Mayor Tyra-Lukens was not in attendance. Councilmember Case served as Acting Mayor.
I. MARY HILL SMITH—METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
Mary Hill Smith is the Met Council's Third District Representative. The Third District
currently includes Eden Prairie. Hill Smith distributed a packet of information, including
the 2030 Regional Development Framework. She explained the Council's Framework is
organized around four main policies:
• Accommodating growth in a flexible, connected and efficient manner
• Slowing the growth of traffic congestion and improving mobility
• Encouraging expanded choices in housing locations and types, including multi-modal
housing
• Working to conserve, protect and enhance the environment
Smith noted that communities have until October 22 to submit comments on the plan to
the Met Council. Final approval of the plan is expected in December. Smith also said
that changes to comp plans will not be required to follow the 2030 framework until after
2008.
Councilmember Butcher asked Smith for an update on the transportation plan, and LRT
and the North Star Corridor in particular. Smith said the governor supports the North
Star Corridor and has managed to obtain enough money ($20 million)to keep it in play;
however,the legislature will have to appropriate more money for the project to move
forward. The overall plan calls for the corridor to run from downtown Minneapolis to
Big Lake, and possibly St. Cloud,
Smith said the southwest corridor LRT is strictly a local issue at this point. She noted
there is a great deal of flexibility built into the Met Council transportation plan, which
calls for"transit ways,"which can consist of a variety of transportation combinations of
busses and/or rapid transit.
Butcher said it appears that the Flying Cloud Airport expansion seems to be hold. She
asked Smith if she has any additional information about the airport. Smith said she
knows nothing more, but that Northwest Airlines would like to see any additional funds
go toward MSP. They have requested that users of regional airport pay more so that
MAC can devote more funds to MSP.
Councilmember Case said that he realizes that Smith is not an elected official, but he said
he would like to stress that a majority of the City Councilmembers are concerned about
expansion of Flying Cloud Airport and would like the personality of this airport to remain
the same, and do not want to see it become a jetport.
Councilmember Young said he was not aware that the Met Council played a role with
airports, and asked Smith to expand on this. Smith said that years ago the MAC entered
into an agreement with Eden Prairie. This agreement was eventually ruled unenforceable
since the Met Council is legal the authority for airports. The Met Council sets guidelines
for runway lengths, etc.
Councilmember Mosinan asked about the status of the proposed"greenbelt"that was part
of the proposed Met Council"Blueprint"a couple of years ago. Smith noted that the
current Met Council rejected the Blueprint, and instead developed the current 2030
Framework. She said current policy is to encourage slow growth in contiguous areas,
except in"rural growth centers." She said this type of growth allows for the most
efficient placement of sewer systems.
Case asked if there will be incentives to encourage communities to increase densities.
Smith said there is not much funding available for incentives; however the Met Council is
working to educate communities about the advantages of densifying in areas with
existing infrastructure. Smith also noted that Baby Boomers are expressing interest in
these denser types of development.
Communications Manager Pat Brink said it is his understanding that by law the LRT trail
that runs to Eden Prairie cannot be considered for use as a busway. Smith said legislation
barring this was passed, but if the law needs to be changed it will be changed. She noted
that Hennepin County owns that land, so it is not a Met Council issue. Case said it makes
sense to run any transit way to the Southwest Station,which would keep it mostly off the
LRT trail.
Case suggested that Senior Planner Scott Kipp review the aviation portion of the Met
Council report before the October 22 deadline for comments.
City Manager Neal asked Smith about her position on geographic expansion of the Met
Council. Smith said she thinks expansion makes sense,but it would be very difficult to
accomplish at this time. She said intra-agency agreements with some surrounding
counties could be helpful with transportation and environmental issues becoming ever
more important.
Council Chamber
II. OPEN FORUM
A. JODY RUSSELL—VOTER REGISTRATION
Ms. Russell said she is an Eden Prairie resident with a deep idealism about
democracy. She said her work with voter registration is about service,not
politics. Russell said she was so impressed with Mary Jo Sponselor, a
Minnetonka woman who has devoted a year of her life to voter registration that
she offered to help bring this initiative to Eden Prairie.
Russell said she encountered her first hitch when she requested to set up a voter
registration booth at the City's International Festival on July 31. Russell's request
was denied because"political activity"is not allowed at these types of events.
Russell reiterated that she does not view voter registration as political and she was
later thrilled to hear that there was a voter registration booth at the event.
Russell asked to come before Council after she and Sponselor began voter
registration activities at other sites in Eden Prairie. Russell said at the first
building they visited a third of the residents registered,but when they moved on
to another senior citizens' building,the manager told them not to come and that
the City agreed with this decision.
Russell said she contacted the City Clerk's office and was told there are concerns
about possible identity theft by individuals claiming to conduct voter registration.
Russell said she did see an article in the newspaper about a phone scam, but still
felt she should have been allowed to conduct voter registration at the building.
Councilmember Butcher asked if there is a procedure for being certified to do
voter registration. Russell said the Secretary of State issues guidelines for
registering voters, but that there is no certification process. Case said what
Russell is doing is laudable,but he pointed out the City does not have the
resources to ensure everyone who says they want to conduct voter registration is
trustworthy.
City Manager Scott Neal said he spoke with the City Clerk about Russell's
concerns. It is his understanding that the owner of the building called the City to
ask if it was legal for outside individuals to conduct voter registration. The owner
was told that it is legal,but she is not required to allow it.
Councilmember Mosman said while it is good for people to register,the City
cannot be held responsible for checking credentials. Case said as a government
entity,the City needs to remain neutral, and it sounds as if we are doing that.
Butcher suggested Russell ask the Secretary of State's office to provide a letter of
support for her to present when asking to enter buildings. Case pointed out that
pre-registration is not required to vote in Minnesota,and many people take
advantage of the right to register at the polls on Election Day
B. JOE BERG—STOP SIGNS AT HAMES &EVENER WAY
Mr. Berg said he has spoken with several staff members to get stop signs installed
on Hames and Evener Way. He is concerned with traffic speeds on these two
roads,which are heavily used as short cuts. He has asked the City to look at
control or the appearance of control for speed on these roads.
Mr. Berg said he has to cross the street to get to his mailbox and traffic often has
to swerve to miss him. He took an informal survey that indicates cars are
typically going between 35 and 45 miles per hour.
Berg said he was told by the Traffic Engineer Randy Newton that stop signs can
result in increased speeds and are"unwarranted"for his neighborhood. Berg said
his request was also"pushed aside"by Public Works Director Gene Dietz. Berg
asked what data the City has collected on traffic speeds on his street. He said the
City appears to be basing their decision on volume and not speed. Mr.Berg said
he works for another City, and in his experience just because someone is a PE it
doesn't mean they are Karnacic. Berg said he was further frustrated when he
asked City Manager Scott Neal for assistance. He said Neal indicated that it does
not matter that the engineers making the decisions don't live in the neighborhood
in question.
Councilmember Case said he knows traffic volumes are heavy before and after
school on these roads near the high school. He suggested Dietz and Newton meet
with the Police Department to further evaluate the issue, and report back to
Council. He asked that Mr.Berg be kept informed.
C. OFF-LEASH DOG AREA PROPONENTS
Dr. Robert Skinner is a vet and runs a veterinary clinic in Eden Prairie. He was a
member of a committee that studied the possibility of an off-leash dog park and
recommended development of 20 acres of MAC property near Flying Cloud
Airport for this purpose. The Parks and Recreation Commission chose not to
accept these recommendations, and instead designated four outdoor hockey rinks
for off season off-leash dog use as well as a 2.5 acre area. He said these areas are
sufficient only for one or two people and dogs to use at a time.
Dr. Skinner said a well-designed off-leash area for dogs and their owners to
legally, safely play would be a great asset to Eden Prairie. In his experience,
well-exercised dogs cause far fewer problems than other dogs. He also pointed
out that the dog park in Bloomington is so heavily used that it was just enlarged
by 30 percent.
Dr. Skinner sited an Oregon report that identifies dogs and their owners as a new
user group of park and recreation facilities. Dr. Skinner asked that the City
provide the same consideration to this group as it does other more established user
groups, such as joggers and bikers.
Councilmember Case suggested carrying this discussion over to the Council
meeting for further discussion. It was agreed to add this item to the Council
Agenda.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

City Manager Scott Neal reported that official notice of this public hearing was
published in the September 23, 2004,Eden Prairie Sun Current and sent to 53
property owners. He said this is for 8 single family lots. The Community Planning
Board voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the project at its September 13,2004
meeting.
Neal said the proposal is to rezone the property from Rural to R1-13.5. The existing
house will remain. The density of the project is 1.57 units per acre.All lots meet
code requirements. Outlot A will be dedicated to the City to accommodate a future
trail. Tree loss is 21%. Tree replacement is 60 caliper inches.
He said severe erosion was identified during the site evaluation by the City and the
Watershed District and will require corrective action by the Developer or as a joint
project between the City,Watershed District and Developer prior to grading of the
property. A Planned Unit Development waiver is required for the storm water pond
to encroach 20 feet within a shore impact zone. This waiver is reasonable in
exchange for land dedicated to the City to protect the creek and wetland areas. The
plans have been revised according to the staff report.
Neal said after review of the project by the Community Planning Board,Hennepin
County submitted its comments regarding a deficiency in sight distance along Pioneer
Trail at Crestwood Terrace, and indicated that a solution for this problem needs to
take place. City staff will be meeting with the County this week to discuss potential
interim solutions for the sight distance deficiency prior to second reading for the
project. The developer is requesting authorization for issuance of an early grading
permit so this work can begin prior to 2nd Reading for the project.
Dietz gave an update on the status of the county road improvement recommendations.
He said there was a meeting Monday with Hennepin County staff and it was agreed
that the burden to improve a 40-year-old intersection of Pioneer Trail should not be
put on an 8-lot subdivision.He said alternatives were discussed and the county is
beginning to think in terms of some kind of cooperative project with the city to look
at improving sight distance.He said now that the county is aware of the short sight
distance,they believe it's important to address it properly.
Dietz said staff discussed with the consultant's engineer a potential solution that
would involve raising the grade of Crestwood Terrace as it intersects Pioneer Trail.
He said that could be as much as two feet and that modification could be made and
work within the proposed grading plans.Dietz said it's possible there would be a
proposed solution that could be implemented next year between the city and
Hennepin County, but it may be that on an interim basis that the county could prohibit
turns from that location and make it right in and right out only.
Case asked if the location is where all the evergreen tree planting is on the corner.
Dietz said it is on the corner and the property owner on the south has a number of
evergreen trees as well.Case asked if there are plans to utilize or move the smaller
trees to save them. Jeremiah said the recommendation is to always to save as many

trees as possible. She said in this case they will lose as many as 21 percent of the trees
on the property and the replacement is 60 caliper inches so there has been a
significant effort to save trees. She said she believes most of them are larger trees so
she is not positive about the potential to move some,but she will pass that
recommendation along and make sure they utilize as many as possible.
Mosman said only above a certain size qualifies for tree loss calculations, and not
having looked at those trees, if they had not been pruned for transplanting, they grow
out and have less of a chance of surviving.Therefore, she explained,transplanting
may not be something the city can ask for.
There were no public comments.
MOTION: Young moved, seconded by Butcher, to close the Public Hearing; and
adopt the Resolution for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.09 acres;
and approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District
Review with waivers, and Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 5.09
acres; and adopt the Resolution for Preliminary Plat on 5.09 acres into 8 lots;and
direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Board
recommendations and Council conditions;and authorize issuance of an early grading
permit for Prairie Pines. Motion carried 4-0.
VIII. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Mosman moved, seconded by Young,to approve the Payment of Claims. The
motion was approved on a roll call vote with Butcher,Case,Mosman and Young voting

A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS
1. Off Leash Dog Areas—Councilmember Mosman
Mosman presented photos of area dog parks and explained the history of a
proposed off leash dog area in the city. She said almost two years ago, a 1600-
signature petition was received from residents requesting a fenced-in
playground for dogs, and a task force studied the issue. She said the study
resulted in hockey rink pens for off-season times,the approval of a 2-plus acre
site in the Golden Triangle, and denial of the task force's first choice—part of
a 42-acre parcel just west of the airport.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 5,2004
Page 5
Mosman said the hockey rinks are being used,but she is told there is not
sufficient room for larger dogs to roam there. She said the 2-acre site has been
waiting for a chain link fence and parking and may open yet this fall. She said
the Cedar Hills park 42-acres of rugged and undeveloped parkland parcel was
given to the task force to analyze and the task force recommended half of this
to use. She said it was turned down because of neighborhood concerns about
smell,safety,barking, etc.
Mosman said the Metropolitan Airports Commission has an unofficial off
leash area near MSP,and there are other off leash parks in Prior Lake and
Bloomington. She said people take their dogs to run illegally in Eden Prairie
parks and on the trails because there is no place to let a dog off its leash.
Mosman said around the state and the country there is a big increase in
development of off leash dog areas. She said in the Minneapolis St.Paul
metro area,42 of 45 cities contacted do allow dogs on leash on all of their
public land and walkways and in 19 years there has been no incident of a dog
biting a child in an off leash dog area in the Hennepin County Three Rivers
Park District dog parks.
She said Eden Prairie has about 2,200 licensed dogs and well over that
number unlicensed.Mosman said on July 4,2004,she asked dog owners if
they'd like to see an off leash dog area in the city and no one said no. She said
she also asked those without a dog who may not like dogs or who may be
allergic to dogs if they'd favor an off leash dog park in the city and
overwhelmingly no one said no.
Mosman said dogs are social animals and need contact with other dogs and
with people and there are psychological and physical problems dogs develop
when they are kept in confinement.She said most common complaints
received by Eden Prairie animal control officers are about loose animals in the
parks and people not picking up after their animals. She said Three Rivers
Park District is possibly going to open a 10-acre park area in Bryant Lake
Park.Mosman said overuse is a concern and the intent of the Three Rivers
District is to supplement,not supply,a city's off leash needs.
She said the city has 2,500 acres of open public land and it is likely there are
areas where off leash areas could be provided. She said neighborhood parks
are planned within one mile of every home in the city and other communities
should not have to take care of Eden Prairie's dog needs. She said annual
maintenance of Bloomington's dog area is about$700.
Mosman said facts need to come out about how the park areas function to
calm fears. She said she visited three different dog areas and they were all
consistent in that they were not objectionable,not littered,no angry dogs,not
a lot of noise and no smell. She showed photos of the 25-acre park in
Bloomington.

Case asked Lambert if there is no MAC land outside of zone B, outside of
zone A,that would be 5 or 10 acres large enough for something like this.
Lambert said staff has addressed that with MAC and to date they indicate it's
not acceptable for that use.
Mosman said criteria of what would be needed is more than one area in the
city to avoid overuse; fencing and a gate;trash and out house service;periodic
mowing;wood chipping in an entrance area; a buffer between off leash areas
and yards; sufficient size to provide actual running and overcrowding with
several acres desired;water, pond, creek and/or spigot; shade and seating. She
said she hopes that council would agree to ask that this be looked at again
because there is a significant amount of interest in it.
Case asked Neal if it would be possible for staff to provide an update on how
the current dog park system is working and the concept for additional access
for dogs.Neal said yes and staff will take another look at the analysis and
prepare a report for the council.
2. Synopsis on National League of Cities Leadership Summit—
Councilmember Butcher
Butcher provided an overview on a leadership summit she attended as part of
the National League of Cities Leadership Institute. She said the conference
was called Finding our Voices,Discovering the Foundations of Democracy.
She said the program was designed to explore the foundations of democracy
and understand the leadership role and responsibilities as a local official
within democracy. She said it was focused on strengthening democracy within
communities and there were many well-known speakers at the summit. She
said they focused on the three primary components of democracy—creation,
preservation and expansion—and how each of our cities are at various stages
of democracy.Butcher said if you look at the different initiatives in the City
of Eden Prairie, she believes the city is at various places in the three stages.
She said it was a great conference and she is pleased to have attended.

Radosevich &Co.,P.A. for auditing services for 2004 to 2006.
Synopsis
As a standard business practice, the City changes auditing firms and completes a request for
proposal process for auditing services at least every five years. This year, Malloy, Montague,
Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., P.A. (MMKR) submitted the lowest qualified bid totaling
$100,165 for the City and$15,410 for the Fire Relief Association for a total price of$115,575.
Background Information
Staffs recommendation to choose MMKR is based on:
1. Experience- Overall,MMKR audits about 15 municipalities, 6 relief associations, 27 school
districts, and numerous other governmental and related entities. MMKR proposes to have
four staff members on the City audit. Thirty five percent of the total hours spent on the audit
will be conducted by upper management whereas the other proposals were around thirty
percent. Two of the staff members on the audits are members of the Special Review
Committee. These staff members are knowledgeable of any changes affecting the CAFR and
will present ideas on how other cities handle different situations or implementations.
2. Price-For the three years of the audit contract,MMKR had the lowest bid of$115,575. The
bids ranged from$115,575 to 151,200.
3. Quality —MMKR's references (Golden Valley, New Hope, Plymouth and Savage) have all
indicated a high degree of satisfaction with the quality of work and follow-up. They have
stated that MMKR is very knowledgeable in new pronouncements and in helping the cities
implement these changes. Also, staff has been available throughout the year to answer any
questions the City's may have and are prompt in responding to their concerns. Furthermore,
staff has been very accommodating in meeting the City's timeline in conducting the audit.

Robert A. Lambert, Director Planning for Phases of Trails Systems
Parks and Recreation within the Edenbrook,Riley Creek and
Purgatory Creek Conservation Areas
Requested Action
Move to: Authorize staff to hire a planning consultant to assist City staff in developing plans
and cost estimates for developing trails within the Riley Creek Conservation Area
from County Road 1 south and east to Miller Spring; and from Homeward Hills Road
south to Riverview Road within the Purgatory Creek Valley; and within the
Edenbrook Conservation Area.
Synopsis
The City has had plans for constructing trails within these conservation areas in the City's Park and
Open Space System Plan for over twenty years. City staff need to have detailed information on the
trails in these locations including the type of trail, location of the trail, location of bridges and
estimated costs, to include costs estimates within the five year CIP.
Staff would anticipate constructing phases of these trails each year over the next five to ten years.
At its October 4,2004 meeting the Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission approved
this recommendation.
Background
The planning for these trail systems will require information on topography, flood plain elevations,
water shed district requirements for creek crossings, and recommendations on the best type of trail to
construct within various parts of each of these conservation areas. For example some steep slopes
may require a hard surface trail with retaining walls, etc.,while other crossings of flood plain areas
may require floating boardwalks.
City staff believes that we will not be able to make good decisions or even good cost estimates on
any portion of these trail systems without having information on the entire trail systems. Residents
are already asking questions regarding the location of these trails and whether they would be
pedestrian trails or bicycle trails, etc. Staff would anticipate the consultant would work with the
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission addressing many of these questions
throughout the planning process. Staff would recommend initiating this planning process this fall
and completing the plans by spring of 2005 so estimates for various projects can be included in the
CIP when it is updated during the next budget cycle.

Requested Action
Move to: Adopt Resolution approving City comments regarding the 2030 Transportation Policy
Plan
Synopsis
On behalf of its member cities, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM)prepared
comments regarding the proposed 2030 Transportation Policy Plan(TPP). The AMM is
requesting that cities adopt a Resolution supporting the comments that have been prepared. In
addition, it has come to staff attention that TH62 and TH169 have a new designation in the TPP,
which could potentially limit the eligibility of these corridors for expansion funding if it becomes
available. The Resolution requests that Metropolitan Council move these two corridors into the
"Expansion" category rather than in the"Management"category or identify these two corridors
as high-priority candidates for expansion if funding becomes available.
Background Information
The agenda also contains a Resolution regarding the TPP as it relates to airports. This
Resolution deals with highway issues only. The information regarding the funding category that
TH62 and TH169 are in was brought to staff attention late last week. Staff recommends that
both the general comments from the AMM as well as the specific comment regarding these
corridors be addressed through the Resolution and that it be forwarded to Metropolitan Council
during the comment period that is open until October 22,2004.

Resolution "2030 Transportation Policy Plan"
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
HENNEPIN COUNTY,MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO.
2030 Transportation Policy Plan
Whereas, forecasts call for almost one million additional residents in the seven-county
metropolitan area by the year 2030;
Whereas, an effective and efficient transportation system,that includes both roads and transit,is
key to the successful growth and development of our region;
Whereas, congestion and mobility issues are already among the most pressing challenges facing
our region; and
Whereas, a comprehensive and well-rounded plan for our regional transportation system requires
the input of numerous stakeholders,including local governments.
Now therefore be it resolved,that the City Council of City of Eden Prairie provides the following
specific comments on the 2030 Draft Transportation Policy Plan:
1. The City of Eden Prairie supports the attached comments prepared by the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities in regards to the draft 2030 Transportation Policy Plan and
urges the Metropolitan Council to make the requested changes to the draft plan before
granting it final approval.
2. The City of Eden Prairie is concerned about the implications of the change in designation
of TH62 (outside the I35W Commons Project) and TH169 within the"I494/1694
Beltway". Changing the status from an Improvement Corridor and moving these
roadways into Management Corridor status at first glance moves them up in priority.
However,this may preclude the two highways from being funded for their real need—
expansion. With the possibility of an additional 30%funding for the expansion category,
less vital projects may well receive expansion funding ahead of these two critical
corridors. The City of Eden Prairie requests that Metropolitan Council move these
segments of TH62 and TH169 into the Expansion Category to insure their proper
placement in funding the needed expansion improvements or identify that these two
management corridors will be high priority candidates for expansion in the Constrained
Plus 30%Scenario.

RE: 2030 Transportation Policy Plan
Thank you for the opportunity to provide our comments on the public hearing draft of the 2030
Transportation Policy Plan(TPP). The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities is composed of
70 cities from around the seven-county metropolitan area,who share your assessment that
transportation is one of the most important challenges facing our region today.
After closely following your work developing the draft TPP and discussing it with our Board of
Directors and member cities, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities offers the following
comments for your consideration.
2030 Transportation Policy Plan
Overall,the draft plan does a good a job of outlining the situation facing this region—a rapidly
growing and increasingly mobile metropolitan area that is expected to add another million
residents by the year 2030. The plan is equally clear and direct in recognizing that current funding
sources and levels are inadequate to meet the needs of this region. Without additional funding,
congestion will worsen,travel times will continue to increase and both our mobility and economic
prosperity will suffer. Finally,we are encouraged by the emphasis this plan puts on transit.
AMM's members are strong supporters of a multi-modal transportation system that combines
highway investments with the regular route bus service and dedicated transitways required in a
metropolitan region of our size.
Given these areas of agreement,we would,however, like to urge the Council to make several
changes to the draft plan before giving it final approval.
1) Transportation and Land Use Planning
As an organization of cities,AMM and its members view this plan from a slightly different
perspective than other stakeholders. To cities,this is not just another needs analysis or study of our
transportation system. It is a statutorily mandated and enforceable component of our planning
process. Viewed from this perspective,we have several concerns about what the plan expects of
local governments and their comprehensive plans.
Policy 18 states that in order for a local comprehensive plan to be in conformance with the regional
transportation system, cities must plan for the forecasts allocated to them and that they must do so
in a manner that does not add traffic to any already congested roads. Furthermore,it states that
extensions or capacity expansions to the regional sewer system will be predicated on the state or
local unit of government demonstrating that"adequate transportation improvements will be
provided when needed to avoid significant negative impact"on the highway system. This is
unrealistic and unachievable in most parts of the region—especially given the congested state we
are already in and the lack of funding to address existing problems or future needs. For the vast
majority of metropolitan cities it simply will not be possible to accommodate any additional
households without adding to already congested roads. There is no reasonable way to enforce this
policy without shutting down development in many parts of the region.
Given the official role this document plays in our local-regional planning process,it is important
that all policies contained in the transportation policy plan are realistic and equally enforceable
across the region. This is not the case with the currently drafted policy#18.
Secondly,the draft plan talks a lot about encouraging cities to develop higher density and mixed-
use centers that are transit-oriented and pedestrian friendly. This brings with it an obligation on the
Council's part to commit to providing transit service to that area for the long-term. Unfortunately,
this is an obligation the Council does not appear to have the resources to meet—especially in the
case of developing cities. Cities cannot be expected to develop areas geared to transit,with higher
densities and fewer parking spaces,only to have that transit service significantly reduced or
eliminated during the next round of budget cuts.
Additionally,the draft plan uses too many ambiguous terms when referring to cities and their
comprehensive plans. In some cases, its says cities"must,"while in others it says cities are
"expected to"or that they"should"do certain things. The plan needs to clearly identify what cities
must have in their comprehensive plans in order for those plans to be found in compliance with the
system plan,versus what the Council would like to see in those plans as a matter of preference.
Finally, the draft plan talks extensively about"managing"traffic and"managing"congestion,but
there is very little discussion or mention of"accommodating"traffic or people. This region is so
far behind on its transportation infrastructure that the 30-year plan is almost entirely about meeting
existing needs. There is very little in this plan to serve future growth. For example,the plan does
not identify a single new principle arterial,despite the fact that numerous cities have approached
the Council about roads that are already functioning as principle arterials,but lack the appropriate
designation,planning or design. Furthermore, despite the Framework's projections of significant
population increases for the developing cities in Dakota,Anoka and Scott Counties,the
transportation policy plan fails to include any projects to serve that growth.
2)Transportation Funding
The plan lacks a clear and specific proposal for funding the needs identified. Experience has
shown that this region cannot afford to sit back and wait for additional funding to materialize out of
the legislative process. The Metropolitan Council has an obligation to put politics aside and the
needs of the metropolitan area first. We invite you to join with local governments and other
stakeholders to actively propose and work for additional funding.
AMM and its members have long supported a variety of means of raising the funding necessary to
build and maintain the transportation and transit system this region needs. Whether it be an
increase in traditional funding sources such as the gas tax or license tab fees,or the introduction of
new sources such as a metro-area sales tax or county-imposed wheelage tax,AMM and its member
cities are ready and willing to work with the Council to develop and pass a multi-modal
transportation funding package that can realistically address the needs of this region.
Without the voice of our regional planning authority,it will be very difficult to overcome the
partisan disagreements and special-interest battles that have left us without a permanent funding
increase for 16 years. Given the Council's responsibility to plan the regional transportation
system,it is most definitely your role to step into the heart of the issue and contribute to a solution
on the funding issues.
At a very minimum the plan should provide more specifics about what additional funding would
mean on the ground. In order to make the case for additional funding,legislators and citizens need
specific information about how additional money would be spent. The transportation policy plan
should paint a clear and specific picture of the transportation system residents can expect in
exchange for supporting higher funding levels.
Summary
In summary,while the draft plan makes many good points and includes important planned
investments,it does not go far enough in proposing a realistic funding plan,identifying the
investments necessary to support an additional million residents or providing a realistic foundation
for local comprehensive planning.
Thank you for the opportunity to share our concerns with you. If you have any questions or would
like to discuss any of our comments in more detail,please feel free to contact Kris Wilson,interim

Dear City Council,
We've been given a notice of the proposed special assessment hearing on October 19,
2004. You proposed I..0 98-5474 Crestwood Terrace trunk and lateral exclusions fees to
be charged against our parcel.Our objections to the proposed assessment are as follows:
We can't meet the costs of the proposed assessment,because we've just been charged a
special assessment in 2003 for city water and sewer. We can hardly put up with the
payments. Our family of five has only one income since the arrival of the new baby. We
can't afford to pay any more additional special assessment fees.
The proposal gives"no consideration for the impact of the project on citizens,
because we believe our property value will not increase accordingly.. Given the excessive
estimated amount for the proposed project(ems., $9,832 plus$520.00 per parcel),
combined with the fact that our property market value is les than$220,000 the amount of
the proposed assessment is unreasonably disproportionate to the increase in value which
our property would acquire if lateral and trunk exclusion would be done.
We don't want the project in our area This is a burden we don't wish to take on.
Sincerely,
Vlada Yanchuk,

- Representative of Sears (To be Determined)
Move to: Direct staff to prepare a scope/contract with SRF Consulting,Inc. for a land use,
transportation and wayfinding study of the Major Center Area.
Synopsis
Staff is recommending appointment of a 13-member Task Force representing business and
property owners/managers, residents of the Major Center Area(MCA), and at-large
representatives from the Community Planning Board to provide feedback on the MCA Study.
SRF Consulting, Inc. in partnership with Ingraham&Associates is recommended to work with
the MCA Task Force and a Technical Advisory Committee of City and agency staff on a Land
Use, Transportation and Wayfinding Study of the Major Center Area.
Background Information
The Major Center Area is about a 1200 acre area within and surrounding the Prairie Center Drive
and Valley View ring road system. The area is expected to continue to attract new development
opportunities. Challenges include providing an efficient transportation system and ensuring
people can readily find their way to and around the area. Opportunities include providing
additional desired services, improved pedestrian/bicycle linkages, and additional aesthetic
improvements to the area.
Task Force:
Stakeholder participation in the Major Center Area(MCA) Study process is essential to its
success.The primary role of the task force will be to:
• Review and endorse the scope of the study
• Provide ongoing feedback to staff and the consultant as the study progresses
All of the proposed representatives(see attached list)have agreed to serve on the task force,
with the exception of a representative from Sears, as of the time this report was prepared. A
Meet&Greet with Sears is taking place prior to the Council meeting. Staff will encourage
Sears' participation, since they own a substantial parcel attached to EP Center. Staff will
provide an update during the October 19th Council meeting.
The key consideration in forming the task force was to have broad representation from
throughout the study area, including property owners,business owners,retailers,and residents
from within the study area as well as from the community at-large.Many of the participants
were informed of the study over the last year through the City's"Meet&Greet"program and
expressed a desire to participate at that time. Others were identified through property managers,
or had participated in past public hearings on development projects within the MCA. Several of
the proposed task force members own a businesses or property in the area and also are residents
of Eden Prairie. Staff suggested a Community Planning Board liaison to act as an additional at-
large resident representative. Both the Chair and another Planning Board member are very
interested,and both have been included.
Consultant Team:
A Request for Qualifications(RFQ)to aid with the study was sent to approximately 40
consultant firms. 20 of those firms expressed interest by attending an informational meeting.
Many of those firms were involved with forming teams to provide expert assistance with various
aspects of the study. Six submittals were received in response to the RFQ, including four
consultant teams, an individual consultant,and a separate wayfinding/signage firm. Staff from
the Community Development and Public Works Departments interviewed all four of the
consultant teams(see attached comparison). Staff is recommending SRF in conjunction with
Ingraham&Associates and a separate wayfinding system design specialist.The team already has
some experience with transportation issues in the area and provides strong project management,
facilitation, land use and wayfinding skills. Their anticipated costs are within the average range
of the submittals received. If the Council concurs,staff will work with SRF and the Task Force
to finalize a scope for the study,which will be used as the basis for the contract. The contract
will be brought back to the Council at a later date for formal approval.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
Major Center Area
Land Use, Transportation & Wayfinding Study
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, MN
September, 2004
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is issued by the City of Eden Prairie to solicit consultant
teams to work with the City to develop a comprehensive land use and transportation plan for the
Major Center Area focused on:
Citizen & Professional Participation:
• Work with City staff and a task force of stakeholders appointed by the City to finalize the
project scope and process.
• Involve the task force and technical experts throughout the study process.
• Update the Community Planning Board and City Council and obtain policy feedback at
critical points in the study.
• Keep the general public informed throughout the study via Website updates, newspaper
articles, and other opportunities.
Transportation &Wayfinding:
• Update the Citywide Transportation Forecasts (updated TAZ data will be provided by the
City). The updated model can be used to evaluate transportation and land use alternatives
for the Major Center Area.
• Improve operation of the transportation system by managing access, reducing congestion
and improving travel times to, from and through the Major Center Area. (current traffic
counts at intersections within the Major Center Area will be supplied by the City).
• Improve operation of Eden Prairie Center's internal ring road and it's interaction with the
public roadway system.
• Improve driver comprehension and access to and from the Eden Prairie Center via a
wayfinding system and potential additional street connections.
• Improve and expand pedestrian/trail links between existing and planned development
throughout the Major Center Area including the Marketcenter Area, Eden Prairie Center
area, Purgatory Creek Recreation Area, and SW Metro Transit Station.
• Increase transit use and alternative modes of transportation.
• Review current alternatives for LRT and keep abreast of Hennepin County's Southwest
LRT Alternative Analysis study to determine feasibility and effects of potential future LRT
service to this area.
• Develop a long range transportation Capital Improvements list for the area.
Land Use & Redevelopment:
• Identify potential redevelopment areas that will help maintain and improve the economic
vitality of the Major Center Area.
• Identify land uses and commercial/retail stores for future redevelopment that are
economically feasible and desired by the community.
• Review and update Eden Prairie Marketcenter Design Framework and identify potential
streetscape or other enhancements that would help to unify and further develop the
"character" of the Major Center Area.
• Develop an implementation plan for phasing redevelopment and other improvements to the
area.
The study should result in a plan for the Major Center Area that the City can use in the planning
of infrastructure improvements and as a guide for the continued development and
redevelopment of the area from the present through a 2030 planning horizon.
STUDY AREA LOCATION & DESCRIPTION
The study area is located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota near the junction of Interstate 494 and
Highway 212. It includes the area adjacent to and within the ring road system of Valley View
Road and Prairie Center Drive as well as the transportation corridors providing access to the
area (See attached map).
The area is the commercial hub of Eden Prairie interspersed with various levels of office and
residential development. The predominant feature in the area is the 1,000,000+ square foot
Eden Prairie Center.
BACKGROUND
Eden Prairie is a rapidly growing suburban community located 15 miles southwest of
Minneapolis in the County of Hennepin, Minnesota's largest county. With a current population
of approximately 62,000, it had the largest population growth in Hennepin County between 1990
and 2000. It is also home to about 50,000 jobs. This growth has led to a rise in traffic congestion
throughout the City, especially in the study area.
A primary purpose of the study is to develop a transportation plan for the area to help the City
identify and plan improvements. Land use will play an important role in the improvement of the
transportation system, since future redevelopment could increase both the need and
opportunities for changes to the transportation system. Transportation improvements could also
provide the catalyst for some redevelopment.
As the commercial center of Eden Prairie, developing a viable, sustainable and long-term plan
for the area is vital to the success of the community. The aesthetics of the area are also an
important factor in the overall image of Eden Prairie. Involving the residential and business
community throughout the process will ensure that all issues are addressed and implementation
is feasible.
RFQ INFORMATIONAL MEETING
An informational meeting to further explain the Request for Qualifications and answer questions
will be held:
2:30 pm,Monday,September 20,2004
City of Eden Prairie Council Chambers
8080 Mitchell Road,Eden Prairie,MN 55344
If possible, please refrain from calling staff with questions until after the informational meeting.
COORDINATION
The consultants will be responsible for creating their own project teams so that all objectives of
the study are addressed in their response to the RFQ. The City of Eden Prairie will establish
the task force, make key staff available for the technical advisory committee, and manage the
consultant contract. The Director of Community Development or her appointee will act as
Project Manager for the City. The consultant will be expected to work in coordination with City
of Eden Prairie staff, the task force and advisory committee. The consultant will be expected to
identify a Project Manager who will act as the principal liaison between the consultant team and
the City.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Reports of Officers October 19,2004
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.:
Robert A. Lambert, Director Picha Property Option Agreement } .
Parks and Recreation
Recommendation
City staff does not recommend extending the option on the Picha property or entering into a
purchase agreement for the property. If Council agrees with these recommendations,no action is
required at this time.
Synopsis
One year ago the City entered into an option agreement on the Picha property, a 4.04 acre parcel
jointly owned by two Picha families. The option on the property was for $800,000 for one year.
The option expires on October 19, 2004. The Picha families are willing to extend the option for
one year at a cost of$10,000 for the option and an increase in price to $850,000. That option
would expire on October 19, 2005.
The Picha families are also willing to sell the property for $800,000 if the City is willing to enter
into a Contract for Deed before the end of the year. This Contract for Deed would require
payment of 6% on the balance during the term of the contract, and the length of the contract
cannot exceed five years.
Background
The City was willing to enter into an option agreement to hold this property with the goal of
funding half of the property with a LAWCON Grant, one-fourth of the cost from a successful
park referendum, and one-fourth of the cost from funds raised by interested citizens.
The LAWCON Grant was unsuccessful. The referendum was unsuccessful and citizens have not
raised any money to date.
Although the acquisition of that parcel of property would have been a nice addition to the Park
and Open Space System and especially important to the integrity of the Birch Island Woods
Conservation Area, it is not the highest priority parcel for acquisition, and those funds are not
included in the capital improvement plan.
