CALL MEETING TO ORDER—MAYOR JEAN HARRIS Mayor Harris called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA III. TECHNOLOGY Uram said the discussion would focus on provision of technology for Council use on City business, including equipment and software necessary to connect Councilmembers to the City's e-mail system(Groupwise). IT Manager Lisa Wu and IT Coordinator Mike Hutter were present to answer questions. Legal implications related to e-mail were covered, including: • Open Meeting Law -- Care must be taken not to violate the open meeting law. City Attorney Roger Pauly explained that"serial communications"can violate the open meeting law. • Records Management --Pauly noted that thousands of additional files are generated through e-mail, and that under record retention laws these communications must be maintained in the same manner as paper documents. ■ Public Access vs. Personal Privacy—Staff suggested Councilmembers use Groupwise (City-provided) e-mail addresses only for City business and use a personal e-mail address for all other matters. Rutter indicated that the City's system can be setup up so that the City maintains permanent record of all Groupwise e-mails whether or not users delete them from their personal systems COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 2 Management Services Director Natalie Swaggert said that there will also be a"general" Council e-mail address and that staff will forward items received at this address to all of the Councilmembers. Uram said staff proposed a$100 per month stipend for each Councilmember for technology support. Approximately$60 month would cover the cost of a desktop computer,Internet service(required for remote access to Groupwise), a printer and Microsoft Office software (which is compatible with the City's software). The additional$40 per month could be used to upgrade to a laptop computer,purchase high-speed internet access, or for a cell phone. Uram noted that this is a stipend for technological support,but since some already have computers, internet access or cell phones, it is up to each Councilmember to decide how to use the money. The basic expectation would be for Councilmembers to be reachable via e- mail. Councilmember Butcher noted that the City currently provides pagers for the Councilmembers and asked how much these cost per month. Enger said the cost is approximately$7 per month. Butcher said she was uncomfortable with the increase from$7 per month to $100 for technology support. Councilmember Case asked whether there would be a benchmark level of connectivity expected if the stipend is approved. Case noted that cell phones, pagers and e-mail can all be used to reach the City Council. Enger noted that not all Councilmembers carry or use their pagers,but a decision on whether not to continue to provide them was up to the Council. Enger suggested coming up with a standard of communication rather than asking staff to contact each of the Councilmembers in a different manner depending on personal preference. This consistency would allow staff to communicate with the Council more effectively and efficiently. Case asked what kinds of e-mail messages staff can send to Councilmembers without violating open meeting laws. Pauly noted that if one Councilmember expresses a view on an issue to a quorum of Councilmembers, either simultaneously or serially, this constitutes a "meeting." Pauly emphasized that the law specifically prohibits "serial meetings of groups of less than a quorum to avoid public hearing." Councilmember Case asked if dissemination of information to all of the Councilmembers was allowable. Pauly said it is legal as long as there is no discussion of the information by a quorum of members. Mayor Harris asked Pauly to confirm that dialog between less than a quorum is permissible. Case noted that unlike phone calls, e-mails are relatively easily traced and that members would have to keep this in mind and"be incredibly careful." Mayor Harris asked what would happen in the event that a Councilmember didn't need the entire$100 stipend for technology support because they already have a computer with internet access. Enger said that,in essence,the stipend can be used for whatever the Councilmember chooses,but that the minimum expectation would be that they be available via e-mail. Case said he believed the$60 per month for a computer system would be completely defensible. Enger agreed that the$60 per month for a computer/software and internet access was reasonable,but that staff had offered the$100 per month figure as a choice for Council since individual members had suggested the need for e-mail,high speed COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 3 internet and cell phone. Case noted that the City of Minnetonka provides its Council with laptop computers with high-speed Roadrunner internet connections. Uram has contacted the City of Minnetonka and they indicate it is too early to determine how well this system is working. Uram has also spoken to City staff in Brooklyn Center who indicate the City- owned laptops provided Council have not worked out as well as they had expected. They indicated they would consider using the proposed Eden Prairie stipend model next year when the issue comes before the Council again. Uram said the City of St. Louis Park has expressed similar feelings. Case thanked staff for responding to the Council's need for greater connectivity, and said that since other cities are moving in this direction it is time Eden Prairie did so. Enger noted that the Council would have to approve a resolution during the Council Meeting in order to institute the stipend. Butcher reiterated that she was uncomfortable with the idea of a stipend, since the Council is already compensated for their work. She worried that the stipend would push the Council's salaries higher than those in comparable communities. She said that, out of dedication to her position, she already owns a computer and cell phone, which she uses for Council business. Councilmember Tyra-Lukens said not all Councilmembers have the luxury of being able to provide their own technology, and that the stipend would help in this situation. Butcher said it is still a big reach to go from$7 a month to $100 a month. She also noted that.the position of Councilmember is part-time, and wondered if increased connectivity may bring with it expectations of Councilmembers being available 24 hours a day. Enger said that per diem payments for attendance at special meetings are what make Eden Prairie Councilmember salaries comparable to similar communities. Case said the question really is what needs to be done to connect Councilmembers. He attended a conference in San Diego in December at which only 10 out of 300 attendees did not have City-provided e-mail accounts. He said that as government, Councilmembers clearly need to have a certain level of connectivity. Case said that the Council might need to set a standard of connectivity, since Councils in other communities have done so. Enger said$60 per month would cover the basic computer/e-mail package and some additional to help offset other choices in communication technology Councilmembers may choose. The additional$40 would allow for enhancements. Tyra-Lukens said she was comfortable with the additional$40 for enhancements. She said she had used both her computer and cell phone for several City- related issues that day alone. IV. COUNCIL PROCESS Mayor Harris presented an organization chart of City Council Process that appeared in November 1997 issue of Public Management. She noted that it was very similar to one the City Council had worked out together in May of the same year. Harris asked the Councilmembers to reflect on the City's published code of conduct and to indicate whether or not they wished to continue to adhere to these guidelines or if there were parts that were troublesome or missing. 3 COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 4 There was general agreement that the guidelines are still relevant and should be adhered to. Harris asked if anyone had any other related issues they wished to discuss.No issues were raised. V. STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES AT-LARGE PROGRAM Director of Management Services Natalie Swaggert presented final recommendations for student representatives on Commissions. Swaggert said that 15 applications were received by the September 22 deadline, and that staff worked hard to place as many applicants as possible on Commissions. Three students each were recommended for appointment to the Human Rights and Diversity Citizens Advisory Commission,the Heritage Preservation Commission, and the Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission. In the past only two students were appointed to each Commission. In addition, staff was proposed a new Student Representative At-Large Program for applicants not permanently assigned to a Commission. This program would allow students to attend and participate in six different Board and Commission meetings and to audit a City Council Meeting. The Council expressed support of the program. VI. OTHER Mayor Harris said the question of whether or not Councilmembers should support or endorse candidates in the Council election had been raised to her earlier. She asked for input on of what the Councilmembers felt was acceptable. It was agreed that no campaign buttons or t-shirts should be worn by Councilmembers in the Chamber. Councilmember Case said that it seemed"like a tough one to want to tie us to some system." Harris said she was not sure where to go with the discussion,but that Case had mentioned in an earlier conversation that he would like the topic broached at the Workshop. Tyra-Lukens said there is a difference between positive and negative campaigning, and that any campaigning should remain positive. She noted that it is common for legislators to support particular candidates, and that it makes common sense to support candidates who are of like minds. Butcher said the appropriateness of supporting particular candidates would depend on the manner in which it was done. She asked if the Minnesota League of Cities has a position on this issue. Mayor Harris said she didn't know. Butcher said she thought it might not be appropriate for the Councilmembers to actually"endorse"candidates. City Attorney Pauly said he didn't know of any prohibition against endorsement. Harris summarized that it seemed to be the consensus of the Council that endorsement of candidates could be acceptable as long as it was not done in a negative way. VII. COUNCIL FORUM—STEVE AND KATHY SATHER City Attorney Roger Pauly advised the Council that due to pending litigation between the City and Swanson, they should not comment on the issues presented by the Sathers. Mr. Sather provided to Council a thorough narrative of the history of his investigations and meetings leading to the purchase of his home at 90432 Purdy Road and events that have occurred since. He provided Council with a series of letters to support his comments (attached). In summary,he made the following points: COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 5 • An erosion problem has been on going since 1994 adjacent to his property and that of neighbors to the south(Swansons). • There is a fifty-foot drop adjacent to his home and his retaining wall is failing. • Considerable investment has been made by Sathers and Swansons to resolve the issue (approximately$23,000). • The problem has accelerated since 1998. • The problem emanates from the size of the drainage area directed through a culvert under Riverview Road,the removal of a berm on the Swanson property and drainage from the cul-de-sac in front of his home. • He previously made an offer of$50,000 to resolve the problem,but would have to spend $30,000 to $40,000 to do remedial work if the larger drainage problem is not properly addressed. • He made an effort to avoid litigation as the means to resolve the issue. • Staff has not been responsive in this matter. Mr. Sather asked for a response from the City in regard to what to do before winter. Mayor Harris expressed regret for Mr. Sather's experience and asked for time to review the attached materials. Roger Pauly advised that this matter could be the subject of a closed meeting for further discussion. VIII. ADJOURNMENT .

PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS A. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE HIGHVIEW DRIVE/LAKELAND TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD(RESOLUTION NO.2000-167) Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the August 31, 2000 Eden Prairie News and sent to 20 property owners. Al Gray showed information on assessments for street and storm sewer costs. The amounts to be assessed are in accordance with the feasibility study. This fall only utilities will be put in on Highview Drive. One letter was received from the Mulligan family on Highview Drive, who feel the assessments exceed the benefit to the property because they have a relatively new utility system. Gray held a neighborhood meeting about two weeks ago. There was some concern because it is later in the year than anticipated. Residents wondered about starting this later in the year. He sent a memo to the residents on the assessment role, informing them of the assessments and that the City plans to proceed to get the utility system in which meets the needs of the neighborhood. The road on Highview Drive that is disturbed by the utility work will be restored with a gravel base before winter. Next spring the final curb, gutter and street paving will be done. He met with residents earlier that evening and informed them. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 5 Fifteen properties on Highview Drive will be assessed $9,718.51 for the street improvements. Utility improvement of the project will be excluded for up to five years or up to connection, and will be back next fall with assessments for those who make the connection. In addition, each of the properties within the Lakeland Terrace area will be assessed $2,160 for their share of the improvements to Highview Drive that are used by all residents in the area. Case asked for the maximum length of time residents might be without a navigable road. Gray replied Highview Drive connects to Pioneer Trail and there is no other way in or out. When the utility work begins, they will not have a way out. The City is negotiating with residents in Chanhassen to allow traffic to go about 50 feet across a field and then use a private driveway for ingress and egress. There will be a period of about five to six weeks when it will be difficult to get around the excavations and before the trench is backfilled. Case asked if the City would work with the school district on a bus route. Gray replied he didn't know what the school district will do but they may pick children up on Pioneer Trail. Case asked if the Council is voting on just the street improvements or both street and utilities. Gray said at this time Council is voting on the assessments for the street improvements only. Later in the evening Council would be asked to award a contract for both street and utility improvements. Assessments for utilities are excluded for five years; however,utilities will be put in this fall. Dietz explained that has been the City's policy for a number of years. The five-year exclusion is done with the understanding that some people have septic systems that are still functioning. The amount levied in five years or whenever they connect will be a fixed amount established at this meeting, and there will be no interest added to that amount. Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to address the Council about the assessments. No one did. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to close the public hearing; and adopt Resolution No. 2000-167 approving Special Assessments for street improvements in the Highview Drive/Lakeland Terrace Neighborhood(I.C. 96-5406). Motion carried 5-0. B. LARIAT CENTER III by Lariat Companies, Inc. Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 4 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 4 acres, Zoning District Amendment within the C-Reg-Ser Zoning District on 4 acres, Site Plan Review on 4 acres, and Preliminary Plat on 4 acres into 2 lots. Location: 8335 Crystal View Road. (Resolution No. 2000-168 for PUD Concept Amendment, Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment, and Resolution No. 2000- 169 for Preliminary Plat). 5 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 6 Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the August 17, 2000,Eden Prairie News and sent to 38 property owners. Dennis Troyam of Lariat Companies, Inc. said this project is a 14,271 square foot two-story building with office, retail and restaurant uses. A waiver for a zero lot • line setback to the existing structure and parking is requested. Uram said the project was first reviewed by the Community Planning Board at their February 14, 2000 meeting and recommended for approval to the City Council. Council reviewed and approved the plan at its meeting on March 21, 2000. The plan indicated that a wetland on the property would be preserved. After this approval, Lariat Companies presented new information suggesting that the wetland on the site is exempt from the City regulations. A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) concluded that it was not a wetland. The Community Planning Board on August 28 voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City Council. The wetland could be filled and used for parking at Chevy's restaurant at some future date. Dietz explained that when the Council approved the original plan there were questions about whether this wetland would dry up, or if drainage would be directed to it and it would remain a wetland. A conservation easement was needed over the wetland. Upon investigation it was discovered that during the mid-70s the area was filled, including the area where the wetland exists. However, drainage went to one corner of the area adjacent to Chevy's restaurant. That caused another wetland to develop. Another TEP was formed, including Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, the DNR,Hennepin County, the Board of Water and Soil Resources and City staff, and met on site to evaluate the wetland. The TEP concluded the wetland would dry up because it was dependent on surface water drainage that will no longer drain to it; and therefore would be exempt from the Wetland Conservation Act due to the previous actions to fill the wetland. The subsequent reestablishment of wetland conditions was determined to be "solely by actions, the purpose of which was not to create or reestablish the wetland." The wetland falls under WCA Exemption No. 5. The Watershed District has signed the TEP Findings of Fact and will be granting this exemption. City staff concurs with the recommendation from the TEP. Case asked if the new plan is identical to the one approved in March, with the exception of the wetland area. Dietz said it was. Case asked if the NURP pond that was originally approved could contain the surface water after the wetland is • filled. Dietz replied it could. With this new information about how the wetland was created, the conclusion was that because the water will be routed into the NURP pond,the wetland would not survive. Tyra-Lukens referenced the Staff Report that mentions "the following waivers were granted", but as none were listed she wondered why, because she recalled there was at least one waiver requested for the zero lot line setback. Franzen replied that the waiver for a zero lot-line setback is still part of the request and is for an existing structure. 6 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 7 Butcher said she does not like to see the green space in the plan become parking space. Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to address the Council on this proposal. No one did. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Case, to adopt Resolution No. 2000-168 for PUD Concept Amendment on 4 acres; and approve lst Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review with waivers and Zoning Amendment within the C-Reg-Ser Zoning District on 4 acres; and adopt Resolution No. 2000- 169 for Preliminary Plat on 4 acres into 2 lots; and direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations; and direct Staff to issue a land alteration permit and footings and foundation permit to Lariat Companies to proceed with construction at their own risk. Motion carried 5-0. C. PRAIRIE VILLAGE AT DELL ROAD by Rottlund Homes. Request for Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential on 23.05 acres, Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 23.05 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 23.05 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 23.05 acres, Site Plan Review on 23.05 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 23.05 acres into 60 lots, 4 outlots, and City Right- of-Way. Location: South of Pioneer Trail at Dell Road. (Resolution No. 2000- 170 for Guide Plan Change, Resolution No. 2000-171 for PUD Concept Amendment, Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Change, and Resolution No. 2000-172 for Preliminary Plat) Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the August 24, 2000, Eden Prairie News and sent to 54 property owners. Fifty-four Residential Notices were sent again on September 22, 2000. The project was continued by the City Council at the September 5 meeting with the direction to revise the plan to reduce the density, increase the open space areas, and eliminate future development on Outlot D. Residents within 500 feet of the property were notified of the continued hearing. Richard Palmiter, Vice President of Rottlund Homes, said they have worked with City Staff to revise the plan. Staff directed certain changes, and the company concurs with those changes. He asked for approval from the Council. Palmiter reviewed the changes. The first change is in the density of the gable units on the west side of Dell Road, where 20 units were eliminated. Ten were located on the corner of Dell and Pioneer, and ten more were eliminated from throughout the project, creating more open space. They were able to move the buildings to the north, allowing greater distance along Hackberry Court. By reducing those units will allow approximately one-half acre of open space at the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 8 corner of Dell and Pioneer. That will allow them to preserve the existing tree area and they will supplement those with additional trees along Pioneer and Dell. Across Dell to the ponding area they will dedicate Outlot D to the City for ponding purposes. The pond has been moved farther to the north, closer to Pioneer Trail. Outlot D will be landscaped to create a buffer. This will give a more open feeling to the area. They will move the buildings farther away from Hackberry Court and will not be asking for any waivers or variances. These are the changes that were made,working with Staff at their direction. Tim Witham, the architect for the project, said the garden townhomes on the east • are designed for empty nesters and seniors. They are mostly two-unit buildings. This area was not changed as it was indicated at the last meeting that this was all right the way it is. In the gable section there are eight-unit, 10-unit, and 12-unit buildings. They took some units out of the buildings to allow for an increase in the open space on the perimeter and the interior. They are three-story buildings 'with strong exterior delineation, gables, bay windows, and decks that extend over the garage doors, concealing them and lessening their impact. Franzen said before Staff began discussions about the changes to the site plan, he and Stuart Fox went out to look at the property. They looked at the tree mass along Pioneer Trail that was going to be removed in the original proposal. The health of the existing trees is very good. These can be used as a natural buffer to reduce visual impact. It was decided to remove some townhomes from the front and a few out of the interior, leaving open space along Dell Road. They instructed Rottlund Homes to do this and to use the natural tree mass to provide a buffer. The area along the east side of the road, used for ponding, was dedicated to the City, meaning there will be no future density transfer to the adjoining property to the east. With the pond being open space, and the conservation area behind the garden townhomes, that becomes the transition to the area to the east. There are about 20 acres between this site and the homes along Cedar Forest Road and Cedar Crest Road. Those two elements of the plan mean that area could be developed as low-density residential. Regarding architecture, part of the growth strategy for the southwest area of the City was to have different densities and building types so all units would not look the same. Because of this type of architecture, being three stories, the heavy use of the gables and type of decks helps with the diversity of housing in the area. Therefore, City Staff supports this project and believes it is consistent with Council's instructions. Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to address the Council on this project. Diana Denn, 9381 Cedar Forest Road, said she is still against the large density being proposed. She agreed the developer has made some improvements, but not enough. She expressed concern with the increase in traffic this project would generate and how this will affect taxes for infrastructure in the future. Pioneer Trail will likely be widened within the next ten years. Denn wondered whether the run-off from the property would affect Riley Creek due to lack of planning. She also expressed concern about wildlife in the area because people will use pesticides on the property that would affect the groundwater. 0 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 9 Joanne Wroblewski, 9360 Cedar Forest Road, said she was uncomfortable with the density of the project. She wanted to know how many units per acre there would be. With the Guide Plan being changed, she believed the vision for Eden Prairie has been lost. It appeared the density in the apple orchard has accelerated growth of high density in the area. Regarding traffic, there is a serious problem both east and west of Highway 4. Utilities are overburdened now. In the proposed development she didn't see much green space. Regarding sprawl, she quoted from a speech by Governor Ventura, who said failure to take action will lead to endless consumption of farm land. Wrobewski asked Council to think about the impact urban sprawl is having on the land and wildlife. Communities can be shaped by choice or shaped by chance. Wroblewski hoped the Council would listen to what residents are saying to help get the kind of community that residents want. Doug Anderson, 9380 Cedar Forest Road, said he believed this is a "no win" situation for residents who would like the area to be the way it was twenty years ago. He hoped that because of the precedent Council is setting it isn't putting aside City goals. There are not enough roads through the area to accommodate this kind of housing density. Anderson said the City used to require ten-acre lots, and he wondered if that was moving in the direction of one-tenth of an acre. Andrew Matthews, 8895 Bradford Place, said he is strongly opposed to any further building anywhere in Eden Prairie, because there is beautiful nature here and the City should preserve it. Mark Michelson, 17151 Cedar Crest Drive, said in the case of construction in the apple orchard, the City got a trade-off of land from the developer. That was supposed to be the reason Orrin Thompson was allowed to build a higher-density project. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0. Case said he wanted to be consistent with the density of the apple orchard project and asked for a comparison of the gross density of this project to the apple orchard property. He wondered if the density of the project itself could be isolated from the acres around the project. Franzen replied the gross density of the Eden Orchard, including twinhomes and townhomes and adjacent acres, is 4.4 units per acre. The proposed project under discussion has a gross density, including all land, of 5.5 units per acre. The Orrin Thompson project includes a two-acre NURP pond, so if that were removed from the calculation, the net density would probably go up to 12 units per acre for the land that is immediately adjacent to the gable townhomes. There are six acres for 76 proposed gable townhomes, with the NURP pond removed, the net density would be 12.6 per acre. 9 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 10 Case asked for the decision on Outlot D. Franzen explained that Outlot D is being dedicated to the City and would not be used for future development but for treatment of storm water. Tyra-Lukens said when she asked for clarification on the density of this project and Eden Orchard at the previous meeting, this development had 50 percent greater density than Eden Orchard, whether one looked at net or gross density. Franzen said net density of the gable townhomes would be 15.9 units per acre. One reason Eden Orchard has smaller density is the additional open space along Riley Creek and conservation easement. Tyra-Lukens said she likes the look of the gable homes and it meets a need for the City of providing affordable homes. However, she doesn't like them in this location. She could see them being built closer to where there are city amenities and infrastructure, as there is at the center of the city. There are no parks, schools, libraries, jobs or shopping centers near this development. Southwest Metro Transit has no bus service on Pioneer Trail. The reason the apple orchard was allowed to have higher density was because of the trade-offs for outlots. The density in this proposed project was driven by higher density in Eden Orchard. The proponent has made improvements to the plan, but the Council needs to look at it in context with the area. Thorfinnson said the proponent has made an effort to bring back a project Council could support. Case said he agreed with most of what Tyra-Lukens said. We granted higher density in Eden Orchard as a trade-off for land along Riley Creek. He expressed concern about starting a domino effect by approving this project. The gross • density at Eden Orchard is 4.4 units per acre. This developer needs to be able to match the density that is on the borders of their property. Butcher said she had the same concerns that land is being gobbled up in Eden Prairie. When she drives down Pioneer Trail she feels there is too much housing. However,the City is preserving 65 percent of the land in the southwest part of the City as open space. There are only 800 acres remaining that can be developed, and 3,100 acres are being preserved as open space. Butcher said she liked the project. She appreciates the buffer between the Cedar Forest area to the garden- type townhomes, which eases the transition. Although the density is higher than in the surrounding area she didn't know how much more the proponent could be asked to change the density and have it be a viable project. If developers continue to build homes that are out of the price range for our young adults, that is not creating a healthy community. Butcher said she supports the project because it is in an affordable price range. Mayor Harris said she liked the product and the diversity it offers also. The history of the City shows that bus transit follows density after it is in place. The fact is people are looking for smaller homes whether they are young or old. There is very little housing available for those who are first-time home buyers, and this io CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 11 project provides that. The net density of 12.6 units per acre seemed reasonable. When Council held its Workshops in which we discussed how residuals of this City should be developed, they acknowledged they would make trade-offs in terms of density for open space. Pauly explained that because of the requirement for a four-fifths majority to make changes for rezoning in the Comprehensive Guide Plan, he recommended two motions. One that includes in reference to the Comprehensive Guide Plan change, approving the first reading for zoning district change, which requires a four-fifths vote, and a second motion adopting the resolution for preliminary plat requires a simple majority. If the first motion fails, that may be reason for those voting in favor of it to vote against the second motion. Enger said it might be appropriate to inquire if the developer would wish to withdraw the project prior to voting by the Council. Upon denial of a project, the zoning ordinance does not allow the same or similar project to be brought before the City within a one-year period of time. He would assume a project of similar scope might be brought forth by another developer of this property. Council may be setting a policy on what the maximum density on this would be in the future. It may be in the proponent's interest to withdraw rather than to obtain a denial. Palmiter said he understood they were directed to come back with this revised plan. The City wants affordability without density. If they needed to come down to four units per acre they would like to have known this a month ago. He understood they were to consult with Staff and they worked with City Staff to revise the plan according to what they thought they heard at the last meeting. Tyra-Lukens said she thought it was clear at the last meeting the developers were to come back to this meeting with a density of closer to the 10 units per acre that Eden Orchard townhomes has, by eliminating one, two, or three buildings. It seems the developers have come back with the same counter-proposal they had at the last meeting,which was a reduction of 20 units. Palmiter said he thought that is what Council wanted. He consulted with Staff and they heard the same thing. Case said he would like to continue to be consistent in the amount of density approved. The density presently in this plan is too much. Palmiter said in order to get this zoning changed he understood Council wanted this density as shown on the new plan. Outlot D is being given back to the City and won't be developed. Dell Road has been improved. It seemed to make sense for the transition from the Eden Orchard to Dell Road, going from two-story to one-story to three-story townhomes. He believed there are a lot of trade-offs. The closer one goes into the core of Eden Prairie the higher the prices. What is made up in density is lost because of the high cost of the land. 11 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 12 Thorfinnson said this disturbed him because he didn't know what final words were used at the last meeting before sending the developer off to make revisions. He understood Council said the east side of the road is fine, with the garden units providing a good transition between the neighborhood and the higher density gable homes across the road. He understood the concern about the lot on the east side and the City not being able to control what was going to happen there. That has been put into an outlot that will be preserved. His impression was that except for that lot on the east side of the road, Council's concern was the density of the gable units. He believed it would be totally appropriate for them to match come close to the Orrin Thompson property in terms of density between that property and Pioneer Trail. Some Councilmembers are trying to match the density of the Orrin Thompson property with the gable homes. He felt disturbed by the way this has come down, because the developer has made a good-faith effort based on what he thought the concerns were. He knew it was problematic because two Councilmembers were opposed to the Guide Plan change to begin with. To hold this particular project to the overall density of the apple orchard property is difficult because they are not comparing the same kind of project. He understood they were to compare the gable product to the Orrin Thompson product. Mayor Harris asked if the proponent wished Council to vote on the project or if he wished to withdraw it. Palmiter said Council could vote on it. MOTION: Thorfmnson moved, seconded by Butcher, to adopt Resolution No. 2000-170 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential on 23.05 acres; and adopt Resolution No. 2000- 171 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 23.05 acres; and approve lst Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review and Zoning District Change from Rural to the RM-6.5 Zoning District on 23.05 acres. Motion failed, with Harris, Thorfinnson and Butcher voting aye, and Tyra- Lukens and Case voting"nay". MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher, to adopt Resolution No. 2000-172 for Preliminary Plat on 23.05 acres into 59 lots, 4 outlots and City Right of Way; and direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating Staff and Board recommendations and Council conditions; and direct Staff to issue an early land alteration permit to Rottlund Homes to proceed with grading at their own risk. Pauly explained if the majority of Council was in favor of that motion it would approve platting. However, zoning will not permit building on those lots. The second motion needs to be voted on; otherwise it is automatically approved. Enger said the zoning change has failed, so that should be taken into consideration when voting on the plat, in order to use the fact that the zoning is inconsistent. Council would deny the plat because it does not go toward the merits of the project. Motion failed, with Butcher, Case, Thorfinnson, Tyra-Lukens and Harris voting"nay". I a, CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 13 MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to direct Staff to prepare Findings of Fact to support the previous motions denying the proposal. Motion carried 5-0. Mayor Harris recessed the meeting at 8:45 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:05 p.m. Pauly said he had a discussion with Staff and has developed Findings of Fact for denial of the proposed project. Prior to listing these, he suggested the following voting procedure. Those who voted in favor of the proposal may choose to abstain, and then the Findings could be approved by those who voted against approval of the proposal. The Findings were divided into three sections. The request for a Comprehensive Guide Plan change is denied for the following reasons: 1. The density of the development would be too great for the land if developed to medium-density residential 2. There has been no showing of any compelling reason to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan to medium-density development. 3. Low density development would be (a) more consistent with and (b) reasonable for development in the area 4. This project does not provide an appropriate transition to the east, which is guided low density. The request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review; the 1st reading of the ordinance and zoning district for Planned Unit Development district review and zoning district change from Rural to the RM-6.5 zoning district is denied for the following reasons: 1. The project is not consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan in that the density would exceed that permitted by the Comprehensive Guide Plan. 2. The proposed development is in conflict with the goals of the Guide Plan contrary to the requirements of City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 11A 3. The proposed development will cause harm to the environment including undue destruction of vegetation. City Code Section 11.55, Subd. C.2. 4. The proposed development is likely to cause substantial environmental damage. City Code 11.55, Subd. C.4. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens,to adopt the above findings. Motion carried 2-0, with Case and Tyra-Lukens voting aye, and Butcher, Thorfinnson, and Harris abstaining. Pauly said the request for preliminary plat approval was denied for the following reasons: 1. The proposed plat is in conflict with the current zoning and the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. City Code, Section 12.04, Subd. 5.C.1. 13 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 14 2. Site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development. City Code, Section 12.04, Subd. 5.C.4. 3. The physical characteristics of the site including topography and vegetation are such that the site is not suitable for the type of development contemplated.

MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case, to adopt the Findings of Fact. Motion carried 3-0-2, with Case, Tyra-Lukens and Harris voting aye, and Thorfinnson and Butcher abstaining. D. AUTHORIZATION OF A TAX RATE INCREASE FOR THE 2000 TAX LEVY, COLLECTIBLE IN 2001 (Resolution No.2000-173) Uram said Minnesota State Statutes require the City Council to hold a public hearing on a tax rate increase, calculated by the County Auditor for 2001 at 25.01 percent, as compared with last year's tax rate, calculated at 24.44 percent. The reason for the increase is that the City's levy increased for both the City and Southwest Metro Transit by$1.3 million. Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to speak to this increase. No one did. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher,to close the public hearing and approve Resolution No. 2000-173 authorizing a tax rate increase for the 2000 tax levy, collectible in 2001. Motion carried 5-0. Mayor Harris moved Item XIV to this point on the Agenda. XIV. APPOINTMENTS A. STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Swaggert reported that the 2000-2001 Student Representatives to Boards and Commissions program expands the number of students appointed to three on each of three Commission. Thirteen students came forward and asked to be placed on Commissions. Therefore, three Commission appointments are being made to three Commissions—Human Rights and Diversity Citizen Advisory Commission, Heritage Preservation Commission, and Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission. In addition, a Student Representative At-Large Program, providing exposure to the City Council and six advisory Boards and Commissions, will be piloted over the next seven months to determine student interest. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Case, to appoint Benjamin Mathews,Richard Greywitt, Jr. and Jonathan Erickson as Student Representatives to the Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission to a term beginning November 2000 through May 2001. Motion carried 5-0. 1II CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 15 MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Case, to appoint Jaclyn Matzen, Rachael Harlos, and Amber Swiggum as Student Representatives to the Human Rights and Diversity Citizen Advisory Commission to a term beginning November 2000 through May 2001.

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher, to approve the Payment of Claims as submitted. Motion was approved on a roll call vote, with Butcher, Case, Thorfinnson,Tyra-Lukens and Harris voting"aye." XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS A. FIRST AND SECOND READINGS OF ORDINANCE NO. 31-2000 AMENDING CITY CODE SECTION 2.05, SUBD, 3, RELATING TO COMPENSATION FOR THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Enger said it is the City Council's expectation to be able to communicate with both Staff and the public electronically (via computer/e-mail) in addition to traditional means. Staff has researched the issue and suggests that since electronic communication is an expected part of each Councilmember's job, a stipend for technology support be adopted. Staff suggests this change in the City Code to more closely align with progressive business practices. In addition, some of the Council's activity that is expected to be covered by a per diem is not. The work individual Councilmembers do with City Staff that includes scheduled meetings at the City Center, etc. He asked if Council wishes to change Section 2.05, Subd. 3 of the City Code in this way, in a more restrictive way, or a more encompassing way. To be changed prior to the election it would be necessary to pass the first and second reading at this meeting, and all five members would have to vote unanimously. 15 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 16 Case asked if this increase would cover someone who attends several meetings in one day. Thorfinnson replied there is a $50 cap. If you schedule more than one in a day you penalize yourself. Thorf nson said he would like B.5 and C. of the Code voted on separately. Case suggested the two readings be split, doing the first reading now and the second reading at another meeting. It appears Council might have to have another meeting anyway prior to election day, so Council could follow the regular process with the first and second readings. Pauly said if Council wishes to split these into two separate motions, technically Council would be considering two ordinances. One would be for amendment of City Code, Section 2.05, Subdivision 3, B. 5., and the other for Section 2.05, Section 3, Subdivision C.. He said Council should bear that in mind when making the motion. Case suggested doing the first reading tonight, and if it doesn't pass there would be no second reading. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to approve the lst Reading of an ordinance amending City Code Section 2.05, Subdivision. 3, which relates to compensation for the mayor and members of the City Council. Discussion followed. Thorfinnson said it hasn't been mentioned that they would be giving themselves a $100 raise. It also hasn't been mentioned that Councilmembers are paid $500 per month, as well as a per diem amounting to about$1,000 per year or more. Case said this matter was discussed in an open meeting during the Council Workshop prior to the Council meeting. Butcher said she felt uncomfortable with the $100 stipend. She would like to make sure that is commensurate with what other cities are paying their councilmembers. She thought$100 per month was a lot of money for technology they have been able to get along without. That is not to say they should not be paid something, especially for people who don't have access, but $100 is quite a lot to be paid. Case said he has found that cities of the size of Eden Prairie are moving into this. Minnetonka purchased laptops for councilmembers because residents demand they be accessible through e-mail. He didn't think councilmembers should be expected to be wealthy enough to afford high-speed access in order to stay connected to residents. The $100 stipend would bring the councilmembers up to technological parity with other cities. This is not out of line with what they are doing. He asked Tyra-Lukens to describe how she uses technology in doing council-related work. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 17 Tyra-Lukens described receiving a phone call on her cell phone that day. She has caller I.D.,which was recommended by the police chief. The caller wanted her to reply via e-mail. She has this capability so was able to do so. She asked Pauly if there would be any reason why a Councilmember could accept the money and then return it to the City, or could refuse to accept it. Pauly said he believed a person could waive payment of the stipend or could pay it back to the City and take a charitable tax deduction. Thorfinnson said he uses his cell phone extensively for the City and had not thought of charging the City. He believed the money he receives from the City allows him to purchase whatever he needs to have the basic tools he needs to communicate with the City. Butcher asked if they really needed a cell phone, pager and e-mail. Enger said he suggested $60 a month would provide Internet access, which would be adequate for e-mail. The enhancements, costing between $60 to $100 per month would be a cell phone,high-speed Internet access or a laptop. Council had agreed one basic thing that was needed was e-mail to help keep in contact with citizens and City Staff. Case said he would be comfortable with the base rate of $60 to have a certain base-line level of technology. • Mayor Harris said the suggestion has been made that $100 is more than some Councilmembers are comfortable with. The motion made by Case could be voted on as it stands or amended to indicate acceptance of a $60 stipend. Case said he would accept an amendment to accept $60, as did Tyra-Lukens,who seconded the motion. The motion as amended was the following: AMENDED MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to approve the lst Reading of an ordinance amending City Code Section 2.05, Subdivision 3, adding compensation for Council assignments to participate in scheduled meetings, and the Mayor and each Councilmember be paid $60 per month in recognition of costs incurred by them for technological communications and equipment. Motion carried 4-1,with Thorfinnson voting"nay." Enger noted that this ordinance, amending City Code Section 2.05, Subdivision. 3,has passed its first reading. XII. PETITIONS,REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS XIII. REPORTS OF ADVISORY BOARDS & COMMISSIONS XV. REPORTS OF OFFICERS A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 18 1. Councilmember Butcher's Query about Condition of County Road 4, Between Highway 5 and Pioneer Trail Butcher said she has received a telephone call from a person who was concerned about traveling on County Road 4,between Highway 5 and Pioneer Trail, particularly in the evening hours. She asked Dietz how long the road would be in that condition. Dietz replied the City added shoebox lighting along the entire corridor except for a temporary section of road that will be changed. Signals to be placed at Scenic Heights Road will provide lighting at that intersection. Next year the City will get rid of the meander portion of County Road 4. He is not aware of a high number of accidents along that portion of road. 2. Councilmember Butcher's Query about Providing a Signal at Settlement Drive and Pioneer Trail Butcher said she has received a number of phone calls about the difficulty of making a left turn from Pioneer Trail to Settlement Drive. She asked Dietz if any progress is being made on it. Dietz said he couldn't give Butcher an answer that evening. He knows the County has done a study on sight distances at this intersection and he will get an answer from the County for her. 3. Councilmember Tyra-Lukens' Report on Southwest Metro Transit Tyra-Lukens said the State Fair bus initiative was a huge success, with 14,500 people using the bus this year compared with 10,500 last year. The University of Minnesota introduced a "U" pass, which students can buy and use on any of the bus services. However, Metro Transit is losing money on this and will be getting additional payment for the passes. Everybody, including Metro Transit, is paying higher prices for gas. They can't raise fares without permission of the Metropolitan Council. 4. Councilmember Tyra-Lukens' Report on County Emergency Metro Service Council Tyra-Lukens said she is on the Hennepin County Emergency Metro Service Council. They are looking at standard response times for emergency vehicles and have prepared a draft document. In Eden Prairie it is hard for ambulances to get around because of curving streets, etc. The new response-time standards put Eden Prairie on the list of those slated for improvements. In Eden Prairie, sixty percent of ambulance responses are within the response guidelines, but a concerted effort is needed to increase that number. Tyra-Lukens talked to Jim Clark about the new standards and they will be presented to Public Safety groups around the City. Later the document will be presented to County Commissioners. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 19 B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER 1. Request from Micro Dynamics Enger said he just received a request from Micro Dynamics, a company that has been in operation for 20 years. They recently acquired a new facility on Prairie Drive and would like to avail themselves of industrial revenue bonds for retrofitting and improvements for the facility. This would require the City Council to act on approval of the use of industrial revenue bonds. The company needs the bonds by November 7 and is asking for a special meeting of the Council. As few as three members would be required to be in attendance. Enger inquired if Councilmembers are willing to hold a special meeting and, if so, what dates they would be available. After discussion, it was determined that a special meeting of the Council for the purpose of considering the request of Micro Dynamics for industrial revenue bonds, and the second reading of the ordinance amending the City Code relating to compensation for the mayor and members of the City Council, would be held on Monday, October 30, 2000, at 6 p.m., at the City Center. 2. Smith Douglas More House Enger said the Council had requested that Staff put out a Request for Proposals for real estate and professional services for the Smith Douglas More House. No responses were received, which may have been because of the short time period they had in which to respond, and also because professional realtors didn't believe they had the ability to make recommendations on marketing decisions. Enger suggested that since the Community Forum is October 27 and 28, with the survey following, the City Council take information from that forum and the survey into account when making their decision on what to do with marketing of house. Results of the survey should be available by the end of January 2001. 3. Meeting Place for Heritage Preservation Commission (Resolution) Enger said at the August 1, 2000 City Council meeting, Mayor Harris instructed Staff to look into what would be necessary to allow the Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC)to meet at the Cummins-Grill House. The HPC thought that this was already approved and, in fact, held a meeting there in September. In the future that would have to be done with appropriate public notice. Several options are available to the City Council if the decision is to change the meeting location of the HPC. 19 CITY COUNCIL MI UTES October 3,2000 Page 20 Resolution No. 2000-08,which designates where meetings are to be held, could be amended. Another alternative would be to include the change in meeting locations in the 2001 Resolution, and a third alternative would be to allow the HPC to meet at the Cummins-Grill House as necessary, in which case Council would amend the Resolution in advance of each meeting. Lambert was asked if the Cummins-Grill House is ADA accessible. He said the first floor is ADA accessible. He did not believe the bathroom would meet that requirement,however. Mayor Harris said this would make the HPC the only commission that doesn't meet in the City Center. She would prefer the HPC would meet at the Cummins-Grill House by exception rather than regularly. Butcher asked, if the meetings are changed to the Cummins-Grill House and if the group decided it did not want to meet there for a certain meeting,could they meet at the City Center. Enger replied they could not. The public needs to know where the meetings are held. In addition to amending the Resolution in advance of the meeting,it may be necessary to have a notification procedure,probably through the newspaper. Case said he thought of another alternative. On January 1 the schedule for meetings for the year is published. That would make it legal for the HPC to meet at either the Cummins-Grill House or the City Center on certain dates. He noted some positive aspects to meeting at the house. It gives residents exposure to the historic house and it helps the HPC set a list of capital improvement needs by seeing the house throughout the year. Jan Mosman, Chairperson of the HPC, was asked to explain the HPC position. She said the HPC members have discussed this and said they would like to meet at the Cummins-Grill House part of the time. Last year John Gertz had set up the schedule of meetings for 2000, indicating the commission would like flexibility in meeting locations. However, it was submitted too late for publication at the beginning of the year. Mosman said, regarding ADA compatibility, there is a ramp leading into the first floor of the house; no one is allowed on the second floor because there are still bat problems. The bathroom is new but may not be ADA accessible. Thorfinnson suggested leaving meetings at the City Center for the balance of this year and letting the HPC come forward with recommendations for the schedule for next year. Enger pointed out that three Student Representatives would be added to the number of persons attending the meetings of the HPC. There may be At-Large Representatives also, and he wondered if the room where they meet would accommodate that many people. Enger asked if Council wanted an evaluation of having a public meeting at the house. He was o�(a CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 21 asked to verify that there is sufficient room and that the house is ADA accessible. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher, to instruct City Staff to include ascertaining the location of the Heritage Preservation Commission, in regard to their schedule for next year, in the 2001 Resolution designating meeting dates, times and locations. Motion carried 5-0. 3. Notice of Cancellation of October 17,2000,Council Meeting Enger said he has been informed there would not be a quorum for the scheduled meeting of the Council on October 17. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to cancel the October 17,2000, City Council Meeting. Motion carried 5-0. C. REPORT OF PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES DIRECTOR D. REPORT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR E. REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS SERVICES DIRECTOR 1. Award Contract for Highview Drive/Lakeland Terrace Area Improvements (Resolution No. 2000-174) Dietz reported the low bid, in the amount of$45,868.18, was submitted by S. J. Louis Construction, Inc., and is $84,368 (15%) above the feasibility construction costs estimate. However, almost all of that amount is because of the conservative estimate of doing subgrade work to the roadway for street construction. The City will work with the contractor and consultants to consider alternative subgrade treatments, based on the soils that are encountered on the project. There may be an opportunity to reduce the amount of subgrade correction in the current contract or substitute an alternative method at a reduced price. Dietz recommended awarding the whole contract to begin utility installation. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Case, to adopt Resolution No. 2000-174 awarding Contract for I.C. 96-5406 (Highview Drive/ Lakeland Terrace Area Improvements) to S. J. Louis Construction, Inc., in the amount of$645,868.18. Motion carried 5-0. 2. Award Contract for Flagship Corporate Center Median and Turn Lane Improvements,I.C. 00-5517 (Resolution No.2000-175) Dietz said the sealed bids were received on Monday, October 2, 2000. The low bid, in the amount of $51,671.10, was submitted by Eureka a1 CrrY COUNCIL MINUTES October 3,2000 Page 22 Construction, or about $12,000 over the estimate. He recommended awarding the bid so the work can be done this fall. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to adopt Resolution No. 2000-175 awarding Contract for I.C. 00-5517 for Flagship Corporate Center Median and Turn Lane Improvements to Eureka Construction, in the amount of$51,671.10.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS Case requested to add the letter of response from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) regarding expansion of Flying Cloud Airport. Uram said that letter will be going to the Flying Cloud Advisory Commission on Wednesday, November 1, and Staff will make a full report to the City Council at the November 7 Council meeting. Case asked that Councilmembers receive copies of the letter from the Advisory Commission for review prior to the Council meeting. Case also asked if it would be appropriate to distribute the letter to the Council candidates. Mayor Harris said it will be made available to the candidates at the time of the Council meeting on November 7, but would not be available for general distribution until Council and City attorneys have time to review it. Butcher moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens;to approve the agenda as published. Motion carried 4-0. IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. MICRO DYNAMICS CORPORATION, RELATING TO THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,345,000 (Resolution No. 2000-174) CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES October 30,2000 Page 2 Official notice of this public hearing was published in the October 12,2000,Eden Prairie News. Uram said Minnesota Statutes (Sections 469.152 through 469.1651) require that the City conduct a public hearing on the proposed issuance of its Revenue Bonds for the benefit of the Micro Dynamics Corporation for the purpose of financing approximately $4,345,000 to acquire land and an existing 50,000-square-foot building at 6201 Bury Drive and to finance renovation of the building. Tyra-Lukens inquired if approval of this request would involve a financial obligation by the City. Rosow replied the City would be issuing the Bonds with the full faith and credit of the City but will not be general obligations of the City. Mayor Harris asked if anyone present wished to address the Council. No one did. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Butcher, to close the Public Hearing; and adopt Resolution No. 2000-174 authorizing the issuance and sale of: - $2,035,000 Variable Rate Demand Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2000A; and • - $945,000 Taxable Variable Rate Demand Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2000B; and - $1,365,000 Variable Rate Demand Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2000.

At the City Council meeting that followed, Council passed the first reading of an ordinance increasing compensation by$60 per month to support Council activities and communication. MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Case, to approve the 2nd reading of Ordinance No. 31-2000 amending City Code Section 2.05, Subd. 3, relating to Compensation for the Mayor and Members of the City Council. Motion carried 4-0. VI. OTHER BUSINESS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES October 30,2000 Page 3 A.

Synopsis Part of the trail improvement program has been to construct the segment of 8-foot bituminous trail along the east side of Eden Prairie Road to the Hillcrest neighborhood. Although the bids are almost $7,000 over the engineer's estimate, there were six proposals for the project and it appears a competitive price has been obtained. Background Information The following bids were received for construction of the trail project: • Timme Construction $60,428.00 • Sunram Construction $63,674.00 • Hardrives, Inc. $64,148.00 • Midwest Asphalt $74,581.70 • Bituminous Roadways $79,092.00 • Rosti Construction $79,888.00 • Engineer's Estimate $53,574.00 Although it is late to start a project, the specifications provide the contractor may start this fall, but has until July 1, 2001 to complete the work. The contractor will also be responsible for interim restoration for the winter. Our goal is to complete the project if weather permits this fall. The primary reason for the delay has been the successful conclusion of an agreement with Hennepin County, wherein the County has agreed to pay up to $29,000 of the construction costs for the project. Although Timme Construction has not performed work for the City of Eden Prairie in the past, his references indicate that he is qualified to perform the work as specified in the project. Staff recommends award of the contract to Timme Construction in the amount of$60,428.00.

(2) This section(and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information)may be amended or supplemented by the City from time to time,without notice to (except as provided in paragraph(c)(3)hereof) or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds,by a resolution of this Council filed in the office of the recording officer of the City accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel,who may rely on certificates of the City and others and the opinion may be subject to customary qualifications,to the effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement(a)is made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in the identity, nature or status of the City or the type of operations conducted by the City, or(b)is required by, or better complies with,the provisions of paragraph(b)(5)of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied with the requirements of paragraph(b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under clause(i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the amendment or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and(iii) such amendment or supplement does not materially impair the interests of the Bondowners under the Rule. If the Disclosure Information is so amended,the City agrees to provide, contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, an explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect, if any, of the change in the type of financial information or operating data being provided hereunder. (3) This section is entered into to comply with the continuing disclosure provisions of the Rule and should be construed so as to satisfy the requirements of paragraph(b)(5) of the Rule.

The site is located east of Prairie Center Drive between Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Lakes Drive. The Community Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend denial of the project to the City Council at the September 25, 2000 meeting. Background Information: This site is currently guided Regional Commercial. The property is zoned Commercial Regional Service according to the approved 1994 Hartford Place PUD. The 1994 Hartford Place PUD approved plan is distributed in the following development areas: Area One —Approved as 21,600 sf. for two restaurants and an office building. The plan was amended in 1995 for Petsmart and a retail building. The site is built as Petsmart and Mattress Giant. Area Two—Approved for 165,000 sf of commercial. This is the proposed Costco site. Area Three—Approved for 58 twinhomes. There are 58 twinhomes on this site. Area Four—Approved for 25 single-family homes. There are 25 single-family homes on this site. Area Five—Approved for 40 townhomes. There are 40 townhomes on this site. Area Six—Approved for 120 townhomes. There are 120 townhomes on this site. Area Seven—Ahis site was left zoned commercial according to the 1979 plan for 40,000 square feet of retail. The site was amended in 1999 for Rolling Hills Senior Housing, a 118-unit senior housing building and an 18,000 sf office building. This plan has not been built. 2 City Council Agenda Costco Page 3 The approved plan for the Costco site provides for four retail buildings totaling approximately 186,000 square feet, with electrical, pet shop, office supply, retail, and entertainment as the proposed land uses. The terms of the approved plan are specified in the Developer Agreement dated November 1, 1994 between Ryan Construction Company and the City of Eden Prairie. (See attached Developer Agreement and plans) The permitted uses on this site are governed by the plan and agreement agreed to by the Developer and the City as part of the approval of the 1994 PUD. The proposed development is for one retail building with an attached tire service and freestanding gas fueling facility. In order to permit the construction of the proposed Costco plan, the approved PUD plan, the Developer Agreement and zoning must be amended. Traffic: The traffic study prepared by Howard R. Green Company has the following conclusions: • The estimated daily traffic is between 6,760-8,200 daily trips. • Peak hour traffic is between 760-900 trips. • The traffic impacts to adjacent residential streets appear to be minor since there are no through local streets. • Without a traffic signal at the Prairie Lakes Drive intersection, level of service F conditions would exist in the AM and PM peak hour with long queues. With a signal, the intersection will operate at level of service B. The signal would mitigate delay and queuing problems. • Queuing at the fuel pumps will not affect street operations. • The Costco driveway is 450 feet back from the intersection at Prairie Lakes Drive and Prairie Center Drive. The maximum queue length projected is 275 feet. • The findings of the traffic study are consistent with the findings presented by the Westwood Study and the approved land use plan for this property. of {' (RTI �€..

The noise study indicates that some impulse sound from the truck dock and tire installation facility may be heard from someone outside of the townhouses to the northeast of this site. The impulse sounds that may be heard are truck backup alarms, air brakes, and impact hammers used for changing tires. These sounds do not violate the City's noise standards. Lighting: The city code states that glare, whether direct or reflected, and as differentiated from general illumination, shall not be visible beyond the limits of the immediate site from which it originates. The lighting plan has shielded downcast lights and no glare is directed or reflected offsite. The lights over the gas pumps are shielded and directed downward to reduce offsite glare. The parking lot lighting plan has 20-foot poles, 250-400 watts, with a downcast light fixture. The approved plan includes 30-foot poles in the center of the site with 20-foot poles closest to the residential areas. City decorative light standards are needed along the sidewalk adjacent to the building in order to be consistent with the approved plan. City Code Requirements: • The project meets landscaping requirements. • The project meets exterior material requirements for 75% face brick and glass. • The project meets building setback requirements. Planned Unit Development Waivers: The project requires the following waivers from the City Code. • Number of parking stalls from 5.5 to 5.2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building. • Parking stall width from 9 feet to 10 feet. • Parking stall length from 19 to 20 feet. • Parking aisle width from 25 to 24 feet. City Council Agenda Costco Page 5 • Loading for store inventory in the front yard. The waivers for number of parking spaces and parking dimensions are reasonable. There is adequate room on site without reducing green area below City Code requirements, to meet the parking requirements of the City Code. If the City observes a parking problem, Costco can be required to re-stripe the parking lot to meet the required number of spaces and parking dimensions. The waiver for loading in the front yard is required since the site has only front yards. The waiver is consistent with the waiver for the 1994 plan. The loading area is located farther away from homes than the approved plan. The loading area faces Prairie Center Drive. The loading area in the approved plan faces Rolling Hills Road. Wetlands: There are three existing wetlands on site. In 1993, Prairie Lakes Business Park received approval to fill and mitigate the three existing wetlands on this site. The wetland mitigation was constructed along Prairie Center Drive south of Rolling Hills Road and an expansion of an existing wetland southeast of the Hartford Place townhomes. Community Planning Board Review: The Community Planning Board first reviewed this project at an informational meeting on April 10, 2000. The Board identified the following issues for Costco to address before returning to the Board for a public hearing: transition to the adjoining residential neighborhoods, land use and consistency with the approved PUD, lighting,traffic, and noise. The Community Planning Board held a public hearing for this project at the August 14, 2000 meeting. The Board voted to close the public hearing and continue discussion of the project to the September 11, 2000 meeting in order for Costco to provide answers to questions raised at the meeting and for staff to conduct additional traffic analysis. A new public hearing was scheduled for the September 11, 2000 meeting, however the traffic analysis was not ready and Costco requested a continuance to the September 25, 2000 meeting. Residents were notified of the September 25, 2000 meeting. At the September 25, 2000 meeting, the Community Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend denial of the project for the following reasons: • The proposed plan with one building, a tire center, and a gas fueling facility is inconsistent with the approved PUD plan and Developer Agreement dated November 1, 1994. • The plan does not provide an adequate transition to the adjoining residential neighborhoods as required by City Code. • The plan requires the following waivers from the City Code. • Number of parking stalls from 5.5 to 5.2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building. • Parking stall width from 9 feet to 10 feet. 5 City Council Agenda Costco Page 6 • Parking stall length from 19 to 20 feet. • Parking aisle width from 25 to 24 feet. • Loading in the front yard. • The plan does not mitigate the visual impacts of the gas fueling facility on adjoining residential areas. The canopy lights create a visual impact on the homes in the area. • The gas fueling facility is less architecturally pleasing than the approved plan for a one story, 7,500 square foot retail building. The architecture of the tire center with overhead doors is less architecturally pleasing than the approved plan with a brick and glass storefront. • The proposed architectural plan does not adequately reduce the visual impacts of the building mass. • The noise study indicates that some impulse sound from the truck dock and tire installation facility may be heard from someone outside of the townhouses northeast of this site.

Green Company has the following conclusions: • The estimated daily traffic is between 6,760-8,200 daily trips. • Peak hour traffic is between 760-900 trips. • The traffic impacts to adjacent residential streets appear to be minor since there are no through local streets. • Without a traffic signal at the Prairie Lakes Drive intersection, level of service F conditions would exist in the AM and PM peak hour with long queues. With a signal,the intersection will operate at level of service B. The signal would mitigate delay and queuing problems. • Queuing at the fuel pumps will not affect street operations. • The Costco driveway is 450 feet back from the intersection at Prairie Lakes Drive and Prairie Center Drive. The maximum queue length projected is 275 feet. • • The findings of the traffic study are consistent with the findings presented by the Westwood Study and the approved land use plan for this property. may, � ', _ ;, r rrN1 i r'7 r1; ,i. ,`s .19 9 s *Id* 17,548 2,067 6,066 627 1994 PUD 11,371 1,068 8,274 794 Westwood 9,719 882 6,712 608 • H.R.Green Report 9,767-11,255 1,034-1,174 6760-8,200 760-900 Staff Report—Costco September 22,2000 NOISE Noise levels adjacent to residential cannot exceed City standards,which are as follows: Noise Duration Daytime Nighttime (7:00 am to 10:00 pm) (10:00 pm to 7:00 am) 10%of an Hour 65 Decibels 55 Decibels 50%of an Hour 60 Decibels 50 Decibels The noise study indicates that noise levels will not exceed City Code requirements: The noise study indicates that some impulse sound from the truck dock and tire installation facility may be heard from someone outside of the townhouses to the northeast of this site. The impulse sounds that may be heard are truck backup alarms,air brakes,and impact hammers used for changing tires. These sounds do not violate the City's noise standards. LIGHTING • The city code states that glare, whether direct or reflected, and as differentiated from general illumination, shall not be visible beyond the limits of the immediate site from which it originates. The lighting plan has shielded downcast lights and no glare is directed or reflected offsite.The lights over the gas pumps are shielded and directed downward to reduce offsite glare. The parking lot lighting plan has 20-foot poles,250-400 watts,with a downcast light fixture. The approved plan includes 30-foot poles in the center of the site with 20-foot poles closest to the residential areas. City decorative light standards are needed along the sidewalk adjacent to the building in order to be consistent with the approved plan. SIGNS The City Code permits signs on the building. Wall signs are limited to a maximum size of 300 square feet per sign and 300 total square feet of sign for each elevation. There arz no signs on the south and east elevations. There is 239.32 S.F. of sign area on the west elevation and 291.11 S.F. of sign area on the north elevation. A 96.58 S.F. sign proposed over the main entrance faces the • residential area to the northeast. To minimize the impact of this sign, the letter size should be reduced to a 30-inch height. The City Code allows 3 pylon signs,one at 80 square feet and two at 36 square feet.No pylon signs Staff Report—Costco September 22,2000 are proposed. Since this site is adjacent to residential,the staff would recommend that the plan be limited to one future pylon sign on Prairie Center Drive. COSTCO RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM'111.E AUGUST 14,2000 COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MEETING The attached memo from the Costco Project team provides answers to questions raised at the last public hearing. Questions 5 and 6 require an answer from the City What are the City ordinances on shopping carts? There are no ordinances on shopping carts. Target,Rainbow Foods, and Cub Foods have cart corrals in the parking lot. Each business store the carts inside the building or behind a screen wall when the store is not open. Costco proposes to store the carts inside the building when the store is not open. What are the city ordinances covering outdoor display of tires and automobiles? In all commercial zoning districts,the code will permit merchandise or equipment for sale, rental or lease to be displayed outside. The code will allow a permanent outdoor display area up to 7% of the base area of the enclosed building, if it is screened with a wall of the building. The Home Depot garden center is an example. The code also permits temporary outdoor display up to 2%of the base area of the building,for a period not to exceed 60 days, provided it is screened from public roads and adjacent land uses. The seasonal garden display at Target is an example. Tires and automobiles can be displayed outside in any commercial district according to the above requirements. CONCLUSION The Board should discuss the consistency of the project according to City Code requirements, impacts on adjoining land uses,and consistency with the approved PUD and Developer Agreement. After presentation by the proponent and listening to comments from the neighborhood,the Board should discuss the following questions: 1. Is the proposed land use consistent with the approved plan? If not, are there reasons for considering an amendment to the approved plan? 2. Does the proposed plan provide a transition to the adjoining residential neighborhoods as required by City Code?If not,-how should the plan be changed? 3. What are the visual,lighting,noise and traffic impacts? Are they mitigated? 4. The plan requires parking and loading waivers?Should they be granted? Ig Staff Report—Costco September 22,2000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Alternative One If the Community Planning Board believes that the proposed plan is consistent with Code, the approved plan, and visual,noise,lighting, and traffic impacts are mitigated,then one option would be to recommend approval of the following: • Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 17.9 acres to the overall Hartford Place PUD. • Planned Unit Development District Review on 17.9 acres with waivers within the Commercial Regional Service Zoning District. . • Zoning District Amendment in the Commercial Regional Service Zoning District on 17.9 acres. • Site Plan Review on 17.9 acres. • • Preliminary Plat of 17.9 acres into one lot.

J1 Staff Report—Costco August 11,2000 APPROVED PLAN This site is currently guided Regional Commercial. The property is zoned Commercial Regional Service according to the approved 1994 Hartford Place PUD. The approved plan provides for four retail buildings totaling approximately 165,000 square feet,with electrical,pet shop, office supply,retail, and entertainment as the proposed land uses. The terms of the approved plan are specified in the Developer Agreement dated November 1, 1994 between Ryan Construction Company and the City of Eden Prairie. (See attached Developer Agreement and plans) The permitted uses on this site are governed by the plan and agreement agreed to by the Developer and the City as part of the approval of the 1994 PUD. The proposed development is for one retail building with an attached tire service and freestanding gas fueling facility. In order to permit the construction of the proposed Costco plan,the approved PUD plan, the Developer Agreement and zoning must be amended. INFORMATIONAL MEETING APRIL 10, 2000 The Community Planning Board held an informational meeting about the proposed Costco plan. The Board summarized the development issues as follows. • Transition to the adjoining residential neighborhoods. • Land.use and consistency with the approved PUD. • Lighting. • Traffic. • Noise. TRANSITION TO EXISITNG RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS The City Code requires a transition when there are differences in land use,building mass,height, densities and site intensity. The proposed transition plan compares to the approved transition plan as follows. • The proposed plan maintains the same 210-foot setback to the nearest townhome along Rolling Hills Road. • The proposed plan increases the setback to the nearest twinhome from 210 feet to 655 feet along Prairie Lakes Drive. • The setback to parking along Rolling Hills Road is 40 feet. The approved plan is 40 feet. • The setback to parking along Prairie Lakes Drive is 40 feet. The approved plan is 40 feet. • The berm height along Prairie Lakes Drive is between 8 and 18 feet above the road. The approved plan is between 4 and 10 feet above the road. • The berm height along Rolling Hills Road is between 6 and 20 feet above the road.The approved 2�. Staff Report—Costco August 11,2000 plan is between 4 and 12 feet above the road. • The number of proposed trees on the site is 556. The approved plan has 256 trees.. • The loading area adjacent to Prairie Center Drive is 560 feet away from the nearest townhome. The approved plan showed the loading area along the entire length of Rolling Hills Road, 150 feet away from the nearest townhome. • The building is 148,625 square feet. The largest building in the approved plan is 75,000 square feet. LAND USE AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE APPROVED PUD The approved plan provides for four retail buildings totaling approximately 165,000 square feet, with electrical,pet shop, office supply,retail, and entertainment as the proposed land uses. The proposed development is for one retail building with an attached tire service and freestanding gas fueling facility. In order to permit the construction of the proposed Costco plan, the approved PUD plan,the Developer Agreement and zoning must be amended. LIGHTING The lights over the gas pumps are shielded and directed downward to reduce offsite glare. The parking lot lighting plan is a combination of 20 and 30 foot poles, 400-1000 watts,with a downcast light fixture. Since this site is adjacent to residential,the lighting standard should be a 20 foot pole,250—400 watts,with a downcast fixture. City decorative light standards are needed along the sidewalk adjacent to the buildingin order to be consistent with the approved plan. TRAFFIC Traffic generated by Costco is 20%less than the 1994 approved plan. The traffic study indicates the approved 1994 plan would generate 8,276 daily trips. Traffic for the Costco site is 6,712 daily trips. Peak hour traffic for the 1994 approved plan is 794 trips. Peak hour traffic for the Costco site is 608 trips. The traffic study indicates that a signal is needed at the Prairie Lakes Drive and Prairie Center Drive intersection. This signal must be operational by the time the store is opened.The Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Center Drive intersection does not require a signal.

Pt]D 9,719 882 6,712 608 NOISE Noise levels adjacent to residential cannot exceed City standards,which are as follows: Noise Duration Daytime Nighttime (7:00 am to 10:00 pm) (10:00 pm to 7:00 am) . 10% of an Hour 65 Decibels 55 Decibels . 50% of an Hour 60 Decibels 50 Decibels The noise study indicates that noise levels will not exceed City Code requirements. The noise study indicates that some impulse sound from the truck dock and tire installation facility may be heard from someone outside of the townhouses to the northeast of this site. The impulse sounds that maybe heard are truck backup alarms, air brakes, and impact hammers used for changing tires. SITE PLAN The site plan shows a 148,663 square foot building. The base area ratio is .19. The City Code permits up to a.20 base area ratio. The floor area ratio is .19. The City code allows up to a.40 floor area ratio. The required building setback is 35 feet. The plan exceeds this requirement. The amount of parking required is based on a ratio of 5.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, or 816 spaces. The plan shows 778 spaces. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS The project requires the following waivers from the City Code. X ay Staff Report—Costco August 11,2000 • Number of parking stalls from 5.5 to 5.2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building. • Parking stall width from 9 feet to 10 feet. • Parking stall length from 19 to 20 feet. • Parking aisle width from 25 to 24 feet. • Loading for store inventory in the front yard. The waivers for number of parking spaces and parking dimensions are reasonable. There is • adequate room on site without reducing green area below City Code requirements,to meet the parking requirements of the City Code. If the City observes a parking problem, Costco can be required to re-stripe the parking lot to meet the required number of spaces and parking dimensions.. The waiver for loading in the front yard is required since the site has only front yards. The waiver is consistent with the waiver for the 1994 plan. The loading area is located farther away from homes than the approved plan. The loading area faces Prairie Center Drive. The loading area in the approved plan faces Rolling Hills Road. GASOLINE FUELING FACILITY The Costco site plan shows a 6-pump fueling facility. Mark's Amoco has 6 pumps. Mobil has 7 pumps. Phillips has 4 pumps. • Approval of the gas facility is a PUD and Zoning Amendment. Reasons to consider the amendment are: • The gas pumps are located approximately 800 feet away from the nearest twinhome and townhome. • The lights under the canopy are shielded to reduce offsite glare. • The traffic generated by the gas facility can be accommodated by a traffic signal at Prairie Lakes Drive. Reasons not to consider the amendment are: • The gas fueling facility is less architecturally pleasing than the approved plan for a one story, 7,500 square foot retail building in that location. • The plan does not provide an adequate transition between the gas facility and residential. • The canopy lights create a visual impact on the homes in the area. TIRE CENTER Approval of the tire center requires a PUD and Zoning Amendment. Reasons to consider the 25 Staff Report—Costco August 11,2000 amendment are: • The overhead doors are not visible from the adjoining residential area. • The tire center is located approximately 750 feet away from the nearest twinhome and 800 feet away from the nearest townhome. • All of the tires are stored inside the building. Reasons not to consider the amendment are: • The architecture of the tire center with overhead doors is less architecturally pleasing than the approved plan with a brick and glass storefront. • The plan does not provide an adequate transition between the tire center and residential. • Area residents may hear the sound of tire installation. WETLANDS • There are three existing wetlands on site. In 1993,Prairie Lakes Business Park received approval to fill and mitigate the three existing wetlands on this site. The wetland mitigation was constructed along Prairie Center Drive south of Rolling Hills Road and an expansion of an existing wetland southeast of the Hartford Place townhomes. ARCHITECTURE The approved plan distributed building mass into four buildings varying between 7,500 and 75,000 square feet in size. The proposed plans consolidate building mass into one building of 148,663 square feet. The architectural plan proposes the following elements to mitigate building mass: • Pitched roofs, arches, canopies,parapets and exterior walls that step back and forward. • Building facades with design elements that enhance pedestrian movement. • Building entrances are designed to provide a human scale for pedestrian interest. • Landscaping at the foot of the buildings softens the transition between paved areas on the ground plane and building materials on the vertical plane. LANDSCAPE PLAN The landscaping requirements are based on the caliper inch requirement, tree replacement, and transition. The landscape plan shows 1,797 inches. The caliper inch requirement is 913 inches. The plan meets this requirement. p1 Staff Report—Costco August 11,2000 The City Code defines a significant tree as a shade tree greater than 12 inches in diameter or a conifer tree greater than 8 inches in diameter. A significant tree is also defined by type. Elms, boxelder, and ornamental trees are not significant trees. Of the 7 trees on site, only two are considered significant,both are 26-inch ash trees. The City Code requires a 100%replacement of the diameter inches. The tree replacement requirement for this site from the approved PUD is 119 inches. The plan meets this requirement. The remaining 765 inches are required for transition plantings across from the residential areas to the east,south and southeast sides of the project. The approved plan included 296 trees and 833 inches. The proposed plan includes 536 trees and 1,797 inches. DRAINAGE Water drains to existing treatment ponds on the office sites in the PUD. SIGNS The City Code permits signs on the building. Wall signs are limited to a maximum size of 300 square feet per sign and 300 total square feet of sign for each elevation. There are no signs on the south and east elevations. There is 239.32 S.F. of sign area on the west elevation and 291.11 S.F. of sign area on the north elevation. A 96.58 S.F. sign proposed over the main entrance faces the residential area to the northeast. To minimize the impact of this sign, the letter size should be reduced to a 30-inch height. The City Code allows 3 pylon signs,one at 80 square feet and.two at 36 square feet.No pylon signs are proposed. Since this site is adjacent to residential,the staff would recommend that the plan be limited to one future pylon sign on Prairie Center Drive. CONCLUSION The Board should discuss the consistency of the project according to City Code requirements, impacts on adjoining land uses,and consistency with the approved PUD and Developer Agreement. After presentation by the proponent and listening to comments from the neighborhood,the Board should discuss the following questions: 1. Is the proposed land use consistent with the approved plan? If not, are there reasons for considering an amendment to the approved plan? f Staff Report—Costco August 11,2000 2. Does the proposed plan provide a transition to the adjoining residential neighborhoods as required by City Code?If not,how should the plan be changed? 3.

Costco to present the concept plan for the development of a 148,462 square foot building, with a tire center and gasoline pumps. 2. Costco, the Community Planning Board, and staff to hear comments from area residents on the proposal. 3. Identifying development issues for Costco and staff to address in detailed plans prior to returning to the Community Planning Board for a public hearing on the development proposal. - On March 23, 2000,Costco held a neighborhood meeting at the City Center. DEVELOPMENT REQUEST Costco is proposing a 148,462 square foot building,with a tire center and gasoline pumps. When the project proceeds to a public hearing the following actions will be requested:, • Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 17.9 acres • Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 17.9 acres • Site Plan Review on 17.9 acres • Preliminary Plat of 17.9 acres into one lot and road right of way. The proposed Costco site is guided Regional Commercial and zoned Commercial Regional Service. PRAIRIE LAKES PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT In 1979, the City Council approved a PUD Concept Plan and rezoning from .rural to office and commercial for the Prairie Lakes Office Park. The approved plan was 1.2 million square feet of office and 200,000 square feet of regional commercial service. Waivers were granted through the PUD to allow office-building heights up to 7 stories. In 1979, the proposed Costco site was zoned commercial regional service and office. The approved plan included a 7 story, 160,000 square foot office building, a 36,000 square foot retail building and a 40,000 square foot retail building. HARTFORD PLACE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT In 1994, the City Council amended a portion the Prairie Lakes Office Park PUD.The amended plan, called Hartford Place included the following uses: • " 160 townhouses • 58 twinhomes /32 Costco Informational Meeting April 7,2000 Page 3 • 25 single family homes • 237,000 square feet of commercial. (197,000 square feet was Hartford Place and 40,000 square feet was part of Prairie Lakes Office Park) The 1994 approved plan for the proposed Costco site was 165,300 square feet of retail. The City changed the guide plan for Hartford Place converting 56 acres of office to low and medium density residential and retained 30 acres of commercial along Prairie Center Drive for the following reasons. • Less traffic • Affordable housing • One level townhouses • Better transition to existing single family neighborhoods to the south REGAL CINEMA In 1998 Regal Cinema presented plans for a 20-screen theater and two restaurants on this site. The City Council did not support the project since the plan did not meet parking requirements. Regal Cinema withdrew the application. ROLLING HILLS SENIOR HOUSING AND OFFICE In 1999, the City Council approved a project for 142 senior units and an 18,000 square foot office building east of Prairie Center Drive and south of Rolling Hills Road. The guide plan was changed from commercial to residential and office due to less traffic, better transition next to residential, and. senior housing. PLANNING ISSUES • Is the proposal consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan? The site is guided Regional Commercial. Costco is a regional commercial land use. • Is commercial regional service zoning compatible next to existing residential neighborhoods? Costco can be a compatible use next to residential, provided there is an adequate transition. Transition is required when there are differences in land use,building mass;height, densities,and site intensity. Increased setbacks,berming,plantings, lower floor area ratios, lower densities, and smaller buildings may accomplish transitions. The maximum base area ratio permitted is .20. The proposed plan is .19. The base area ratio is the size of the building divided by the size of the property. The required parking, based on 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building, is 816 spaces. The plan shows 835 spaces. • Costco Informational Meeting April 7,2000 Page 4 City Code requires a 35-foot minimum building setback on all three street frontages. The plan shows a 460-foot setback to Prairie Center Drive, a 140-foot setback to Prairie Lakes Drive, and a 50-foot setback to Rolling Hills Road. City Code requires a 35-foot setback to parking on one street frontage and 17.5 setback on the other street frontages. The plan shows a 17.5-foot setback to Prairie Center Drive, a 35-foot setback to Rolling Hills Road,and a 17.5-foot setback to Prairie Lakes Drive. Screening of the loading dock, maneuvering area, and berth from public roads and adjacent differing land uses are required. To meet the City code for transition, screening of parking, and screening of the loading area, the plan should be revised as follows: • The minimum setback to parking should be 35 feet for all street frontages. • Move the Costco building further north to provide more green area for berming and plantings. This will visually reduce the size of the building as viewed from adjoining residential areas. • Completely enclose the loading dock,berth and maneuvering area in a manner similar to Cub Foods. • Include a minimum of 10%planting islands in the parking lot with a minimum island width of 10 feet. • Is the proposed use consistent with the approved PUD? The permitted uses on this site can be any use allowed by City Code in the commercial regional service zoning district. The exception is when such use or uses are limited by a development plan or an agreement imposed by the City as a condition of approval of the PUD. The approved PUD plan-and the Development Agreement for Hartford Place showed four retail buildings. The plan included electrical, pet shop, office supply, and entertainment as the proposed land uses. In order to permit the construction of the proposed Costco store, the approved PUD plan and the Developer Agreement must be amended. • Is the proposed architecture consistent with the approved plan? The approved architecture for the proposed Costco site is similar to Petsmart. Costco should use similar colors and details. However it may be better to change the architecture to convey a residential character given the proximity to the adjoining residential areas. • Is the plaza area in front of the building consistent with the approved plans? The approved plan included a 30-foot minimum sidewalk and planting areas in front of the • buildings with decorative streetlights. To be consistent with the approved plan, the Costco plan should be changed as follows. • Move the tire center to the west side of the building. Costco Informational Meeting April 7,2000 Page 5 • • Use canopies, vertical and horizontal building jogs, or other architectural features to help create a pedestrian scale. • Are there significant trees on site? The City Code defines a significant tree as a shade tree greater than 12 inches in diameter or a conifer tree greater than 8 inches in diameter. A significant tree is also defined by type.. Elms,boxelder, and ornamental trees are not significant trees. Of the 7 trees on site only two are considered significant, both are 26-inch ash trees. The City Code would tree a 100% replacement of the diameter inches. • Is the Costco plan consistent with road capacity and anticipated road improvements? A condition of approval of the 1994 Hartford Place PUD was to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Prairie Lakes Drive and Prairie Center Drive when this commercial site develops. Since the proposed traffic for Costco is less than the approved plan no additional road or signal improvements are anticipated. 1{ t 7, i, t f717: i .- � i EI .7 JD i— 7 '!;'r�" .",O r { ,i 4 , f" f4— ri a! lI it :;I , r E 'it e ' 'E; iii�',s 1� . r, I..' r. .;f H yTf Idil... 1 . s ,, 1979 PUD ,`,v, _` 17,548 2,067 6,066 627 1994 P B ` 11,371 1,068 8,274 794 2000. ; PUD 9,719 882 6,712 608 • Are there cultural resources on the site? There are no known or recorded historic buildings, structures,landscapes, or archaeology sites on the property. • Is there a need for a City park in the area? Does the plan provide an area for a future park? This site is in the service area of Nesbitt Preserve Park. Existing sidewalks provide access to the park. • What should lighting levels be on this site? The lighting standard for commercial sites is a 30-foot pole with a downcast light fixture. When commercial is adjacent to residential, the lighting standard is a 20 foot pole with a down cast fixture. / 35 Costco Informational Meeting April 7,2000 Page 6 • Are the proposed driveways to the site in appropriate locations? The proposed driveways are aligned opposite existing driveways,which is a City standard. The access to the loading area should be located closer to Prairie Center Drive in order to minimize conflicts with access to the twin homes east of Prairie Lakes Drive. The proposed plan eliminates the approved easterly access on Rolling Lakes Drive. The west access should be relocated closer to the Prairie Center Drive, consistent with the approved plan, and opposite an approved access to the south. • Is an Environmental Assessment Worksheet required for the Costco site? An Environmental Assessment Worksheet,(EAW) is not required. The threshold for EAW is a 300,000 square foot building. An EAW was reviewed in 1979 and a finding of no significant impact determined based on a plan for 1.2 million square feet of office and 200,000 square feet of commercial. An amended EAW was not required in 1994 since project intensity was less. c \`i IJR-0---1,,,-_, Jyz`/7� � °i� ♦ �y ' 1` ' .! ��, i'�\ + �1t /' m.�'ia •Its c '0 • �^ �-:Q 1111:1,1) V 1• • 44.4 . -i.., ,/, \, ,L_.

Calculations: 1. Warehouse Trips per year(incoming)=sales per warehouse/average transaction 4 101,000,000/80=1,262,500 Trips per day(incoming)=trips per year/days opened per year 4 1,262,500/358=3527 Total trips per day(incoming+outgoing)=trips per day*2 4 3527*2=7054 2. Fueling Facility Trips per year(incoming)=sales per gasoline facility/average transaction 4 8,000,000/30=266,667 Trip per day(incoming)=trips per year/days opened per year 4 266,667/358=745 Total trips per day(incoming+outgoining)=trips per day*2 4 745*2=1490 Total trips with reduction factor=total trips per day*(1-reduction factor) 4 1490*(1-.72)=417 3. Average Daily Total(ADT)bases upon sales for the first year: Total trips per day(warehouse)+total trips per day(fueling facility) 4 7054+417=7471 Ancillary Businesses The clubs offer their members an array of specialty, or ancillary, businesses that give them the convenience of one-stop shopping. Members can complete many different types of errands inside the clubs. This chapter will look at the types of ancillary businesses that each club offers. BJ's Wholesale BJ's offers its members an array of additional businesses located inside its clubs including one-hour photo shops, food courts, propane tank filling, home alarm systems, cellular phone service, travel kiosks, banks and gas stations. In 1999, BJ's has added banks inside some of its locations. Yonkers Financial Corporation operates savings and loan branches in Westchester County, New York. Yonkers opened its first location inside a BJ's warehouse in Wappinger Falls, New York. The branch has met its budgeted plans and is on pace to break even during the first half of the year. Yonkers plans to open two more branch locations inside BJ's clubs in Yorktown Heights and Mount Vernon, New York. Provident Bank of Maryland operates 69 branch offices in the Maryland area. The company is the second largest independent commercial bank in Maryland. Provident opened its first branch inside BJ's at its Columbia, Maryland club during the first quarter of 1999. BJ's has experienced success with its gas station program. BJ's opened its first gas station in 1998 in Pennsylvania. By the end of January, 1999, the company had six stations in operation and plans to add 15-25 stations to existing clubs by the end of its 2000 fiscal year in January, 2000. Where possible, all new locations will have gas stations. Each station is in BJ's parking lot and is open to the public, but the best prices are only available to BJ's members. BJ's prices are 10 to 12 cents below the market price. Overall sales and increased membership have resulted at the clubs where gas stations exist. Costco Wholesale As can be seen in the chart below, Costco has eight ancillary businesses. The number of Costco locations that have these businesses has grown quickly over the past four years. The percentage figure next to each business represents the number of clubs that have the particular ancillary service at the end of a fiscal year.

Costco ended its 1998 fiscal year with 40 gas stations and plans to operate over 70 by the end of the 1999 calendar year. Gas stations average$7 to$8 million per location per year, but even more impressive is that gas station comparable sales during the third quarter of the company's 1999 fiscal year were over 100%. The picture on the next page was taken by WCF at a Costco gas station in Silverdale,Washington in June, 1999. It is typical of the lines of cars that can be found at a Costco gas station. Costco and other retailers who sell gas are able to undercut local gasoline stations because the retailers purchase gas directly from the refineries, while local gas stations must purchase the gasoline at higher prices from major oil companies. Those oil companies purchase their gasoline from the refineries. Costco's prices tend to be 10 to 20 cents below the market price. The success of the gas stations also shows up when considering renewal rates and new members. Costco has had many experiences where members sign up for a membership p1P6rAncillary Businesses _WAREHOUSE CLUB INDUSTRY GUIDE Am-1 Unauthorized Copying is Prohibited Published by Warehouse Club Focus • ii. l't 1,. .

However, it currently has three businesses that are unique to the club industry and is developing a fourth, home services,that is also new to the industry. Insurance Pro ram _ _ . ',._ `£ '. .„ Insurance Holdings of America, Inc. (IHA), based in Beverly, Massachusetts, markets insurance to SAM'S Club members via kiosks located in the clubs. The program is marketed under the GROUPadvantage trade name. Independent agents buy franchises for each SAM'S Club location. By the end of January, 1999 there were GROUPadvantage kiosks operating in 56 SAM'S Clubs in four states and the plans are to expand the operation to every SAM'S Club location in the United States. The program offers SAM'S Club members the ability to purchase automobile, homeowner, boat, life, disability and long term care insurance. The whole Internet based process can deliver a comparatively rated quote on a policy within 15 minutes and can then issue a bound policy for ultimate issuance in another ten minutes. SAM'S members typically stop at the kiosk upon entering the club, drop off an existing policy, do their normal shopping and stop at the kiosk before departing with a competitive quote or policy. The final policy is issued from GROUPadvantage's Insurance Center in Oriskany, New York. Insurance carriers pay IHA subsidiary, Consumer Insurance Services of America, Inc. (CISA), a fee to place their products on the GROUPadvantage product shelf and also pay a higher percentage of premium as commission since CISA pays the agents and issues the policies. The most impressive statistic is that if the GROUPadvantage program operated in all SAM'S Clubs in the United States and it wrote automobile, home, health, life, umbrella and business policies for 5% of all SAM'S Club members, it would be the fifth largest insurance operator in the country.

On March 18, 1998,SJI began to distribute its cigars to SAM'S in its walk-in humidors. SJI initially installed the humidors in sixty SAM'S locations and has slowly expanded the program since. A humidor keeps cigars fresh inside a controlled environment. The walk-in models used by SJI are eight feet by eleven feet and are free standing. SJI Group does not charge SAM'S for the humidors that are shipped to SAM'S with 650 boxes Ancillary Businesses WAREHOUSE CLUB INDUSTRY GUIDE Am-2 Unauthorized Copying is Prohibited Published by Warehouse Club Focus of cigars.

Both locations are in the Dallas/Forth Worth market. The embroidery center within each club is located in the apparel area and is staffed by SAM'S employees. Companies can put their names or logos on shirts, baseball hats and attaché cases. Members can only use SAM'S Club merchandise for the embroidery. Orders can take up to one to two weeks.The embroidery service was included in SAM'S"Millennium Club"format in Chandler,Arizona and has proven so successful that the company is expanding the program. 1 ._r (�ai ud. t'Tz€re�iytes.s `' -y v& hr,is Y. a fr. ,k, t AX7, vS:2�E44 "5 w.S .a.o S '°,�,,q 45A. i „,.,i'°51 r1...RT.f„r �3I1S?.".

The program will be called Home Service Solutions and will be managed by CVPS. Trade workers will be independent contractors, but Home Service Solutions will provide billing and bookkeeping. The service will be introduced to four metropolitan markets and will be part of an enhanced membership. According to a CVPS vice president,the membership will cost SAM'S Club members$48 per year.

As you know we have conducted many workshops to attempt to obtain valuable input and advice to help shape the direction of the project. We have made many changes in order to reduce or eliminate impacts to the surrounding residential properties. We will continue to be good listeners and cooperate any way we can. However,having been treated as we were last Monday,it is clear to me that your motive is to kill the project versus improving on it through collaborative and constructive dialogue. There are many projects we have worked on that are directly adjacent to residential areas, and by working together,we have identified impacts, developed mitigation, and even put in place measures to provide better protection than what previously existed. The jeering,heckling,blatant mis-information and non-truths, despite our efforts for outreach, convinced me that your motive is not to create a better project. In this regard, I find your request somewhat disingenuous as I'm certain that whatever information I provide will be used against us. The fact of the matter is that this site is planned and zoned for regional commercial. That is what we are. There is not another retailer out there that is more capable of finding solutions than Costco. We have the knowledge, ability and financial resources to provide creative solutions to difficult problems.But this can only be accomplished though dialogue and collaboration. We continue to be willing to sit down and discuss with you and other neighborhood representatives ways to find common ground.As a matter of fact,I plan to be in the area the week after next, and if you'd like, I am available to meet and discuss options and solutions with you, Terri, or anyone else from the neighborhood. Only through dialogue and mutual respect can we hope to find common ground and the win-win solutions.

Location: East of Prairie Center Drive between Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Lakes Drive. Board member Nelson left prior to opening of the hearing due to conflict of interest. The public hearing opened at 8:00 p.m. Howard Preston, director of traffic engineering group for Howard R. Green, presented a traffic impact study. Their study included existing conditions, trip generation, directional orientation, operations analysis, and comparisons to Westwood Results. They created a worst case scenario and worked with those assumptions during the study. Existing conditions along Prairie Center/Prairie Lakes Drive were quantified. Traffic models suggested a level of service D in the a.m. peak hours for a left turn from Prairie Lakes Drive and F during the p.m.peak hours with queues up to 6 vehicles. This was based on ITE trip generation; using highest factors,with data from Costco. With multiple uses of same site, there are shared trips or multi- purpose trips. They used a factor of zero for these. In the comprehensive plan, there was traffic-generating land use with an assumed use approximately the same traffic generation. Westwood was very close to Howard R. Green in comparison with the trip generation. Directional Orientation is subjective they estimated 50% of trips are oriented to the west, 47.5 %to the north and 2.5%to Prairie Lakes Drive. The post- development operations analysis found level of service F during AM and PM hours with existing traffic controls. With entering a traffic signal, it would be level of service B with a queuing as much as 70 vehicles. Queuing (gas pumps) is the difference between service rates and demand. Turnover would be approximately 4-5 minutes during congested periods. Preston concluded that the traffic expected to be generated was consistent with the approved plan, and would have minimal impact to adjacent streets. The installation of traffic signal at Prairie Center/Prairie Lakes Drive would mitigate some traffic concerns. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 8 Jack Frank with Costco Wholesale thanked the board for giving a continuance so they could answer concerns. He said they have listened to concerns and changed the plan. Ted Johnson,Executive VP of Thomson Dyke and Associates, landscape firm for the project, said he is a certified planner and registered landscape architect. He showed the city's zoning map with the proposed Costco site. Eden Prairie mall was in the same area and was the most intense zoning use and single family homes were in the same area. Office and multi-family were transitional districts. Costco is zoned C regional service, and the City code states uses are limited to sales and service operations with large sites and generate little pedestrian traffic. All Costco uses are permitted uses in that district and similar to other retail uses surrounding Eden Prairie Center. It is a retail operation consistent with commercial districts. 90%of Costco sales are direct retail sales to the consumer. These are consistent with the guide plan. The zoning map shows a mixed-use environment with office, multifamily, commercial, and single family. There are arterial and collector roadways. The Prairie Center corridor area contains the main accesses,the majority of the building,the tire and fueling facility. They are adjacent to intense uses. The"medium intensity zone"in Costco stretches from office to residential zoning. Rolling Hills access is adjacent to an area zoned office. The southeast part of the site contains a very small part of the building,parking, and dense buffer yards. There is a gradual change in intensity along the 18-acre development. They reduced foot-candles to .2 from city code allowing .5. Trucks will come from 494 to Prairie Center/Prairie Lakes and back into the loading dock. They will exit onto Prairie Lakes, Prairie Center and back to 494. He showed a photo of a buffer between single family and office zoning in the same area and also a buffer between existing townhomes and office buildings. He said they propose berming and landscaping where the adjoining neighborhood would not see the building. Comparisons to the existing Hartford Place plan show Costco to have a smaller floor area ratio, greater setbacks and landscaping, 556 trees compared to 296. The increase was along Prairie Lakes and along Rolling Hills. There are three findings relating to PUD in the ordinance;the development is not opposing the guide plan; the development must be designed to form a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries; the layout,plan, architectural features,must create a unified development,; any exceptions to standard requirements must be justified by the design. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 9 Clinton asked about the capacity of the underground storage tanks. Chris Verco, engineer, said the size of the tanks do not require a specific plan. The EPA requires spill prevention and a countermeasure plan. These are at the site at all times. Allan Klugman,principal traffic engineer,Westwood in Eden Prairie.He did not present his study at the August 14th meeting. He said they concur with Preston's overall findings,the staffs findings that signalization will mitigate, and trip generation data from seven different Costco sites—the results of the HR Green worst case equal to busiest store. Steve Lake, Senior Engineer,Keogh acoustical firm, said they considered the amount of noise present at the site; they looked at night time and day time noise; taking measurements at four test points. The amount of noise generated by Costco would not exceed environmental guidelines for noise problems. He considered the tire changing facility and backing trucks as impulse noise. Recessing the doors four feet creates a sound barrier. He said there is a slight possibility for hearing backing trucks late at night. Stoelting asked why environmental noise was high in the area. Lake said 494 and Prairie Center Drive. Stoelting asked about test point one related to some of the noise levels. Andy Merchant,Mulvaney Architects, addressing design, showed photos of similar projects to Eden Prairie. Concerns are similar in the tire center and fueling facility. Four foot recesses help acoustically. Glazed doors tie in with the main entrance.He compared the fuel facility to a recent facility built in Seattle where issues were similar and showed several computer generated proposed views. Koenig asked what was near the facility in Seattle. Merchant said commercial office and historical registry. A proposed view showing an 8-14 foot berm, landscaping/screening obscure the fuel facility. It is most visible at the exit driveway. Foote asked about screening and growth. Merchant said landscaping is planted to allow it to grow. The landscape architect could comment. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEP'1'bMBER 25,2000 PAGE 10 Johnson said the majority of material is 75-80 percent evergreen.They could do 100% evergreen if the board wanted. Typically with illustrations growth is shown 3-8 years. Evergreens grow 6-12 inches per year. Shade trees grow 12-24 inches per year. Merchant showed lighting within the canopy. The lighting combined with landscaping has eliminated light pollution from the fueling facility. Frank said the association provided written questions and those were addressed in writing. They agree with staff's conditions of approval and recommendation. Franzen stated that the permitted uses for this site are governed by the terms and conditions of the approved PUD and developer agreement for this site between the City and Ryan Construction Companies. It is four buildings and does not include a gas fueling facility and tire center. Costco needs to amend the zoning and the developer agreement. Costco requires additional mitigation than the approved plan because the impacts are greater. Therefore,the plan meets the city code requirements and does not exceed it. The conclusion section of the staff report describes how to review the proposal. The Board should discuss the use of the property first. If the board does not believe the use is appropriate, they do not need to discuss details of the plan. Waivers from the code are minor. The Board has options to approve or deny the plan,based on conclusions in the staff report. Terry Pearson, 10827 Leaping Deer Lane, said she was representing four communities that would be impacted Westonwoods, Hartford Place Community, and the Sanctuary. They oppose the land use. There are 240 homes;they have collected 230 signatures opposing Costco development. There are signs for Hartford Place shopping center that have been there four years and residents based their purchase decisions on that sign. Home Depot and Regal Cinemas were pulled. Costco is a big box proposal. She asked if the site was not guided and zoned commercial what the staff would pinpoint as the most appropriate use. Franzen said this site shouldn't be viewed in isolation since it is part of an approved PUD. Using what's current in planning today and in the market,the entire PUD should be intensified because of its proximity to highways and the • Eden Prairie mall. It could be intensified with a broad mix of land use including office, hotel,restaurant,medical;senior housing, and high density residential. The city is looking at combining transit,housing and commercial with five and six stories of residential over commercial on the transit hub site. The entire PUD COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 11 for this area could be done in a similar manner. For the Costco site higher intensity mixed use would be appropriate. Pearson said mixed use of retail and residential was an alternative the residents presented. She showed Wesley Commons in Golden Valley combining residential,retail and office. She said the Costco proposal was not consistent with the 1994 approved plan. The original plan was 4 buildings,with the largest one being 48,000 feet. This building is 149,000 square feet,was big box and had a gas fueling facility, tire center, and liquor store. The loading dock area and gas canopy make the plan 156,000 square feet. The orientation of the revised Costco plan positions the store to face the residential area. The plan requires a PUD and zoning amendment. The loading bays and tire center creates impulse noises which may be heard. Bob Peterson is the chair of the department of music at McAllister and is across from the tire center. They already hear beeping from Eden Prairie mall and the band from Champps. The gas facility would require a PUD and Zoning Amendment. Lighting would be intrusive. The building is unattractive, traffic queuing and safety is a concern. Warehouse Club Focus reported a queue of at least 6 cars per lane in a study. Costco without a gas station is not really an option. The traffic study did not address ADC, Flagship,mall development, gas wars, safety issues with left turn off Rolling Hills. Prairie Center Drive would be the only means of access in and out of the neighborhood. She said the residents were asking Costco to pull out and for the board to only consider alternative 2, denial of the project. Laura Wicklander, 9264 Harstad Lane, asked whether the board has considered alternative retail stores. She said they should not rush into anything. Frank said there was misinformation that should be cleared up. Corneille said he did not know what they could add. Frank said they should base their decision on technical evidence from experts not on emotions. Pearson said the presentation was the same presentation given at the last meeting and it is based on facts. Motion by Koenig second by Clinton to close the public hearing. Motion carried 7-0. The hearing closed at 10:10. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 12 Clinton asked Franzen to elaborate on conclusion 1. Franzen said the Board should be looking at the use of the property before discussion the details of the plan. If the land use is not acceptable,then the details do not need to be discussed. Foote said Costco did a good job with the screening,mitigating lighting,traffic analysis. He agrees with HR Green. This is the last piece of property in Eden Prairie of this size and it is not compatible with the PUD. They have to be careful with what goes there. He will vote to deny the project. Koenig said residents and Costco worked very hard and it is an emotional and technical issue and both sides have merit. She concurred with Foote regarding inconsistency with the PUD. She will vote no. Stock said she did not agree with the use. She had no problem with the tire center. The traffic would have been the same regardless. The waivers are not a problem, but she is not real comfortable with the loading dock,the big box, and the gas fueling facility. She will vote no. Stoelting said Costco has done a great job. The city has an approved plan. Adjacent neighbors area against amending the approved plan. He and he will vote against Costco mainly because of the fuel center being a 24 hour unmanned facility. Clinton said he was in his 9th year of being on the Planning Commission and Planning Board. He can look at projects in the city and not point to any that has been an absolute mistake. In the past there have been projects with the same concerns that do not manifest themselves. He said the approved four building plan is larger than the Costco plan. Hartford place when it was approved had the same concerns from neighboring residents. Looking at the facts, from a technical side, the traffic analysis was done well. There is impact from other parts of the community that is not addressed. Landscape mitigation,they did the best job they could. They were asked whether they could modify the building to two buildings on one site and Costco did not want to pursue this. The proposed use is not consistent with the proposed plan. Most issues were addressed in the mitigation: setback,buffer zones, lighting,but not use of the land. Corneille thanked Costco and the neighborhood for their presentations. He said they had facts and he concurred that the proposed land use was not consistent with the approved plan and not the best use of the land. Foote said residents should keep in mind the original PUD will still be larger, more signage,the same traffic. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 13 Motion by Stock, second by Koenig to deny the request by Costco Wholesale Operation for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 17.9 acres,Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 17.9 acres,Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 17.9 acres,Zoning District Amendment within the C-Reg-Ser Zoning District on 17.9 acres, Site Plan Review on 17.9 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 17.9 acres into one lot,based on plans dated August 10 and September 22, 2000 and subject to the recommendations of the staff report dated September 22, 2000 and the following reasons: • The proposed plan with one building, a tire center, and a gas fueling facility is inconsistent with the approved PUD plan and Developer Agreement dated November 1, 1994. • The plan does not provide an adequate transition to the adjoining residential neighborhoods as required by City Code. • The plan requires the following waivers from the City Code. • Number of parking stalls from 5.5 to 5.2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building. • Parking stall width from 9 feet to 10 feet. • Parking stall length from 19 to 20 feet. • Parking aisle width from 25 to 24 feet. • Loading in the front yard. • The plan does not mitigate the visual impacts of the gas fueling facility on adjoining residential areas. The canopy lights create a visual impact on the homes in the area. • The gas fueling facility is less architecturally pleasing than the approved plan for a one story, 7,500 square foot retail building. The architecture of the tire center with overhead doors is less architecturally pleasing than the approved plan with a brick and glass storefront. • The proposed architectural plan does not adequately reduce the visual impacts of the building mass. • The noise study indicates that some impulse sound from the truck dock and tire installation facility may be heard from someone outside of the townhouses northeast of this site. Motion carried, 6-0. Corneille thanked Costco for its presentation. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES April 10, 2000 Page 2 V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS A. COSTCO INFORMATIONAL MEETING Location: East of Prairie Center Drive between Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Lakes Drive. Corneille introduced the agenda item. The purpose of the meeting is: 1. Presentation of the concept plan by Costco for a 148,000 square foot building with tire center and gasoline. 2. To hear comments from residents on the proposed plan. 3. To identify development issues for Costco to address before returning to the Community Planning Board for a public hearing on the development project. Michael Stratus of Costco introduced the company as a cash and carry wholesale corporation and the 7th largest retailer in the U.S.. Costco currently holds primarily coastal stores but began Midwest expansion in Detroit three years ago. They began looking in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area 1 %2 years ago to identify potential sites. Foote asked about other communities under consideration. Stratus said a store is scheduled to open in St. Louis Park in November. Jack Frank outlined the store's profile. Costco's typical customer has an above average to median income. 40% of its sales are to other retailers such as office campuses/retail parks. The store sells 3,500-3,700 products; it markets fewer products but of higher quality at lower prices. Ted Johnson, Thompson Duke Associates,reviewed the approved site plan and proposed site plan, as well as two additional concept plans from a March 23rd neighborhood meeting. The approved plan is slightly under 18 acres with 165,500 square feet of space for retail and parking for 816 cars. Access would be on Prairie Center and Prairie Lakes Drive. Two outlots on Prairie Center/Prairie Lakes Drive and Prairie Center/Rolling Hills would provide space. In the proposed plan, the building would provide 148,400 square feet of retail space, one building in the southeast part of the site. There would be one entry at the corner of the site. One side of the building would offer tire sales and installation. This could be accessed from outside of the main warehouse facility. The northeast corner of store would be receiving and loading. 5:30 a.m.-10 a.m. are receiving/ loading hours. Store hours are 8-8:30 weekdays, Saturdays 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Sundays 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.. A gas canopy would be in the far corner of the property. Main access would be on Prairie Lakes Drive opposite Petsmart, on COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES April 10,2000 Page 3 Rolling Hills,with Right-In/Right-Out off Prairie Center Drive. Costco agreed to a • proposed area set aside for a weekend farmers market. A berm on south end of the property with landscaping will block the sight line from the residential area. Costco has created a wider/higher berm than in the original plan. Johnson showed a cross- section of the south end of the property that conformed with the approved PUD site plan.Year round landscaping will be provided. Because of comments from the neighborhood meeting, Costco created a concept plan pushing the building as far north and west as possible.Patrons would enter and exit from the same location. Andy Merchant described the architectural design,materials, and concept of blending with the existing environment. Michael Franzen, City Planner, said the staff report in this case is not a recommendation,but a historical comparison reviewing how plans were modified to meet code requirements and the issues affecting the proposed project. The original PUD for the property was approved for an office park in 1979 and 70,000 square feet of retail for the Costco site. The 1994 approved plan is 165,000 square feet of retail. Allan Perry of 10894 Leaping Deer Lane, Weston Woods, stated his opposition to warehouse development on that particular site. Residents are willing to work with city and developer for a more compatible, harmonious transition. Everyone who moved into the residential area knew that this site would be developed when they moved in. This is the 4th time something has been proposed and has been put down by the neighborhood. Mr. Perry would like to recommend rezoning to a "new urbanism" apt/condo retail concept that could serve the needs of commerce, tax base, and residents. Residents are concerned about noise from trucks, the HVAC, gas station, tires. He asked that the board recommend against a large retailer on this site. Terry Pearson of 10827 Leaping Deer Lane,Weston Woods, said she attended the informational meeting with Costco, a neighborhood meeting, and a walk the neighborhood effort.Major concerns of residents are: desire for compatible and harmonious site,problematic traffic,this will negatively impact the planning process. Big box warehouse will worsen traffic and compromise safety. Weston Woods and Hartford could be landlocked and without enough access. There are 240 homes; 200 signatures opposing the development were obtained. Annette Miller of 8435 Annapolis Way, Hartford Place townhomes, said she can see the development clearly from her residence. She opposes the development based upon lack of transition. She expressed concerns about hours of operation, membership exclusivity, gas station and its hours of operation, loading dock traffic entering and leaving,berm and site lines,parking, and duplication of services. She COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES April 10,2000 Page 4 said she would like to see sight lines from all directions. Sidewalks are needed in this development. Don McGlynn, 10836 Leaping Deer Lane, stated his opposition to Costco based upon its lack of integration in to the community. Joel Forslein of 17349 Bainbridge Drive said he has lived in three communities where there were Costcos.He said they had lower gas prices, lower grocery prices, and made good neighbors. Don Klingle of 10940 Kalewood Drive said he had nothing against Costco,but has there been a Costco in Minnesota in the past?The agenda calls for no additional signal lights. Doug Tamaski of 10556 Prairie Lakes Drive said he had a home in Palm Desert where there was a Costco and the traffic jams caused by stack-ups for gas were horrendous. Corneille recapped the concerns of the residents which included transition and integration, noise issues,environmental and traffic impacts,membership questions, sidewalks, aesthetics, and duplication of services. Mike Stratus said Costco was attempted in St. Louis Park in 1988. It opened too far from distributors and ended up closing. He said membership is no longer exclusive. Memberships range from$35-$100 per year and are directed mainly toward small to midsize business owners;the$100 membership is for very high volume users. Clinton stated that according to Costco its merchandising philosophy is non- threatening to other retail operations,but products it offers are sold within a mile or half mile by other businesses. Stratus responded that Costco sells in any product category,with a very limited selection,but high quality.People who want a greater product selection will still shop at Target,Best Buy, etc. The gas station will offer no products or services beyond gas. Filling time averages under 3 minutes. Gas station hours have changed to 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The average customer realizes a savings of$200-$300 per year in gas,paying for their membership. Koenig asked whether Costco addressed lighting issues since the parking lot and building are shown situated adjacent to a residential area? COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES April 10, 2000 Page 5 Andrew responded that Costco has provided adequate lighting of 2.5 footcandles per fixture with screening to keep lighting on the site. A lens in the fixture directs the light directly down. Lights will shut down at 11 p.m. except small fixtures on the outside of building. Koenig asked if the landscaping would be mature enough to provide a screen right away? Andrew stated that the height of the berm and maturity of trees should provide adequate screening. Stoelting requested a further explanation of the proposed Farmers Market. Status stated that this was a concept idea from a community outreach meeting. Stoelting asked about the flow of traffic through gas islands,the number of cars that could be stacked and the types of trucks that will be unloading. Johnson responded that the entrance point is off Prairie Lakes Road,with a stack area, and a right hand turn onto Prairie Center Drive, or Southwest onto Rolling Hills. There should be adequate access to and from the fueling facility. He also stated that a traffic study will be performed as part of the application submittal. He showed an alternate plan with a truck entrance from Prairie Center Drive to Rolling Hills into the site,backing into the loading docks. These trucks would include 18 wheelers and other vendors' single unit trucks. He said that there will be four docks in the loading area. Trucks would approach the site,back in and unload which would take 4%Z-5 hours. They would approach from 494 to Prairie Center Drive and would exit out to Prairie Lakes onto Prairie Center via a right-in right-out access. Johnson stated that at this time, a detailed study has not been completed. Clinton asked for more detail regarding the alternate plan. He also inquired as to the staging of the trucks and for more information regarding the traffic study. Clinton said, considering the delivery hours, Costco should look at traffic counts during peak hours to see existing conditions on these roads between 6:30—8:00 a.m. Stratus stated that all trucks come from a distribution center in Chicago;they are on site in a narrow window of time. If a truck arrives outside this time period,this is grounds for dismissal. Foote stated that alternate sites and other concept plan show buildings close to Prairie Center Drive. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES April 10,2000 Page 6 Koenig asked about the truck traffic and potential noise problems. Corneille said the issues should be prioritized as follows: land use,traffic,noise, sight lights and screening. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 2 A. COSTCO by Costco Wholesale Operation.Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 17.9 acres,Planned Unit Development district Review with waivers on 17.9 acres,Zoning District Amendment within the C- Reg-Ser Zoning District on 17.9 acres, Site Plan Review on 17.9 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 17.9 acres into one lot. Location: East of Prairie Center Drive between Rolling Hills Road&Prairie Lakes Drive. Jack Frank,director of real estate development for Costco Wholesale, said a goal in the project was minimal site impact. Costco conducted neighborhood meetings with neighborhoods adjacent to the site.As a result of the meetings, Costco revised the access,orientation,noise, and lighting impacts.Frank introduced Ted Johnson of Thompson Duke and Associates,Executive Vice President and Certified Planner, and licensed landscape architect. He addressed two documents, a binder showing that Costco was meeting the technical requirements of the zoning ordinance, and an 11 x 17 summary presentation. He met again with some neighbors two weeks ago to discuss site plan changes. The property is 18 acres; it is bounded by Prairie Center Drive to the west, and Prairie Lakes Drive to the north and Rolling Hills Drive to the south. The new plan places the building in the southwest quadrant of the site. The loading facilities are farthest from residential areas and the fueling facility is also at the farthest location from residential neighbors. The noise study accounted for noise generated from the loading area of the site and tire installation. Sight lines from the adjoining neighbors were addressed. The berm heights are between 8 and 18 feet from Prairie Lakes Drive and 6 to 20 feet from Rolling Hills. The approved plan for this 18-acre site, Hartford Place,was approved in 1994 for 165,000 square feet of commercial development. The proposed plan contains a building area of 148,663 feet, or a decrease in 16,630 sf of development. The principal building setback of the approved plan had a setback of 220 feet. Costco proposes a setback of 655 feet; this increased the principal setback by 435 feet. The traffic summary, contained an a.m.peak hour generation of 170 trips, Costco contains 60, or 110 fewer.The p.m. traffic from the approved plan contained 794 vs. 608 or 186 fewer trips. Comparing the total daily trips,there is a reduction of 1564.The landscaping analysis shows the approved plan at 296 trees or 832 caliper inches; Costco proposes an increase in 260 trees or 964 caliper inches. The approved plan contained 19 trees; Costco proposes 33. Andy Merchant, architectural representative, addressed the building compatibility, architectural character,and materials. He said the varying elevations with three- dimensional smaller elements break up the building mass. The goal was to achieve a design that was residential in character. Pedestrian walkways make it pedestrian friendly.Detailed archways were added,with faux windows, a trellis, and planters. The main body contains two types of brick;the dark gabled elements and the lighter brick added. The signage is minimized to one north and one south sign. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 3 Jack Frank said Costco was one of the few retailers willing to tailor a building to the environment. Costco concurs with alternative one in the staff report. Ray Moore of 10825 Leaping Deer Lane, a resident of Weston Woods said he was opposed to this use of the property because of inadequate transition. The possibility of liquor sales at Costco has not been addressed. Jan Hoffert, said when her property was purchased, they were told a small shopping mall and perhaps restaurants would be built. She would not have purchased her property if she had known that a gas station or warehouse would develop. The 1994 approved plan is obsolete; this type of development was not foreseen. Nancy Elerbee, resident, said she has shopped at Costco in other states. The Costco locations were commercial and industrial with no nearby residential. Annete Miller of 8435 Annapolis Way said Costco was not an appropriate development for commercial regional service. She contacted the City of Burnsville to compare the land use of Sam's Club,which was zoned warehouse industrial. Sam's Club is a competitor of Costco. She said there were many accidents on Prairie Center Drive and the plan did not provide properly for stacking. Beverly Sorenson of 10904 Leaping Deer Lane said cars must always enter or exit on Prairie Center Drive. This violates the safety and privacy of the neighborhood. The traffic analysis relies on 1994 data conducted with a 1994 PUD. The city should request a new study. It is already a level F problem. The 1994 PUD called for a stoplight at Eden Prairie Lakes and Prairie Center drive; over a 1.6-mile stretch there are now seven stoplights. If a stoplight was a traffic fix the city could have accomplished this before; this will not alleviate the congestion. Costco indicates 6700 customer trips; this should also include the loading dockworkers,bakery workers, and semis. • Don Klingel of 10940 Kiawah Drive said Costco is the largest warehouse club based on sales. It has a high sales volume and rapid inventory turnover with an 8- 12 percent margin. Because of this, Costco needs three customers to one of Target's. There are four stores in Chicago area; he visited two. The Chicago stores are not an adequate representation of a comparison. They were told shipping/receiving hours were 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. He showed pictures of delivery hours from a Chicago store of 4 a.m. to 12 p.m.He asked that Costco make clear statement of its delivery hours and whether there was a related enforceable ordinance. He would like concrete statement of whether semi trailers were left on site. The smell was very bad and there was spillage from trash containers. Tires were stored in the open. Shopping carts were chained,he asked whether this would be considered outdoor storage and whether it would be COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 4 addressed.Regarding the traffic analysis study; he asked whether they were considering future growth,the land code used,trips per indicated measure, number of studies included, and time length. He asked why the level of service was worse in the a.m. as a B and p.m. as an A. He found a case study done in 1993 from the institute of transportation engineer journal; applying the average range from the study and utilizing the sf of the warehouse as an independent variable,the weekday total trips were 5318 vs. 6206 from Costco.It is important to know what studies were used for traffic analyses,and size of warehouse is not a good indicator. Since 1990, Costco has grown 11.2 %per year. The average per unit is 101 million or $90 per average customer.The store is open 358 days per year and 10 hours per day. If Costco can provide other locations similar to this,he would visit the site. This location impacts 250 residents directly and several thousands indirectly on a daily basis. Bob Peterson of 10986 Leaping Deer Lane,read a quote from a newspaper in Detroit on a Costco opening. He read the noise ordinance.Noise would be a problem day and night. Impulse noises are very difficult to accurately measure, such as those from the tire center.He asked what choice they have in sound. Terry Pearson 10827 Leaping Deer Lane addressed the differences in the approved and proposed plans, citing the gas station and potential off-sale liquor. The largest building was 48,000 sf; Costco is at 148,000. The approved plan creates a better transition for homes. The building entrance faces residents. The Costco sign will face residents;homes. She referenced a City of Coon Rapids council meeting in which Costco stated that locations that did not have gas stations would add gas stations or relocate stores. The tire center requires a zoning amendment. 99%of Costco facilities sell liquor,2 do not.Frank stated the sale of beer and wine was different than selling spirits. Eden Prairie can only sell liquor at municipal liquor stores. Costco,said they would not go into a community if they could not sell liquor. Costco was denied in Coon Rapids for 1)liquor and 2)gas station. Subsequently Costco was meeting individually with councilmembers working to change the liquor ordinance or buying out the existing license. This is a poor transition;requires many variances,has a questionable traffic study, contradictory pictures and an interpretive sound study. Loren Anderson of 18376 Ebener Way said he was concerned that Best Buy was leaving and Eden Prairie was losing another tax base. Costco can bring people in. The city needs something to get the mall busy again. Keith Benson of Rain Dance Trail said he agreed with the main street concept; progressive communities are developing a village look. This is one of the last main pieces of land to develop. A 20-cent gallon cut on gas impacts other retailers;the city will have store closings.During Christmas sales double. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 5 Corneille recapped residents' concerns of offsale liquor, safety, traffic and the accuracy of analysis, sound, sign location, and land use. Franzen identified the main issues for the Board to discuss and the alternatives in the staff report. Motion by Foote, second by Brooks to close the public hearing.Motion carried, 5- 0. The public hearing closed at 9:16. Foote asked whether the gas station and tire store would be negotiable. Frank said the business model brings goods and services to the marketplace. The tire center and gas are a large part of the business. Costco would prefer to leave the proposal as it stands. Foote asked about the hours of the gas station. Frank said generally 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; some discretion is left to the store manager. Corneille said this addresses operational items but not the environmental issues. Frank said the gas stations obey laws. The technology utilized is state of the art. • All applicable safeguards are in this design. There is some noise, and some misrepresented facts. An acoustical analysis indicates meeting the City ordinance. Stoelting asked whether the fueling facility was unmanned. Frank said it was just a fueling facility,with no water or air; designed for economy; members only. Patrons must utilize a Costco card to activate the pump. The location is not important. It can be landscaped and screened as an integral architecture of the building. The price varies from 1 cent to 14 cents below average. This helps Costco add value to its membership. Stoelting asked whether this meant the fueling facility and tire center were non- negotiable. Frank said he did not have the ability to withdraw those. It is important to address what the issues are. The best thing was for the board to give specific feedback so that Costco can make a business decision. Stock asked whether it was true that 99 percent of the stores sell liquor. Frank responded yes. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 6 Clinton said he would like Franzen's comments on the difference in service districts. Franzen said the site is zoned C-Regional Service. Home Depot, Target, and Walmart are zoned the same. Costco is similar to the other uses and therefore is permitted in the commercial district. Clinton asked Gray about trip generation. Costco will generate the same amount of traffic as the approved plan. The gas customer is a store customer;most of this traffic is already in traffic figures from the store. 75%will do the trip at the same time; 25%will make a special trip for gas. Clinton said as far as the transition for neighborhoods,the model was designed to try to minimize the impact.He would support more buffer. Any retail place will have some of these same visual,noise and traffic impacts. Foote concurred. The PUD was approved in 94 for 165,000 sf.Regardless of what commercial use is built the traffic and impacts will be similar. This site is part is the market center of Eden Prairie. The gas station and tire center has insurmountable impacts. This is an unmanned facility.He asked how Costco would respond to gas spills. Stoelting said the traffic study was based on a 1994 analysis;one comment was the adequacy of the traffic study;he asked staff whether there would be a benefit to reevaluation. Gray said there is not a problem with the data.A comment was made that the study did not anticipate the growth of Chanhassen and Chaska. This is not true; the study considers traffic to 2015. According to the City's approved Transportation Plan,Prairie Center Drive will see 30,000 cars per day. The road is currently 23,000 or 24,000 per day. There is nothing wrong with the 1994 study. It includes not specifically Costco but very similar development in terms of retail, office, and residential traffic. Brooks said he concurred with comments regarding concerns with the gas station. Foote said he did not think the proposal was compatible with the approved plan because of the tire center and gas station. Stoelting said he concurred with Foote. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 7 Corneille said he concurred that the land use was different than the approved PUD because of the gas station, tire center, and the noise level. Frank said Costco would like the opportunity to clarify the traffic analysis. If the board were heading for a decision; Costco would request a continuance to go over the issues and have the opportunity to respond. Corneille said there was concern regarding if the proposed land use was acceptable. Koenig said she appreciated the neighbors' concerns,however the board must also consider the City as a whole. She was concerned about the gas station. Corneille said the gas station does not provide a transition and that a retail building maybe a better use. The tire center has noise and outside storage issues. Clinton said he would like to see more details on cars stacking on Prairie Lakes Drive through Rolling Hills. Stoelting said he would like to know whether it was true that the neighbors would need to keep windows closed because of noise. Foot asked staff about the lighting in the parking lot Franzen said the revised plan meets City requirements. Koenig asked Costco address the receiving hours. Clinton requested that Costco respond to the residents' statement that trucks were kept on site. Foote inquired whether the board was requesting that Costco eliminate the gas and tire operation. Corneille said the board was concerned that uses are not consistent with the approved plan and may need further mitigation. Frank said Costco would need a specific list of problems. There maybe some creative solutions. Costco is willing to work with residents. Franzen said the board should first discuss the use of the property. If the board believes this is the wrong land use,then the plan details do not need to be discussed. Corneille said the land use issue is the gas station and the tire center. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES AUGUST 14,2000 PAGE 8 Brooks said he would recommend alternative#2 with modifications involving the tire center, gas station. Stock said this use was not consistent with the approved PUD. Motion by Brooks, second by Stoelting to approve the Costco plan based on alternative 2 of the staff report. Brooks amended the motion to recommend approval of the proposal to the City Council based on plan changes including elimination of the gas facility and the tire center and approving waivers relative to parking. Motion seconded by Stoelting. Motion failed 3-4. Corneille asked for the vote. Brooks-yes,Foote-no, Stoelting-yes, Stock-no,Koenig-yes, Clinton-no, Cornielle-no. Foote asked why Clinton was opposing. Clinton said the board was approving the project without the tire center and gas station but does not approve of overall land use.Not all of the issues have been mitigated. • Motion by Stock, second by Clinton to deny project based on inconsistency with PUD and inadequate transition to the neighborhood. Brooks asked what Costco's alternative might be if the project is denied. Franzen said Costco could go to the council. The Board is advisory to the council. Council can make the final decision. Motion failed 3-3-0. Brooks-no,Foote-yes, Stoelting-no, Stock-yes,Koenig-no, Clinton-yes. • Motion by Clinton second by Koenig to continue the item to the September 11 meeting. Motion carried 5-1. The board took a five-minute recess at 10:30. . MEMO Randy Newton, PE To: City Traffic Engineer City of Eden Prairie From: Howard Preston, PE Howard R Greer' m pany Craig Rasmussen Subject: Costco Traffic Impact Study Date: September 19, 2000 The Howard R. Green Company has completed a review of the traffic impact study completed by Westwood Professional Services for a proposed Costco store near the intersection of Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes Drive. Rather than providing an item-by-item critique of each of Westwood's assumptions and calculations,we chose to conduct an independent analysis. Each of the calculations and assumptions summarized in this memorandum were independently derived, and are documented as such. We have also provided,where appropriate, a comparison • to Westwood's results.The independent identification of traffic related impacts by both studies would indicate an additional"check"of the conclusions. The methodology used for this traffic impact study included the use of the most reasonable and conservative possible approach. By using the most conservative approach, this analysis documents a"worst-case"scenario. A summary of the key factors in this impact study is included in the following sections. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is located along Prairie Center Drive between Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Lakes Drive. Prairie Center Drive is a four-lane divided arterial with a posted speed limit of 40 miles-per-hour (mph). The average daily traffic(ADT)on Prairie Center Drive is approximately 19,000 near the site. Prairie Lakes Drive is a two-lane collector street with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. The ADT on Prairie Lakes Drive is approximately 3,200. Rolling Hills Road is a short local street that runs along the perimeter of the site between Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes Drive. The primary access to the site is proposed to be located on Prairie Lakes Drive. The intersection of Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes Drive was identified as the key intersection that would be impacted by development of this site. This "T" intersection is currently ' controlled by a through-STOP condition. On Prairie Center Drive, there are right and left turn lanes on the approach to the intersection, and Prairie Lakes Drive has one left turn lane and one right turn lane. The existing AM and PM peak hour turning movements are documented in Figures 1, 2 and 3. Using the existing peak hour traffic volumes, intersection geometry and intersection traffic control, H:\Projects\Costco\MEMO 9-18-2000.doc the worst movement for this intersection was determined to operate at Level-of-Service (LOS) D during the AM peak hour and LOS F during the PM peak hour(minor street left turn). The documented LOS is based on the most congested movement for the intersection. However, the overall delay for the intersection is actually about 5 seconds per vehicle, resulting in LOS A conditions. This is a common situation for similar intersections with mainline volumes that are orders of magnitude higher than the minor street. Therefore, the vehicles on Prairie Center Drive experiencing no delay would mask the smaller amount of vehicles on Prairie Lakes Drive experiencing high delay. This is the reason why the most congested movement(minor street left turn) LOS was presented in this report,which is consistent with typical reporting of this delay. Delay measures were obtained by the use of SimTraffic TM-a microscopic traffic simulation model that computes measures of effectiveness. Based on the concern of some motorists experiencing extreme delay while attempting a left turn from Prairie Lakes Drive to Prairie Center Drive, a field study of delay was performed during the PM peak hour. Results from that study are included in Table 2,which suggests an actual average delay of 29 seconds per vehicle, or LOS C operation. It should be noted that several vehicles experienced LOS F conditions,with a maximum observed - delay of 110 seconds. Therefore,the results of the field observations are consistent with the results from the traffic modeling,which indicate some vehicles on Prairie Lakes Drive experience significant delay while attempting a left turn movement. • The SimTraffic TM model suggested a maximum queue of 6 vehicles on westbound Prairie Lakes Drive. The field study used to check delay also indicated a maximum queue of 6 vehicles on the east approach. Therefore, it can be concluded with a high level of confidence that the results • from the traffic model are in agreement, if not more conservative, than actual conditions. • TRIP GENERATION The estimated trip generation rates were obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation, 6th Edition manual. Rates in this manual are accepted industry standards and are commonly used for most trip generation calculations. The manual allows for calculation of peak hour generation rates for the peak hour of site generation and the generation during the peak hour of adjacent street traffic. To provide a conservative estimation,the rates for the peak hour of generation were used. • This Costco development is proposed to consist of approximately 149,000 SF•of wholesale retail space in addition to a members-only fueling facility. Costco has indicated that a large portion of the fueling trips are associated with a combined trip to the retail area. Since these trips are combined internally, they are referred to as shared trips, and may be accounted for by applying a reduction factor to the estimated trip generation. Based on Costco data, this reduction factor was computed to be approximately 72%. However, in order to provide the most conservative analysis, the trip generation was also calculated by assuming that there would be no shared trips. The total daily trip generation from this site was estimated to be between 6,760 and 8,200 vehicle trips per day(depending on the use of the reduction factor). This range of generated trips corresponds to 760 to 900 vehicle trips during the PM peak hour. It should be noted that the AM peak hour of generation is considerably lower than the PM peak hour, since the store is planned to open at 10:00 am,which does not coincide with the AM peak hour of street traffic. The calculated trip generation characteristics are located in Tables 3 and 4. H:1Projects\Costco\MEMO 9-18-2000.doc Another check of the trip generation rates was completed using data from Costco door counts at similar facilities. Using data from seven store locations, the actual door counts were combined with average vehicle occupancy data (1.45 persons per vehicle—Source: ITE Trip Generation. 6u' Edition)to provide an additional check of the results. Using the peak hour of door counts from the sample size, the estimated vehicle generation from that store was 357 vehicles per hour. This accounts for only in-bound trips, and therefore closely corresponds to the calculated generation rate of 355 vehicle trips per hour, as indicated in Table 5. This indicates that the generation rate used by Howard R. Green Company is consistent with the highest trip generating store. The previously approved land use plan for this site was forecast to generate approximately 8,300 vehicle trips per day,with 800 of those trips occurring during the PM peak hour(Source: Traffic Analysis for Hartford Place Development in the City of Eden Prairie, July 1994, RLK Associates, Ltd.). Based on the most conservative analysis possible,the Costco land use is expected to generate approximately 8,200 vehicle trips per day with 900 vehicle trips during the PM peak hour. A comparison of trip generation completed by H.R. Green,Westwood, and the approved plan for . • this site is included in the following table. Table 1 —Comparison of Expected Site Trip Generation Howard R. Howard R.

Some examples of typical methods include: • Market survey . • Data from other local stores • Comparison of ADT •. Propensity of existing turning movements • Since there are no known market survey data, as well as no local Costco stores to compare data with,the comparison of ADT provides the best available resource. ADT information was obtained from Mn/DOT 1998 ADT flow maps for roadways surrounding the site. A zone of influence from the site was developed and the.ADT on each roadway segment intersecting that zone was compared to all other approaching roadways, as indicated in Figure 4. H:\Projects\Costco\MEMO 9-1&2000.doc It should be noted that traffic on 1-494 was not included in the directional orientation calculation. The primary reason for omitting this traffic is because trips that would utilize 1-494 to reach the site area would be accounted for with Prairie Center Drive traffic. In addition, it is our opinion that the predominant type of traffic on 1-494 (long distance commuting and interregional travel) is not consistent with the typical type of trip generated by the Costco development. In general, approximately 50% of site generated trips were oriented to the west on Prairie Center Drive,while 47.5% of trips were assigned to the north on Prairie Center Drive. The remaining 2.5% of site generated trips were assigned to the east on Prairie Lakes Drive. Since Prairie Lakes Drive connects to no other through streets,this traffic would be attributed to existing. residential and office development traffic that would be attracted to the site. POST-DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC FORECASTS • A combination of the trip generation and the directional orientation data was used to develop AM and PM peak hour turning movements at the intersections of Prairie Center Drive with Prairie Lakes Drive and Rolling Hills Road, as indicated in Figures 1,2 and 3. The site generated traffic was added to the existing background traffic, and assumes no"pass-by"trips(this assumption is consistent with the conservative"worst-case"approach). OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The City requested that two key factors be addressed as part of the operational analysis. First, the operation of Prairie Center Drive/Prairie Lakes Drive (including delay and queuing)and secondly, the potential queuing associated with the gas station on site. intersection Operation • The intersection of Prairie Center Drive/Prairie Lakes Drive is expected to operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours under the post-development scenario with the existing traffic • control. The congestion associated with this condition would result in up to 70 vehicles queued on the east approach. A typical strategy to mitigate LOS F conditions with long delays and queuing,would involve the installation of a traffic signal at this intersection. With a traffic signal, the intersection is forecast to operate at LOS B during the AM and PM peak hours, with a maximum queue of 275 feet (see Table 6). The proposed Costco driveway location nearest to this intersection is expected to be approximately 450 feet to the east of Prairie Center Drive. This separation would provide sufficient distance to prevent operations at the intersection and driveway from inter-acting. It • should be noted that City staff has indicated that as part of the development agreement for this site, a traffic signal at this intersection would accompany the construction of Costco. Gas Pump Queuing By definition, queuing is the resultt.of the demand exceeding the service rate of a facility. In the case of the proposed gas station, a queue would develop when the expected rate of vehicle trips generated exceeded the average duration of fuel stop. As indicated in Table 4, the expected PM peak hour demand is approximately 190 vehicle trips for 12 fueling stations (95 inbound vehicles H:1Projects\CostcolMEMO 9-18-2000.doc and 95 outbound vehicles). This rate suggests that an average turnover time for each fueling station is approximately 8 minutes. A review of available literature produced no additional information regarding average duration of stay at the fueling station. Therefore, empirical data were collected,which suggested that the .average transaction time for a fuel stop is between 4 and 8 minutes. It was noted that a typical fuel stop at a gas station consisted of filling the vehicle's tank,followed by the customer entering the attached store—sometimes accompanied by shopping for convenience items—followed by some monetary transaction. For the proposed Costco fuel station the anticipated duration of stay • is expected to be less than 8 minutes since there is no convenience store attached, cashier to conduct monetary transactions, as well as the restriction of fueling operation to"members only." Therefore, it is suggested that the average pump turnover rate would likely be closer to the low end (approximately 4-5 minutes per transaction)of the range,which would reduce the chance of queues developing at the fueling stations. However, since these calculations are based on average peak hour rates, it should be noted that unusual variation in traffic demand might result in queuing at certain times. Based on the proposed site plan, there is room on-site to store approximately 35 vehicles in the 300.feet(with 6-lanes) of queued vehicles generated by the fueling station. It is likely that this on-site storage could accommodate variations in peak hour traffic. Assuming a turnover rate of 5 minutes, the fuel stations (144 vehicles per hour), combined with the storage area (35 vehicles)could accommodate a peak hour demand of 180 vehicles per hour without queuing onto Prairie Lakes Drive. This is nearly twice the expected (based on ITE trip generation) rate of 95 inbound . vehicles during the PM peak hour of generation. CONCLUSIONS • The estimated trip generation for the proposed site, as developed by Howard R. Green Company, is between 6,760 and 8,200 vehicle trips per day with between 760 and 900 of those trips occurring during the PM peak hour. • Based on directional orientation calculations from existing ADT data, the traffic related impacts to adjacent residential neighborhood appear to be minor since there are no through local streets. • Without the installation of a traffic signal at.Prairie Center Drive/Prairie Lakes Drive, LOS F conditions would exist during the AM and PM peak hour with long queues. However, the installation of a traffic signal, which is part of the development agreement,would mitigate delay and queuing problems. • Although there is little published data relating to queuing at fuel pumps,the nature of the "members only"operation with no attached convenience store, combined with empirical data, suggests that queuing at the fuel pumps will not affect public street operations. • The findings of this traffic impact study are consistent with the findings presented by Westwood. In addition, the expected traffic generation from the Costco site corresponds with the approved traffic generation of land-use plan for this property.

I hope that my response will help clarify your questions. The first motion of the Board was to approve the project without the gas and tire service. The motion failed. The Board made a second motion to deny the projectfor reasons stated in the staff report. That motion failed. The Board made a third motion to continue the project to the September 11, 2000 meeting in order to answers questions raised by • residents and the Board, and to conduct additional traffic analysis for impacts on the adjoining roads. The Board also closed the public hearing after the comments from the neighborhood were completed. In order to allow public comment at the next meeting, the project must be published in the newspaper and notices mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the property. The newspaper notice will be appearing in the August 31st addition of the Eden Prairie News. The public hearing notices will be mailed out on September 1st. At the September 11, 2000 meeting Costco will make a presentation on additional information requested by the Board. The Board will open the public hearing for comments. After public comments the Board will discuss the proposal. The-Board will then vote to approve, deny, or continue the project. If the Board votes to approve or deny the project, it will then be sent to the City Council for a public hearing. You will receive a public notice for the City Council meeting. Sinc r ly Michael D. Franzen City Planner • r• Recyclable Paper Dear Community Planning Board, City of Eden Prairie Officials and Editor of EP News, I am an Eden Prairie Resident who will live within 1 mile of the proposed Costco. I am not or have ever been an employee of Costco; I am just a loyal member. I strongly support the building of the proposed Costco for the following reasons: It will be better for the near-by EP residents than if the current plan were built to the letter. The current plan calls for 4 medium sized buildings, presumably 4 separate business. There is a certain level of retail market "saturation" occurring within the greater Minneapolis; the population cannot support another pet store, craft store, home improvement store, or office supply store. These are the types of business described in the current plan. However, these businesses would probably perform marginally and may or may not thrive, or even worse, cannibalize the sales of existing Eden Prairie businesses. A Costco business will be successful. This is better for the near-by residents because there will be less business turn over. Moreover, it would be easier for the near-by residents to resolve issues with a single business such as Costco, than it would be if there were 4 separate businesses. Although the near-by residents might be too entrenched in their negative attitudes towards Costco to see it, Costco is an excellent member of the community. They don't sell firearms, they conduct yearly fundraisers to support local charities, and they develop and support their employees. They have repeatedly asked for a list of specific issues that the near-by residents want resolved and they will work their plans to accommodate and allay as many of the issues as they can. Four separate businesses may not be as cooperative or proactive. It will be good for all of Eden Prairie residents Costco is a great place to shop— it is like catalog browsing with exercise. Each aisle is filled with wonderful stuff. To add to the enjoyment of the shopping experience, Costco liberally gives away samples of their food products. Moreover, and I think this is a reality we residents of EP have to be pragmatic about, Costco will bring in tremendous sales tax revenues. Residents from our southern and western neighboring communities will stop by Costco on their way home from work to pick up a few necessities and infuse fresh money into our burgeoning micro economy. Costco is a great employer. These are good jobs. Costco provides their front-line employees with a computerized state-of-the-art distribution system that provides real- time data to make profit-enhancing decisions. Young 2o something people get great resume-building career experience. The community achieves a collateral benefit having a single business such as Costco [rather than 4 separate business] because with less business turnover there is a more consistent level of employment. It will be good for Eden Prairie businesses Costco will draw people to the area, who will then go support the nearly Cub Foods grocery store, the new and improved Target, and the new Eden Prairie Mall. You cannot buy almond flavoring for cookies, diaper rash cream for babies, or sit down and see a movie at Costco. The near-by businesses would greatly benefit from the synergy provided from Costco. And after all, the proposed site is in the heart of the Eden Prairie Center. This would make our Eden Prairie Center a one-stop shopping garden of Eden [no offense intended]. Two issues which seem to resonate with the community planning board was that a gas station and a tire service center were not in the original plan. This should not squelch the whole • proposal - I am sure Costco would be willing to work with the community to implement these features in a community-acceptable way. As a seasoned Costco shopper, I have used these services and I hope that the residents will believe Costco's assertion that the tire service center WILL meet Eden Prairies' current acoustic guidelines. In fact, it has been my experience that the radios played by the Costco tire changers are louder than the actual service being performed. [aside: tires are not stored in the service centers—patrons purchase the tires inside the store and then bring them to Costco tire service employees to put on their vehicles. The tires shown in the meeting were probably old tires waiting to be picked up for recycling]. The gas station will meet [and better yet] exceed all environmental standards for gas stations. I know it. I cannot wait to hear the thunder of Minnesota residents feet pounding the pavement to demand that the current environmental standards for ALL gas stations be upgraded to those of Costco's gas stations. Their tested technology truly radically reduces fumes emitted and spills from gas station pumps. Our water systems will benefit from this technology—this one controversial issue may end up causing a greater good to happen. In summary, the near-by residents could have a worse business neighbor and they must come to grips with the reality of having a successful business as their neighbor. It appeared to me that the arguments presented by the near-by "designated speaker" residents at the community planning meeting were suspiciously specious. The land is zoned commercial, RIGHT NEXT TO THE EDEN PRAIRIE MALL. Sooner or later the near-by residents will have to deal with a business being developed very close to their property. They knew that when they bought their homes. I would hope that the near-by residents would want the new business and our new Eden Prairie Mall to be successful and, unfortunately, with success comes traffic. There are creative ways of dealing with traffic—other communities have dealt with it, we can too. And at the rate that Chanhassen and Chaska are being developed, traffic woes are in our future regardless of Costco. Let us make the best use • of it and provide our neighbors with a convenient place to spend their money. Costco is a good corporate citizen and they will work with the residents to minimize the impact their business has on the residents' quality of life. Since not every nuance of operating a business can be legislated, I suggest that the community planning board set up a special "resident/Costco"team to draw up initial operating guidelines, prescribed regular meeting times and attendees, and a grievance resolution procedure. Thank you for your time and attention. I elect to withhold my name because the near-by residents were so rude to those who had opinions that differed from theirs. June 27, 2000 Mike Franzen Eden Prairie City Planner Eden Prairie City Offices 8080 Mitchell Road Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Dear Mr. Franzen: I am a resident of the Weston Woods Townhome Community in Eden Prairie, Minnesota located across the street from the proposed Costco Warehouse development. I believe the site currently under consideration in Eden Prairie is the wrong site for a big box warehouse development. My main issues are: 1. This is Not a Compatible, Harmonious Transition: The original site plan, and what we have been expecting, included four significantly smaller retail units with much better ambiance then the big box concept Costco is proposing. I have heard the argument that the Costco proposal has less square footage than the original plan, however, the feel and presence of one big box warehouse is not at all harmonious with the fact that homes are ' located right next door. I have attached a copy of the site plan so you can see where our beautiful homes and neighborhoods are in relation to this big box proposal. Please note that the average priced home in this area is $250K, not the kind of home you would expect next to a Costco Warehouse. 2. Traffic: The traffic congestion that already exists is difficult at best and perhaps dangerous at peak traffic times. Our neighborhoods are landlocked with only one way in and out. With the development of the new upscale Eden Prairie Center across from the proposed big box Costco Warehouse, the traffic could be a deterrent to both business sites and a continued frustration to the residents. Please note that a Lunds Grocery Store closed four years ago just a block away due lack of easy access. Prior to moving to Eden Prairie, I lived in California for nine years and have shopped at Costco Warehouses. I am all too familiar with the traffic congestion that exists around the warehouses particularly if the warehouse has a gas station (as is proposed for this development). I realize that one traffic signal is proposed for this site, however, the two traffic signals around each of the warehouses I have visited did not seem to deter the congestion at all. 2. Environmental Impact: I have witnessed first hand the environmental impact that a Costco Warehouse has on the immediate vicinity. Trucks backing up with beepers early in the morning, noisy refrigeration units on the trucks and the top of the building, trash compactors working during all business hours, to say nothing of the dangers of gasoline storage tanks located near residential areas. I know a noise study has been conducted and the existing noise levels are already near or at maximum EPA standards. The additional noise from a Costco Warehouse on this site and the noise from the renovated Eden Prairie Center should put the levels well beyond acceptable limits by the EPA. Again, an alternative site may more appropriately handle the environmental impact of a Costco Warehouse.. The residents of our neighborhoods are eager to work with the Eden Prairie Community,Planning Board, the City Council and Ryan Companies to develop a more compatible and harmonious development that is more indicative of the vibrant and visionary community Eden Prairie has the opportunity to become. We would also be happy to work with the Costco Development Team to find a more appropriate site for the warehouse within Eden Prairie. I respectfully request a reply to this letter.

The purpose of my letter is to tell you four reasons I object to the proposed Costco Wholesale warehouse across the street from my home. First is the traffic burden the big box Costco project will add to Prairie Center Drive, at Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Lakes Drive. Prairie Center Drive is the only access road to and from my home. The proposed 800 parking stalls (and potential 800 cars per hour), and 8 to 14 delivery trucks (50-52 feet long!) from 6:30am — 10:30am will make a traffic nightmare out of what is already over-congested intersections during rush hour traffic times. Recently Eden Prairie (shopping) Center began renovations. If they are successful in bringing in more business (plans are for the mall to increase by 20%, to 1.1 million square feet) the lack of land available for road expansion makes any future remedy an extremely costly project for the city of Eden Prairie. I have read the Traffic Analysis Update for Proposed•Costco Wholesale in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, May17, 2000, and find questionable practices. For example, the use of a 1994 traffic study when more recent studies exist (Hartford Place courthomes didn't exist until 1995). I also find the decision to reduce the typical ITE rate by 75% (linking shopping trip with gas purchase when we know that a Costco shopping visit is a destination visit, not spontaneous) to be rather flippant. I find the conclusion that Costco would generate 20% less traffic than the previously-approved Hartford Place commercial development on the same site to be illogical, as Costco is a business that draws from the region and not just the local area. I find Costco's conclusion that a traffic signal at the intersection of Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes Drive would solve the traffic congestion problem to be wishful thinking, not thoughtful planning.. Secondly I object to the excessive noise that would come from the big box warehouse (cars and delivery trucks, truck backing-up warning beeping) directly across the street from my home. The quiet enjoyment of my home would be severely disrupted. Then there is the duplication of services issue. I attended the Informational Meeting of April 10, 2000. The products and services Costco has to offer are available at numerous large stores one to four miles from my home. Lastly is the transition issue. Please allow me to quote from an editorial in our local newspaper, "...Without giving weight to transition, Costco and city officials will have plunked a massive warehouse across the street from people's homes. And that's not smart planning." I very much appreciate Costco's proposal to increase the berm and landscaping, but that will do nothing to ease the traffic burden from Costco's customers and delivery trucks. I'm sure Costco products and services are very nice, but it is the location (right across from our homes!) that I object to. Big box warehouse operations such as Costco's are typically located in light industry zones. I respectfully remind you of the Eden Prairie Vision statement, quoted here from Community News, Respect for the Past-Planning for the Future: Eden Prairie is a vibrant city characterized by the thoughtful integration of natural beauty with physical development. Respect for the past, planning for the future...where people live, work, shop, and play. Where is the"thoughtful planning"? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, ' Ms. Theresa M.

First,I'm against the placement of a Costco, or any large retail store,on the land adjacent to my home. Here are a few reasons I believe another location may be more suitable to your firm. Reasons number one,I was lead to believe that a small strip mall was intended for this property,by the agent selling these properties. If this type of store were to be placed,many of us in this development would be forced into litigation against the seller,and this action would likely hold up the construction of any store. The second reason is that our property values would decrease,which I realize is not a concern of yours,but the city would definitely be force into litigation over this event. The third reason is traffic. This traffic reason should be a major concern of your firm, as well. Traffic in this area is already a major problem. Often,I'm not able to exit Rolling Hills Road to enter Prairie Center Drive. I realize that traffic is what is desired in your type of business and others,but this type of traffic will force people to alternative routs,which would defeat your purpose of choosing this location. Additionally,a group of wealthy homeowners,near this planned development,have voiced to me that they're willing to go the distance to prevent this type of store from being allowed. Finally,as your probably aware,Target,Wal-Mart,and other retailers in the area,have been strong advocates of the protestors against this planned development. I have a feeling that if the protestors are looking for financial support to deter any further development of a similar retailer, to that of a Target of Wal-Mart,they have the support they need. Anyway,I hope that your firm is able to find a location that's suitable to everyone in the metro area. However,from the standpoint of cost,I recommend an alternative to this location Eden Prairie. Respec ly, All R.Johnson Resident 11240 Providence Lane Eden Prairie,Minnesota 55344 ARJ/arj CC: Dr.Jean Harris,Mayor,Eden Prairie Mr.Michael Franzen,City Planner,Eden Prairie Mr.Mark Weber,Editor,Eden Prairie News Ms.Melissa Levy, Staff Writer, Star Tribune .t Mr.Michael Franzen City Planning Board 8080 Mitchell Road Eden Prairie,Mn. 55344 Dear Mr.Franzen, I am writing in regards to the proposed development at Prairie Center Dr.,Prairie Lakes Dr. and Rolling Hills Rd. by Costco. I have attended the two informational meetings on 3-23-2000 and 4-10-2000. My concerns are as follows: Costco is selective in it's customer base and does not offer anything new to the people currently served by existing retailers in the area. Pricing is not a consideration in that the majority of the population in our area would not use the service. How many of us want to buy a 24 case of canned beans?_ A worse case scenario could have five or more trailers staged in the area. The jockeying of multiple semis in switching to and from full and empty trailers would make for a very busy place. I do not believe that the noise or traffic from this activity can be contained within the dock building. The noise would be disrupting to the neighborhood. The proposed gas station would be unattended which would leave any gas spills open to tracking and evaporation into the environment. Smoking and leaving engines running would not be controlled in any way. The sight line between the Costco building and the two level townhomes directly across the street would not be broken at the 2 ends by the proposed berm. In addition the height of the berm around 97% of the property is totally ineffective. In recent years the use of the word "berm" has been applied very liberally in Eden Prairie.A `bump' in the surface would be more appropriate; consider the"berms" at Pet Smart,Mattress Giant,Home Depot etc... Even with a stoplight(s) at the corner(s)the trucks will not be able to exit from the Costco property during peak AM hours as the traffic is backed up trying to get on Prairie Center Dr. In the information packet that was distributed at the 4-10-2000 meeting reference was made to the"sidewalk" that connects this area to Nesbit Park. The"sidewalk" located on the berm in back of the one level townhomes is private property and is not maintained or supported by the City of Eden Prairie in any manner. Considering this is to be a public"sidewalk"goes beyond the concept of a simple path that connects neighborhoods. The use of the path is already causing some problems because of people cutting through private yards as a shortcut and damaging sod.

Mike Franzen-Costco Proposal __-Page From: "Jan Otteson" <jotteson@devax-inc.com> To: "Michael Franzen"<mfranzen@edenprairie.org> Date: 8/14/00 1:59PM Subject: Costco Proposal Mr. Franzen: I am writing this letter regarding the proposal to build a Costco near Eden Prairie Center and Hartford Place. For the last five years I have been a resident at Hartford Place (10865 Lexington Drive)and I am very troubled by this proposal. The increase in traffic and the environmental issues will be overwhelming. The Hartford Place is a residential area (children, pets) and to have all this traffic- including a gas station - right next to our townhomes will not be a sight any of us would like to see or to have right outside our area. As it is,when you try and exit from Prairie Lakes Road it is very difficult-what will it be like when you add a warehouse, etc.???? Previously a Home Depot was proposed and the City decided against it. The Costco is no better choice than a Home Depot. Please respond to me on this issue. I look forward to hearing from the City of Eden Prairie. Thank you for carefully reviewing this proposal.

Thank you! ********** Dear Sirs & Madams, I am one of the MANY citizens of Eden Prairie present at yesterday's meeting. The room was FULL, in fact, not only were citizens standing in the room, there. were some outside the room watching the monitors. stood through the entire portion of the meeting dealing with the first item on the agenda, COSTCO. • This ran approximately 3.5 HOURS. Let me respectfully submit that I am extremely disappointed at the indecisive ending to this issue. It was clear to me that the members of the Community Planning Board wanted to be unequivocally FAIR to COSTCO. I am also in favor of being fair to any person or company. However, may I submit that allowing a fiscally strong corporate entity 6 months of preparation and multiple presentations to the Planning Board and the community IS fair. It was also clear that NO ONE on the Community Planning Board was in favor of the COSTCO proposal WITH a fueling station and tire facility. So, why is it that the final outcome was two poorly phrased motions which were in line with the thoughts of most citizens in attendance which failed and a final approved motion allowing the ENTIRE project to move forward?!? I am not clear on the next step...is COSTCO allowed to move forward to the City Council with their FULL proposal? Must they return to the Community Planning Board for some type of an actual DECISION before they are allowed to proceed to the City Council? It is all very unclear. I would appreciate a reply from someone clarifying the next action allowed COSTCO and the date it is to be scheduled. My final thoughts: I, as an Eden Prairie citizen, am thoroughly disappointed that the outstanding efforts of my fellow Eden Prairie citizens,who are not ,Mike Franzen-Comuty Planning M' _ rmni Bc MCP Meeting on 8/14/2000 �_ Page 2 fiscally supported and have hung together for a long, drawn out 6 months, have apparently been dismissed by the Community Planning Board's inability to make the obvious and correct decision to deny the current COSTCO proposal.

"A Sign of Friendly Service Since 1936" Alifternber 11, 2000 M . Michael Franzen, City Planner Eden Prairie City Hall 8080 Mitchell Rd. • Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Dear Michael: We are writing to state our position regarding the proposed Costco store. Dispensing gasoline 24 hours a day results in glare from lights, noise from the public as well as the large delivery trucks off-loading inventory and giving off the offensive diesel odors. All this plus an increase in the traffic flow near a residential area would seem inconsistent with the development standards set by this community. The residential area adjacent to the proposed Costco project is an established neighborhood. They expect a soft buffer between high traffic noise and lights that have been built on the inner perimeter of Prairie Center Drive versus the proposed Costco which brings the traffic, the lights and semi-trucks delivering all hours of the day and night to the outer perimeter of Prairie Center Drive. As a business owner inside the Prairie Center Drive perimeter, aside from the obvious desire not to have the competition, which would reduce our property value (based on return on investment valuation method); we encourage new businesses to the vicinity, but only in areas where we as high traffic, well lighted businesses do not infringe on our residential neighbors. There must be other locations that would serve the needs of Costco and its' cust- omers as well, if not better than this one. Hopefully, when all is said and done, . the City will be able to find a solution that is fair and equitable to all sides. Thank you. nc- `el ., ii° 4 SchwarIse & Ka_ Y - Dr. Jean Harris, Mayor Members of the City Council Members of the Community Planning Board MOBIL CAR CARE CENTER FLYING RED HORSE 7965 Wallace Rd.

I am not or have ever been an employee of Costco; I am just a loyal member. I strongly support the building of the proposed Costco for the following reasons: - It will be better for the near-by EP residents than if the current plan were built to the letter. The current plan calls for 4 medium sized buildings, presumably 4 separate business. - " There is a certain level of retail market"saturation" occurring within the greater Minneapolis; the population cannot support another pet store, craft store, home improvement store, or office supply store. These are the types of business described in the current plan. However, these businesses would probably perform marginally and may or may not thrive, or even worse, cannibalize the sales of existing Eden Prairie businesses. A Costco business will be successful. This is better for the near-by residents because there will be less business turn over. Moreover, it would be easier for the near-by residents to resolve issues with a single business such as Costco, than it would be if there were 4 separate businesses. Although the near-by residents might be too entrenched in their negative attitudes towards Costco to see it, Costco is an excellent member of the community. They don't sell firearms, they conduct yearly fundraisers to support local charities, and they develop and support their employees. They have repeatedly asked for a list of specific issues that the near-by residents want resolved and they will work their plans to accommodate and allay as many of-the issues as they can. Four separate businesses may not be as cooperative or proactive. • It will be good for all of Eden Prairie residents Costco is a great place to shop— it is like catalog browsing with exercise. Each aisle is filled with wonderful stuff. To add to the enjoyment of the shopping experience, Costco liberally gives away samples of their food products. • Moreover, and I think this is a reality we residents of EP have to be pragmatic about, Costco will bring in tremendous sales tax revenues. Residents from our southern and western neighboring communities will stop by Costco on their way home from work to pick up a few necessities and infuse fresh money into our burgeoning micro economy. Costco is a great employer. These are good jobs. Costco provides their front-line employees with a computerized state-of-the-art distribution system that provides real- time data to make profit-enhancing decisions. Young 2o something people get great resume-building career experience. The community achieves a collateral benefit having a single business such as Costco [rather than 4 separate business] because with less business turnover there is a more consistent level of employment. It will be good for Eden Prairie businesses Costco will draw people to the area, who will then go support the nearly Cub Foods grocery store, the new and improved Target, and the new Eden Prairie Mall. You cannot buy almond flavoring for cookies, diaper rash cream for babies, or sit down and see a movie at Costco. The near-by businesses would greatly benefit from the synergy provided from Costco. And after all, the proposed site is in the heart of the Eden Prairie • Center. This would make our Eden Prairie Center a one-stop shopping garden of Eden - [no offense intended]. August 23, 2000 Community Planning Board City Council City of Eden Prairie City of Eden Prairie 8080 Mitchell Road 8080 Mitchell Road Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Re: Costco - Project No. 2000-17 Dear Board and Council Members: As homeowners in the Sanctuary residential development of Eden Prairie, we wish to express our opposition to the proposed Costco Wholesale Operation project now under consideration by the Community Planning Board. It is the consensus of all Sanctuary homeowners that the Costco "project constitutes an inappropriate use of the 17 . 9 acre site location at issue in our community for the reasons set forth below. 1. Traffic. The projected increase in traffic and congestion on Prairie Center Drive, Prairie Lakes Drive and Rolling Hills Road is one of the most compelling reasons why the Costco project must be rejected. The traffic-related impact Costco will have in this already congested area, particularly in light of the renovations underway for Eden Prairie Center and the increased traffic that project will create when completed, will be more than substantial. Once finished, Eden Prairie Center advertises that it will contain "over 80 new stores, " a Target Greatland, a Von Maur department store and a new movie theater. The development of Costco' s planned high volume wholesale operation, coupled with the renovated Eden Prairie Center, will no doubt create a level of congestion. on Prairie Center Drive far beyond the expectations of this community. As residents of the Sanctuary, it is well known that our development has only one means of access to and from our homes. We have no option but to travel on Prairie Center Drive at its intersection with Prairie Lakes Drive or Rolling Hills Road. In the event that the Costco project is approved, access to and from our homes will be significantly impaired during retail hours. The increase in traffic will have a detrimental impact upon our quality of life, our property values., and our ability to safely access city streets outside of the Sanctuary. Of no less importance is the difficulty emergency services will have in accessing our neighborhood. Community Planning Board and City Council August 23, 2000 Page 2 2 . Alternative Site Locations. We believe that there are numerous locations situated throughout Eden Prairie that would serve as a more practical location than the site presently under consideration. For example, the Community Planning Board is well aware of the recent Home Depot proposal that met with vigorous neighborhood opposition for many of the same reasons Costco is now under opposition by the affected neighborhoods . Ultimately, Home Depot located its warehouse facility in a more suitable location near automobile dealerships and a lumber yard, and not adjacent to residential neighborhoods . We urge this city to reject the site at issue for Costco - there are many other acres of real estate in Eden Prairie in the area of Home Depot and to the West of that site that are much better suited 'for a high volume business such as Costco. The Prairie Center Drive site was a poor choice for the "big . box" Home Depot . warehouse, and it is a poor choice for the "big box" Costco warehouse. The operations of those businesses are markedly similar. 3 . Transition to Existing Neighborhood. It is our understanding that Costco has proposed both a gasoline station and tire center. Standing alone, the approval of Costco would be a disaster for the adjacent neighborhoods. The approval of a gasoline station and tire center, however, could only make a bad situation even worse with the added noise and traffic those features will bring. Apartment buildings and small offices serve as suitable buffers to large operations such as Costco. The approval of Costco without anything to buffer the noise, traffic and undesirable aesthetics that operation will bring to our neighborhoods would amount to haphazard city planning. 4 . Duplication of Products and Services. Costco adds practically nothing to the City of Eden Prairie in terms of new products and services . There is a Target, Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Cub Foods less than one mile from the site proposed for Costco, which collectively carry most of the same products to be sold at Costco. Clearly, the over 80 new stores to be opened in Eden Prairie Center will cause additional duplication of products and services. As for Costco' s planned tire center, there are numerous establishments offering tires less than one mile from the Costco site (Sears, NTB, Firestone, Goodyear, Amoco, Tires Plus and Mobil, just to name a few) . Additionally, there are already four gasoline stations less than one mile from the Costco site. Costco adds nothing to this community but additional traffic and noise. Community Planning Board and City Council August 23, 2000 Page 3 5. Safety. With the increase in traffic and congestion will come a corresponding compromise to the safety of our neighborhoods. Making a left turn onto Prairie Center Drive during the rush and noon hours is already difficult and dangerous. While a traffic light at Prairie Lakes Drive may remedy that situation, it will not reduce the traffic on Prairie Center Drive. As Sanctuary residents, we are trapped and have no option but to battle an already dangerous traffic situation on Prairie Center Drive. The approval of the Costco project will further compromise safety in the area. In fact, this area is so unsafe that we cannot enjoy a simple bike ride with our families, children and friends without taking our lives in our hands. There are no bike or walking paths that enable us to access Prairie Center Drive and adjoining roadways from our neighborhoods. As a result we must walk or bike on dangerous streets in order to take advantage of the amenities in and around the Eden Prairie Center area. Costco will certainly not improve that situation. 6. Noise. It is Costco' s plan to have large tractor trailers deliver product to their warehouse during early morning hours. Observations of Costco warehouses in other states reflect deliveries as early as 4 : 00 a.m. Costco'.s present building configuration and orientation on the site indicates that the deliveries, which generate substantial noise. from diesel engines and forklifts, will be to the rear and side of the warehouse - directly across the street from the Hartford Place townhomes. Even more appalling is the fact that Costco desires to install a tire center in the proposed facility. One need only stand outside of the several tire centers in the area for a few minutes to gain an appreciation of the noise generated by pneumatic impact wrenches and vehicle hoists in operations of this nature. It is no accident that these other tire centers in Eden Prairie do not border upon residential areas. There is no reason why we need to have such a facility bordering our residential neighborhoods . 7 . Misrepresentation. It is Costco' s clear intent to tell the City of Eden Prairie and its affected residents what they want to hear in order to convince all affected parties that a Costco warehouse is a desirable business for this site location. A cursory review of the statements and actions of Costco to date indicate an obvious intent of Costco to misrepresent the nature of their operations in order to deceive the City of Eden Prairie and its neighborhood opposition. Community Planning Board and City Council August 23, 2000 Page 4 For example, at the August 14, 2000, Community Planning Board hearing, Costco previously made the statement that its delivery hours are limited, typically between 5 : 30 a.m. and 9: 00 a.m. However, observations by Weston Woods resident Don Klingel of Costco operations in Illinois reflect published delivery hours between 4 : 00 a.m. and 12: 00 p.m. This was pointed out by Mr. Klingel at the August 14, 2000, hearing. In addition, at the initial neighborhood meeting held last Winter, Costco representatives stated that their practice is not to have delivery vehicles staging at their loading docks. Mr. Klingel also proved this to be a misrepresentation of the facts at the hearing by virtue of photographs depicting detached trailers at Costco locations in Illinois. Countless .shopping carts left in the parking lot overnight and outdoor tire displays in other Costco locations are further evidence of eye sores uncovered by Mr. Klingel . It is important for the City of Eden Prairie to take note of the fact that if Costco is misrepresenting the facts about these issues, it is likely that Costco is not disclosing the facts about other issues as well. Costco' s intent is to paint this project in the most desirable light as possible in seeking approval of this project. Given Costco' s track record at this early stage, a high level of skepticism must be given to how Costco states their warehouse will operate. 8 . Zoning. Many of us in the Sanctuary, Weston Woods and Hartford Place purchased our homes in partial reliance that the site location at issue would encompass "retail" stores, which is how the site has been advertised and zoned. We have seen proposals for that site prior to Costco' s plans, all of which are more desirable than what Costco has planned for the site. Unfortunately, we are now faced with Costco' s desire to rezone the site, and install a massive warehouse facility, all of which is contrary to how that site was held out to the community. Frankly, we feel that we are falling victim to a bait and switch at the hands of Costco. 9. St . Louis Park Project. A Costco warehouse is presently under construction in St. Louis Park. We believe that it would be a measure of responsible city planning for Eden Prairie to reserve any decision regarding Costco until the completion of the St. Louis Park location so that Eden Prairie can use, that location as an example of how Costco will impact the area, particularly if the St. Louis Park warehouse involves a gasoline station and tire center. We have been told by more than one source that Costco' s discounted gas sales trigger significant traffic. Community Planning Board and City Council August 23, 2000 Page 5 In summary, it is our position that the Costco warehouse operation is 'an inappropriate use for the site location at issue. - As affected residents, we are greatly concerned about the traffic and other issues detailed above that point to Costco as an undesirable business for this site.

I feel that the location would be ideal, and the store would be an asset to our community. I know that there are neighborhoods that are fighting development, but I feel that they should be reminded that all of the land around them is zoned as commercial. They certainly should have seen the Eden Prairie Mall and all of the other commercial enterprises either in business or in development, as many of them were there before the developers built their neighborhood (on land that was formerly zoned commercial). As a 15 year resident of this community who lives off of county road 4, my family has grown up around massive change and development in the name of "progress and the greater good". If my memory serves me,this would be the 3rd proposal that has come to your commision. It is about time to build a business and make use of the land. It would be reasonable and even prudent • to make a lighted intersection for traffic,which would calm some of the objections. We in the city should not be held liable, however,for the shortsightedness of any homeowner that claims to be"surprised" by commercial development. I fervently wish that the Cosco store be approved by your.commision very soon. Too many"shopping dollars"leave our community, and you should do what is needed to keep our residents and their money here where it belongs. Thank you for giving me a chance to voice my view.

My home is located very near Prairie Center Dr.The current traffic is already heavy and the additional ammount which will be generated when the mall renovation is completed will be huge. I have shopped at a Costco store in the Phoenix area and realize the amount of traffic it generates. I have no problem with the store itself and would consider another location in Eden Prairie.

I still travel extensively in cities with a Costco presence. Costco stores may have a fit in Eden Prairie,but I'm not convinced one should be squashed between Rolling Hills Road,Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes Drive. My recollection is that Costco is generally found in more industrial or warehousing locations. Automobile and pedestrian traffic alone,not to mention semi-trailers and trucks necessary to stock such a facility,shape up as a congestion nightmare for those of us counting on Rolling Hills Road for access to our residential community. I might add that the developer of Weston Woods advised us that this property was zoned for"offices,restaurants,typical strip mall stores,etc."when we purchased our home. As well,you might drive by the property and take note of the faded signage that reads"Hartford Place Shopping Center coming soon, 194,000 sq.ft". To authorize this site for a building covering nearly 3.5 acres,plus parking,for the sole purpose of wholesaling large volumes of products including gasoline to the masses will undoubtedly have negative impact on the neighborhood and it's residents. Costco competitors(Target,Wal-Mart,etc.)are appropriately located conveniently nearby,so those of us residing in the area do not need another • discounter on our doorstep to augment shopping choices. I would be only too pleased to welcome Costco to Eden Prairie,at some location in line with the needs of the type of business they conduct and with consideration for the integrity of our community. I'm sure there are many such options,away from residential property. Sincerely, Lol) . Don Pottinger 914-0386 Mar-31-00 10:27A P_01 3/31/00 I have followed with interest the various plans being offered for the pristine proprty that is now being considered by cosco and the city. I have read with interest in the city paper , the intent of the city(knowing we are falling short) to turn downtown eden prairie into a vital, inviting and attractive area. A goal we all share. I understand that the property across from_ petsmart will be built and the owner has a right to do so and profit. • I saw one of the best opportunities be taken back by the city and put in the failing mall to shore it up instead of being built there due to parking space. I . was at that meeting and felt there was a resolution but... powers that be apparently had another plan. • In view of the city goal to have a walking downtown area that is attractive and financially viable it escapes me that a monolithic enormous concrete building(warehousc as it is called) could add to that plan in one of the last unbuilt areas around the eden prairie center which is supposed to be the jewel of our vision. I do not see that eden prairie is in need of another gas station where there . are already 4 or 5 in a 3 block radious. Well I am sure, the city counsellors will prove me to be just a worrier. I am sure they have already viewed the rebuilt downtown of robbinsdalc. Yes...robbinsdale. I am sure they have been through the wayzata downtown, edina downtown, excelsior downtown and the brand new • planned maple grove buisiness area that just went up around byerlys storc(otd fashioned brick store fronts and benches, sidewalks ,'windows), very inviting and they don't even have anderson lake to showcase as we do! I want to stay in my own town to shop,cat,live and walk. Please make that possible. Find another solution. Cosco is about as low as we can go. The message it sends is not consistent with the message we want. •Mar-31-O0 10:28A P_01 i;clp your citizens keep faith that the vision can be attained. .

You can look at what you allowed when private homes in the area and next find a solution to merging the people of Eden Prairie with the commercial end. What an opportunity to say No and look at the traffic which you also know by the statistics you have on file that the roads are already at the max without the reconstruction of the shopping mall. There was a sound test which you will find out the noise level without"big" 13 wheelers between 5 and 10 a.m. is already at the maximum readings. It is now time to take a stand to preserve the quality of life for the over 200 private residents that pay over $800,000 in taxes and ask very little in return because you do not have to take care of our streets and look for a project that will enhance the neighborhood. We deserve"quiet enjoyment"of our residences. The people of this area have no alternative routes to go to work,shopping or church. We are totally landlocked if there is a traffic jam. In checking with people in California,as stated at the planning commission,when Costco adds a gas station the lines go for miles. The city and the people CANNOT afford that type to traffic. There are 50 reason's to turn down Costco for this site. However,let us get to the chase. You were elected to preserve the welfare of the residents of this community. Now is the time to tell Costco they are welcome in an area close to Highway 5 where they will not impact the people of your community.

The homes on the'north side of Lee Drive would be directly impacted by this development. After reviewing the proposed plans at City Hall,we have questions we would like addressed at the meeting on June 26th. 1. What are the maximum building heights for the various options,and how do the heights compare with the surrounding homes? Given the fact that this is a residential area,will the condos or senior apartments exceed the current building height restrictions? 2. What are the planned setbacks from the existing property lines to the building exteriors for the various options? 3. What provisions are included for such things as privacy fencing, berms, landscaping, etc., to create both visual and sound barriers between the proposed buildings and existing homes? Please be specific re planned heights,type of landscaping, efforts to preserve existing trees, etc. 4.Will the exterior lighting be consistent with that of the surrounding area? (e.g.street lights on Lee Drive are in the form of "turn-of-the-(19th)century"soft lamplight, rather than bright, harsh mercury vapor lighting.) 5. What is the maximum number of auto's per resident that will be allowed to be parked outside, either overnight or for extended periods? 6. Will dumpsters, etc., be required to be placed inside the condos or senior apartments,so nearby homeowners don't have to look at and smell them? • If not,what provisions will be made to screen them from public view and control odors? 7. What provisions will be made for visual and sound barriers between the proposed development and Pioneer Trail for the protection of the residents of the new development? (Seeing as how anyone with a brain can figure out that, after it is expanded to 4 lanes Pioneer Trail will carry twice as much traffic and be twice as noisy as it already is, regardless of. the highly questionable conclusions of Hennepin County's environmental impact studies.) Thank you for your attention to our questions. We will be at the meeting Monday June 26th.

I believe the site currently under consideration in Eden Prairie is the wrong site for a big box warehouse development. My main concerns are: 1. This is Not a Compatible, Harmonious Transition: The original site plan, and what we have been expecting, included four significantly smaller retail units with much better ambiance then the big box concept Costco is proposing. I have heard the argument that the Costco proposal has less square footage than the original plan, however, the feel and presence of one big box warehouse is not at all harmonious with.the fact that homes are located right next door. Please note that the average priced home in this area is $250K, not the kind of home you would expect next to a Costco Warehouse. 2. Traffic: The traffic congestion that already exists is difficult at best and perhaps dangerous at peak traffic times. Our neighborhoods are landlocked with only one way in and out. With the development of the new upscale Eden Prairie Center across from the proposed big box Costco Warehouse, the traffic could be a deterrent to both business sites and a continued frustration to the residents. In a recent meeting with the neighbors and Costco, Mike Stratis, a brocker for Costco, was asked "What if traffic is beyond the projections in your study and it requires traffic police to monitor it?". He replied "That would be very frustrating for the Costco members and if the road infrastructure could not handle the traffic then they would simply sell the building and find a better site". We do not need another Lunds sitting vacant for years in our neighborhoods! Prior to moving to Eden Prairie, I lived in California for nine years and have shopped at Costco Warehouses. I am all too familiar with the traffic congestion that exists around the warehouses particularly if the warehouse has a gas station (as is proposed for this development). I realize that one traffic signal is proposed for this site, however, the two traffic signals around each of the warehouses I have visited in California did not seem to deter the congestion at all. 3. Environmental Impact: I have witnessed first hand the environmental impact that a Costco Warehouse has on the immediate vicinity. Trucks backing up with beepers early in the morning, noisy refrigeration units on the trucks and the top of the building, trash compactors working during all business hours, the muffled hammer tools of the tire center are examples of the noises Costco will introduce to our homes. I am familiar with the sound study that has been conducted and it suggests that the noise from Costco will have "very little impact" on our neighborhood, however, impulse noises (such as those from the tire center and trucks beeping) may be heard. Mike Franzen stated that impulse noise is difficult to measure accurately and that these noises may indeed impact our homes more than the study suggests. 4. How the Costco plan differs from the original approved site plan: The original plan had no gas station, no tire center or no retail facility that sells liquor. Yes, I said liquor! Costco has proposed all three! Based on these three significant departures from the original plan alone, I suggest the CPB and the City Council deny the Costco proposal currently under review. The residents of our neighborhoods are eager to work with the Eden Prairie Community Planning Board, the City Council and Ryan Companies to develop a more compatible and harmonious development that is more indicative of the vibrant and visionary community Eden Prairie has the opportunity to become. We would also be happy to work with the Costco Development Team to find a more appropriate site for the warehouse within Eden Prairie or another , community. I respectfully request a reply to this letter so I may better understand your thoughts on these issues. • Sincerely, Terry Pearson 10827 Leaping Deer Lane Eden Prairie, MN 55344 terry pearson@smartforce.com 952-946-9668 • June 27, 2000 • Mr. Jeffrey H.

I have heard the argument that the Costco proposal has less square footage than the original, however, the feel and presence of one big box warehouse is not at all harmonious with the fact that homes are located right next door. I have attached a copy of the site plan so you can see where our beautiful homes and neighborhoods are in relation to this big box proposal. Please note that the average priced home in this area is $250K, not the kind of home you would expect next to a Costco Warehouse. 2. Traffic: The traffic congestion that already exists is difficult at best and • perhaps dangerous at peak traffic times. Our neighborhoods are landlocked with only one way in and out. With the development of the new upscale Eden Prairie Center across from the proposed big box Costco Warehouse, the traffic could be a deterrent to both business sites and a continued frustration to the residents. Please note that a Lunds Grocery Store closed four years ago just a block away due lack of easy access. Prior to moving to Eden Prairie, I lived in California for nine years and have shopped at your warehouses. I am all too familiar with the traffic congestion that exists around your warehouses particularly if the warehouse has a gas station (as is proposed for this development). I realize that one traffic signal • is proposed for this site, however, the two traffic signals around each of the warehouses I have visited did not seem to deter the congestion at all. 2. Environmental Impact: I have witnessed first hand the environmental impact that a Costco Warehouse has on the immediate vicinity. Trucks backing up with beepers early in the morning, noisy refrigeration units on the trucks and the top of the building, trash compactors working during all business hours, to say nothing of the dangers of gasoline storage tanks located near residential areas. I know a noise study has been conducted and the existing noise levels are already near or at maximum EPA standards. The additional noise from a Costco Warehouse on this site and the noise from the renovated Eden Prairie Center should put the levels well beyond acceptable limits by the EPA. Again, an alternative site may more appropriately handle the environmental impact of a Costco Warehouse. The residents of our neighborhoods are eager to work with the Eden Prairie Community Planning Board, the City Council and Ryan Companies to develop a more compatible and harmonious development that is more indicative of the vibrant and visionary community Eden Prairie has the opportunity to become.. We would also be happy to work with your Costco Development Team to find a more appropriate site for your warehouse within Eden Prairie. I have heard over and over again that Costco is a good neighbor. Be that good neighbor, do the right thing, and find an alternative site. I respectfully request a reply to this letter.

Dear Mayor Harris, • What an opportunity the city council has to finally say NO to another"big box"in a congested area of Eden Prairie. You can look at what you allowed when private homes in the area and next find a solution to merging the people of Eden Prairie.with the commercial end. What an opportunity to say No and look at the traffic which you also know by the statistics you have on file that the ' roads are already at the max without the reconstruction of the shopping mall, There was a sound test which you will find out the noise level without"big" 13 wheelers between 5 and 10 a.m.is already at the,maximum readings. It is now time to take a stand to preserve the quality of life for the over 200 private residents that pay over $800,000 in taxes and ask very little in•return because you do not have to take care of our streets and look for a project that will enhance the neighborhood. We deserve"quiet enjoyment"of our residences. The people of this area have no alternative routes to go to work,shopping or church. We are totally landlocked if there is a traffic jam. In checking with people in California,as stated at the planning commission,when Costco adds a gas station the lines go for miles. The city and the people CANNOT afford that type to traffic. There are 50 reason's to turn down Costco for this site. However,let us get to the chase. You were elected to preserve the welfare of the residents of this community. Now is the time to tell Costco they are welcome in an area close to Highway 5 where they will not impact the people of your community.

Brotman: • • Chairman Costco Wholesale Corporation 999 Lake Dr. Issaquah WA 98027 Dear Mr. Brotman: I am a resident of Hartford Place Courthomes, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The purpose of my letter is to tell you four reasons I object to your proposed Costco Wholesale warehouse across the street from my home. First is the traffic burden your big box Costco project will add to Prairie Center Drive, at Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Lakes Drive. Prairie Center Drive is the only access road to and from my home. Your proposed 850 parking stalls (and potential 850 cars per hour), and 8 to 14 delivery trucks (50-52 feet long!) from 6:30am - 10:30am will make a traffic • nightmare out,of what is already over-congested intersections during rush hour traffic times. Recently Eden Prairie (shopping) Center recently began renovations. If they are successful in bringing in more business (plans are for the mall to increase by 20%, to 1.1 million square feet) the lack of land'available for road expansion makes any future remedy an extremely costly project for the city of Eden Prairie. Secondly I object to the excessive noise that would come•from your big box warehouse (cars and delivery trucks, truck backing-up warning beeping) directly across the street from my home. The quiet enjoyment of my home would be severely disrupted. Then there is the duplication of services issue. I attended the Informational Meeting of April 10, 2000. The products and services you have to offer are available at numerous large stores one to four miles from my home. • Lastly is the transition issue. Please allow me to quote from an editorial in our local • newspaper, "...Without giving weight to transition, Costco and city officials will have plunked a massive warehouse across the street from people's homes. And that's not smart planning." • I very much appreciate Costco's proposal to increase the berm and landscaping, but that will do nothing to ease the traffic burden from Costco's customers and delivery trucks. I'm sure your products and services are very nice, but it is the location (right across from our homes!) that I object to. Big box warehouse operations such as yours are typically located in light industry zones and I see many available sites in the Eden Prairie area. I hope you will consider more suitable sites and thank you for your time and attention. • • Sincerely, • (oukr4LO►r*�. r2S'1 deN - XC: J.D.Sinegal, R.D.DiCerchio, T.K.Walker, R.A.Galanti n J .)1 1— • May 3,2000 • A copy of letter sent Costco Wholesale Corporation • Mr.Jeffrey H.Brotman • Chairman Costco Wholesale Corporation 999 Lake Drive Issaquah,WA 98027 Dear Mr.Brotman: • • Subject: Proposed Costco Store in Eden Prairie,Minnesota Thank you for taking the time to review this letter. First,I'm against the placement of a Costco, or any large retail store,on the land adjacent to my home. Here are a few reasons I believe another location may be more suitable to your firm. Reasons number one,I was lead to believe that a small strip mall was intended for this property,by the agent selling these properties. If this type of store were to be placed,many of us in this development would be forced into litigation against the seller,and this action would likely hold up the construction of any store. The second reason is that our property values would decrease,which I realize is not a concern of yours,but the city would definitely be force into litigation over this event. The third reason is traffic. This traffic reason should be a major concern of your firm,as well. Traffic in this area is already a major problem. Often,I'm not able to exit Rolling Hills Road to enter Prairie Center Drive. I . • realize that traffic is what is desired in your type of business and others,but this type of traffic will force people to alternative routs,which would defeat your purpose of choosing this location. Additionally,a group of wealthy homeowners,near this planned development,have voiced to me that they're willing to go the distance to prevent this type of store from being allowed. Finally,as your probably aware,Target,Wal-Mart,and other retailers in the area,have been strong advocates of the protestors against this planned development. I have a feeling that if the protestors are looking for fmancial support to deter any further development of a similar retailer, • to that of a Target of Wal-Mart,they have the support they need. Anyway,I hope that your firm is able to find a location that's suitable to everyone in the metro area. However,from the standpoint of cost,I recommend an alternative to this location Eden Prairie. Respectfully, A Resident • rc Co.',--}-rl C r-e_ 1 e-ln r , Alan and Kristina Perry 10894 Leaping Deer Lane Eden Prairie MN 55344 952.942.3375 • krisp(avisi.com May 30,2000 Mr. Jeffrey H. Brotman, Chairman Costco Wholesale Corporation 999 Lake Drive Issaquah, WA 98027 Dear Mr. Brotman: We write this letter as residents of the Weston Woods Townhome Community,which is located across the street from where Costco has proposed opening a new store in.Eden Prairie,Minnesota. While we think Costco would be a fine addition to Eden Prairie,we strongly believe your planners have chosen the wrong site on which to build. Reasons to build elsewhere include: 1. Traffic: The number one concern among homeowners in this area is increased traffic congestion. At the current time,traffic around the mall is heavy and dangerous. Once the remodeling of the Mall is complete,it is anticipated that even more residents and non-residents will flock to the Mall, compounding the traffic congestion. Also, as you have heard on more than one occasion from residents,we have a terrible time exiting our neighborhood each morning. In fact,we have to attempt to turn right out of the development because it is so dangerous,instead of turning left,which, for many, is the direction we need to travel to get to'our respective jobs. The installation of a traffic light will only moderately help this situation, and even more lights will be needed. We were recently talking to a woman from our church in Eden Prairie who had moved here from California. While she loved shopping at Costco,the first thing she said when we told her about your plans was, "Oh,no,the traffic will be horrendous and your neighborhood will never be the same!" She said the increased traffic in her California neighborhood was one reason she moved. 2. Environmental Impact: We are deeply concerned about the increased noise in the neighborhood from the trucks, especially noisy refrigeration trucks. The heating and air conditioning units on top of the building will also be very noisy. The proposed gas station is of great concern due to the underground storage of the fuel and the fire hazard of the tire storage area. An unmanned gas station is • simply not acceptable because there could be a hazardous spill. A lengthy environmental study will need to be conducted before a gas station could be located in a residential neighborhood. 3. Duplication of Services: As you know,the Eden Prairie Mall is directly across the street from the proposed site. There is also a Cub Foods located in very close proximity as well as Target,Wal Mart and other discount stores within the Mall. You would be wiser to locate elsewhere in Eden Prairie where your goods and services wouldn't compete with existing merchants. 4. Neighborhood Aesthetics: The neighborhood is looking for a more compatible, harmonious transition from our neighborhood to the Eden Prairie Mall. Virtually everyone who moved into our development over the past few years was aware the site would be developed,but it was our understanding that the land would be developed into smaller retail stores/restaurants/strip mall. This is the fourth time that a"big box"concept has been proposed and rejected by the neighborhood. This site would be far better suited to senior citizen apartments and/or additional office space. There truly should be a better transition from the Eden Prairie Mall structure with massive parking to our beautiful neighborhood. There are already a number of large retailers in Eden Prairie and there is a need for the smaller strip mall structure that has more convenience and a variety of shopping with easy-in, easy-out accessibility,versus the daunting large parking lots where one has to walk great distances to get into the store. We don't believe your company planners have given you all the information and perspectives needed for you to make a final decision on this site. We would welcome Costco as an addition to the Eden Prairie business community. However,we know your large,big box structure would be better suited elsewhere in Eden Prairie. Please restore our faith in the notion of working together to find a good solution that fits everyone's needs. Costco says it wants to be a good neighbor and only locate in areas where it's wanted. You have the opportunity to live up to that promise. You wouldn't want a warehouse built next to your home and neither do we nor hundreds of other homeowners in our area. It's time to look elsewhere and truly be a good neighbor for Eden Prairie. We look forward to your response. Sincere , • eo.„,y Alan R.

THORFINNSON,JR.,COUNCILMEMBER NANCY TRYA-LUXENS, COUNCILMEMBER MICHAEL FRANZEN, COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD August 8,2000 • Eden Prairie City Council Members Dear Sir: This letter is in response to the proposed Costco site located on the corner of Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes'Drive. I feel compelled to state in writing my opposition to the location of this project. Traffic at this corner is already difficult to tolerate. A left hand turn from Prairie Lakes onto Prairie Center Drive is impossible during morning rush hour. A left hand turn from 494 onto Prairie Center Drive during rush hour is dangerous at best. Adding more truck deliveries and customer traffic for only makes an already difficult traffic situation worst. The planned growth at Eden Prairie Mall will add an additional traffic problem with or without Costco. The Castro Gas Station plans will add an overwhelming traffic jam that-will not be fixed with traffic lights. If you look at the traffic backups from the traffic lights now you can picture how adding another signal light on Prairie Center Drive would multiply the • problem. • As an interested member of this community, I am concerned with the overall city planning and inconsistent zoning policies. In the case of the Sanctuary development the zoning was changed from office complex to residential. I understand that after this zoning change was made, the fast pace of the residential developments and the popularity of this location for families and neighborhoods came as a surprise to some members of the planning board. The fact remains that the board made this zoning change and cannot ignore the fact•that- these neighborhoods were built with the city's blessing. Once the board made this change the rights of the residents to protect the value of their homes, provide a safe environment for their children and a reasonable access in and out of their neighborhoods should preclude any consideration of a high volume commercial venture on this corner. It is my belief that we have all participaed in building a great community here and it is your duty to protect any and all neighborhoods from this type of intrusion. Page 2 Home Depot and Costco are good companies that should be welcomed and encouraged to locate in Eden Prairie. Retailers such as these should be able to locate in our city in properly zoned, well defined areas that would be an asset to the community not a burden to its residents. A well defined "big box"area where traffic flow can be managed with easy access to Highways such as the location the city planners of St.Louis Park approved for their Costco location. I am sure Costco is as surprised as the residents of Eden Prairie that they have been able to get this far in the planning stage in a location that would be so obviously beneficial to a large retailer but so damaging to its resident's neighborhoods and their access to and from their homes. • Sincerely, Marty Skeels 8603 Crane Dance Trail Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (952) 941-6850 Mike Franzen-Proposed Costco War use 1 Page 1 From: Kristina Perry<krisp@visi.com> To: <Imcwaters@edenprairie.org>, <cenger@edenprairie.org>, <mfranzen@edenprairie.org> Date: 8/9/00 9:34PM Subject: Proposed Costco Warehouse NOTE to Ms. Loreen McWaters: Please forward this message to the Mayor& all City Council Members. NOTE to Mr. Mike Franzen: Please include this letter in the Community Planning Board (CPB)packet for their meeting on Mon. 8/14. • An Open Letter To All Eden Prairie City Officials: Next to a person's family,one's home and neighborhood is one of the. most highly valued possessions to be cherished...which is why I'm • appalled that you would consider placing a warehouse in our quiet, residential neighborhood. • Can you honestly say you have fully considered all of the horrendous possibilities of putting a warehouse, an unmanned gas station and a noisy tire-changing facility right in the middle of a neighborhood that has no outlet except wading through the traffic,trucks and congestion that will be created by this huge warehouse/parking lot? I doubt it, or you would have found a way to not allow it before now.Ask yourself these questions: Is Cub Foods located in a residential neighborhood with no way out? Is Target? Or Wal-Mart?Or even Home Depot?Of course not--you wouldn't in good conscience allow it.Your vision of what Eden • Prairie should look like wouldn't allow you to do it.So don't do it now...to us. There are petitions with more than 200 signatures of Eden Prairie residents who don't want this warehouse in their back--or front--yard, • and the number is growing every day.They're not wild-eyed, crazy people looking for a way to stir up trouble this summer.They're your citizens • who want to live in the Eden Prairie neighborhood they paid for--and continue to pay for--one that is free from the problems of safety, access to their homes, environmental hazards, noise, smell and traffic congestion that will be caused by planting a warehouse in what amounts to a large cul-de-sac. • All you need is one reason to turn down the proposal you have in front of you...but there are many you can choose from.You've already,heard numerous reasons from neighborhood members at previous meetings and- through letters, emails, phone calls, petitions, personal visits, etc. What you need to do now is act. Remember, if you allow a warehouse on this site,you-won't be there when the rush hour traffic comes to a standstill...or when the lines of cars waiting to get into the gas station clog the entrance to your street...or when the incessant beeping of backing-up trucks wakes you up at 5:30 a.m....or the ack-ack air guns fire away at changing tires from open bays...or when the stench of discarded meat,fish and produce blows in your window.You won't be there, but we will. You can go home somewhere else after your vote on this issue, but we Mike Franzen-Proposed Costco War -use �___T____.__ Page 2: can't.Ask yourself how you would vote if you lived in our neighborhood...with a warehouse.Answer honestly and you'll have the answer as to how you should vote. One final thought:You're not alone in your deliberation on this issue. The City Council of Coon Rapids recently turned down a Costco project proposed there. Their reasons?Traffic, gas station, etc. You have the opportunity to be as courageous as they were, and you have even better reasons. Development at the cost of your citizens'well-being is not development--it's arrogance... not listening to your electorate. Be courageous. Do the right thing.

We searched for our new home primarily because our home at that time intersected with a street that became overwhelmed with traffic associated with the construction of Highway 169. Irrespective of the dramatic increase in property taxes associated with living in Eden Prairie and the potential for future development nearby as advertised by signage stating"Hartford retail shops coming soon",we found the home of our dreams. Within • the past several months these dreams have slowly been shattering when we discovered the planned development of a 165,000 square foot warehouse store, Costco. We respectfully request your resounding opposition to the development of such blight on our city. Esthetically, a"single-footprint"warehouse building would transition very poorly with the adjacent single family and townhouse developments across the street. Being a severely colorblind individual,I can appreciate the looks that passers-by will give the building...similar to the stares I get when heading off to work in my finest tan and gray color combination,topped off with black shoes. Further,the services and merchandise offered by Costco would simply duplicate similar product offers available to homeowners within a short distance. Clothing, grocery, • gasoline and general merchandise is available within two miles or less. The addition of Costco would simply duplicate offerings by long established retailers. Lastly,and our greatest concern is the congestion that such an establishment would bring. Prairie Center Drive is already a heavily traveled street(as documented by the city back in October of 1999 when counters were placed at the intersection). During general business hours,it is simply impossible to turn left from Prairie Lakes Drive onto Prairie Center Drive. During traffic peaks,traffic will back up between each light, creating almost a"gridlock"of traffic on the road. This will increase multi-fold with Costco, especially in conjunction with the development of Van Maur in the adjacent Eden Prairie Center Mall. Further,by Costco's own admission,they anticipate up to 10 full size "eighteen-wheelers"per day delivering goods between 5 and 10 am. In addition,they anticipate several turnovers of the proposed eight-hundred plus parking lot, adding thousands of vehicles per day'on an already over burdened street. As a property owner and father of two,I am concerned about this increased traffic for many reasons. The excessive traffic imposes threats to our safety,up to and including the potential difficulty of emergency services vehicles to get to the home developments during peak traffic times, general theft and crime associated with excessive traffic flow and unbearable noise pollution. Please join with the homeowners in the vacinity of Prairie Lakes Drive and oppose the development of Costco. I am convinced that,in addition to the above concerns,Eden Prairie can do better.

We urge you to, turn down this request for the following reasons: I. The traffic count now is very high and with the enlargement of Eden Prairie Center, no one will be able to use the road if Costco Warehouse is allowed in. II. As a retailer and wholesaler over fifty years, I know this firm is not civic minded like Target and so many other ,stores. We certainly don' t need another "Big Box" in Eden Prairie. • III. It will never blend in with the neighborhood, so I suggest Ryan attempt to develop this land so that it compliments the neighborhood. I also think you should ppssibly look at this as if you were a resident on Prairie Lakes Drive. There are so many reasons why this isn' t a good development and we just hope you will look at it that way and turn down this request.

Thank you. Honorable Mayor and Council Members, When I moved into Weston Woods as its first homeowner in 1996, I Was aware that the property at Prairie Center and Prairie Lakes Drives was zoned for a"shopping center"and anticipated such development. The current plan for a large Costco warehouse store is inconsistent,with such a proposal. The current plan which routes all entry and egress to Costco on Prairie Lakes Drive is a gross intrusion to those of us with residences in this area and no other options to travel from our homes. Further,the intense rush hour traffic at this location already demands added lanes and traffic signals on Prairie Center Drive and at that inter-section. Homeowners in this area sincerely hope the Council, in its wisdom,will recognize the limitations of this property for high volume traffic on these busy streets and ask Costco and similar large single-box operations to seek alternative locations. Thank you for your consideration.

"Hartford Place Shopping Center coming soon"is still what the sign says. What we didn't know was that the Hartford Place Shopping Center might someday be a 148,500-square-foot warehouse store and tire center located less than half a mile from our single family subdivision and across the streetfrom townhouses. We assumed that the Hartford Place Shopping Center would be small retail.establishments to complement other retail businesses surrounding Eden Prairie Center. One of us attended the informational meeting at Eden Prairie Center last spring concerning its remodeling. It was stated that they hope the newly expanded and renovated Eden Prairie Center will become a gathering place and center of the Eden Prairie community with a four-season porch that opens onto a patio and lots of open spaces. In the Eden Prairie Center Renovation Newsletter Bill Moston, Vice President of Development for General Growth Properties, says, "From the Prairie-style architecture to the four-season porch to the rich wooden handrails and decorative lighting,this mall will have a look and feel that places it in Eden Prairie, Minnesota." Plans call for the exterior of the Entertainment Wing to create the sense of a downtown main street. How does a warehouse store directly across the street fit with this scenario? Wouldn't small retailers or, perhaps, senior housing where residents who no longer drive could walk across the street to shop contribute to that sense of community more than a warehouse store? Large warehouse type establishments should be clustered in areas away from residential concentrations such as where the Home Depot was built and away from the center of our community. Other considerations such as the traffic created by such a large store are also of great concern to us. The Sanctuary resident who was quoted in the August 10, 2000, Eden Prairie News did not reflect our feeling that we are"resigned Costco will be approved for the site." We have more faith in our city officials and hope that you will rethink the best use of this land. In doing so,we're confident that future generations and we will all benefit from your long-range foresight.

I feel that this is a very inappropiate use of this parcel of land. The traffic in and out of here is terrible the way it is and why have something like this in with our homes? A small strip mall with services would be a much better mix. From what I have heard on other areas where this is a Costco it promotes lots of traffic. We do have plenty of gas stations and good grocery stores plus Target and Walmart all within a short distance. I would hope nothing would be done to hurt these businesses. Please take into consideration the voices of the people living in this area. Thank you.

My name is Michael Perpich, I live at 8477 Crane Dance Trail. I am writing to let you know that I am opposed to the proposed Costco Development for three reasons. First the traffic issue. At 7:30 in the morning I can barely make a right hand turn from Prairie Lakes Drive onto Prairie Center Drive, this will only get worse. Secondly,this Costco store will be in competition with the Eden Prairie Mall. After all the improvements General Growth has put into the Mall Costco's traffic will make it easier to stay away from the mall. Finally,the Costco with a gas station and the potential of a gas spill into Anderson Lake. It will be only a matter of time before a spill occurs and the gas finds its way into the aquifer and into Anderson Lake. In conclusion, I hope the city leadership will say NO to the proposed development.

Costco is a retail establishment and its operation is consistent with the purpose and requirements of Section 11.25 C-Commercial Districts. On the average, 90% of Costco's sales are direct retail sales to the consumer, both traditional retail shoppers and small businesses for their own use. The remaining 10% are sales to others for potential resale to consumers. • What are the receiving hours? The projected receiving hours for the Eden Prairie facility are 5:30 a.m. to noon, Monday through Saturday. Depending on store location and community regulations/restrictions, actual receiving hours may be slightly different at other locations. A photograph presented during public discussion indicated receiving hours at the Niles, IL location were posted as 4:00 a.m. — noon. These delivery hours comply with the ordinances and agreements governing the development at this particular Iocation. ■ Are semi-trailers left for extended times or overnight? Semi-trailers are not left in the loading clock area for extended periods nor are they typically • left overnight. However, there may be certain limited occasions when a trailer arrives after receiving hours and is parked in the loading dock berth until it can be unloaded the following morning. These trailers are depot trailers (Costco owned) and contain dry goods that do not require refrigeration. For security and efficiency reasons, the after hour parking of trailers within the loading dock area is discouraged by Costco. Page tof 6 09/20/2000.14:55 FAX 8472729P-1 THOMPSON DYKE & ASSOC. _ 11003 • • How does Costco dispose of expired, bad or recalled food and dairy items? Expired and bad food items are destroyed on site and properly disposed of in a sealed, self- contained trash compactor. Access to the compactor is from a secured access door located in the inside of the store adjacent to the receiving area. The compactor storage container is picked up and replaced by a vendor every 5-7 days. • Recalled food items are quarantined, shrink-wrapped and isolated from other products until they are returned to the original supplier/vendor per specific instructions. • ▪ Are tires stored out in the open? No. New tires are displayed and stored only within the tire sales area within the tire center. Used tires are stored behind an interior wall within the tire installation area. The used tires • are stored until a vendor picks them up for recycling which occurs approximately once a week. A photograph presented during public discussion showed new tires stacked within a tire installation bay. The photo taken at the Niles, IL facility depicted tire loading activities and not normal tire storage. It was taken shortly after a vendor delivered the new tires and before the tires'were moved to the tire sales area. • Are shopping carts stored in cart corrals within parking lots? During the business day, members place the carts into the cart corrals after unloading their merchandise into their vehicles. Throughout the day a Costco employee collects the carts from the various parking lot cart corrals and returns them to an inventory adjacent to the building entrance for the convenience of its shoppers. After business hours, all carts are stored within the interior of the vestibule of the building. A photograph presented during the public presentation depicted carts stored within a cart corral at the Niles, IL facility. These carts were being stored outside for an extended period of time awaiting delivery to a Costco store about to be opened. In anticipation of new stores opening within a few months of each other, Costco purchased additional carts and stored them at the Niles location until the new warehouse opened. Outside storage is permitted in the Village of Niles and this • action complied with the requirements of the Village. At the Eden Prairie location, Costco does not intend to store carts outside in corrals when the facility is closed. • Is off-sale liquor planned? No. The Costco application does not contain a request for modification of Eden Prairie's current liquor regulations. Presently, all off-sale liquor sales within the community are sold at facilities owned and operated by the municipality. Page 2nf 6 09/20/2000 14:59 FAX 8472729P", THOMPSON DYKE & ASSOC. — Ij004 ■ Costco will have a negative impact on other retailers. Costco's experience is just the opposite. In fact, other retailers experience a positive impact on their overall sales. Costco helps other retail and service businesses by creating a reason for residents to do their shopping in Eden Prairie Center rather than in another community. We are unaware of any other retailer or wholesale club operation within the Eden Prairie trade area that serves this particular retail segment. A typical Costco carries between 3,500 and 3,700 items. A typical grocery store carries approximately 45,000 items; a department store such as Target or Walmart carries around 60,000 items. Accordingly, Costco does not cannibalize other retailers to any significant degree. Indeed, as many a Chamber of Commerce has learned, Costco customers, who tend to have a high level of disposable income, invariably cross-shop with other retailers while in the general shopping district thereby increasing the sales of all retailers. The following responses are related to traffic. questions raised by the public at the CPB meeting: • What was the Land Use Code used? Land Use Code 861 —Discount Club, source: Trip Generation, 6th Edition, 1997, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). • What were the trips per indicated measures used in this analysis for the store? Daily weekday trips—41.80 trips/1000 square feet Gross Floor Area P.M. Peak Hour of Adjacent Street Traffic (one hour between 4 and 6 p.m.): 3.80 trips/1000 square feet Gross Floor Area • How many studies do these numbers include? • Daily rate is based on 19 studies conducted by ITE organization members P.M. peak hour rate is based on 22 studies conducted by ITE organization members Page 3of 6 09/20/2000 15:03 FAX 8472729r" THOMPSON DYKE & ASSOC. -- r¢]005 • What time length are daily total trips based upon for both the store and the fuel facility? The daily total trips are based on the projected operating hours of the facility, which are as follows: Store (Receiving hours) 5:30 a.m.—noon Monday thru Saturday Store (Member hours) • 10:00 a.m.—8:30 p.m. Weekdays 9:30 a.m. —6:00 p.m. Saturday 10:00 a.m. —6:00 p.m. Sundays Fueling Facility 6:00 a.m.—9:00 p.m. Weekdays 6:00 a.m.—7:00 p.m. Weekends • 'What are the minimum volumes for meeting the Peak Hours Signal Warrant? Peak Hours Signal Warrant is based on a combination of major street and minor street volume levels; see attached graph. • Why is the Level of Service worse in the A.M. peak hour ("B") and better in the P.M. peak hour ("A")? Level of Service is based on an estimate of total intersection delay. That estimate is derived from critical movement conflicts; there is not a simple, direct correlation to the total volume of vehicles entering the intersection and the total delay. Also note that in the case of Prairie Center Drive and Prairie Lakes Drive, the estimated delay for A.M.peak hour and P.M. peak hour are very similar (11.5 seconds per vehicle in the A.M., 8.9 seconds per vehicle in the P.M.). 10.0 seconds is the dividing line between level of service A and B. • Yale 4of 6 09/20/2000. 15:05 FAX 84727299- THOMPSON DYKE & ASSOC. - 1 006 ■ What are the signal times for: • Turning left onto Prairie Lakes Drive from Prairie Center Drive? • Going north (towards 494) on Prairie Center Drive? • Turning left from Prairie Lakes Drive onto Prairie Center Drive? The overall signal cycle length will vary from approximately 70 to 110 seconds during different times of the day. The timings for the individual movements will vary within these cycle lengths based on the cycle by cycle traffic volume demands for each movement. ■ Can a modeling simulation be provided to show traffic flow based upon • Average flow of 16 trips per minute? ■ 2x average flow of 32 trips per minute? ■ 3x average flow of 48 trips per minute? • 4x average flow of 64 trips per minute? It is unclear what the rates refer to or how they were derived. However, it is noted that the Prairie Center Drive/Prairie Lakes Drive intersection is projected to have level of service B (A.M. peak hours) and A (P.M. peak hour) operations Costco in operation. With a signal in place, this will not be a congested intersection; there will be a substantial amount of available roadway capacity. Costco traffic comprises about 2% of the total A.M. peak hour and 19% of the total P.M. peak hour traffic at the intersection. Although Costco believes its traffic projections are accurate, even if Costco generates more traffic than presently anticipated, the intersection can readily accommodate the increased volumes. • • Page Sof 6 09/20/2000-15:08 FAX 8472729P-- THOMPSON DYKE & ASSOC. r a1007 z MINOR STREET • • o HIGH VOLUME APPROACH -- VPH ITi N 03 - .A C31 •03 • • = moo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 mp � y co 0 = � p -rt _ .

According to the complaint, consumers learned they were ineligible for the rebates only after purchasing the product and tearing off the rebate label from the packaging. The suit was filed in Washington's King County Superior Court by Kim D. Stephens,a partner of Seattle-based Tousley Brain PLLC, along with Robert G. Eisler of Lieff, Cabraser,Heimann& Bernstein, LLP of New York and San Francisco and David Landry of Nemier,Tolari, Landry, Maz7eo &Johnson, PC of Farmington Hills, Michigan. "At first glance,this might seem to be a small issue,but Costco sells million of products every day, including the products in question," said Kim Stephens. "We contend that the company knew full well about the expired rebates. For some people who were counting on a rebate of as much as 25 percent of the purchase price,this is a big issue. Besides,it is fundamentally unfair for Costco to profit from what we believe is deceptive advertising." The suit asserts that the Costco stores in Delray Beach and Pompano Beach,Florida sold several items,including Tylenol pain relief medicine with expired$1.50 mail-in rebate coupons.The suit also contends that Costco knowingly sold similar products throughout the country with expired rebate offers.

Warehouse in South Seattle with so many gifts for their company Personal Tech Ipicnic that they needed a six-wheel metal flatbed cart to carry everything out. The $1,000 they spent on a Toshiba color television, Fantom Thunder vacuum cleaner, Coleman lantern, Gargoyles sunglasses and other prizes was only the start of their buying spree. They were to return in a few days to spend $800 more on food and drinks for Totem Ocean Trailer Express's annual employee get- together. "We can come with a truck and load it up," said Martin, Totem's vice president for human resources. People who shop at Costco are accustomed to buying big. They're also accustomed to finding brand-name goods at low prices, a key to the Issaquah-based chain's success and a source of complaints from some manufacturers who object to their goods being sold in Costco's stripped-down warehouses. In just 14 years, Costco has become the 49th-largest company in the United States,the country's seventh-largest retailer and the state's second-largest sales leader, behind Boeing. "I told Phil Condit(Boeing CEO)I was so aggravated with him," Costco Chairman Jeffrey Brotman said,recalling an encounter with the Boeing chairman at a meeting of business leaders in February. "We were going to catch him next year, and he went and bought McDonnell Douglas!" http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/htm197/cost 072097.html 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today'c-'Tews: Costco:the empire built on barga=-- Page 2 of 9 Should Costco eclipse the aerospace behemoth,it will do so by selling industrial-sized packages of toilet paper,huge boxes of Cheerios,giant bottles of olive oil,tires and Calvin Klein jeans. Costco's$19.6 billion in sales last year trailed Boeing's$22.7 billion and outpaced Microsoft's$8.7 billion($11.4 billion this year)and Nordstrom's$4.5 billion, according to the Fortune 500 survey of the largest companies in the United States. With 26 million card-carrying members in North America who pay a basic$30 to $35 annual fee to shop at Costco,the company that began in a former ship's chandlery in the industrial flats of South Seattle sells to about one in every 11 people in the United States and Canada. Customers walk away with deals on everything from lawn mowers to potted plants, and Costco walks away with big profits as well: While it makes only about 1.3 cents of profit on every dollar's worth of merchandise sold,that added up to $249 million last year. With nearly 55,000 employees, Costco has 252 warehouses stretching from here to Miami and from coast to coast in Canada, and 20 more locations in Mexico, Taiwan, South Korea,England and Scotland. It has 1 million international cardholders. Behind the chain's phenomenal growth is a tale tinged with international intrigue,courtroom drama and bare-knuckled competition among the nation's top retailers. To admirers, Costco is a whip-smart merchant whose mission to push costs and prices down ranks among the milestones of 20th century retailing-along with the start-up of the department store and the development of the suburban shopping mall Detractors, however, say Costco and other warehouse clubs like it use an elaborate network of middlemen to get hold of department- store-type merchandise that manufacturers and the full-price retailers don't want sold in downscale warehouses. Some manufacturers have accused Costco of conspiring with foreign middlemen to divert expensive bicycles,jeans and other goods meant to open up new overseas markets in places such as Russia and Poland,into Costco warehouses, a claim the company labels as ludicrous. "Why is it that sometimes these goods go offshore at half the price that they are sold in the United States?We're not entitled to get those goods?The American consumer is not entitled to that stuff? I think so.I think so,"says Jim Sinegal, Costco president and chief http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/htm197/cost 072097.html 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today'News: Costco:the empire built on barge'-s Page 3 of 9 executive officer. What defines Costco is value, said Sinegal- offering the highest- quality goods at the lowest-possible prices.And it will use mass buying, operational efficiencies and hard-nosed bargaining to get those prices, company officials said. To understand Costco, it helps to know what it is not. It is not Nordstrom. There is no piano player in the lobby or phalanx of helpful salespeople. There are no dressing rooms,nice carpets or attractive furnishings. Many people have never heard of Costco because it doesn't advertise. The warehouses can be as large as 135,000 square feet- almost 2 1/2 football fields- and with parking can cover up to 15.acres. Inside,there are the computers, stereos and power tools, trampolines, books,baked goods, fresh meat and produce, much of it sold in sizes that restaurants, gift shops and very large, hungry or thrifty families might want. The floors are concrete- easier to clean-and everywhere are pallets of television sets, dishwashing detergent, disposable diapers and canned goods, which have been hoisted directly onto steel racks by forklifts: Less handling means lower labor costs. Catering to business owners and families, Costco averages $80 million a year in sales per warehouse, almost double that of competitor Sam's Club, a division of Wal-Mart with about 440 locations, including two in the Seattle area. Despite its huge sales volume, Costco's no-frills image has hurt its chance to buy from some well-known manufacturers who refuse to sell to the retailer. "Bongo has spent tens of millions of dollars over the past five years advertising and promoting Bongo goods in order to create and maintain a high-quality and prestigious image. . . ." Michael Caruso & Co., the California-based manufacturer of Bongo clothing for women, said in a suit pending against Costco in Los Angeles Superior Court. "The warehouse style of discount stores maintained by Price-Costco (Costco's name until earlier this year) is inimical to the kind of stores Bongo sells Bongo goods to. . . ." The attorneys for Wisconsin-based Trek Bicycles were even blunter: "Costco is a retailer out to make a quick buck without any investment in providing quality or safety to the consumer," they said in a 1994 suit. As a measure of what is at stake, Trek's attorney,David Brezina of Chicago, said the 1,500 mountain byes Costco got hold of that http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/html97/cost 072097.htm1 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today''News: Costco:the empire built on barga s Page 4 of 9 year,meant for sale in India,represented only"three or four thousandths of 1 percent" of Costco's annual sales,but,he said, the damage to Trek's reputation from having the bikes sold without Trek being able to control the quality of assembly and service was incalculable. Costco sold the bikes for about$680, some$220 less than authorized dealers were asking. Costco's attorney in the case, Warren Rheaume of Seattle, countered that the bikes were professionally assembled according to the same instructions Trek's authorized dealers use. Costco got the bikes through a legitimate vendor, not the company Trek asserted diverted the shipment from India. Costco declined to identify its vendor, saying it was concerned of potential retaliation against the vendor by Trek. The legal issues are so immense that the question of when a company holding a copyright ceases to be able to control the sale of its product is now before the United States Supreme Court. The suit involves a different set of companies,but Costco has joined a friend-of-the-court brief in support of a clause in U.S. copyright law that Costco says upholds a retailer's right to freely purchase and resell goods once a copyright owner has sold the goods for the first time. In the 1994 Trek case,U.S. District Court Judge Walter McGovern denied Trek's request for a temporary restraining order against Costco, saying he had "some serious doubt" as to whether Trek would succeed at trial on the merits of its claim Still,Brezina said the whole diversion picture "stinks." "They are taking a(free)ride on Trek's advertising and they are doing it in an underhanded way,"he said. "They are sneaking around. Who are they kidding?"O Costco has been sued for everything from alleged interference with contracts between manufacturers and their dealers to selling counterfeit goods. Costco's corporate counsel, Patrick Callans, said Calvin Klein twice sued Costco last year for allegedly selling poorly made Calvin Klein jeans and counterfeit Calvin Klein T- shirts. Costco representatives went around to the country's top department stores and found the same jeans made in Mexico that Calvin Klein had said were not intended for sale in the U.S. and the same T-shirts that Calvin Klein asserted were counterfeit when sold in Costco warehouses. Legal action against Costco halted, said Callans. http://seatfiletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/html97/cost 072097.html 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today's News: Costco:the empire built on bargains Page 5 of 9 • "We don't have any interest in selling counterfeit goods. Our interests are aligned with the manufacturers'. We don't want to sell counterfeit goods because it's illegal.It also fits in with Jim's (Sinegal's)philosophy that you provide the best quality merchandise at the best possible price. Counterfeit goods don't fit into that philosophy," Calms said. Among the cases still pending is the lawsuit filed earlier this year by Michael Caruso,the designer of Bongo women's wear. Caruso's attorney, Mark Brutzkus of Encino, Calif., alleged Costco diverted Bongo jeans intended for sale in Russia, Poland and Argentina to its U.S. warehouses, using "layers of middlemen between itself and Bongo, in an attempt to insulate itself from the wrongful means which it utilized, instigated and directed to unlawfully obtain the Bongo goods." Costco's wrongful sale of Bongo goods will cause Bongo "great and irreparable harm,"he said. Costco attorney Norman Levine of Los Angeles said there was "a complete absence of evidence" in Bongo's case that Costco participated in any conspiracy. Brotman puts it emphatically. "We will never do anything illegal. Period.End of story." Costco executives said some manufacturers actually want their goods to be sold through Costco,though they won't say so publicly. A department store might even sell Costco some excess goods: it gets paid for the goods,plus picks up a commission from Costco for selling, said Brotman. Some Costco goods might have different model numbers than merchandise sold in department stores.A company executive said manufacturers sometimes produce special models for Costco with more features, or assign different model numbers to distinguish the goods from those sold to competitors. Costco officials say the company's merchandise is the same as or better than goods sold in department stores. Brotman recalled meeting the president of a company that manufactures rubber shoes. The president was angry that Costco had obtained his product. "He said I was disturbing his distribution," Brotman said. But Brotman pointed out to the president that Costco accounted for half the manufacturer's sales. "Nobody was really selling his product. They were just diverting it to us," said Brotman After Brotman pointed that out,the manufacturer began selling directly http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/html97/cost 072097.html 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today's News: Costco:the empire built on bargains Page 6 of 9 to Costco,he said. Big volume, low price For all the global maneuvering the lawsuits suggest,most of what Costco does can be seen unfolding in the lobby of its Issaquah headquarters, where manufacturers and their representatives gather each day. On a recent morning, Jeffrey Meek and several colleagues were busily assembling a collection of outdoor furniture they were hoping Costco would agree to carry. Meek had flown in from Rhode Island,where he is president of Rustic Natural Cedar Furniture. A sale could mean keeping his manufacturing plant running year around. "We'd never done that kind of big-customer sale," Meek said of the hour-and-l0-minute presentation to Costco buyer Deanne Witt. No question was too small. Witt wanted to know if Meek's company could package its swing set in one box instead of two. She wanted to know how quality differed between his product and a competitor's. She asked if the company could make its bench more curved for leg comfort. It may be months before Witt completes her review and Rustic knows whether it has a deal with Costco. But the payoff could be immense. When Costco places an order, its numbers can be staggering. For popular items like trousers or shirts, it doesn't bat an eye ordering 500,000 pieces at a time. Judy Mullins and Mary Gustaf 1 co-owners of Auburn-based Brass Key, a designer and manufacturer of collectible dolls, recently received an order from Costco for 197,000 of their 16-inch porcelain dolls. Costco will sell the dolls for $17.99. Brass Key is making a similar doll for a national catalog company that will sell them for around$60 each. The difference?The catalog company ordered only 10,000 pieces. Unlike some stores that carry 80,000, 90,000 or 100,000 different items in all sizes, colors and brands, Costco keeps its inventory to 3,600 to 4,000 different items. "Because we can only buy one or two items in a particular category, it is pretty simple," said Cynthia Glaser, a Costco assistant vice president. "We figure out what the top-of-the-line http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/htm197/cost 072097.hiii 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today's-News: Costco:the empire built on barga=^c Page 7 of 9 product is. Then we work from the bottom up in cost and see how close we can come to what the macs merchants can sell a much lower-end product for." Take basketballs. Costco carries only one style of basketball, Spalding's NBA synthetic leather model.'It sells it for$13.99, about half of what the ball sells for at some other stores. Costco decided on the Spalding ball after cutting it open, measuring the thickness of its outside skin,measuring the depth of its pebbles and testing the strength of the butyl bladder inside, said Doug Schutt, Costco senior vice president and a former buyer for Wilson Sporting Goods. Costco will switch brands, depending on the price it can.get at any particular time. "People might come in one time and see we have Chicken of the Sea tuna," said Sinegal. "They might come in the next time and it is Starkist tuna.It's always an acceptable brand, but we are picking the best value that is available in the marketplace." If Costco cannot find a brand-name product it can sell at a low enough price, it will seek out manufacturers to make its own private-label goods,under the name Kirkland Signature, for the Eastside city where Costco used to be headquartered. Merger with Price Club When Brotman and Sinegal co-founded Costco in 1983,they had in mind the so-called hypermarkets Brotman had seen in Europe- stores that sold huge volumes of food and other merchandise- and the pioneering Price Club warehouses founded by Sol Price in 1976 in San Diego. Sinegal had been an executive with Price. "I was very sure on one thing,that the retail environment in the Northwest was completely noncompetitive," said Brotman. "I was absolutely certain that anybody who came into this market and offered high-quality products at low, good values would succeed.". But competition heightened as the warehouse concept caught on. In 1983,Wal-Mart opened its first Sam's Club warehouse in Midwest City, Okla.. By the early 1990s,Price and Costco each were about half the size of Sam's. "In terms of size and buying power,there was a motivation to improve our purchasing power to better compete," said Richard Galanti, Costco's chief financial officer. The two companies merged in 1993,but it took a couple of years to smooth operations. Costco,which dropped Price from its name http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/htm197/cost 072097.html 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today's News:Costco:the empire built on bargains Page 8 of 9 earlier this year, saw its stock drop to $12.25 in early 1995.It now is trading in the$33 range. In some ways Costco is a far cry from the dimly lit warehouse where it began on Fourth Avenue South in Seattle,with its lone hot-dog stand out front. Costco has added food courts,pharmacies,optical departments and photo processing.It has a mail-order business. It offers health- care plans and home insurance. It has a car-buying program for its members. Its international division is looking to expand to Singapore,Malaysia,Japan and perhaps China. It has a pilot family sports center, SportsNation, in Tualatin, Ore.,outside of Portland. It has opened its own gas stations and experimented with offering discount real-estate brokerage services to its members iu Arizona. Membership requirements are broad. To qualify for a business membership,applicants must own their own business or manage a nonprofit or government agency. Individual memberships are available to current or retired employees of schools, financial institutions, government agencies,approved corporations,and transportation and health care providers;and to members of licensed professions, credit unions and various associations. The company focuses on serving small businesses, employer groups and their employees, said Ginnie Roeglin, Costco vice president of marketing. Membership fees help offset operating expenses and keep prices down. The membership qualifications and fees give customers a sense of ownership in Costco,she said. As Costco grows, some things are unlikely to change, such as its obsession with lower costs. Don't expect Costco to adopt a tonier format any time soon. While its warehouse facades are a little nicer,to fit into local retail corridors, "We keep the insidesof them pretty plain," Sinegal said. Sinegal doesn't expect Costco to replace Nordstrom for the service it provides or local department stores and supermarkets for the variety of products they offer. Costco still faces tough competition not only from Sam's Club but also from other big chains,he said. Does Sinegal ever have nightmares about Costco warehouses empty?Like other big-box chains when they faced bankruptcy from oversaturation? "No. We think we are well-positioned,"he said. "We don't think we've got that type of problem. . . .I think if we lose sight of what • it is we are trying to do,that could happen.There is no annuity in this business.

Features_ Editorials/Opinion_ by James Vesely The AP wire_ Seattle Times columnist About the site M1 Browseb' date • SATURDAY morning,the people who run Kirkland sat down tr together and tried to figure out what to do next. Search archive Special Reports In a benchmark series of meetings over the past several months, Kirkland has been sorting out its role for the future, a process that Personal Tech j. has absorbed several of the Eastside cities recently. The agenda for Saturdays session of the City Council,planning department and chamber was to ask what Kirkland should do about economic development. The future looks pretty good to everyone outside looking in at Kirkland, where the little city that could has balanced growth and development into a sweet combination of smart waterfront and retail sales receipts. One measure of Kirkland's success is that it's second only to Seattle in the number of people who live and work inside its limits. In Kirkland, 21 percent of the workforce also lives there, a much higher number than most other Eastside communities. As with every other city, Kirkland must accept the trajectory of increased population. King County targets Kirkland with between 29,664 and 31,164 jobs by 2012. At last count in 1994, there were 22,455 jobs there. That's steady growth for another 14 or 15 years if the economy holds. Kirkland also has a nice slice of the retail dollar among Eastside towns: Bothell, Kirkland,Issaquah, Redmond and Woodinville generated sales of$26.1 billion in 1995,more than half in the retail-rich city of Bellevue.But Kirkland generated 15 percent of the total,meaning Bellevue and Kirkland account for about 97 percent of selected Eastside sales. It's almost a fairy-tale story of a community that did many things http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extralbrowse/html97/vese 112497.html 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times, Today-News: James ...:Kirkland shows its ang-' rind looks for solution Page 2 of 3 right over the 75 years of its history,but there are lots of problems looming ahead. Among them is Totem Lake,the asphalt center of the Eastside that generates high traffic and,,to put it bluntly,the kind of image Kirkland finds unattractive. With lots of comparisons to what has been done at Seattle's University Village and Bellevue's Crossroads mall, the hope is that Totem Lake will waken to more pedestrian amenities,parkland and get joined at the hip to mass transit through the new RTA plan. The problem is,University Village and Crossroads have enlightened ownership, which Totem Lake lacks. Kirkland's angst over Totem Lake is the mirror of every Eastside city trying to upgrade itself while the boom is on. • The undercurrent of Eastside planning these days is to go for a balance of software companies, small industry and office space, and that strategy is repeated in town after town. Of all the Eastside economic strategies, only Mercer Island is standing pat with an emphasis on bedroom real estate. The others are all trying to spread growth across retail, office and higher-density developments. Like it or not,they're merging into a seamless whole because of it. Take the issue of selling gasoline at Costco. A mile or so from San Jose airport in the sprawling city-state of California's Bay Area,the lines for Costco gas can stretch for half a block on a Sunday afternoon. Costco sells gasoline at the pump the way it sells everything else: conveniently and cheap. Why not offer that in Kirkland for the thousands of drivers already pulling into Costco? Mayor Debbie Eddy had a response that fits Kirkland's search for what it wants to be. She worried that the local gas stations would be hit hard by Costco gas-pump prices, and she worried about the • impact of even more traffic at that end of town. Kirkland looked at the proposal from Costco and said: Try us later. The Eastside cities all want it both ways. They want highly selected growth without ambiguities. For example, every one of the Eastside local governments favors an increase in the state gas tax. But most would dither about letting Costco put in pumps as a way for consumers to feel the tax bite less. That's because it's not the right kind of growth.In their search for palatable growth,the cities and towns are ironically behaving more and more like each other, each trying to cherry pick the economy. Similar to Bellevue's search for an identity for its downtown and http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/extra/browse/htm197/vese 112497.h1iiil 07/26/2000 The Seattle Times,Today"News:James_..:Kirkland shows its anger"end looks for solution Page 3 of 3 Redmond's search for a central identity with Town Center, Kirkland's head-scratching is deliberately xenophobic:How can we stop becoming like everyone else?How can Kirkland retain its unique quality of life and pay for it with desirable growth? Unsaid is that Kirkland's approach to economic development is similar to the patterns of other Eastside towns:Bring the auto dealers and developers into the process,spread the business base and try to keep the neighborhoods intact. Councilwoman Nona Ganz was tapping the brake pedals a bit when she talked about how Kirkland used to have a few chicken farms spread around town, and that Kirkland's distinct area of Houghton had a pig farm until just 15 years ago. "I'm proud we're not turning into Bellevue," she said(lots of murmurs of agreement around the table),but in fact,it may be too late.

Search Archive Local News Posted at 02:34 a.m.PDT;,May 12,1939 Views clash on future of Kirkland's busy 85th Street • a1 by Peyton Whitely Atm Seattle Times Eastside bureau Proposals for development changes along Kirkland's busiest street,Northeast 85th Street,were presented to a skeptical audience last night as a new neighborhood association held its first full-scale meeting. A city study is considering the corridor's future, looking at such elements as zoning and land-use designations,traffic improvements,new streets,crosswalks,medians, mass transit and retail developments. The study is expected to be completed early next year. While a number of options are being considered for the corridor,the main route between Kirkland and Redmond,a few proposed developments generated the most questions last night at the South Rose Hill/Bridle Trails Neighborhood Association's meeting at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School. About 70 people attended. Association members used city documents to describe the proposals to the audience. Concerns focused on plans for a Costco gas station, an expansion of a Nissan dealership, and a zoning change that would allow an Albertson supermarket on the southwest corner of Northeast 85th and 132nd Avenue Northeast. Applause twice interrupted the discussions,including once when an audience member commented that it seemed the changes would do little but bring more traffic to the area. "Have any of you ever seen a Costco gas station?" asked another audience member. "It's a nightmare." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/local/htm198/rose 19990512.htmi 07/26/2000 Seattle Times:Views clash,.n future of Kirkland's busy 85th Street -- Page 2 of 2 "Why are we doing this?" someone else asked, spurring more applause. Northeast 85th Street carries more than 47,000 vehicles a day. As a comparison,the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge carries about 102,000 vehicles daily. Proposals for the area are to be discussed again tomorrow at a Planning Commission open house at 5:30 p.m. in the Peter Kirk Room at Kirkland City Hall, 123 Fifth Ave. The commission is scheduled to get a briefing on the study beginning at 7:30 p.m. Peyton Whitely's phone message number is 206-464-2259.

A guide plan change from Church to medium density residential is requested. The Community Planning Board held an informational meeting on June 26, 2000, to review the proposed guide plan change from church to medium density residential and three multiple family concept plans for the site. The Board determined that multiple family could be an acceptable use of the property and recommended that the developer pursue either the senior housing plan or the two-story townhouse plan. The Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the guide plan change and 32-unit townhome plan to the City Council at its September 25, 2000 meeting. The Board required that plan should be revised to provide additional right of way along Franlo Road, eliminate the building setback waiver from Franlo Road, and provide more guest parking on the west side of the project. The plans have been revised according to the Community Planning Board recommendation. Background Information If the site was developed consistent with the guide plan, a 18,308 square foot church could be built. • • Townhomes are compatible with the existing neighborhoods and densities. • An appropriate transition is provided to existing neighborhoods to the west and the south. • Franlo Road and Pioneer Trail can accommodate the traffic.

The public hearing opened at 7:23 p.m. Paul Korberg of Hustad companies said they presented three options in June and were directed by the Board that townhomes or senior housing were acceptable uses for this site. Brian Cluts,representing Hustad Land Company,presented the townhome plan that had been reduced in density from 35 to 32. There is a 40 foot setback with a double row of evergreen plantings on the south side;40 foot setback with a mix of deciduous and evergreens on the west side. The plan was reviewed with the city engineer and the entrances were moved.Building mass was reduced to three single end units. 9 COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 4 Franzen said at an informational meeting June 26,2000 the Community Planning Board reviewed three multiple family concept plans for this site.The Board indicated the senior housing plan or townhouse plans would be the preferred uses for the site provided there was an appropriate transition to existing development. • There is a guide plan change from church to medium density residential.Reasons to consider the guide plan change are townhomes are compatible with the existing neighborhoods and densities and an appropriate transition is provided to existing neighborhoods to the west and the south.Along Franlo,the transition is a combination of berming and landscaping,on the south side it is all conifers. Staff recommends approval.There is a request from the developer to vacate the right of way.At least one unit would be impacted if none was vacated.A number of units would be subject to final recommendation of city staff regarding the•right of way. Alice McCuen, 10542 Sherwin Drive, said she was concerned with water main • change and maintaining their current water pressure, storm sewer drainage and with traffic coming off Sherwin and trying to turn onto Franlo. Gray said there have been no problems with the city's water distribution system in that area. This plan calls for a pond that will store stormwater.This project will connect with a Hennepin County upgrade.While this will add some movements across from Sherwin,it will not be a large volume. The intersection should operate well. Motion by Foote second by Koenig to close the public hearing. The public hearing closed at 7:35 p.m. Nelson said the original suggestion was a decrease in density from 35 to 29 and this plan was 32. Franzen said the 29 unit plan was based on the original site plan with a different layout of buildings and based on that plan,six units should be removed to meet the 40 foot setback. The reason for the reduction was to meet a 40 foot setback to the west and east,not a question of density. Nelson asked about the price range. Cluts said he was unsure at this point. Foote said the densities on the two sides were comparable. Franzen said 4.5 to 5.8 units per acre and this is 5.53. Ja COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 5 Stoelting asked about the staff report addressing the right of way vacation and how many units it could impact. Cluts showed the portion of land that could impact the two units. One of the units would have to be removed if it could not be addressed. Stoelting asked about the upgrade and expansion of Pioneer Trail. Gray said the upgrade is beginning now; in this area it would be nearly complete by summer 2001. Stoelting asked about the landscaping relocation and whether it related to the right of way. Franzen said yes. Stock asked about the height of the buildings. • Cluts said they were two story structures similar to surrounding properties at Franzen said height was measured to the midpoint and it was 30 feet. Koenig said it looked like they were losing all the significant trees. Cluts said the tree count was done before construction began on Pioneer Trail. They are replacing trees beyond the requirements of the ordinance. Koenig asked about the type of deciduous trees Cluts said Ash,Linden,Red Maple,Hackberry, and Sugar Maple would be some. Koenig asked whether they would remove much tree mass. Cluts said under 12 inches. They are mostly gone now because of road construction. Nelson said there was only visitor parking along Pioneer Trail, so a number of buildings have no nearby visitor parking. Cars may park on Franlo and cause traffic problems. Cluts said each unit has a two car parking space in front of their garage.The space provided exceeds the city's recommendation. Nelson asked about the 11-unit building; it seems like it does not blend in. Stock asked staff to address housing goals. 11 COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25,2000 PAGE 6 Franzen this project is not an affordable project nor is it the type of design geared toward seniors.This does provide a product for those in single family homes to transition to smaller homes.It fits in with the character of the area.He said they looked at providing guest parking adjacent to Franlo; this would encroach into the 40 foot buffer zone and that is the reason for the parking closer to Pioneer Trail. Nelson said she still had concerns regarding density and parking. She would like to continue it. There should be less units and parking should be added along Franlo,perhaps making the 11 unit a 9 unit and adding green space. Foote asked where the nearest park was located. Fox said there would be a sidewalk connection to Franlo park 4 blocks away. Foote said he agreed with Nelson that there should be more parking: • Koenig asked staff to address the parking. Franzen agreed that the issue was not the total parking spaces but the location. They would work with the architect to revise the plan to provide more guest parking closer to Franlo Road. Motion by Clinton second by Stoelting to recommend approval of the request by Hustad Land Company for Guide Plan Change from Church to Medium Density Residential on 5.8 acres,Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.78 • acres,Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 5.78 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 5.78 acres, Site Plan review on 5.78 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 5.78 acres,based on plans dated September 6, 2000 and subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated September 22, • 20000 to the City Council subject to a minor change in the site plan to meet the required 30 foot setback from Franlo Road and subject to staff working with the developer to establish additional guest parking along Franlo.

STAFF REPORT TO: Community Planning Board FROM: Michael D.Franzen, City Planner DATE: September 22,2000 SUBJECT: Bluffs East 17th APPLICANT/ OWNER: Hustad Land Company LOCATION: South of Pioneer Trail at Franlo Road. REQUEST: 1. Guide Plan Change from Church to Medium Density Residential on 5.78 acres 2. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.78 acres 3. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 5.78 acres . 4. Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 5.78 acres 5. Site Plan Review on 5.78 acres 6. Preliminary Plat of 5.78 acres into 33 lots Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th September 22,2000 EXISTING LAND USE The 5.75-acre site is'currently vacant, guided for a church use and zoned rural. In 1978,the City approved 80 quad units at a density of 5.8 units per acre as part of the Prairie East 5th Subdivision to the north. In 1983, the City approved 28 units in four lot clusters at a density of 4.6 units per acre as part of the Bluff Ridge project to the south. In 1983,the City approved single family units at a density of 3.5 units per acre as part of the Bluffs East 1st Subdivision to the west. In 1989, the City approved single family units at a density of 2.5 units per acre as part of the Woodland Ponds Subdivision northeast of the site across Pioneer Trail. At an informational meeting at the June 26,2000,Community Planning Board reviewed three multiple family concept plans for this site. The Board indicated that the senior housing plan or the townhouse plan would be the preferred uses for the site provided there was an appropriate transition to existing development. COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN If the site was developed consistent with the guide plan, it could accommodate an 18,308 square foot church. The Developer is requesting a Guide Plan change to Medium Density residential. Reasons to consider the guide plan change are: • Townhomes are compatible with the existing neighborhoods and densities. • An appropriate transition is provided to existing neighborhoods to the west and the south. PRELIMINARY PLAT A preliminary plat shows the subdivision of 5.78 acres into 33 lots and city right-of-way. All lots meet the required lot sizes in the RM-6.5 zoning district. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT The site plan shows 32 townhome units. These two-story units are clustered into two,three,five,six,and eleven unit buildings. The gross density of the project is 5.53 units per acre. City Code requires 2 spaces per unit with one enclosed. The plan meets this requirement. City policy requires i/a space per unit for guest parking. The project exceeds this policy with 13 guest parking spaces. Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th September 22,2000 The RM-6.5 Zoning District requires a 30 foot front yard setback, a 10 foot side yard setback,and a 20 foot rear yard setback. There is a 40-foot setback from the south and west property lines for 31 of the 32 units to provide a transition to the existing neighborhoods. Franlo Road curves slightly westward just prior to intersecting with Pioneer Trail. Due to this curve, there is a small portion of land remaining within the right-of-way that is larger than a typical boulevard. The Developer is requesting this be vacated and given back to the proposed project. Staff does not recommend vacating this area. Without the vacation of the area,the unit on Lot 1 does not meet the 30-foot front yard setback. Staff recommends the plans be,revised to meet the 30-foot setback. SIGNIFICANT TREES There are 9 significant trees, or 134 total significant diameter inches on the site. The tree loss for the site is 120 diameter inches, or 8 trees, for a total loss of 89%. Total tree replacement is 143 caliper inches. LANDSCAPING • The landscaping required based on building square footage is 242 caliper inches. The landscape plan meets City Code. The total tree replacement and landscaping for the site is 385 caliper inches. The plan meets this requirement. A double row of evergreen trees will be located in the setback area along the south property line while a double row of deciduous and evergreen trees will be located in the.setback area along the west property line to provide a buffer to the existing neighborhoods. The landscaping currently located in the"curved"boulevard area on Franlo Road closest to the intersection should be relocated onto the property. ROADS AND INTERSECTIONS No additional road and intersection improvements are needed to accommodate the traffic from this project. WETLANDS • The low area in the center of the property does not meet the definition of a wetland;therefore,wetland requirements do not apply to this project. DRAINAGE NURP ponds will be used to treat stormwater to city standards onsite. I iS Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th September 22,2000 UTILITIES Sanitary sewer and water is available to the site from Franlo Road. TRAILS AND SIDEWALKS An 8-foot wide bituminous trail will be located on the south side of Pioneer Trail, and a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk along the east side of Franlo Road. ARCHITECTURE The townhome units are two-story. The maximum height of structures for this district is 40 feet. The proposed structures are 30 feet tall. • LIGHTING Lighting should be consistent with City residential street standards. CONCLUSION Medium density housing is appropriate on this site because it is consistent with adjacent project densities and land uses. The road and intersection at Franlo Road and Pioneer Trail can accommodate the traffic. After presentation by the proponent and listening to comments from the neighborhood,the Board should discuss the following questions: • 1. Are there compelling reasons to amend the Comprehensive Guide Plan?Is the density of the project appropriate for the area? 2. Does the proposed plan provide appropriate transition to future adjacent neighborhoods? If not,how should the plan be changed? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Alternative One If the Community Planning Board believes compelling reasons have been provided to justify the change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan,then one option would be to recommend approval of: • Guide Plan Change from Church to Medium Density Residential on 5.78 acres • Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.78 acres • Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 5.78 acres • Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 5.78 acres I' Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th September 22,2000 • Site Plan Review on 5.78 acres • Preliminary Plat of 5.78 acres into 33 lots This is based on plans dated September 6, 2000, Staff Report dated September 22, 2000, and the following conditions: 1. Prior to City Council review,the proponent shall: A. Revise the plans so the structure on Lot 1 meets a 30-foot setback. • B. Relocate the landscaping in the right of way onto the property. C. Provide a lighting plan that meets city street lighting standards. 2. Prior to grading permit issuance,the proponent shall: A. Install erosion control and tree protection fencing at the grading limits of the property for review and approval by the City Engineer and City Forester. B. Submit detailed storm water runoff,utility and erosion control plans for review by the City Engineer and Watershed District. C. Submit a land alteration bond in accordance with City Code. 2. Prior to building permit issuance,the proponent shall: A. Review the building plans with the Fire Marshal. B. Submit a landscaping bond in accordance with City Code. • C. Pay the cash park fee. Alternative Two • If the Community Planning Board does not believe compelling reasons have been provided to justify the change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan,then one option would be to continue the project with direction to provide a better transition to the south and west. • Alternative Three If the Community Planning Board does not believe compelling reasons have been provided to justify the change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan, then one option would be to recommend denial for the following reasons: • • • The project is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. • The project does not provide an adequate transition to the south and west. Staff recommends Alternative One. • COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES June 26,2000 Page 2 Stoelting said there was a discussion of safety related to the design that stated the design was not unsafe for flow-through traffic. - Al Gray, City Engineer, stated that he had commented that within commercial design there are a variety of methods to promote safety with signs,mirrors and speed bumps.

Wally Hustad said he was asking for assistance to revisit the land use on property that they have owned for thirty years.The land is a residual piece which would not fit its original intent in the guide plan for a church site because of its size.He would like to address the question of a use compatible with the area and think it would be a residential use. They have developed three potential uses: 3 story condominiums; a two townhouse type and one apartment. The condominium is three levels,with elevators for each in 24 or 12 unit clusters. There would be about 1,300-1,400 s.f on each unit and 42 units.It meets a part of the market that has not been explored for those who would like a more controlled environment.There would be direct access from the garage to each unit.Each unit has a tandem garage. The price range of these units would be$150,000-$180,000. The second concept is 35,two story,townhomes; similar to Autumn Ridge.They will be similar in design to those approved for 169 and Pioneer Trail,with two car garages. • The.third concept is two forty four unit apartments with underground parking.This is a senior rental project. Foote asked about the'price range for townhomes.Hustad replied that they would start in the$180's. Franzen said the first plan was a representation of how it could develop as a church. 1 COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES June 26,2000 Page 3 He added that the key question for the board is to balance housing goals for the city with compatibility with the neighborhood. Staff considers alternative A or B represent the best balance between housing goals and neighborhood compatibility. Michael Zacher of 10262 Lee Drive said he would be on the south side of whatever is done with that piece of land.He would like the lighting in this development to be a match with the surrounding neighborhood. Judy Alstrup of 10374 Lee Drive said there is quite a bit of traffic flow in the area and asked how much the new road would take out of this piece of land. She expressed concern with the increased density and resulting traffic. Gray said the plan recognizes the right of way. The new right of way line would be where the county road is shown on the plan. Foote asked about the density of twinhomes to the south. Franzen said single family homes are clustered off driveways and then multi-family units off Lee drive are six units per acre. Foote asked if this was similar to A or B as far as density.Franzen said it was. Stock asked about the height of the buildings.Franzen replied they were up to forty feet from ground level to the pitch of the roof for a townhome. Apartments could be forty-five feet. Two story condos are approximately 30 feet to the pitch. Stock said three stories seems like it would be more mass vertically and horizontally and asked what Franzen believed would be most compatible.Franzen said there are three stories off of Sherman Drive and Pioneer Trail. There is a garage under and two stories above and compares to condos. The townhome proposal is comparable to buildings on the north side of Pioneer Trail. Franzen said the senior building had the most open space and with larger setbacks to reduce the visual height of building. • Corneille said any of the above plans would involve a comprehensive guide plan change. Stoelting asked if there is additional land guided for church in the city. Franzen said this is the only church site that is not developed.All churches have required a guide plan change. Brooks said many churches want larger campuses now and it may be more difficult to find a church interested in five acres.He asked whether a senior housing study had been completed. Franzen said in 1995 the senior issues task force spent 18 months studying housing. The study said the city should promote all price ranges and different types. The City has approved one level twin homes and assisted living and senior housing in the last several years to meet the demand. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES June 26,2000 Page 4 Koenig asked about whether there was much availability of rental senior housing in the City and whether staff considered distance of amenities when considering senior housing. Franzen replied that existing senior housing is located near a large number of services, some within walking distance. This site is one mile away from limited neighborhood commercial services at Pioneer Trail and Highway 169.Koenig asked what if the seniors can't drive. Franzen said Rolling Hills was assisted living and those residents could walk. If they need transportation,they can use the bus service Foote said option B provided a better transition; A would work as well.He would like to see fewer units and more two and four unit buildings. Stock said there was a balance with overall goals; for affordable housing none of these fit that. She asked whether there was a need for more condos or townhomes in this price range. Franzen said it was market driven. Affordable housing is at$135,000 or less per unit. To achieve this the density would have to increase to 10-12 units per acre. Stoelting asked whether the wetland impact will lower possible units. Franzen said if the wetland was high quality and should be preserved,they could reduce the number of units and they could be clustered in a different arrangement. Franzen said occasionally a developer and the city will have private consultants with different conclusions;then everyone meets with the watershed district who makes a decision on the type. A six member technical evaluation panel reviews the property and determines whether it is a wetland. They also look at buffer zones and decide which ordinances apply. Clinton said concurred with Foote and there are reasons to change the guide plan. He thought plan B was compatible with the existing neighborhood; C had more intrusive visual impact but also answers the need for senior rental housing. Koenig asked if it is a wetland and protections are put in place could the develpoer could move around by transferring the density from one part of the property to another. Franzen said yes. Stock asked about the exterior building materials. Hustad said it was not certain as yet. Stock said option B blends in the best. Koenig asked about the 48 inch oak on Pioneer Trail being saved in two plans but not in plan B. COMVA4UNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES June 26,2000 Page 5 Hustad said there was no need to remove the tree and it could be present in all of the plans Corneille said he concurred with Foote and Clinton that changing the guide plan in this way would not significantly affect the neighborhoods. Franzen said standard city street lighting will go into the project and will blend with surrounding neighborhoods and if there were dumpsters they would be inside buildings and rolled out. - Foote said he was not against senior housing.He said even though there is a need they should not just put it anywhere.This is too far away from market center.He would rather see option b in this place. • • V. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. IDLEVIEW OFFICE PARK by 78m Street Properties, LLC.Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Reiew on 1.21 acres,Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers in the Office Zoning District on 1.21 acres, and Site Plan Review on 1.21 acres. Location:North of Eden Road on Lake Idlewild. Corneille opened the public hearing at 8:56 p.m. Franzen said this piece of property was zoned for office in a 1986 plan and approved for a 2-story office building with a 30 foot setback from the lake.All existing structures have been granted waivers of the shoreline ordinance. If the city applied the ordinance there would be no room for building on the property. Darren Lazon of Landform Engineering representing the 78th street property said the situation was similar to Fuddruckers with the setback from street. It is a - straightforward application and the waivers proposed are in line with other parcels;this continues the trail system and retaining wall. Franzen said granting the waiver will allow property to develop consistent with the existing buildings. Stoelting asked about the square footage. Franzen said it is 13,260 square feet. Stoelting asked about the height. Franzen said it was 44 feet. STAFF REPORT TO: Community Planning Board FROM: Michael D. Franzen, City Planner Krista R.Flemming,Planner I DATE: June 23,2000 • SUBJECT: Bluffs East 17th Informational Meeting APPLICANT/ FEE OWNERS: Hustad Land Company LOCATION: South of Pioneer Trail at Franlo Road • • Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th Informational Meeting June 23,2000 BACKGROUND The purpose of the informational meeting is for: 1. Hustad Land Company to present three multiple family concept plans. 2. Hustad Land Company, the Community Planning Board, and staff to hear comments from area residents on the proposal. 3. Identifying development issues for Hustad Land Company and staff to address in detailed plans prior to returning to the Community Planning Board for a public hearing on the development proposal. 4. The Community Planning Board to give general direction on the proposed uses of the property. EXISTING LAND USE The 5.75-acre site is currently vacant, guided for a church use and zoned rural. Scheme D shows how the site could be developed consistent with the guide plan. The concept plan shows an 18,308 square foot church. Since the proposed used is different from the surrounding area, a transition is required by City Code. In order to provide the transition the plan should be revised so that the building is at a 75- foot setback from Franlo Road. Parking should be a 50-foot setback from the west and south • property lines. A 4-5 foot high berm with plantings is needed along Franlo Road and the south property line.to screen parking. These plan revisions will reduce the number of seats in the sanctuary but may not necessarily reduce the size of the building. The increased setbacks will reduce parking. Church'parking requirements are one space for every three seats in the sanctuary. DEVELOPMENT REQUEST The Hustad Land Company proposes three multiple family concept plans for this site: Scheme A: This is a plan for 42 condominiums. The plan shows three-twelve unit buildings and 'one-six unit building. All buildings are three stories. The proposed density is 7.3 units per acre. Scheme B: This is a plan for 35 townhomes. The plan shows a mixture of three, four, five, six and seven unit buildings. All buildings are two stories. The proposed density is 6.06 units per acre. Scheme C: This is a plan for 84 senior units. The plan shows two, 42 unit buildings. Both buildings are three stories. The proposed density is 14.53 units per acre. When the project proceeds to a public hearing,the following actions will be requested: Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th Informational Meeting June 23,2000 • Comprehensive Guide Plan Change • Planned Unit Development Concept Review • Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers • Zoning District Change • Site Plan Review • Preliminary Plat PRIOR CITY APPROVALS AFFECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SITE In 1978, the City approved 80 quad units at a density of 5.8 units per acre as part of the Prairie East 5th Subdivision to the north. In 1983,the City approved 28 units in four lot clusters at a density of 4.6 units per acre as part of the Bluff Ridge project to the south. In 1983, the City approved single family units at a density of 3.5 units per acre as part of the Bluffs East 1st Subdivision to the west. In 1989, the City approved single family units at a density of 2.5 units per acre as part of the Woodland Ponds Subdivision northeast of the site across Pioneer Trail. HOUSING BALANCE The City consists of 45%multiple family residential units (townhomes and apartments) and 55% single family residential units. Approximately 24% of the City's entire housing stock are multiple family townhomes. There is approximately 9%, or 894 total acres, left for residential development(both single and multiple family development). HOUSING GOALS In 1995, the City Council established the Senior Issues Task Force to identify the impact of changing demographics of the senior population and the resulting needs for housing, transportation, health and social services and related issues. One of the needs identified by the Task Force was for a variety of senior housing opportunities including assisted care, affordable and market rate ownership and rental, housing with elevators, and one level housing. The Final Report said some flexibility in the zoning codes might be necessary, including the use of higher densities to help maintain affordability. As part of the Liveable Communities Act passed by the Legislature in 1995, cities were asked to develop an action plan to provide more affordable and life cycle housing in the City. Affordable housing is currently defined as:a value less than $135,000.00. Life cycle housing is for all different stages of life. � �y Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th Informational Meeting June 23,2000 TRANSITION TO EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS Transition is required when there are differences in densities, land use, building mass, height, and site intensity. Increased setbacks, berming,plantings, lower densities, and smaller buildings may accomplish transitions. The following plan revisions are necessary to meet the City code for transition, screening of the parking, and compatibility with adjacent densities: Scheme A needs a 50 foot green space to create enough room for a 7-9 foot high berm with plantings along the west and south property lines to reduce the visual impacts of the three-story structures. This will require a reduction of 12 units. The density would be lowered from 7.3 to 5.2 units per acre. Scheme B needs a 40 foot green space to create enough room for a 4-5 foot high berm with plantings along the west and south property lines to reduce the visual impacts of the two-story structures. This will require a reduction of 6 units. The density would be lowered from 6.06 to 5.0 units per acre. • Scheme C needs a 75 foot green space to create enough room for a 10-12 foot high berm with plantings along the west and south property lines to reduce the visual impacts of the three story structures. This will require a reduction of 12 units. The density would be reduced from 14.53 to 12.5 units per acre. While the plan can be changed to mitigate the visual impacts,this use may be more appropriately located where higher densities and larger structures exist in the City. In addition, a senior project should be located in close proximity to commercial services. The future Bluff Country Village Commercial is located less than one mile to the east at Pioneer Trail and Hennepin Townline Road. The Rolling Hills Senior Development (Prairie Center Drive and Rolling Hills Road), Eden Shores.Senior Housing (Flying Cloud Drive and Fountain Place), and Realife Cooperative (Valley View Road) are located in areas planned for higher densities and close to commercial services around the Eden Prairie Mall. TRAFFIC IMPACTS A traffic study will be needed to analyze the impacts of a church or any of the proposed residential uses on the intersection of Franlo Road and Pioneer Trail. EXISTING SITE FEATURES The tree inventory indicates that most of the trees are cottonwood. Most of the cottonwoods are less than 12 inches in diameter and not required to be replaced according to city Code. There is one large oak tree along Pioneer Trail,which is proposed to be saved on the Scheme A,C, and D. Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th Informational Meeting June 23,2000 The City's wetland inventory shows a wetland on this site. Wetland 25-43B is a high quality Type 1 seasonally flooded wet meadow. The wetland report suggests that Wetland 25-43B may not be a wetland since no water was present when the wetland was inspected on March 10, 2000. However since the 1999 fall conditions were dry and the spring thaw was early, water or a frost line would not be present in a seasonal Type I wetland. A City staff inspection of the wetland on May 11, 2000 showed soil,water, and plant types indicative of a wetland. The developer needs to delineate the wetland and submit for approval by the watershed district. If the delineation confirms the presence of wetlands, then the plans will need to changed in order to meet requirements of the wetland ordinance for a 50 foot setback and a 15 foot buffer strip CONCEPT SUMMARY Multiple family residential can work if the residential plans are changed to provide a transition as required by City code. Transition within the project boundaries, whether the site develops as a church or multiple family,will help minimize the visual impacts on existing neighborhoods. The relationship to the neighborhood should be balanced with City housing goals for affordable, senior, and life cycle housing. Any of the residential projects would meet one or more City housing goals. After presentation by the proponent and listening to comments from the neighborhood,the Board should discuss the following questions: 1. Is the appropriate land use for this site church or multiple family? 2. Which residential plan represents the best balance between overall City housing goals and compatibility with existing neighborhoods? 3. Are any of the proposed multiple family plans compatible with the existing neighborhoods? 4. What is an appropriate density for this site? 5. Are buffer zones and transition needed next to existing residential neighborhoods? LAND USE ALTERNATIVES Scheme A: Multiple Family Condominiums If the Board supports the multiple family condominiums, then staff recommends the following plan revisions: • Reduce the number of units from 42 to 30. • Create a 50 foot green space to allow room for a 7-9 foot berm with plantings along the west and south property lines. • Staff Report—Bluffs East 17th Informational Meeting June 23,2000 Scheme B: Multiple Family Townhomes • If the Board supports the multiple family condominiums, then staff recommends the following plan revisions: • Reduce the number of units from 35 to 29. • Create a 40 foot green space to allow room for a 4-5 foot berm with plantings along the west and south property lines. Scheme C: Senior Apartments Ifthe Board supports the senior apartments,then staff recommends the following plan revisions: • • • Reduce the number of units from 84 to 72. • Create a 75 foot green space to create enough room for a 10- 12 foot high berm with plantings along the west and south property lines to reduce the visual impacts of the 3 story structures. Scheme D: Church If the Board supports a church,then staff would recommend the following plan revisions: • • Create a 75-foot setback from Franlo Road. • Parking should be a 50-foot setback from the west and south property line. • A 4-5 foot high berm with plantings is needed along Franlo Road and the south property line to screen parking. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is comfortable with a church use or any of the proposed residential uses of the property subject to plan revisions. Staff believes Scheme A and B represent the best balance between neighborhood compatibility and City housing goals. J d`� CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: 11/07/00 SECTION: Public Hearings SERVICE AREA/DIVISION: Community Development ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.: Donald R.Uram j Krista R.Flemming Prairie Lutheran Church Addition , C Requested Action Move to: • Close the Public Hearing; and • Adopt the Resolution for PUD Concept Review on 4.98 acres; and • Approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review with waivers on 4.98 acres Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 1.68 acres, and Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 3.3 acres; and • Adopt the Resolution for a Preliminary Plat on 4.98 acres into 1 lot; and • Direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating Staff and Board recommendations and Council conditions. • Synopsis This project includes an 18,948 sq. ft. building addition and parking lot to the existing church located at 11000 Blossom Road. The Community Planning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City Council at its September 11, 2000,meeting. Background Information The 1986 approval of the existing church included a plan for a future building addition and parking area. The site plan shows an 18,948 sq. ft. addition to the existing church for a total building area of 31,466 sq. ft. There are 49 new parking spaces provided on the west side of the site for a total of 147 spaces. As part of the Planned Unit Development review,the Developer is requesting the following waivers: • Front yard parking setback from 50 feet to 29 feet for the maneuvering area associated with 8 spaces in the first row of parking closest to the west access. Only a portion of the maneuvering areas associated with the parking encroaches into the front yard setback. All parking stalls meet the front yard setback of 50 feet. These 8 spaces could have been located as close as 10 feet from the side yard property lines; however, the project is better because it maintains 50 feet from all side yard lot lines providing a more acceptable transition to the neighborhoods. • • Exterior materials from 75%face brick,glass,or natural stone to 25%. City Council Agenda Bluffs East 17th Page 2 The Prairie Lutheran Church was granted a variance in 1988 for all wood and glass exterior materials since the church was adjacent to single family homes. The waiver would be consistent with the variance granted to the existing structure. • Height from 30 feet to 34 feet. The addition will be a two-level design, including a high ceiling in the worship space. The addition will be constructed using the same type and color of glass and clad materials to match the existing building facade. The expansion includes a 12 by 12 foot gable/peak with windows, which is technically the highest pitched roof, and increases the building height to 34 feet requiring a PUD waiver. If the roof pitch of the gable were to intersect with the lower, adjacent roof slope, the building height would meet code. Churches have been allowed to exceed the district height limitation in regard to steeples or spires. The code allows steeples to be 25 feet higher than the given district height limitation. Although the gable is not a steeple or spire, it can be considered the high point of the church, giving an architectural statement to the Church as would a traditional steeple. The waiver has merit since the gable adds an interesting architectural feature to the building. Attachments 1. Resolution for PUD Concept Review 2. Resolution for Preliminary Plat 3.

Franzen gave the staff recommendations. Foote asked if there would be a problem with the driveway right a single family home. Franzen,no. Brooks indicated that more parking is provided then code requires. Could parking be reduced instead of the setback taking up 8 spaces? Franzen indicated that would be one option. He stated that by code parking could be 10 feet from the north property. The staff felt it was better to have a similar setback landscaping to all homes. Koenig inquired about possibility of traffic problems. COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES SEPTTEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 3 Gray said there have been traffic problems at Bennett and Pioneer Trail. This will now be signalized and traffic will improve after Pioneer Trail is upgraded. Gray indicated the parking lot will not be connected to Pioneer Trail. Nelson asked how well wood siding has been working and whether this will continue to work or if there should be more brick. Franzen said staff recommends wood for consistency. Nelson asked if it has been maintained well so far? Franzen replied yes. Motion by Clinton, seconded by Koenig close at 7:21. All ayes. V. PUBLIC MEETING VI. MEMBERS' REPORTS VII.

It is a condensed version of Roberts' Rules of Order. Corneille recommended that when a motion is different from the staff report, it should be written before it is made. Foote noted that at council meetings the hearing is closed after public comment,then the Council begins discussion. Franzen, indicated if a decision is made to continue the project, a vote must be made to reopen the hearing first. Closing the hearing allows the Board an uninterrupted time for discussion. Uram said closing hearing stops back and forth discussion between the audience and the Board. Brooks asked about discussion with developer, does the hearing need to be reopened? Foote,thought only if it were to be continued. STAFF REPORT TO: Community Planning Board FROM: Krista R.Flemming, Planner DATE: September 8,2000 SUBJECT: Prairie Lutheran Church Addition APPLICANT/ OWNER: Prairie Lutheran Church LOCATION: 11000 Blossom Road REQUEST: 1. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 4.98 acres 2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 4.98 acres 3. Zoning District Change from R1-13.5 to Public on 1.68 acres 4. Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 3.3 acres 5. Site Plan Review on 4.98 acres • 6. Preliminary Plat of 4.98 acres into 1 lot 9 Staff Report—Prairie Lutheran Church Addition September 8,2000 BACKGROUND The site is currently guided Church with part of the land zoned Public and part zoned Rural. The 1986 approval included a plan for a church with a future addition and parking area. In 1994, the church subdivided a portion of the land for a 13 unit, single family subdivision. SITE PLAN The site plan shows an 18,948 sq. ft. addition to the existing church. The addition will include a new worship area,provisions for music rehearsal and equipment storage, and staff office expansion. Existing building space will be made available for increased use of church classrooms and weekday and community events. The total building size will be 31,466 sq. ft. There are 49 new parking spaces provided on the west side of the site for a total of 147 spaces. A total of 142 spaces are required by code for the 425 seat worship area. The building meets the 50 foot front,rear, and one side minimum setbacks and a total side yard setback of 150 feet. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT As part of the Planned Unit Development review, the Developer is requesting the following waivers: • Front yard parking setback from 50 feet to 29 feet for the maneuvering area associated with 8 spaces in the first row of parking closest to the west access. Only a portion of the maneuvering areas associated with the parking encroaches into the front yard setback. All parking stalls meet the front yard setback of 50 feet. These 8 spaces could have been located as close as 10 feet from the side yard property lines; however,the project is better because it maintains 50 feet from all side yard lot lines providing a more acceptable transition to the neighborhoods. • Exterior materials from 75% face brick, glass,or natural stone to 25%. The Prairie Lutheran Church was granted a variance in 1988 for all wood and glass exterior materials since the church was adjacent to single family homes. The waiver would be consistent with the variance granted to the existing structure. • Height from 30 feet to 34 feet. The addition will be a two-level design,including a high ceiling in the worship space. The addition will be constructed using the same type and color of glass and clad materials to match the existing building facade. Building height in the Public zoning district has a maximum of 30 feet,and is based on the mid-point Staff Report—Prairie Lutheran Church Addition September 8,2000 of the highest pitched roof. The expansion includes a 12 foot by 12 foot gable/peak with windows, which is technically the highest pitched roof,and increases the building height to 34 feet requiring a PUD waiver. If the roof pitch of the gable were to intersect with the lower,adjacent roof slope,the building height would meet code. Churches have been allowed to exceed the district height limitation in regard to steeples or spires.The code allows steeples to be 25 feet higher than the given district height limitation. Although the gable is not a steeple or spire, it can be considered the high point of the church, giving an architectural statement to the Church as would a traditional steeple. The waiver has merit since the gable adds an interesting architectural feature to the building. TREE REPLACEMENT AND LANDSCAPE PLAN There are 327 diameter inches, or 30 significant trees, on the site. The total tree loss is 15%, or 48 diameter inches(5 trees). The tree replacement required is 9 caliper inches. The landscaping requirement for the building addition is 59 caliper inches. The plan provides 97 caliper inches to satisfy the landscaping and tree replacement requirement. Staff recommends adding 9 deciduous trees along the west and northwest property lines and 3 deciduous trees within the parking islands to provide appropriate screening of the parking lot from the adjacent neighborhoods and satisfy the requirement for 5%the parking lot to be landscaped(see attached graphic). DRAINAGE Stormwater will be treated onsite to meet City standards. ACCESS A new access to Blossom Road is proposed for the westerly parking area. LIGHTING Lighting in the parking lot will include 20 foot downcast, cutoff shoebox fixtures. UTILITIES Utilities are available on the site.

Franzen Requested Action Move to: • Close the Public Hearing; and • Approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on .51 acres. Synopsis This is a rezoning of a single family lot from Rural to R1-13.5 located at 9610 Franlo Road. The Community Planning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City Council at the October 9,2000 meeting. Background Information: The site includes one single family residence currently zoned Rural. The owner's recently requested a building addition to the home that could not meet the side yard setbacks for the Rural Zoning District. The site is considered a non-conforming use since it does not meet the 10-acre minimum lot size. Any structures on the site continue to exist in its current state, but may not be enlarged. The new building addition will meet the side yard setbacks•for the proposed R1-13.5 Zoning District. The site currently has city sewer and water services. Rezoning to R1-13.5 is appropriate for the following reasons. 1. It would be consistent with City policy to eliminate non-conforming lots instead of granting variances to enlarge non-conforming uses. 2. Rezoning to R1-13.5 would be consistent with the surrounding zoning districts. 3. It would be consistent with the guide plan designation for low density residential. No Developer's Agreement is necessary to rezone the site. The Council is requested to take action on the first and second readings so the homeowner can proceed with their building addition this fall.

The lot was created prior to 1969. In 1969 the City created a 5-acre minimum lot size for property zoned rural. The City code was amended in 1982 to create a 10-acre minimum lot size for the rural zoning district. The purposes of the large lot size were to minimize the use of septic tanks and drainfields and encourage land to develop at higher densities where there was city sewer and water. The existing home was constructed on the site in 1970. The home was connected to City sewer and water in 1981. The site is considered a non-conforming use since it does not meet the 10-acre minimum lot size. Any structures on the site may be continued,but may not be enlarged. The owners recently requested a building addition to the home. The addition would not meet the side yard setbacks for the Rural Zoning District. The new building addition will meet the side yard setbacks for the proposed R1-13.5 Zoning District. POLICY Rezoning to R1-13.5 is appropriate for the following reasons. 1. The rezoning would be consistent with City policy to eliminate non-conforming lots instead of granting variances to enlarge non-conforming uses. 2. The rezoning to R1-13.5 would be consistent with the surrounding zoning,which is R1-13.5. 3. The rezoning would be consistent with the guide plan. The site and the surrounding area is guided low density residential. RECOMMENDATION Staff would recommend approval for a Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5on.51 acres for one existing single family lot.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: SECTION: Petitions,Requests and Communications November 7,2000 ITEM DESCRIPTION: SERVICE AREA/DIVISION: ITEM NO.: Chris Enger, City Manager Petition Supporting City Retaining Ownership of the Smith Douglas More House Requested Action Move to: Receive petition in support of retaining ownership of Smith Douglas More House. Direct staff to include petition background information along with the results of the Community Forum/Survey and the recommendations of the Heritage Preservation Commission in the "Adaptive Reuse" Report to the City Council in their consideration of the disposition of the Smith Douglas More House in 2001. Synopsis The City has received a petition urging the City Council to retain ownership of the Smith Douglas More House and its development as an attraction open to the public. Background Information The City Council had adopted the recommendations of the Heritage Preservation Commission to consider the Smith Douglas More House for adaptive reuse at the Council's July 18, 2000, meeting. The Council directed the staff to solicit Proposals for professional real estate services at their August 1,2000,meeting. We did not receive responses to the RFP for Professional Real Estate Services to: • Develop a Market Feasibility Report for the lease or sale of the historic Smith Douglas More House for maximum return on the City's investment and restoration of the exterior of the house within parameters of adaptive reuse • Market the property for lease or sale for maximum return within the framework of the adaptive reuse The City conducted a Community Forum on October 27 and 28, 2000. There will be a follow-up community-wide Survey in late December. The purpose of the 2000 Community Forum/Survey is to gain insight from residents (through a multi-phased survey process) on future park, recreation and leisure needs to help the City plan for needs to support a vital community, protect natural resources, preserve our heritage and reflect our community's diversity and changing demographics. We would recommend the Council take into account the results of the Community Forum/Survey, the Adaptive Reuse Report, the recommendations of the Heritage Preservation Commission, and the petition in support of retaining ownership of the Smith Douglas More House in February 2001 as part of their marketing decision. Attachments Petition We the undersigned, believe the Douglas-More house is �� one of the very few existing links left with our past. We believe the preservation and integrity of the Douglas-More home will not be maintained in perpetuity if it is permitted to be purchased by a private buyer. We are therefore petitioning the City Council and the Mayor to act unanimously to retain ownership of this historic residence and to develop it into an attraction open to the public. • NAME ADDRESS / 7!i A, ' ,z0 ' /3 P SSs Y7 . ..i1z�e._ S 4Y �_.,_-� 5 3 3 U ',,_ ./4: - — d1i' S -t OD,:,,, ci2.6\ (P\;1 ,1 kAkt `P(Q s-s3I7 /7 "741-..-/W..144714- 44d . :, ,) 2a74/ ,(7. 7 04{,t )fiar6 d)/, ,,,f if ,-,-„, a cp/er4 q.,,,,,..4,47, r7 / �a z , 6p, 61 )i -1i j.,,..2,4) (,?''e1h44ti� (1%D-5' 7 -A./z, /.[• ce (2 S S,j f'7 4))1,•Ptetit-S CV14131 t , . , c,42-____. 1j; /d /n A /4%G'G/J o:7 d OW).

I wold like to respond to the six items you indicated I agreed to at our meeting: 1. I did agree to amend the proposed 2000 Comprehensive Plan(map 2.1) to show Birch Island as a"land to be purchased/dedicated:." As I indicated to you in that meeting,lands depicted in this plan may or may not ever be purchased or dedicated. This designation indicates it is desirable to protect these properties if it is financially feasible. The plan does not necessarily indicate there are funds available other than a referendum, for that purpose. 2. You requested "your client" to be on the notification list for all-public hearings or discussions pertaining to the 2000 Comprehensive Plan. Please provide me with the name and address of the person that should be notified of the public hearing on the 2000 Comprehensive Plan. 3. I will inform you of any extension by the Metropolitan Council of the deadline to complete the 2000 Comprehensive Plan. 4. If it becomes necessary to meet with the Hennepin County Board to request they convey the land at no cost to the City of Eden Prairie, I would have to be directed by the City Manager or the City Council to "represent the City of Eden Prairie" at such a meeting. That request should be made at the November 21°Council meeting,if it is necessary. 5. Upon review of your October 19t letter, I would request that you submit a letter to the Mayor and City Council requesting to be on the November 21a City Council agenda rather than at the workshop. You will be requesting the City Council to take action supporting either staff, Councilmembers, or both to attend the November 28`h General Government Committee meeting representing the City. This would require action of the Council that cannot be taken at a workshop. 6. At the October 26`h staff meeting, our City Attorney indicated the Community Forum is not a public meeting and, therefore, does not require that we allow the public to attend. Upon further discussion at the meeting, it was determined that the City bad gone to a great deal of expense to obtain 100 randomly selected individuals from the Community to obtain unbiased public opinion on a variety of park and recreation issues. If the City allowed special interest groups to attend the meeting and perhaps lobby for their particular interest,the randomly selected residents could be biased. ::•l Y:�.:J. -q:•r 10/31/00 16:18 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E. CASEY lJ03 Thomas E. Casey October 17,2000 Page 2 It should be noted that it is likely that supporters of the Birch Island Woods would be selected by the random process anyway. Representatives from the Minneapolis Star and Tribune,the Sun Current Newspaper,and the Eden Prairie News have been invited to attend to monitor the Council Forum process. I did leave a voice mail message at your office regarding this decision on October 26ih so you have time to inform your clients of this docision. After our meeting last Friday,you reviewed the Park and Recreation Services file on Birch Island Park and you requested that I advise you on whether or not other City records exist regarding the subject property and, if so,the date and time the records can be made available for your review. I'm not aware of any other records on Birch Island Park other than a August 14`h letter our City Manager sent to Randy Johnson. I do not have a copy of that letter; however, one can be obtained by contacting Chris Eager,our City Manager,at anytime. The only other funding sources that could be explored would be the possibility of a referendum. I will recommend the City determine public support for a referendum through a citywide survey, if we are unable to convince the County Board to transfer ownership at no cost. The City is extremely fortunate to have the type of residents that have supported Birch Island Woods willing to spend their time and funds for the long-term benefit of this community. I truly appreciate their effort and your assistance in helping to protect and save Birch Island Woods_ Sincerely, CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE Robert A.Lambert Director Parks and Recreation Services RAL:mdd c: Chris Eager,City Manager 10/19/00 16:11 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E.

Based upon our conversation, it is obvious that The Friends of Birch Island Woods and the City of Eden Prairie can be strong, effective partners to achieve this goal. To help The Friends of Birch Island Woods work with the City of Eden Prairie, you agreed at our meeting to the following: 1. Amend the proposed 2000 Comprehensive Plan (Map 2.1) to show Birch Island Woods as "land to be purchased/dedicated;" 2. Place my client on the notification list for all public hearings or discussions pertaining to the 2000 Comprehensive Plan; 3. Inform me of any extension by the Metropolitan Council of the deadline to complete the 2000 Comprehensive Plan; 4. Work with my client to schedule a meeting with the Hennepin County Board to demonstrate an "overriding public purpose" to convey the land at no cost to the City of Eden Prairie; 5. Confirm a City Council "workshop" meeting on November 21, 2000 (or at an earlier City Council 10/19/00 16:11 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E. CASEY l 03 City of Eden Prairie 10/19/00 meeting, if possible) regarding acquisition issues; and - - 6. Confirm whether there is room for one or more of my client's members to attend the "Community Forum" on October 27-26. Since our 10/13/00 meeting, you have confirmed my client's "workshop" meeting with the City Council on 11/21/00. You also confirmed that it is possible for a small number of my client's members to attend the "Community Forum" on October 27-28. If any one decides to attend, great care will be exerted to ensure the meeting's objectives. Immediately after our meeting last Friday, you submitted certain city records of Birch Island Woods for our review. Please advise me whether or not other city records exist regarding the subject property and, if so, a date and time the records can be made available for our review. It is important to note again that The Friends of Bird Island Woods desire to protect the entire parcel and see no reason to ask for less. My client knows that the City of Eden Prairie desires the same result. However, it appears that the City of Eden Prairie has no "backup plan" in the event that Hennepin County will not convey the property without financial consideration. Therefore, my client suggests that the City of Eden Prairie consider: 1. Allocating funds in the city capital improvement plans (CIP) ; 2. Applying for a Metro Greenways and other grants; 3. Partnering with other government entities for a joint acquisition; or 4. Exploring other funding sources. Finally, Melissa Booth of the Hennepin County Administrator's Office (348-3237) confirmed that the General Government Committee (chaired by Commissioner Gail Dorfman) can schedule a joint meeting with The Friends of Birch Island Woods and the City of Eden Prairie on October 24, November 7, • or November 28. The object of this meeting would be to demonstrate an "overriding public purpose" to transfer Birch Island Woods at no cost. All meetings begin at 2:00 p.m. ; written material must be submitted one week in advance. To allow us time to plan a joint presentation, my client suggests that we schedule the General Government Committee meeting for November 28. In the meantime, it would be very helpful to schedule a series of informal meetings between -3 t 10/31/00 16:18 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E.

Again, on behalf of The Friends of Birch Island Woods, I thank you for your kind assistance and the opportunity to work with the City of Eden Prairie to acquire an important community asset for the benefit of present and future generations. Please advise me if there is anything else the Friends of Birch Island Woods can do to assist your efforts. ery ly 70\ Thomas E. sey TEC:rf cc: The Friends of Birch Island Woods file 09/28/00 14:42 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E.

To that end, several questions have arisen, necessitating a response: 1. Is Hennepin County required to obtain the appraised value for the conveyance? Minnesota Statute 465.035 specifically authorizes a county to convey land to a governmental subdivision for no consideration. [See also Hennepin County v. City of Hopkins 58 N.W.2d 851 (1953) ] . The Hennepin County "surplus land policy" also allows a conveyance for no consideration. Resolution No. 81-3-266 states in part: "All negotiations for the . . . transfer . of County property . . . shall take into consideration the full value thereof . . . . Proposed exceptions to this principle shall be . . based on overriding public purpose . . . . Resolution No. 86-7-584 requires prior notification to the respective municipality before any public advertising of a proposed sale. (See enclosures.) The Friends of Birch Islands Woods can demonstrate an "overriding public purpose" to preserve Birch Island Woods as a nature preserve for "passive" recreational uses. Accordingly, a sufficient legal and policy basis exists to convey Birch Island Woods to the City of Eden Prairie for no consideration. To what extent has the City of Eden Prairie utilized the foregoing authority as a basis to acquire Birch Island Woods from Hennepin County? 2. Is the City of Eden Prairie committed to acquire Birch Island Woods? The City of Eden Prairie Comprehensive � ( 09/28/00 14:42 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E. CASEY lIO2 City of Eden Prairie 9/28/00 Park and Open Space Plan (1989) appears to plan for the acquisition of Birch Island Woods. Page 23 states in part, "[a]dditional land could be acquired from the county including the northern marsh and the eastern woods and marsh." The map (figure 2.1) shows Birch Island Woods as "land to be purchased/dedicated." The current draft Comprehensive Guide Plan (2000) contains similar language for Birch Island Park, stating, "[a)dditional land could be acquired from Hennepin County, including the northern marsh and the eastern woods and marsh. " Significantly, however, Map 2.1 does not show Birch Island Woods as "land to be purchased/dedicated." My clients would like to assume that this is an unintentional oversight. Is this true? Furthermore, the acquisition of Birch Island Woods is not included in either the 2003 or the 2009 Park Project Plans. (See draft Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 8.) My clients strongly urge that money should be allocated to acquire Birch Island Woods in the event that Hennepin County is not receptive to a no cost conveyance. (It would also be prudent to obtain an appraisal of Birch Island Woods as soon as possible. ) As you are aware, the Hennepin County Board has given the City of Eden Prairie until the end of this year to acquire Birch Island Woods. Consequently, The Friends of Birch Island Woods respectfully request the following: 1. To be scheduled on the City Council agenda at the earliest possible date to discuss a cooperative 1/011ilf( acquisition strategy; 2. To be informed of the time frame and hearing schedule to review and approve the draft Comprehensive Plan; 3. To be provided an opportunity to submit detailed written and oral comments regarding the draft Comprehensive Plan at the advisory commission and City Council meetings; 4. The city promptly obtain an appraisal of the subject property; and 5. A copy of all documents in your files pertaining to the acquisition of Birch Island Woods. (This request is pursuant to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. 13.01 et seq. ) Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss moving these matters forward as soon as possible. (Please note that I will be out of town from October 2-9.

To that end, the question has arisen, "Is Hennepin County required to obtain the appraised value for the conveyance?" Minnesota Statute 465.035 allows a county to convey land to a governmental subdivision for no consideration. [See Hennepin County v. City of Hopkins 58 N.W.2d 851 (1953) ] . Moreover, Hennepin County's "surplus land policy" authorizes a conveyance for no consideration. Resolution No. 81-3-266 states in part: "All negotiations for the transfer . , . of County property . . . shall take into consideration the full value thereof . . . . Proposed exceptions to this principle shall be . . . based on overriding public purpose . . . ." Resolution No. 86-7-584 requires prior notification to the respective municipality before any public advertising of a proposed sale. (See enclosed resolutions.) it is also significant to note that on September 30, 1983, Hennepin County conveyed properties to the City of Eden Prairie for adjoining Birch Island Park for no consideration. (See enclosed document numbers 4849035 and 4849036.) The Friends of Birch Islands Woods (in cooperation with the City of Eden Prairie) request the opportunity to demonstrate to the Commissioners that there is, indeed, an "overriding public purpose" to preserve Birch Island Woods as a nature preserve for "passive" recreational uses. Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss 09/28/00 14:42 FAX 1 952 472 4771 THOMAS E.

Dietz X ' C' Requested Action Move to: Receive Petition from Red Rock Neighborhood Regarding Ponding Conditions and refer to staff for further study. Synopsis Neighbors on the streets of Canyon Ridge, View Lane and Village Woods Drive have submitted a petition expressing their concern about the "drying up" of the pond area adjacent to their back yards. This petition requests an investigation mitigation plan and/or property tax relief due to the loss of the amenity. It is recommended that Council refer the matter to staff for review with a report due back to City Council at the second meeting in January. Background Information City staff has had communications with the residents concerned about the pond. In fact, there has been communications with a MnDOT hydrologist for additional analysis. While we may not be optimistic about a viable quick fix or the feasibility of property tax abatement, staff would request until the second meeting of January to prepare a report regarding a position for each element of the petition. Attachments Petition • Neighborhood Petition We the undersigned would like to go on record as voicing our concern regarding the deteriorating condition of the pond(historically a portion of Red Rock Lake)bordered by Morraine Way,Red Rock Rd.,View Lane and Canyon Ridge. While this water area in the past has been a central point for recreation such as ice-skating rinks in the winter, a place to canoe in the summer, and a watershed area for numerous wildlife and birds, it has now deteriorated to the point of being completely dried up. Our observation has been that this process of deterioration coincided with the construction of Highway 212 in our neighborhood. While there have been times in the past where the level of water in the pond has gone down slightly in dry seasons,we do not feel that this deterioration is the result of weather but due to some other reason. We the undersigned would like immediate action taken to investigate the source of this problem and have it rectified now. If no immediate action is taken,we feel that our property taxes should be reviewed and lowered given that we no longer border a water area. Immediate response to this petition and notification of what action is being taken is requested. Contact can be made with either Kris Johnson at 934-7692 (15535 Morraine Way) or Marcia Turner at 937- 2129 (15475 Morraine Way). We thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to hearing from you.

The purpose of the FAA comments are to help guide the MAC it its preparation of the study and identify early on the significant issues that may effect the review by the FAA in making its determination. The comments address the existing and proposed ordinance as appearing to be, or having the potential to be inconsistent with reasonable and nondiscriminatory access. MAC staff will be discussing the issues raised in the letter with the FAA over the next few weeks to better understand how to address them, and to what extent the FAA will, or will not support the proposal. The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission will call for a special meeting following those discussions to determine a course of action. Background Information The FAA has completed its preliminary review of the MAC's Federal Aviation Regulations Part 161.Study for the nighttime operational restrictions proposed at Flying Cloud Airport. These restrictions are included in proposed amendments to Ordinance 51. The FAA would not allow the proposed restrictions to be part of the Environmental Impact Statement for Flying Cloud Airport unless a Part 161 study indicates otherwise. The nighttime restrictions were critical to the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission in its support of the proposed changes to Ordinance 51. In November of 1999,the City Council endorsed the solicitation of support from the FAA and key aviation organizations by the MAC and Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission to obtain some indication of whether the nighttime restrictions have merit for support during the EIS process. The Flying Cloud Advisory Commission was aware at the beginning of the Part 161 process that any new restrictions proposed for the airport would be difficult for the FAA to support. 1 City Council Agenda-FAA Preliminary Review of Part 161 Study November 7,2000 Page 2 The Part 161 Study has not been formally submitted to the FAA at this time. The purpose of the FAA comments are to help guide the MAC it its preparation of the study and identify early on the significant issues that may effect the review by the FAA in making its determination. Preliminary Findings The FAA's September 27, 2000,letter to the MAC indicate the following preliminary findings: Ordinance 51 • Since the proposed Part 161 restrictions build upon, rather than replace, the terms of Ordinance 51, it would be appropriate to consider the existing ordinance in its review. • A simple ban:on jet aircraft has been found unlawful and unconstitutional (Santa Monica Airport Association v. City of Santa Monica). There is no justification for the jet ban at Flying Cloud. on either noise or safety grounds and believe the conclusion of the Santa Monica court would apply to Ordinance 51. • There is no evidence that the 20,000 pound limit in Ordinance 51 (or the 22,500 pound limit in the proposed Part 161 restriction) relate to any legitimate noise objective for Flying Cloud Airport. • The ban on jet training could potentially be justified if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport. Proposed Part 161 Restrictions • The inherent problem with a noise related distinction between jet and propeller-driven aircraft as discussed in Santa Monica would seem to apply to the restrictions at Flying Cloud. • MAC is proposing to prohibit scheduled airline and Part 121 cargo operations. Although the draft EIS characterizes this prohibition as an existing restriction in the ordinance, we do not find such a prohibition therefore this would be a new restriction and subject to Part 161. The FAA found a ban on scheduled passenger operations at Centennial Airport in Arapahoe County, Colorado in violation of its grant assurances for imposing an unreasonable and discriminatory restriction. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit is currently reviewing that decision. The FAA states that there have been no complaints filed with them regarding Ordinance 51, and it is not clear that the ordinance has any adverse effect on aircraft operators interested in using Flying Cloud Airport at the present time. Also, to the extent that the existing ordinance may be inconsistent with the grant assurances, MAC could consider revision to its Part 161 proposal to eliminate that inconsistency in the rule finally adopted. City Council Agenda-FAA Preliminary Review of Part 161 Study November 7,2000 Page 3 The FAA submitted an additional letter to the MAC dated October 13, 2000 (attached), which provides detailed comments for the MAC to address regarding the cost-benefit analysis requirement of the Part 161 Study. ' Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission discussed the letter at its November 1, 2000, meeting with MAC staff and a local representative of the FAA. The FAA seems to acknowledge that the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA) considers Ordinance 51 "grandfathered" since it was adopted in 1978. However, the FAA implies the ordinance is nonetheless subject to review by the FAA under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act (AAIA) regarding assurance of reasonable access because the MAC is a recipient of FAA airport development grants. The FAA indicates that the existing and proposed ordinance appears to be, or has the potential to be, inconsistent with reasonable and nondiscriminatory access. Typically, the FAA responds to complaints filed with them,therefore, it is unclear how the FAA will pursue this issue. MAC staff will be discussing the issues raised in the letter with the FAA over the next few weeks to better understand how to address them, and to what extent the FAA will, or will not support the proposal. The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission will call for a special meeting following those discussions to determine a course of action. The completion of the final EIS for the airport expansion will be delayed due to these issues since the alternatives under consideration rely upon the existing ordinance, or amendments to it. It is not known at this time how long any delay will be. Attachments: 1. FAA letter to MAC,dated September 27,2000 2. FAA letter to MAC,dated October 13,2000 3.

Airport pursuant to 1.4 G.F.R. Part 161. MAC has extended the period for public comments on that proposal until October 16, 2000. In addition to the general review of that proposal under the criteria of Part 161, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has reviewed both the proposed restrictions and also the existing Ordinance 51 for consistency with MAC's obligations under Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant assurances and Federal preemption case law. Because the restrictions proposed under Part 161 build on, rather than replace, the terms of Ordinance 51, it is appropriate for the FAA to consider the existing ordinance in its review. MAC is a recipient of FAA airport development grants under 49 U.S.C_§47107, et seq.,formerly known as the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended (AAIA). As a condition to receiving its grants, the Authority was required to assure the Secretary that, among other things, it would"... make the airport available for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical activities." 4g U.S.C. § 47107(a)(1) (Assurance No.20). The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA) by its terms does not affect preexisting law, and any restriction an'aeronautical access to an airport must meet the assurances of§ 47107(a)(1) even if the FAA finds that the sponsor has met the procedural requirements of Part 161. To the extent noise control regulations are written in a way that they . bar aircraft operations on a basis other than noise or if they are imposed without a factual basis, they will be considered inconsistent with the assurance of reasonable access. i 1 • 9 1T ? 00 10: 45a:30i Alf /AP 202 267 3821 - 1 , '00 7:55IT. 7:54/NO, a8i)6;8S3bp.3 / . 2 , On the basis of our initial review, we have identified several aspects of both the existing and proposed access regulations that appear to be, or have the potential to be, inconsistent with the obligation to provide reasonable and non- discriminatory access to the airport. We understand that the FAA did not object to Ordinance 51 at the time it was adopted in 1978, but a current review must . consider the aircraft types now able to use the airport and the effects of judicial- cases decided since the time of FAA's initial review. We also recognize that the existing Ordinance 51 'restrictions have been included in the environmental baseline in the development of the draft environmental impact statement(EIS) • for the expansion of Flying Cloud Airport and that two of the alternatives analyzed in the draft EIS, including MAC's preferred alternative, include revisions to Ordinance 51. In addition, the draft EiS assumes voluntary compliance with the proposed restrictions as part of the mitigation that.would prevent significant adverse noise impacts on residential property(see draft EIS, pp.V-65, V-67). Whether and how the EIS may need to be revised or • - . supplemented based on the Issues raised below will, of course, depend an how these issues are resolved. While this letter is not intended to provide a final determination on consistency with the grant assurances,we believe it would useful for MAC to have our preliminary views in assessing Its options on the proposed Part 161 restrictions. Moreover, to the extent the existing ordinance may be inconsistent with the grant assurances, this preliminary guidance could provide MAC the opportunity to consider revision of its Part 161 proposal to eliminate that inconsistency in the rule finally adopted. • Our preliminary views of the existing and proposed restrictions, from the• standpoint of grant compliance, may be summarized as follows. MAC Ordinance 51 (January 16, 1978). Ordinance 51 bans the operation of jet aircraft at Flying Cloud Airport,with the exception of jet aircraft weighing 20,000 pounds or less MTOW that meet noise emission levels of Part 36. Flight training in jet aircraft is prohibited. At the time it was adopted, the ban was justified as promoting a... the public health, peace, welfare and safe operations." ' A simple ban on jet aircraft has been found unlawful and unconstitutional. Santa Monica Airport Association v. City of Santa Monica, 461 F. Supp. 927, 943-944 (C.D: Cal. 1979), aff'd, 659 F.2d 100 (9th Cir. 1981). There is lithe, if . - any, difference between the noise of jet aircraft and that of propeller-driven aircraft using the airport, and jets are certainly no less safe than propeller aircraft. On this basis the court in Santa Monica found that a ban on jet aircraft 6 ? 00 10: 46a p. g FROM ?RP,!b.PP 202 267 8821 (THU) G. 28'00 7:56/ST. 7:54/NG. 4860698436 P 4 I • • is unjustly discriminatory, a violation of equal protection, and an undue burden on interstate commerce, As part of these findings, the court determined that the jet ban was not rationally related to any legitimate state interest, We see no •' justification for the jet ban at Flying Cloud on either noise or safety grounds, and we believe the conclusion of the Santa Monica court would apply to Ordinance 51. Second, Ordinance 51 incorporates a weight limit as a limitation on aircraft noise. The FAA has not found that weight limits can never be used as noise limitations, but there is no evidence that the 20,000 pound limit in Ordinance 51 (or the 22,500 pound limit in the proposed Part 161 restriction) relate to any legitimate noise objective for Flying Cloud Airport. We do note that the runway pavement at the airport is designed and built to a limit of 30,000 pounds, and an airport operating restriction based solely on that weight limit would not be subject to Part 161 or further grant assurance review by the FAA. Finally, the ban on jet training could potentially be justified if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the public, but to our knowledge MAC has not specifically developed a justification for this particular restriction. Proposed Part 161 restrictions. In its Part 161 process, MAC has proposed to ) adopt revisions to Ordinance 51 to implement a nighttime curfew on Stage 2 let aerations and anighttim ew on maintenance run-ups. . The inherent problem with a noise-related distinction between jet and propeller- driven aircraft was discussed earlier in connection with existing Ordinance 51. This same problem would seem to apply to the proposed curfew on jet operations. We also understand that MAC is proposing to revise Ordinance 51 to prohibit scheduled airline and Part 121 cargo operations at Flying Cloud Airport. . Although the draft EIS characterizes this prohibition as an existing restriction in Ordinance 51 (see draft EIS, pp.xi, V-65), we do not find such a prohibition in the ordinance. Thus, it appears that this would be a new restriction and therefore subject to Part 161, Moreover,the prohibition on scheduled operations and Part 121 cargo operations appears very similar to a ban on scheduled passenger operations adopted by Arapahoe County, Colorado, at Centennial Airport• . The FAA received a formal complaint against the airport ' from a commercial operator. After an administrative hearing and appeal, the FAA found that the airport operator was in violation of its grant assurances for imposing an unreasonable and discriminatory restriction on access to the 6 /27 00 10:46a P•5 FROM 4.RP/?P 202 267 8821 (T�-1U) 9. 28' 00 7:56/S T. 7:54/110. 4860698436 P 5 . -I 4 airport The County filed a petition for review of the FAA final decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1 0'r' Circuit, and that case is pending. • You should note that existing limitations unrelated to noise effectively regulate access to the airport to the same extent as the proposed prohibitions on scheduled operations and Part 121 cargo operations, i-irst, MAC cues not • • hold a Part 139 oertificate for the airport, so scneouied operations are currently permitted only by aircraft with 30•or fewer passenger seats. If the FAA adopts e ruse rey�.r ing Part 1 e cernncates a t.;om?riucw airports, as the FAA has • proposed in the notice of proposed rulemaking issued on June 21, 2000 [65 Fed. Reg.38636, Docket No. FAA-2000-7479; Notice No.,00-05],then scheduled passenger service would be permitted at Flying Cloud only with aircraft having fewer than 10 passenger seats. Similarly, while a Part'139 certificate is technically not required for Part 121 cargo operations, the aircraft types generally used for that service.cannot regularly use a 5,000 foot runway. • Accordingly, it appears that neither of the two•categories of operation • prohibited under the proposal is likely to occur at Flying Cloud Airport in any event. At this time no complaints have been filed with the FAA regarding Ordinance 51, and it is not clear that the ordinance has any adverse effect on aircraft operators interested in using Flying Cloud Airport at the present time. The issues identified in this letter will need to be resolved, however. We offer these preliminary views on the existing and proposed restrictions,from the standpoint of grant compliance and other Federal law, in the interest of permitting this Information to be considered in the course of the Part 161 process. We would be pleased to meet with you to discuss this further if that would be helpful, Please call me at 202-267-3053 if you have any questions on this letter, or if you would like to arrange a meeting, Sincerely, • David L Bennett Director, of Airport Safety and Standards • RECEIVED 00T 1 9 2000 Airport Development U.S. Deportment Office of the Associate 800 Independence Ave.,SW. of Transpottallon Administrator for Airports Washington,DC 20591 Federal Aviation Administration OCT 1 3 2000 Mr. Mark Ryan R CEIVFD Metropolitan Airports Commission 2901 Metro brive, Suite 525 OCT 1 B 2000 Bloomington, MN 2;5425 Airport Development Dear Mr. Ryan: Enclosed are the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) detailed comments on the cost-benefit study (Study)of proposed restrictions at Flying Cloud Airport (FCM), Eden Prairie, Minnesota. As discussed below, there are three basic issues that need to be resolved to make successful progress on both the airport development and noise mitigation goals of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) at FCM. We believe meetings or working sessions between members of my staff and MAC would be beneficial in resolving these issues, The first issue relates to the ordinance you propose to amend td incorporate additional restrictions. As described in our September 27 letter to you, there ere issues concerning the legality of the basic ordinance and its consistency with your Federal grant obligations. These issues affect the proposed amendments that are subject to Part 161. Second, we need to resolve inconsistencies between the Study and the environmental impact statement (EIS) being prepared for the proposed development at FCM, make sure that the analytical assumptions in the EIS are sound, and determine what, if any, effect the issues raised in our September 27 letter will have on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Third, we need to resolve whether the run-up restriction is subject to Part 161. These types of restrictions are not subject to Part 161 unless they reduce the total number or hours of operation of Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft (14 CFR§ 161.7), The enclosed comments describe the additional information we need to make this determination. 8/E'd 89E'0W WWOD S12JOdNId O4IRW Wd2T:E 0002'2 'AON 2 If you agree that working sessions or meetings would be productive, please contact Mr. Glen Orcutt of the Minneapolis Airports District Office to set up a schedule and agenda so that we may work through these issues to a mutually satisfactory conclusion. Sincerely, Woodie Woodward Acting Associate Administrator for Airports Enclosure • 8'P'd 89E'ON WW00 SJ OddId 0?313W WdET:E 0002'2 'AM 3 DETAILED COMMENTS The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC)proposes to restrict nighttime use of the airport(between 11 p.m, and 6 a.m.)to only aircraft certificated as Stage 3. In addition, MAC has included an analysis of a proposed nighttime maintenance run-up restriction on all aircraft using FCM. Proposed Nighttime Maintenance Run-up Restriction Applicability of Part.161 (section 161.7). The FAA has evaluated the information provided by MAC that discusses the maintenance run-up restriction and it is not clear whether Part 161 applies to this restriction, Section 161.7(a) specifically provides that it does not apply to "Other noise abatement procedures, such as taxiing and engine run-ups,...unless the procedures imposed limit the total number of Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft operations, or limit the hours of Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft operations, at the airport. Thus,the applicability of Part 161 hinges on whether the run-up restriction would reduce, or limit the hours of, individual aircraft operations. The Study is sparse; there is insufficient information for the FAA to make the necessary assessment. For example, the surveys do not comport with the statement on page 2 of the Study that the restriction will impact Stage 3 aircraft operations. The first survey, of based Stage 3 operators, states that the nighttime run-up restriction will not impact their operations. There is insufficient information in that survey to determine how impacts on individual Fixed Base Operators translate into a limit on Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft operations. The Study needs to disclose how the run-up restriction would impact on individual operations of Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft that are owned and operated by the FBOs, and the estimated costs associated with such operational impacts. For example, the FAA would like to see in the revised analysis the historical pattern of business, schedule, numbers and types of operations (by stage of aircraft)of the FBOs which own aircraft and other evidence of possible impact on Stage 2 and Stage 3 aircraft operations. Without this additional analysis,the FAA cannot determine whether Part 161 applies to the maintenance run-up restriction. Once the additional analysis is received, we will review the run-up restriction for compliance with MAC's Federal obligation to provide reasonable access (Assurance 22). Determination of Completeness (section 161.313), Assuming that Part 161 Subpart D applies, the Study is incomplete in the following respects: /6 8rS'd 89E'0W WW00 S1e1OddIe O?al RW WdET:E 0002'2 'AOW 4 • MAC has not provided the actual text of the proposed run-up restriction, as required by section 161.305(a). • The maps provided by MAC do not denote the geographic boundaries of each jurisdiction that controls land use within the airport noise study area, as required by section 161.305(b). • MAC has not provided environmental documentation under the National Environmental Policy Act, as required by section 161.305(c). • In addition to the analysis required by section 161.305(e), MAC must submit a summary of the evidence supporting the six statutory conditions for approval, as required by section 161.305(d). Also, MAC has not provided sufficient rationale for its determination that these conditions have been met. The rationale should be stated for each condition. • The Study does not include evidence that other available remedies (e.g., relocation of run-up areas, construction of hush-house)are infeasible or would be less cost-effective than the proposed run-up restriction, as required by section 161.305(e)(2)(i)(A)(2). • The Study does not include all the noise contours required by section 161.305(b) and 161.5 (definition of"airport noise study area"), including depiction with and without the proposed restriction. The analysis of the proposed run-up restriction is also inadequate in other respects, The combined analysis of the run-up restriction and the proposed • Stage 2 restriction makes it difficult to distinguish the costs and benefits of each proposed restriction. What costs and benefits are associated specifically with the run-up restriction? An analysis of the present run-up location and impacts to residences should be provided, Some type of analysis may have been conducted to reach the conclusions regarding the six statutory conditions for approval, but that information must be included in the study for the reader to understand how the findings were reached. For example, under condition 1, why are other available remedies judged be infeasible or less cost-effective? It is not clear under condition 5 or in the appendices that MAC notified the parties required to be notified under Part 161; provide supporting documentation. Under condition 6, why are non-aircraft alternatives inappropriate? Which alternatives were considered, and why were they rejected? 11 8/9'd 898'ON MOD STOdellj Oell3W WdET:8 a0az'z 'AON 5 Proposed Stage 2 Nighttime Curfew Compliance with 14 CFR Part 161, Subpart C. The Study included in Appendix B the full text of the existing restriction along with conceptual amendments, but the full text of the proposed restriction needs to be included to satisfy section 161.203(d). The Stage 2 nighttime curfew proposal does not provide the required non- restriction alternatives analysis (section 161.205(a)(3)). For example, as part of a voluntary curfew alternative, MAC is in a particularly strategic position because it owns and operates several alternate general aviation airports in the region. Stage 2 operators could be encouraged to shift their operations at night to an alternate airport in the system. Comments on the Study. The Study does not include baseline (no restriction) noise contours,which would provide a basis of comparison with the noise environment under the proposed restrictions. The Study should provide a baseline noise contour for both the current and forecast timeframes. It would be helpful in understanding impacts to aircraft types If the forecast data were further split by aircraft stages. The purpose and justification for the restriction should be consistent with information in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). This restriction is described in the December 1999 DEIS for the proposed airport development (section Q.3 of DEIS). The EIS process is being done in concert with the Part 161 study (page V-65 of the DEIS), thus one would assume that the data used to develop the DEIS forecasts and noise analysis would be the same for this Part 161 Study. This is not the case, and they need to be reconciled or reasons provided to explain the differences. A review of the documents indicates a discrepancy between the number of forecast Stage 2 operations modeled in the DEIS and the Part 161 Study,-300 and 52'respectively. Similarly,the number of reported night operations for FBO 2 exceeds the total estimated number of night operations at the airport. The Study's benefit estimate shows four residences and eleven residents within the DNL 65 dB contour. The DEIS shows 16 and 45 respectively in Table Q-10, and significantly higher numbers without mitigation, and appears to include voluntary compliance with the nighttime bans on Stage 2 operations and on maintenance run-ups. I)- 8/L'd 89E'ON WOO SleoddIU oa w WdETe8 0002'2 'AON 6 The DEIS does not specify what percentage of compliance is expected with the voluntary restrictions;the Study models 50 % compliance (page 3). This may account for some of the discrepancy between the two studies. • Forecasts .- Forecasts used in the Part 161 Study should be consistent with those contained in the DEIS. The Part 161 study assumes that Stage 2 fleet mix will remain constant through the year 2010, This is a conservative assumption. The forecasts also have yet to be coordinated within FAA to receive approval if they differ significantly from the Terminal Area Forecasts, Benefit Estimation -The airport's Part 161 Study presents tables, sometimes filled with zeroes, of the benefits, costs, their discounted values and the ratio of these values. Part 161 does not require a strict benefit-cost analysis calculation since the value of noise reduction may not be readily quantified. However, we would expect a detailed disclosure of benefits expected to be achieved to justify the need for the restriction. Also, FAA has never approved or endorsed specific assumptions regarding the relationship of aircraft noise and property values. The reporting in this study of one builder's opinion does not conform to generally accepted economic practice. While this may be suggestive, it is not definitive by itself. Cost Estimation -The airport sponsor is confronted with a difficulty in estimating the potential impacts on Stage 2 operators. An additional survey was undertaken of Stage 2 operators across the Great Lakes Region. Three operators of 81 responded that they might utilize FCM in the future at night. It would be helpful for the study to include a description of the survey procedures and instruments. It is difficult to evaluate the utility and representativeness of the survey findings. We do not know how representative their responses are for the 70 non-responding operators. The use of this information to determine adverse impacts is speculative under these circumstances. A sensitivity analysis should be applied given the range of uncertainty in this circumstance. • • 13 8/8'd 89E'0N MOD SlNOdNIU OflW WdiI:E 0002'2 'AON METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION ORDINANCE NO. 51 An Ordinance of the Metropolitan Airports Commission relating to the.management and . operation of its airports, adopted to promote the public health, peace, welfare and safe operations; restricting the operations of jet aircraft at and from Flying Cloud Airport; and prescribing the penalties for violation thereof. • • The Metropolitan Airports Commission, sometimes referred to as the Minneapolis—St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission, does ordain: Section 1.

Lambert Director ` Requested Action Move to: Authorize staff to enter into a contact with Greener Pastures Development Corporation, Inc. to treat Round Lake and the detention ponds directly serving Round Lake to bring the water quality to a TSI reading of 38 or less by September 1, 2001, and further to petition the Riley/Purgatory Creek/ Bluff Watershed District to consider sharing the cost of this pollution reduction effort and conducting a water quality monitoring before, during, and after treatment in the summer of 2001. Synopsis On June 6, 2000,the City Council authorized staff to enter into a contract with Greener Pastures Development Corporation to treat Round Lake during the summer of 2000. At that time, Greener Pastures was relatively certain they would be able to obtain a permit within "a few days." The permit process included the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Agriculture, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the Department of Health. The City of Eden Prairie was notified on August 22, 2000 that the experimental treatment of Round Lake and upstream storm water detention basins within the City of Eden Prairie was approved. By this time, staff determined that it was too late in the season to determine how effective the products were at biologically reducing nutrient levels in the lake and detention ponds. Staff are recommending proceeding with the use of these products in the spring of 2001 and opening the beach for public use during normal times of mid-June until the end of August. Staff recommends transferring the unused operational funds for 2000 to the 2001 budget to fund this project. Staff further recommends the City request the Watershed District to consider assisting in the funding of this project. Background There are two major issues that have to be addressed prior to improving the water quality at Round Lake. - City Council Agenda 11/7/2000 Round Lake Water Quality Program Update Page 2 1. ' Reducing phosphorous levels in the lake. 2. Reducing the impact of geese on the swimming beach. City staff believes there is a high probability that the use of biological controls as proposed by Greener Pastures can significantly reduce phosphorous levels in Round Lake and will provide dramatic improvement to water clarity and water quality. During the summer of 2000 staff have initiated steps to address the goose problem at Round Lake through the following: 1. Initiated an annual goose removal program that will continue each year to remove geese nesting in Round Lake and the immediate adjacent wetlands. This will remove geese during their flightless period from mid June until the first of August. 2. The City has constructed a fence around the swimming beach area and will be installing a floating barrier around the swimming beach portion of the lake. This floating barrier will require geese to fly over or attempt to climb over a floating barrier into the swimming beach. The City will use a variety of tactics to discourage geese from wanting to be within that area. The main tactic will be the use of a dog to harass geese on the beach or in the water in the defined swimming area. The dog will be used from August lst to Labor Day at various times of the day. These tactics seem to be fairly effective at the Hennepin Parks swimming beaches where geese have been a problem in the past. Staff will continue to evaluate other methods for treating water and discouraging geese to use this area, and will report the results of these efforts at the end of the year. BL:mdd H:U.ambert 20001Round Lake Water Quality Update CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2000 SECTION: Reports of Director Parks and Recreation Services SERVICE AREA/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: Settler's Ridge Tree ITEM NO: Parks and Recreation Removal&Mitigation Report—Phase II Trrr Robert A.Lambert Director Report of Action • Background First Incident—Tree Removal On August 16, 2000 staff first discovered over 400 trees, of one inch in diameter or greater, had been cut down, plus 138 sumac over one inch in diameter, had also been cut down from the Settler's Ridge Development. At that the time, the developer indicated a tree contractor had been directed to remove dead elms and some of the trees damaged during construction. The tree service owner sent two inexperienced employees to the site to remove trees.. The lack of communication resulted in a tree mass totaling over 1963 inches lost plus an additional 270 inches of sumac. The developer agreed to replace all of the vegetation on a inch per caliper inch basis following a City staff approved tree replacement plan. On September 5th the staff reported the incident to the City Council at the regular Council meeting. Second Incident—Tree Removal During the week of September 18th staff discovered additional trees that had been removed from Settler's Ridge many of which were removed the previous week prior to the Parade of Homes. One hundred and twenty three additional trees totaling 713 diameter inches were cut on City property without authorization. The following list indicated the number of trees that were cut behind various lots: 1. 18221 Frontier Place—two tree totaling 19 diameter inches 2. 18317 Frontier Place'—11 trees totaling 57 diameter inches 3. 18329 Frontier Place—4 trees totaling 22 diameter inches City Council Agenda 11/7/2000 Preserve Park Renovation 2 4. 19659 Vogel Farm Trail—55 trees totaling 334 diameter inches 5. 18667 Vogel Farm Trail— 10 trees totaling 64 diameter inches 6. 18691 Vogel Farm Trail—9 trees totaling 51 diameter inches 7. 18715 Vogel Farm Trail— 18 trees totaling 118 diameter inches 8. 18763 Vogel Farm Trail— 14 trees totaling 66 diameter inches Illegal Grading City staff also notified the developer that there was a significant amount of illegal grading on City property and there were graded lots that did not conform to the approved grading plan and will cause erosion at the top of the bluffs. In one incident, Stuart Fox talked to one individual prior to sodding and explained that the home builder had graded approximately 50 feet onto City property and was preparing to sod on City property. He clarified that the homebuilder would have to restore the native grasses on the City property and remove irrigation lines on City property. The next day, Mr. Fox returned to the site and found that the contractor had sodded 50 feet on to City property. Commitments to Repair and Protect City Property On September 26th, City staff met with Dan Herbst, of Pemtom Corporation, and John Carlson, from Westwood Engineering, to discuss the grading and tree loss issues at Settler's Ridge. Mr. Herbst agreed to contact all of the builders and property owners within Settler's Ridge to obtain information on who is responsible for the illegal removal of trees on City property, and to inform builders of the illegal grading that had to be corrected. On September 28th, Mr. Herbst sent a letter to the City offering to accept the responsibility for all tree loss and illegal grading in order to allow the City to only have to coordinate tree replacement plans and regrading through one individual. On October 3rd staff submitted a letter to Mr. Herbst outlining the following requirements for repair of the City property and protection of the bluff. 1. All downed trees, branches, shrubs, etc. that were cut on City property had to be removed as quickly as possible. 2. All trees and shrubs had to be replaced on a inch per caliper inch basis by a plan that is approved by City staff. City staff recognize that there is no incentive for the builder or homeowners to keep the trees alive; therefore, staff will be requiring that Pemtom provide a two-year bond to ensure all trees and shrubs remain alive. The trees will be planted in a conservation easement or on. City property to ensure they are not trimmed or removed after the two-year bonding period. The conservation easements must be filed prior to December 1, 2000. 2 City Council Agenda 11/7/2000 Preserve Park Renovation 3 The amount of the bond for replacement of trees and shrubs will be figured at $100 per caliper inch and totals $294,700. The total bond for the replacement of trees first discovered in August is$223,400. The bond for the trees discovered in mid-September is an additional$71,300. The bond must be submitted to the City no later than November 15, 2000. 3. All lots have to be regraded to conform to the approved grading plan prior to freeze up in the fall of 2000. All sod and irrigation lines on City property must be removed within three weeks and native grasses planted on City property prior to November 15, 2000. 4. City staff discussed the possible need for a fence along .the City property line to help ensure protection of City property. The developer opposes the concept of a fence and believes that the property owners will police themselves regarding future encroachment on City property. He points out that he will mark all City property lines with markers that have signs warning people not to dump grass clippings or trim trees. Signs also need to be posted defining conservation easement lines with warnings that no trees can be cut or trimmed beyond that line without City approval. Staff supports the use of property line and easement markers at this time. If future property owners begin to encroach onto City property staff will recommend construction of a fence. Tree Replacement Plan On October 30th 2000 City staff reviewed and approved the tree replacement plan submitted by Pemtom Development. Pemtom is in the process of planting those trees this week.

Midwest Asphalt will be contacting your office in the very near future to determine when all of your construction work has been completed. We will then remove and rebuild that section of the road. Grading: All five builders at Settlers Ridge have commenced the re-grading of their rear lot lines or have plans prepared to do so at the earliest. To ensure this will not happen in the future, both Lundgren Bros. and Pemtom will review each lot•survey prior to approving a sale. The surveys are computer driven off of the grading plan and because the rear berm was only a one foot designated berm and the drainage arrows, which are printed mechanically, extended over the storm sewer easement pointing towards the bluffs, it would lead an excavating contractor to misinterpret where the drainage is supposed to go. (See attached) We will ensure that all • of the surveys on future lots are reviewed and corrected. • Removal of Downed Trees: . In my recent inspection of the property, I believe all of the downed trees have been removed. If that is not accurate,have Stu Fox call me and I will have the contractor return to the site immediately. • ` / Robert Lambert October 30, 2000 Page 2 Replanting Plan and Bonding: Included with this letter is the Replanting Plan which, if approved by you,will commence immediately and as many trees as possible will be installed this fall. In lieu of the normal one-year bond,we will agree to provide a two-year bond,but after twelve months I would like the City, the landscape contractor, and the undersigned to review the conditions of all of the planted vegetation to determine if a bond reduction is appropriate. A three to five year bond is unfair. Fencing: • The installation of fencing will cause additional tree loss and/or root damage and will not act as a deterrent to a determined homeowner who wants to dump grass clippings and leaves or trim trees. I believe it also would be inappropriate since I know you want the area to look and feel like a conservation area. As I previously indicated, we will agree to install lot corner posts with appropriate signage indicating"City Property—No Trimming —No Dumping". Future Preventative Actions: The following actions will be taken not only at Settlers Ridge, but also on any future Pemtom neighborhoods abutting conservation areas. A. All lot buyers/builders will be put on notice through our Disclosure Statement relative to the seriousness of trespassing,grading,tree removal, and dumping on any conservation easement or adjacent public areas. B. All individual lot surveys abutting public or conservation areas will have review by both Pemtom and Westwood Professional Services to ensure drainage and conservation areas are properly protected. C. Westwood inspectors will not only review the development side of Pemtom neighborhoods,but will also inspect rear yards and finish grading of builders D. A specific letter will be sent to each builder relative to the issues above addressing the seriousness of those issues and the penalties that could be imposed by the City in the future. The Settlers Ridge builders will be paying their pro rata share of the costs of re-grading, re-seeding, tree replacement, and bonding. 5 Robert Lambert October 30,2000 Page 3 I fully understand the seriousness of the above issues and how unsettling and upsetting this issue has been for you. There is no question that some very stupid things were done, mostly with my own subcontrators in the 561 Addition, and by the builder's subcontractors. I can assure you there was no malice intended on anyone's part,but was the result of poor decisions and miscommunication. The builders and Pemtom are committed to ensure none of this will occur in the future. Sincerely, PEM O A CO ANY Daniel J.

Lambert Director 0 Report of Action Background First Incident—Tree Removal On August 16, 2000 staff first discovered over 400 trees, of one inch in diameter or greater, had been cut down, plus 138 sumac over one inch in diameter, had also been cut down from the Settler's Ridge Development. At that the time, the developer indicated a tree contractor had been directed to remove dead elms and some of the trees damaged during construction. The tree service owner sent two inexperienced employees to the site to remove trees.. The lack of communication resulted in a tree mass totaling over 1963 inches lost plus an additional 270 inches of sumac. The developer agreed to replace all of the vegetation on a inch per caliper inch basis following a City staff approved tree replacement plan. On September 5th the staff reported the incident to the City Council at the regular Council meeting. Second Incident—Tree Removal During the week of September 18th staff discovered additional trees that had been removed from Settler's Ridge many of which were removed the previous week prior to the Parade of Homes. One hundred and twenty three additional trees totaling 713 diameter inches were cut on City property without authorization. The following list indicated the number of trees that were cut behind various lots: 1. 18221 Frontier Place—two tree totaling 19 diameter inches 2. 18317 Frontier Place— 11 trees totaling 57 diameter inches 3. 18329 Frontier Place—4 trees totaling 22 diameter inches 4. 19659 Vogel Farm Trail—55 trees totaling 334 diameter inches City Council Agenda 11/7/2000 Preserve Park Renovation 2 5. 18667 Vogel Farm Trail—10 trees totaling 64 diameter inches 6. 18691 Vogel Farm Trail—9 trees totaling 51 diameter inches 7. 18715 Vogel Farm Trail— 18 trees totaling 118 diameter inches 8. 18763 Vogel Farm Trail— 14 trees totaling 66 diameter inches Illegal Grading City staff also notified the developer that there was a significant amount of illegal grading on City property and there were graded lots that did not,conform to the approved grading plan and will cause erosion at the top of the bluffs. In one incident, Stuart Fox talked to one individual prior to sodding and explained that the home builder had graded approximately 50 feet onto City property and was preparing to sod on City property. He clarified that the homebuilder would have to restore the native grasses on the City property and remove irrigation lines on City property. The next day, Mr. Fox returned to the site and found that the contractor had sodded 50 feet on to City property. Commitments to Repair and Protect City Property On September 26th, City staff met with Dan Herbst, of Pemtom Corporation, and John Carlson, from Westwood Engineering, to discuss the grading and tree loss issues at Settler's Ridge. Mr. Herbst agreed to contact all of the builders and property owners within Settler's Ridge to obtain information on who is responsible for the illegal removal of trees on City property, and to inform builders of the illegal grading that had to be corrected. On September 28th, Mr. Herbst sent a letter to the City offering to accept the responsibility for all tree loss and illegal grading in order to allow the City to only have to coordinate tree replacement plans and regrading through one individual. On October 3rd staff submitted a letter to Mr. Herbst outlining the following requirements for repair of the City property and protection of the bluff. 1. All downed trees,branches, shrubs, etc. that were cut on City property had to be removed as quickly as possible. 2. All trees and shrubs had to be replaced on a inch per caliper inch basis by a plan that is approved by City staff. City staff recognize that there is no incentive for the builder or homeowners to keep the trees alive; therefore, staff will be requiring that Pemtom provide a two-year bond to ensure all trees and shrubs remain alive. The trees will be planted in a conservation easement or on City property to ensure they are not trimmed or removed after the two-year bonding period. The conservation easements must be filed prior to December 1,2000. The amount of the bond for replacement of trees and shrubs will be figured at $100 per caliper inch and totals $294,700. The total bond for the replacement of trees first CITY COUNCIL AGENDA • DATE: November 7, 2000 • SECTION: Reports of Director Parks and Recreation Services SERVICE AREA/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: Proposed Skateboard ITEM NO: Parks and Recreation Park at Round Lake Park Robert A.Lambert Director X it L-, C, 3 ,• Requested Action Move to: Approve the development of a skateboard park within Round Lake Park to be funded from cash park fees. Synopsis At the September 13, 2000 meeting, the Community Program Board recommended the City Council consider development of a skateboard park within the park system to be funded from cash park fees. On October 18, 2000, the Community Planning Board recommended approval of a site within Round Lake Park for the development of a skateboard park. Background Attached to this memorandum are memos to the Community Program Board outlining safety issues and legal considerations, as well as information on the popularity of skateboard parks throughout the state and the nation. Also, attached to this memo is a memorandum to the Community Planning Board describing the proposed location of the skateboard facility within Round Lake Park. If the Council decides to approve the development of this facility, City staff would recommend meeting with young people in the community interested in skateboarding to discuss the design of the facility within the guidelines established by the City Council. Staff recommends the Council approve a tier one concept (all ramps, rails, and jumps at a height of 36 inches or lower). Staff would also recommend a budget of $35,000 for the development of the facility utilizing approximately $10,000 for development of the asphalt pad and approximately $25,000 for purchase of the ramps and jumps. If this facility is constructed, staff would recommend construction to begin in the spring of 2001 with a goal of having the facility completed by the first of July 2001. BL:mdd H:\Lambert 2000\Skateboard to Council Memo MEMORANDUM To: Community Planning Board Through: Bob Lambert, Director Parks and Recreation Services From: Stuart A.Fox,Manager Parks and Natural Resources Date: October 18,2000 Subject: Proposed Skateboard Park at Round Lake Park Requested Action • Move to: Approve the site location of a skateboard park at Round Lake Park. Synopsis For the past two years, City staff has received requests regarding the development of a skateboard park somewhere within the park system. Staff has researched the development of a skateboard park and that information is attached to this memo. Staff is recommending the use of cash park fees to fund a skateboard park in Round Lake Park. • Background Currently, skateboard activities occur in many.Eden Prairie parks and most of it occurs on areas not designated for skateboards such as tennis courts and picnic pavilion plazas. This activity has been extremely popular and several surrounding communities have taken steps to develop skateboard parks for use by individuals that skateboard and roller blade. The staff is proposing to utilize an area approximately 75 feet by 100 feet adjacent to a parking lot at Round Lake Park. (See attached map) The development of this area would require minor grading to establish as bituminous surface on which to place the ramps and various other equipment. Specific layout and types of ramps etc. would be determined after meeting with school age students,if approved by the City Council. Following review by the Community Planning Board, this proposal will be directed to the City Council for approval of the concept and funding. The staff anticipates that the construction will begin in the spring of 2001.

Synopsis At the August 22, 2000 meeting, the Community Program Board continued the discussion regarding a possible skateboard park in Eden Prairie, and requested staff to provide additional information regarding safety issues and legal considerations, and investigate potential for developing a Skateboard Association. Safety Issues and Legal Considerations Attached to this memorandum is a report from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust regarding skateboarding and aggressive inline skating in Minnesota. A summary of the report is provided on the first page, which states "tier one skate parks with all ramps generally less than three feet total height will not be charged a premium. Such facilities do not need to be fenced or supervised." The recreation staff have indicated that if a skateboard park is developed within Eden Prairie, the City staff will develop instructional programs.for skateboarders to teach basic safety techniques for utilizing the facility. Staff would also recommend providing clinics with professional or semi professional skateboarders and small scale competitions for local skateboarders that would encourage safe use of facilities, the- use of helmets and other- appropriate protection, and understanding safe techniques for utilizing the various ramps,rails, etc. Developing a Skateboard Association The City of Eden Prairie staff have not "developed" any of the 14 Youth Athletic Associations active in Eden Prairie today. Staff do believe it would be a good idea to hold an information meeting regarding the skateboard park with interested parents prior to opening the skateboard park simply to provide information on types of safety gear that should be required, as well as information on the hours of operation and the possibility of providing lessons, clinics, tournaments, etc. At such a meeting, if parents were interested in developing an association that initiated clinics, tournaments, or instruction, staff would provide assistance in getting an organization started. 5 Proposed Steps for Developing Skateboard Park Staff would recommend the following steps, if the Program Board recommends development of a skateboard park in Eden Prairie: 1. _ Submit a proposed site plan to the Planning Commission providing a recommended site, as well as other possible sites. List pros and cons of various sites. 2. If approved by Planning Commission, forward the recommendation to the City Council for"preliminary approval." 3. Hold a public meeting, inviting skateboarders to provide input on design. Let them know of financial limitations and encourage them to raise money for the project. Suggest the project be done in phases as funds are raised. 4. Go back to City Council with final design and phasing plan. Also, attached to this memorandum are some additional articles on skateboard parks that have been published since the August 22nd meeting.

Unfortunately,young skaters seem to assume that the police and city are out to get them by criminalizing their activity.However,the truth of the matter is that local governments have a responsibility to regulate this sport.Aggressive skating enthusiasts need to recognize that local governments are creating regulations on aggressive skating in the best interest of community members as a whole,and more importantly,for the safety of skaters.To keep skaters off the street,communities have been looking into the possibility of creating skate parks. • What* a skate park? A skate park provides artificially constructed structures for the aggressive skater to practice their sport. Benefits of constructing skate parks include:reducing conflicts between youth and authorities;.skaters are given a safe place to practice their sport;and property damage to public and private property should be reduced.To ensure that skaters will practice at these facilities,it is important for local governments to: 1) work with local skaters in developing a facility;and 2)pass ordinances banning aggressive skating in other places.There are basically three types of skate park structures,as follows: Half-pipe structures This equipment is shaped like a AUe and can range from 2-10 feet high.The half pipe pictured to the right purposely does not have a staircase to the platform area;this measure deters unskilled skaters from using the ramp.Through speaking with young skaters(between 11-13 years-old),I found that they did not have enough body mass to be able to use a large half pipeC nor should they try given their inexperience.It is important that skaters with beginning to intermediate experience get a chance to develop their skills before attempting advanced - • equipment. In the opinion of an experienced parks manager,large advanced- ramps should be assessable to only those of advanced experience 1 • and superior athletic ability and physical conditioning.'Ramps as large as the one pictured above do not appear to be the type of activity your average community parks and recreation department should be engaged in.

The size should not be less than 12,000 sq.ft nor need to be greater than 15,000 sq.ft ! Construction costs should be approximately$8.00 per sq.ft.and include labor,materials,and profits • for the contractor; The ideal location for a facility is in an existing or new park with access to restrooms,drinking fountains,and shade trees;and Different levels of the skaters abilities must be considered which can be accomplished by the height, width,.and slope of structures.4 History Aggressive in-line skating and skateboarding have had very separate histories.In-line skating is currently the fastest growing sport in the United States.In 1996,there was an estimated 27.5 million in-line skaters in the United States alone.5 To put that figure into perspective,the sport has grown 700%since 1990 which had an estimated 3.6 million skaters.In-line skating is evolving into several forms which include:dance skating, roller basketball,roller hockey,and aggressive in-line skating.Aggressive in-line skating is loosely based on skateboarding.Skaters slide on their skates down banisters,rails,and ramps much like a skateboarder.This method of in-line skating has been labeled Aextremee orAverte*sting.According to the International In-line Skating Association,the aggressive skating category constituted 8%of all 1996 skate and accessory sales. 2 • • • Skateboarding has been popular for about 30 years and has seen big-advancements in equipment.In 1974 the sport was revolutionized with the invention ofthe urethan skateboard wheel.It seems that the popularity of• skateboards has come in waves,although interest in the sport has remained strong in the 1990s.While the age range of most skateboarders is from 10 to the mid-20s,the majority of skaters are.in the 14 to 18 year-old range and almost exclusively male 6 Because the majority of skateboarders have had to learn their skills on city streets,sidewalks,and other public and private places,the sport has caught the attention of local government officials around the nation. Most skateboarders are aware that there is a risk factor present while riding a skateboard and many will accept injury with complacency.In fact,it has been recognized that it is the presence of the risk which has a predominant influence in luring certain individuals into the activity.Injuries and pain may even enhance the skateboard riders=image and peer acceptance.Tmage is a major obstacle for aggressive skating enthusiasts who are trying to get community leaders to listen to them.Because people in general have misconceptions about those involved in aggressive skating,skaters have had difficulty getting people to sympathize with their issues. Injuries and warnings Aggressive skating is a potentially dangerous sport.The U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission • conducted a detailed analysis of the sport of skateboarding and estimates that more than 80,000 persons need hospital emergency room treatment each year.They found that skateboarding requires more complex motor skills than other sports activities in recent history.It is not surprising thatteens are the most avid skateboarders.This study noted that the maximum amount of motor skills are found in individuals that have hit puberty;however,the aging process beyond the teens can begin to affect skateboard riding performance.It is recommended that children younger than 5 years of age should not use skateboards.8 Regardless of age,experience is a key factor in reducing the likelihood of injury.In this study,they found that one-third of the those who sustained an injury had been skating for less than one week.Most of these had an injury the first time they tried skateboarding!Furthermore,two out of every five injuries were to persons using borrowed skateboards. The U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commissions'study noted that environmental controls for skateboarding were found to reduce the likelihood of injury from occurring by perhaps 35%. Irregular riding surfaces accounted for over half of skateboarding injuries due to falls."Injuries are usually the result of direct impact after a fall and were found to be frequent and severe.Because injuries have involved internal organs,joints,and the head,they are of particular significance for their potential severity. In-depth investigation indicated that in almost all cases,protective equipment was not being worn by the victim at the lime of the accident.Furthermore,it stated,lithe wearing of protective equipment could undoubtedly reduce both the frequency and the severity of skateboard related injuries.e Equipment that should be worn includes:a helmet,wrist yards,knee pads and elbow pads. • To place skateboarding in to perspective with other similar sports,a study conducted by.the American • 3 Medical Association found that for every in-line skating injury(regular in-line skating),approximately 3.3 rollerskating and 1.2 skateboarding injuries occurred.The use of in-line skates and skateboards leads to a significant number of wrist injuries,approximately 37%of in-line skating and 19%of skateboarding injuries reported.Head injuries of any severity constituted 4.8%of all principal injuries among in-line skaters,3.8% among rollerskaters,and 6.9%among skateboarders(and 11.8%among bicyclists).11 The issue of protection against head injury is particularly important because of the potential for long-term disability. As to the risk of injury exposure,or which of these three sports is most hazardous,the study noted that it was unable to draw a sound conclusion because there is not reliable information on participation levels for these sports outside of market surveys.One nationwide survey they did choose to mention,estimated that in 1992 there were 211.5 million in-line skating participant-days(9.4 million participants engaged for an average of 22.5 days of participation per person per year)—compared to 238.6 million participant-days for skateboarders(6.5 million participants engaged for an average of 36.7 days per person per year).12 Aggressive skating enthusiasts need to understand the potential for harm if in-line skating and skateboarding are not approached•with caution.From January 1992 to September 1997,the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System(NEISS)reported a total of 52lities resulting from in-line skating in general;approximately 85%ofthose deaths were the direct result of head injuries,63%of the deaths resulted from being struck by a moving vehicle,5%were as a result ofAskitchinge(clinging to vehicles),and 60%of those killed were less than 15 years old.13(From January 1996 to September 1997,there were 15 deaths.)In regards to skateboarding,from January 1996 to December 1997 NEISS gathered information on 23 deaths;40%of these fatalities involved motor vehicles;30%of those killed were less than 15 years old. The U.S.Consumer Products Safety Commission stated in its hard analysis of skateboards,the following: ABecause there is an element of risk in the sport itself,even optimum conditions will not completely preclude accidental injury.An experienced skateboarder,wearing full protective equipment and riding a well engineered and maintained skateboard in a carefully controlled environment is still at risk for injury or death.The probability may be reduced but the risk cannot be completely • eliminatede14 Minnesota* park and recreation immunity, tort limits, and liability issues • To protect municipalities from liability exposure due to injuries that may occur at parks or recreational facilities,the Minnesota Legislature passed statutory language that would do so.The recreational use statute restricts liability for Minnesota cities.Minnesota Statute '466.03,subd.6(e),grants cities immunity, from: Any claim based upon the construction,operation,or maintenance of any property owned or leased by the municipality that is intended or permitted to be used as a park,as an open area for recreational purposes or for the provision of recreational services. . .if the claim arises from a loss incurred by a user of park and recreation property or services.Nothing in this subdivision limits the liability of a municipality for conduct that would entitle a trespasser to damages against a private person. • i3 In addition,NTinn.Stat. ' 466.03,subd.15,provides that a municipality is immune from liability for any claim against a municipality ifthe same claim would be excluded under NTmn.Stat. ' 3.376 if brought against the state. The recreational use immunity has one exception:there is no limitation of liability if the Amunicipality conduct would entitle a trespasser to damages against a private person,It provides: A possessor of land,who knows,or from facts within his knowledge should know,that trespassers constantly intrude upon a limited area of the land,is subject to liability for bodily harm caused to them by an artificial condition on the land,if: (a) The condition (I) is one which the possessor has created or maintained,and (id) is,to his knowledge,Rely to cause death or serious bodily harm to such trespassers, and (iii) is of such a nature that he has reason to believe that such trespassers will not discover it,.and (b) The possessor has failed to exercise reasonable care to warn such trespassers of the condition and the risk involved. Under this standard,a landowner will be liable only for failing to exercise reasonable care to warn trespassers. about hidden,artificial dangers created or Tusintained by the landowner.In addition,actual knowledge that the condition created a danger of death or serious bodily harm is required before an exception to the immunity is established. This statute does not ensure that a claim against the city will not arise.Plaintiffs will bring suits against local governments trying to prove the exception to the rule applies to their particular situation.To control the cost of litigation for local governments,municipal tort liability limits have been regulated by the Minnesota Legislature.A 1997 law increased the municipal tort liability limits to$300,000 per claimant,and$750,000 per occurrence,effective January 1,1998.The per-occurrence limit will increase again to$1,000,000 January 1,2000.The previous limits of$200,000 per claimant and$600,000 per occurrence had been in effect since ' 1984. Potential liability exposure can go beyond that of participants simply falling.Additional liability theories include: Injuries suffered by a bystander or spectator; ! Improper design,construction or manufacturing defects; Negligence based on irregularities in the skating surface due to wear or vandalism,in conjunction with a failure to repair; 5 • 1Ll Claims could be based on failure to warn or based on products liability(i.e.,if boards or safety equipment is rented or provided);and Injuries caused by a co-participant may give rise to claims involving failure to supervise. Because courts in Minnesota have ruled against cities who claimed protection under the park and recreation immunity,municipal governments have to protect themselves against these types of liability exposures. What are the options for a municipal government? Basically,local governments have two options in regards to building a skate park. Option 1. The city could build a skate park by itself and operate it as a part of their parks and recreation department.Skate parks within the ATIER Ie category will not be charged an additional premium.If the city chooses to build a ATIER He skate park,it can obtain insurance through LMCIT with an additional premium charge or assume the risk of the skate park by self-insuring. The prime example of a Minnesota city that decided to build an aggressive skating facility is in Roseville. The John Rose Minnesota Oval is a$6 million facility that was originally designed for speed ice skating during the winter.Since the space was being unused during the summer months,city officials agreed to building a skate park within the oval.The city paid 80%of the$60,000 necessary to build the skate park and Ultra Wheels,an in-line skate company and major sponsor at the Oval,paid the other 20%.15 The Roseville facility contains a 26,000 square foot skate park which is comprised of an assortment of ramps,rails and pipes.In addition,the facility contains an in-line-skating hockey arena and a track around the park for nonaggressive skaters to use.Each person admitted into the park must sign and review liability waivers;which are then kept on file.Skaters are required to wear a helmet,wrist guards,knee pads and elbow pads.All employees are trained to enforce rules of the park,and additionally,are trained in procedures for preventing the spread of infectious diseases transmitted by blood and other potentially infectious materials.It offsets its expenses by charging admission to users.During the summer of 1997,cost for admission was$6 per session for members and$9 for nonmembers(an annual membership was$30). Option 2. The city could choose not to build a facility by itself If skaters are able to organize into a nonprofit association,the group could build and maintain the skate park.By leasing(or selling)land to the group to construct and run a facility,the city would be able to transfer liability risks to the association.The contract between the city and the association should contain proper hold harmless/indemnification language and requirements for the group to have sufficient insurance.Because it takes some time for skaters to organize, and since the majority of skaters are between 14-18 years of age,youth who originally get involved in the process may be too old to reap the rewards of a skate park once it is finally 6 15 • created. •• An example of this approach is found in the relationship between Mankato and the Mankato Area Skateboard Association(MASA).After 2 2 years of setbacks,in 1993 this nonprofit association was able to convince the City of Mankato to donate land for a Aroller sports facility.They needed to raise$121,000 to build the in- door facility which is now know as the AWoodworks.e The group offers membership to everyone,however,they do have three stipulations: 1)members have to complete and sign a membership agreement and liability waiver;2)they must complete a two-hour drug/ alcohol education program presented by the Mankato Department of Public Safety;and 3)members must ' remain drug/alcohol free while a member and keep the facility drug/alcohol free.Adult volunteers supervise the facility while it is open for operation. Benefits of working with a nonprofit association can include:skaters will have an investment in seeing the facility succeed;and because skaters are intimately involved in the creation of the facility,the park will offer equipment able to keep their interest.In addition to MASA,four other local aggressive skating associations • have been identified,as follows: Austin Area Skaters:Association(AASA)The Austin Area Skaters=Association went before the . city council asking for it to sell to the group a piece of land from a city park.The city wants to lease the land to AASA with the stipulation that the association has a$1 million insurance policy indemnifying the city.The board does not want to sell the land because the city may want to develop it in the future.The council has not come to a conclusion on the matter. • ! Bemidji Skate and Bike Association After the.city council banned skateboarding and in-line skating on most surfaces in the city,community youth approached the council for a facility.The council declined the request because ofliability concerns and advised the group to organize and arrange for their own facility.Local youth formed the Bemidji Skate and Bike Association with the help of the city s Healthy Community/Health Kids Organization.Through a community partnership and that of a local business owner,the group was able to create a park.The association raised$20,000 in the community and a business owner added$35,000-$40,000 of his own to create a facility. • • ! Burnsville Skateboard Park,Inc The group was able to arrange an agreement with the Burnsville city council to rent land from the city for$1.The association will need to secure separate insurance to indemnify the city from liability.This group hopes to construct a 10,000 square foot, 16-ramp aggressive skating facility.They need to raise$30,000 to build the facility—as of early September 1997,the group had only raised$13,000 over 15 months.To assist the group,the Burnsville city council approved$10,000 to be contributed to the skate park.Furthermore,the group has found private backing from Pepsi Cola and Knox Lumber.Once planned to be a seasonal venture, developments focusing on a youth center at the former maintenance building could enable the skate park to operate year round.The project will be designed for skateboarders,in-line skaters and bicyclists of all abilities. St. Cloud Skate Park Association The St.Cloud Skate Park Association came into being with the help ofthe Healthy Communities/Healthy Kids initiative.This association is comprised of 60 youth 7 • I6 • and adults interested in-establishing a permanent indoor facility.They have both an adult and youth board of directors.The group developed goals and objectives,both long and short term,to resolve - the problems facing these Aalternative athletes.@ The group has worked with the St.Cloud parks and recreation department to investigate possible sites for a temporary skate park.To raise funds for the park,the group conducted car washes and door knocking.Ideally they would like to construct a year- round facility. What* happening around Minnesota? • As stated earlier,many communities are receiving complaints from businesses and citizens.Complaint;have been in regards to vandalism,littering,and damage to private property.In addition,skaters damage public . • street curbs,sidewalks and benches.Many cities are having problems with aggressive skaters practicing in business districts.Not only are business owners upset,citizens in the community are reporting Aclose encounters@ with skaters.Being that skateboards can become dangerous projectiles if riders loose control over them,the boards pose a Threat to individuals passing by the activity.Cities are finding that they have an obligation to step in and regulate the activity. • • Ordinances being passed around the state have been banning the following areas for aggressive skaters: • Parking lots owned by the city,county;state or federal governments • Privately owned parking lots without written permission • • • Public tennis courts • • Streets,alleys,or sidewalks within business districts • Anywhere within the city.limits while being pushed,pulled,or in any way propelled by a motorized vehicle(known as Askitchinge),a person,bicyclist or an animal • Anywhere on public streets while more than two abreast • Anywhere on public streets while pushing,passing,or throwing any object between two or more operators of roller devices • In any manner that is likely to endanger any other person or property • Any public street or road where the speed limit is in excess of 30 mph • Any public street,sidewalk or road after sunset and before sunrise The willingness of city councils to work with community youth and parents is apparent.Although some cities ' may find constructing an aggressive skate park difficult on their own,more are finding ways to work with community members to find solutions.As John Anderson,vice president of the St.Cloud Skate Park Association,put it;AWe hope that the exercise has demonstrated to the kids that not everyone in the community hates them,that some adults recognize their sport as.a.bonafide athletic endeavor even if it doesn=t involve a ball.The adults working in This organization desperately hope that our efforts will demonstrate that the system can respond if prodded appropriately.This whole process has been a civics ' lesson for the kids and many of the parents.e16 • • • What.makes Minnesota different from other states who have these - facilities? There are several states that have addressed the problem of liability exposure for parks and recreational facilities.States like Colorado have statutes that gives across the board immunity for municipalities providing recreational opportunities(with the exception of willful or wanton negligence on the part of government). Other states,such as California and Washington in 1997,specifically identified skateboarding and/or in-line skating,as being aAhazardous recreational activity@ which substantially limits liability exposure for local governments.Because of statutory regulations governing local government parks and recreation,states like Colorado,California,New Hampshire,Washington,Wisconsin,and Virginia have been able eliminate the need for fully supervised,fenced-in facilities. • A study conducted by the National Recreation and Park Association in 1996 examined several skate parks in California,Indiana,and Colorado.They found,Athat there hari been injuries but virtually no claims.Lack of claims has been credited to the acceptance of inherent risk in skateboarding on the part of the participants and their parents;second,the pride of ownership by the users of the facility-they seem to accept that if there are major problems in areas or misuse of the facility,they may lose it forever.Almost without exception, skateboard facilities are not supervised.Not being supervised lessens potential liability exposure to claims resulting from injuries that may occur.@ Although injured parties and their parents do not seem to be filing claims against skate parks in these states,it does not mean that a large claim can not be successfully brought against a local government entity in Minnesota.Because local governments in IVl nnesota are not shielded from liability exposure as in some other states,they need to protect themselves:. • • • • • • Part II: - Loss control guidelines for aggressive skating facilities • As mentioned at the beginning of this document,LMCi'1'does offer member cities liability coverage for skateboard/in-line skating parks.Again,after conducting an in-depth analysis of skate parks,LMCIT has devised a two-tiered approach for covering these facilities. TIER I Skate parks with all ramps generally less than three feet in total height will not be charged a premium. These facilities do not need to be fenced or supervised,although the city may choose to do so.Ramps must have structural integrity and should be constructed according to professional blue prints.Equipment and ramps must be fixed in place and separated by a minimum 10 foot use zone.In addition,youth can not bring their own ramps into the designate skating area. • Signage must be used indicating that personal protective equipment is required to use the parks facility. Required equipment includes:a helmet,wrist guards,and elbow/knee pads.Regulations need to be enforced by the police and/or parks and recreation department by the use of a formal inspection procedure.A weekly maintenance and inspection program must be in place.Depending on the type of ramps and amount of use, inspections may be needed on a daily basis to check for vandalism and wear. TIER II • Facilities with ramps generally greater than three feet in total height will be charged a premium. premiums rates for ATIER II"skate parks will range from$2,500 to$7,500.Factors that will affect the premium charge include: Anticipated attendance levels The size and number of ramps Hours of operation of the facility(i.e.,open a few days a week versus each day) For LMCIT to offer coverage for ATIER IIe skateparks,a number of loss control measures need to be implemented. Although the following guidelines give requirements and recommendations for ATIER • IIe skate parks,those planning a ATIER Ie parkshould review the general themes.If you are considering an aggressive skating facility,the five most important areas to include within your plans are: Environmental controls Supervision Facility rules,regulations,and signage Maintenance and safety inspections • I Enforcement of skaters wearing personal protective gear . 10 19 • Environmental controls Proper assembly and installation of ramps and equipment are crucial for structural integrity,stability and overall safety.People who assemble and install the equipment should not deviate from the manufacturers instructions.After assembly,equipment must be inspected.before its first use:As a precaution,the manufacturers assembly and installation instructions and all other materials collected concerning the equipment should be kept in a permanent file. Design plans for constructing ramps can be obtained through various sources.One source of information regarding skate park ramp design is available through the International In-line SkatingAssociations web page at<httpi/www.iisa.org>.They list several ramp companies and other possible sources of information. LMCIT recommends that aggressive skating be allowed only in designated areas.The following specifics are required for LMCIT coverage of TIER II skate parks: The skating area will need to be completely enclosed by a fence.The fence must provide adequate protection for spectators from flying boards,other debris and/or falling skaters.If open at night,the facility must be adequately lit. ! Skater should never be allowed to bring in their own ramps,handrails,or other structures that could be used to perform stunts. The designated area must be secured by a lock during closed hours. ! Facility rules and regulations,including hours of operation,will be posted in a conspicuous location. Competitions must be restricted to only those sponsoring organizations who are able to provide separate insurance coverage and a contract holding the city harmless and indemnified. Large ramps/half-pipes do not appear to be the type of activity your average community parks and recreation department should be engaged in.Because advanced ramps should be assessable to only those of advanced experience and superior athletic ability,most skaters are nnlikely to be able to use them..Past experiences with other skate parks has been that large half-pipes are not utilized as much as other pieces of equipment In addition,a large half-pipe is the most expensive type of ramp with a cost of more than$20,000. Supervision General supervision,as it specifically relates to safety,stresses there must be adequate staffing for all services and activities.The proposed facility must be supervised at all times when it is open to the general public.The person or supervisor.in charge of the facility must have sufficient knowledge of skateboarding and aggressive in-line skating to enable him/her to review and determine the skill level of skaters.Large advanced ramps should be assessable to only those of advanced experience and physical conditioning. An adequate emergency plan must be developed for the skate parks operation.Staff members will be trained 11 DO • regarding all safety rules and operational procedures.All training and orientation information given to staff members must be documented and kept on file.Supervisors should limit the number of people in the skate area in order to minimize injuries resulting from collisions. The facility director should determine the patron • limit based upon the size of the aggressive skating area,the number of employees on duty,seasonal demand, etc.This will help ensure a safe management ratio between supervisors and users. Since injuries at skate parks can be severe,it is necessary that minimum medical standards be met.Besides having your personnel trained in CPR and first aid,you should have the following readily available: A telephone or radio communications to emergency services such as medical,police,etc. • A complete medial first-aid kit on premises. Ice packs and sanitary towels available. ! An accident report to be completed by facility supervisor on duty following any accident or injury occurring at the facility. A complete accident report should be filed by the skateboard employee on duty following any accident or injury occurring at the skate park.All accident reports must be kept on file by the city.This report should include: • 1. The date 2. The time of day 3. The injured persons name,address and phone number 4. If the injured person is a minor,the name of his/her parent or guardian 5. The names and phone numbers of any witnesses 6. A complete description of the events and'circumstances surrounding the accident or injury. Facility rules, regulations, and signage An aggressive skating facility must be signed and constructed with a priority commitment to reducing the risk of injury to participants and•spectators..Written facility rules and regulations must be posted in a visible area. Any signage that i8 used should be easily read and accompanied by visual symbols and,where necessary,be translated into the language of the community. • The facility will need to post and enforce established rules and rdgulations to include,but not necessarily limited to:operating hours and admission requirements;possible age and skill level requirements;behavior requirements;requirements regarding the use of personal protective and safety equipment;and requirements concerning the fitness for use of skateboards and related equipment Skate runs should be labeled clearly as to degree to difficulty.In addition,the park should retain the right to revoke skating privileges of participants who are rowdy or who do not abide by the rules. • . • • 12 • • All users of an aggressive skating facility need to complete the following: ! An understanding agreement of the rules and regulation of the park.(See Attachment A) A facility registration card before using the facility.Registration cards must be kept on premises. (See Attachment B) ! A facility identification card that will be shown to gain entrance to the facility.An identification must be carried by the user.(See Attachment C) A warning and waiver signed by the skater and both of his/her guardians(if he/she is a minor).(See Attachment D) • Some ideas to provide more safety for those who participate include:lessons for novice skaters;pre-use equipment checks by personnel;and inclement weather operational restrictions. Maintenance and safety inspections A large number of injuries are caused by poor or inadequate maintenance which could probably be eliminated by establishing procedures which address the maintenance problem.These procedures will include documented regular safety inspections,repair programs,and training hazard identification for maintenance staff. Safety inspecting must become a major activity for all aggressive skating facilities.The rising number of injuriesCand the recognition that many of these injuries can be prevented through planning and careChas underlined the need for a documented regular inspection program.Safety inspections are an ongoing process • from the installation of the aggressive skating structure until its removal due to age,wear,or obsolescence. Inspections must be regular and based on a standardized process form. The more frequently the facility is inspected,the better the opportunity to spot any potential problems.The frequency of inspections will be determined by the amount of use the equipment receives,its present condition,its construction,and its exposure.The Trust Member will be required to conduct and document at least monthly self-inspections of all aggressive skating operations and facilities. • 13 Personal protective gear • Safety equipment must be worn by all skaters at all times.The protective gear currently on the market is not subject to Federal performance standards,and therefore,careful selection is necessary.Protective gear will help absorb the impact of a fall It should not interfere with the skaters movement,vision,or hearing.This equipment includes,but is not limited to,the following: An appropriate helmet; • Knee and elbow pads; Gloves and wrist supports;and Proper shoes. • • • • • 14 a3 • • • Summary CTIER II Skate Parks When planning a skate park,please involve your city s LMCI`l Loss Control Representative.The following is a checklist of requirements needed to receive and maintain coverage for a TIER II facility by LMCIT: 0 The skating area will need to be completely enclosed by:a fence.The fence must provide adequate protection for spectators from flying boards,other debris-and/or filling skaters. ❑ If open at night,the facility must be adequately lit. ❑ Skaters should never be allowed to bring in their own ramps,handrails,or other structures that could be used to perform stunts. ❑ The designated area must be secured by a lock during closed hours. ❑ Facility rules and regulations,including hours of operation,will be posted in a conspicuous location. O Trained supervisors must be present at the facility during hours of operation. ❑ Document a formal maintenance program and continue that program for the life of the facility. Inspect the facility daily to identify potential ha7.ards. ❑ • Require skaters(and their parents or guardian if under 18 years of age)to sign waivers of liability.In addition,skaters should be issued an admittance•card which must be shown prior to admittance to the designated area. O Require skaters to wear personal protective equipment such as a helmet,wrist guards and elbow/knee pads,and proper shoes. ❑ The facility must have the following readily available: ! A telephone or radio communications to emergency services such as medical,police,etc. A complete medical first-aid kit on premises. Ice packs and sanitary towels available. ❑ Children younger than 10 years of age should not be allowed in the skate park.(The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 5 not use skate boards.Injuries to children 5 to 9 years old statistically suffer 50%head and neck injuries.) ❑ Competitions must be restricted to only those sponsoring organizations who are able to provide • separate insurance coverage and a contract holding the city harmless and indemnified. ❑ An accident report must be completed by a facility supervisor on duty following any accident or injury occurring at the facility. 15 • LMCIT does not represent that these guidelines identify and address all of the unsafe or haratdous conditions associated with the operation of an aggressive skating facility,nor do we represent that implementing our • recommendation is the best possible solution and that no injury or financial loss will occur if they are followed.It is our opinion that implementing the recommendation will reduce the pote„ti i1 for accidents.

The answer is "none of the above." The fastest growing sport in America, and probably the world,is in line skating.With over 30 million persons skating last year in the U.S.alone,in-line h•'• 'k' skating registered a 19 percent increase + • in participation over 1995.This kind of •i=. -. growth is typical of a sport that had bare- . ly a million participants just a decade ago. There are only a few reasons to believe =•. ;• •- that this growth rate will not continue: The biggest could be a lack of accessible i .1-Th - and safe places to skate.Fortunately,this 1 a' is a problem that is easily solved,partic •i•;'!' \- F "'- . ularlywith the help of park and recreation r { departments. l F 'f .r �.,� . 1 / ? - .

Membership Newsletter Cities and municipalities have an obligation to their communities to Contact provide safe places for their youth to skate.It is an investment in their . Links future.When children are looked after and cared for by adults they grow a tz..'"``"" • up into responsible, caring adults.That is a known fact and that is why we your email subscribe have parks&rec programs.As responsible adults we cannot turn our backs on these kids.So what do we do now? • Designate land or a building for a skatepark: if you think that you don't have any to spare,ask me about the eminent domain act=a city can seize abandbned railroad land for their use-this land is quite suitable for skating needs.But you may need to do a feasibility study. • Get it approved...sometimes this is difficult..don't give up. • We have a list of qualified contractors and designers to help you • build your park you will need anywhere from$25,000-$250,000 • depending on the size and design we can help you with almost anything including insurance! • Some cities require that the youth raise some or all of the funds for the park.If your city has no funds and it has been your pattern to require the basketball or baseball players to raise the funds for their facilities then.you • may want to go that route.If however you have funded every other sport and now put your hands in your pockets,then I think you are being unfair and may be entering into some civil liberties issues.Ouch!Don't you hate it when I bring that up. Some cities partner with a private group,they provide the IancUbuildfng and the group builds and manages the park.This can be a win/win http://www.spausa.org/mtroduclion.html 8/28/00 spa j usa • Paget of3 situation.Your concerns would be that the park is affordable for the immediate neighborhood youth and you may have to work out something with the park to provide scholarships.You also need to be sure that the group is qualified to work with chldren.I would advise background checks for all staff and encourage the city to stay involved on some level. • According to the International Association Of Skateboard Companies (IASC)there are over 300 public skate parks under construction 'throughout the United States.Three years ago we.had a list of over two hundred US Skate Parks.Parks are being built so fast that we are having a difficult time tracking them.We have quite a few large private.parks and many churches throughout the nation are adding skateparks to their youth ministry. Skateparks are the#1 choice of teenagers when polled by Parks& Recreation departments. • The average SKATEBOARDER is a male between 7-16 yrs old. From our recent surveys we also know that art&music are their favorite subjects.Fourteen&under,less than 1%would use drugs while skateboarding,in line skating or freestyle biking and all prefer their sport to drugs.Drug dealers are very successful in marketing their product to older teens,but again these athletes are less likely to use drugs ifthey are skating hard.One area SPA USA is very concerned about is the use of . tobacco.Over the last 20 years skateboarders have been very successfully targeted by the tobacco companies. Every effort should be made to promote skateboarding as a sport and these youngsters as athletes.It is time to start the healing process and bring these wonderfully talented kids back into the community and offer them as much support as • we can. The skateboarding industry reported sales of$720 million last year.Over 100,000 skateboard decks are manufactured every month! There were many skateparks built in the 70's and then shut down. Insurance may have been the problem.The point being that it did not stop skateboarders.They took to the streets-and learned to skate in ways that no one could imagine.Their sport grew and grew.Because of • the lack of community support we have raised a nation of outcasts.These • are our kids and our future.We owe them the same support that we show to all the other young athletes in our communities.Skaters and bikers work harder at their sport than any other group I have ever seen! Size:Most cities surveyed have said if they could change one thing about their park it would be the size.It would be bigger. Calgary(Canada)is building the largest skatepark in the world(that we know of).It is a public park-91,500 sq.ft,which is about 20,000 sq.ft larger than than VANS new Bakersfield park(70K).There are some small parks about 5000 sq. ft.but many companies are refusing'to build less than 7000 sq.ft.A tennis court is made for 2 4 people.Some cities try and put 60 skaters onto a tennis court.I think you have to be a little more realistic about the size of the park.Some other cities are choosing to build multiple smaller • parks(Long Beach has 5 parks in the planning stages)as opposed to • one large park. ' According to AMERICAN SPORTS DATA,there are 9.3 million skateboarders under the age of 18 and guess what-drug trade is the 2nd largest business in America.Who do you think they are going to target?Our youth,of course.Should this be part of your presentation?I . think so.I also think that unsupervised parks may create opportunities for drug dealers,unless the park is located in a safe and populated area. • • ROBO just built a new 56K sq.ft park in Ontario.They have 2 areas set aside for our biker friends!It is not fair to exclude freestyle bikers from your park.If you have safety concerns you could designate certain times or days for bike use.They must wear safety equipment! http://www.spausa.org/introduction.html 8/28/00 spa l usa • Page 3 of3 • There are many large parks going into malls,the idea being that while junior skates,Mom&Dad will shop,go to the movies or have a meal.

ORDINANCES BANNING-SKATING k ;' ` I am against banning skating. Skating is a great source of exercise in a \': ,,.. country of overweight people.This is an affordable means of transportation for millions of youth.Skating is relatively safe and does not pollute the environment It is.the right of the citizens to use public areas. TICKETING SKATERS Skaters should not be ticketed for skating!It is not a crime.Ticketing skaters is nothing more than harassment by the police and should not be tolerated.Many cities have forgiven all skaters tickets and stopped the police from issuing more.Police should spend their time fighting real crime not raising revenue for the city.Many police refuse to write tickets for skateboarding and have actually stepped up to help the kids get skateparks.All tickets should be fought by the skater-see our sight under tickets.No 10-12 year old deserves a warrant out for his/her arrest for skateboarding. CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE Many cities require skaters to raise the funds to build their skatepark.The kids have been very successful but unless the city required the tennis players,swimmers,soccer players,lithe league,toddlers etc.to raise funds for their facilities then you have a civil rights issue. http://www.spausa.org/skatepark costs.html 6) 8/28/00 spa[usa Page 2 of 2 FUND RAISING You may be able to get either COKE or PEPSI to donate funds to your park,but there is no national program.You need to contact your local bottling plant for information andin exchange offer exclusive vending machine rights.You may also be able to get your local grocery chair.and • other stores to donate through SCRIPT.SCRIPT is a program where supporters agree to shop at certain stores and the stores in turn donate 5%-10%of customers sales to the project It does not cost the consumer anything.You will need to be non profit for this so you might want to do it through your schools or local churches.

Fox,Manager Parks & 1 Natural Resources Requested Action Move to: Include the evaluation of the maintenance of the peony garden in the . development of a funding plan for the renovation,maintenance and restoration of the historic sites based upon review of the Adaptive Reuse Plan and the City Survey. Synopsis City staff contacted four firms to obtain quotes for maintenance of the peony garden. One firm offered a bid, Gray Gardens Landscape. This firm specializes in flower garden maintenance. A copy of their proposal is attached. Their quote details the work that is needed for the next two years to improve the quality and condition of this historical peony garden. Staff would anticipate a cost of approximately$2,500 per year to maintain the garden after 2002. Background City of Eden Prairie Staff became involved with the peony garden at the Cummins-Grill homestead shortly after Mildred Grill, who had live estate, vacated the property in 1979. In 1980, the City Council received a request from the Eden Prairie Historical Society to begin maintaining the neglected peony bed on the Cummins-Grill homestead site. Staff checked with the Minnesota State Horticultural Society and was able to determine that without specific plant records, the value in terms of historic context of the peony beds was very little. This was because there were many commercial growers of peonies in Minnesota between the 1900's and 1920's. Without exact names and cultivation records, it is difficult to determine how historically significant this peony bed is, or was. The staff inquired if the Eden Prairie Garden Club would be able to provide maintenance of this peony bed; however, they responded that they had only 14-15 active members and that maintaining the peonies would be too large a project. The Council authorized staff to spend up to $1,000 in 1981 to maintain the peony garden using a contractor. i ) j October 27, 2000 Gardens LANDSCAPE Mr. Stuart Fox Manager of Parks &Natural.Resources City of Eden,Prairie 8080 Mitchell Rd Eden Prairie, MN 55344 RE: Garden Maintenance at Cummins House Peony Garden Dear Mr. Fox: Further to our discussions and site visit(s) to the peony gardens at the Cummins House, we have the pleasure of enclosing our proposal - outlining the strategy to reclaim the gardens to their greatest intended potential. As you are aware, Gray Garden's Garden Maintenance Department prides itself in establishing and maintaining gardens via an annual Garden Maintenance Agreement {contract}. Offered on a Time and Material basis (T & M) to make available comprehensive professional skills, gardening tools & supplies, equipment, soil additives, and a managed service regimen that is site and customer specific. In noting, with due respect, the disrepair of the peony gardens, the greater workload - and costs to renovate same - are attributed to Phase I (Fall 2000): slightly less so to Phase II (Spring 2001). However, the scope of work within these two (2) phases is critical in moving toward the recessitation of the gardens. Below, please find our proposal for the Cummings House Peony Garden. We have identified five (5) phases of core service Over a 2-year period: at the end of which, the gardens should be to a more managed condition, requiring a more modest level of scheduled maintenance.Note that the dollar/time values are estimates only. . . not finite bid amounts. At the end of each visit, a detailing of work performed, equipment and materials used, along with the number, capacities and hours of each staff member will be on-forwarded to your 'Bill To' address. Our billing is on a monthly basis, due on presentation of `Statement'. It will be necessary to have 24/7 access to water at the site, as we make no allowance to bring/use water tankers at the site. • r ♦t .r. PO. Box 207 Excelsior; Minnesota 55331 e 443-2058 Z 'd OS06Etri13S6I 3 SN3QLId9 hd21J d62 =60 DO 68 '400 While we are very diligent in the use of environmentally safe (organic) materials and practices, there is a need in either Phase I or II to apply herbicide(s) as it is the most effective and efficient means to significantly minimize unwanted vegetation which has otherwise consumed the garden. Wherever applicable, a licensed applicator will be engaged. The `Regular Visits' per each phase are based on 2 visits p/week but need be flexible to accommodate weather, moisture and the overall health of the plantings. Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you, discuss the city's objectives and to have earned your interest in receiving our proposal! We look forward to your review and comments, as your project is most exciting and our interest to participate very definite. Once establishing your acceptance to our approach, we can meet to draft and finalize a two (2)year Maintenance Agreement. In light of the extensive work to be done and that fall is coming to a close, it is essential that we earn your encouragement early on in the next few days/weeks so as to commence on the scope of work outline to each respective phase and season. For your convenience, our office number is 612.443.2058/fax 612.443.3060:My mobile#612.685.5480. Best Regards, QWILt&LVi Joseph Kruger Operations Manager Garden Maintenance Department • • 6 "al 090EE171'EGG T LI sW30MG9 AGMS d62 :60 00 6z 1-00 • Phase I -Fall 2000 During the initial visits, we need first to remove the existing straw and mulch, control the weed/grass growth (present & future) and airate the soils. The entire area must first be mowed. Then,undertake the process of raking out the debris, including straw, mulch and grass cuttings, again mowing the entire area. The next step is contingent upon the weather yet this season. After the green foliage has been trimmed away on all of the peonies, and if we have enough rain and sunshine that the grass will green, we will spray the entire garden with a *green leaf/grass defoliant (i.e. Otnamec 170 Grass Herbicide and/or equivalent). This will not harm the peony plants as they have been `dead-headed and their roots now dormant. If we do not have the necessary rain & sun, this step is not an option for Phase I but would then happen in Phase II. Our next step, regardless of weather, will be to rototill between the rows of peony plants, mixing in perlite in the process. These steps will help contain the weed population while also airating the soil to promote healthier plants in the spring.

If electing to remove from the site, the fee for the first visit(Phase I only) -estimating the debris to be almost% of a dump truck- would be around $280.00. Phase II - Spring 2001 Come spring the entire area between the rows will again be rototilled:Between the plants hand-tilling. This will again help to control the weed problem, further aerate the soil while, at the same time, allow the introduction of fertilizer(s) and soil amendments (approx. 50 lbs. p/row of either 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 fertilizer(s)): As well, Bone Meal, Soybean Meal&/or other fertilizers to be applied on a per plant basis.

With each row now more populated with stronger and healthier peonies, the true grandeur of this historic garden can be realized. Like with every spring subsequent, care in weeding and airating around each specific plant should continue, along with the tilling between rows (pending designated use [i.e. footpaths, etc]). Most important will always be the debudding of blossoms and proper deadheading as the pedals posse a real threat the peony's leaves . . . . and the plant itself.
