may only require targeted dredging in the vicinity of the pond inlets and outlets. In other cases where sediment accumulation is pervasive throughout the pond, the entirety of the pond may need to be dredged to restore flow. Additionally, in no particular order, considerations made by the City as potential pond dredging projects are evaluated include: • All proposed dredged areas within a pond must have reasonable access points to reach and remove the sediment using typical construction equipment (excavators, backhoes, skid steers, and dump trucks). Access can come directly from the right of way, through City drainage and utility easements, or over temporary easements through private property. All access must be reasonably unobstructed, unless a negotiated agreement is reached to allow for removal and/or replacement of obstructions. If access to all or parts of the pond cannot be reasonably obtained through those means, the pond may either only be dredged at points with available access or not dredged at all. • Constructed ponds are generally more feasible to dredge compared to historic stormwater wetlands as they often have lined bottoms of compacted material from which machinery may be able to more easily operate from and excavate to. Additionally, if the pond is listed as a public water wetland by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or determined to be “waters of the U.S.” by the Army Corps of Engineers, the permitting associated with the dredging is significantly more complicated and costly and will be pursued at the City’s discretion. During and after a pond dredging project, other matters of awareness for adjacent residents include: • Dredging is an inherently disruptive process that disturbs areas around the pond. This disturbance could include impacts to trees, shrubs, turf, riprap, fences, irrigation systems, and other improvements around a pond. If these improvements are in drainage and utility easements and would hinder future access, they may not be restored within the easement. The City will notify property owners prior to disturbance if these situations exist. • Due to the permitting process with the City or Watershed District, there may be restrictions on the types of vegetation allowable for restoration around stormwater wetlands. These projects also may impose current rules of City and/or Watershed District including buffer requirements. • The City is not obligated to replace or avoid improvements within drainage and utility easements. This may include but is not limited to fences, shrubs, trees, perennials, sheds, retaining walls, and rip rap. Property owners place these items in drainage and utility easements at their own risk. • If ponds experiencing illegal dumping of sediment, yard waste, or refuse are dredged, the City may pursue special assessments against property owner(s) contributing to the illegal dumping. Date 02-04-2025 Upon commencing construction, the pond dredging may encounter conditions within the pond that were unexpected and complicate dredging operations. Additionally, weather conditions during construction may complicate dredging operations. When unexpected weather or conditions within the pond are experienced, the City may opt to limit dredging operations if the budget is exceeded or focus on areas of the pond more critical to storm sewer maintenance and water quality improvement. The City does not dredge ponds for the following reasons: • Aesthetic considerations, including but not limited to fallen branches and trees and to accommodate the potential installation of private fountains or aeration systems. • Maintenance of vegetation including but not limited to, duckweed, filamentous algae, and overgrowth of native aquatic vegetation. In particular, duckweed is a native plant that is common and prolific within many City ponds. Dredging is not conducted to reduce vegetation, nor is dredging anticipated to limit vegetation within a pond. Similarly, the City does not chemically treat ponds for vegetation management, nor install fountains, aeration systems, or bubblers within public stormwater ponds. • Flood storage. Dredging sediment accumulated below the normal water level of a pond will not provide flood storage or prevention benefits. The normal water level is set by the pond’s outlet (a culvert, ditch, storm structure, or weir), and it is assumed that all volume below the outlet will be continuously filled with water. Thus, any dredging of material below the normal water level does not result in additional floodplain storage capacity.

Department: Community Development / Planning Julie Klima / Beth Novak-Krebs ITEM DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval to build two industrial buildings on a 14.35-acre property located at 6131 Blue Circle Drive. The property was previously occupied by American Family Insurance, and the Council approved a one building development on the property in July, 2024. The property is in the far northeast corner of the City between the west bound on ramp to Highway 62 from Highway 212 and the northern city limits. REQUESTED ACTION Move to close the public hearing and: • Adopt a Resolution approving a Preliminary Plat dividing one lot into two lots on 14.35 acres • Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission recommendations and Council conditions • Authorize the issuance of an early Land Alteration Permit for Nexus Innovation Center II at the request of the Developer subject to the conditions outlined in the permit SUMMARY On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved a zoning change and a Site Plan for one building that was 185,733 square feet on the property. The applicant is now proposing two buildings, one 92,224 square feet and the other 82,006 square feet. The two buildings together are a total of 174,230 square feet, which is smaller than the original single building. The application also includes a request to approve a preliminary plat dividing the property into two lots. The property is guided Industrial Flex Tech and zoned Industrial-2 (I-2). The applicant has indicated that they have a prospective tenant for building 1 but no specific tenant for building 2. At this time, the applicant anticipates that each of the buildings will include some office and warehousing space similar to the previously approved plan. Office and warehouse uses are permitted in the I-2 Zoning District. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project at its January 13, 2025 meeting and recommended approval of the project with vote of 8-0. SITE PLAN The Site Plan is similar to the previously approved plan for the single building. Access to the site, the orientation and placement of the buildings, the location of the loading docks and parking, and the surface stormwater management areas are all generally similar to the previously approved site plan shown below. The new proposal is different from the approved site plan in that they are proposing parking between the two buildings including some fenced secured parking for building 1. The plan also includes some underground stormwater chambers north of proposed building 2 and between the two buildings. The applicant is proposing a Preliminary Plat to divide the lot into two lots (one lot for each building). The property line runs between the two buildings. The two lots meet the minimum standards for lots within the I-2 Zoning District, including building and parking setbacks. PARKING Both sites exceed the parking requirements based on the speculative uses within the buildings, through the development of actual and proof of parking spaces. The Planning Commission staff report describes the parking requirements and proposal in further detail. A potential user for building 1 has a need for secure parking of vehicles. As shown on the plans, a section of the parking lot on the northeast corner of building 1 is fenced and gated with employee access with a key fob. This area may be used for secure parking of vehicles only and may not be used for outdoor storage. The applicant is proposing a composite wood fence, light brown in color, which is consistent with the ordinance amendments to Chapter 9 regarding fence material. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS The building architecture, materials and colors proposed on the two new buildings are the same as the previously approved single building for the Nexus project. The applicant breaks up the long facades with recesses and projections, roofline variation, changes in building material and colors, and the placement of windows. The main entrances to the building are emphasized through the use of mostly glass at the first level and above the entry, cultured stone and canopies/sun shades. The building materials meet the code requirements. Previous Elevation LANDSCAPING AND TREE REPLACEMENT The landscaping requirement is 1,160 caliper inches. The Landscape Plan complies with the requirements and includes trees, shrubs, and perennials. The applicant will meet the tree replacement through the payment in lieu option for tree replacement. SUSTAINABILITY Though not subject to the Building Sustainability Standards, the applicant is proposing to incorporate the same sustainable features and practices as the previously approved plan. They include: • Participate in the Energy Design Assistance Program • Incorporate EV charging. A minimum of 2% of parking spaces will accommodate EV charging stations or to an EV ready standard. The Site Plan includes 7 EV parking stalls for building 1 and 3 EV parking stalls for building 2. • Design the building so it can support future installation of solar panels ATTACHMENTS Resolution for Preliminary Plat PC Staff Report Planning Commission Minutes Revised Elevation CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2025-___ RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF NEXUS FOR ENDEAVOR DEVELOPMENT BE IT RESOLVED, by the Eden Prairie City Council as follows: That the preliminary plat of the parcel(s) legally described in Exhibit A attached, named NEXUS for Endeavor Development stamp dated January 29, 2025, and consisting of 14.35 acres into 2 lots, a copy of which is on file at the City Hall, is found to be in conformance with the provisions of the Eden Prairie Zoning and Platting ordinances, and amendments thereto, and is herein approved, subject to approval of a Site Plan Review and approval of the Development Agreement. ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on the 4th day of February, 2025. _______________________________ Ronald A.

The property was previously occupied by American Family Insurance. The property is in the far northeast corner of the City between the west bound on ramp to Highway 62 from Highway 212 and the northern city limits. On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved a Site Plan for one building that was 185,733 square feet on the property. Now the applicant is proposing a 92,224 square foot building and a second building that would be 82,006 square feet. The two buildings together are a total of 174,230 square feet, which is smaller than the original single building. Given the changes to the site plan and the addition of a preliminary plat, the project must go through the approval process again. REQUESTED ACTIONS • Preliminary Plat dividing one lot into two lots on 14.35 acres • Site Plan Review on 14.35 acres BACKGROUND ZONING The current zoning of the property is Industrial (I-2). On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved the rezoning of the property. The I-2 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, where it is guided Industrial Flex Tech . The applicant has indicated that they have a prospective tenant for building 1 but no specific tenant for building 2. At this time, the applicant anticipates that each of the buildings will include some office and warehousing space similar to the previously approved plan. Office and warehouse uses are permitted in the I-2 Zoning District. Staff Report – Nexus Innovation Center II Page 2 SITE PLAN The properties to the north are located in the City of Minnetonka in the area known the Opus Business Park. The business park has a mix of uses including the Opus Light Rail Station, residential, office, industrial, and commercial. The property to the east is occupied by a systems engineering company in Eden Prairie, the property to the west is a vacant wooded lot in Eden Prairie and the land to the south is Highways 62 and 212. The Site Plan is similar to the previously approved plan for the single building. Access to the site, the orientation and placement of the buildings, the location of the loading docks and parking, and the surface stormwater management areas are all generally similar to the previously approved site plan shown below. Previously Approved Proposed New Staff Report – Nexus Innovation Center II Page 3 The new proposal is different from the approved site plan in that they are proposing parking between the two buildings including some fenced secured parking for building 1. The plan also includes some underground stormwater chambers north of proposed building 2 and between the two buildings. PRELIMINARY PLAT The new proposal includes a preliminary plat subdividing the existing lot into two lots. The property line runs between the two buildings. The two lots meet the minimum standards for lots within the I-2 Zoning District, including building and parking setbacks. Given the location of the property line, the owners of each lot will have to enter into a shared access agreement to use the drive lane between the buildings to access the parking on their individual lots. PARKING The number of parking stalls is based on speculative uses within each of the two buildings. The applicant assumes 30,000 square feet of office and 77,000 square feet of warehouse space for building 1. This requires 189 parking stalls. The plan includes 171 stalls plus 28 “Proof of Parking” stalls for a total of 199 stalls. The applicant assumes 22,322 square feet of office space and 60,684 square feet of warehouse space for building 2. This requires 141 parking stalls. The plan includes 134 parking stalls plus 13 “Proof of Parking” stalls for a total of 147 stalls. A potential user for building 1 has a need for secure parking of vehicles. As shown on the plans, a section of the parking lot on the northeast corner of building 1 is fenced and gated, but the parking stalls can be used as employee parking with a key fob. This area should be used for secure parking of vehicles only and may not be used for outdoor Proposed Preliminary Plat Staff Report – Nexus Innovation Center II Page 4 storage. In the event that this potential user does not occupy the space, the fenced in area should be remove to avoid the use of the area for outside storage. The “Proof of Parking” Plan, submitted by the applicant, for building 1 includes 9 future parking stalls at the southwest corner of the building and 18 parallel parking stalls across from the loading docks. The parking for building 2 includes 9 parallel parking stalls across from the loading docks and 4 parking stalls in the parking lot island at the northeast corner of the building. If the number of parking stalls required by the mix of uses in either building exceeds 171 for building 1 or 134 for building 2, the owner will be required through the Development Agreement to contact the City to discuss implementing the “Proof of Parking” Plan. Even though the site plan for each building includes more parking stalls with the “Proof of Parking” than required for the proposed mix of office and warehouse space, the introduction of other uses will be limited by the number of parking stalls because all other uses require more parking than warehouse. For example, keeping the office space for each building constant and adding manufacturing, the number of proposed parking stalls would allow for the possibility of only 5% manufacturing in each building with the remaining space being warehouse space. FENCING MATERIAL The applicant is proposing to surround the secure parking area with a 7 foot high black chain link fence with tan screening fabric. The applicant has been advised that this proposal is inconsistent with the City’s Design Guidelines. Unrelated to this issue, in September 2024, the Council asked staff to work on an ordinance amendment to Chapter 9 regarding fence material in response to resident concerns with appropriate fencing materials in a neighborhood. On January 7, 2025, the City Council approved the 1st reading of an ordinance regulating fencing material, including a prohibition of chain link with slats, tarps, and plastic mesh. The ordinance amendment is expected to be in place by the end of January. The proposed fencing material for this project does not comply with the Chapter 9 ordinance amendment. The plan must be adjusted to meet the requirements of the ordinance amendment. As staff has discussed with the applicant, based on the design guidelines, there are other fencing materials such as wood, aluminum, metal, composite, and precast concrete. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS The building architecture and materials proposed on the two new buildings are the same as the previously approved single building. The applicant breaks up the long facades with recesses and projections, changes in building material and colors, and the placement of windows. The main entrances to the building are emphasized through the use of mostly glass at the first level and above the entry, cultured stone and canopies/sun shades. Although the buildings are only one story, the building articulation and design makes the buildings appear to be two stories. The south façade of each building includes windows along the first level with portions having similar windows above the first level, which provides light into the building and gives the appearance of two stories. The east and west facades have articulation similar to the south façade except that the entire façade does not have windows at the first level. The clerestory windows add light into warehouse. The building articulation complies with City Code. The Industrial Zoning District requires 75% of each façade to consist of two contrasting yet complimentary class I materials with one color variation. The class I material on the buildings include architectural precast with scoring, glass, and cultured stone. The colors of the class I material include light tan, medium tan, dark bronze and limestone. Each façade on the buildings complies with and exceeds the building material requirements. Staff Report – Nexus Innovation Center II Page 5 TREE REPLACEMENT The proposed plan includes saving the same mature trees at the perimeter of the site as was shown on the previously approved plan. The removal of the significant and heritage trees on the overall site results in a tree replacement requirement of 1,080 caliper inches. The applicant will meet the tree replacement through the payment in lieu option for tree replacement. LANDSCAPE PLAN City Code requires single story buildings over 20 feet tall to be considered two (2) stories for purposes of calculating the landscaping requirements. Like the original proposal, each of the proposed buildings are over 20 feet tall. The building 1 requires 576 caliper inches of landscaping and the building 2 requires 513 caliper inches of landscaping. The proposed plan for building 1 includes 579 caliper inches and the proposed plan for building 2includes 542 caliper inches for a total of 1, 121 caliper inches. The plans for both buildings, comply with the requirements and the excess caliper inches can be applied toward tree replacement. Proposed Building 1 Proposed Building 2 Previously Approved Building Staff Report – Nexus Innovation Center II Page 6 The landscaping is robust and includes trees, shrubs, and perennials. The plan provides a buffer along the east property line, trees and shrubs along Blue Circle and Yellow Circle Drive to screen the loading areas, foundation plantings to add interest at the base of the buildings, and trees to enhance the existing plantings along the highway. The City of Minnetonka has a policy that all deciduous trees must be at least 10 feet from public trails and evergreen trees must be at least 15 feet from public trails. The deciduous and evergreen trees proposed along the trail should be adjusted to meet this request from Minnetonka. SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS There is an existing trail on the north side of the property stretching from the easterly driveway onto Yellow Circle Drive to the east property line. This trail connects to a broader trail system that extends to the east and goes north into the Opus Business Park. The applicant is proposing to provide a new trail connection in almost the same location as the existing trail. The City of Minnetonka has developed an Opus Area Placemaking + Urban Design Guide which includes a trail along the north property line. The proposed trail is consistent with the Opus Area Placemaking + Urban Design Guide. TRAFFIC STUDY The proposed project consists of a 92,224 square foot warehouse and office building and a 62,006 square foot office and warehouse building with access from Blue Circle Drive and Yellow Circle Drive in Minnetonka. The project is adjacent to the Opus Business Park area of Minnetonka, which has an Alternative Urban Area Review (AUAR) administered by the City of Minnetonka that was started in 2020. This AUAR includes scenarios for modifying some of the streets and intersections in the area to accommodate current and future development in the Opus Business Park. The proposed development was analyzed for transportation and traffic impacts based on the identified uses and based on these future street modifications. Trip generation was estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition. Though the current building is vacant, it is important to compare the existing total daily trips (if it were to be fully utilized as an office) and the proposed total daily trips. Existing (assumed) total daily trips is 2,121, while the proposed total daily trips is 850. The proposed development will have approximately 60% less total daily trips than the current building. Essentially all trips are expected to circulate on streets within the Opus Business Park and eventually connect to Highway 169 and Bren Road to the east or Highway 62 and Shady Oak Road to the west. The traffic study concluded that all intersections in their 2024 configuration can accommodate the additional traffic from this development and still operate at acceptable levels. The traffic study projected 2040 trip generation and distribution and concluded that all intersections would operate acceptably if the modifications identified in the AUAR are made. Pursuant to City Code 11.24. Subd. 10, all office and industrial developments and redevelopments require a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. For this development, the developer must complete a checklist of TDM strategies that they will commit to implement. Completion of the checklist will be covered in the Development Agreement. DRAINAGE/STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Based on the provided geotechnical data, the soils on site are clayey soils belonging to Hydrologic Soil Group D with some areas of poorly graded sand. Two underground infiltration chamber systems are proposed north of building 2 and in between Buildings 1 and 2 to take advantage of areas of sandy soils. Additional stormwater management is provided by one pond proposed on the east side of the site and a smaller one is proposed on the south side of the site. The location of the ponds is the same as shown on the previously approved plan. Staff Report – Nexus Innovation Center II Page 7 LIGHTING The Photometric Plan includes wall pack lighting around each of the buildings with new pole lighting at each driveway to Blue Circle Drive. These fixtures provide lighting for the main entrances to the building, the parking areas, the driveways and for the loading dock areas. The Lighting Plan complies with City Code. SIGNS The site plan shows a new monument sign at the Yellow Circle entrance onto Lot 1 and a new monument sign near the easternmost driveway to Lot 2. The monument sign for Lot 2 does not meet the setback requirements. Prior to installing any of the signs, the signs must comply with all of the City of Eden Prairie sign requirements and the signs require approval through a separate permit. UTILITIES The land on the north side of the subject property is located in the City of Minnetonka. The right-of-way for Yellow Circle Drive and Blue Circle Drive and the improvements within the right-of-way are owned by the City of Minnetonka. The property is served by the City of Minnetonka sanitary sewer and water. In 1977, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie entered into a Joint Powers Agreement for “sanitary and storm sewer and water facilities and street improvements” for the Eden Prairie properties located in Opus. Under the agreement: (1) Minnetonka constructed these facilities and assessed Eden Prairie; (2) Minnetonka is responsible for the maintenance of the sewer and water improvements; and (3) Minnetonka reads meters and charges Eden Prairie properties directly for sewer and water services. Any increase in utility usage may necessitate utility improvements, which would be Minnetonka’s responsibility under the agreement. Since the proposed buildings do not have specific users defined, it is challenging to anticipate utility usage. Therefore, Minnetonka requests the establishment of a new Joint Powers Agreement to clearly define future cost responsibilities. The new agreement should include provisions for 6101 and 6131 Blue Circle Drive as well as the parcel to the west. SUSTAINABILITY The applicant is proposing to incorporate the same sustainable features and practices as the previously approved plan. They include: • Participate in the Energy Design Assistance Program • Incorporate EV charging. A minimum of 2% of parking spaces will accommodate EV charging stations or to an EV ready standard. The Site Plan includes 7 EV parking stalls for building 1 and 3 EV parking stalls for building 2. • Design the building so it can support future installation of solar panels • Use efficient appliances and fixtures • Use Low VOC materials • Use sustainable landscape design principles including diversity in plant species, disease and drought resistant plants and native species • Waste disposal – tenants will recycle The Building Sustainability Standards do not apply to this project because it is not a PUD.

MINUTES MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Taylor to approve the minutes of November 18, 2024. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. NEXUS INNOVATION CENTER II (2024-11) Request for: • Preliminary Plat dividing one lot into two lots on 14.35 acres, • Site Plan Review on 14.35 acres The applicant, Joe Bergman, a partner at Endeavor Development, presented a PowerPoint and detailed the application. The applicant proposed to build two industrial buildings on the former American Family Insurance site. He introduced PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 13, 2025 Page 2 his firm and stated the applicant had previously had the site rezoned to I-2 Industrial Park to support a single building; the applicant was now requesting a revised site plan with two buildings totaling 174,230 square feet, one being a 92,224 square foot build-to-suit for local provider of backup power solutions HM Cragg, which was returning to Eden Prairie, and an 82,006 square foot speculative building. The site plan showed a shared access and a shared driveway. The plan would recycle existing onsite materials and have seven EV charging stations, and the infrastructure for three additional spaces, and there would be solar panel capability on the roof. There was a robust landscaping plan with the conservation of perimeter trees. There would be ample parking, expandable as needed to suit user needs. Both buildings shared the same elevations and materials, with complementary colors, painted precast, cultured stone veneer, metal canopy and window frames. Bergman displayed the southwest rendering, exterior views and interior renderings. He added this would revitalize an underutilized and obsolete office campus and bring jobs and tax base back to a site that serves as a gateway to Eden Prairie. Barnhart presented the staff report. He emphasized this was a repeat of another design last summer, and the materials and design were identical to what was approved and were compliant with I-2 Zoning District requirements. The setbacks and parking setbacks met requirements, and a waiver was avoided by this design. He commended the sustainability goals. The parking met the requirements with a portion as proof of parking based on the needs of the user. The number of parking spaces did limit the uses of the building given office space and warehouse/manufacturing space. Were those uses to increase, a future conversation would be required. One outstanding issue, as mentioned in the conditions in the staff report to be addressed by this commission before the City Council meeting, was the materials for the screening of the secure parking area (northeast corner of the site). This had to comply with City Code and the applicant was working with staff on this. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report. Farr requested the applicant address the potential mezzanine structure, and if the square footage breakdown of office versus warehouse was sufficient for the current identified tenant. Barnhart replied the parking was based on what the developer requested, based on the square footage. The applicant had been working with the potential client throughout the design. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 13, 2025 Page 3 Bergman replied the mezzanine would be included in Building One office square footage. Farr asked for and received confirmation there would be 107 parking stalls. MOTION: Taylor moved, seconded by Sivilay to close the public hearing. Motion carried 8-0. MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Sherwood to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat dividing one lot into two lots on 14.35 acres and Site Plan Review on 14.35 acres, as represented in the January 13, 2025, staff report subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Motion carried 8-0. AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 11, SECTION 11.07 PERMITTED USES TABLE – SPECIAL DISTRICTS Sherwood recused himself for having represented the school district on this action. Barnhart explained the school district purchased the UNFI property last summer which was originally developed as an office building. This required a zoning change from Office to Public. A portion of the building would potentially be vacant, so this text amendment allowed for office or medical office uses as a secondary use. This comprised only two lines of Code change, and staff recommended approval. MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. Motion carried 7-0 with one abstention (Sherwood). Farr stated this was a common sense approach to a unique problem, and supported the change. Taylor agreed. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Taylor to recommend approval of the change to Chapter 11, Section 11.07 Code Amendment, as represented in the January 13, 2025 staff report. Motion carried 7-0 with one abstention (Sherwood). PLANNERS’ REPORT MEMBERS’ REPORTS Barnhart announced the January 27 Planning meeting would include a variance and a text amendment. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 13, 2025 Page 4 Pieper stated he and Barnhart presented to the City Council Workshop last week. The Council expressed its appreciation, and commended the Commission’s questions on sustainability components in developments as well. VI. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Kirk to adjourn. Motion carried 8-0. The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. City Council Agenda Cover Memo Date: Feb. 4, 2025 Section: Public Hearing Item Number: VIII.B. Department: Community Development / Planning Julie Klima / Jeremy Barnhart ITEM DESCRIPTION An amendment to Chapter 11 (Zoning) allowing office and medical office uses in the Public Zoning district as accessory uses REQUESTED ACTION Move to close the public hearing, and • Adopt the 1st reading of the Ordinance to Amend Chapter 11 for office and medical office uses in the public zoning district in certain situations SUMMARY The proposed ordinance allows office and medical office as an accessory use in the public zoning district where the current primary use is a school and the building was originally built for office use. This is in response to conversations with the school district and the district’s desire to lease a portion of its building at the former UNFI campus. Given the property was originally developed for office uses, there is minimal impact to the character of the neighborhood. The attached Planning Commission staff report provides additional information.

Planning Commission Memo Date: January 13, 2025 Subject: Code Amendment - Office use in Public zoning From: Jeremy Barnhart, City Planner ITEM DESCRIPTION A zoning ordinance amendment that would allow office and medical office uses in buildings zoned public and used for schools. REQUESTED ACTIONS • Amendment to Chapter 11, section 11.07 Permitted Uses Table – Special Districts BACKGROUND The proposed ordinance allows office and medical office uses as an accessory (or secondary use) in a building originally constructed for office use and repurposed for schools. Office uses are deemed acceptable in these situations for the following reasons: 1) the office use is accessory in nature and is not the primary use; 2) the property was developed in a manner that supports office uses, including building and site design supporting stable traffic and parking impacts; and 3) allows flexibility to support local community needs and investment. The former UNFI three story office building at 11840 Valley View Rd was recently purchased by the Eden Prairie School District. The District requested that the property be re-guided and rezoned to Public to support its use for school purposes. The Public district primarily supports the use of property for public and quasi-public uses and does not currently allow for private office uses. The District intends to use the majority of the building for school and educational instruction purposes. The property was attractive to the District because its size allows for the ability to expand into the space as the needs of the District expand. The District proposes to use a portion of the building as lease space for private office uses. This requires an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as drafted.
