congressional district
• For the first two years following a decennial census an election precinct boundary must
follow a census block line
• The boundaries of election precincts must follow visible, clearly recognizable physical
features("visible,clearly recognizable physical feature"means a street,road,boulevard,
parkway,river, stream, shoreline,drainage ditch,railway right-of-way, or any other line
which is clearly visible from the ground. A street or other roadway which has been
platted but not graded is not a visible, clearly recognizable physical.)
• No population requirements in statutes—needs to be a size where the elections can be
administered efficiently
The new district line.affected precincts 3,4, and 7.
• The portion of Precinct 3,south of Hillcrest Court,was added to Precinct 6
• The portion of Precinct 4,south of Valley View Road,was added to Precinct 10

Precincts 14, 15, 16 and 17 were modified based on population. Precinct 14 will provide an •
additional polling place in the southeast quadrant. The polling place will be at the Homeward
Hills Park Barn.
A portion of 9A and 9B,west of Dell Road and the western half of former Precinct 14,form a
new precinct—Precinct 19. The polling place will be at the new Grace Church. This precinct
will eventually split as the population grows.

Parks and Recreation painting of ceiling in Rink II at the Community
Through: Robert A.Lambert, Center. 4
Director
From: Lyndell Frey, Community
Center Manager
Requested Action
Motion: Move to approve the awarding of the contract to Lonsdale Painting in the amount
of$48,500.00 for painting the ceiling of Rink II at the Community Center.
Synopsis
Staff recommends the approval of the bid of Lonsdale Painting to clean and repaint the ceiling in
Rink II at the Community Center. In addition to the$48,500.00 bid there is an additional fee not
to exceed 10% of the construction cost(approximately$4,850.00)for architect fees. Staff
recommends using the$40,000.00 budgeted in the 2002 Capital Improvement funds for this
project as well as an additional $13,500.00 to be taken out of the Community Centers general
repair and maintenance budget.
Background
Rink II was opened in 1992. The original budget request of$40,000.00 was based on one
company's rough estimate of the Rink II painting project. After closer inspection of the ceiling it
was determined that certain areas of the ceiling need scraping and repairing of rust areas as well
as the entire ceiling needs to be bleached and scrubbed for mold. Based on the recommendation
of Delano Erickson Architects, specifications were drawn up to address these concerns. Staff at
a future time may need to request additional funding in the 2003 budget to correct a potential
dehumidification problem in Rink II.
The requested $13,500 additional dollars if taken out of the Community Center's general repairs
and maintenance budget would create a short fall within that budget area. This budget shortfall
of$13,500 would be offset by the revenue generated in Rink II in the year 2002, due to the
restructuring of the revenue bond fee schedule payments.

Bids were received on the above project on April 5,2002 from three painting contractors we had issued
plans to. Bids ranged from$48,500 to$57,750 on Miller,for which we bad estimated$50,000 plus.
The low bid is below our estimate and budget and,therefore, we recommend award of contract to:

Financial Services Award Contract for Demolition of Old Police 1a' , T,
Donald R.Uram Station
Requested Action
Move to: Award contract for demolition of the Old Police Station to Kevitt Excavating, Inc.
Synopsis
Sealed bids were received Monday, March 25, 2002 for the demolition of the old Police Station with an
Alternate Bid to Salvage and Recycle Demolition Materials (deconstruct). Four bids were received and
are tabulated as follows:
Demolition Salvage/Recycle
Kevitt Excavating $ 53,940
Belair $ 84,053 $ 84,053
Ingram Excavating $ 87,725 $363,700
Carl Bolander& Sons $ 99,800 $129,850
Staff recommends award of the contract for demolition to the low bidder, Kevitt Excavating. Bid
specifications require that the contractor divert a minimum of 75% of the demolition/deconstruction
materials from disposal in a landfill. Diversion can be salvage, recycle or a combination of both. The
contractor shall submit proof of compliance with this specification.
Background Information
In September 2000, the City of Eden Prairie entered into an agreement with LHB Architects and
Engineers to study the feasibility of using a "deconstruction" process to tear down the old Public Safety
Building. LHB presented their report to the City Council on November 20. Their conclusion was that it
may be feasible to "deconstruct" the building provided that the cost not exceed the value of the salvaged
materials plus the cost of regular demolition. The next step was to prepare bid documents and advertise
for the demolition of the building and an alternate bid for the deconstruction of the building. The project
was advertised and the bids were opened on March 25.
A total of four companies submitted bids on the project. Each company submitted a bid for demolition
that ranged from $53,940 to $99,800. Only three companies submitted a bid for deconstruction ranging
from $84,053 to $363,700. This is a difference of$30,113 between the low bid for demolition and the
low bid for deconstruction.
To help decide whether to demolish or deconstruct, Staff met with Kevitt Excavating on-site to determine
what materials could realistically be re-used. The overall conclusion is that the glue-lam beams would
have the greatest salvage value. Kevitt has quoted a price to remove the beams for $2,400 to $4,800.
Salvaging these beams for the City would only be feasible if there was a proposed use. One use being
considered is the proposed outdoor baseball stadium to be constructed in Miller Park within the next two
to three years. The architect is analyzing the design to determine if the beams can be used. If they can,
Staff will process a change order in the amount quoted for the removal of the beams.

Public Works Services Amendment to Assessment Agreement with
Eugene A.Dietz Lynn L. Charlson and Resolution Amending I I . J.
Resolution 2000-125
Requested Action
Move to: Approve first amendment to agreement regarding special assessments with
Lynn L. Charlson and adopt a resolution amending Resolution 2000-125
regarding certain special assessments levied on July 18, 2000.
Synopsis
At the request of the property owner, Lynn L. Charlson, and to the mutual benefit of the City of
Eden Prairie, a special assessment agreement was entered into between Charlson and the City on
March 19,2000,which provided for the levying of special assessments that would be incurred to
provide the infrastructure necessary for development of his property. Further, the City
conducted a public hearing and levied the estimated amount of special assessments against all of
the property owned by Lynn Charlson on July 18, 2000. All parties had a general expectation
that construction of improvements would begin in 2001. The City has been unable to secure
easements from the Metropolitan Airports Commission that would enable construction to
proceed in a more timely fashion. This amendment to the assessment agreement and resolution
that levied the assessments recognizes these unforeseen delays and changes two dates: interest on
the assessment will be.calculated beginning November 1, 2003 rather than November 1, 2000;
collection of the first installment of special assessments against the property will begin with
taxes due in 2004 rather than 2002. Finally, a provision has been added to require the developer
of Site A of Hennepin Village to deposit 125% of the estimated assessment amount for each
individual parcel prior to building permit issuance. This will protect the City against costs that
will be incurred and also allow individual closings without assessment liens for homebuyers.
Background Information
As a result of issues surrounding the airport expansion,the ability to secure easements and/or
right-of-way from MAC for the construction of the Charlson Area Improvements was
substantially impaired,which in turn has delayed the projects. The property owner and the
developer of Hennepin Village have requested relief from paying accumulated interest and
beginning installment payments on this special assessment prior to being able to utilize the
improvements. Staff have analyzed this request and conclude that it is unlikely to compromise
the funding for the project and will have a positive impact on the feasibility and progress of the
Hennepin Village Development.
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the special assessments agreement and adoption
of the amended resolution.

Don Uram Heights at Valley View Project '
David Lindahl
Requested HRA Action:
Move to:
Adopt Resolution relating to the Tax Increment Financing Plan(Qualified Housing)District No.18.
Requested Council Action:
Move to:
Adopt Resolution creating Tax Increment Financing District No. 18 and approving the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for the Heights at Valley View Project.
Synopsis:
The developer is requesting Tax Increment Financing(TIF) in return for which developer will reduce
rents on 63 units (34%). Because the developer is using Tax Credits to finance the project,25% of
the total square footage of the project must be affordable,which equates to 63 units. Rents on these
units will be affordable to persons with incomes below 50%of the median income for the metro
area. The proposed TIF District is expected to generate about$3,400,000 over seventeen years on a
pay as you go basis.
The Community Planning Board at the March 25, 2002 meeting found the use of TIF for this project
consistent with the goals of City's Comprehensive Plan. Eighty percent (80%) of the tax increment
collected over seventeen years, or$3,410,653,will be returned to the project provided it continues to
meets its affordable obligations. The remaining 20%, or an estimated$852,671,will be pooled by the
City and used for future transportation or trail improvements within the Golden Triangle Area.
Background:
The 186-unit apartment project will be located at the corner of Valley View Road and Flying Cloud
Drive in the Golden Triangle Area. For the project to qualify for TIF twenty percent(20%)of the total
units must be affordable to persons with incomes at or below 50%of the median income for the metro
area. The applicable income limits and proposed rents are as follows:
I
Income Proposed Proposed Market
Family Size Limit(50%) Bedrooms Rents Rents
One $26,850 1 $580-640 $900- $1,050
Two $30,700 2 $685 $1,200-$1,525
The City is also providing a$375,000 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)loan to the developer to
help finance the affordable units.The loan,which will be secured by a mortgage,will include a 5%interest rate
and be repaid in semiannual payments per a 15-year amortization schedule or in full if the project is sold or
exchanged.

See Section 1.2 of the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project. •
Section D Statement of Objectives
See Section 1.4 of the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project.
Section E Designation of Tax Increment.Financing District as a Housing District
Housing districts are a type of tax increment financing district which consists of a project
intended for occupancy, in part, by persons or families of low and moderate income. Low and
moderate income is defined in federal, state, and municipal legislation. A project does not
qualify if the fair market value of the improvements constructed for uses other than low and
moderate income housing (see next paragraph for requirements) are more than 20% of the
total fair market value of all the planned improvements. The fair market value of the
ri SPRINGSTED Page 1
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota
improvements may be determined using the cost of construction, capitalized income, or any
other appropriate method of estimating marketing value.
In addition, housing districts are subject to various income limitations and requirements for
residential property. For owner occupied residential property, 95% of the housing units must be
initially purchased and occupied by individuals whose family income is less than or equal to the
income requirements for qualified mortgage bond projects under section 143(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code. For residential rental property, the property must satisfy the income
requirements for a qualified residential rental project as defined in section 142(d) of the Internal
Revenue Code. A rental property also satisfies the above requirements if 50 percent of the
residential units in the project are occupied by individuals whose income is 80 percent or less of
the area median gross income.
• The TIF District qualifies as a housing district in that it meets all of the criteria listed above. It is
anticipated that 100% of the planned improvements in the TIF District will be for a qualified
residential rental property. In addition, no fewer than 63 units will be rented to households at or
below 50% of area median income for the duration of the TIF district. •This exceeds the
statutory requirement of 38 units (20.4% of 186 units).
The above requirements apply for the duration of the TIF District. Failure to comply with these
requirements results in application of the duration limits for economic development districts to
the TIF District, that is eight years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment. If at the
time of the noncompliance, the TIF District has exceeded the duration limits for an economic
development district, the TIF District must be decertified effective for taxes payable in the next
calendar year. . .
Tax increments derived from a housing district must be used solely to finance the cost of
housing projects as defined above. The cost of public improvements directly related to the
housing projects and the allocated administrative expenses of the Authority may be included in
the cost of a housing project.
Section F Duration of the TIF District and the Three Year Rule
Housing districts may remain In existence 25 years from the date of receipt of the first tax
increment. Modifications of this plan (see Section AA) shall not extend this limitation.
The Authority reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in existence the maximum
duration allowed by law (projected to be through the year.2029),•but anticipates that the TIF
District will be decertified at year-end 2020, after 17 years of tax increment collection. All tax
. increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the
Authority.
In addition, no tax increments shall be paid to the Authority from the TIF District after three
years from the date of certification unless within that time period:
• (1) bonds have been issued in aid of the Project Area (except revenue bonds issued
pursuant to M.S. Sections 469.152 to 469.165);
(2) the Authority has acquired property within the TIF District; or
(3) the Authority has constructed public improvements within the TIF District.

Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District
The TIF District is a 10.34 acre area of land located within the Project Area. A map showing
the location of the TIF District is shown in Exhibit I. The boundaries and area encompassed by
the TIF District are described below:
Parcel ID Number Legal Description
•
12-116-22-24-0009 •Wilson Ridge, Outlot E •
12-116-22-31-0007 Together with that part of the North-511.10 feet of the-Northeast�/a of the
Southwest 1/4 of Section 12, Township 116, Range 22, Lying westerly of
• County Road No. 39...(partial metes and bounds)
The area encompassed by the TIF District shall also include all street.or utility right-of-ways •
located upon or adjacent to the property described above.
• Section H Property to be Acquired in the TIF District
The Authority may acquire and sell any or all of the property located within .the TIF District; -
however, the-Authority does not anticipate acquiring any such property at this time. •
Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District . •
The proposed development will consist of a 186-unit multi-family residential complex located at
the•northwest corner of Valley View Road and Flying Cloud Drive. The project will include 67 •
one-bedroom units, 97 two-bedroom units, 8 three-bedroom units, and 14 luxury units. Of
• these, 53 one-bedroom units and 10 two-bedroom units will be affordable as per low-income • -
housing tax credit standards for a minimum of 15 years or the duration of the TIF district,
whichever is greater. This exceeds the requirements of a housing TIF district(no fewer than 38
units at or below 50% or area median income). Project construction is anticipated to begin in
the summer of 2002 and be completed the following year. •
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District, the City makes the following findings:
•
(1) the TIF District qualifies as a housing district; •
See Sections E and I of this document for the reasons and facts
supporting this finding.
(2) the proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
•
foreseeable future, and the. increased market value of the site that could
reasonably be expected to occur without the.use of tax increment would be less
than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments
for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan;
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the developer has
represented to the Authority that it would not undertake the proposed
development without the assistance of tax increment financing. The
Authority has reviewed the estimated development costs, sources of
1 SPRINGSTED Page 3
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota
financing, and projected operating costs for the project. Costs
attributable to site acquisition and preparation, as well as the ongoing
provision of affordable rents for 63 units, will reduce the developer's
return on investment. Without some level of tax increment financing (the
terms and conditions of which will be finalized in a project management
agreement), it is reasonable to expect that the project would not
economically viable as proposed.
•
(3) the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development or redevelopment of
the City as a whole; and
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the TIF District is
properly zoned, and the TIF Plan has been approved by the City Planning
Commission and will generally compliment and serve to implement
policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan.
(4) the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of
the City as a whole, for the development of the Project Area by private
enterprise.
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the development
activities are necessary so that development and redevelopment by
private enterprise can occur within the Project Area.

Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue
The City anticipates providing financial assistance to the proposed development through the
use of a pay-as-you-go technique. As tax increments are collected from the TIF District in
future years, a portion of these taxes will be distributed to the developer/owner as •

The City reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-
go assistance, internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing
mechanism authorized by law. The City also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue
legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such costs including, but not limited to, special
assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The Authority does not anticipate issuing tax increment bonds to finance the estimated public
costs of the TIF District.
Section N Original Net Tax Capacity
The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will
be equal to the total net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State
Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified between January 1 and June 30, inclusive,
this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts certified between July 1 and
December 31, inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF District as of January 2, 2001 for
taxes payable in 2002 is $389,100. Upon establishment of the TIF District, and subsequent
reclassification of property, it is estimated that the original net tax capacity of the TIF District will
be approximately$4,864.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has
increased or decreased as a result of:
(1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements; or
(4) changes in property classification rates.
SPRINGSTED 9 Page 5
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Section 0 Original Tax Capacity Rate
The County Auditor shall also certify the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. This rate
' shall be the sum of all local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be
for the same taxes payable year as the original net tax capacity.
In future years, the amount of tax increment generated •by the TIF District will be calculated
using the lesser of (a) the sum of the current local tax rates at that time or (b) the original tax
capacity rate of the TIF District.
The sum of all local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District, for taxes levied in 2001
and payable in 2002, is 112.433% as shown below. The County Auditor shall certify this
amount as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District.

Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment '
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net•tax capacity of all property in the
TIF District. To the extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference
shall be known as the captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. •
The County Auditor shall certify to the Authority the amount of captured net tax capacity each
year. The Authority may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the Authority's intention
-to retain 100% of the captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known ' •
as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. • •
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number •
of the exhibits contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax •
increment generated over the anticipated life of the TIF District. The Authority anticipates
decertifying the District at year-end 2020, after collecting 17 years of tax increment,•but •
reserves the right to allow the District to remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by
law. .. .

City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Section Q Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.425% of the annual tax increment generated by
the TIF District and pay such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be
appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of financial reporting and auditing of tax increment •
financing information throughout the state. Exhibit Ill shows the projected deduction for this
purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The Authority has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by
the TIF District for any of the following purposes:
(1) pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and City and
County administrative costs associated with the TIF District (see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other
bonds issued to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County
Board under M.S. Section 469.175, Subdivision 1 a; or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City,
County and School District. •
•
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation,
or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a
municipality, county, school district, or any other local unit of government or the State or federal
government. This prohibition does not apply to the construction or renovation of a parking
structure, or of a privately-owned facility for conference purposes.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer, or other
beneficiary of assistance, to repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed
with tax increments, such payments shall be subject to all of the restrictions imposed on the use
of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the cost of acquisition or
fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate
subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be
paid for by the developer or beneficiary.
•
Section R Excess Tax Increment
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to
pay the estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the Authority shall use the excess •
tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds; •
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax
increment bonds; or
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City,
County and School District. The County Auditor must report to the
Commissioner of Education the amount of any excess tax increment
redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.

Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five Year Rule
At least 80% of.the tax increments from the TIF District must be expended on activities within
the district or to pay for bonds used to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District(see
Section E for additional restrictions). No more than 20% of the tax increments may be spent on
costs outside of the TIF District but within the boundaries of the Project Area, except to pay
debt service on credit enhanced bonds. The Authority reserves the right to increase by 10%
the permitted amount of tax increments to be spent outside of the TIF District but within the
boundaries of the City, such tax increments to be used exclusively to assist in acquisition, site
preparation, construction, rehabilitation, or public improvements for housing that meets the
requirement for a qualified low-income building, as described in M.S. Section 469.1763. All
administrative expenses are considered to have been spent outside of the TIF District.
•
Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF District if such amounts are: .
(1) actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within
five years after certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party, the proceeds of
• which are reasonably expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the
later of the five-year period or a reasonable temporary period or are deposited in
a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund.
• (3) used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding
contracts for activities performed within the TIF District, which were entered into •
•within five years after certification of the district; or • •
(4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs (including interest)
incurred within five years from certification of the district.
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the TIF District, at least 80% of the tax
increments must be used to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments,obligated
within the first five years: When outstanding bonds have been defeased and sufficient money
has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations, the TIF District.must be decertified.
• The Authority anticipates spending up to 20% of tax increments outside .of the TIF District. . •
(including for allowable administrative expenses). The Authority also reserves the right to
adjust its tax increment pooling from the TIF District in the future.
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than: . .•
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering
services directly connected with the proposed development within the TIF
District;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons or businesses
residing or located within the TIF District; or .
(4) amounts used to pay interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount, tax
increment bonds.

incurred by the Authority, City, and County in administering the TIF District. Tax increments
may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of (a) 10% of
the total estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan or (b) 10% of the total tax increment
expenditures for the project. •
Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements- Four Year.Rule
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation,
or qualified improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the
TIF District, then that parcel shall be excluded from the .TIF District and the original net tax
capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified .improvements of a street are limited to
construction or opening of a new street, relocation.of a street, or substantial reconstruction or
rebuilding of an existing street. The Authority must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1
of the fifth year, evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF
District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the Authority or owner of the parcel
subsequently commences any of the above activities, the Authority shall certify to the County
Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel shall once again be included in,the
TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel,. as most recently
certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity
of the TIF District.

•
Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected .
retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other
taxing jurisdictions. The Authority believes that there will be no adverse impact on other taxing.
jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed development would not have..
occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public assistance. A • .
positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the •
development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
Section W Prior Planned Improvements
The Authority shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor (or notice of
district enlargement), with a listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building
permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF
Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of.the TIF District-by the
net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued.
•
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the
properties within the TIF District. . •
Section X Development Agreements •
If more than 10% of the acreage of a project (which contains a housing district) is to be
acquired by the Authority with proceeds from tax increment bonds then, prior to such
acquisition, the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the property.
Such agreement must provide recourse for the Authority should the development not be
completed.
•
SPRINGSTPU 13 Page 9
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota
The Authority anticipates entering into an agreement for development, but does not anticipate
acquiring any property located within the TIF District.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The Authority may, upon entering into a development . agreement, also enter into an
assessment agreement with the developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the
land and improvements for•each year during the life of the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review'
the plans and specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value '
previously assigned to the land, and so long as the minimum market value contained in the
assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate, shall certify the assessment •
agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the office of
the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or
premature termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School
District.

Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District;
increase in the amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred; increase in the amount of
capitalized interest; increase in that portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by
the Authority; increase in the total estimated public costs; or designation of additional property
to be acquired by 'the Authority shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary •
requirements for approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if: . • •
(1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from•the TIE District; and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net
tax capacity of those parcels inithe TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the.
Authority agrees that the TIF District's original net tax capacity will be reduced by
no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated.
The Authority must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the
geographic area of the TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but
not enlarged after five years following the date of certification. .
•
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the Authority shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota
Department of Revenue. The Authority shall also request that the County Auditor certify the
original net tax capacity and net tax capacity rate of.the TIF District. To assist the County
Auditor in this process, the Authority shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution
. establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan, and a listing of any prior planned
improvements. The Authority shall also send the County Assessor any assessment agreement
establishing the minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District, and shall
request that the County Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the Authority the amount of tax increment.as it becomes
available. The amount of tax increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes
generated by the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. The amount of tax
increment may change due to development anticipated by the TIF Plan, other development,

CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
HENNEPIN COUNTY,MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO.2002-
. A RESOLUTION CREATING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 18 AND
APPROVING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN RELATED THERETO.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (the
"City"), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. Pursuant to the Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act, Minnesota Statutes
Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended (the "Act"), the City Council
established the following Tax Increment Financing Districts: Tax Increment
Finance District No. 13 on December 17, 1996; Tax Increment Financing District
No. 14 on August 5, 1997; Tax Increment Financing District No. 15 and 16 on
July 20, 1999; Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 March 20, 2001. The Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment District No. 18 is now before this
Council for approval. The Financing Plan outlines the proposed method for
financing certain public costs associated with the project. The proposed Tax '
Increment Financing ("Qualified Housing"), District No. 18 (the "District"),
comprises two tax parcels as described in the Financing Plan.
1.02. Members of the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County and of the
Board of Education of Independent School District No. 272 have been given an
opportunity to meet with the City and comment on the Financing Plan. Pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes Section 469.175, Subdivision 3, this Council on April 16,
2002, conducted a public hearing on the desirability of approving the Financing
Plan. Notice of the public hearing was duly published as required by law in the
Eden Prairie News,the official newspaper of the City, on April 4, 2002. The City
has not received written comments on the Financing Plan from the county and the
school district after providing the county and the school district boards with
information on the fiscal and economic implications of the Financing Plan not less
than 30 days before the date of the public hearing.
1.03. In addition to the notice and opportunity described in Section 1.03, as required by
Minnesota Statutes Section 469.175, Subdivision 2a, the City, not less than 30
days before the publication of the notice of public hearing referred to in section
1.03 delivered written notice to the members of the Board of County
Commissioners of Hennepin County who represent the District. The notice
contained a general description of the boundaries of the District, the proposed
development activities to be undertaken therein, an offer by representatives of the
City to meet and discuss the proposed District with county commissioner and
solicitation of the commissioner's comments with respect to the District.
Section 2. Approval of Financing Plan.
On the basis of the Financing Plan and the information elicited at the public hearing
referred to in Section 1.03,it is hereby found, determined and declared:
2.01. The Financing Plan provides the means to finance certain public costs that benefit
the District. The Financing Plan contains a statement as to the development
program for the District and a statement of the property included within the TIF
District. The Financing Plan also estimates the public costs of the Financing Plan
to be ($4,315,000.00), the sources of revenues to finance or otherwise pay public
costs of the District, the most recent net tax capacity of taxable real property
within the District, the captured net tax capacity of the District at completion and
the duration of the District. The Financing Plan also describes and identifies the
development activities to be undertaken or expected to be undertaken in the
District. The Financing Plan further contains alternative estimates of the impact of
the proposed tax increment financing on the net tax capacities of all taxing
jurisdictions in which the District is located. All the captured tax capacity is
necessary for the objectives of the District.
2.02. This Council hereby finds that the District is a geographic area within a"project"
as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174, Subdivision 8, and is a proper
tax increment financing district within the meaning of Section 469.174,
Subdivision 9. This Council further finds, based on the information in the
Financing Plan and representations of the developer, that the District consists of a
project intended for occupancy, in part, by persons or families of low and
moderate income, as defined in Chapter 462A, Title II of the National Housing
Act of 1934, the National Housing Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of
1937, as amended, Title V of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended, or similar
federal legislation and the regulations promulgated thereunder. As evidence
thereof, the developer represents that the project qualifies for the low-income
housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Internal Review Code of 1986, as
amended. The project to be constructed in the District consists of housing for
individuals or families of low or moderate income. The fair market value of the
commercial improvements do not exceed 20%of the total fair market value of the
planned improvement in the Development Plan.
2.03. Therefore, the District qualifies as a "housing district" within the meaning of
Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174, Subdivision 11. The income limitations of
Section 469.1761 of the Act are applicable to tenants in the project, because the
District is not located in a targeted area as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section
462C.02, Subdivision 9,Clause(e).
2.04. This Council hereby finds that the private development proposed in District
would not, in the opinion of this Council, occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future and that therefore the use of tax
increment financing is deemed necessary.Without tax increment financing,which
increases the financial feasibility of the proposed development,private investment
would not develop the District within the reasonably foreseeable future. The
studies and analyses supporting this finding are identified in the Financing Plan.
2.05. This Council hereby finds that the Financing Plan conforms to the general plan
for the development of the City as a whole. The development is compatible with
the City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and encourages
efficient use of existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use Plan.
2.06. This Council hereby fmds that the Financing Plan will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of the District by private enterprise. The development activities
contemplated in the District would provide an increase in low and moderate
income housing opportunities in the City and enhance the tax base of the City.
2.07. As required by Section 49.176, Subdivision 4d, it is expected that all of the tax
increment to be derived from the District will be used to finance costs of the low
and moderate income housing project,including the costs of public improvements
directly related thereto and allocable administration expenses.
2.08. Upon review of the Financing Plan, the information elicited at the public hearing
and on the basis of the findings in Sections 2.01 to 2.06, this Council hereby
approves the Financing Plan and the establishment of the District as a tax
increment financing district in the City, to be denominated "Tax Increment
Financing(Qualified Housing)District No. 18.
Section 3. Additional Approvals.
It is contemplated the public financial contribution contemplated in the Tax Increment
Financing Plan, including but not limited to tax increment financing may be secured by
way of a mortgage on the property in the District. It is further contemplated that the
developer will obtain construction and/or permanent financing and that it will be
necessary for any security granted to the City and/or Authority to be subordinated to that
of the developer's lender. The Approval hereby given to the Tax Increment Financing
Plan includes approval and the execution by the appropriate officers of the City of such
additional documents necessary to acquire a secured interest in the property and to
subordinate such interest, to the lien of the developer's construction and/or permanent
financing. The Mayor and City Manager are authorized and directed to prepare and
furnish certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to this
transaction and such other affidavits and certificates as may be required to show the facts
relating thereto as such facts appear on the books and records in the officers' custody and
control or as otherwise known to them; all such certified copies, certificates and
L1
affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall constitute representations of the City
as to the truth of all statements contained therein. The approval hereby given to the
various documents referred to above includes the approval of such additional details
therein as may be necessary and appropriate and such modifications thereof, deletions
therefrom and additions thereto as maybe necessary and appropriate and approved by the
City's counsel and the officials authorized herein to execute said documents prior to their
execution; and said officials are hereby authorized to approve said changes on behalf of
the City herein authorized shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of such
documents in accordance with the terms hereof.
Passed by the City Council this 16th day of April, 2002.

HENNEPIN COUNTY,MINNESOTA
H.R.A.RESOLUTION NO.2002-
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
(QUALIFIED HOUSING)DISTRICT NO. 18
BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the
City of Eden Prairie,Minnesota, as follows:
1. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden
Prairie, Minnesota (the "Authority") pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Section 469.001 to 469.047, as amended, approved the following Tax
Increment Financing Districts: Tax Increment Finance District No. 13 on
December 17, 1996; Tax Increment Financing District No. 14 on August
5, 1997; Tax Increment Financing District No. 15 and 16 on July 20, 1999;
and Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 March 20, 2001.
2. It has been further proposed that the Authority approve the creation of
proposed Tax Increment Financing District No. 18 and approve and adopt
the proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Tax Increment Plan")
relating thereto, pursuant to and in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
Section 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended and supplemented
from time to time.
3. The Authority has investigated the facts and has caused to be prepared
with respect thereto the proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 18, defining more precisely the property
to be included, the public cost to be incurred and other matters relating
thereto.
4. The Authority has performed all actions required by law to be performed
prior to the approval and adoption of the proposed Tax Increment
Financing Plan.
5. The Authority hereby determines that it is necessary and in the best
interest of the City and the Authority at this time to create proposed Tax
Increment Financing District No. 18 and to approve and adopt the
proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan relating thereto.
6. Adoption. The Tax Increment Financing Plan is hereby adopted subject to
approval by the City Council as provided in Section 8 based on the
findings in Section 7.
7. Findings. The Authority hereby makes the following findings:
a. The tax increment financing district to be established pursuant to
the Tax Increment Plan (the 'District"), based on the information
in the Tax Increment Plan and representations of the developer,
consists of a project intended for occupancy, in part, by persons of
families of low and moderate income, as defined in Chapter 462A,
Title II of the National Housing Act of 1934, the National Housing
Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended,
Title V of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended, or similar federal
legislation and the regulations promulgated thereunder. As
evidence thereof, the developer represents that the project qualifies
for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The project to be
constructed in the District consists only of housing for individuals
or families of low or moderate income, and no commercial or other
uses are contemplated therein. Therefore, the District qualifies as a
"housing district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes
Section 469.174, Subdivision 11. The income limitations of
Section 469.1761 of the Act are applicable to tenants in the project,
because the District is not located in a targeted area as defined in
Minnesota Statutes Section 462C.02, Subdivision 9, Clause(e).
b. The proposed development, in the opinion of the Authority, would
not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonable foreseeable future and, therefore,
the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary since
private developers could not economically develop the project
without the proposed subsidy.
8. Transmittal. The Authority does hereby transmit the Tax Increment Plan
to the Eden Prairie City Council for approval after the same has been
considered by the Council subsequent to a public hearing to the held in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469.
9. Additional Approvals. It is contemplated the public financial contribution
contemplated in the Tax Increment Financing Plan, including but not
limited to, tax increment financing,may be secured by way of a mortgage
on the property in the District. It is further contemplated that the developer
will obtain construction and/or permanent financing and that it will be
necessary for any security granted to the City and/or Authority to be
subordinated to that of the developer's lender. The approval hereby given
a 9-
to the Tax Increment Financing Plan includes approval for the execution
by the appropriate officers of the Authority of such additional documents
necessary to acquire a secured interest in the property and to subordinate
such interest, to the lien of the developer's construction and/or permanent
financing. The Chair and Executive Director are authorized and directed to
prepare and furnish certified copies of all proceedings and records of the
Authority relating to this transaction and such other affidavits and
certificates as may be required to show the facts relating thereto as such
facts appear on the books and records in the officers' custody and control
or as otherwise known to them; all such certified copies, certificates and
affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall constitute
representations of the Authority as to the truth of all statements contained
therein. The approval hereby given to the various documents referred to
above includes the approval of such additional details therein as may be
necessary and appropriate and such modifications thereof, deletions
therefrom and additions thereto as may be necessary and appropriate and
approved by the Authority's counsel and the officials authorized herein to
execute said documents prior to their execution; and said officials are
hereby authorized to approve said changes on behalf of the Authority. The
execution of any instrument by the appropriate officer or officers of the

Staff Report—The Heights at Valley View
March 22,2002
BACKGROUND
This project was first reviewed at an informational meeting on February 11, 2002. The Board
reviewed four alternative concept plans. The Board directed the developer to work on a housing plan
with no encroachment into the existing conservation easement and to retain trees along Valley View
Road.
The project was initially published for a public hearing on February 25,2002,but was continued to
this meeting to allow time for the developer to meet with the adjoining neighbors and to complete
revised plans. Public notices were sent out for this meeting.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
The site is currently guided office and industrial. A Guide Plan amendment to high density
residential is requested.
The guide plan change will help reduce traffic and provide 20%affordable rental units. This use will
provide housing in close proximity to employment.
SITE PLAN
The site plan shows a 186-unit apartment building. The density is 18.1 units per acre.
The amount of parking required is two spaces per unit or 372 spaces. There are 394 parking spaces,
with 85 provided on the surface and 309 underground. The proposed parking meets City Code
requirements.
The building and parking meet all setback requirements.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
A density increase from 17.4 to 18.1 units per acre is requested. Higher density is appropriate on
this site for traffic reduction and affordable housing. Realife Cooperative is a four-story building
with a density of 26 units per acre.
TREE LOSS AND LANDSCAPING PLAN
There are 6,797 inches of significant trees on the property. The significant tree loss is 32%or 2,203
inches. The required tree replacement is 938 inches.
Staff Report—The Heights at Valley View
March 22,2002
The total landscaping requirement is based on building size and tree replacement or 1,667 inches.
The plan shows 971 inches. By increasing the size of the proposed trees to 3 inches for shade trees
and 5 inches for conifers and additional 390 inches is possible. The remaining 306 inches maybe
planted on the City owned park property east of Valley View Road or along Smetana Lake.
The plant types and location will need to be evaluated to determine if there is proper site vision
distance at the intersections.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS
A bituminous trial is required along Flying Cloud Drive.
DRAINAGE
The project drains to a NURP pond on site.
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The exterior elevations meet the City Code requirement is 75% face brick,natural stone, or glass.
UTILITIES
Utilities are available in Flying Cloud Drive.
CONCLUSION
•
The Community Planning Board should discuss the following questions:
1. Should the land use remain as guided, or be changed to high density residential?
2. A waiver is requested for increased density. Is there a benefit to the City?

Drive and Valley View Road(continued from 2/25/02 meeting).
This project was first reviewed at an informational meeting on February
11, 2002. The Board reviewed four alternative concept plans and directed
the developer to work on a housing plan with no encroachment into the
existing conservation easement and to retain trees along Valley View
Road. Staff recommends approval based on plans dated March 11,2002,
and the staff report dated March 22, 2002.
The public hearing opened at 7:03.
The developer noted their direction from the board was to consider a
development which would stay out of the conservation easement while
lessening the impact on Valley View. They have met with neighbors to
incorporate their concerns while dealing with financial considerations.
They removed several hundred feet of building encroaching into the scenic
easement and moved it to the south side.Parking has remained the same.
There is a lesser impact on Valley View Road and grading has been
minimized. There are four levels of apartment units and three levels of
underground parking with smaller parking lots above ground. Another
goal was to minimize tree loss. The trail has been pulled closer to the
building. The pond has a new shape to accommodate the driveway.
Nancy Ariotta, 10785 Valley View Road,#207, stated when there is tree
loss there is never any quality trees left because the construction kills
trees. She is concerned that junk trees will replace significant trees. She
questioned why an environmental impact study was not being completed.
The design of the building looks like a corporate structure and is not
compatible with the area. This would create competition for the
neighboring senior co-op housing. She is concerned a rental property will
bring with it more crime.
Beth Timm 1161 Raspberry Hill Road, counsel for the developer and a
resident, stated this is a great site for affordable housing because of its
2

Community Planning Board Minutes
March 25,2002
Page 3 of 7
proximity to the Park and Ride, Cub Foods, and shopping. Speaking as a
resident and not as counsel, she would like to see the affordable housing
built.
Susan Gregson, affordable housing committee member from the Pax
Christi Catholic Community, stated she has met with Dominium about the
project and supports affordable housing and this project. They are making
an effort to address the needs of the residents. The affordable housing
committee provided a letter of support to the board and City Council.
MOTION by Stoelting, second by Nelson to close the public hearing.
Motion carried, 8-0.
The public hearing closed at 7:16 p.m.
Stoelting asked staff to address the percentage of tree loss.
Fox stated he reviews each plan for tree loss and the calculations are
locked in. At the time of completion, the project is reviewed. If they go
above the initial calculation in tree loss there is a large penalty. As to the
quality of trees, significant trees are replaced with significant trees and
will mature. He has 20 plus years of experience reviewing projects and
tree loss. Protective fences will be put up during construction.
Sodt inquired asked for clarification on tree replacement.
Fox noted the significant trees here were primarily oak. They will be
replaced with trees that give a balance of seasonal attractiveness,with a
balance of flowering and upper story trees, as well as screening trees that
must be planted. It would be nice to replant with 100% oak,but a diversity
of trees must be planted to address the urban landscape.
Koenig stated there is always concern about saving trees. Keeping
construction out of the drip line of the trees is an issue. She asked whether
there is a way to keep machinery out of the drip line.
Fox noted a realistic construction zone would be established. It is up to the
developer whether they will comply; if they don't comply they will be
penalized.
Lindahl explained the proponent is asking for 67 units or 33% affordable
housing. It has to do with the tax credit financing.It is not a problem; at a
minimum it would have to be 20%.

Sweeney stated the percentage is 33%based on the total unit count, or
about 25%on a square footage basis. There is a need for workforce
housing for the smaller units.The larger units would not be affordable.
One of the things that attracted them to the site was the large mature trees;
they value the trees as a permanent amenity. There is a similar, successful
development on Thomas Lake in Eagan. There is 70%more underground
parking than normal in order to save trees.
Nelson asked whether all 67 units were one bedroom units.
Sweeney stated yes. They are not addressing affordable housing for
families.
Sodt asked whether their market research showed who their target market
would be.
Sweeney stated their customer would be the people working in nearby
offices and retail areas or people currently bussing in from the city. There
will be some seniors.
Koenig stated she appreciated the changes they made and they did
everything they could environmentally. There is a need for housing for
single mothers. She asked whether they would have a few units in there
that could accommodate families.
Sweeney said one of the main concerns was saving trees. A building with
a common entry, sharing an apartment hallway with kids would not make
good neighbors. They do not want to get into a situation where they are
creating problems down the road.
Koenig inquired whether the affordable units would be scattered
throughout the building.
Sweeney stated yes.
Brooks asked for an estimated cost.
Sweeney stated about$120,000 per unit.
Brooks said he agreed with Koenig.There are many apartments with
families in them and a new building like this may attract single parent
families. He would like to see at least a few units serving this need.
Corneille asked whether there was demand in their Eagan project for
single parent housing.

Mark Moorehouse stated they have built similar projects. There is not a
big demand for people with kids to live in apartment units.
Foote asked whether the affordable units would be similar to the others.
Sweeney stated it would be the same design.
Foote inquired whether any were handicapped equipped.
Sweeney noted handicapped accessibility was required..
The developer stated all of the units are adaptable and can be made into
handicapped units. 3-5% are initially built as handicapped. The only
difference between an adaptable unit and handicapped unit are things like
grab bars.
Nelson asked about the size of the doors.
The developer stated the doors are two feet ten inches in width,there will
be roll-in showers. Others can be converted.
Nelson stated she would like to see three foot doors in more of the units;
with the aging population it could be necessary. She inquired about the
balcony size.
The developer stated the balconies are six feet in length.
Corneille said they should not try to take all of their goals for types of
housing and try to put it into one community. The main purpose for this
development would be workforce housing.
Sodt concurred;this is aimed at a particular market,the workforce. They
don't need to solve all of their housing problems with one development.
Brooks asked about what the TIF was based upon and whether it was a
typical scenario.
Lindahl said the total tax base;they want to be consistent with past
projects, and are giving them 90%over a 15 year period. They are
proposing a 17 year term.
Corneille asked about the amount of parking needed meeting city code.

Community Planning Board Minutes
March 25,2002
Page 6 of 7
Franzen stated the parking does meet the code. The parking is 2.12 spaces
per unit.
Corneille inquired about the trail and whether it connects.
Fox stated the recommendation is the trail the length of the project;there
is a trail north of there.
Foote inquired whether the city monitors construction fencing. •
Fox stated they will monitor it if they have a bad experience with a
developer. This is his first experience with the company;they will ensure
tree clearing was done and the fence was up and may periodically check it.
Sodt said he was confused about the height of the building relative to the
Wilson Learning center.
The architect stated the Wilson Learning center was used as an example to
show the height of the building relative to the midpoint of the roof.
Nelson said she was very pleased with the changes with the building and
the sensitivity shown to the neighbors. She would like to see some
transitional work force housing of 2 bedrooms. She hopes they will do
whatever they can to make it usable for many people.
Corneille concurred.
Foote stated it should be noted there is an important distinction between
work force and low-income housing.
Sodt stated he appreciated them pulling away from conservation easement.
Motion by Koenig second by Stoelting to approve The Heights At Valley
View by Eden Prairie Leased Housing Associates I,LP. Request for:
Guide Plan Change from Office/Industrial to High Density Residential on
10.26 acres,Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 10.26 acres,

Re: The Heights at Valley View
Eden Prairie, MN
Dear Councilmember Case:
We are pleased to present The Heights at Valley View development application to the
City Council for your consideration. The development is located at the northwest corner
of Valley View Road and Flying Cloud Drive. We know Staff has prepared a detailed
memorandum for your benefit. We thought it might also be helpful to describe the
process that has resulted in the specific application before you now.
Dominium placed the subject parcel of land under contract on September 10, 2001.
Immediately thereafter we met with Staff asking for input in terms of land use, affordable
component, density, tree buffers, etc. We took that input and began a lengthy process of
designing a project that we think most suits this very special site.
Community Planning Board
On February 11, 2002, we presented four site plans before the Community Planning
Board asking for direction. Two of the site plans were for office use and two for
apartment use. The CPB clearly preferred multi-family and they had some very direct
goals that they asked Dominium to accomplish, including:
a) no encroachment on the conservation easement at the north end of the site,
b) maintain a tree buffer along Valley View Road,
c) engage in a meaningful dialogue with the Enblom family, an adjacent
landowner, and
d) continue dialogue with Real Life Coop residents.

We then revised the site plan by shrinking the building footprint out of the conservation
easement on the north end and shrinking the building 40 feet further away from Valley
View Road. The result is three significant tree buffers: 1) conservation easement on
north end; 2) along Valley View Road; and 3) along the shared property line with the
Enblom family.
On March 25`h, we went back before the CPB with a revised site plan that was
unanimously approved 8-0. At this meeting,the CPB asked about,but did not require,
that some two-bedroom units be made part of the affordable component.
Affordable Component
Our original site plan had 196 units, of which 67 one-bedroom units were affordable at
50% AMI. The site plan before you reflects a smaller building totaling 186 units. After
the March 25th CPB meeting, we met with Staff to discuss this project's affordable
component. The revised plan has a total of 63 affordable units, of which 10 units are
two-bedroom.
Staff was receptive to decreasing the overall number of affordable units from 67 to 63
and increasing the number of two-bedroom affordable units. Staff offered tangible
support in the form of a$75,000 increase to the proposed block grant to help cover the
additional gap. The proposed Community Development Block Grant is now$375,000.
The Heights at Valley View will have a community center consisting of a
leasing/business office, community room, computer/conference room and fitness room.
Additionally, a pool will be provided for the enjoyment of all the residents. We hope that
any children living on-site will avail themselves of after-school activities in the
community room and computer room.
Real Life Cooperative
Representatives of Dominium have twice met with Real Life Coop residents. At the first
meeting, we discussed our original site plan. The second meeting,held after the
Community Planning Board informational meeting, outlined the revised site plan.
Enblom Family
By April 16th, we will have met with the Enblom family a total of four times to discuss a
variety of issues and potential resolutions to same. The following table delineates their
requests and Dominium's response:

Conclusion
To summarize, the revised site plan represents a collaborative effort involving several
parties. City staff and the Community Planning Board have been very clear conveying
their goals and objectives as reflected in the revised site plan and affordable unit mix.
Dominium has also worked hard to communicate with neighborhood residents in an
attempt to achieve resolution on many of their issues. The result before you is an
economically integrated community designed to minimize the environmental impact on
the site and to provide housing for a wide variety of residents working in the City Center
and Golden Triangle. By housing persons working in Eden Prairie and by promoting
reverse commuting, we anticipate The Heights at Valley View will help minimize traffic
congestion within the Golden Triangle.
We at Dominium are proud of The Heights of Valley View and we hope you will
support our vision. Please feel free to contact us with your questions and comments at
(763)354-5500.

To the Eden Prairie City Council, -- -- --April 7,2002
THIS LETTER SERVES TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY OBLJECTIONS TO THE
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED CALLED "The Heights at Valley View". IT IS TO BE
HEARD AT A PUBLIC HEARING AT CITY COUNCIL ON TUESDAY, APRIL 16,
2002. THIS IS MY PERSONAL OBJECTION AND DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL
PEOPLES AT MY BUILDING ADDRESS.
Nancy Arieta, 10785 Valley View Rd. #207, Eden Prairie,MN 55344
#1. The project to be built is way too large.
#2. Tax Increment Financing dollars that are proposed to be used for this
developer and the project is WRONG.
#3. Developers need to come up with their own dollars, they did in many
years past and they can do it again,we the tax payers do not need to foot their income.
#d. The design does not blend into the environment and does not blend with
the surrounding buildings. It looks like an out-of-place building that could go to section
8 in a few years or maybe a homeless shelter. It does not represent a quality look nor.
does it look like it is wanted.
#5. The project, if it is to go forth, needs to be only one-half the size of
building units with only one level of parking under the building. It would lessen the
impact on the surrounding environment and not look like a sore thumb that is not
connected to the rest of the hand. To the best of my knowledge, the buildings
surrounding the site and the area have no three stories under their buildings. Putting
more and more building up in the area with four stories will only encourage developers to
go higher and being that could happen, they will overshadow the offices developments
plus create a mindset of a downtown wind tunnel. Eden Prairie residents needs some
open sky and when Eden Prairie builds tall structures the sky becomes hidden. We need
to go out to the—COUNTRY—IN ORDER TO SEE THE SKY. It is true,my son
moved to Zimmerman and said, "Wow, I can see the stars,the shapes in the sky, the sky
looks open and so very beautiful". Please leave open space for us in the sky and on the
ground. Open space is precious; concrete, blacktop and buildings are not creations that
ALWAYS satisfies. Please allow Eden Prairie and its residents to have areas of woods
and nature. Our Eastern edge of Eden Prairie has been targeted to be buildings BUT
there can be planned forests within this large office, warehouse, industrial area of Eden
Prairie. This property needs to be left intact as is without any buildings or construction of
any type.
#6. The senior aged residents in the area would have a difficult time with the
kind of added population of the above proposed building. The traffic generated by that
building project would definitely create a problem for the senior residents. The kind of
/1
traffic, such as speedy,noisy,careless will bring more traffic danger for our residents in
our building at Realife Valley View Co-op. The crime of stolen vehicles, broken
vehicles,broken into buildings or apartment and robberies will climb,that is info from
the police department. The tragedies that can occur in that type of project will create
unrest, dangers and possibly move-outs by our residents because of problems from the
proposed project.
#7. There has been no environmental impact study done and it needs to be
done. We have Nine-mile creek just at Valley View and the run oit dirt, oil, grease,
garbage and other junk or hazards will end up in the Creek. The trees that will be lost
will be a significant loss to our environment. Air quality will become poorer without the
trees,dirt will increase, exhaust and fumes and will dirty and smell-up the air. I myself
came from Lake Nokomis area and the trees around the neighborhood, without a doubt,
gave a hope for our air. We had planes overhead, fumes from fuels, dirt from exhausts
and more and if we had taken away our oak trees that stood so high and proud,we would
have no protection. Look at the African continent—loss of trees—DO YOU WANT
EDEN PRAIRIE TO BECOME A DESERT? The trees that are to replace the ones that
would be taken for the project are only a"?"
because all trees are never replaced on or near the site. Replacements are usually junk
trees and not the quality that was taken. We would lose quality environmental and
beautiful trees that are hardwoods. Birds of all kinds like hardwood forests so how do
developers usually get by with putting in JUNK SOFTWOOD EVERGREENS OR
THOSE RIDICULOUS THINGS YOU CALL TREES THAT ARE PLANTED ALONG
SMETANA JUST ABOVE THE HOLDING POND AT VALLEY VIEW or THOSE
SILLY LOOKING TREES THAT LOOK LIKE A BROKEN UMBRELLA WITHOUT
MATERIAL BUT ONLY SPOKES STICKING OUT SIDEWAYS. This is our
environment we live in—let's make it beautiful, live-worthy, air that smells and is clean.
We want WATER CLEAN and WHAT'S WRONG with WANTING our AIR CLEAN?
Good air NEEDS a way to KEEP it clean and trees are a HUGE HELP TO KEEP IT
GOING! I WANT TO SEE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY DONE!
#8. Dominium Development Company or their partnership called Eden Prairie
Leased Housing Associates, LLP or as the Eden Prairie NEWS prints it,Associates I,LP,
owns Century Court Apartments in Richfield. Century Court Apartments has been a
crime ridden place and drugs dealing place for many, many years. It has fallen into
disarray, repairs have not been kept up. Police blotters have a strong history of crime
people have committed who have lived, visited or roomed at Century Court Apartments
on 76t'and Lyndale Avenue South. Police calls abound to that address. We, in Eden
Prairie, do not want that kind of ownership, management and development in our
neighborhood or community. Those who own, develop and manage that kind of property
can look elsewhere to create problems, but not in Eden Prarie, Minnesota. We are proud
of our community and like to have a good record of sound property ownership and
management.
#9. I object to this project being HUD funded. The developer has never given
clear, accurate,honest information regarding this project. The units that were to be
I
affordable originally were to be no more than 20%of 198 not as proposed now at 67
units. There is to now be 186 units at four stories with three levels of underground
parking. The affordability of 50%of median income for Minneapolis Metro area is way
low for our area and not only that,it would open our area to transient low income
population which has proven an increase in crime. There needs to be owner occupied
property and not in the affordable range. Luxury condos with a forest in its backyard
developed by a company that does not put in affordable units but instead a company that
has a stake in our community such as the proposed developer does not. '111., financing
brings about developers who really do not put their stake in the community and then they
get what they want, such as Best Buy, and then they're out of here ready to stick it to
some more taxpayers somewhere else. We are a co-op of 62+years and to have
apartment with transient populations here is not in the best interest of our community nor
is it in the best interest of our neighborhood. IF Eden Prairie is really about having a
cohesive community, then building this affordable building by this absentee landlord who
does not care if he has a crime packed apartment complex under his ownership and
management is WRONG! It is not always the best thing to build in an Oak Savannah
where the trees and nature will never, ever recover from the hurt and damage. We will
never have this opportunity again to save a precious commodity—NATURE - .
There was something precious in years past when people had to work hard, save,take
less than what the other guy had in order to have a dream of owning a house some day.
Where is the opportunity today to allow that time of a dream to grown to ripen to
become fruit? IF we give affordable units, then we are destroying dreams of peoples of
all walks of life, we need to strive as a people because without that,why bother, it's too
easy. There is nothing wrong with reaching upward by a people to feel that THERE IS A
WAY and that affordability can mean perhaps a different place or way to live until the
opportunity comes where a people can make it happen,just like the people in older years
where THEY MADE IT,THEY WORKED HARD, THEY SAVED, THEY DID WITH
LESS IN ORDER TO DO IT! Give people a chance, don't always give them meat when
they only can handle milk Living in a way lesser can often be better. We did it.
#10. The developer was one name, Dominium Development and now they say
it is Eden Prairie Leased Housing Associates, LLP. Limited Liability?
Do they do this in case they fall or falter on their loan so they don't have much in assets
to pay off any loans or other financial obligations?
Why do we as a community make it possible for them to be able to default on obligations
or loans just so we can build and assess taxes? Does Eden Prairie have the right thought
—is it the Metro Council saying we can get some more county dollars if we put in more
affordable housing? Are we selling our souls to satisfy the powers just so they can tax us
all the more down the road. There are questions here to consider and as a community our
souls are eternal not earthly—THINK ABOUT IT.
Dominium Development has not always been truthful about their information. They have
NOT ALWAYS owned, operated,managed and developed all of their properties. They
told us they did ALWAYS own and manage their own properties except for about 2 or 4
but we now find out otherwise. I don't find that to be trustworthy when they cannot be
truthfuL
41 1. Please consider not allowing the development to go forward and not to do
Tax Increment Financing. Please consider the developer can have enough monies to do it
elsewhere in another community. We can in Eden Prairie require integrity and honesty in
a builder and I don't believe Dominium Development aka Eden Prairie Leased Housing
Associates, LLP or I,LP has that quality Eden Prairie desires or wants.
+12. Please consider turning this piece of land into a forested, natural site that is
to be preserved for all time. Is there a way for a conservancy to buy this land and keep it
the way it is without destroying another chunk of our investment in our future clean air
and water? Seems like other areas of Eden Prairie have had chunks of beauty set aside
with some helps of different agencies,how about doing the same with this? Will the
owner of the land see fit to help this future for clean air and water and donate, give or sell
to a conservancy?
Thank you for all your time and effort on this and for hearing what I've had to say
regarding preserving a piece of creation to care for in a special way. Keep land around
us. As I read a piece of news that Eden Prairie had in the paper a couple of years ago, the
ordinance said there was to be a buffer between all developments. Strange how this did
not seem to come about when I look out my deck and see immediately next door this
luxury senior coop. When it was being built,I called city hall about land between us and
trees that were to be left there, but to no avail, the trees were taken down and what we
have between our buildings now is no more than a bandaid, if that. If the luxury coop
builds a further extension for their parking, that bandaid will disappear based on the plans
that were made. The best plans do not always stay according to specs at Eden Prairie and
that's too bad because it may happen too with this Heights at Valley View Proposal.

designated as Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2 (the "Regulations"), governing the use of
the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, all or a portion of which are to be used to project expenditures
paid prior to the date of issuance of such bonds. The Regulations require that the City adopt a
statement of official intent to reimburse an original expenditure not later than sixty days after
payment of the original expenditure. The Regulations also generally require that the bonds be
issued and the reimbursement allocation made from the proceeds of the bonds occur within
eighteen months after the later of: (i) the date the expenditure is paid; or(ii) the date the project

expenditures with respect to the Project, the City reasonably expects to reimburse the Company

expenditures, a cost of issuance of the Bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement

Based on representations by the Company, other than (i) expenditures to be paid or

under prior regulations pursuant to the transitional provision contained in Section 1.150-
2(j)(2)(i)(B) of the Regulations, (iii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures within
the meaning of Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, or (iv) expenditures in a "de minimus"
amount (as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations), no expenditures with respect to
the Project have been made by the Company more than sixty days before the date of adoption of
this resolution.
6.3. Based on representations by the Company, as of the date hereof, there are no
funds of the Company reserved, allocated on a long term-basis or otherwise set aside (or
reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to
provide permanent financing for the expenditures related to the Project to be financed from
proceeds of the Bonds, other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. This resolution,
therefore, is determined to be consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances of the
Company as they exist or are reasonably foreseeable on the date hereof.
Section 7. Costs. The Company will pay the administrative fees of the City and pay,
or, upon demand, reimburse the City for payment of, any and all costs incurred by the City in
connection with the Project, the Minneapolis Facility, and the issuance of the Bonds, whether or
not the Bonds are issued.
• Section 8. Commitment Conditional. The adoption of this resolution does not
constitute a guarantee or a firm commitment that the City of Blaine will issue the Bonds as
requested by the Company. The City also retains the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw
from participation should the City Council, at any time prior to the issuance thereof, determine

Minneapolis Facility or should the parties to the transaction be unable to reach agreement as to
the terms and conditions of any of the documents for the transaction.
Section 9. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after
its passage.

9091 Neill Lake Road, 12166 Oxbow Drive, and 7525 Carnelian Lane in the City (the "City
Homes"). The Project (as hereinafter defined) will be undertaken to further the policies and
goals stated in the City's Housing Plan.
The Project will consist of discharging the existing indebtedness related to the acquisition
of twenty-two residential group home facilities for the developmentally disabled (collectively,
the "Project") in the City of Blaine, Minnesota (the "Issuer"), the City of Bloomington,
Minnesota ("Bloomington"), the City of Brooklyn Park ("Brooklyn Park"), the City of Eden
Prairie, Minnesota("Eden Prairie"), the City of Edina, Minnesota ("Edina"), the City of Golden
Valley, Minnesota ("Golden Valley"), the City of Minnetonka, Minnesota ("Minnetonka"), the
City of Plymouth, Minnesota("Plymouth"), and the City of Richfield ("Richfield" and, together
with the Issuer, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, Minnetonka,
and Plymouth, referred to collectively as the "Joint Powers Participants"), and financing the
rehabilitation of the residential group home facilities for the developmentally disabled
comprising the Project.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the "Act"), the City is
authorized to develop and administer programs to finance the rehabilitation and refinancing of
multifamily housing developments and health care facilities under the circumstances and within
the limitations set forth in the Act. Section 462C.07 of the Act provides that such programs for
developments may be financed through the issuance of revenue bonds or obligations payable
exclusively from the revenues of the program or developments.
The City has received a proposal that it approve a program providing for the
rehabilitation and refinancing with respect to the City Homes. The rehabilitation and refinancing
of the City Homes and the other facilities of the Project are to be funded through the issuance of
up to $4,000,000 in revenue bonds (the "Bonds") to be issued by the City of Blaine, Minnesota
(the "Issuer"), pursuant to the terms of a Joint Powers Agreement (the "Joint Powers
Agreement"), between the Issuer and the Joint Powers Participants. Fraser, a Minnesota
nonprofit corporation(the"Owner")will own the Project.
The City, in establishing this multifamily housing program (the "Program"), has
considered the information contained in the City's comprehensive plan. The Project will be
refinanced and rehabilitated in accordance with the requirements of Subdivisions 1 and 2 of
Section 462C.05 of the Act.

Section B. Program For Financing the Project. It is proposed that the City establish this
Program to provide financing for the rehabilitation and refinancing of the Project at a cost and
upon such other terms and conditions as are set forth herein and as may be agreed upon in
writing between the Issuer, the initial purchaser of the Bonds, and the Owner. The City expects
the Bonds to be issued as soon as the terms of the Bonds have been agreed upon by the Issuer,
the Owner, and the initial purchaser of the Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned by
the Issuer to the Owner to finance the rehabilitation and refinancing of the Project, to fund
required reserves(if any), and to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds.
It is anticipated that the Bonds will have a maturity of thirty years or less and will bear
interest at a variable rate or at fixed rates consistent with the market at the time of issuance.
The City will hire no additional staff for the administration of the Program. No
administrative costs will be paid from the City's budget with respect to this Program. The Bonds
will not be general or moral obligations of the City and will not be secured by any property or
assets of the City. The Bonds will be paid solely from properties pledged to the payment thereof,
which may include additional security such as additional collateral, insurance, or a letter of
credit.
Section C. Standards and Requirements Relating to the Financing of the Project Pursuant
to the Program. The following standards and requirements shall apply with respect to the
operation of the Project by the Owner pursuant to this Program:
(1) Substantially all of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be applied to the
rehabilitation and refinancing of the Project, the payment of the costs of issuing the Bonds, and
to the funding of appropriate reserves (if any). The proceeds derived from the sale of the Bonds
will be made available to the Owner pursuant to the terms of the Bond offering, which will
include certain covenants to be made by the Owner to the Issuer and the Joint Powers
Participants regarding the use of proceeds and the character and use of the Project.
(2) The Owner, and any subsequent owner of the Project, will not arbitrarily reject an
application from a proposed tenant because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex,
marital status, or status with regard to public assistance or disability.
(3) The Project has been designed to be affordable by persons and families with
Adjusted Gross Income not in excess of the greater of(a) one hundred and ten percent of the
median family income as estimated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development for Hennepin County, or (b) one hundred percent of the income limits established
by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for the City and by other persons and families to the
extent determined to be necessary by the City in furtherance of the policy of economic
integration.
Subsection D. Evidence of Compliance. The Issuer may require from the Owner at or
before the issuance of the Bonds, evidence satisfactory to the Issuer and the Joint Powers
Participants of the ability and intention of the Owner to complete the rehabilitation of the Project,
and evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of compliance with the standards and requirements for the
making of the loan to be financed with the proceeds of the Bonds; and in connection therewith,
the Issuer or its representatives may inspect the relevant books and records of the Owner in order
to confirm such ability, intention, and compliance. In addition, the Issuer may periodically
require certification from either the Owner or such other person deemed necessary concerning
compliance with various aspects of this Program.
Subsection E. Issuance of Bonds. To finance the Program authorized by this Section the
City will by resolution enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with the Issuer and the Participant
Cities to provide for the authorization, issuance, and sale by the Issuer of the Bonds in an
aggregate principal amount of approximately$4,000,000. The Bonds will be issued pursuant to
Section 462C.07, Subdivision 1, of the Act, and will be payable primarily from the revenues of
the Program and the Project. The costs of the Project, including costs of issuance of the Bonds
and required reserve funds (if any), are presently expected to be in excess of the principal
amount of the Bonds. It is expected that the Owner and its affiliates will contribute to the Project
the difference between the total costs of the Project and the principal amount of the Bonds
available to finance the Project. The costs of the Project may change between the date of
preparation of this Program and the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are expected to be
issued in April of 2002.
Subsection F. Severability. The provisions of this Program are severable and if any of its
provisions, sentences, clauses or paragraphs shall be held unconstitutional, contrary to statute,
exceeding the authority of the City or otherwise illegal or inoperative by any court of competent
jurisdiction,the decision of such court shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions.
Subsection G. Amendment. The City shall not amend this Program, while Bonds
authorized hereby are outstanding,to the detriment of the holders of such Bonds.
Subsection H. State Ceiling. The Bonds will be issued as "qualified 501(c)(3) bonds"
and, therefore, will not require an allocation of the state ceiling for private activity bonds,
pursuant to Section 146 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 474A, as amended.

Requested Action
Synopsis
We received a request for a place on the April 16 Council Meeting Agenda for a presentation by
an Eden Prairie group called"Clean Air on the Prairie." We understand this group will have
several representatives who will discuss their concerns about the negative effects of second-hand
smoke from tobacco use in the workplace. Mr. Leslie Ellis will introduce the presenters.
Following their presentation, Councilmember Mosman plans to make a motion for the Council's
consideration to form a Task Force to study this issue.
Assuming the Council desires to proceed with action on this issue,it seems appropriate to refer
this matter to staff for the gathering of any further background information for Council
discussion at a future workshop. The earliest currently available Workshop date on our schedule
is May 21.

Parks and Recreation Regarding Moving the Altmann House
Robert A. Lambert Director/0--
Requested Action
OPTION I
Move to: Deny the request to relocate the house to the Riverview Road site and authorize
staff to proceed with the public sale of the house as soon as possible. The City
Council will deal with any request to relocate the house with the person that
acquires the house through the sealed bid process.
OPTION II
Move to: Delay development of the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area access for one
year in order to give the proponent an opportunity to find a new location for the
house.
OPTION III
Move to: Approve the request to move the house to the Riverview Road site subject to the
proponent successfully acquiring the house through the sealed bid public sale.
Synopsis
The Peterson family has had a personal connection with the house for over 40 years and would
like to save the house if at all possible. Mr. Peterson would like to relocate the house to property
he owns on Riverview Road south of Highway 212. The parcel is presently zoned Rural and is
part of a larger parcel that extends south of Highway 212 and is proposed to be purchased by the
U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service for the Minnesota Wildlife Refuge and Recreation Area.
At the March 19, 2002 meeting the Council requested staff to draft a letter to the U.S. Fish acid
Wildlife Service to determine several questions:
1
City Council Agenda 4/16/02
Peterson/Briggs Request
Page 2
1. Is the property still within the proposed boundaries for the Minnesota Valley National
Wildlife Refuge?
2. Would the U. S.'Fish and Wildlife Service consider changing the boundaries to eliminate
that parcel from the Refuge?
3. What is the timeline for purchasing the remaining property proposed for the Refuge
within Eden Prairie?
Attached to this memorandum is a letter from Rick Schultz, Refuge Manager, responding to
those questions. Mr. Schultz will be in attendance at the April 16th meeting.
• At the March 19th meeting, the City Council also took action to suspend work on the proposed
parking lot and access to the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area and suspend the
termination of the lease with the Briggs family. A copy of that notice is also attached to the
memorandum.
ackground
The City purchased the house and 68 acres from Darrill Peterson on a five year contract for deed
in 1995. At that time, staff told the Briggs family that the City would eventually remove the
house from that site, as it would not serve any useful purpose for park property.
On October 15, 2001, the Heritage Preservation Commission unanimously voted to recommend
removal of the house to accommodate park use. A previous historical assessment report done by
a consultant indicated that it was a nice older home, but due to the site (farm buildings having
been removed),the age, and the architectural style, the building wasn't historically significant.
On November 6, 2001, the City Council unanimously approved removal or demolition of the
house to accommodate park use of the site.
In January of 2002, Jean Johnson, Zoning Enforcement Inspector, informed the park and
recreation staff that Sever Peterson was applying for approval to move the house to property he
owned between Riverview Road and Highway 212 on property that will eventually be purchased
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the Minnesota River Valley Refuge and Recreation
Area. Park and Recreation staff indicated to Jean Johnson that she should inform Mr. Peterson
that staff would recommend denial of any permit to build a house on bluff property guided for
Public Open Space and within the proposed boundaries for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Refuge Area.
On March 19, 2002, Mr. Peterson submitted his request for consideration by the City Council.
The City Council requested staff to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine
additional information regarding the status of the property. Rick Schultz, Refuge Manager, has
indicated that the property is still in the proposed boundaries of the Refuge and that he would not
recommend changing the boundaries as suggested for several reasons:
City Council Agenda 4/16/02
Peterson/Briggs Request
Page 3
While the 1.5 acre location of the propose house has a farming history, it lies within a few
hundred yards of an original native prairie. "Upon acquisition, this parcel will be restored to
native grasses and will become part of a much larger tract known as our Upgrala Unit." "Most
importantly, the Upgrala Unit, in combination with a portion of the Eden Prairie bluffs,which is
now owned by the City, is the largest remaining tract of native prairie in this part of Minnesota.
It is a very sensitive and biologically diverse area that supports several hundred species of native
grasses and forbs. The most effective way to manage and maintain the diversity of these prairie
communities is through periodic prescribed burns." Placing a home in the middle of an area that
will require periodic burns will cause management problems for as long as it would be located
there.
Riverview Road will eventually be abandoned and designated a hiking and bicycle trail that will
connect the City of Eden Prairie's trails with the Minnesota Valley State Trail locate in
Shakopee. "As currently planned, most of Riverview Road will be closed to vehicle traffic and
converted to pedestrian use. We are very excited about this opportunity and believe that this trail
will provide access to the Upgrala Unit by an array of Eden Prairie residents, including hikers,
bicyclists, school age children, the elderly, bird watchers, photographers, and those who just
want to learn about the"prairie" in Eden Prairie."
Considerations:
Every time a home is jacked up and moved there is structural damage caused to the home. The
home should not be located to a site where it is destined to have to be moved again or destroyed.
If the goal is to preserve the home as a valuable historic home, it should be located where it can
remain well into the future.
When a home is relocated,by law, it must be brought up to current building codes. It will take a
significant investment in this house to remove the asbestos in the heating system ducts, and bring
the house up to code. Effort should be made to find a permanent site for the house to make this
type of investment feasible.
The City has spent a considerable amount of time on studies and recommendations on code
changes that would help protect the Minnesota River bluffs with a goal of preserving or restoring
as much of the land between the top of the bluff and the floodplain as possible. If that remains a
goal of this Council, staff would not recommend accommodating a request that would make that
goal more difficult.

SUBJECT: Sever Peterson Request
Dear Mr. Schultz:
At the March 19, 2002 Eden Prairie City Council meeting, Sever Peterson requested permission
to acquire a home on City parkland designated for demolition, and the right to relocate it on a
one and half acre parcel owned by him north of Riverview Road and south of U. S. Highway
212. That parcel is immediately west of property owned by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and is within the proposed boundaries of the Minnesota Wildlife Refuge and Recreation Area.
The City Council directed City staff to contact the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ask the
following questions:
1. Is that property still within the proposed boundaries of the Minnesota Valley Wildlife
Refuge?
2. Would the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service consider changing the boundaries to eliminate
that parcel from the proposed Refuge? If not,why not?
3. What is the timeline for purchasing the remaining property proposed for the Refuge
within Eden Prairie?
The house that is proposed to be moved onto this property is currently located on the Richard T.
Anderson Conservation Area property located at 18700 Flying Cloud Drive. The house was
constructed around the 1920's or 30's and is in excellent condition. The City of Eden Prairie
would like to see this fine old home preserved if at all possible, and Mr. Peterson is willing to
preserve the home at his expense on the Riverview Road property.
This issue will be reviewed again at the April 16th meeting of the Eden Prairie City Council. I
would appreciate a written response to these questions by April 8th in order to include it in the
Council packet for that meeting.

Director of Parks and Recreation Services

Eden Prairie,Minnesota 55344-4485
Dear Mr. Lambert:
Thank you for the letter concerning Mr. Sever Peterson's proposal to acquire and relocate an
older home on property he owns near Riverview Road. We sincerely appreciate Mr. Peterson's
and the City Council's desires to preserve this old home and in doing so, save an important piece
of this area's history. We also acknowledge Mr.Peterson's long standing interest in the natural
resources of the Minnesota River plus the City's efforts to preserve and protect these important
habitats. We are hopeful that there is a way to achieve the preservation of this home without
compromising the area's natural resource values as well.
We offer the following responses to these questions which were contained in your letter:
1. Is that property still within the proposed boundaries of the Minnesota Valley[National]
Wildlife Refuge?
The one and one-half acre property located between Riverview Road and U.S. Highway
212 is located within the proposed boundary of Minnesota Valley National Wildlife
Refuge. This lot in question has a farming history but lies within a few hundred yards of
original native prairie. Upon acquisition,this parcel will be restored to native grasses
and will become part of a much larger tract known as our Upgrala Unit. This unit is
approximately 2,300 acres in size and contains important and unique fish,wildlife, and.
plant communities. Most importantly,the Upgrala Unit, in combination with a portion of
the Eden Prairie Bluffs which is now owned by the City,is the largest remaining tract of
native prairie in this part of Minnesota. It is a very sensitive and biologically diverse area
that supports several hundred species of native grasses and forbs. The most effective way
to manage and maintain the diversity of these prairie communities is through periodic
prescribed burns. In fact,the Refuge in cooperation.with the City,Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources,private landowners, and others, are hoping to burn this
area within the next six weeks. Without question,this area needs to be preserved and
managed for,its intrinsic natural resource values.
Following the acquisition of these lands,the Refuge will designate and/or construct a
hiking and bicycling trail that will connect the City of Eden Prairie's trails with the
Minnesota Valley State Trail located in Shakopee. As currently planned,most of
5
Riverview Road will be closed to vehicle traffic and converted to pedestrian use. We are
very excited about this opportunity and believe that this trail will provide access to the
Upgrala Unit by an array of Eden Prairie residents including hikers,bicyclists,school-
aged children,the elderly,bird watchers,photographers,and those who just want to learn
more about the"prairie"in Eden Prairie. Once again,we envision working very closely
with your staff in the design and development of the trail system across the Upgrala Unit.
We sincerely appreciate the work the City has done in the past to preserve the Eden
Prairie Bluffs. As we speak to others across this country about conservation efforts,we
always describe the City's conservation initiative in concert with both state and federal
agencies as a shining example of a productive partnership designed to protect a nationally
significant resource.
2. Would the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service consider changing the boundaries to eliminate
that parcel from the proposed Refuge? If not, why not?
In responding to this question,we have considered changing the boundary but have
decided that this change would not be in the best interest of the Refuge and the natural
resources were are entrusted to restore and protect. The present boundary of the Upgrala
Unit was established nearly 25 years ago when both the Master Plan and the
Comprehensive Conservation Plan for the Refuge and the associated Minnesota Valley
State Trail were completed. These documents were prepared in cooperation with the City
and the planners took into account several factors before settling on the current boundary.
Among these factors included the presence of important natural resources,locations of
existing homes and developments, locations of proposed nature trails, and the ability of
the Refuge to manage these lands safely, effectively, and efficiently.
As mentioned above,the only effective way to maintain this native prairie community is
through periodic prescribed burns. These burns,which require a prescribed set of
weather conditions including narrow ranges of humidity,wind direction, and wind speed,
can easily be thwarted if smoke begins to drift into residential areas. The location of a
home on the one and one-half acre lot would complicate both our existing and future
prescribed burning efforts. Over the long term,this proposed residence would frustrate
the Refuge's and the City's ability to effectively maintain the native plant diversity of the
Eden Prairie Bluffs. In addition,the presence of a residence located on Riverview Road
may complicate the development of a hiking and biking trail in this area.
3. What is the timeline for purchasing the remaining property proposed for the Refuge
within Eden Prairie?
The highest priority acquisitions within the authorized Refuge boundary are lands within
the Upgrala Unit. Consequently, several conservation organizations including the
Friends of the Minnesota Valley and the Trust for Public Lands are working with
Congress to appropriate no less than$5 million for land acquisition in Fiscal Year 2002.
If Congress agrees,these funds would become available sometime after October 1,2002.
The funding will be specifically targeted for acquisition of lands within the Upgrala Unit
and upon the expenditure of these funds,an additional appropriation will be sought to
complete the acquisition of lands within this area.
Over the years,the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service has made purchase offers to essentially
all landowners who owned property within the authorized boundary of the Refuge. To
our knowledge,Mr.Peterson had not yet expressed a desire to sell his lands to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. Should we receive an appropriation for the acquisition of
these lands,Mr. Peterson and other landowners within the Upgrala Unit will be contacted
concerning the potential sale of their properties. Even if Mr.Peterson were allowed to
establish a residence on the lot,the Refuge will maintain its plans to acquire this property
at a significantly higher cost and upon doing so,the home would be removed from that
location.
In closing, thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention. We sincerely appreciate working
with the City of Eden Prairie on the conservation and management of this locally and nationally
significant natural resource. We also hope that Mr.Peterson can find a suitable location to
relocate and preserve this older home. Please feel free to contact me at 952-858-0701 should
you have any additional questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
S-ar

Re: Mr. Sever Peterson's proposal to acquire and relocate an older home to property
he owns near the intersection of U.S. Highway 212 and Riverview Road.
Dear Mayor Tyra-Lukens and Council Members:
I recommend denial of the request by Mr. Sever Peterson to relocate a house
to a 1 1/2 acre parcel that he owns near the intersection of U.S. Highway 212
and Riverview Road.
(1) It should be noted that Mr. Peterson would have to first purchase the
house from the City of Eden Prairie through a competitive, closed-bid process
-- there is no guarantee that he will succeed in re-owning the house.
(2) The property for the proposed new location of the house lies within the
proposed boundary of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. When,
as intended, the parcel is acquired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, it
will be restored to native grasses and be managed as part of the Upgrala Unit
of the refuge. The Upgrala Unit and the city's Prairie Bluffs Conservation
Area make up the largest surviving prairie in this part of Minnesota. The
prairie is thousands of years old and harbors several hundred species of
native plants and grasses and is a segment of one of the most important bird
flyways in the nation.
(3) The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge is the nation's largest,
metropolitan wildlife refuge. As metro populations mushroom (as predicted)
its role as a regional recreation area will greatly increase. Any new
structures moved to within the proposed boundaries of the refuge would add
unnecessary complications and costs to tax payers.
(4) Prairie management techniques practiced by Eden Prairie and the Refuge
which include controlled burns would be adversely affected by any structure
on the parcel.
9
(5) The parcel sits on a planned hiking and bicycling frail along Riverview
Road that will network with Eden Prairie, Refuge and Minnesota Valley State
trails. A home on this parcel would complicate public use of the trail.
I recommend that the City Council deny Mr. Peterson's request. I also
suggest that the City Council encourage Mr. Peterson to consider other less
problematical options to protect and relocate the house if he succeeds in
acquiring it; to consider options which would be in the best interests of the
people and tax payers of Eden Prairie and Minnesota as well in the best
interests of a nationally acknowledge recreational and envirnmental
resource.

David Lindahl, Hennepin County LRT Study
Community Development
Requested Action
No action requested.
Synopsis
Last February Metro Transit presented the Council with plans to perform a feasibility study for a
dedicated bus corridor from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie on the old Chicago-Northwestern rail
right of way now owned by Hennepin County. The study was suspended in December when the
Legislature limited its scope to the areas of Hopkins and St. Louis Park. The legislative action
was the result of a bill sponsored by State Representative Tom Workman.
Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority(HCRRA) now plans to conduct a study of potential
rail-transit alternatives along the same corridor. The alternatives include Light Rail Transit
(LRT) and self-propelled diesel rail cars that are popular in Europe. The study will evaluate rail
feasibility, ridership potential, traffic impacts, land use, and environmental impacts. It began in
February and should be completed by December 2002.
The County will be presenting an overview of the proposed feasibility plan at the April 16,2002
Council meeting and will focus primarily on the public participation process.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: April 16, 2002
SECTION: Reports of Director Parks and Recreation Services
SERVICE AREA/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION:Recommendation to ITEM NO:
Parks and Recreation Revise the School District/City Joint Powers
Robert A.Lambert Director Agreement for Operation of Oak Point Pool
Requested Action
Move to: Revise the Joint Powers Agreement Between Independent School District 271 and the
City of Eden Prairie by providing a notice of termination of the Agreement dated October
29, 1995, as per terms of the Agreement and request the School District agree to the
revised Joint Powers Agreement for Oak Point pool in which the School District and City
agree to charge the same rate for City and School pools.
Synopsis
The School District rents pool time from the City at the Community Center and the City rents pool time
from the School District at Oak Point pool. City and School District staff believe the most equitable
method for charging the City for school pool use is to use the same rate per hour for use of Oak Point
pool that the City charges the School District for use of the Community Center pool. The School would
not rent pool time by the lane, but would allow rental of the six lane pool or the six lane pool with the
water slide pool.
The revised Agreement is a Joint Powers Agreement for Oak Point Pool and provides a rental rate equal
to the Community Center pool rate.
Background
The original Agreement between the School District and the City made several assumptions regarding
how the School District would charge the City for operating costs. Over the six years of this Agreement,
it has been difficult for the City to anticipate net costs based on this formula and the City has been unable
to accurately budget for operational expenditures. After extended discussion with School District staff, it
has been mutually agreed that the fairest and most efficient method for charging both governmental
entities is to use the same formula at both pools for both governmental bodies. The City would continue
to be responsible for operation of Oak Point pool after school hours,on weekends and during the summer
months.
This proposal was reviewed and approved by the City School Facility Advisory Committee on March 20,
2002.

not have authority to award damages.
3.2.4. Compliance. The parties deem the dispute resolution as set forth herein to
be an integral and essential part of this Joint Powers Agreement. A party's failure to comply in
all respects with this procedure shall be substantial breach of this Agreement. The arbitrator(s)
