Who owns Flying Cloud Airport (FCM)? •
MAC (Metropolitan Airport Commission) controls and operates FCM. MAC is a state agency, so ultimately it
is the citizens of Minnesota who own FCM.
What is "MAC"?
MAC was created by the state legislature in the 1940's to control and operate the Minneapolis-St Paul(MSP)
airport and six"reliever"airports in the metro area, including FCM. MAC consists of 14 commissioners and a
chairman. The MAC reports directly to the Legislature and the Governor. MAC's mission is to serve the
community by ensuring the safety of airport users and to provide efficient services and facilities for air
travelers. MAC is not a typical unit of government. In most U.S. communities,the city controls and operates
its airport. See: www.mspairport.com
1
Why does MAC want to expand FCM?
The MAC's mission is to serve the community by ensuring the safety of airport users and to provide efficient
services and facilities for air travelers.In this role,the MAC has been a fundamental contributor in making our
region an exceptionally strong force in the global economy. (www.mspairport.com)
The general purpose of the FCM expansion is to implement the airport development plan that best satisfies the
year 2010 aviation needs of FCM and the entire Metropolitan Airports System, as stated in the Aviation Chapter
of the Metropolitan Development Guide of the Metropolitan Council.
The specific purpose of the project is to implement the 1992 FCM Long-Term Comprehensive Plan(LTCP)
approved by the Metropolitan Council,which includes the following actions:
• Acquire sufficient land to protect the airport from incompatible development.
• Provide sufficient hanger spaces to accommodate existing and future demand
• Provide a runway with an effective length of 5,000-feet for takeoffs and landings to induce appropriate
general aviation aircraft-to use FCM instead of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport(MSP),_
and provide the associated taxiways and navigational aids, consistent with FAA standards
• Provide a parallel 3,900-foot runway, and •
• Revise MAC Ordinance 51 to allow maximum utilization of the 5,000-foot runway by general aviation
jet aircraft. (Ordinance 51 restricts use of FCM by jet aircraft to 20,000 pounds or less maximum takeoff
weight.) (As stated in the Expansion of Flying Cloud Airport—Draft EIS Executive Summary)
What is "FAA"?
FAA(Federal Aviation Administration)is the federal agency that oversees all aviation issues.
What is "DNII"?
Day-Night Average Sound Level(DNL).
Most sound level meters and dosimeters use built-in frequency filters or"weighting networks" in the •
measurement process.By far the most frequently used filter is the A weighting network,which discriminates
against low-frequency and very high-frequency sounds. A weighting approximates the equal-loudness response
of the ear at moderate sound levels, and correlates well with both hearing damage and annoyance from noise.A
weighting will be assumed throughout this report unless otherwise specified.
Composite measures of noise, such as the equivalent continuous sound level(Leq) and the day-night average
sound level(DNL)incorporate A weighting, (The mathematical notation for DNL is Ldn.)these levels
constitute sound energy averages over given periods of time,the DNL incorporates a 10-dB nighttime penalty
from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am,meaning that events occurring during that time are counted as 10 dB higher than
they really are.A variant of the DNL that is used in California(and Europe)is the community noise equivalent
level(CNEL),which incorporates a 5-dB penalty for evening noise events, as well as the 10-dB nighttime
penalty(California Code of Regulations, 1990).
For more than a decade,both the DNL and the simple Leq have been used extensively for assessing the impact
of aircraft/airport noise.Recently,however,communities have expressed dissatisfaction with these metrics
when used to regulate noise(Wesler, 1990).Metrics that employ averaging fail to describe the disturbance
arising from single events,especially low-flying aircraft,unexpected or newly occurring flights,or flights
occurring in areas where solitude is at a premium.The sound exposure level(SEL), an event's sound level
normalized to one second,is gaining popularity as a supplement to the DNL and the Leq for characterizing
single events. (From NPC Library:Noise and its Effects,Measurement and Descriptors)
What is the "Draft EIS" statement?
The Draft EIS (Environmental Impact Statement)is both a state and federal document;it is prepared in
accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)and the Minnesota Environmental Review
Program.The EIS contains the evaluations of the impacts on the environment of expanding FCM.It also
2
_ contains the measures proposed.to-mitigate the potential adverse effects of expanding the airport. Construction
cannot begin until after the EIS is completed and approved. (draft EIS)
What is "Ordinance 51"?
In the 1970's MAC wanted to lengthen a runway at FCM from 3600 feet to 3900 feet.The City of Eden Prairie
was adamantly opposed to that expansion. The issue went to court.The court ordered MAC and the City into
negotiations.A bi-lateral agreement was made.MAC was able to extend the runway and the City of Eden
Prairie got Ordinance 51, a method to control the noise and traffic at the airport. The hotly debated aspect of
Ordinance 51 is the weight restriction,which limits the size of Jet aircraft at FCM.It states"Jet aircraft 20,000
pounds or less maximum takeoff weight that can meet the noise emission levels of Federal Air Regulation part
36 shall be permitted(at FCM)except when used for flight training in jet aircraft use."
MAC contends that Ordinance 51 is irrelevant because newer jets are quieter.
Zero Expansion contends.that Ordinance 51 limits the number and types of jets that can use FCM and therefore
limits the number and frequency of operations at FCM. Ordinance 51 also limits the physical size of FCM since
. it is difficult to justify expanding the airport if it is limited to jets weighing 20,000 pounds or less maximum
takeoff weight.
Link to Ordinance 51 and related documents(Minutes-Jan 11, 1978,Letter-Jan 16, 1978,Letter-Feb 23, 1978)
What is the timetable for the expansion?
It is our understanding that MAC has acquired the property it needs to begin construction. Construction can
begin soon after the EIS is completed.MAC has not given out a date for the completion of the EIS.At one point
in time the EIS was suppose to be complete by Spring,2001. Due to the FAA's requirement that MAC
•
eliminate Ordinance 51 from the EIS,it is not likely that MAC can begin construction before Fall,2001 or later. .
Who can approve and authorize the go ahead with the expansion?
The MET Council approved the proposed expansion in 1996. There are only two items remaining in the
process before the expansion can begin are: 1)The EIS statement must be revised(omitting everything about
Ordinance 51)before the EIS is complete. 2)The completed EIS statement must be approved by MAC and
submitted to the FAA and the Environmental Quality Board(EQB) along with input from the public.After
these two steps are complete,there is a short waiting period before construction can begin. (mspairport.com)
Can the City of Eden Prairie stop the expansion at FCM?
The expansion of FCM can be stopped at many levels.As with any project the government and politics are
involved with,if enough people voice their opposition to the expansion,it will be stopped.
There are procedural issues that could stop the expansion. A number of studies in the Draft EIS are considered
flawed,and since the MET Council approved of the expansion based on their reading of the Draft EIS (in
1996),their approval of the expansion could also be considered flawed.For example:projections of air traffic in
the draft EIS have consistently been overstated;the cost benefit analysis in the EIS overstates benefits and
understates costs; losses in property taxes are understated;noise measurement methods are subject to debate;
actual costs of the project have always been grossly underestimated(the initial project cost was estimated at
$11.7 million). (draft EIS and MET Council Transportation Committee Meeting,2/26/96) •
There are legislative issues that could stop the expansion. The state legislature could stop the expansion for any
number of reasons including taking away MAC's ability to make the decision.
3
There are legal issues that could stop the expansion. Ordinance 51 was and is a bilateral agreement between two
entities.MAC and the City of Eden Prairie have both committed themselves to defend Ordinance 51.
(Committee minutes, Ordinance no. #51,January 11, 1978)Legal commitments can't be disposed of just
because they aren't convenient. They must be addressed.
What is the "noise" issue?
Aircraft make noise.Noise disturbs people. The area around an airport where noise disturbs people the most is
called the"noise footprint". When the airport expands a runway, the"noise footprint"will get larger. The
manner in which the FAA and MAC measure noise is by"averaging"noise over a period of time.However,
what bothers people is not only the"average"noise levels produced over a period of time,but the"spikes"in
noise produced as one time events. "Spikes"in noise are the events that can wake a person from sleep, interrupt
conversations and, in general, distract and annoy people.
The FAA and MAC use the"averaging"method to describe the effects of noise on residents and to make
projections of the"noise footprint"if FCM is expanded. What makes this an issue is that residents feel the
"averaging"method of measuring noise is inadequate and should be replaced or complimented with the"noise
spike"(The sound exposure level(SEL), an event's sound level normalized to one second)method of measuring
noise. An SEL"noise footprint"for an expanded FCM would encompass at least half of Eden Prairie and large
parts of surrounding communities. Link to decibel club.
See accompanying noise "footprint" maps. MAC provided all maps in their documents. The only •
changes made to maps were to highlight noise contours and landmarks in order to make them more visible to
the scanning equipment and on the website. Comparing the maps may give you a clearer idea of the noise issue
surrounding FCM and how it could affect you. Please be aware that these maps,prepared and provided by
MAC, are MAC's best estimation of noise. Maps#1 and#2 show"average noise contours".Maps#3,#4 and#5
are single event noise contours for aircraft taking off to the west and represent only one flight path. There are at
least six flight paths,three at each end of the runway(straight,veering north and veering south). On maps#3,
#4 and#5 the viewer is left to their own imagination as to what geographic areas the other five flight paths
would cross over.
Map#1 1996 and 2010 No Action DNL Noise Contours. (From MAC's DEIS, December 1999)This map
shows the current"average"noise"footprint". The outside line surrounding the airport is the 60dB DNL
contour. If this noise level seems low to you it may be because it measures"average"noise levels rather than
"spikes"in noise levels.
Map#2 2010 Alternate E and 2010 No Action DNL Noise Contours. (From MAC's DEIS,December 1999)
This map shows a"projected average noise footprint"for the year 2010 if FCM is allowed to extend it's runway
to 5,000 feet. Again,the outside contour is 60dB DNL contour and it represents noise"averaging".
Map #3 Single Event Contours—Lear 35—Takeoff to West(from Mac's Long-term Comprehensive
Development Plan,April 1991,Amended October 1992)This map clearly illustrates a noise"spike". This is a
single event noise spike from a Learjet 35, a stage 3 jet. The MTW(maximum takeoff weight) of a Learjet 35
is 18,000 pounds(draft EIS). This jet can currently use FCM, although not efficiently. The outside contour on
the map represents 75dBA. This illustration is for a takeoff directly to the west only.
Map#4 Single Event Contours—Cessna Citation—Takeoff to West(from Mac's Long-term Comprehensive
Development Plan,April 1991,Amended October 1992)This map clearly illustrates a noise"spike". This is a
single event noise spike from a Cessna Citation. The MTW(maximum takeoff weight)of a Cessna Citation
ranges from 11,850 pounds to 17,000 pounds depending on model(draft EIS). This aircraft can currently use

FCM.The outside contour on the map represents 75dBA.This illustration is for a takeoff directly to the west
only.
Map#5 Single Event Contours—Lear 25—Takeoff to West(from Mac's Long-term Comprehensive
Development Plan,April 1991,Amended October 1992)This map clearly illustrates a noise"spike"from a
stage 2 jet. This is a single event noise spike from a Lear 25, an older and noisier jet. The MTW(maximum
takeoff weight)of a Learjet 25 is 15,000 pounds(draft EIS). This jet can currently use FCM.The outside
contour on the map represents 75dBA.This illustration is for a takeoff directly to the west only.
Further notes and references concerning the"noise"issue:
In 2000,the MET Council adopted amendments to its Land Use Compatibility Guidelines for Aircraft Noise.
The amendments raised the(state)noise guidelines that apply around all Metropolitan airports from a DNL55 to
the DNL60 noise contour. The net effect is to protect residents less,limit MAC's liability, and increase the •
liability of cities with airports within their borders.
The noise threshold that the FAA set as compatible with residential use("65dB DNL")is problematic because:
(1)it is based on an averaging of noise,rather than the loud"single event"noise that specifically characterizes
aircraft noise, and (2)the threshold of 65 dB significantly underestimates the level at which many people are
annoyed or impacted by aircraft noise. Natural Resources Defense Council. www.nrdc.org
The FAA's threshold of 65dB DNL does not accurately assess how many people are disturbed by aircraft noise.
NRDC's Airport Survey found that despite the relatively few people living within its 65dB DNL noise contour,
Denver International Airport received the highest number of noise complaints per month.Natural Resources
Defense Council. www.nrdc.org •
Single event noise must be taken into account when assessing the impacts of aircraft noise. Single events
interrupt school lectures,wake people up, and interfere with speech intelligibility.The"single exposure level"
(SEL),which measures the intensity of sound during a single noise event, should be used in conjunction with
CNEL(community noise equivalent level).Natural Resources Defense Council. www.nrdc.org
As more planes take to the skies,the number of loud"spikes"of noise increases every day for those living near
airports,affecting both their living environment and property values.Natural Resources Defense Council.
www.nrdc.org
The statement"newer jets and airplanes are quieter than older jets and airplanes"is frequently used in the
discussion of noise, and it implies that somehow older jets and airplanes are going to disappear.Zero Expansion
contends that there are no plans to remove or restrict older jets and planes. Lengthening the runway simply
allows more and larger aircraft to use FCM.More and larger aircraft equate to more noise.
Zero Expansion contends that larger and heavier aircraft are inherently noisier than smaller and lighter aircraft.
Zero Expansion contends that Jets generate the most noise at Flying Cloud.MAC's data in the 1999 Flying
Cloud Monitoring Summary indicates that jet aircraft from Flying Cloud were the noisiest aircraft in 14 of the
75 grid areas surveyed. In percentage terms,the jets comprised 18.6%of the noisiest flights measured by MAC.
Jet flights represented only 3.5%of the total flight operations during the study.Reports of noisy jets were more
than 5 times more frequent than the actual jet flight operations,leading to our conclusion that residents
responded 5 times more negatively to the noise of jets.

•
Will expansion increase airport noise?
Yes. The main reason given to expand the airport in the draft EIS statement is"to induce appropriate general
aviation aircraft to use FCM instead of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport(MSP)". The
Metropolitan Council has projected that aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings) at FCM would increase from
the current level of 186,000 operations a year to approximately 286,000 operations by 2010. (Economic Impact •
of General Aviation in the Twin Cities,prepared for the Metropolitan Council,December, 1998,by the Airport
Technology and Planning Group,Inc.,Table 2-5). More traffic and heavier aircraft at the airport would
translate into more noise.
Will there be more air traffic at FCM if FCM is expanded?
Yes, according to the MET Council. The latest information from MAC indicates that the number of operations .
(take offs and landings) at FCM in 2000 was approximately 186,000. Operations at:FCM are projected to rise
to 286,000 by 2010. (Economic Impact of General Aviation in the Twin Cities,prepared for the Metropolitan
Council,Dec. 1998,by the Airport Technology and Planning Group,Inc., Table 2-5) MAC wants the runway
lengthened to divert traffic from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport(MSP)to FCM. Currently,there are about •
50,000 annual operations at MSP that have the potential to move to FCM.
If the airport is expanded what will be the largest aircraft that can use it?
Currently, the largest aircraft at FCM that can effectively use FCM is the Raytheon Hawker 125-F1A,which
could have a maximum takeoff weight of 19,200 pounds using the 3,900-foot runway(draft EIS Executive
Summary). If the runway is expanded to 5,000 feet, MAC allowed that a Gulfstream IV Jet weighing up to
75,000 pounds would be able to use FCM(Airport Commission Meeting 3/14/01). More aircraft at the airport
will make more noise.
What kind of aircraft currently uses and will use Flying Cloud?
What follows is a physical comparison of a few aircraft:
One of the largest aircraft that currently uses FCM is a Raytheon Beech Jet 400A which can have a takeoff
weight of 16,100 pounds. This aircraft is 48 feet long,has a wingspan of 43 feet and is 13 feet high. It typically
carries 6 to a maximum of 9 passengers and has a crew of 2. This is a stage 3 aircraft(a measurement of noise
levels an aircraft generates). (As of 10/99, draft EIS)
One of the largest aircraft that could currently use FCM is an Israel Astra SP,which could have a takeoff weight
of 20,000 pounds. This aircraft is 55 feet long,has a wingspan of 52 feet and is 18 feet high. It typically carries
7 to a maximum of 9 passengers and has a crew of 2. This is a stage 3 aircraft(a measurement of noise levels
an aircraft generates). (draft EIS)
One of the largest aircraft that will be able to use FCM after it is expanded is a Gulfstream IV,which can have a
takeoff weight of 74,600 pounds. This aircraft is 88 feet long,has a wingspan of 77 feet and is 24 feet high. It
typically carries 13 to a maximum of 19 passengers and has a crew of 2. This is a stage 3 aircraft(a
measurement of noise levels an aircraft generates). (MAC presentation,Airport Commission Meeting 3/14/01)

I live right under one of the flight paths — will this expansion affect my
property values?
The short answer is-yes;you can expect your property values to go down. The long answer is to refer you to
another study:Airport Diminution in Value by Randall Bell,MAI http://www.eltoroairport.org/issues/rbell.html

What is the "safety" issue?
Proponents of the runway extension contend that lengthening the runway makes FCM a"safer"airport.Eden
Prairie Chamber of Commerce,Business,March 2001
Zero Expansion contends that FCM is perfectly safe for the aircraft that currently use it, and for which it was
designed.No one disputes that statement. "Safety"is not in the draft EIS (prepared for and paid for by MAC) as
one of the purposes or needs to expand FCM.
Zero Expansion contends that a longer runway encourages larger and faster aircraft to commingle with smaller
and slower aircraft raising the risk to smaller aircraft.
Zero Expansion contends that lengthening the runway just enables larger aircraft to use the longer runway in an
"unsafe"manner. In a presentation made to the Airport Commission on 3/14/01,MAC said that a Gulfstream
IV would be able to use FCM's 5,000-foot runway. The Gulfstream IV weighs 75,000 pounds fully loaded and
requires a 5,400-foot runway, although it can use a 5,000-foot runway. FCM's pavement is only designed to
regularly handle an aircraft of maximum 30,000 lbs (60,000 lbs with dual wheels). Larger than optimum
aircraft using a smaller than optimum runway was one of the activities that encouraged MAC to propose
extending the runway to 3,900 feet in 1978 and extending it now to 5,000 feet. Allowing MAC to use this
ratchet effect and logic,we can expect a 6,000-foot runway proposal soon after the 5,000-foot runway is built.
Will there be more chemical and air pollution at the airport?
MAC's draft EIS states that the impacts of the expansion on the natural environment are not significant(air
quality,biotic communities, endangered and threatened species, floodplains,parks,recreation areas,water
quality,wetlands and wild and scenic rivers).
However, the pollution caused by airports and aircraft is increasingly becoming a major national topic. Some of
the sources of pollution at an airport are the chemicals used in de-icing aircraft and the emissions from aircraft.
Evaluating pollution and its effects is beyond the means of a citizens group like Zero Expansion. What follows
are a few excerpts from larger organizations about airport pollution.
Santa Monica airport,the busiest single runway, General Aviation airport in the nation was tested by the FAA
because of a request from the Los Angeles Unified School District. The study revealed that hydrocarbons and
carbon dioxide far exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standard, and that maximum cancer risks were
23 times greater than the Federal Clean Air Act's "acceptable risk criterion"of one-in-a-million.www.us-
caw.org
Nationwide,planes at airports emit 1% of smog-forming gases.Natural Resources Defense Council.
www.nrdc.org
Airplanes account for up to 4% of two global warming gases from carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide
emissions. Analysts predict within 50 years, airplanes will account for as much as 10%of all such effects.
Natural Resources Defense Council. www.nrdc.org
Airports rank as high as smokestack industries in the amount of pollution they release into the environment,
according to analysis by NRDC.Natural Resources Defense Council. www.nrdc.org
Jack Soporito of CAW, Citizens Aviation Watch says, "there is no health agency watching airports.Most
emissions are exempt"from reporting and those that are regulated are"self-reported and grossly under-
reported."Soporito says, "It's pretty much an unregulated industry."Exposing Airports' Poison Circles,

What are the main improvements proposed for FCM?
The main improvements proposed for FCM are:to extend the primary east-west runway from 3900-feet to
5000-feet and widen it to 100 feet; To extend the other east-west runway from 3600-feet to 3900-feet;to
prepare a new hanger building on the southwest side of the airport;to build a new,relocated tower; and,to
develop a new stormwater detention pond. (Met Council Transportation Committee meeting,2/26/96)
Does the airport expansion limit Eden Prairie's potential tax base?
Yes.About 298 acres of land are being taken out of Eden Prairie's tax base specifically because of the airport
expansion. Other acreage is also being"taken". Housing could be developed in areas less affected by the
airports"noise footprint",while businesses and compatible land use consistent with areas near airports could be
developed in the areas most affected by the"noise footprint". These developments would have paid annual
property taxes to the city. Developers regularly build any required infrastructure(streets,sewer, etc) as part of
the cost of development and at no cost to the City. (Met Council Transportation Committee meeting, 2/26/96)
What are the costs of expanding FCM?
MAC's initial estimate was$11.7 million. In 1996,the costs were revised to $20.1 million(Met Council
Transportation Committee meeting, 2/26/96). MAC reported in the Eden Prairie News(2/8/01) that the current
projected cost of expanding FCM is$35 to $38 million. However, at the current cost of acquiring land(over
$100,000 per acre), it may cost MAC (taxpayers) over 45 million just to acquire the property it wants.
The potential loss in property taxes of 500 homes that could have been developed on the land that MAC is
taking is$1.3 million a year to Eden Prairie and$7.0 million to Hennepin County.
Potential loss of city building permits,utilities,park fees, sewer and water fees could easily eclipse$1.0 million
per year.
Potential loss to homebuilders,developers and related home finishing vendors and contractors to finish 500
homes is estimated at$190 million.
Potential annual loss of revenues for local businesses on goods and services that could have been purchased by
500 families/homes would exceed$10 million annually.
Non-quantifiable losses to Eden Prairie include:

• Reduced standard and quality of living
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service objects to the expansion due to its negative impact on the National Wildlife
Refuge located next to the Airport.
The Lower Watershed District is concerned about current and potential new water pollution problems at Flying
Cloud Airport.

Mayor Harris called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
• III. COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS
Mayor Harris welcomed members of the Community Program Board and Parks and
, Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission, who were invited to the presentation of the 2001
Community Survey Results. Kerry Hill and Deanne Wiley of Wirthlin Worldwide,the
City's survey consultant,participated in the meeting via telephone. Hill said all of the
survey results validated information gathered from the Community Forum,which was held
in October 2000. Hill presented an executive summary of the survey, including:
• Research goals and methodology
• Profile of respondents
• Ranking of support for various parks,recreation and leisure services
• Detailed analysis of responses on
— Community Center facilities
— Possible municipal golf course
— Swimming options
— Senior facilities and programs
— Methods of communication
— Issues and challenges
Councilmember Butcher said she felt the data would be valuable in guiding Council
decisions on where to allocate resources. Councilmember Mosman wondered if some items
were ranked as less important than others because respondents are satisfied with them,not
because they don't care about them. Hill explained that in her experience the rankings serve
as a clear indication of where residents feel time and money might be best spent. Parks and
Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission Co-Chair Dick Brown commended the Mayor and
Council for gathering important and useful information. Community Program Board Chair

Muna Yasiri said the respondent profile seemed adequate,but wondered why there were so
many more female than male respondents. Hill said that since each survey was filled out on
behalf of a household,rather than an individual,this may simply indicate that women take
care of this type of task more often than men. Councilmember Case said the profile of
respondents looked"off," and he wondered how he could verify the data to ensure it is
representative. City Manager Enger suggested that if necessary the profile could be
compared to census data scheduled to be available this summer. Program Board Member
Harry Davis, Jr., asked whether or not citizens will have access to the survey results. Mayor
Harris said they will be available on the City's web site. Other means of providing the
results were discussed.
Davis asked if there would be an opportunity for the Council,Program Board and.Parks and
Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission to meet jointly to discuss the results. Mayor
Harris said a joint meeting would be appropriate and asked staff to set a date for the
meeting. Yasiri agreed that the Boards and Commissions need direction from the Council in
using the survey data to set courses of action. Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory
Commission member John Murray said he felt they needed to think of the"common good"
and not just what people say they want. Davis said the survey results are simply a"snap
shot"of a moment in time, and that circumstances and needs are constantly evolving.
Butcher pointed out that there are additional tools that can be used to learn what people
want,but said the survey data is valuable because it is one of the few quantitative measures
•
the Council has to guide their decision making.
IV. COUNCIL FORUM
A. ZERO EXPANSION
Laurie Pepper,Mark Michelson, and Kim Vohs attended on behalf of Zero
Expansion. Pepper thanked the Council for showing strong leadership in hiring
attorney Peter Kirsch to explore ways to oppose Flying Cloud Airport expansion.
Pepper said Zero Expansion would like to have a cooperative means of serving the
City in their efforts to stop the expansion. She said Zero Expansion members would
be willing to serve as members on task forces and assist in public relations and
communications. Pepper said Zero Expansion wants to clear up confusion on the
airport issue,particularly regarding the City's position as well as factual
misinformation Zero Expansion feels is circulating. Zero Expansion is developing a
position statement that will be posted on their Web site and published in the Eden
Prairie News. They suggested the City issue a position statement and offered
assistance in doing this. Pepper noted that Zero Expansion circulated their own
survey on the airport issue at the March 6,2001, Council Meeting. She presented
approximately 117 completed surveys to the Council for review.
Councilmember Tyra-Lukens suggested including information on the airport issue in
the Community Newsletter. City Attorney Ric Rosow told Zero Expansion that
because of the legal nature of the airport issue,the Council will not be able to share
as much information with them as they might like. For the same reason,the Council
may not be able to be as responsive to their offers of assistance as they would like.

Mark Michelson said Zero Expansion strongly believes there should be a source of
objective,understandable information about the airport that is easily accessible to
residents. Mayor Harris asked staff to create a fact sheet on the airport,which could
be posted on the City website and elsewhere. She asked Zero Expansion to submit
questions they would like covered on the fact sheet to the Office of the City
Manager.

X. PETITIONS,REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. I-494 CORRIDOR COMMISSION UPDATE
Jim Hovlin introduced himself. He is an Edina City Councilmember and
succeeded Ross Thorfinnson, Jr. as Chair of the I-494 Corridor Commission. He
reviewed the history of the Commission, which is made up of representatives
from the seven cities along the I-494 corridor. Its mission is to more effectively
move people and goods on and through I-494. The Commission has developed a
process to make infrastructure improvements and has moved I-494 to the top of
•
the list for reconstruction and has discussed preconstruction needs with Metro
Transit and MnDOT.
I-494 was built in the late 1950s, and reached capacity in the late 1980s. Between
France and Highway 100 the number of vehicles using the road each day has
increased from 56,350 in 1976 to 171,250 in October 2000. Congestion has
created great difficulties. Currently there are 163,000 jobs in Bloomington,
Richfield and Edina combined, or the same number as downtown Minneapolis, so
I-494 is Minnesota's "Economic Engine." Metro Council data shows that by
2020 there will be 370,000 jobs in the Southwest Metro Area, and a 28 percent
increase in the number of households in the seven cities along the corridor, which
compounds the difficulties in solving traffic congestion.
The Commission is focusing on infrastructure improvements to increase capacity,
and ways to maximize surface lane expansion. Current legislation has been
proposed to obtain funding to accomplish reconstruction of I-494, initially
between 34th Avenue and Highway 100, and construction in 2003 of a third lane
in both directions between I-394 and 34th Avenue. They are working with
MnDOT to facilitate establishment of High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) ramp
meter bypasses for buses. They will try to assist all of the cities in the corridor in
facilitating and sponsoring a plan at the Legislature to allow for maximum lane
capacity and increased Travel Demand Management (TDM) strategies to
maximize use of the beltway when it is being reconstructed, including
construction of parallel arterials to I-494.
Hovlin said Mayor Harris and Councilmember Mosman met with the
congressional delegation to discuss funding for I-494 and the speedup of work in
order to minimize the effect on traffic during reconstruction. Representative
Oberstar suggested having a transportation summit, with representatives from the
state, MnDOT, and businesses in the corridor, to discuss TDM strategies and
surface lane expansion, and how to get this work done as quickly and effectively
as possible.

excellent idea and asked that the City receive notice of that meeting.
VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. CREATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) DISTRICT #17
FOR THE ROLLING HILLS SENIOR PROJECT (Resolution No. 2001-50)
Mayor Harris said this is a Joint Public Hearing involving both the City Council
and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the February 22,
2001,Eden Prairie News. The project was approved by the City Council October
3, 2000, and will be located at the southeast corner of Prairie Center Drive and
Rolling Hills Road. The developer is requesting Tax Increment Financing to
reduce rents on 29 units for 30 years. Rents on these units will be affordable to
persons with incomes below 50 percent of the median income for the metro area.
The plan calls for the creation of a Housing (Qualified)District that is expected to
generate about $3,300,000 in TIF over ten years on a pay-as-you-go basis. A
Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), consisting of Shelter Care Foundation and
Ebenezer Society,will own the project.
Jay Jensen, representing Rolling Hills Senior Housing Project, said this
development is being done with two non-profit corporations, Ebenezer and
Shelter Care Foundation. There will be doctors on the premises from Fairview
Southdale Hospital. Twenty percent of the units will be affordable in the
independent living, assisted living and memory loss areas. The TIF district is for
abut 10-1/2 years. The affordability agreement that the non-profits will be
entering into is for 30 years, so not only each year is affordability greater than the
tax increment going in, but because it's non profit and part of their charter is to
provide affordable housing,they are extending the period to 30 years minimum.
As part of this project there will be a small office building of 17,500 square feet.
The TIF district is only for the housing portion of the project. Jensen said he
hoped to have groundbreaking around Memorial Day.
Mosman asked if the other office was for the medical service. Jensen said they
hope to have Fairview use this office to provide senior medical services. It is
planned that patients would be able to use the Internet from their units to contact
doctors.
Uram said the project includes a three-story senior building with 142 units, 29 of
which will be subsidized through the TIF agreement. The Tax Increment
Financing will last 10 —1/2 years. At their February 26, 2001 meeting, the
Community Planning Board found the use of TIF for this project consistent with
the goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan.

B. LOIS TOBIAS ADDITION by Audrey Simons Request for Preliminary Plat
of 1.4 acres into 2 lots. Location: 9140 East Sunrise Circle (Resolution No. 2001-
51 for Preliminary Plat)
Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the March 8,
2001,Eden Prairie News and sent to 53 property owners.
Harry Bongard said he was representing the owners in requesting approval to
replat this subdivision into two lots. Each lot would have about 28,000 square
feet, well above the minimum size requirement. There is already a house on one
of the lots and a house will be built on the other. They are not asking for any
variances.
Franzen said both lots meet City Code requirements for size, dimension and
setback. The Community Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of
the project at its February 26, 2001 meeting. A Developer's Agreement is not
recommended for this project.
Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to address the Council on this project. No
one did.

C. WOODBEAR HIGHLANDS by Bill Bearman. Request for Comprehensive
Guide Plan Amendment to add 10 acres within the Metropolitan Urban Service
Area (MUSA), Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 15.76 acres,
Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 15.76 acres, Zoning
District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 15.76 acres, and Preliminary Plat on
15.76 acres into 31 lots. Location: 9630 Eden Prairie Road (Resolution No.
2001-52 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, Resolution No. 2001-53
for PUD Concept Review, Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning
District Change, and Resolution No. 2001-54 for Preliminary Plat)
Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the March 8,
2001 Eden Prairie News and sent to 11 property owners.
Bill Bearman, owner of the property at 9630 Eden Prairie Road, said it is located
in the southwest quadrant of Eden Prairie between Pioneer Trail and Highway
212. He requested approval of the PUD concept plan, which is for 31 single-
family lots on 15.76 acres. The City asked him to keep all lots off Eden Prairie
Road because of the planned reconfiguration of Eden Prairie Road adjacent to the
project. That is why he asked for a waiver for the cul-de-sac length of 620 feet in
order to provide internal access for all lots.
Franzen said this project is consistent with the Guide Plan density at 1.69 units
per acre. The request for a waiver for the length of the cul-de-sac is reasonable
since it will provide internal access for all lots. The Metropolitan Council
withheld the 30 acres from the MUSA expansion. Since submittal of the project,
the Metropolitan Airports Commission has submitted an Eminent Domain
Petition to the Court to acquire the 30 acres as part of the proposed expansion of
the airport. Therefore there is no reason for the Metropolitan Council to keep the
property outside the MUSA. The timing for the project will depend upon the
reconstruction of Eden Prairie Road and extension of municipal sewer and water
to serve the site. Staff recommended approval of the project, and the Community
Planning Board voted 6-0 to approve the project at its February 26, 2001 meeting.
Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to address the Council regarding this
project.
Robin Smith said he owns the property directly southwest of the proposed project.
He said he was not opposed to the proposed development but wanted to voice his
concerns. He and his neighbors in the area are not interested in developing their
property or extending utilities down Eden Prairie Road. South of the site there is
a very steep grade on Eden Prairie Road and the only way to reconstruct the road
would be with a steep embankment on each side. He asked the City to consider
studying the impact of the roads and talk to the neighbors before going too far
with this project, and to find a pragmatic approach for the whole area rather than
just the 15 acres in the development. It is possible MAC may be able to facilitate
bringing utilities to all of these properties. MAC has two large buildings on three
acres that don't meet code and he believed they would be asking for a variance for
reselling that property they acquired as part of the airport expansion.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
March 20,2001

Smith said there are a number of factors to consider, especially bringing utilities
down Eden Prairie Road. The impact of bringing a sub-trunk line through that
road will adyersely impact the people who own property along the road. Those
owning fairly large parcels could end up paying substantial amounts over a long
period of time and never receiving the benefit of the utilities. He said he speaks
for a number of people who spoke at the Planning Board public hearing.
Case asked that those neighborhood concerns be included at the Sector Council
Meeting on April 24. Mayor Harris agreed that would be an appropriate thing to
do. The Sector Council Meeting will be held at the Cedar Hills Golf Clubhouse to
consider bringing utilities into that area.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Case to close the public hearing
and adopt Resolution No. 2001-52 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendments
to add 10 acres within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA); and adopt
Resolution No. 2001-53 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 15.76
acres; and approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development
District Review with waivers and Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5
on 15.76 acres; and adopt Resolution No. 2001-54 for Preliminary Plat on 15.76
acres into 31 lots; and direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement
incorporating Staff and Board recommendations and the Council suggestion to
include neighborhood concerns at the April 24, 2001 Sector Council Meeting.
Motion carried 5-0.
D. LIBERTY PLACE — BUILDING B by Liberty Limited Liability Partnership.
Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 6.84 acres,
Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 6.84 acres, Zoning
District Amendment within the Office Zoning District on 6.84 acres, and Site Plan
Review on 6.84 acres. Location: Smetana Lane (Resolution No. 2001-55 for
PUD Concept Amendment and Ordinance for PUD District Review and
Zoning District Amendment)
Enger said official notice of this public hearing was published in the March 8,
2001 Eden Prairie News and sent to 102 property owners.
Rick Wieblen, Vice President for development of Liberty Trust, said he was
asking approval for Liberty Place Building B at Smetana Lake, north of Smetana
Lane. Last year they completed the first phase of the project. The final phase is a
6.84-acre site, on which they plan to build a one-story, 56,302-square-foot office
building.
Franzen said this project meets the requirements of an Office Zoning District.
The Community Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the project
to the City Council at the February 26,2001 meeting.
Mayor Harris asked if anyone wished to address the Council about this project.
No one did.

Mayor Harris reported that the City Manager received very high marks
from the community, the City staff and the Council, and has therefore
earned a merit bonus award of 3.5 percent, which represents the highest
level provided by the City. Mr. Enger's accomplishments last year reflect
the goals and objectives of the Council and the City's strategic initiatives.
The Council will need to work together with the City Manager to set a

Mayor Harris said the first seminar she attended was on evaluating the
chief executive officer, which validated the process and procedures the
Council has been using over the past several years. She also attended a
seminar called Impact Relationship Strategies, which focused on how
personality traits influence the way we think, plan, listen, process

other people.
Mayor Harris attended a four-hour meeting on aviation noise issues with
elected"officials. One of those was Representative Jim Oberstar, who has
introduced legislation in support of development of a new-generation jet
within 10 years, called the "green" engine, which would reduce by 30- to
40 decibels the current noise of our Stage 3 and projected State 4 jet
engines, and also umbrella smaller aircraft under the law. A 1990 law
requires planes weighing 75,000 pounds to be equipped with Stage 3
engines, but many smaller, lighter aircraft are not covered under this
regulation and continue to use noisy Stage 2 engines. A companion bill to
Rep. Oberstar's has been submitted by another state's representative that
would prohibit operation of all Stage 2 aircraft,regardless of weight, in 20
regions of the United States with the worst aircraft noise problems.
Harris also attended a presentation by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), which is working to streamline the aviation Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) process that agencies have to go through to expand
airports.
Harris learned about the National Organization to Ensure a Sound-
' Controlled Environment (NOESE). This organization addresses issues on
improvements to airports like Flying Cloud. She attended a meeting with
this organization, where they spent a lot of time formulating the following
noise legislation for 2001.
(1) Amend the current law to allow local governments to be eligible to
receive noise-mitigation funding.
(2) Federal investment in developing the vastly quieter"green"engine.
(3) Revise the eligibility for federal funding in respect to airport runway
expansion and construction, so airport owners must get approval from
airport planning organizations composed of a majority of communities
affected by the airports.
(4) Address a loophole in federal aircraft noise requirements to prohibit
operation of Stage 2 aircraft regardless of size, including private
aircraft that are currently exempt under federal noise control.
(5) Accelerated retirement of the noisier Stage 3 aircraft, beginning with
Stage 2 aircraft that have been retrofitted with hush kits to meet
current Stage 3 standards.
Mayor Harris enrolled Eden Prairie in NOESE. It is the oldest nationwide
community based association committed to redressing the impact of

aviation noise on local communities. She said the U.S. Department of
Transportation has recognized NOESE as the authoritative voice of cities
and counties, thereby enabling NOESE to represent these interests on
bodies such as the Aviation Rule Making Advisory Committee and NASA
FAA Advanced Subsonic Transport Noise-Reduction Project. She said
membership in that organization gives Eden Prairie another important and
visible entree to both executive and congressional bodies involved in
aviation legislation and rule making.
When the conference was over, Mayor Harris joined with four other
mayors whose communities are impacted by I-494 capacity issues, and the
I-494 Corridor Commission, on March 13 and 14. They met with
Minnesota Congressional delegates regarding leveraging state and federal
investments to advance construction of parallel arterials prior to
reconstruction of either I-494 or Crosstown Highway 62. The Minnesota
delegates agreed that any reduction in capacity during reconstruction of
either highway would result in gridlock, and that construction of these
arterials is essential. They voiced support for more federal funding of
road improvements along I-494.
In summary, Harris said the meetings were productive and resulted in an
agreement to hold an I-494 Summit Meeting during the Congressional
recess in April to identify the best solution.
3. Annual Congressional City Conference of the National League of
Cities—Councilmember Butcher
Butcher stated she met with a number of mayors and councilmembers who
had airports in their communities, including Anoka, Crystal, Mounds
View, and Rochester, and had conversations about the impact they had felt
in their communities. She and Mayor Harris spent time at the seminar on
evaluation of the chief executive, which showed the evaluative process
used by this City Council is substantive.
Butcher attended Team Building and Effective Council Dynamics
presented by the Leadership Training Institute. She also attended a
meeting on one of the hot issues for the 107th Congress, which is the need
for affordable housing versus the supply available. Senator John Kerry
proposes the federal government produce new affordable units in
individual communities by using the surplus of insurance funds in the
Federal Housing Administration budget. The League of Cities' position is
to encourage the federal government to remain involved by providing
money and strengthening programs such as HOME and CDBG funding.
One positive outcome of the meetings was that Minnetonka's Mayor
Karen Anderson was elected to serve as the next President of the National
League of Cities.

4. Annual Congressional City Conference of the National League of
Cities—Councilmember Mosman
Mosman said she attended a seminar on water treatment problems across
the country and the need for massive federal involvement to protect
drinking water as well as recreational water. It is a critical problem. She
also attended a meeting where legislators spoke, and all brought up traffic
and traffic congestion. Legislators realize they are getting mail on this
subject from their constituents on a daily basis. She met with
Representative Jim Ramstad, who said the traffic congestion problem is
serious in the Twin Cities area and is deteriorating rapidly. They talked
about the lag time between legislative process and getting added capacity
on I-494 and this will have to be dealt with soon. Mosman talked with
Senator Paul Wellstone about I-494 and how it affects all communities
and not just the adjoining ones. Mosman said both congressmen also
asked to receive updates on the Flying Cloud Airport expansion. She said
they are aware of our efforts to protect residents and they are supportive of
the idea of resident protection and being more involved in expansion
issues in general.

5. Roadway Striping on Pioneer Trail (County Road 1) —
Councilmember Case
Case said he drives on Pioneer Trail each day and the striping put on the
road last fall has disappeared, leaving the old striping more apparent.
Drivers are confused and accidents could occur. He understood from
Gene Dietz that striping in this weather would be difficult and only
temporary,but this situation is very dangerous. Public Works Service Area
Director Gene Dietz indicated he will contact the County to resolve the
problem.
6. Painting Trim on More House—Councilmember Case
Case examined the exterior of the More House recently, and it continues
to deteriorate. Minimum maintenance is needed very soon and he
requested that professional painting of the trim be done as soon as the
weather is warm enough.

Public Works Service Approve Limited Use Permit Agreement with
Eugene A.Dietz MnDOT for a Trail within T13212 Right-of- ,r
Way, along Bryant Lake Drive
Requested Action
Move to: Approve Limited Use Permit Agreement with MnDOT for a new trail within
TH 212 right-of-way along Bryant Lake Drive and authorize the Mayor and
City Manager to execute the document.
Synopsis
City Council petitioned the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for a Limited
Use Permit along Bryant Lake Drive for the portion of the trail within TH 212 by resolution
dated October 3, 2000. Although the specific design has not been approved, this document will
allow the project to move forward by identifying rights and responsibilities for the construction
of the trail.
Background Information
The Director of Parks and Recreation Services secured a $50,000 grant from the Department of
Natural Resources towards the construction of a trail connecting Valley View Road to Rowland
Road along Bryant Lake Drive (total estimated cost $200,000). This trail segment will
essentially connect Eden Prairie to the Bryant Lake Regional Park. City Council petitioned the
Limited Use Permit from MnDOT last year and staff has been negotiating with the agency to
allow construction to occur.
MnDOT's approach to these types of requests is from the perspective that the highway right-of-
way is for the primary use of roadways. Therefore, Limited Use Permits, including this one,
have the following characteristics:
• All construction costs and on-going maintenance costs are the responsibility of the
permittee
• All liability for the construction, maintenance and operation of the trail is the
responsibility of the permittee
• We are obligated to indemnify MnDOT for all aspects of the use of the corridor for
trail purposes
• This permit is subject to revocation with a 60-day notice
1
While these criteria may seem onerous, they are the standard procedure resulting from such
requests. The risks and liabilities for the installation of this trail are balanced by providing
pedestrian and bicycle access to the Bryant Lake Park facility and provision of the trail will be a
significant safety enhancement compared to existing conditions.
The goal of staff is to construct the trail facility in 2001. However, a number of issues are being
negotiated with MnDOT staff for concurrent resolution. We need to replace the existing
watermain that has failed several times, repair the road surface of the ramp that was damaged
due to the most recent watermain break and staff is attempting to develop a project that will
allow a double left turn lane from the ramp to eastbound Valley View Road. A memorandum of
understanding between the City of Eden Prairie and MnDOT is being developed so that the City
could take the lead design role,build the project and be reimbursed by MnDOT for their share of
the cost. When the Memorandum of Understanding has been developed, it will be presented to
City Council for review and approval.
Staff recommend approval of the Limited Use Permit for the trail within the TH 212 corridor,
along Bryant Lake Drive.
