WORKSHOP AGENDA
4 p.m. Police Department Ribbon Cutting
5:30 p.m. Heritage Rooms
1. Capital Improvement Plan 2027 to 2036
Getschow explained tonight’s discussion will focus on the 2027 to 2036 Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) and a potential Local Option Sales Tax (LOST). Getschow introduced Finance Manager
Tammy Wilson to give an overview of the CIP. Wilson explained the CIP is a planning and
financial management tool to coordinate upcoming projects and funding sources. One key
policy is to maintain a debt level of between ten and 15 percent of the General Fund budget.
The City is currently at five percent, well under the policy recommendation. Wilson provided a
summary of CIP projects by department. The total of all CIP projects between 2027 and 2036,
excluding projects that could potentially be funded with LOST, is $357 million. This is a decrease
from the last CIP total of $367 due to the police remodel. Wilson explained tonight’s focus will
be on projects scheduled for 2027 and 2028.
Wilson explained one of the project funding sources is the Capital Maintenance and
Reinvestment Fund (CMRF). The CMRF fund is used for projects without a dedicated funding
source. Revenue sources for this fund include Eden Prairie Liquor profits, antenna rent revenue,
leases, and Smith House rent. Narayanan asked if money from Comcast funds the CMRF. Wilson
explained cable franchise fees are a General Fund revenue source. Case asked if money from the
CMRF funds Smith House projects. Wilson confirmed the CMRF funds projects at Smith House.
Freiberg asked for the revenue amount for antenna rent. Wilson confirmed its $460 thousand
annually. There is also a $400 thousand tax levy that funds the CMRF, which the City did not levy
last year due to positive General Fund performance. Case asked if foregoing the levy is
noticeable to the taxpayer. Getschow confirmed it lowered the levy by approximately one
percentage point. Wilson explained the remaining CMRF funding sources including any one time
revenues and a transfer from the General Fund.
Wilson displayed a chart showing the projected CMRF balance, revenues, and expenses
between 2027 and 2036. The fund balance is projected to decrease over the ten year CIP, which
is the nature of the fund. One time revenue is not budgeted as its not a guarantee. Expenses
vary year to year due to project timing. Narayanan asked why the balance is starting so high and
then decreases quickly. Wilson confirmed there are many large projects scheduled for 2027
including a $2.4 million fire truck purchase and $720 thousand of turnout gear. Case asked how
the starting CMRF fund balance became so high. Wilson confirmed it is due to multiple one time
revenues received. Getschow added the CMRF has historically had a starting balance between
eight and 18 million. The starting balance is high due to positive general fund performance in
the past few years.
Wilson next described capital projects scheduled for the next two years. Community
Development has two projects scheduled, light rail transit station area maintenance and bridge
railing replacement. Engineering’s projects include Purgatory Creek Bridge and annual right of
way maintenance. Facilities projects include furnace and air conditioning at five park shelters
and installing additional EV charging stations. Fire’s projects include purchase of a tower 41 fire
truck, turn out gear, and replacement of radios and a fire boat. Toomey asked for more details
on the fire boat. Gerber confirmed the City currently has two boats to aid in emergency event
response, the current plan is to replace the two boats with one. Case asked for information on
how often turn out gear is replaced. Gerber noted each firefighter has two sets of turnout gear
replaced in five year increments.
Wilson stated Fleet’s projects over the next few years include a vehicle lift replacement and a
monitoring system to manage fuel storage tanks. Park’s projects are mainly maintenance and
equipment replacement at parks and shelters. Police’s projects include an additional patrol
squad car and equipment for day-to-day operations. Case asked if all new squad cars are
electric. Sackett confirmed the new squad car is electric. Most new patrol cars are where
practical. There are three Chevrolet Blazers in service, with three more waiting for build.
Investigation cars are also electric.
Wilson explained the Public Works projects include light rail transit plaza equipment and a
hydro excavator trailer. Toomey asked if the Metropolitan Council pays for light rail transit
equipment. Getschow confirmed all the major equipment related to the transit system is paid
for by the Metropolitan Council. Klima added Community Development budgets dollars for
auxiliary items such as bike racks. Wilson stated the Park Improvement Fund is funded by new
development park fees, approximately $250 thousand annually. This fund can only be used for
new parks or park equipment. It will fund approximately $5.6 million of park projects in the next
ten years. Nelson commented on how many compliments she receives on Eden Prairie’s parks.
Wilson explained the Transportation Fund is funded by a new State dedicated sales tax on auto
parts, of which Eden Prairie is allocated approximately $112 thousand annually. Approximately
$5.9 million of projects will be funded over the next ten years. One of the Transportation Fund’s
larger funding projects is Willow Creek Road. Narayanan asked if the signal at Costco will be
replaced. Ellis confirmed the temporary signal will be replaced with funding almost entirely by
Costco. Wilson explained the Pavement Management Fund is funded by approximately $5.4
million of franchise fees per year. Over the next ten years approximately $67 million of projects
will be funded, mainly annual pavement management. Municipal State Aid funds any road
projects that are State eligible, such as Dell Road and Riverview Road.
Wilson next described Internal Service Funds (ISF) including facilities, information technology
(IT), and fleet. When funds complete projects, the costs are allocated back to departments. The
Facilities ISF’s projects include City Center and Fire Station 1 parking lot and replacing the
Maintenance Facility roof. The Fleet ISF is funding approximately $4 million of vehicles and
equipment over the next two years mainly for Police, Parks, and Utilities. Wilson summarized
funding sources and projects for the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater funds.
Wilson explained projects in the early stages of planning that do not have an identified funding
source are labeled with “Funding Under Review” including a drone first responder, the Valley
View Road and Highway 169 interchange, and the Highway 4 and 5 intersection. Most of the
projects within other funding sources will be partially funded by the County, State, Federal
government, other entities, or grants. Wilson displayed a chart summarizing outstanding debt
through 2045. Getschow added previous CIPs have included debt as a funding source. In the
current CIP, there is no debt planned for the next ten years.
Markle explained there are several projects included in the CIP that could be eligible for funding
via Local Option Sales Tax (LOST). These include: converting the rink 1 ice to ammonia and
redoing the flooring, redoing the Eden Prairie Community Center (EPCC) fitness floor, remodel
the EPCC lobby, and installing artificial turf at Miller Park. Any project funded by LOST would
have to be regionally significant. The typical LOST rate is 0.5% for 20 years. The University of
Minnesota was commissioned to complete a LOST study. Their findings determined 44 percent
of taxable sales in the City are from non-residents. LOST could conservatively generate $120
million for the City.
Markle described LOST in the political landscape. Nine communities requested LOST
authorization in the past legislative session without approval. Many cities will try again in 2027.
The legislative landscape is different this year with a different tax chair. Some legislators think
the State should be helping more. Narayanan asked if LOST would be collected on utility bills.
Markle confirmed LOST would only be collected on taxable goods excluding utility bills, food,
and medication.
Markle described projects identified based on need in the next few decades. A Miller Park
renovation including regraded fields, irrigation, field lighting, bathrooms, concessions, and an
inclusive playground would be a high priority. Another identified project would be
improvements to the EPCC including an outdoor aquatics center, rink 1 upgrades, EPCC lobby
remodel, and fitness floor expansion. A third project option is a year-round field house including
indoor turf fields, a walking track, a play space, and multi-purpose rooms. The final project
proposal is an environmental education and event center, including a multi-purpose gathering
space.
Nelson commented on the importance of keeping the amenity quality high for those saving to
buy a home in Eden Prairie. Getschow agreed everything in the CIP is planned to maintain a
high amenity quality for the next ten years. Markle outlined next steps including work sessions
to discuss direction and projects, working with legislators and lobbyists, adopting a resolution,
and obtaining legislative approval. Voting on each project would likely not occur until 2028, and
the tax would start being collected in 2029.

CITY COUNCIL UNAPPROVED MEETING MINUTES
June 16, 2026
Getschow explained the applicant is requesting approval to redevelop the
property at 14800 Charlson Road and the unaddressed vacant parcel to its
northwest. Together, the parcels total 28.41 acres. The property at 14800
Charlson Drive is 16.74 acres, and there has been an office building on the
property for nearly 20 years. Today the building is vacant, and the applicant is
proposing to redevelop the site with 90 owner-occupied townhomes and 16
single-family lots. The parcel to the northwest is 11.67 acres and is currently
undeveloped. The Applicant is proposing to develop 76 owner-occupied
townhomes on the parcel. There will be a total of 182 units.
The applicant, Josh Metzer, of Lennar Homes, 16355 36th Avenue North,
Plymouth, Minnesota, introduced himself. One of the site’s C.H. Robinson office
buildings on the corner of Flying Cloud Drive and Charleson Road would be
demolished to make room for townhomes and villas. The project will include
landscaping between buildings and preserved trees and ponds. There will be
window glazing to reduce noise due to the nearby airport. Each townhome will
have three bedrooms with 1,750 square feet, and the villas will range in size from
two to three bedrooms, and 1,550 square feet to 3,275 square feet. The entire
community will be maintained by an HOA.
Narayanan asked if the HOA would also maintain the villas. Metzer confirmed the
HOA will maintain the villas.
Metzer added all the villas will include EV-ready garages for electric vehicles and
will be solar panel-ready. There will be open space with a proposed playground,
dog park, and trails that run between the villas and townhomes. The timeline for
the project includes demolition of one of the C.H. Robinson office buildings and
grading the street. Some utility and street construction will begin this fall. Full
buildout of the project is estimated to take five to six years.
Case asked if all the roads in the development will be built prior to completion,
or if the only exit will be to head east to Charleston and out. Metzer confirmed
the plan will not include a road to exit west until phase three is built.
Vicki Pellar Price, 15487 Junegrass Lane, noted she has concerns about Liatris
Lane being used as a thoroughfare for construction crews. Liatris Lane ends at
Gate J on Charleson Road, and during airport events, the road gets very
congested. There are other roads construction could use to access Charleson
Road from two different points. The concern is not about the development but
about safety for pedestrians who live there, as well as traffic.
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Narayanan to close the Public Hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
CITY COUNCIL UNAPPROVED MEETING MINUTES
June 16, 2026
Toomey asked what kind of windows would be used in the development to
uphold sound standards near the airport. Metzer stated the development would
use a standard window with glazing to keep sound out. He will provide window
specifications to staff if needed. Residents will be required to sign a disclosure
confirming they understand the impact of living near an airport.
Community Development Director Julie Klima added the development
agreement will include language requiring windows of a certain standard to be
installed to mitigate noise from the airport, and residents will sign a sound
disclosure.
Toomey asked if residents will have the option for additional upgrades for noise
reduction. Metzer noted residents would have to do those additional upgrades
on their own. Toomey stated she has concerns residents may not understand the
reality of living near an airport.
Narayanan asked if the developers held a neighborhood meeting and heard any
feedback. Metzer noted there was a neighborhood meeting, 424 notices were
sent out, with five households attending the meeting. Feedback was regarding
trail usage and amenities, traffic, and information related to purchasing property.
Narayanan asked if the City did a traffic study for this development. Public Works
Director Robert Ellis confirmed a traffic study was done. This proposed
development generates an estimated 89 vehicles going in and out during
morning peak hours, and an estimated 100 vehicles during evening peak hours.
The previous office building on this site generated three times the amount of
traffic. The study estimated Liatris Lane will see more traffic with 27 additional
vehicles in morning peak hours, and 30 additional vehicles in the evening peak
hours. The study found the roads used can continue to operate without any
major concerns with additional traffic.
Case asked if a new exit onto Charleson would be built if the northeast corner of
this parcel is developed. Ellis confirmed if the parcel develops, he assumes there
would be a new street to provide more access.
Case added traffic will not be impacted for two to three years, and the full impact
of the development will not be felt for five years.
Narayanan asked if the developers had thought of doing fully solar roofs on the
townhomes. Metzer noted it is not something that has been considered in
Minnesota.
Narayanan thanked the developers for making the villas EV-ready so residents do
not have to spend thousands to install them themselves.
CITY COUNCIL UNAPPROVED MEETING MINUTES
June 16, 2026
Nelson asked if residents can contact the developer if the HOA does not do its
job or greatly increases the price. Metzer noted Lennar Homes has two HOA
managers who work with HOA members until fully taken over by the residents.
There will also be management companies to manage each HOA, with two full-
time Lennar Homes staff members.
Nelson asked if Lennar Homes has seen residents not comply with HOA rules or
the HOA not enforcing rules. Metzer stated he has not seen residents ignore or
HOA’s not enforce the bylaws.
Case stated the Council received a letter from HOA President John Miller with
concerns about traffic, the conservation area (which is City-owned and
maintained), and trespassing in the playground and pool area. The letter was
quite positive in general, and the Council should feel comfortable with approval.
Toomey stated her appreciation for leaving the remaining trees in the
development.
MOTION: Toomey moved, seconded by Narayanan to adopt Resolution No.
2026-050 for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Office to Medium Density
Residential on 23.59 acres and from Office to Low Density Residential on 4.82
acres; and adopt Resolution No. 2026-051 for a Planned Unit Development
concept plan review on 28.41 acres; and approve the first reading of an
Ordinance for a Planned Unit Development district review with waivers on 28.41
acres and a zoning district change from Office to RM-6.5 on 23.59 acres and from
Office to R1-9.5 on 4.82 acres; and adopt Resolution No. 2026-52 for a
preliminary plat of 28.41 acres into 166 lots for the townhome units, 16 lots for
the single-family units, nine lots for common open space and eight out lots; and
adopt Resolution No. 2026-053 for findings of fact in support of park dedication
fees; and direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement for Prairie Bluff
Commons incorporating Staff and Council conditions. Motion carried 5-0.
B. Code Amendment – Data Centers. Approve First Reading of Ordinance to add
language in the zoning code regulating Data Centers.
Getschow explained the proposed amendment to the City Code defines and
regulates data centers. The Ordinance includes a definition and the appropriate
zoning district in which such use is allowed and establishes reasonable
regulations to preserve community interests.
Klima explained this is an emerging land use many cities are addressing. This
amendment would provide direction to any potential data center developers of
Eden Prairie's expectations. To date, the City has not received any inquiries about
potential data centers.
CITY COUNCIL UNAPPROVED MEETING MINUTES
June 16, 2026
Klima continued there is concern around noise, water, and electrical impacts with
data centers. The City is not in a position where data centers can be prohibited,
but there can be regulations put in place to mitigate impacts. In the draft
Ordinance Staff will address location, alignment with climate action,
sustainability priorities, impact on neighboring properties, water impacts, and
renewable energy sources. The Ordinance defines data centers will be permitted
for use in the I-Gen zoning district, which includes larger sites, and provides
clarity on safety and standards. Standards include a 700-foot buffer from any
mechanical equipment, right of way, residential use, and would have to connect
to City water with a closed-loop cooling system. Staff will have the opportunity to
impose any conditions or requirements as part of the Ordinance to mitigate
concerns coming from the specific use of a data center or project.
Narayanan asked if there should be a restriction on how close a data center can
be to the airport. Klima noted staff did not see any impact on the airport, but the
City has a joint airport zoning Ordinance addressing the primary concerns of
building height and airspace.
Freiberg asked why data centers have become such a hot topic in so many
communities. Narayanan noted data centers did not need as much capacity
previously. Today, companies like Amazon are building large-scale data centers,
which consume a lot of energy and produce a lot of pollution.
Toomey asked if data centers would be allowed to drill their own wells. Klima
confirmed the Ordinance is written to require data centers to connect to City
water.
Case added in big data centers, water and electricity usage are inversely
proportional to each other, and getting both less water and electricity usage is
not possible. Recent reports estimate 50 percent of all electric usage in the
United States will be in data centers in 10 years. The question will not be if, but
where to put data centers, so it is smart to be proactive with this Ordinance.
Vicki Pellar Price, 15487 Junegrass Lane, noted people are not happy about data
centers being in their communities, and whatever the Council is going to do, she
would probably agree with.
MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Nelson to close the Public Hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
Nelson asked if the City can limit how much water a data center can use from the
City per year. Ellis noted there is currently not a prohibition on the maximum
amount of City water used, but the Ordinance would ban drilling for a new well.

Narayanan stated he used to be responsible for 24 data centers, and all of them
did not have to use water for cooling. Electricity use should be a more important
concern.
MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Toomey to approve the first reading of
an Ordinance for code amendments related to data centers. Motion carried 5-0.
IX. Payment of Claims

Commission positions were accepted from mid-April to the end of May. There
were 47 applications received this year, and there were more applicants than
spots available on the Commissions. Commission staff liaisons reviewed the
applications, and the appointment recommendations are based on the students'
stated commission preferences and the quality of their applications. An
orientation session will be held in late August. Student Commission member
terms begin in September 2026 and run through May 2027.

REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Approve the Minnesota Housing Local Housing Trust Fund Grant Program spending
plan and authorize City staff to administer the funds.
SUMMARY
The Local Housing Trust Fund Grant Program was established to encourage local governments
to create or fund Local Housing Trust Funds. The program uses state funding to match a portion
of new housing trust fund dollars to encourage local investment in affordable housing across
Minnesota. The City allocated $150,000 towards our Affordable Housing Trust Fund to match
the awarded amount of $150,000 from Minnesota Housing.
The City Council approved the Grant Contract Agreement for the Local Housing Trust Fund
Grant Program on May 5, 2026.
As part of the grant application, City staff prepared a spending plan for the $300,000 which
includes eligible activities for the local match funds and the new housing dollars from
Minnesota Housing. Minnesota Housing has approved the $150,000 grant based in part on the
proposed use of funds addressing eligible uses and housing activities.
Approval of the spending plan will enable staff to begin administering the funds for the City’s
housing programs and subrecipients.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Approve the Affordable Housing Trust Fund funding agreement with West Hennepin Affordable
Housing Land Trust (dba Homes Within Reach).
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Approve the funding agreement between the City of Eden Prairie and West Hennepin
Affordable Housing Land Trust (dba Homes Within Reach).
SUMMARY
In 2024, the City received a Local Housing Incentives Account (LHIA) grant from Met Council in
the amount of $28,377. These grant dollars require a local match which the City will provide
through the use of Local Affordable Housing Trust Fund dollars. The City designated a local
match of $32,500 towards Community Land Trust (CLT) programs.
This funding agreement will enable West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (dba Homes
Within Reach) to purchase one single-family home, to be rehabilitated and sold to a low- or
moderate-income household. The joint effort will bring a new Eden Prairie home into the CLT,
adding to the 23 previously acquired. A significant component of the City’s efforts to create and
preserve affordable housing, Homes Within Reach also has a strong history of disproportionate
service to underserved population including people of color and households with one or more
persons with a disability, who often have difficulty achieving homeownership.

Standard Construction Contract
This Standard Construction Contract (“Contract”) is made on the 14th day of July, 2026,
between the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (“City”), whose business address is 8080 Mitchell
Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, and DMJ Asphalt Inc, a Minnesota Corporation. (“Contractor”),
whose business address is PO Box 299 Medina, MN 55340.
Preliminary Statement
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of contractors to provide a
variety of services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms, or corporations
providing such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose of this
Contract is to set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of services by Contractor for
Edenvale Park Hard Court Rehabilitation hereinafter referred to as the “Work.”
The City and Contractor agree as follows:
1. Scope of Work/Proposal. The Contractor agrees to provide, perform and complete all the
provisions of the Work in accordance with attached Exhibit A. Any general or specific
conditions, terms, agreements, contractor or industry proposal, or contract terms attached
to or a part of Exhibit A are declined in full and, accordingly, are deleted and will not be in
effect in any manner.
2. Time of Commencement and Completion. The Work to be performed under this Contract
will be commenced immediately after execution of this Contract. The Work must be
completed by 9/15/26.
3. Compensation for Services. City agrees to pay the Contractor a fixed sum of $32,987.50 as
full and complete payment for the labor, materials and services rendered pursuant to this
Contract and as described in Exhibit A.
a. Any changes in the scope of the work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Contractor will require prior written approval by an
authorized representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay
additional compensation for services that do not have prior written authorization.
b. If Contractor is delayed in performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable
control, including but not limited to strikes, riots, fires, acts of God, governmental
actions, actions of a third party, or actions or inactions of City, the time for
performance will be extended by a period of time lost by reason of the delay.
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 2 of 15
Contractor will be entitled to payment for its reasonable additional charges, if any,
due to the delay.
4. Method of Payment. The Contractor will submit to the City, on a monthly basis, an itemized
invoice for services performed under this Contract. Invoices submitted will be paid in the
same manner as other claims made to the City.
a. Invoices. Contractor must verify that all statements submitted for payment in
compliance with Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391. For reimbursable
expenses, if provided for in Exhibit A, the Contractor must provide an itemized listing
and such documentation as reasonably required by the City. Each invoice must
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 must 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. By making the claim for payment under this Contract, the person making the
claim is declaring that the 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 must 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, will 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 will
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 will 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 from the
Commissioner of Revenue satisfies this requirement.
5. Standard of Care. Contractor must 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 will 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
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 3 of 15
must put forth reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely manner. Contractor will
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 will be responsible
for costs, delays or damages arising from unreasonable delays in the performance of its
duties.
6. Project Manager and Staffing. The Contractor must designate a Project Manager and notify
the City in writing of the identity of the Project Manager before starting work on the
Project. The Project Manager will be assisted by other staff members as necessary to
facilitate the 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 must
be new and in current manufacture, unless otherwise specified, and all goods and work
must be of good quality, free from faults and defects and in conformance with this Contract.
All goods and work not conforming to these requirements will be considered defective.
Goods will 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 must 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 will 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 will be in accord with the Contract and will 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 will 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 WILL
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.
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 4 of 15
The corrective Work referred to above will 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 must post bonds to secure the warranties.
10. Private Property. The Contractor may not enter upon private property for any purpose
without having previously obtained permission from the City. The Contractor is responsible
for the preservation of, and must 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 must 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 will 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 Contractor must resume the
Work 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 will reimburse the
Contractor for the additional expenses. Claims for such compensation, with complete
substantiating records, must be filed with the City within ten (10) days after the date of order
to resume Work to receive consideration. This paragraph may 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 will 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 must pay the
difference to the City.
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 5 of 15
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;
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 will 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 will be terminated at the
expiration of such ten (10) day period unless the City withdraws 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 will 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 will be paid to the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the unpaid
balance, the Contractor will pay the difference to the City.
If 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.
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 6 of 15
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 fails to pay any undisputed sum owed Contractor within forty-five (45) days
after the sum becomes due.
16. Performance and Payment Bonds. The Contractor must post Performance and Payment
Bonds 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 subcontractors and suppliers of the Contractor. The
Bonds must be in a form approved by the City. Contractor must 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 will
be considered void.
[BONDS ARE REQUIRED FOR A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT THAT IS $175,000 OR MORE; THEY
ARE OPTIONAL (AT CITY DISCRETION) FOR ANY CONTRACT THAT IS LESS THAN $175,000]
17. Subcontractor. The Contractor must bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor must
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 must 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 must 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 will pay the actual interest penalty due to the
subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties
from the Contractor may 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
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 7 of 15
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 must obtain
verification of compliance from each additional subcontractor and motor carrier with which
it has a direct contractual relationship and must 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 must 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) may employ such persons as it deems
necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Contract,
who will be employees, and under the direction, of Contractor and in no respect employees
of City, and (ii) will have no authority to employ persons, or make purchases of equipment
on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No statement herein may be construed
to find the Contractor an employee of the City.
20. Insurance.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Contractor must 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 must
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
Contractor, whichever is greater.
b. Contractor must procure and maintain the following minimum insurance coverages
and limits of liability for the Work:
Worker’s Compensation Statutory Limits
Employer’s Liability $500,000 each accident

Comprehensive Automobile

c. Commercial General Liability. The Commercial General Liability Policy must be on
ISO form CG 00 01 12 07 or CG 00 01 04 13, or the equivalent. Such insurance must
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 may 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 must 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, must name the “City of Eden
Prairie” as an additional insured, including products and completed operations.
f. All policies must contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
g. All polices, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, must insure the defense and
indemnity obligations assumed by Contractor under this Contract.
h. 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.
i. It is Contractor’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the coverage’s
required herein.
j. All policies must contain a provision or endorsement that coverages afforded
thereunder will 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.
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 9 of 15
k. Contractor must 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.
l. A copy of the Contractor’s Certificate of Insurance evidencing 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 must be provided. Such documents evidencing
Insurance must be in a form acceptable to City and must provide satisfactory
evidence that Contractor has complied with all insurance requirements. Renewal
certificates must 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 will 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.
m. If Contractor fails to provide the specified insurance, then Contractor 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) 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 will 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.
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 10 of 15
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”) will 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. ADA Title II Compliance for Digital Content. The following provisions apply only to the
extent Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement require it to produce content that will
be posted on the City’s website or digital apps.
a. Compliance with Accessibility Laws. The Contractor must ensure that all digital
content, documents, materials, deliverables, and services produced under this
Agreement that are intended for publication on, or integration with, the City’s
public-facing website (collectively, “Digital Content”) comply with all applicable
federal, state, and local accessibility laws and regulations, including, but not limited
to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II, and its implementing
regulations (28 C.F.R. Part 35).
b. Accessibility Standards. At a minimum, all Digital Content must conform to the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, or any subsequent version
adopted by the City or required by applicable law. This includes, but is not limited to,
content such as documents, images, videos, audio, maps, and interactive features.
c. Maps and Non-Accessible Content. To the extent Contractor produces map-based,
GIS, or other inherently visual or technically constrained content that cannot be
made fully accessible, Contractor must:
i. notify the City in writing in advance;
ii. provide a detailed explanation of the accessibility limitations; and
Standard Construction Contract (rev. 4/2026) Page 11 of 15
iii. supply equivalent alternative formats, data, or descriptions sufficient to
enable the City to provide meaningful access to individuals with disabilities in
compliance with ADA Title II.
24. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this Contract is
subject to mediation as a condition precedent to the initiation of any legal or equitable
proceeding by either party. The mediator will be selected by mutual agreement of the
parties, and the costs of mediation will be shared equally. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing, mediation will be held in the City of Eden Prairie. Any resolution reached through
mediation must be documented in a written mediated settlement agreement, which will be
binding on the parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

services to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
pertaining to the services will constitute a material breach of this Contract and entitle the
City to immediately terminate this Contract.

City may have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Contract. The violation of this
provision renders the Contract void.

Item Number: VII.H.
Department: Public Works/ Engineering – Ashton Kogel
ITEM DESCRIPTION
I.C. 25801 – 2026: Approve Change Order #1 for the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Approve Change Order #1 for the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in the amount
of $58,565.00.
SUMMARY
This project began on June 11th, 2026 and it is anticipated to be complete in late August.
Change Order #1 consists of additional costs as a result of unanticipated poor subgrade
conditions to streets included in the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The full depth
reclamation strategy originally selected for these streets was not possible without additional
subgrade corrections; a solution of utilizing Portland cement stabilized reclamation was
recommended by the Engineer. In addition, some concrete curb and gutter was needed to be
removed and replaced as the subgrade failed and damaged some of the existing curb.
The change order reflects the additional costs of implementing the Portland cement stabilized
reclamation method and curb removal and replacement into the project. Staff recommends
approval of the additional costs.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Approve Change Order with Pioneer Power to replace the Water Treatment Plant Air
Compressor System as part of the Water Treatment Plant Geothermal project.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move To: Approve Change Order with Pioneer Power, Inc. in the amount of $492,030.00 to
replace the air compressor system at the Water Treatment Plant.
SUMMARY
The City of Eden Prairie Utilities Division advertised and received bids for the water treatment
plant air compressor system replacement in July 2025. Two bids were received (listed below).
Pioneer Power $492,030
MN Mechanical Solutions $492,640
Both bids came in above the project’s budget amount, so the decision was made to reject all
bids, and staff budgeted appropriate funds in our Capital Improvement Plan for 2027 to
complete the project. This past winter, another one of our compressors broke beyond repair, so
2 of our 4 air compressors are now out of service. Since the low bid on the Air Compressor
System Replacement project happens to be the same contractor that was awarded the Water
Treatment Plant Geothermal Project, we are proposing to make this improvement as a change
order to the Water Plant Geothermal Project and Pioneer Power is honoring their 2025 low bid
price.
The compressed air system at the water treatment plant is a critical component as compressed
air is needed to operate the valves on filters and operate the filter press for sludge disposal.

They will design a storm sewer system and best management practices to treat stormwater
runoff.
This project is funded by the City Stormwater Utility Fund, Municipal State Aid, and a special
assessment. The assessment was levied in 1999 and there are no further assessments for the
project.

Professional Services Agreement
(rev. 4/2026)
Standard Agreement for Professional Services
This Agreement for Professional Services (“Agreement”) is made on this 14th day of July, 2026,
between the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a municipal corporation (“City”), whose business
address is 8080 Mitchell Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, and SRF Consulting Group, Inc., a
Minnesota Corporation (“Consultant”) whose business address is 3701 West Wayzata
Boulevard, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55416.
Preliminary Statement
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of consultants to provide a
variety of professional services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms or
corporations providing such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose
of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of professional
services by Consultant for Riverview Road (Homeward Hills Road to Parker Drive) hereinafter
referred to as the “Work.”
The City and Consultant agree as follows:
1. Scope of Work. The Consultant agrees to provide the professional services shown in
Exhibit A (SRF Letter Dated July 6, 2026) in connection with the Work. Exhibit A is
intended to be the scope of service for the work of the Consultant. Any general or
specific conditions, terms, agreements, consultant or industry proposal, or contract
terms attached to or a part of Exhibit A are declined in full and, accordingly, are deleted
and will not be in effect in any manner.
2. Term. The term of this Agreement will be from July 14, 2026 through May 30, 2027 the
date of signature by the parties notwithstanding. This Agreement may be extended
upon the written mutual consent of the parties for such additional period as they deem
appropriate, and upon the terms and conditions as herein stated.
3. Compensation for Services. City agrees to pay the Consultant on an hourly basis plus
expenses in a total amount not to exceed $224,721.00 for the services as described in
Exhibit A.
a. Any changes in the scope of the work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Consultant will require prior written approval by an
authorized representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay
additional compensation for services that do not have prior written
authorization.
Page 2 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
b. Special Consultants may be utilized by the Consultant when required by the
complex or specialized nature of the Project and when authorized in writing by
the City.
c. If Consultant is delayed in performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable
control, including but not limited to strikes, riots, fires, acts of God,
governmental actions, actions of a third party, or actions or inactions of City, the
time for performance will be extended by a period of time lost by reason of the
delay. Consultant will be entitled to payment for its reasonable additional
charges, if any, due to the delay.
4. City Information. The City agrees to provide the Consultant with the complete
information concerning the Scope of the Work and to perform the following services:
a. Access to the Area. Depending on the nature of the Work, Consultant may from
time to time require access to public and private lands or property. As may be
necessary, the City will obtain access to and make all provisions for the
Consultant to enter upon public and private lands or property as required for the
Consultant to perform such services necessary to complete the Work.
b. Consideration of the Consultant’s Work. The City will give thorough
consideration to all reports, sketches, estimates, drawings, and other documents
presented by the Consultant, and will inform the Consultant of all decisions
required of City within a reasonable time so as not to delay the work of the
Consultant.
c. Standards. The City will furnish the Consultant with a copy of any standard or
criteria, including but not limited to, design and construction standards that may
be required in the preparation of the Work for the Project.
d. City’s Representative. The City will appoint a representative with respect to the
work to be performed under this Agreement. The City representative will have
complete authority to transmit instructions, receive information, interpret, and
define the City’s policy and decisions with respect to the services provided or
materials, equipment, elements and systems pertinent to the work covered by
this Agreement.
5. Method of Payment. The Consultant will submit to the City, on a monthly basis, an
itemized invoice for professional services performed under this Agreement. Invoices
submitted will be paid in the same manner as other claims made to the City for:
a. Progress Payment. For work reimbursed on an hourly basis, the Consultant must
indicate for each employee, his or her name, job title, the number of hours
worked, rate of pay for each employee, a computation of amounts due for each
employee, and the total amount due for each project task. Consultant must
Page 3 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
verify all statements submitted for payment in compliance with Minnesota
Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391. For reimbursable expenses, if provided for
in Exhibit A, the Consultant must provide an itemized listing and such
documentation as reasonably required by the City. Each invoice must 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.
b. Suspended Work. If any work performed by the Consultant is suspended in
whole or in part by the City, the Consultant will be paid for any services set forth
on Exhibit A performed prior to receipt of written notice from the City of such
suspension.
c. Payments for Special Consultants. The Consultant shall be reimbursed for the
work of special consultants, as described herein, and for other items only when
authorized in writing by the City.
d. Claims. By making the claim for payment, the person making the claim is
declaring that the account, claim, or demand is just and correct and that no part
of it has been paid.
6. Project Manager and Staffing. The Consultant must designate a Project Manager and
notify the City in writing of the identity of the Project Manager before starting work on
the Project. The Project Manager will be assisted by other staff members as necessary
to facilitate the completion of the Work in accordance with the terms established
herein. Consultant may not remove or replace the Project Manager without the
approval of the City.
7. Standard of Care. Consultant must 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 will
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 must put forth reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely
manner. Consultant will 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. Consultant will be responsible for costs, delays or damages arising from
unreasonable delays in the performance of its duties.
8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon seven (7) days’
written notice delivered to the other party at the address written above. Upon
termination, if there is no fault of the Consultant, the Consultant will be paid for services
rendered and reimbursable expenses until the effective date of termination. If the City
terminates the Agreement because the Consultant has failed to perform in accordance
Page 4 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
with this Agreement, no further payment will be made to the Consultant, and the City
may retain another consultant to undertake or complete the Work identified herein.
9. Subcontractor. The Consultant may 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 must 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 within that time to pay the subcontractor any undisputed amount for
which the Consultant has received payment by the City, the Consultant must 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
Consultant must pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A
subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from the
Consultant will 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
deems necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement, who will be employees, and under the direction, of Consultant and in no
respect employees of City, and (ii) will have no authority to employ persons, or make
purchases of equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No
statement herein may be construed so as to find the Consultant an employee of the
City.
11. Insurance.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Consultant must 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 must include, but not be limited to, minimum coverages and limits of
liability specified in this paragraph, or required by law.
b. If Consultant’s insurance does not afford coverage on behalf of subcontractors,
Consultant must require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance
meeting all the requirements of this paragraph, and Consultant must include in
its contract 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
Page 5 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
Consultant’s agreement with the subcontractor for purposes of the City’s review
of compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.
c. Consultant must procure and maintain the following minimum insurance
coverages and limits of liability for the Work:
Worker’s Compensation Statutory Limits
Employer’s Liability $500,000 each accident

d. Commercial General Liability. The Commercial General Liability Policy must be on
ISO form CG 00 01 12 07 or CG 00 01 04 13, or the equivalent. Such insurance
must 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 may be no endorsement or modification
of the Commercial General Liability form arising from pollution, explosion,
collapse, underground property damage, or work performed by subcontractors.
e. Professional Liability Insurance. In addition to the coverages listed above,
Consultant must maintain a professional liability insurance policy in the amount
of $2,000,000. Said policy need not name the City as an additional insured.
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.
Page 6 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
g. All policies, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, Automobile Policy, and
Professional Liability Policy, must name the “City of Eden Prairie” as an
additional insured including products and completed operations.
h. All policies, except the Professional Liability Policy, must apply on a “per project”
basis.
i. All General Liability policies, Automobile Liability policies and Umbrella policies
must contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
j. All policies, except for the Worker’s Compensation Policy and the Professional
Liability Policy, must be primary and non-contributory.
k. All polices, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy and the Professional
Liability Policy, must insure the defense and indemnity obligations assumed by
Consultant under this Agreement. The Professional Liability policy must insure
the 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 is Consultant’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverages required herein.
n. All policies must 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 must 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 must be provided.
Such documents evidencing Insurance must be in a form acceptable to City and
must provide satisfactory evidence that Consultant has complied with all
Page 7 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
insurance requirements. Renewal certificates must 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 will 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. 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) 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 Consultant,
its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Consultant agrees that this
indemnity will 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.
r. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Page 8 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
Consultant’s obligation to defend the City will not apply to claims covered by
Consultant’s professional liability insurance. 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. ADA Title II Compliance for Digital Content. The following provisions apply only to the
extent Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement require it to produce content that
will be posted on the City’s website or digital apps.
a. Compliance with Accessibility Laws. Consultant must ensure that all digital
content, documents, materials, deliverables, and services produced under this
Agreement that are intended for publication on, or integration with, the City’s
public-facing website (collectively, “Digital Content”) comply with all applicable
federal, state, and local accessibility laws and regulations, including, but not
limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II, and its
implementing regulations (28 C.F.R. Part 35).
b. Accessibility Standards. At a minimum, all Digital Content must conform to the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, or any subsequent
version adopted by the City or required by applicable law. This includes, but is
not limited to, content such as documents, images, videos, audio, maps, and
interactive features.
c. Maps and Non-Accessible Content. To the extent Consultant produces map-
based, GIS, or other inherently visual or technically constrained content that
cannot be made fully accessible, Consultant must:
i. notify the City in writing in advance;
ii. provide a detailed explanation of the accessibility limitations; and
iii. supply equivalent alternative formats, data, or descriptions sufficient to
enable the City to provide meaningful access to individuals with disabilities in
compliance with ADA Title II.
Page 9 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
15. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this Agreement
is subject to mediation as a condition precedent to the initiation of any legal or
equitable proceeding by either party. The mediator will be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties, and the costs of mediation will be shared equally. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, mediation will be held in the City of Eden Prairie. Any
resolution reached through mediation must be documented in a written mediated
settlement agreement, which will be binding on the parties and enforceable in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
General Terms And Conditions
16. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement, nor any interest arising under
this Agreement, without the written consent of the other party.
17. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. In providing services under this Agreement, the
Consultant must abide by statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the
services to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
pertaining to the services will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and entitle
the City to immediately terminate this Agreement.
18. Conflicts. No salaried officer or employee of the City and no member of the City Council
may have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement. The violation of this
provision renders the Agreement void.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
will be considered an original.

party will not be entitled to recover punitive, special, or consequential damages or
damages for loss of business.
21. Enforcement. The Consultant will reimburse the City for all costs and expenses incurred
by the City in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, whether
during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees.
22. Entire Agreement, Construction, Application, and Interpretation. This Agreement is
entered into in furtherance of the City’s public purpose mission and must be construed,
interpreted, and applied in accordance with that mission. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous oral or written agreements, negotiations, and understandings
relating to its subject matter. Any amendment, modification, deletion, or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement will be effective only if set forth in a written document
signed by both parties, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.
Page 10 of 13 (rev. 4/2026)
23. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.

post in places available to employees and applicants for employment notices setting
forth the provision of this non-discrimination clause and stating that all qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment. The Consultant must incorporate
the foregoing requirements of this paragraph in all its subcontracts for Work under this
Agreement, and must require all of its subcontractors for such work to incorporate such
requirements in all sub-subcontracts for Work. The Consultant further agrees to comply
with all aspects of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 363A,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
25. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given by a party upon the other is given
in accordance with this Agreement if it is directed to either party by delivering it
personally to an officer of the party, or if mailed in a sealed wrapper by United States
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or if deposited
cost paid with a nationally recognized, reputable overnight courier, properly addressed
to the address listed on page 1 hereof. Notices will be deemed effective on the earlier
of the date of receipt or the date of mailing or deposit, provided, however, that if notice
is given by mail or deposit, that the time for response to any notice by the other party
will commence to run one business day after any such mailing or deposit. A party may
change its address for the service of notice by giving written notice of such change to
the other party, in any manner specified above, 10 days prior to the effective date of
such change.
26. Rights and Remedies. The duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement and the
rights and remedies available thereunder are in addition to and not a limitation of any
duties, obligations, rights, and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
27. Services Not Provided For. No claim for services furnished by the Consultant not
specifically provided for under this Agreement will be honored by the City.
28. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination will not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The parties
intend that this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under Minnesota
law, and any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision be deemed modified to the
minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, consistent with the parties’
original intent.
29. Statutory Provisions.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Award Contract to Pember Companies, Inc. for the base-bid amount plus alternates 1 and 2 for
the rehabilitation of Sanitary Sewer Lift Station No. 16 in the amount of $375,320.00
REQUESTED ACTION
Move To: Award Construction Contract to Pember Companies, Inc. in the amount of
$375,320.00 for the Rehabilitation of Sanitary Sewer Lift Station No. 16 located at 18488
Bearpath Trail.
SUMMARY
City staff is recommending the City Council reject the lowest bid for this project in the best
interest of the City due to an incomplete bid submission (missing required references) and
demonstrated past performance shortcomings of the lowest bidder on the most recent city
sanitary sewer rehab project. Challenges in project planning, construction management, and
submission of required project documentation are fully referenced in daily engineer reports and
correspondence. To date, there are still missing or deficient project submittals that were due
before the project was started, and project planning decisions delayed the completion date,
which has not yet been achieved. Staff recommends the City Council award the contract to the
second lowest responsive bidder.
Given the disruption to traffic on the narrow streets of the Bearpath community, construction
delays or problems with temporary conveyance of sewage (sewer bypass system) on this next
project could have a much greater impact on the neighborhood should something go wrong.
The project engineer, AE2S, has also provided a letter of recommendation advising the selection
of the second highest bidder.
Funds for this project are forecast in the Wastewater Enterprise Capital Improvement Budget.

Re: Bid Summary and Updated Engineer’s Recommendation
Eden Prairie Bearpath Lift Station Rehabilitation
Dear Mr. Allman and Mr. Wahlen,
Pursuant to the authority of the Eden Prairie City Council and following proper legal
advertisement, the window for bid receival for the Eden Prairie Bearpath Lift Station
Rehabilitation Project concluded on Thursday, May 7th, at 11:00AM. Six bids were received
for the project. The bids received were completed in accordance with the project manual. A
bid tabulation can be found in Attachment No. 1 of this document.
The attached bid tabulation presents a comparison of the six bids received. The engineer’s
opinion of probable cost was $350,000.00. The lowest responsive bidder was Krueger
Excavating, Inc. with a Base Bid price of $255,500.00, an Alternate 1 price of $21,450.00,
and an Alternate 2 price of $11,110.00. Based upon direct experience with Krueger
Excavating, Inc. for the Red Oak Lift Station project, the complexities of the work at the
Bear Path Lift Station site, and discussions with City staff, Advanced Engineering and
Environmental Services, Inc. (AE2S) recommends the City award a construction contract to
the second lowest responsive bidder, Pember Companies, Inc with a Base Bid price of
$343,920.00, an Alternate 1 price of $20,700.00, and an Alternate 2 price of $10,700.00.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Approve Inflow and Infiltration Grant Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Improvements Managed by
the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES).
REQUESTED ACTION
Move To: Approve Grant Agreement SG-21276 for Sanitary Sewer Improvements under the
2023 Municipal Publicly Owned Infrastructure Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program.
SUMMARY
As has been the City’s practice since this grant program was first made available, the City of
Eden Prairie applied for the 2023 Inflow and Infiltration Grant from MCES for the period January
1, 2024 through December 31, 2025. Eden Prairie was approved as a grant participant in
February, 2024 and per the conditions of the program, directed to perform the estimated
sanitary sewer system improvements included in the application documentation at City
expense, track all costs, and submit expense documentation by March 31, 2026. Each city
approved for participation in the grant program does likewise, and at the conclusion of the
designated work-window, all costs from all participants are tabulated and a fair-share
distribution is made among the Grantees. Eden Prairie’s original share was estimated to fall
between $50,000 and $379,409 at the start of the program. The City’s actual reimbursement
will be $177,602, or about 21% of the total improvement costs expended.
The total cost of sanitary sewer improvements submitted to MCES for this grant program was
$858,076. The $177,602 reimbursement will be coded back into the wastewater enterprise
fund.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.01 Insurance. The Public Entity shall, upon acquisition of the ownership
interest delineated in Section 2.02, insure the Facility, if such exists, in an amount equal to the full

maintained and adequately funded by the Public Entity, or (ii) by way of builders risk insurance
and fire and extended coverage insurance with a deductible in an amount acceptable to the State
Entity under which the State Entity and the Public Entity are named as loss payees. If damages
which are covered by such required insurance occur, then the Public Entity shall, at its sole option
and discretion, either: (y) use or cause the insurance proceeds to be used to fully or partially repair
such damage and to provide or cause to be provided whatever additional funds that may be needed

Generic GO Bond Proceeds 22 Ver – 10/26/20
Grant Agreement for Program End Grants
and portion of the Real Property associated therewith in accordance with the provisions contained
in Section 4.01.
If the Public Entity elects to only partially repair such damage, then the portion of the
insurance proceeds not used for such repair shall be applied in accordance with the provisions
contained in Section 4.02 as if the Public Entity’s ownership interest in the Real Property and
Facility had been sold, and such amounts shall be credited against the amounts due and owing
under Section 4.02 upon the ultimate sale of the Public Entity’s ownership interest in the Real
Property and Facility. If the Public Entity elects to sell its ownership interest in the damaged
Facility and portion of the Real Property associated therewith, then such sale must occur within a
reasonable time period from the date the damage occurred and the cumulative sum of the insurance
proceeds plus the proceeds of such sale must be applied in accordance with the provisions
contained in Section 4.02, with the insurance proceeds being so applied within a reasonable time
period from the date they are received by the Public Entity.
The State Entity agrees to and will assign or pay over to the Public Entity all insurance
proceeds it receives so that the Public Entity can comply with the requirements that this Section

such insurance.

Entity shall promptly furnish to the requesting entity all written notices and all paid premium
receipts received by the Public Entity regarding the required insurance, or certificates of insurance
evidencing the existence of such required insurance.
If the Public Entity fails to provide and maintain the insurance required under this Section,
then the State Entity may, at its sole option and discretion, obtain and maintain insurance of an
equivalent nature, and any funds expended by the State Entity to obtain or maintain such insurance
shall be due and payable on demand by the State Entity and bear interest from the date of
advancement by the State Entity at a rate equal to the lesser of the maximum interest rate allowed
by law or 18% per annum based upon a 365-day year. Provided, however, nothing contained

lessen the Public Entity’s duty to obtain and maintain such insurance.
Section 7.02 Condemnation. If after the Public Entity has acquired the ownership
interest delineated in Section 2.02 all or any portion of the Real Property and, if applicable, Facility
is condemned to an extent that the Public Entity can no longer comply with the provisions

Grant Agreement for Program End Grants
contained in Section 2.04, then the Public Entity shall, at its sole option and discretion, either: (i)
use or cause the condemnation proceeds to be used to acquire an interest in additional real property
needed for the Public Entity to continue to comply with the provisions contained in Section 2.04
and, if applicable, to fully or partially restore the Facility, and to provide or cause to be provided
whatever additional funds that may be needed for such purposes, or (ii) sell the remaining portion
of its ownership interest in the Real Property and, if applicable, Facility in accordance with the
provisions contained in Section 4.01. Any condemnation proceeds which are not used to acquire
an interest in additional real property or to restore, if applicable, the Facility shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions contained in Section 4.02 as if the Public Entity’s ownership
interest in the Real Property and, if applicable, Facility had been sold, and such amounts shall be
credited against the amounts due and owing under Section 4.02 upon the ultimate sale of the Public
Entity’s ownership interest in the remaining Real Property and, if applicable, Facility. If the Public
Entity elects to sell its ownership interest in the portion of the Real Property and, if applicable,
Facility that remains after the condemnation, then such sale must occur within a reasonable time
period from the date the condemnation occurred and the cumulative sum of the condemnation
proceeds plus the proceeds of such sale must be applied in accordance with the provisions

time period from the date they are received by the Public Entity.

or use contract.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Approval of Professional Services Agreement with AE2S for Consulting Engineering Support of
the Preparation of the City’s Water Resources Chapter of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan
REQUESTED ACTION
Move To: Approve Professional Services Agreement with AE2S for an amount not to exceed $98,670.00
for Support in Preparation of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan.
SUMMARY
AE2S has worked with the City on previous versions of the comprehensive plan and has
supported the City with most of the water and wastewater infrastructure projects as well as
optimization studies and system modelling. AE2S is the most qualified for this role given their
total familiarity with the City’s water and wastewater systems in their entirety. The attached
agreement provides for assistance in preparing and writing the water resources chapter of the
2050 comprehensive plan as well as completing the city’s master plan for water and wastewater
utilities. Included in the preparation of the chapter is the review of all the City’s present and
planned infrastructure improvements necessary to support planned growth and development
consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s guidance.
Funds for this project are included in the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater enterprise funds.

Agreement
(rev. 4/2026)
Standard Agreement for Professional Services
This Agreement for Professional Services (“Agreement”) is made on this _14th_ day of _July_,
20_26_, between the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a municipal corporation (“City”), whose
business address is 8080 Mitchell Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, and _Advanced Engineering
and Environmental Services (AE2S)_, a North Dakota _Limited Liability Company_
(“Consultant”) whose business address is _6901 East Fish Lake Road, Suite 184, Maple Grove,
MN 55369_.
Preliminary Statement
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of consultants to provide a
variety of professional services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms or
corporations providing such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose
of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of professional
services by Consultant for_Support with Preparation of the Water Resources Chapter of the
City’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan and the Completion of the Water and Wastewater Utility
Master Plan_ hereinafter referred to as the “Work.”
The City and Consultant agree as follows:
1. Scope of Work. The Consultant agrees to provide the professional services shown in
Exhibit A ( Scope of Work ) in connection with the Work. Exhibit A is intended to
be the scope of service for the work of the Consultant. Any general or specific
conditions, terms, agreements, consultant or industry proposal, or contract terms
attached to or a part of Exhibit A are declined in full and, accordingly, are deleted and
will not be in effect in any manner.
2. Term. The term of this Agreement will be from _July 14, 2026_through July 13, 2028_
the date of signature by the parties notwithstanding. This Agreement may be extended
upon the written mutual consent of the parties for such additional period as they deem
appropriate, and upon the terms and conditions as herein stated.
3. Compensation for Services. City agrees to pay the Consultant on an hourly basis plus
expenses in a total amount not to exceed $ 98,670.00 for the services as described in
Exhibit A.
a. Any changes in the scope of the work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Consultant will require prior written approval by an
authorized representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay
additional compensation for services that do not have prior written
authorization.
Page 2 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
b. Special Consultants may be utilized by the Consultant when required by the
complex or specialized nature of the Project and when authorized in writing by
the City.
c. If Consultant is delayed in performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable
control, including but not limited to strikes, riots, fires, acts of God,
governmental actions, actions of a third party, or actions or inactions of City, the
time for performance will be extended by a period of time lost by reason of the
delay. Consultant will be entitled to payment for its reasonable additional
charges, if any, due to the delay.
4. City Information. The City agrees to provide the Consultant with the complete
information concerning the Scope of the Work and to perform the following services:
a. Access to the Area. Depending on the nature of the Work, Consultant may from
time to time require access to public and private lands or property. As may be
necessary, the City will obtain access to and make all provisions for the
Consultant to enter upon public and private lands or property as required for the
Consultant to perform such services necessary to complete the Work.
b. Consideration of the Consultant’s Work. The City will give thorough
consideration to all reports, sketches, estimates, drawings, and other documents
presented by the Consultant, and will inform the Consultant of all decisions
required of City within a reasonable time so as not to delay the work of the
Consultant.
c. Standards. The City will furnish the Consultant with a copy of any standard or
criteria, including but not limited to, design and construction standards that may
be required in the preparation of the Work for the Project.
d. City’s Representative. The City will appoint a representative with respect to the
work to be performed under this Agreement. The City representative will have
complete authority to transmit instructions, receive information, interpret, and
define the City’s policy and decisions with respect to the services provided or
materials, equipment, elements and systems pertinent to the work covered by
this Agreement.
5. Method of Payment. The Consultant will submit to the City, on a monthly basis, an
itemized invoice for professional services performed under this Agreement. Invoices
submitted will be paid in the same manner as other claims made to the City for:
a. Progress Payment. For work reimbursed on an hourly basis, the Consultant must
indicate for each employee, his or her name, job title, the number of hours
worked, rate of pay for each employee, a computation of amounts due for each
employee, and the total amount due for each project task. Consultant must
Page 3 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
verify all statements submitted for payment in compliance with Minnesota
Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391. For reimbursable expenses, if provided for
in Exhibit A, the Consultant must provide an itemized listing and such
documentation as reasonably required by the City. Each invoice must 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.
b. Suspended Work. If any work performed by the Consultant is suspended in
whole or in part by the City, the Consultant will be paid for any services set forth
on Exhibit A performed prior to receipt of written notice from the City of such
suspension.
c. Payments for Special Consultants. The Consultant shall be reimbursed for the
work of special consultants, as described herein, and for other items only when
authorized in writing by the City.
d. Claims. By making the claim for payment, the person making the claim is
declaring that the account, claim, or demand is just and correct and that no part
of it has been paid.
6. Project Manager and Staffing. The Consultant must designate a Project Manager and
notify the City in writing of the identity of the Project Manager before starting work on
the Project. The Project Manager will be assisted by other staff members as necessary
to facilitate the completion of the Work in accordance with the terms established
herein. Consultant may not remove or replace the Project Manager without the
approval of the City.
7. Standard of Care. Consultant must 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 will
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 must put forth reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely
manner. Consultant will 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. Consultant will be responsible for costs, delays or damages arising from
unreasonable delays in the performance of its duties.
8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon seven (7) days’
written notice delivered to the other party at the address written above. Upon
termination, if there is no fault of the Consultant, the Consultant will be paid for services
rendered and reimbursable expenses until the effective date of termination. If the City
terminates the Agreement because the Consultant has failed to perform in accordance
Page 4 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
with this Agreement, no further payment will be made to the Consultant, and the City
may retain another consultant to undertake or complete the Work identified herein.
9. Subcontractor. The Consultant may 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 must 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 within that time to pay the subcontractor any undisputed amount for
which the Consultant has received payment by the City, the Consultant must 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
Consultant must pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A
subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from the
Consultant will 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
deems necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement, who will be employees, and under the direction, of Consultant and in no
respect employees of City, and (ii) will have no authority to employ persons, or make
purchases of equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No
statement herein may be construed so as to find the Consultant an employee of the
City.
11. Insurance.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Consultant must 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 must include, but not be limited to, minimum coverages and limits of
liability specified in this paragraph, or required by law.
b. If Consultant’s insurance does not afford coverage on behalf of subcontractors,
Consultant must require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance
meeting all the requirements of this paragraph, and Consultant must include in
its contract 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
Page 5 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
Consultant’s agreement with the subcontractor for purposes of the City’s review
of compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.
c. Consultant must procure and maintain the following minimum insurance
coverages and limits of liability for the Work:
Worker’s Compensation Statutory Limits
Employer’s Liability $500,000 each accident

Umbrella or Excess Liability $1,000,000
d. Commercial General Liability. The Commercial General Liability Policy must be on
ISO form CG 00 01 12 07 or CG 00 01 04 13, or the equivalent. Such insurance
must 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 may be no endorsement or modification
of the Commercial General Liability form arising from pollution, explosion,
collapse, underground property damage, or work performed by subcontractors.
e. Professional Liability Insurance. In addition to the coverages listed above,
Consultant must maintain a professional liability insurance policy in the amount
of $2,000,000. Said policy need not name the City as an additional insured.
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.
Page 6 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
g. All policies, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, Automobile Policy, and
Professional Liability Policy, must name the “City of Eden Prairie” as an
additional insured including products and completed operations.
h. All policies, except the Professional Liability Policy, must apply on a “per project”
basis.
i. All General Liability policies, Automobile Liability policies and Umbrella policies
must contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
j. All policies, except for the Worker’s Compensation Policy and the Professional
Liability Policy, must be primary and non-contributory.
k. All polices, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy and the Professional
Liability Policy, must insure the defense and indemnity obligations assumed by
Consultant under this Agreement. The Professional Liability policy must insure
the 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 is Consultant’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverages required herein.
n. All policies must 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 must 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 must be provided.
Such documents evidencing Insurance must be in a form acceptable to City and
must provide satisfactory evidence that Consultant has complied with all
Page 7 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
insurance requirements. Renewal certificates must 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 will 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. 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) 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 Consultant,
its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Consultant agrees that this
indemnity will 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.
r. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Page 8 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
Consultant’s obligation to defend the City will not apply to claims covered by
Consultant’s professional liability insurance. 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. ADA Title II Compliance for Digital Content. The following provisions apply only to the
extent Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement require it to produce content that
will be posted on the City’s website or digital apps.
a. Compliance with Accessibility Laws. Consultant must ensure that all digital
content, documents, materials, deliverables, and services produced under this
Agreement that are intended for publication on, or integration with, the City’s
public-facing website (collectively, “Digital Content”) comply with all applicable
federal, state, and local accessibility laws and regulations, including, but not
limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II, and its
implementing regulations (28 C.F.R. Part 35).
b. Accessibility Standards. At a minimum, all Digital Content must conform to the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, or any subsequent
version adopted by the City or required by applicable law. This includes, but is
not limited to, content such as documents, images, videos, audio, maps, and
interactive features.
c. Maps and Non-Accessible Content. To the extent Consultant produces map-
based, GIS, or other inherently visual or technically constrained content that
cannot be made fully accessible, Consultant must:
i. notify the City in writing in advance;
ii. provide a detailed explanation of the accessibility limitations; and
iii. supply equivalent alternative formats, data, or descriptions sufficient to
enable the City to provide meaningful access to individuals with disabilities in
compliance with ADA Title II.
Page 9 of 20 (rev. 4/2026)
15. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this Agreement
is subject to mediation as a condition precedent to the initiation of any legal or
equitable proceeding by either party. The mediator will be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties, and the costs of mediation will be shared equally. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, mediation will be held in the City of Eden Prairie. Any
resolution reached through mediation must be documented in a written mediated
settlement agreement, which will be binding on the parties and enforceable in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
General Terms And Conditions
16. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement, nor any interest arising under
this Agreement, without the written consent of the other party.
17. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. In providing services under this Agreement, the
Consultant must abide by statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the
services to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
pertaining to the services will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and entitle
the City to immediately terminate this Agreement.
18. Conflicts. No salaried officer or employee of the City and no member of the City Council
may have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement. The violation of this
provision renders the Agreement void.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
will be considered an original.
20. Damages. In the event of a breach of this Agreement by either party, the non-breaching
party will not be entitled to recover punitive, special, or consequential damages or
damages for loss of business.
21. Enforcement. The Consultant will reimburse the City for all costs and expenses incurred
by the City in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, whether
during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, including, without limitation,

Section: Public Hearings
Item Number: VIII.A.
Department: Community Development/ Planning
Julie Klima/ Jeremy Barnhart
ITEM DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes developing the 32 acre Marshall Farm property at 9905 Dell Road into
50 single family residential lots including an extension of Crestwood Terrace, utilities, and 5
outlots. One of the outlots is approximately 13.18 acres and is located in the south half of the
property. This outlot will be deeded to the City for natural resource preservation.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to:
•Close the Public Hearing; and
•Approve Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Medium Density Residential to Low
Density Residential on 8.69 acres; and
•Approve a Planned Unit Development Concept Plan Review on 32.13 acres; and
•Approve a Planned Unit Development District Review with Waivers on 32.13 acres; and
•Approve Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 17.84 acres, and from Rural to
Parks and Open Space on 14.29 acres; and
•Approve Preliminary Plat of 32.13 acres into 50 lots and 5 outlots; and
•Authorize the issuance of an early Land Alteration Permit for Marshall Farms at the
request of the Developer subject to the conditions outlined in the permit.
•Direct staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission
recommendations and Council conditions.
SUMMARY
The City previously approved a development project for this property on May 6, 2025. The
previous development project proposed the construction of 100 condominium units and 15
single family lots. The developer associated with that project has decided to not move
forward with the development. All of the previous approvals associated with that project, with
the exception of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment have expired. The Comprehensive
Plan Amendment reguided a portion of the property for Medium Density Residential
development
for the proposed condominium units and another portion for Parks/Open Space to preserve the
southern area of the property.
The current proposal is depicted below and includes 50 single family detached lots and 5
outlots.
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
The comprehensive plan currently guides the property for several land uses. The southern third
of the property is guided parks and open space, the middle third is guided medium density
residential, and the northern third is guided low density residential. The developer proposes to
change the middle third to low density residential, as illustrated in the graphic below.
The proposed zoning district change will establish the northern two thirds of the site as R1-9.5,
from the current Rural zoning. The southern third will be zoned Parks and Open space.
Traffic
A traffic study was prepared. The proposed 50-unit single-family subdivision is anticipated to generate
457 daily trips (35 a.m. peak and 47 p.m. peak), which is approximately half of the traffic of the previously
approved plan. The previously approved development was estimated to generate 892 daily trips (67 a.m.
peak and 81 p.m. peak).
Traffic distribution assumptions indicate that approximately 40% of site traffic is expected to travel
northbound on Dell Road toward Pioneer Trail, 20% northbound on Canopy Trail towards Dell Road and
Pioneer Trail, 15% northbound on Crestwood Terrace toward Pioneer Trail, and 25% southbound on Dell
Road toward County Highway 61. All intersections within the study area are expected to continue
operating at an efficient Level of Service with no significant operational issues anticipated as a result of
the proposed development.
Planned Unit Development (PUD) 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 City must make a finding that the proposed development is not in conflict with the Guide Plan goals,
that the design is desirable and uniform within the PUD boundary area, that waivers from City Code
standards requirements are justified by the design of the PUD area, and the PUD area is a complete and
feasible design plan. To support the design vision for the site and to create a uniform development area,
the applicant is requesting the following waivers:
Figure 2: Existing Land Use Figure 1: Proposed Land Use
Lot Width and Area. City Code provides a minimum lot area of 9,500 square feet in the
R1-9.5 zoning district. The lots range in size between 8,009 and 17,651 sq ft, with an average of
10,750 square feet. Of the 50 lots proposed, 24 lots do not meet the minimum area of 9,500 sq
ft. and 25 of the 50 lots do not meet the minimum width requirement of 70 feet. All lots range
in width between 49 and 215 feet, with an average of 75 feet. The table lists the proposed lots
requesting lot area and lot width waivers. These waivers can be supported in part because the
developer will be deeding the bluff area to the City for permanent open space.
Front yard setback. The developer is requesting that front yard setback throughout the
development be reduced from 30 feet to 25 feet. This is beneficial as it pulls the homes away
from the bluff line to the south and the north property line, increasing the separation from the
properties to the north and the sensitive bluff area.
Accessory Garage. City Code establishes the maximum area of accessory structures at
7.5% of the lot area. Accessory structures include sheds, attached and detached garages, pools.
With this limitation, some of the smaller lots would not support a three stall garage. The
developer proposes a maximum of 9% of the lot area for accessory garage for those lots less
than 11,000 sq ft. in size. This is a reasonable adjustment for some of the smaller lots and the
storage and amenities expected in the neighborhood. Additionally, the developer reduced the
size of some of the lots smaller to protect the bluff area.
Screening/Sight lines
The tree replacement plan includes a number of trees along the north and west property lines.
These trees will provide some landscaping between the proposed homes and the existing
neighborhoods. The tree replacement plan reflects an increase of trees over what was
proposed during the neighborhood meeting, which was held on May 12th and exceeds the
minimum requirements of City Code. There is no landscaping requirement for single family
projects.
Entrance Sign
The development proposes an entrance sign, located near the entrance off of Dell Rd. This sign
will be located on one of the lots and will be required to comply with signage requirements
through the sign permit process.
Early Land Alteration
The developers have requested authorization for early land alteration and demolition permits,
to allow the project to begin at their risk prior to the 2nd reading. The developers have agreed
to allow Heritage Preservation personnel to document the existing farm structures prior to
demolition.
Public Comments
Prior to the Planning Commission meeting, a group of 8 residents sent in a comment letter
outlining their primary concerns with visual impact of the development and the impact to their
property values.
Home value. The City Assessor has noted that the home value of ‘for sale’ homes is
influenced by a number of factors; including time of year, condition of the property, motivation
of the seller, etc., and there is no evidence that a single family residential development proposal
has a direct negative influence on the home values of adjacent lots in Eden Prairie. The
developer stated that the villa homes in the development will start in the $900,000 range,
which is generally higher than the adjacent homes.
Visual impact. This project includes 6 new single family homes that directly abut an
existing single family home. These homes are villa homes, designed to be narrower and no
more than 2 stories in height, reducing the massing impact. These smaller lots will minimize the
size of the home, and the conforming side yard setbacks will retain open views to the south.
The tree replacement plan shows some additional landscape screening along the north property
line to mitigate some of the visual impact. The table below illustrates the distance between the
proposed homes and the existing adjacent lots. In the neighborhood to the north, existing back
to back separations range between 73 feet and more than 117 feet.
Review Period. The 120 day project review period ends on September 21, 2026.
Planning Commission Comment and Recommendation
The Planning Commission at its meeting on June 8th recommended approval on an 8-0 vote.
Commission members recognized the changes coming to the neighborhood and commented on
appropriateness of the single family development and the reduction in traffic from the earlier
project. Commissioners commented that it is not typical to screen like to like uses.

RESOLUTION
APPROVING PARK DEDICATION FEES FOR MARSHALL FARMS FOR MARSHALL
FARMS, LLC
WHEREAS/BE IT RESOLVED, the Marshall Farms project includes a subdivision of property
resulting in 50 single family home sites (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS/BE IT RESOLVED, 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/BE IT RESOLVED, 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/BE IT RESOLVED, the payment of cash park fees in lieu of land dedication is
appropriate given the nature of the use on the property; and
WHEREAS/BE IT RESOLVED, the City’s current fee ordinance at the time of building permit
issuance sets the cash park fee per residential unit, which is calculated in accordance with Minn.
Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b(c);
WHEREAS/BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council held a public hearing at its July 14, 2026 meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED 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 Marshall Farms project.
1. The Project does not include available land that is suitable for parkland.
2. The Project includes the construction of 50 single-family units. Development and
occupancy of the units is expected to have an impact on the City’s parks and trail system.
3. The Project is adjacent to Crestwood Park and the Riley Creek Conservation Area,
increasing the likelihood that residents of the Project will use the City’s trails, parks, and
open spaces.
4. The development has sidewalks that connect to the broader public trail and sidewalk
system. The City improves and maintains the public 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 14th day of July, 2026.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes developing the 32 acre Marshall Farm property at 9905 Dell Road into
50 single family residential lots, along with associated improvements necessary to support that
use, including street extensions, utility extensions, and stormwater management. The proposal
includes deeding approximately 13.18 acres in the south half of the property to the City for
natural resource preservation.
REQUESTED ACTIONS
• Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Medium Density Residential to Low Density
Residential on 8.69 acres
• Planned Unit Development Concept Plan Review on 32.13 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with Waivers on 32.13 acres
• Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 13.58 acres, and from Rural to Parks and
Open Space on 13.18 acres
• Preliminary Plat of 32.11 acres into 50 lots and 5 outlots
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ BACKGROUND
The property is located at 9905 Dell Road, and has recently been used as an agricultural farm,
and includes several farm related structures and a farmhouse. The north half of the parcel is
farm field, and the southern half, south of a natural bluff line, is characterized by steep slopes,
and natural vegetation. The application is for approvals necessary to develop the 32 acre parcel
into 50 single family lots, 5 outlots, and street right of way. Internal public streets will extend
Crestwood Terrace from Dell Road to Canopy Trail in the northeast corner of the site. Outlot E
will be deeded to the City, and a portion of this will be used for the Dell Road reconstruction
project. The remainder will be preserved as a natural resource; trails are planned for the future.
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 2 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONING
The application proposes reguiding 8.69 acres of
Medium Density Residential to Low Density
Residential. The Medium Density Residential was a
product of the Marshall Gardens project approved
in 2024, which development approvals have since
expired. The result of this amendment will establish
the entire buildable area of the property north of
the creek as Low Density Residential; everything
south of the bluff line remains Parks & Open Space,
preserving this area for natural preservation.
The guide plan change, removing the Medium
Density Residential, supports single family homes,
which is the prominent land use in the area. The
applicant’s narrative notes that the proposed land
use change reflects the city’s historical goal for the
property and is compatible with the surrounding
land uses. The change in land use reduces density in
the area and will not negatively impact any city
services or transportation systems. The gross
density for the 32-acre property is 1.55 units per
acre. Within the buildable area, it is 3.68 units per
acre. Both of these densities are within the guided
density range of low density residential.
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment was distributed to 8 adjacent agencies, with
comments requested by June 10, 2026. To date, the City has not received any comments for or
against the proposal, just those stating there is no impact.
The applications propose zoning of the developable
area as R1-9.5 and south of the bluff line to Parks
and Open Space. These zoning districts are
consistent with the existing and proposed
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The preliminary plat includes 50 single family lots and 5 outlots, 4 of which will house stormwater
management features. The fifth outlot, Outlot E, will be deeded to the City and will be preserved
as open space.
Figure 1: Existing Land Use
Figure 2: Proposed Land Use
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 3
Two housing typologies are proposed. Smaller ‘villa’ type homes are located along the north
property line, and within the central block, while larger, more typical single family homes are
located on the west and south sides of Canopy Trail. The lots range in size between 8,107 and
16,544 (Villas) and 9,056-17,651 (typical) lots. The preliminary plat provides adequate easements
at the lot perimeters and were necessary to accommodate utilities and stormwater
management.
The villas proposed will be slab on grade, and many intended to feature single level living. The
villas will be around 2,200 sq ft. The larger homes will range between 4-5,000 sq ft above grade
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 4
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 waivers from the lot width, lot area, and
accessory structure maximum.
Lot Area. 24 of the 50 lots do not meet the minimum standard of 9,500 sq ft. The average lot
area is 10,720 sq ft, exceeding the minimum, but some of the lots do not meet this requirement
due to the characteristics of the property, stormwater, utilities, and street alignments.
Lot Width. 25 of the 50 lots do not meet the lot width requirements of 70 feet. (Those lots that
are in a cul de sac must be 55 feet wide; corner lots must be 90 feet wide.) The lot area and lot
width waivers can be supported because nearly half of the property is deeded to the City for the
preservation of the bluff area, and the additional units allow for the offset of expenses.
Front Yard Setback. The plat proposes a front yard setback of 25 feet, from the requirement of
30 feet. The reduces front yard setback pulls the buildings closer to the front lot lines, away from
the rear lot lines, establishing more distance from the residential units to the north, and from the
bluff line to the south.

Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 5 Accessory Garage Area / percentage. City Code establishes a maximum amount of garage/
accessory structure area of 7.5% of the lot area. Due in part to the proposed housing type, likely
demographic of homeowner, smaller lot areas, and a desire to reduce surface sheds in the rear
yards, the developer proposes incorporating these storage needs into the garages. Some of the
anticipated home plans include 3-4 stall garages. Add side setback waivers not requested.
Should list which lots are 9% are allowed. In order to maintain the overall intention of the
standard, City staff will work with the developer to specifically identify the lots requesting the 9%
waiver and include that list as part of the City Council materials.
A typical two stall garage in Eden Prairie is 576 sq ft, a three stall garage 864 sq ft. Applying the
7.5% limitation to the proposed lots, 32 of the 50 would not be of sufficient size to accommodate
a three stall garage and any accessory structure, including pools/ patios. This primarily impacts
lots smaller than 9,500 sq ft. The developers are requesting an accessory coverage maximum of
9% of the lot area. Staff will work with the developer to identify those specific lots to maintain
the desired objective of the regulation, prior to City Council.
The waivers are supportable as the plans directly reflect the stated purpose of the Planned Unit
Development process (efficient use of land, variety in type of environment available, and greater
creativity and flexibility in environmental design) by preserving the sensitive natural bluff area,
provision of two housing types, and enhanced landscaping along the north property line.
Additionally, the southern property lines of Block 2 have been pulled back from the top of the
bluff, providing further protection of this resource.
The front yard setback waiver is supportable because this pulls the homes closer to the street,
away from the rear yard, increasing the distance from the adjacent residential lots to the north
and the bluff to the south.
ACCESS AND STREET CONNECTIONS
Access to the site is via public streets, including Dell Road to the west, and Canopy Trail from the
north. The project includes an extension of Canopy Trail and Crestwood Terrace, and a new
street, currently proposed to be named Mable Lane.
TRAFFIC STUDY
The proposed 50-unit single-family subdivision is anticipated to generate 457 daily trips (35 a.m.
peak and 47 p.m. peak), which is approximately half of the traffic of the previously approved plan.
Traffic distribution assumptions indicate that approximately 40% of site traffic is expected to
travel northbound on Dell Road toward Pioneer Trail, 20% northbound on Canopy Trail towards
Dell Road and Pioneer Trail, 15% northbound on Crestwood Terrace toward Pioneer Trail, and
25% southbound on Dell Road toward County Highway 61. All intersections within the study area
are expected to continue operating at an efficient Level of Service with no significant operational
issues anticipated as a result of the proposed development.
The previously approved development, which consisted of 100 townhomes and 15 single-family
homes, was estimated to generate 892 daily trips (67 a.m. peak and 81 p.m. peak).
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 6 PARKING
The narrative notes each home will include 2-4 stall garages and the reduced setback will allow
for driveway parking without encroaching into the public street.
Each garage will include 1 EV ready charging station; additional stations can be added.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS
Sidewalks are proposed along one side of each of the streets, and will connect to the existing
sidewalks at Canopy Trail and the existing sidewalk along Dell Rd.
BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS
The City does not regulate design and materials for homes in single family development. For
reference, the developer’s narrative includes examples of planned elevations and floor plans for
the intended homes within the development. The homes are proposed to be built by McDonald
and Rieland Homes.
PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared on August 15, 2024. This assessment
has revealed no ASTM Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), no Controlled Recognized
Environmental Conditions (CRECs) and no Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions
(HRECs) in connection with the Subject Property.
WETLAND, SHORELAND, AND BLUFF
Development on the site is concentrated on the northern half of the site, north of the established
bluff line. In this area, no wetland has been identified. South of the bluff line is the bluff, steep
slopes, vegetated areas, and shoreland around Riley Creek. The outlot south of the bluff line, to
be owned and maintained by the City, will encompass and protect these sensitive areas. The
zoning district change will further protect this area long term.
ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR SPECIAL CONCERN SPECIES
A rare species assessment was completed on May 30, 2024. Within the developable area (north
of the bluff line), the report found the project will not result in impacts to state or federal
threatened, endangered, or special concern plant species or native plant communities, based on
available information and site observations.
DRAINAGE/STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater is managed carefully to avoid impact to the bluff. Water will be collected and routed
to one of four storm water ponds, in Outlots A-D. These ponds, because they collect water from
the public street, will be deeded to and maintained by the City. Stormwater management will
meet or exceed Watershed and City stormwater requirements.
UTILITIES
All lots will be served with City services, and new water and sanitary mains will be added as
necessary. These mains will be the City’s responsibility after they are accepted.
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 7 TREE LOSS AND TREE REPLACEMENT
A tree inventory of all heritage and significant trees has been completed. Of the 1,326 caliper
inches of Heritage trees, 103 inches of will being removed. 1,146 caliper inches of significant
trees (of the 7700 caliper inches) are removed, mostly in the area of the existing farmstead. Trees
south of the bluff line will not be removed as part of this project, though some will be removed
as part of the City’s reconstruction of Dell Road. With credit for preserving heritage trees, the
developer is responsible for replacing 145 caliper inches of trees. These are incorporated into
the landscaping plan, many located within the buffer area along the north property line.
TREE REPLACEMENT PLAN
The tree placement plan shows a variety of trees along the north property line, supplementing
existing trees off the property. Conflicts with the stormwater management system prevents
additional screening further to the east along the north property line. Additionally, trees are
proposed along Dell Road. The plan also shows a tree in the front yard of each lot, outside the
right of way and easements, to develop a natural street scape.
TREE REPLACEMENT PHASING
The phasing of the trees will be detailed in the development agreement, but it is anticipated that
the trees along the north and west property lines will be planted after grading and utility work,
and the trees along the interior streets will be planted later, after home construction has
departed that area.
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 8
HISTORIC/ARCHEOLOGICAL FEATURES AND/OR STRUCTURES
The house and barn have not been designated as a local heritage preservation site, having been
surveyed in 1993. The applicant has agreed to the request for photo documentation prior to
demolition.
Being close to the river bluff, there is a potential for historical features related to prior
occupancy of the land. In the event evidence is found during construction, the developer is
required through the Development Agreement to contact the appropriate authorities,
complying with state and federal regulations.
PARK FEES
Park dedication will be required for each of the homes within the project to be paid at the time
of individual building permit issuance.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Assessments will be required with this project. Trunk assessments at the rate of $10,187/acre
will apply to the net assessable acreage of 18.96 acres. There is a deduct for previously paid $520
on this property, for a total trunk assessment of $192,629.59. The property has two deferred
assessments for $1,167.83 and $22,081.03. The deferred assessments are for Green Acres Parcel
and will be deferred until loss of Green Acres Status. The deferred assessments will be due within
90 days of the property sale. Also, the property is subject to assessments for the City’s Dell Road
project. The preliminary amount is $847,600. This assessment will be levied after completion of
the Dell Rd project. Final amounts will be determined at time of payment or finalizing the
special assessment agreement.
AIRPORT
The property is in the airport safety zone for the Flying Cloud Airport. The airport had no
comment on the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments, and a disclosure for potential
noise and other impacts will be required of each first time resident, outlined in the Development
Agreement.
SIGNS
A private monument sign is anticipated near the corner of Crestwood Terrace and Dell Road.
Signs are required to comply with the applicable city code and maintenance will be the
responsibility of the Homeowners Association, or the property owner.
PROJECT PHASING
The project will be graded in the first phase of the project, with homes to be built in the following
2-4 years. The development agreement will likely include a provision for two model homes, to be
completed in the first phase, subject to Building and Fire Department approval.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND RESIDENT INPUT
A neighborhood meeting was held on May 12th. The developer reported receiving comments
regarding screening along the north property line, construction specifics of Dell Rd, and the need
for trails within the natural area.
Staff Report – Marshall Farms June 8, 2026 Page 9
Staff has received written comments, jointly authored by 6 households in the neighborhood to
the north. These comments are attached. The comments, in general raise concern about density
calculation, views from/ and into their property, and property value.

Rural to Parks and Open Space on approximately 13.18 acres
5. Preliminary Plat of 32.13 acres into 50 single family lots, public streets
and 5 outlots.
Barnhart displayed the preliminary plat and presented the staff report. This
application sought a change to the Comprehensive Plan and to the zoning of the
area from Rural to R1-9.5 Residential. The area would be subdivided into 50
single-family homes and five outlots for stormwater management ponds and for
open space along the bluff. The application included a PUD Concept Review with
waivers to lot area, lot width, front yard setback and garage storage area. 24 of
the lots would not meet the lot width requirement. The average lot size was over
10,000 square feet. The front yard setback requested was 25 down from the
required 30 feet. This brought houses away from the rear property line to the
north and south, which formed the bluff line.
This parcel had been proposed for development in 2024, but the previous
approvals expired, and the zoning reverted to Rural. This was an entirely new
proposal. The Commission Member packets included comments received from
neighbors and staff would address these:
There was concern that much of the donated land was undevelopable, steep
slopes and bluffs. These areas would be dedicated to the City, and guided Parks
and Open Space, especially the land south of the development. The City owns
many of these types of properties. There were some flat areas south of the creek
that could be developed but would be retained as open space as well. The park
and open space areas were an offset of the PUDs requested. This would shift
density into the development.
There was concern that density was inaccurately calculated. 13 acres would be
developed, the rest being undevelopable or right-of-way. The calculation is made
on gross density in Eden Prairie. The low density designation anticipates density
in the 0.1-5 units per acre range. This development had 3.6 units an acre, well
within the Comprehensive Plan guidelines.
There was concern about the “wall effect” created along the north property line,
since there was minimal space between the homes here. There were no waivers
requested for side yard setback, since all met all requirements in this respect. It
was not out of character for a R-19.5 Zoning District.
There was concern regarding privacy loss along this north side, but the
separation was typical, between 70 to 120 feet, as many of the homes would
back up to a pond. However, the developer did address this to reduce the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 8, 2026
Page 3
setback to bring houses away from the property line. There was no
landscaping/screening requirement for single-family residential developments.
The developer proposed to replace trees along the north property line, but not
all the way across, due to stormwater drainage requirements.
There was concern that this development did not have a landscaping plan, but
there was one, and it exceeded requirements. There was concern regarding
property values and market impacts. The City Assessor did not find evidence this
development would adversely impact the existing, thriving neighborhoods. Six of
the last eight house sales had prices that exceeded the assessed housing values.
House sales depended upon a number of criteria, many of which were not under
control of the City. This development has been discussed for three years. As a
rule, new residential developments did not negatively impact existing residential
developments.
Farr asked for and received confirmation the land had been guided low density
residential in the past but then had reverted to Rural when the previous
proposal was abandoned, and there were no side yard setback waivers being
proposed. He asked for and received confirmation there would be 18 regular lots
instead of 12 larger lots along the north side. He noted with the smaller side yard
setbacks there would be more open, or “negative” space and more visibility.
Barnhart agreed; with larger lots there could be larger houses built, leading
perhaps to less visibility.
Steve Schweeters, owner of Wooddale Builders, detailed the application. He
stated there had been and would be more meetings with the existing residents
of the area. This would be a 50-unit single-family home development with a villa
style. The houses would be affordable. Wooddale Builders had also developed
Stable Path and Highland Oaks and was making an effort to keep price points
down.
Dan Schmidt, civil engineer, stated he had worked with City staff for six months.
The sanitary sewer would have access on Dell Road and on Canopy Trail. The
stormwater treatment design met requirements. This design had been sent to
the Watershed District, and he was working through the comments. He
displayed a comparison to the 2024 Marshall Farms project, showing fewer
homes and lots, less density, a lower number of trips per day (down 45 percent),
EV-ready garages and solar-panel-ready homes, and a similar plan for trails. He
noted the current proposed density was closer to the original guidance for the
property.
The development would have 28 villa homes and 22 single-family homes. The
villas would have 55-foot-wide lots, and there would be single-family homes
along the south side. The villa lots would have a 68-foot area and a 25-foot front
yard setback for parking and to increase the backyard space. A couple of the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 8, 2026
Page 4
single-family lots would be below the minimum of 9,500 feet to protect the bluff.
Schmidt described the landscape plan, which included an entrance monument,
sidewalks connecting to the park areas, and one tree in the front yard of every
home. The developed had increased the screening by 50 percent along the north
after the comments from a neighborhood meeting.
Paul Reiland of Johnson Reiland Homes introduced David Rennet of McDonald
Construction. Reiland stated Johnson Reiland would build the villas and half of
the single-family homes. He displayed the villa models and floor plans. The target
market for these were empty nesters and retirees. The houses would be slab-on-
grade and wheelchair-friendly. These would be 150-foot deep lots, deeper than
usual.
Rennet stated McDonald Construction would build the non-slab, single-family
homes, which would be a mix of rambler and two-story homes. The ramblers
would have basements. These homes would range from 3,000 to 4,000 square
feet. Rennet displayed the rambler single-family home model with the three-car
garage.
Reiland displayed another single-family home rambler model (Fall Parade House)
and the two-story, 6,000 square foot single family homes with three- and four-
car garages.
Rennet stated McDonald Construction was a Green Path builder incorporating
sustainability and energy efficiency, including solar, EV-ready garages, triple-
pane windows, and other future-ready features.
Richard Koppy, of 9872 Crestwood Terrace, stated he lived across from where
the development would be. He stated he moved here from Minnetonka, and was
happy with the current design, as were his neighbors. However, he stated the
City of Eden Prairie needed to use this development as an impetus to complete
the neighborhood, which he did not see happening. He urged the City to try to
finish the neighborhoods with landscaping, trails and a better street system.
Speed on Dell Road, where he and his wife walked his dogs, was a concern. He
suggested a roundabout between Flying Cloud Drive and Pioneer Trail to control
speed. The Pioneer Road detour on Dell Road was already contributing traffic; he
wished the City to look at the entire situation once everything was paved and
have a landscape plan for Dell Road. He also suggested constructing a parkway,
similar to Bear Path homes.
Koppy added that five years ago the City staked his backyard for the right-of-way
for a trail system, but it was never utilized. He envisioned a trail system to Lake
Riley. He asked the City to at least plan it and tie the various parts of the
neighborhood together. He also urged there be more public meetings regarding
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 8, 2026
Page 5
these issues. Overall he commended the proposal.
Larry Erickson, of 9752 Laforet Drive, also commended the development, but
added there were a lot of dead trees along the lot line, in the City outlot, and
urged staff to work with the developer.
Daniel Knitt, of 97191 Geisler Road, stated that two homes valued at 875,000
instead sold for 750,000. Increased density lowered property values because
homebuyers did not want to move into an overly populated area. He added the
neighborhood had submitted a letter bringing up six points of concern. He
suggested the developer shift the pond to the north. He found Farr’s comment
regarding negative space valid but added reducing the houses to a 12-count
from an 18-count would give a more spacious feel by opening up the northern
wall. Traffic would also increase due to the waivers; not approving the waivers
would give a more community feel to the development.
Barb Hamilton-Susted, of 9711 Geisler Road, stated that the north “wall effect”
impacted six or seven homes directly. She stated she understood the length
versus depth concept but urged the commission to go beyond the minimum lot
size. She found this was not a good look, and it would decrease home values.
Home values were dropping in her neighborhood, according to recent home
sales near her (150,000 instead of the median 202,000 or the 185,000 value from
two years ago). She also asked if the proposed homes would be affordable, since
price points were not mentioned.
MOTION: Schumacher moved, seconded by Kirk, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 9-0.
Duncan stated Copy’s comments would be addressed in the Comprehensive
Planning process.
Barnhart stated the comment regarding dead trees could be shared with the
Parks and Recreation Department. Bourne stated staff was would be working
with the developer to remove the dead trees.
Reiland stated the villas would start in the $900,000 range for a single level, and
the single family homes in the middle million range, some to break two million
dollars.
Schumacher asked for and received confirmation the waiver for the front yard
setback was for all of the homes in the development.
Farr asked for and received confirmation the previous design had a through-
route along Crestwood Trail. He found the current configuration of Crestwood an
improvement. There had also been a “wall” comment on the south side of the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 8, 2026
Page 6
last development that came through the commission in 2024. Larger lot sizes
could contribute larger, multistoried homes rather than the slab-grade homes
proposed.
Kirk stated he frequently drove Dell Road and understood the traffic concerns,
and for an overview on Dell Road. Schulze replied there was future project to
pave the gravel section of Dell Road. It would occur along with this development.
There would be more curves, giving a more natural look, and it would remain a
30-mph state-aid street. It would keep the same look and design feel down the
bluff section of this development.
Taylor asked what species of trees would be used for screening. Reiland replied
this was in the landscape plan and there would be 19 Black Hill Spruce trees and
13 Norway Spruce trees, eight evergreen trees and a number of maple trees.
Taylor asked if there could be more evergreens planted, and Reiland replied he
was not the landscape architect, but this could be done. Schweeters stated there
would be another neighborhood meeting to address all these concerns. More
trees could be worked out with the builder, and the homeowners could of
course plant more. Evergreens would be staggered with deciduous trees for
screening during the winter months.
Duncan stated it was her understand that screening like for like zoning was not
typically done and she was not sure all of that screening was necessary, yet it
had been increased to accommodate residents’ concerns. Farr agreed, adding
transitions between zones requiring screening, but this was single-family to
single-family, not requiring neighborhood walls with tree thickets.
Kirk stated any major development was a big deal to the residents who lived
near it. This area had undergone two development iterations, and he found the
outcome a good one. The density dropped traffic significantly (45 percent). He
reminded that the commission needed to represent three major groups in Eden
Prairie: the residents, the staff who enforced regulations and standards, and the
new homeowners. He found this to be a reasonable balance and supported the
development.
Duncan stated she appreciated the developer’s hard work and found this to be
an improvement over the previous proposal. She added she was not a fan of the
northern line of lots but in general she found this to be a good development.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Schumacher, to recommend approval for the
Guide Plan change, PUD Concept Review, PUD District Review, Zoning Change,
and Preliminary Plat as recommended by staff as represented in the June 8, 2026
staff report Motion carried 9-0.

B. Code Amendment – Data Centers (2026-01CA)
1. Request for approval to amend City Code, Chapter 11 relative to
definition and regulation of Data Centers.
Duncan stated she would abstain from voting due to her employment with Excel
but would be a part of the discussion. Taylor also abstained from the voting due
to his employment with Mortensen . Barnhart presented the staff report. The
City of Eden Prairie was attempting to get ahead of the ongoing discussion in
other cities by being proactive and establish reasonable regulations for Data
Centers. The City could not prohibit data centers, but they could be located in
the I-GEN Zoning District. Data Centers were defined as standalone businesses,
not a server room. The amendment would establish specific standards: minimal
proximity to residential (700 feet), minimal proximity to mechanical units, and
submittal requirements. The City would also require a data center recycle the
water used and to use renewable energy sources, among other sustainability
requirements.
Grote asked if there were inquiries or application to build a data center in Eden
Prairie; Barnhart said there had not. Farr suggested there could be a conflict with
the nuisance ordinances, which measured in decibels. Barnhart replied this new
requirement would be in addition to, not in replacement of, the current nuisance
ordinances.
Daniel Knitt, of 97191 Geisler Road, stated he built data centers for a number of
years, and approved of the City being proactive. His concern was what happened
to the space previously occupied by the data center once it was empty, and the
impacts of any flash floods or fire. He asked if the City had the infrastructure to
scale and support a data center, which could cause a ripple effect.
MOTION: Schumacher moved, seconded by Palmisano, to close the public
hearing. Motion carried 9-0.
Barnhart stated Knitt’s concerns were what City staff were trying to address with
this amendment and he appreciated the comments.
Palmisano asked if there were any lessons learned from other cities already
grappling with this issue, and what the next steps were. Barnhart replied the City
Council would approve the ordinance if the commission voted for approval
tonight. Any applicant would then have the information and staff would work
with them to meet the requirements. He did not anticipate a large data center in
Eden Prairie as those seen in the news.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Palmisano, to recommend approval to

Centers as recommended by staff as represented in the June 8, 2026 staff report
Motion carried 7-0 with two abstentions (Duncan and Taylor).
VI. Reports
A. Planners report
Barnhart stated the 2050 Comprehensive Plan review process had started. The goal was to
submit the revision to the Metropolitan Council in December 2027. This was not a
complete rewrite, but an update. A consultant was hired to conduct the housing study
and other departments had also retained consultants. An update will be discussed in the
October Council Workshop.
B. Members’ reports
VII. Adjournment
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Taylor, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 9-
0. Chair Duncan adjourned the meeting at 8:28 p.m.
To: Eden Prairie planning commission
We wanted to share our concerns with the proposed development as it currently stands.
While we appreciate the reduction in total units, the current project layout simply shifts the conflict from a traffic
conversation to a severe privacy and home values concern. The burden of this building density is born primarily by the
existing adjacent Geisler Road residents. It is important for the Commission to note that there are two distinct audiences
among the affected community members:
1. The General Vicinity Neighbors: Residents in the wider neighborhood who naturally prioritize broader
infrastructure concerns like walking paths, greenways, and traffic flow.
2. The Directly Adjacent Neighbors: Homeowners along the northern border whose immediate quality of life,
privacy, and property values face severe, direct erosion.
While the developer’s current modifications may placate vicinity traffic concerns, they actively amplify the privacy and
home value issues driven by negative visual massing and space compression felt by those of us sharing a property line.
Those along the northern border are most directly impacted, and our protection should be the city's highest priority.
1. The "Conservation" Misnomer
Wooddale Builders emphasizes that 13 acres are being "preserved" as open space along the bluff corridor and Riley
Creek. We challenge the framing of this constraint as an altruistic community benefit:
• Topographical Constraints: This "preserved" land consists entirely of protected wetlands, steep bluffs, and Riley
Creek. These are areas that are structurally unbuildable due to mandatory city setbacks and extreme, cost-
prohibitive stabilization requirements.
• The Reality: The developer is not "giving" land back to Eden Prairie out of community goodwill. They are simply
designating legally unbuildable terrain as a green counterweight to justify extreme, compressed high-density
zoning on the remaining small fraction of buildable acreage. We request that the committee explicitly distinguish
between functional topographical constraints and authentic conservation. Density is calculated based on
buildable land only and at a min, this is on the higher end. We would like to understand the calculation.
2. Density, "Visual Massing" & The Wall Effect
While the developer claims a reduction in units is a win, the density of the footprint along the northern edge remains the
core issue. This modification addresses regional traffic metrics but does nothing to solve the severe localized building
density footprint along the northern boundary.
• The "Wall" Effect: The proposed tight clustering of homes creates a continuous, high-mass "wall of buildings"
rather than reflecting the open, residential neighborhood character established in this section of Eden Prairie.
• Privacy Incursion: These structures sit aggressively close to our rear property lines, completely looming over
existing backyards, blocking out mature trees, and diminishing open sky. To evaluate this fairly, the commission
must require the developer to provide the exact rear setback distances and demonstrate how they align with the
historical, established character of the Geisler Road home layouts to ensure everyone's privacy is maintained.

Daniel & Lelani McNitt
Barb Hamilton-Sustad – 9711 Geisler Rd
Frank Gerard Vernoia – 9724 Geisler Rd.
3. The Buffer & Landscaping Gap
A primary point of contention is that the developer is seeking preliminary approval without concrete commitments to
screening.
• Admission of Missing Details: In written correspondence, the developer's Director of Sales and Marketing
openly admitted that the preliminary plat map currently under review does not reflect a landscaping or
screening plan.
• The Regression: Earlier concept plans for this development site explicitly featured green buffers and ponds to
protect existing homeowners—elements that have been completely wiped out in favor of placing massive
residential blocks directly against our property lines.
• Direct Question to the Committee: “Why has the vital greenery and perimeter screening from previous iterations
been stripped away, forcing existing residents to absorb the full visual impact of this density?”
4. Property Value & "Broader Community" Benefit
The developer argues that adding public trails and open space benefits the city as a whole. However, a benefit to the
broader community should never be subsidized by the immediate erosion of neighboring property values.
• Local Market Deterioration: This overdevelopment threat is already actively harming our local market. We are
seeing homes in the immediate vicinity drop to a devastating $158/sq ft in the most recent sale — a massive,
documented plunge away from the $202 Eden Prairie average and historical local baselines from just two years
ago. The proposed development was given as the reason for the lower offer by several of the bidders. If this
project is approved, we would need to seek a corresponding reduction in taxes.
• The Aesthetic Conflict: As noted by residents, tightly packed, high-density detached structures with narrow
spacing look less like a single-family neighborhood and more like an invasive "row of apartments". We challenge
the committee to protect the neighborhood's economic health and ensure the new layout matches the value
and aesthetics of the surrounding Geisler Road estates.
Formal Closing Request
The developer has stated that they are operating as a large team and may deflect specific engineering, landscaping, or
setback inquiries during public comment by promising to address them "later in the process".
Because post-approval promises offer no legal protection to current homeowners, we formally request that the
Planning Commission table postpone any preliminary plat approvals until the developer submits and we have
agreement on the following:
1. A complete, legally binding building, architectural landscaping and visual screening plan.
2. A formal engineering and structural stabilization report regarding the bluff corridor and water runoff constraints.
3. Exact physical dimensions of the rear setbacks, side-by-side with the current setback profiles of the affected
Geisler Road properties.
City Council Agenda Cover Memo
Date: July 14, 2026
Section: Public Hearing
Item Number: VIII.B.
Department: Community Development/Planning
Julie Klima/Sarah Strain
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Told Development Company, the property owner, is proposing to redevelop the northern
portion of the parking lot at 11609 Leona Road. This is Phase II of a redevelopment project. The
partial demolition and remodel of Office Depot into Planet Fitness and underground stormwater
management in the parking lot were Phase I. A drive-thru Starbucks was also approved in Phase
I; this project is no longer moving forward, and a new drive-thru Shake Shack is proposed to be
constructed in the northwest corner of the site instead. A new Valvoline Instant Oil Change is
proposed to be constructed in the northeast corner of the site. The developer is proposing to
plat the property so each building has its own parcel.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to
• Close the public hearing; and
• Adopt a Resolution for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan Review on 3.44
acres; and
• Approve the 1st Reading of an Ordinance for PUD District Review with Waivers on 3.44
acres; and
• Adopt a Resolution for a Preliminary Plat of three lots and one outlot on 3.44 acres; and
• Direct Staff to prepare an Amendment to the Development Agreement incorporating
Staff and Commission recommendations and Council conditions.
SUMMARY
The property is zoned Commercial-Regional-Services (C-REG-SER) and is guided Regional
Commercial in the comprehensive guide plan. There are no proposed zoning or guide plan
changes with this application.
Site Plan
A new drive-thru Shake Shack is proposed for the northwest corner of the site. The new building
will be roughly 3,150 square feet and will offer both drive-thru and dine-in options for
customers. The drive-thru will be on the north side of the building, along Leona Road, allowing
parking to be located behind the building and to better facilitate cross-parking and access
between the parcels. A Valvoline Instant Oil Change is proposed for the northeast corner of the
site. The building will have three (3) drive-thru bays and be approximately 1,870 square feet.
The remainder of
the north portion
of the lot will be
part of the Planet
Fitness parcel and
be a parking lot to
support all site
users. There are
cross parking
agreements for all
three (3) 11609
Leona Road users
(Shake Shack,
Valvoline, and
Planet Fitness) and between 11609 Leona Road and 11611 Leona Road, the Qdoba/Caribou
building. The image above shows the proposed site plan.
Preliminary Plat
The developer is proposing to subdivide 11609 Leona Road into three (3) lots and one (1) outlot.
The three (3) new lots meet the lot dimensional standards of the C-REG-SER zoning district.
Both new buildings will encroach into the front yard setback to accommodate required parking
and internal traffic circulation; all other setbacks are to be met. The specific waiver requests are
outlined in more detail below. Each building in the Preliminary Plat will have its own parcel and
enough parking spaces on the parcel to meet City Code requirements. The stormwater pond
along Flying Cloud Drive will be in an outlot, owned and maintained by Told Development. Park
dedication fees were paid on this site when it was redeveloped in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Signs
The developer is requesting a sign size wavier to increase the size of the freestanding sign at the
intersection of Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road. The waiver would allow up to 116 square
feet of freestanding signage at the intersection and a 107 square foot sign base to support the
structure. A sketch of the proposed sign design is shown on the following page. The current site
plan shows this freestanding sign at the intersection and a smaller, code compliant sign along
Den Road in the southeast corner of the property, where there is an existing sign.
City Code allows one (1) freestanding
sign per street frontage for Commercial
zoned property. With the Preliminary
Plat creating three (3) lots, this would
create the potential for a total of five
(5) signs in this development; one for
Shake Shack’s Leona Road frontage,
two (2) for Valvoline’s frontages, and
two (2) for Planet Fitness with frontage
on both Den and Leona Roads. If all
signs were maximized, there could be a
total of 312 square feet of signage
along Den and Leona Roads. The
maximum sign area the developer is
proposing is 152 square feet; 116
square feet at the intersection of Flying
Cloud Drive and Leona Road and 36
square feet along Den Road.
Consolidated signage is generally
encouraged in PUD areas to address
sign proliferation.
City Code allows the sign base to be a maximum of half the size of the sign. With a proposed
area of 116 square feet, the maximum sign base permitted would be 58 square feet. The total
area of the two columns is 107 square feet. The additional sign base area supports the larger
sign area requested and accounts for the brick columns that contribute to the site’s higher
architectural standard. The open space between the columns minimizes massing of the sign
structure.
There is an existing agreement that allows off-site signage for the tenants at 11611 Leona Road
to have signage at the Flying Cloud Drive/Leona Road sign location. This was approved when
11611 Leona Road was platted and built in the early 2000s. This is a unique circumstance given
11611 Leona Road is landlocked and would otherwise not be allowed freestanding signage.
With the Preliminary Plat, the allowance for off-site signage will need to be expanded to allow
Lots 2 and 3 to install signage off-site on Lot 1. Permitting off-site signage through a waiver
would allow the current conditions to continue once the new property lines are created.
While the applicant is reusing the existing piers for the freestanding sign, the sign was built
within the required 15-foot setback, meaning a waiver is needed to approve the current sign
location and allow reuse of the piers. The sign is located approximately 10 feet from the
property line and has been in this location since 1997.

Cloud Drive and Leona Road.
Planned Unit Development Waivers
This project is requesting a PUD Concept Plan Review and District Review with waivers. The
following waivers from City Code requirements are requested as part of this project:
A. Front Yard Setback: City Code requires structures in the Commercial-Regional-Services
zoning district to be setback a minimum of 35 feet from front lot lines. The proposed
Shake Shack building is setback 18.5 feet from the north property line. The proposed
Valvoline building is setback 21.3 feet from the east property line.
B. Sign Size: City Code allows Commercial zoned properties freestanding signage on every
street frontage with one (1) sign/frontage allowed 80 square feet of signage and each
subsequent frontage being allowed 36 square feet of signage. The applicant is proposing
to take two (2) of the allowed sign areas and combine them into one (1) larger sign at
the main intersection, Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road. To support the larger sign area
size, a larger sign base is also required. The proposed sign needs a waiver to allow a 107
square foot base.
C. Sign Location: The Preliminary Plat creates new lots, meaning a waiver is needed to
support off-site signage in the PUD area on sign at the Flying Cloud Drive/Leona Road
intersection. A waiver for off-site freestanding signage for Lots 2 and 3 of the Preliminary
Plat is requested. As previously mentioned, a waiver was granted to allow off-site
signage for 11611 Leona Road on the 11609 Leona Road sign. The three (3) lots in the
Preliminary Plat and 11611 Leona Road create a unified development with shared
access, parking, and maintenance. Shared signage supports a unified PUD area and
reduces visual clutter from signs elsewhere on the site.
City Code requires signs to be setback at least 15 feet from the public right-of-way. The
applicant is reusing the current sign base for the new freestanding sign. However, the
sign was installed within the 15 foot setback requirement. To reuse the existing base, a
waiver is needed to approve a 10.5 foot setback from Leona Road. The sign has existed
in this location since 1997, and the base will be refurbished when the new sign is
installed.
Building and Architecture
As part of a PUD area, the intention with infill buildings is to carry the visual qualities of other
structures in the area through to the new structures to create a unified environment within the
PUD boundary area. The Valvoline building is proposed to be brick, stone, and glass. The
building meets the City’s architectural standards, and the materials used complement the
existing building onsite. Renderings of the proposed building are shown on the following page.
The Shake Shack proposes to use brick, stone, and glass in their design. The cream color
complements the EFIS on the Planet Fitness, and the dark brown brick for the “back of house” is
a similar color to the accent bands on Planet Fitness. The wainscoting, columns between the
glass doors and windows, and drive-thru window area are stone. The Valvoline and Planet
Fitness buildings both use stone on the lower half of the façade, supporting a cohesive design.
The elevations below reflect the recommended changes from the Planning Commission.
Rendering of North and West Sides of Valvoline,
which faces Leona Road and the entrance driveway.
Access and Traffic
The northeast driveway access on Den Road will be closed to remove conflict between incoming
traffic and vehicles exiting Valvoline. The access further south on Den Road will remain; this was
built with the Planet Fitness remodel. The driveway access on Leona Road will shift slightly to
the east. The access will still align with the Best Buy driveway on the north side of Leona Road.
The entrance off Leona Road will be extended into the site, creating a “T” intersection in the
center of the site where vehicles will choose to turn right to the new Shake Shack or 11611
Leona Road or to the left for Planet Fitness or Valvoline. This will allow incoming traffic more
time to decide which way to turn within the site, and it provides queue space for vehicles
waiting to exit the site onto Leona Road.
There are existing sidewalks along Leona Road and Den Road within the public right-of-way. The
developer proposes an ADA compliant sidewalk connecting the sidewalk on Leona Road to the
Shake Shack and Planet Fitness buildings. The sidewalk will run parallel to the new entrance off
Leona Road.
A traffic study was conducted as part of this application given the increased number of
commercial uses on the site. Most traffic to the site is anticipated to come from the Flying Cloud
Drive/Leona Road/Town Center Place intersection. The study found there is enough capacity in
the surrounding road system to accommodate additional development without creating
congested conditions at nearby intersections or roads.
Parking
Shake Shack needs a minimum of 24 parking stalls per City Code and is meeting that
requirement. Planet Fitness requires a minimum of 93 parking stalls and is providing 105. The
Valvoline meets the required 10 parking stalls by City Code. The overall PUD area will have 140
stalls in total, exceeding the number of stalls required by City Code for all three (3) uses. This
total does not include the stalls at 11611 Leona Road. There is an existing cross-access, parking,
and maintenance agreement between 11609 and 11611 Leona Road.
A parking analysis was conducted as part of this application. The analysis found the west side of
the site, 11611 Leona Road and Shake Shack, will likely be overcapacity during lunch hours. In
response, the developer removed a third use from the site and increased the size of the Shake
Shack lot, allowing additional parking in the immediate area. Further, there is a shared parking
agreement in place, so customers may park north or east of Planet Fitness and walk to
destinations on the west half of the site. The analysis recommended a cross-parking agreement
for the properties to consider having all employees park on the east side of the site to increase
the number of available parking spaces on the west side of the site for customers.
Shoreland
11609 Leona Road is located in the Shoreland Overlay Zoning District. With the recent
amendment to the Shoreland Ordinance, commercial projects in the Shoreland Overlay Zoning
District are allowed up to 70 percent impervious surface coverage or the total impervious
surface area in existence on January 6, 2026. As of January 6, 2026, the site had 75 percent
impervious surface coverage. The proposal reduces impervious surface coverage to 72.5
percent.
Tree Loss
Given the developed nature of the site, there will be little grading involved with the project.
However, several trees will be removed to accommodate the new parking lot layout and
buildings. Sites with approved landscape plans like 11609 Leona Road replace removed trees
with a 1:1 ratio rather than by the replacement formula. A total of 24 trees will be removed,
meaning 24 trees will need to be replanted on the site. The applicant is proposing to remove 16
significant trees. Eight (8) insignificant trees will also be removed.
Trees have already been removed around the stormwater pond. These trees were not included
as removals on the Phase I Redevelopment Plan. Per the Development Agreement, trees
removed above and beyond the approved tree removal plan require replacement on a caliper
inch to caliper inch basis. Five (5) of these trees removed were significant and one (1) was
insignificant. The Developer will be required to plant approximately 89 caliper inches onsite or
pay fee in lieu to the tree preservation fund for caliper inches that cannot be met onsite. The
Development Agreement will include language to address this requirement and confirm the
required caliper inch replacement.
Landscaping and Tree Replacement Plan
The Valvoline building is over 20 feet tall; City Code requires single story buildings over 20 feet
tall to double the landscaping requirement to match the landscaping onsite to the scale of the
building. Valvoline is required to provide 12 caliper inches of landscaping per City Code, and
Shake Shack is required to provide 10 caliper inches. The landscaping plan includes both
landscaping trees, vegetated parking lot islands, and shrubs that exceed the requirements of
City Code. Consistent with other infill development projects for sites with approved landscape
plans, removed trees will be replaced on a 1:1 ratio. 34 trees will be removed, and 34
replacement trees are provided around the new buildings and stormwater pond. The
landscaping plan meets the city code requirements, and the tree replacement requirements will
be outlined in the development agreement.
Sustainability
The Sustainable Building Standard does not apply to this project. As part of the PUD, the
developer will install two (2) electric vehicle charging stations on the Shake Shack property.
Planning Commission Recommendation
Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development
Concept Plan Review, Planned Unit Development District Review with Waivers, Preliminary Plat,
and Site Plan Review on 3.44 acres. This was conditioned on the developer submitting revised
building elevations for the Shake Shack building showing additional color contrast or material
continuity to tie both sections of the building together. This has been addressed by using the
same stone material as wainscoting on both sections of the building. The previous version had a
different style of stone between the glass doors and windows on the main entrance façade.
Using the same stone material between the glass and as the wainscoting helps tie all sections of
the building together.
The Planning Commission recommendation for approval was also conditioned on the tree
removal exhibit and landscaping/tree replacement plan being updated to account for trees
removed outside of the previously approved plans for the site. The tree replacement caliper
inches can be planted onsite or if the remainder of the replacement requirement will be paid to
the tree preservation fund. This will be addressed in the Development Agreement Amendment
to finalize the caliper inch replacement requirement.
The project review period ends on September 25, 2026.

September 25, 2026
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Told Development Company, the property owner, is proposing to redevelop the northern
portion of the parking lot at 11609 Leona Road. A new drive-thru Shake Shack is proposed to be
constructed in the northwest corner of the site, and a new Valvoline Instant Oil Change is
proposed to be constructed in the northeast corner of the site. The developer is proposing to
plat the property so each building has its own parcel.
REQUESTED ACTIONS
• Planned Unit Development Concept Plan Review on 3.44 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with Waivers on 3.44 acres
• Preliminary Plat of 3.44 acres into three lots and one outlot
• Site Plan Review on 3.44 acres
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ BACKGROUND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The property is zoned Commercial-Regional-Services (C-REG-SER) and is guided Regional
Commercial in the comprehensive guide plan. There are no proposed zoning or guide plan
changes with this application.
SITE PLAN
A new drive-thru Shake Shack is proposed for the northwest corner of the site. The new building
will be roughly 3,150 square feet and will offer both drive-thru and dine-in options for customers.
The drive-thru has capacity for approximately 11 vehicles, meeting anticipated business need and
preventing queuing into internal drive lanes or Leona Road. The drive-thru will be on the north
side of the building, along Leona Road, allowing parking to be located behind the building and to
better facilitate cross-parking and access between the parcels.
A Valvoline Instant Oil Change is proposed for the northeast corner of the site. The building will
have three (3) drive-thru bays and be approximately 1,870 square feet. Queuing to the south of
the building can support up to three (3) cars per bay, which is anticipated to meet business needs.
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 2
The north end of the parking row on the Valvoline site is striped to show no parking. To comply
with City Code, a landscaped island is needed. Prior to City Council, the applicant will need to
submit a revised site plan and landscape plan showing a planted island at the end of the parking
row.
The remainder of the north portion of the lot will be part of the Planet Fitness parcel and be a
parking lot to support all site users. There are cross parking agreements for all three (3) 11609
Leona Road users (Shake Shack, Valvoline, and Planet Fitness) and between 11609 Leona Road
and 11611 Leona Road, the Qdoba/Caribou building. The following image shows the proposed
site plan.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The developer is proposing to subdivide 11609 Leona Road into three (3) lots and one (1) outlot.
The three (3) new lots meet the lot dimensional standards of the C-REG-SER zoning district. Both
new buildings will encroach into the front yard setback to accommodate required parking and
internal traffic circulation; all other setbacks are to be met. The specific waiver requests are
outlined in more detail below..
Each building in the Preliminary Plat will have its own parcel and enough parking spaces on the
parcel to meet City Code requirements. The stormwater pond along Flying Cloud Drive will be in
an outlot to be owned and maintained by Told Development. Told Development is currently
planning to own all three (3) lots and the outlot shown in this Preliminary Plat. Individual parcels
may be sold in the future.
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 3
SIGNS
The developer is requesting a sign size wavier to increase the size of the freestanding sign at the
intersection of Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road. The waiver would allow up to 116 square feet
of freestanding signage at the intersection and a 107 square foot sign base to support the signage.
A sketch of the proposed sign design is shown below. The current site plan shows this
freestanding sign at the intersection and a smaller, code compliant sign along Den Road in the
southeast corner of the property, where there is an existing sign.
City Code allows one (1) freestanding
sign per street frontage for
Commercial zoned property. With the
Preliminary Plat creating three (3) lots,
this would create the potential for a
total of five (5) signs in this
development; one for Shake Shack’s
Leona Road frontage, two (2) for
Valvoline’s frontages, and two (2) for
Planet Fitness with frontage on both
Den and Leona Roads. If all these signs
were maximized, there could be a total
of 312 square feet of signage along
Den and Leona Roads. The maximum
sign area the developer is proposing is
152 square feet; 116 square feet at the
intersection of Flying Cloud Drive and
Leona Road and 36 square feet along
Den Road. Consolidated signage is
generally encouraged in PUD area
plans to address sign proliferation.
There is an existing agreement that
allows off-site signage for the tenants
at 11611 Leona Road to have signage
at the Flying Cloud Drive/Leona Road
sign location. This was approved when 11611 Leona Road was platted and built in the early 2000s.
This is a unique circumstance given the landlocked nature of 11611 Leona Road that creates the
need for additional sign area at the intersection. With the Preliminary Plat, the allowance for off-
site signage will need to be expanded to allow Lots 2 and 3 to install signage off-site on Lot 1.
Permitting off-site signage through a waiver would allow the current conditions to continue
onsite once the new property lines are created.
The applicant is planning to reuse the existing sign base for the new freestanding sign. The small
wall will be removed, but the existing piers will be kept and clad in brick to match the buildings
onsite. The columns will be 20 feet tall and hold the sign area between the columns. City Code
allows the sign base to be a maximum of half the size of the sign. With a proposed area of 116
square feet, the maximum sign base permitted would be 58 square feet. The total area of the
Sketch showing the proposed sign at the intersection of Flying
Cloud Drive and Leona Road.
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 4
two columns is 107 square feet. The additional sign base area supports the larger sign area
requested and accounts for the brick columns that contribute to the site’s cohesive vision and
higher architectural standard.
While the applicant is reusing the existing piers for the freestanding sign, the sign was built within
the required 15-foot setback, meaning a waiver is needed to approve the current sign location
and allow the reuse of the piers. The sign is located approximately 10 feet from the property line
and has been in this location since 1997.
Wall signage is permitted on all four (4) sides of buildings in the C-REG-SER zoning district. Signage
will be permitted administratively through a separate application.
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 City must make a finding that the proposed development is not in
conflict with the Guide Plan goals, that the design is desirable and uniform within the PUD
boundary area, that waivers from City Code standards requirements are justified by the design
of the PUD area, and the PUD area is a complete and feasible design plan. To support the design
vision for the site and to create a uniform development area, the applicant is requesting the
following waivers:
A. Front Yard Setback
City Code requires structures in the Commercial-Regional-Services zoning district
to be setback a minimum of 35 feet from front lot lines. The proposed Shake Shack
building is setback 18.5 feet from the north property line. This reduced setback
supports the effort to locate parking away from the street and facilitates sharing
amongst business within the shopping center.
The proposed Valvoline building is setback 21.3 feet from the east property line.
The unique circumstance for this property is that it is a corner lot, requiring larger
setbacks on two (2) sides of the property while maintaining internal access. The
standard side yard setback is 20 feet.
B. Sign Size
The applicant is asking to increase the size of the freestanding sign at the
intersection of Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road to 116 square feet. City Code
allows Commercial zoned properties freestanding signage on every street
frontage with one (1) sign/frontage allowed 80 square feet of signage and each
subsequent frontage being allowed 36 square feet of signage. The applicant is
proposing to take two (2) of the allowed sign areas and combine them into one
(1) larger sign at the main intersection, Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road. To
support the larger sign area size, a larger sign base is also required. The proposed
sign needs a waiver to allow a 107 square foot base.
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 5
An existing agreement allows off-site signage for the tenants at 11611 Leona Road
to have signage at the Flying Cloud Drive/Leona Road sign location. This was
approved when 11611 Leona Road was platted and built in the early 2000s. This
is a unique circumstance given the landlocked nature of 11611 Leona Road that
creates the need for additional sign area at the intersection.
C. Sign Location
The Preliminary Plat creates new lots, meaning a waiver is needed to support off-
site signage of other businesses in the PUD area on sign at the Flying Cloud
Drive/Leona Road intersection. A waiver for off-site freestanding signage for Lots
2 and 3 of the Preliminary Plat is requested. As noted above, a waiver already
exists to allow off-site signage for 11611 Leona Road on the 11609 Leona Road
sign. The three (3) lots/buildings in the Preliminary Plat and 11611 Leona Road
create a unified development with shared access, parking, and maintenance.
Shared signage supports the unified PUD area and reduces visual clutter from
signs elsewhere on the site.
City Code requires signs to be setback at least 15 feet from the public right-of-way.
The applicant is reusing the current sign base for the new freestanding sign.
However, the sign was installed within the 15 foot setback requirement. To reuse
the existing sign base, a waiver is needed to approve a 10.5 foot setback from
Leona Road. The sign has existed in this location since 1997, and the base will be
refurbished when the new sign is installed.
ACCESS AND STREET CONNECTIONS
The developer will be making several changes to improve internal circulation on the site. The
northeast driveway access on Den Road will be closed to remove conflict between incoming
traffic and vehicles exiting Valvoline. The access further south on Den Road will remain; this was
built with the Planet Fitness remodel. In the proposed site plan, shown on the previous page, the
driveway access on Leona Road will shift slightly to the east. The access will still align with the
Best Buy driveway on the north side of Leona Road. Altering the access location allows the Shake
Shack parcel to have sufficient space to meet parking requirements.
The entrance off Leona Road will be extended into the site, creating a “T” intersection in the
center of the site where vehicles will choose to turn right to the new Shake Shack or the existing
strip mall (11611 Leona Road) or to the left for Planet Fitness or Valvoline. This will allow incoming
traffic more time to decide which way to turn within the site, and it provides queue space for
vehicles waiting to exit the site onto Leona Road. Updated pavement striping and internal
directional signs will provide traffic control.
TRAFFIC STUDY
A traffic study was conducted as part of this application given the increased number of
commercial uses on the site. Most traffic to the site is anticipated to come from the Flying Cloud
Drive/Leona Road/Town Center Place intersection. The study found there is enough capacity in
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 6
the surrounding road system to accommodate additional development without creating
congested conditions at nearby intersections or roads.
PARKING
City Code requires one (1) stall for every 2.5 seats in a fast-food restaurant use and five (5) stalls
for every 1,000 square feet of retail for buildings less than 30,000 square feet. Based on these
requirements, Shake Shack needs a minimum of 24 parking stalls and is meeting that
requirement. Planet Fitness requires a minimum of 93 parking stalls and is providing 105. The
Valvoline requires 10 parking stalls by City Code and is proposing 10 spaces. The overall PUD area
will have 140 stalls in total, exceeding the number of stalls required by City Code for all three (3)
uses. This total does not include the stalls at 11611 Leona Road. There is an existing cross-access,
parking, and maintenance agreement between 11609 and 11611 Leona Road.
A parking analysis was conducted as part of this application. The analysis found the west side of
the site, 11611 Leona Road and Shake Shack, will likely be overcapacity during lunch hours. In
response, the developer removed a third use from the site and increased the size of the Shake
Shack lot, allowing additional parking in the immediate area. Further, there is a shared parking
agreement in place, so customers may park north or east of Planet Fitness and walk to
destinations on the west half of the site. The analysis recommended a cross-parking agreement
for the properties to consider having all employees park on the east side of the site to increase
the number of available parking spaces on the west side of the site for customers.
SIDEWALKS
There are existing sidewalks along Leona Road and Den Road within the public right-of-way. The
developer is proposing to install an ADA compliant sidewalk connecting the sidewalk on Leona
Road to the Shake Shack and Planet Fitness buildings. The sidewalk will run parallel to the new
entrance driveway off of Leona Road.
BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS
As part of a PUD
area, the intention
with infill buildings
is to carry the visual
qualities of other
structures in the
area through to the
new structures to
create a unified
environment within
the PUD boundary
area. The image on
the right shows the
current Planet
Fitness Building.
Picture of the current Planet Fitness building at 11609 Leona Road
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 7
The Valvoline building is proposed to be brick, stone, and glass. The building meets the City’s
architectural standards, and the materials used compliment the existing building onsite.
Renderings of the proposed building are shown below.
Rendering of North and West Sides of Valvoline, which faces Leona Road and the entrance driveway.
Rendering of the south side of Valvoline, which faces Planet Fitness.
The Shake Shack proposes to use brick, stone, and glass in their design, shown in renderings on
the following page. The cream color compliments the EFIS on the Planet Fitness, and the dark
brown brick for the “back of house” is similar to the accent bands on Planet Fitness. The
wainscoting and drive-thru window area are stone. As designed, the Shake Shack building has a
distinct “front” and “back” appearance with few design elements shared between the cream and
dark brown portions of the building. Staff recommends that additional color contrast or material
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 8
continuity is incorporated into the design to tie both sections of the building together. This
change will need to be reflected prior to City Council.

SHORELAND
11609 Leona Road is located in the Shoreland Overlay Zoning District. With the recent
amendment to the Shoreland Ordinance, commercial projects in the Shoreland Overlay Zoning
District are allowed up to 70 percent impervious surface coverage or the total impervious surface
area in existence on January 6, 2026. As of January 6, 2026, the site had 75 percent impervious
surface coverage. The proposal reduces impervious surface coverage to 72.5 percent.
DRAINAGE/STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater will be collected and directed to the underground management systems on site
constructed as part of the Planet Fitness project in 2024. These systems will provide retention of
stormwater. The soils on the site are not suitable for infiltration. There is an existing stormwater
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 9
pond on the far western side of the site, along Flying Cloud Drive. This pond will remain and
continue to serve both 11609 and 11611 Leona Road.
UTILITIES
11609 Leona Road is served by City sewer and water. There is sufficient capacity in both systems
in this area to accommodate the proposed buildings and uses.
TREE LOSS AND GRADING
Given the developed nature of the site, there will be little grading involved with the project.
However, several trees will be removed to accommodate the new parking lot layout and
buildings. Sites with approved landscape plans like 11609 Leona Road replace removed trees with
a 1:1 ratio rather than by the replacement formula. A total of 24 trees will be removed, meaning
24 trees will need to be replanted on the site. The applicant is proposing to remove 16 significant
trees. Eight (8) insignificant will also be removed.
Trees have already been removed around the stormwater pond. These trees were not included
as removals on the Phase I Redevelopment Plan. Per the Development Agreement, trees
removed above and beyond the approved tree removal plan require replacement on a caliper
inch to caliper inch basis. Five (5) of these trees removed were significant. The Developer will be
required to plant 89 caliper inches onsite or pay fee in lieu to the tree preservation fund for
caliper inches that cannot be met onsite. The Development Agreement will include language to
address this requirement.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE REPLACEMENT PLAN
The Valvoline building is over 20 feet tall; City Code requires single story buildings over 20 feet
tall to double the landscaping requirement to match the landscaping onsite to the scale of the
building. Valvoline is required to provide 12 caliper inches of landscaping per City Code, and
Shake Shack is required to provide 10 caliper inches. The landscaping plan includes both
landscaping trees, vegetated parking lot islands, and shrubs that exceed the requirements of City
Code.
Consistent with other infill development projects for sites with approved landscape plans,
removed trees will be replaced on a 1:1 ratio. 34 trees will be removed, and 34 replacement trees
are provided around the new buildings and stormwater pond.
Landscape and Tree Replacement Plan on the north side of 11609
Staff Report – 11609 Leona Road Redevelopment Phase II June 22, 2026 Page 10
The current landscape and tree replacement plan show 56.5 caliper inches of tree replacement
to account for the trees removed outside of the approved plan. 32.5 inches need to be accounted
for. Prior to City Council, the developer will work with staff and confirm if these caliper inches
can be planted onsite, either through additional plantings or increasing sizes of proposed trees,
or if the remainder of the replacement requirement will be paid to the tree preservation fund.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Sustainable Building Standard does not apply to this project. As part of the PUD, the
developer will install two (2) electric vehicle charging stations on the Shake Shack property.
LIGHTING
A photometric plan was provided with the application. The plan illustrates uniform lighting
throughout the parking lot and meets code requirements at the periphery of the site.
PROJECT PHASING
This is Phase II of a redevelopment project. The partial demolition and remodel of the Office
Depot into Planet Fitness and underground stormwater management within the parking lot were
Phase I. A drive-thru Starbucks was also approved in Phase I; this project is no longer moving
forward, and Shake Shack intends to occupy the northwest corner of the site instead.
NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT
Staff received a letter from the adjacent property owner at 11611 Leona Road stating support for
the redevelopment. The letter is attached to this packet.

4. Site Plan review on 3.44 acres.
Gary Dreyer, of Told Development, 200 Southdale Center, Edina, displayed a
PowerPoint and detailed the application. The old Office Depot had been
demolished and Dreyer proposed to build a Shake Shack and a Valvoline on the
site. The Planet Fitness opened in January 2025, but the proposed Starbucks fell
through. Dreyer displayed past and current conditions (Phase I) showing the
completion of the east parking lot and the Planet Fitness.
Dreyer displayed the Site Plan showing the proposal situated between Den Road
and Flying Cloud Drive on Leona Road. He displayed the elevations and explained
he had worked with staff to integrate these in terms of materials and design. He
displayed the renderings, showing the matching brick.
Dreyer highlighted the sustainability features: stormwater management above
and below ground, improved pedestrian/bicycle connectivity, including a
sidewalk that would tie in Planet Fitness, enhanced landscaping, EV charging
stations at Shake Shack, building material reuse, and the reduction of impervious
surface.
Farr asked the purpose of the eastern driveway, and Dreyer replied it would be
service drive for trucks to Valvoline, which could also be a bypass access for
customers.
Barnhart presented the staff report. There would be no zoning change or
Comprehensive Plan amendment. The waivers requested front yard setbacks for
both sites. The Shake Shack site waiver would be a 18.5-foot setback from Leona
instead of the required 35 feet, and the Valvoline site would be a 21.3-foot
setback from Den Road instead of the required 35 feet. The waivers would bring
the buildings closer to property lines allowing for increased internal parking and
circulation.
Regarding the sign waivers, the existing sign at the northwest corner would be
reused, but the sign area would be enlarged, and the setback would be 10.5
instead of 15 feet. Two freestanding signs would be combined into one at the
corner of Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road. There was an opportunity for more
freestanding signs, but the applicant was proposing only two. The site allowed
for two signs, one at 80 square feet and one at 36 square feet, but the applicant
was combining them into one. The applicant would also use the existing
materials instead of creating one solid mass at the existing sign’s base. This sign
also had an agreement with the existing Qdoba and Caribou lot, so the
development agreement would stipulate the corner sign would also advertise
the Shake Shack and Valvoline businesses.
To improve access and circulation, an eastern driveway was shifted away from
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 22, 2026
Page 3
the intersection of Leona and Den Roads to provide access to the Shake Shack
lot, which also enlarged the lot. The Valvoline met all parking requirements, and
there were no parking waivers. The Planet Fitness exceeded parking
requirements, and there would be cross parking and access easement between
the three businesses. There would be additional sidewalks on the site. A parking
study and a traffic study had been conducted, and the development was
consistent with all City Codes and standards.
Staff had a comment on the architecture. While the buildings met material
requirements, staff noted that there should be some communication between
the buildings, though not necessarily a match. The Shake Shack did share
materials with the Planet Fitness building, but there was a band of soldier course
brick proposed for the Shake Shack building that staff suggested could be
brought out more. Barnhart showed color renderings showing the materials and
color communication and pointed out the soldier course, the color of which was
perhaps too subtle. The Valvoline proposal did a good job of bringing out the
characteristics between buildings.
Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the staff
report.
Farr asked for and received clarification Qdoba and Caribou buildings would also
share parking with the new development during what were anticipated to be
two lunchtime rushes. He asked for and received confirmation the parking
easements would remain unchanged after the applicant sold off the two outlots.
Farr added he appreciated the attempt at consistency within reason with a
1980s building, and he agreed with bringing the design up to date.
Schumacher expressed concern about traffic congestion around the Shake Shack
area. He asked for the best route for those working at Shake Shack in the winter
and if there were pedestrian walkways from Leona. Barnhart replied there were
two sidewalks: one from the east parking area through the central parking area,
and along Leona Road.
Duncan asked for and received confirmation staff was comfortable with the
signage sightline issues at Leona Road and Flying Cloud Drive. Barnhart added
wall signage was also allowed within the site. There is a sign in the southeast
corner of the site. Duncan asked for and received confirmation the driveway
closer to the corner of Leona Road and Den Road would be closed in favor of
access along Den Road.
Farr asked if the signage consolidation would come with a restriction to new
owners and future property owners of a monument sign, potentially defeating
the purpose of a consolidation waiver. Barnhart replied there was no restriction,
but City Ordinance did have certain requirements that would prevent a
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

monument sign. Staff could bring a recommendation forward to the City Council
if this was a concern.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Palmisano, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 7-0.
Farr commended the project, saying it would be a good completion of the Phase
I seen years ago, and he supported all waivers and the circulation with the
reconstructed driveway. Duncan also commended the development, including
the water treatment on site.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Grote, to recommend approval Planned Unit
Development Concept Review on 3.44 acres; Planned Unit Development District
Review with Waivers on 3.44 acres; Preliminary Plat of 3.44 acres into three lots
and one outlot; and the Site Plan review on 3.44 acres as recommended by staff
as represented in the June 22, 2026 staff report Motion carried 7-0.
B. 6345 Eden Prairie Road Zone Change (2026-06)
1. Request for approval of a Zone Change from Public to R1-22 on two
parcels, totaling 1.22 acres.
Barnhart presented the staff report. The City of Eden Prairie was the applicant. In
reviewing an application for a deck, staff discovered the property had been
zoned Public since 1969, though this was a single-family home, and the family
wished to make improvements to the property. This zoning change would bring
the property into compliance with its actual and intended use. There were
comments and questions from the public, some of whom were concerned about
a new development, which this was not, but a correction to the Zoning Map.
Neighbors were also concerned about tree removal. Forestry staff was working
with the property owner about their tree removal. There was no intention of
future subdivision of the property. The small parcel to the north was also owned
by this property owner; both properties needed to be combined for the
rezoning.
Mal Fay, resident at 15600 Eden Prairie Road, asked for and received
confirmation there would be no new development and the house would remain
as is. Barnhart explained this was no development and added any landscaping
and interior work would not need Planning Commission approval.
Fay stated his real concern was the speed limit on Eden Prairie Road. This had a
blind bend to the south, a dip to the north, with a 40-mph speed limit from
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 22, 2026
Page 5
County Road 5 to Valley View Road, then a 45-mph speed limit from there to
Townline, then at 35 mph speed limit after crossing into Minnetonka. He
suggested a consistent 35 miles per hour speed from County Road 5 into
Minnetonka, as many drivers actually drove 55 miles per hour. Duncan
suggested he speak with City Engineer Schultze after the meeting.
MOTION: Palmisano moved, seconded by Schumacher, to close the public
hearing. Motion carried 7-0.
Duncan commended the City bringing this forward so as not to place the burden
on the applicant. She stated she appreciated the public comments.
MOTION: Schumacher moved, seconded by Palmisano, to recommend approval
Request for approval of a Zone Change from Public to R1-22 on two parcels,

RE: Planning Commission Public Hearing, June 22, 2026
Dear Commissioner,
I own the property at 11611 Leona Road in Eden Prairie, which contains a small retail
center with tenants Qdoba, Cell Phone Repair, and Caribou Coffee. My property sits
adjacent to the larger parcel at 11609 Leona Road, which is currently under consideration
for a Shake Shack restaurant and Valvoline Instant Oil Change building.
Whereas in 2024 I was opposed to the previously planned Starbucks restaurant, because it
would have been very close to my Caribou Coffee, I fully support the addition of these two
proposed businesses. I believe they would enhance both centers, and the Shake Shack
would complement the restaurant options at my center.
I recommend that the planning commission act favorably on TOLD Development's
application. Should you have any questions, please contact me at

22 on 1.22 acres
SUMMARY
6345 Eden Prairie Road and Parcel #04-116-22-21-0003 immediately north of the addressed lot
are owned by the same person. It was discovered as part of a building permit review that the
properties are zoned Public rather than a single-family zoning district. This creates use and
setback issues as any new addition or accessory structure must meet the Public Zoning District
setback requirements. Single family homes are not permitted in the public zoning district.
Currently, 6345 Eden Prairie Road is not wide enough to allow any structure additions based on
the Public Zoning District setback requirements. The applicant is proposing to rezone both lots
to R1-22, a total of 1.22 acres, to better align the zoning to the use of the land.
The house was built in 1940, predating the Zoning Ordinance. Through historical research, it
appears both properties were zoned Public when the Zoning Ordinance was established in 1969
due to its proximity to Birch Island Park. The legal description that zoned Birch Island Park as
Public in 1969 includes the subject properties and is described in metes and bounds. The error
in the zoning of these properties was not discovered until recently, when the property owner
applied for a building permit and staff conducted their standard zoning compliance review.
6345 Eden Prairie Road is guided Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The Low
Density Residential guiding has been applied to the property in the Comprehensive Plan for at
least the last 25 years, since 2003 Comprehensive Plan. Parcel #04-116-22-21-0003 is guided
Parks and Open Space. This is an inadvertent guiding due to the proximity to Birch Island Park
and the small size of the parcel. This parcel will be guided Low Density Residential during the
next comprehensive plan update to remove the discrepancy.
A zoning district change to R1-22 is consistent with the comprehensive land use plan and use of
the land. All neighboring residential lots are zoned R1-22, making the proposed zoning district
change consistent with the neighborhood. The images below illustrate the current and
proposed zoning.
The image on the left shows the subject properties current zoning of Public. The image on the
right shows the proposed zoning of R1-22.
Currently, the unaddressed lot is not wide enough or large enough to meet the minimum
requirements of the R1-22 Zoning District. The property owner has applied for an Administrative
Lot Combination to combine the properties into one (1) lot. Once combined, the lot will meet or
exceed the minimum lot dimensional requirements in the R1-22 Zoning District. The
Administrative Lot Combination is a separate review process administered at a staff level.
Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning district change by a vote of 7-0. This
recommendation was with condition that 6345 Eden Prairie Road is combined with #04-116-22-
21-0003 through an Administrative Lot Combination. The project review period ends on
September 24, 2026.
Staff received a letter prior to the Planning Commission meeting from a neighboring property
owner concerned about the recent tree loss on the property and the impacts to the
surrounding ecosystem and Birch Island Park. The letter asked that further development be
denied on the property to preserve the natural area or delayed until an impact study could be
conducted. Forestry staff are working with the property owner to replace trees according to the
City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance. This property is within the Shoreland Overlay Zoning District,
meaning a maximum of 30 percent of the lot area may be impervious surface, limiting
development on the site. The R1-22 zoning district only permits single family homes and
accessory structures, which are low intensity uses.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
The City is requesting a zoning district change from Public to R1-22 on two parcels, totaling 1.22
acres. Both parcels are privately owned, and a single-family home is located on one of the
parcels, 6345 Eden Prairie Road. There are no proposed changes in the use of the properties.
REQUESTED ACTIONS
• Zoning District Change from Public to R1-22 on 1.22 acres
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ BACKGROUND
The property owner owns
both 6345 Eden Prairie
Road and Parcel #04-116-
22-21-0003 immediately to
the north of the addressed
lot. These properties are
outlined in red in the
adjacent image. It was
discovered as part of a
building permit review that
the properties are zoned
Public rather than a single-
family zoning district. This
creates setback issues as
any new addition or
accessory structure must
meet the Public Zoning
District setback
requirements. Currently,
6345 Eden Prairie Road is
not wide enough to allow
Staff Report – 6345 Eden Prairie Road Zone Change June 22, 2026 Page 2 any structure additions based on the Public Zoning District setback requirements. The current
house predates City Ordinance and is allowed to be maintained within the current footprint in
the Public Zoning District. The applicant is proposing to rezone both lots to R1-22, a total of 1.22
acres, better align the zoning to the use of the land.
The properties are surrounded by R1-22 single-family residential to the south and west and
bordered by Birch Island Park to the north and east.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
6345 Eden Prairie Road is guided Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The Low
Density Residential guiding has been applied to the property on the Comprehensive Plan for at
least the last 25 years, since 2003 Comprehensive Plan. However, both properties are zoned
Public. Through historical research, it appears both properties were zoned Public when the
Zoning Ordinance was established in 1969 due to its proximity to Birch Island Park. The legal
description that zoned Birch Island Park as Public in 1969 includes the subject properties and is
described in metes and bounds. The error in the zoning of these properties was not discovered
until recently, when the property owner applied for a building permit and staff conducted their
standard zoning compliance review.
Parcel #04-116-22-21-0003 is guided Parks and Open Space. This is an inadvertent guiding due to
the proximity to Birch Island Park and the small size of the parcel. This parcel will be guided Low
Density Residential during the next comprehensive plan update to remove the discrepancy.
The applicant is requesting to rezone 1.22 acres to R1-22, which is consistent with the
comprehensive land use plan. All neighboring residential lots are zoned R1-22, making the
proposed zoning district change consistent with the neighborhood. The images below illustrate
the current and proposed zoning.
The image on the left shows the subject properties current zoning of Public. The image on the right shows the
proposed zoning of R1-22.
Staff Report – 6345 Eden Prairie Road Zone Change June 22, 2026 Page 3
Currently, neither lot is wide enough to meet the minimum width requirements of the R1-22
Zoning District. The property owner has applied for an Administrative Lot Combination to
combine the properties into one (1) lot. Once combined, the lot will be wide enough to meet the
minimum width requirements in the R1-22 Zoning District. All other lot dimensional standards
are currently met and will exceed requirements once the lots are combined. The Administrative
Lot Combination is a separate review process administered at a staff level. The zoning district
change will be conditioned on approval of the lot combination.
RESIDENT INPUT
Notice of the zoning district change was sent to property owners within 500 feet of the subject
properties, and a “proposed development” sign was located on the lot to notify area residents
and passers-by. It is City policy to install these signs at all properties under review for a zoning
district change. In this case, there is no development proposed and the use of the land will remain
a single-family home. To date, staff has received calls with questions about the rezone and any
potential redevelopment. One resident submitted comments, attached to this report, regarding
concerns about tree removal on the property and future development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of the following request:
• Zoning District Change from Public to Parks and R1-22 Zoning District on 1.22 acres.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
This is based on the following conditions:
• Approval of an Administrative Lot Combination for 6345 Eden Prairie Road and Parcel
#04-116-22-21-0003.

4. Site Plan review on 3.44 acres.
Gary Dreyer, of Told Development, 200 Southdale Center, Edina, displayed a
PowerPoint and detailed the application. The old Office Depot had been
demolished and Dreyer proposed to build a Shake Shack and a Valvoline on the
site. The Planet Fitness opened in January 2025, but the proposed Starbucks fell
through. Dreyer displayed past and current conditions (Phase I) showing the
completion of the east parking lot and the Planet Fitness.
Dreyer displayed the Site Plan showing the proposal situated between Den Road
and Flying Cloud Drive on Leona Road. He displayed the elevations and explained
he had worked with staff to integrate these in terms of materials and design. He
displayed the renderings, showing the matching brick.
Dreyer highlighted the sustainability features: stormwater management above
and below ground, improved pedestrian/bicycle connectivity, including a
sidewalk that would tie in Planet Fitness, enhanced landscaping, EV charging
stations at Shake Shack, building material reuse, and the reduction of impervious
surface.
Farr asked the purpose of the eastern driveway, and Dreyer replied it would be
service drive for trucks to Valvoline, which could also be a bypass access for
customers.
Barnhart presented the staff report. There would be no zoning change or
Comprehensive Plan amendment. The waivers requested front yard setbacks for
both sites. The Shake Shack site waiver would be a 18.5-foot setback from Leona
instead of the required 35 feet, and the Valvoline site would be a 21.3-foot
setback from Den Road instead of the required 35 feet. The waivers would bring
the buildings closer to property lines allowing for increased internal parking and
circulation.
Regarding the sign waivers, the existing sign at the northwest corner would be
reused, but the sign area would be enlarged, and the setback would be 10.5
instead of 15 feet. Two freestanding signs would be combined into one at the
corner of Flying Cloud Drive and Leona Road. There was an opportunity for more
freestanding signs, but the applicant was proposing only two. The site allowed
for two signs, one at 80 square feet and one at 36 square feet, but the applicant
was combining them into one. The applicant would also use the existing
materials instead of creating one solid mass at the existing sign’s base. This sign
also had an agreement with the existing Qdoba and Caribou lot, so the
development agreement would stipulate the corner sign would also advertise
the Shake Shack and Valvoline businesses.
To improve access and circulation, an eastern driveway was shifted away from
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 22, 2026
Page 3
the intersection of Leona and Den Roads to provide access to the Shake Shack
lot, which also enlarged the lot. The Valvoline met all parking requirements, and
there were no parking waivers. The Planet Fitness exceeded parking
requirements, and there would be cross parking and access easement between
the three businesses. There would be additional sidewalks on the site. A parking
study and a traffic study had been conducted, and the development was
consistent with all City Codes and standards.
Staff had a comment on the architecture. While the buildings met material
requirements, staff noted that there should be some communication between
the buildings, though not necessarily a match. The Shake Shack did share
materials with the Planet Fitness building, but there was a band of soldier course
brick proposed for the Shake Shack building that staff suggested could be
brought out more. Barnhart showed color renderings showing the materials and
color communication and pointed out the soldier course, the color of which was
perhaps too subtle. The Valvoline proposal did a good job of bringing out the
characteristics between buildings.
Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the staff
report.
Farr asked for and received clarification Qdoba and Caribou buildings would also
share parking with the new development during what were anticipated to be
two lunchtime rushes. He asked for and received confirmation the parking
easements would remain unchanged after the applicant sold off the two outlots.
Farr added he appreciated the attempt at consistency within reason with a
1980s building, and he agreed with bringing the design up to date.
Schumacher expressed concern about traffic congestion around the Shake Shack
area. He asked for the best route for those working at Shake Shack in the winter
and if there were pedestrian walkways from Leona. Barnhart replied there were
two sidewalks: one from the east parking area through the central parking area,
and along Leona Road.
Duncan asked for and received confirmation staff was comfortable with the
signage sightline issues at Leona Road and Flying Cloud Drive. Barnhart added
wall signage was also allowed within the site. There is a sign in the southeast
corner of the site. Duncan asked for and received confirmation the driveway
closer to the corner of Leona Road and Den Road would be closed in favor of
access along Den Road.
Farr asked if the signage consolidation would come with a restriction to new
owners and future property owners of a monument sign, potentially defeating
the purpose of a consolidation waiver. Barnhart replied there was no restriction,
but City Ordinance did have certain requirements that would prevent a

monument sign. Staff could bring a recommendation forward to the City Council
if this was a concern.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Palmisano, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 7-0.
Farr commended the project, saying it would be a good completion of the Phase
I seen years ago, and he supported all waivers and the circulation with the
reconstructed driveway. Duncan also commended the development, including
the water treatment on site.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Grote, to recommend approval Planned Unit
Development Concept Review on 3.44 acres; Planned Unit Development District
Review with Waivers on 3.44 acres; Preliminary Plat of 3.44 acres into three lots
and one outlot; and the Site Plan review on 3.44 acres as recommended by staff
as represented in the June 22, 2026 staff report Motion carried 7-0.
B. 6345 Eden Prairie Road Zone Change (2026-06)
1. Request for approval of a Zone Change from Public to R1-22 on two
parcels, totaling 1.22 acres.
Barnhart presented the staff report. The City of Eden Prairie was the applicant. In
reviewing an application for a deck, staff discovered the property had been
zoned Public since 1969, though this was a single-family home, and the family
wished to make improvements to the property. This zoning change would bring
the property into compliance with its actual and intended use. There were
comments and questions from the public, some of whom were concerned about
a new development, which this was not, but a correction to the Zoning Map.
Neighbors were also concerned about tree removal. Forestry staff was working
with the property owner about their tree removal. There was no intention of
future subdivision of the property. The small parcel to the north was also owned
by this property owner; both properties needed to be combined for the
rezoning.
Mal Fay, resident at 15600 Eden Prairie Road, asked for and received
confirmation there would be no new development and the house would remain
as is. Barnhart explained this was no development and added any landscaping
and interior work would not need Planning Commission approval.
Fay stated his real concern was the speed limit on Eden Prairie Road. This had a
blind bend to the south, a dip to the north, with a 40-mph speed limit from
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 22, 2026
Page 5
County Road 5 to Valley View Road, then a 45-mph speed limit from there to
Townline, then at 35 mph speed limit after crossing into Minnetonka. He
suggested a consistent 35 miles per hour speed from County Road 5 into
Minnetonka, as many drivers actually drove 55 miles per hour. Duncan
suggested he speak with City Engineer Schultze after the meeting.
MOTION: Palmisano moved, seconded by Schumacher, to close the public
hearing. Motion carried 7-0.
Duncan commended the City bringing this forward so as not to place the burden
on the applicant. She stated she appreciated the public comments.
MOTION: Schumacher moved, seconded by Palmisano, to recommend approval
Request for approval of a Zone Change from Public to R1-22 on two parcels,
totaling 1.22 acres as recommended by staff as represented in the June 22, 2026
staff report. Motion carried 7-0.

B. Members’ reports
VII. Adjournment
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Schumacher, to adjourn the meeting. Motion
carried 7-0. Chair Duncan adjourned the meeting at 7:39 p.m.
The Friends of Birch Island Woods have maintained this natural area since 1998, regularly working to
remove invasive species and protect the woods. City records indicate the existing dwelling was built in
1941, meaning the surrounding woods have remained largely undisturbed for over 85 years. That is not
coincidence — it reflects a long-standing community commitment to preservation.
Eden Prairie's own Tree Preservation ordinance, Chapter 11, Section 11.55, affirms that tree removal
diminishes public health, safety, and general welfare, and directs the city toward the protection and
preservation of its natural areas. (Footnote 2) I would ask the commission to weigh any financial
considerations against the permanent loss of a natural resource that this ordinance — and this
community — has long sought to protect.
Once these wild spaces are gone, they do not come back.
Formal Requests
I respectfully submit the following requests for the commission's consideration:
One — that the commission deny approval of any further development of this property, and explore
whether this parcel might be preserved as a natural buffer in connection with Birch Island Woods.
Two — that if development is nonetheless considered, a continuance be granted long enough for a
boundary survey to be completed and markers placed at the applicant's expense, along with a formal
ecological impact study, so that this commission may make a fully informed decision consistent with
the city's own environmental ordinances.
Matt and I moved to Swan Hill for the peace, the privacy, and the nature that surrounds it. We are
asking this commission to help protect what remains.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
