L PARK REFERENDUM PROJECT PLANNING
Park and Recreation Director Bob Lambert provided an update on parks and recreation
projects.
Community Center Addition
The concept plan for the Community Center Addition will be presented to the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission on June 5 and to the City Council on June
6. Several additions have been made to the plan as it was approved on the November
2005 referendum. The new concept plan proposes:
• Recreation Division Manager and four program staff will be based at the Community
Center rather than at City Center
• A drop-off play center funded with Park Dedication fees
• Addition of a large community meeting room
Lambert said these additions could add up to a million dollars in costs.
Acquisition of Park Land and Trail Construction
Shortly after the referendum, Council authorized staff to purchase a Birch Island Woods
parcel from the Picha family for$830,000. The purchase has not taken place because the
City is navigating the LAWCON property swap process. The City has been directed to
work out issues with the State Historical Society before the swap will be approved.

Lambert reviewed the list of parks that will be improved with referendum funds.
Expansion of Flying Cloud Ball Fields is on hold awaiting FAA approval of the
agreement between MAC and the City of Eden Prairie.
Plans for the extension of the County Road 4 trail are being developed. Parks and
Planning staff are also developing plans for improvements to the sidewalk/trail system in
the downtown area.
Park Improvement Fund
Lambert reviewed the Park Fund balance,which is at about $6.1 million, and CIP project
commitments,which will consume most of the balance. Lambert also reviewed parks
revenue projections.
Lambert reviewed additional park improvement projects listed in the draft CIP, and said
Council will have to make funding decisions on these projects over the next year.

VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. BANEBERRY HOLLOW by Lakewest Development.Request for:
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Medium
Density Residential on 2.06 acres,Planned Unit Development Concept Review on
2.51 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers and Zoning
District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 2.06 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 2.51
acres into 12 lots and right-of-way. Location: 10015 and 10065 Pioneer Trail.
(Resolution No.2006-66 for Guide Plan Change; Resolution No.2006-67 for
PUD Concept Review, Ordinance for PUD District Review with waivers and
Zoning District Change,Resolution No.2006-68 for Preliminary Plat)
Neal said this is a 10-unit twin home development. The change in land use is
reasonable since it provides for an appropriate density to the abutting higher
density development to the west and lower density development to the southeast.
The current access to Pioneer Trail will be eliminated,which improves safety.
However,to address neighborhood concerns,the developer is working with
Hennepin County to obtain a temporary construction access from Pioneer Trail to
complete the majority of the development. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to
recommend approval of the project to the City Council at the April 24,2006
meeting.
The proponent noted these would be luxury units selling for about$450,000 per
side. Rainwater gardens are part of the plan. Hennepin County is likely to grant a
6-9 month construction access permit from Pioneer Trail, which will allow streets

and utilities to be constructed, but the County is unlikely to permit a renewal.
Staff said that timeline would adequately address the Planning Commission's
concerns.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Aho,to close the Public Hearing; adopt
Resolution No.2006-66 for Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential on 2.06 acres; adopt Resolution No. 2006-67 for
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.51 acres; approve 1 st Reading
of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers,
and Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 2.06 acres; adopt
Resolution No. 2006-68 for Preliminary Plat on 2.51 acres into twelve lots and
right-of-way; and direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating
Staff and Commission recommendations and Council conditions. Motion
carried 4-0.
B. GANDER MOUNTAIN by Oppidan Investment Company.Request for:
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Industrial to Regional Commercial on
4.69 acres,Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 4.69 acres,Planned
Unit Development District Review and Zoning District Change from I-2 to
Regional Commercial Service on 4.69 acres, Site Plan Review on 4.69 acres,
Preliminary Plat of 4.69 acres into one lot and right-of-way.Location: 12150
Technology Drive. (Resolution No.2006-69 for Guide Plan Change;
Resolution No.2006-70 for PUD Concept Review,Ordinance for PUD
District Review and Zoning District Change,Resolution No.2006-71 for
Preliminary Plat)
Neal said the proposed 65,698 square foot Gander Mountain retail store would be
sited across the street from Costco on Technology Drive. The Planning
Commission voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the project with conditions to
the City Council at its April 24, 2006 meeting.
Jeremiah said although the MCA plan envisioned this area as office,the presence
of overhead power lines and an electrical substation made the lot unattractive to
the office market. Retail is an acceptable substitute, and the developer will
upgrade Technology Drive to mitigate increased traffic. The project features
underground parking and an attractive design,which creates a nice focal point.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Young,to close the Public Hearing; adopt
Resolution No.2006-69 for Guide Plan Change from Industrial to Regional
Commercial on 4.69 acres;adopt Resolution No. 2006-70 for Planned Unit
Development Concept Review on 4.69 acres; approve 1 st Reading of the

1. 2005 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFR)
William Lauer,Principal in the independent auditing firm of Malloy,
Montague,Karnowski,Radosevich,&Co.,P.A.reviewed the firm's
report of the City's financial condition and control procedures,
required by state law. The City received an unqualified opinion with
no adverse findings or noncompliance,the best possible result.
Lauer analyzed modest changes in revenue and expenses versus last
year for each of the City's funds,as detailed in the report. Factors
impacting Eden Prairie's revenues and expenditures in 2005 included
reduced special assessment revenues caused by slowing
development;a lower portion of state aid than many cities receive;an
insurance/risk management adjustment in 2004 that is still impacting
the budget;new capital outlays for the fire station, fire engines,and
roads;rising interest rates;and a fire/police pension pass-through.
The City may wish to break out community development costs,
facilities,and technical and insurance costs from its general fund, as
is done by many cities.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Young,to accept the 2005
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFR). Motion carried 4-0.
C. REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
1. Professional Services Agreement for Guide Plan Update
Jeremiah noted the update is required by the Met Council to be complete
by 2008. SRF Consulting has worked with staff to finalize a scope of work
and fees for the 2008 Guide Plan Update. Work and cost for 2006 is
$92,243. Work and cost for 2007 is $83,009. The 2006-07 budgets
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
May 16,2006
Page 6
allocated$100,000 for the update of the comprehensive plan for each year,
allowing some extra money in case a more extensive public process/
neighborhood groups is required. Work will start immediately and
continue through September 2007, followed by the formal approval
process.
A consultant is appropriate because the project's scope would otherwise
require hiring temps or decreasing services. Of the responses to the RFP,
SRF had the best public process. SRF also has extensive familiarity with
the MCA plan and the City's history,which has helped contain costs. The
previous guide plan update in 1998 cost$238,000.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Aho,to authorize the Mayor
and City Manager to execute an agreement for professional services with
SRF Consulting, Inc. for the 2008 Guide Plan Update for a total cost not to
exceed $175,252. Motion carried 4-0.
D. REPORT OF PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
E. REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
1. Singletree Lane & West 78th Street Preliminary Design,I.C. 06-5676
Dietz characterized the intersection of Singletree Lane,Flying Cloud
Drive, and the mall entrance as the worst in the city. With the potential
for redevelopment and additional traffic,the intersection needs to be
addressed. The proposed agreement would investigate what could be done
to improve safety and traffic flow,what it would cost, and exactly where
the road would go. Redevelopment of the southwest quadrant of the
intersection is already being brought forward, so the study is timely and
needed.
The estimated budget for the Preliminary Design Services is$92,922.
This includes surveying,preliminary roadway design, preliminary
landscape design, and cost estimating. In addition,the Professional
Services Agreement identifies an hourly rate for SRF to attend meetings
with area businesses at the direction of the City. Due to the uncertain
nature of this task, no budget has been specifically defined for this task.
At this time, city staff is roughly estimating a cost of$15,000 for
meetings. This adds to the cost but is needed to get a solution that meets
everyone's needs. The project will not go forward without agreement and
buy-in. All costs associated with the preliminary design will be paid using
TIF monies received for MCA transportation improvements.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
May 16,2006
Page 7
Councilmembers noted some property owners(including the largest
property owner, General Growth) oppose the intersection project,which is
intended to benefit them. Despite the public process of the MCA study,
some businesses were taken by surprise. For example, owners may have
been notified,but not their tenants. Anxiety about the project is high.
Staff contended the preliminary design is needed to provide something
specific for property owners to react to, and to show the benefits and
impacts.Public input throughout the MCA Study highlighted traffic flow
as a primary concern for both businesses and the public. In addition,
timing matters because the owners of the SW quadrant have already put
their sale on hold for eighteen months while the MCA study was being
done. A private developer has assembled a group of properties in the
quadrant and is ready to accommodate the right of way for the
intersection, but the preliminary design has yet to be done. Council should
also consider its commitment to the MCA study and the time and money
spent on it.
After discussion, Councilmembers agreed the City should meet with
property owners once again and understand their concerns better before
going forward with the design.
MOTION: Young moved, seconded by Aho,to continue the item
regarding a Professional Services Agreement with SRF Consulting Group
for Singletree Lane and West 78th Street Preliminary Design to the June 6,

Background
The park entry signage program has been in progress for approximately two years, and started out
with a design contest between several local sign companies to propose signs that would incorporate

Council received recommendations from the Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission,
the Arts and Culture Commission and the Historical Preservation Commission that the new sign

design should be the one submitted by Sign Source, Inc. Staff worked with Sign Source, Inc.to
refine the lettering and layout of all of the signs to come up with a standard criteria, so that plans and
specifications could be prepared for signs for City park facilities. In addition,modifications were
made for specialty sites, such as the signs at the entry of conservation areas, signs at selected
historical sites, such as the Riley-Jacques Farm, secondary access points at various facilities, such as
Flying Cloud Fields and other neighborhood parks that have two entries.An internally lit sign was
designed for the Eden Prairie Community Center.All of the signs will be two sided and will be

signs will have reflective lettering that will be visible at night, as well as including the address for
the various park facilities.

Leslie Stovring Proposal for Monitoring the Bogs at the
Public Works/Environmental
Bearpath Development Site
Requested Action
Move to: Approve proposal from Emmons & Olivier Resources for the bog-monitoring
program at the Bearpath Golf and Country Club at an estimated cost of$16,761.
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie took responsibility for coordinating the sampling program for the three
bogs at Bearpath Golf& Country Club in 1996, in accordance with the COE wetland permit
guidelines. The monitoring program for 2006 and 2007 will include vegetation monitoring and
water quality sampling each year for only one of the bogs within Bearpath. Conditions at the
remaining two bogs has stabilized and do not require further monitoring.
Background
The bog monitoring activities at Bearpath began in 1992. A long-term sampling and monitoring
plan for the bogs was developed as a special condition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) permit issued in September 1993. The monitoring program was developed to assess
potential changes in the bog ecosystems both during and after construction of the golf and
country club and Highway 212. The program includes assessment of the water quality and
vegetation to monitor changes at the most sensitive areas of the bogs.
The COE has stated that the vegetation and water quality monitoring need to be continued within
the larger bog due to the construction of Highway 212, encroachment of invasive species,
fluctuations in water quality, and previous buffer strip enforcement issues. The work being done
by the City will supplement the water quality monitoring being conducted by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT) which.is being overseen by the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff
Creek Watershed District. The City will meet with the COE after 2007 to re-evaluate the
program and to determine a new monitoring program.
Proposal Summary
Ten companies were solicited for proposals. Four submitted proposals. They included STS
Consultants, Ltd. ($22,500) Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates ($23,324), Short Elliot
Hendrickson ($29,962) and Emmons & Olivier Resources ($17,109). FOR agreed to revise the
scope of work and a final bid of $16,761 was provided. The project will be paid out of the
Stormwater Utility.

Dear Ms. Stovring,
I am pleased to present our proposal for the City of Eden Prairie's Bearpath Bog Monitoring
Survey. Our approach to this project is to provide the city and other stakeholders with not only
field monitoring data, but also an analysis of groundwater flow in the vicinity of the wetland,
which may influence both the water quality and vegetation structure of Bog Y. We have also
elaborated on the vegetation survey,and have proposed a more in-depth vegetation structural
analysis, meander survey results,and invasive species map.
FOR completed a study of wetland impacts that will be caused by the construction of T.H. 212,
including impacts to Bog Y. This experience provided us with great local knowledge and insight
into wetland issues in Eden Prairie, The city should be aware that we no longer work for
1 /DOT and we do not have plans to work for them in the future.
We have also been conducting research on the effect of urbanization on bogs in other areas of the
Twin Cities. We believe we have identified the critical factors that control the functions and
values of bogs and how those night change in an urbanizing landscape. We would,appreciate
the opportunity to take data from the Bearpath bogs and include them in our ongoing study.
Please feel free to contact me(651-203-60,19)if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
i.

Project Approach
This project consists of water quality monitoring, vegetation sampling, and the preparation of a
summary report and a final report. A project summary will be included with every invoice to the
City of Eden Prairie. This update will include the amount billed to date, tasks that remain to be
completed and their costs, and the projected dates for completion of the tasks.
Included here are several items that were not specifically requested in the request for proposals:
1) Structure analysis: As part of the vegetation analysis, we propose to map the the moat,
lagg zone, and interior mat to provide a structural model of the proportion of the three
characteristic zones of a raised bog. The condition and size of the peat mat are central in
determining whether in the long-term the wetland is a bog or whether it transitions to rich
fen,wet meadow, or some other wetland. This structure analysis are part of Task 2a.
2) Time-species plots: As part of the meander survey,the number of species found relative
to the passage of time will be recorded to produce time-species plots. These plots will
provide information on what percentage of species, out of the total number of species
present,were found in the survey. It will also provide estimates of the length of time that
a meander survey would need to be in order to encounter a certain percentage of the
species present. The time-series plots are part of Task 2b.
3) Invasive species map: A general map of invasive species locations was requested in the
request for proposals. We have elaborated on that task and offer a more detailed invasive
species map, aimed specifically at purple loosestrife and glossy buckthorn, both of which
were mapped in the most recent monitoring effort. This more in-depth mapping will
allow comparison of sites and an assessment of an increase or decrease in size and
number of sites. The invasive species map is part of Task 2b.
4) Groundwater monitoring: Presented as an optional task, we propose to measure the
groundwater elevations in existing piezometers. This will provide information with
which to identify changes in groundwater flow and wetland hydrology over time.
Changes in groundwater flow, due to road construction in the vicinity of the wetland,
may affect the hydrology, water chemistry, and vegetation in the wetland. Since the
piezometers already exist and since FOR staff will be in the vicinity for the water quality
monitoring and vegetation analysis,this optional task has a minimal cost.
Task 1. Water Quality Monitoring
Water quality sampling will be performed according to the protocol used in past monitoring
years, as outlined in the request for proposals. This consistency of field protocol will minimize
the interannual sampling variability and allow for comparisons of the data with other years.
Bog Y will be sampled for water quality during either the last week of October or the first week
of November in both 2006 and 2007. There are 11 monitoring sites. Permanent well points were
installed during the 2004/2005 round of sampling; the GPS coordinates of these sites will be
provided by the City of Eden Prairie to facilitate locating the sites with GPS equipment.
Bear ap th Bog Monitoring Survey Proposal 1
Emmons and Olivier Resources,Inc.
There are three types of samples. The surface sampling and under-mat sampling will occur at
the three sites in the interior of the bog. The perimeter sampling will occur at the eight sites
around the edges of the bog.
• Surface sampling (3)— Samples will be collected within the upper 1.5 feet of the surface
of the bog, above the sphagnum mat.
• Under mat sampling(3)—Samples will be collected underneath the sphagnum mat, above
the soil-sediment interface. Effort will be made to locate the bog mat pit dug during
previous sampling events to minimize the need to cut a new pit. Before taking the water
sample, at least 2 gallons of subsurface water will first be purged and the holes will be
allowed to equilibrate.
• Perimeter sampling (8) — Samples will be collected at the surface of the bog, along the
bog's outer edges.
Three categories of information will be collected at each sampling point: site description, field
analysis, and lab analysis.
1 a. Site description
The following information on each sampling site will be noted:
• Date and time of sampling
• Water depth of sample
• Number of samples taken
• GPS location(Trimble R8 GPS,horizontal and vertical accuracy within 0.1 ft.)
• List of dominant plant species
Photographs will also be taken at each sampling point.
Surface water elevation will be recorded on each sampling date from the staff gauge installed in
Bog Y.
lb. Water sampling for field analysis
The following field parameters will be taken at each sampling point,with the equipment listed:
• pH—YSI pHI O
• Specific conductance—YSI 85
• Dissolved oxygen—YSI 85
• Temperature—YSI 85
1 c. Water sampling for lab analysis
At each of these 14 sample points, water samples will be collected for lab analysis. Instrumental
Research, Inc. (IRI) will perform the following analyses on each sample. The suggested
methods to be used are comparable to the requested methods, and IRI is state-certified in all of
the methods listed. IRI performs all of their analyses manually, as opposed to with automated
equipment, which ensures better quality control since each sample receives individual attention
by a person. IRI provided lab services for the 2004-2005 sampling events.

• Electronic copies of photographs taken at each sampling location and date
Expectations from citytaff.
• An intern from the City of Eden Prairie will be present during all monitoring events to
assist FOR staff while monitoring Bog Y.
Schedule: Water quality will occur during either the last week of October or the first week of
November in both 2006 and 2007.
Task 2.Vegetation Survey
For all portions of the vegetation survey, vegetation will be identified to species level. Where a
species-level identification is not possible, voucher specimens will collected and pressed, dried,
and labeled, and provided with the summary and final report.
2a. Vegetation Analysis: Transect Sampling and Quantitative Vegetation and Diversity Analysis
Line-intercept methods will be used as before to quantitatively evaluate the vegetation of Bog Y.
A total of five transects will be sampled at the permanently staked locations within the bog.
Field work will be performed in early July to document percent cover of species in each
vegetative layer along the fixed transects and points. Photo documentation will be provided of
each strata (surficial, herbaceous, and tree/shrub) and square meter plots. Data will be entered
Bearpath Bog Monitoring Survey Proposal 3
Emmons and Olivier Resources,Inc.
into the existing database and diversity will be calculated and expressed on a whole plot basis
and then normalized to 100%cover.
Bog Y Structure Analysis: The condition and size of the peat mat is significant as to whether in
the long-term the wetland is a bog or whether it transitions to rich fen, wet meadow, or some
other wetland. We propose to map the moat, lagg zone, and interior mat using the data collected
in 2006-2007. This task will provide a structural model of the proportion of the three
characteristic zones of a raised bog, adding to the many years of monitoring data that are
available on the vegetation composition and water quality.
Since 2001, FOR has inventoried natural resources in several watersheds north and east of St.
Paul. The results show a number of groundwater-dependent wetlands, rich fen, poor fen, bog, in
a variety of land use settings. Recent work has focused on land use effects in one very urban and
one rural location as shown in these maps of areas in western Ramsey County (Area 1) and
northern Washington County(Area 2).

These locally rare wetlands have been examined for their similarities and differences, leading to
the development of the following model to explain the differences between the fen and bog sites.
In the following model the moat and its water quality is related to what is known as the lagg
vegetation zone'. Our observations for the urban sites is that peat mat size and condition is a
good indicator to predict long-term trends in whether the wetland will be a bog, a fen, or some
other wetland type.
The Bearpath bogs fit the right side of the above illustration. The structural analysis will
determine if the vegetation is continuing as a bog or if it is in transition to a fen community
(illustrated on the left side of the above illustration) or to another wetland community due to
changes in groundwater discharge or surface water inflow.
'Active raised bogs are peat-forming ecosystems that have developed during thousands of years of peat
accumulation, to such an extent that the depth of peat isolates them from the influence of groundwater.
Typically,lowland raised bogs form a raised dome of peat irrigated solely by rainfall.
Classical descriptions of the ecosystem show raised bogs as having a discrete lens-shaped dome of peat
with flat or imperceptibly sloping topography with a halo of fen vegetation in the zone where water
draining the bog meets that from adjoining mineral soils.This is known as the lagg.A characteristic of the
lagg zone is that normally it has more available plant nutrients, is more alkaline and hence shows greater
species diversity,with a preponderance of sedge Carex spp.
Bearpath Bog Monitoring Survey Proposal S
Emmons and Olivier Resources,Inc.
2b. Meander Vegetation Analysis and Qualitative Botanical List
Following methods from prior years, a meander survey will be performed in late August or early
September. All species encountered will be checked for presence/absence against the existing
database. Species not encountered in prior surveys will be added to the list, although this is not
expected to occur.
Time-species record: During the meander surveys, a time-species record will be kept. The
results will be plotted as a species-time plot. Such plots are a routine method for rare species
surveys in order to assign probability of missing a rare species. This will serve as a good
baseline for future surveyors to use. For example, it can be used to assess the length of meander
survey time expected to encounter 75%of the species present.
Bog Y Invasive Species Map: The most recent monitoring mapped the general location of
purple loosestrife and glossy buckthorn as invasive species. For 2006-2007, FOR will augment
the existing map with GPS-surveyed areas of both species in the interior mat. This will allow
comparison of sites and an assessment of an increase or decrease in size and number of sites.
Sites will be numbered so that field notes describing the extent of beetle control of purple
loosestrife can be related to specific field sites.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• CD with MS Excel database for Bearpath Bogs Vegetation — updated with 2006-2007
data on Bog Y

Task 3.Bog Monitoring Report
3a. Summary Report—2006
All monitoring data and data summaries from the 2006 monitoring season will be provided in the
summary report. The draft summary report will be completed by February 1, 2007. City staff
will have two weeks to review the draft summary report, and the final summary report will be
submitted by March 1,2007.
For the water quality data summary, simple statistics such as mean, sample number, and standard
deviation for each sample type will be used to describe the 2006 monitoring data collected for
this project. Any proposed changes to the monitoring plan for 2007 will be suggested here.
Plant diversity will be calculated and expressed on a whole plot basis and then normalized to
100% cover. Time-species plots will be presented as part of the meander survey results,
providing more detailed information than in past years regarding the percentage of species
encountered relative to the total number of species present. The structure analysis and invasive
species map will also be included.
3b. Final Report—2007
All monitoring data and data summaries from both the 2006 and 2007 monitoring seasons will be
provided in the final report. The draft report will be completed by February 1, 2008. City staff
will have two weeks to review the draft report, and the final report will be submitted by March 1,
2008.
For the water quality data summary, simple statistics such as mean, sample number, and standard
deviation for each sample type will be used to describe the two years of monitoring data
collected for this project. Any proposed changes to future monitoring plans will be suggested
here.
Values from the three types of sampling locations (surface, sub-surface, and perimeter) will be
compared to one another. Values from the 2006 and 2007 monitoring seasons will be compared
to monitoring data from prior years. In addition to providing the raw monitoring data in a table,
the data summaries will be presented as a combination of figures and summary tables to facilitate
the comparison of values both within years and among years.
Plant diversity will be calculated and expressed on a whole plot basis and then normalized to
100% cover. Time-species plots will be presented as part of the meander survey results,
providing more detailed information than in past years regarding the percentage of species
encountered relative to the total number of species present. The structure analysis and invasive
species map will also be included. Data from the 2006 and 2007 monitoring seasons will be
compared to historical information. Statistical analysis will include frequency and correlation
analysis among sampling events. The Shannon diversity index, which accounts for both
abundance and evenness of the species present, will be used to describe the diversity of the
vegetation in Bog Y.

Task 3 Deliverables:
• 2006 Summary Report, draft and final. Six bound hard copies and one electronic copy of
the final summary report will be provided.
2007 Final Report, draft and final
Expectations from city staff:
• Review and comments on draft reports
Schedule:
• Draft 2006 summary report: February 1, 2007
• Final 2006 summary report: March 1, 2007
• Draft 2007 final report: February 1,2008
• Final 2007 final report: March 1, 2008
Optional Task. Groundwater Monitoring
Groundwater has a substantial influence on the hydrology of Bog Y. Changes to the
groundwater will affect the hydrology,water chemistry, and vegetation in the wetland.
T.H. 212 and other construction in the area will likely change the groundwater elevations and
flow patterns. The road surface and grading will alter existing groundwater recharge areas.
Drains constructed below the road will lower the water table to prevent flooding and road
maintenance problems. Figure 1 shows preliminary plans for T.H. 212 in the area of Dell Road.
Areas in pink show wetland impacts and areas in red show where subsurface drains would
intersect the water table. Note that this is a preliminary plan that has changed more than once
during the design process and is subject to further change before construction.
Mn/DOT hired FOR to investigate potential impacts to nearby wetlands caused by T.H. 212.
FOR installed piezometers and measured water levels. Groundwater conditions in 2004 are
shown on Figure 2. A groundwater model of the area was constructed to predict changes in
water levels. Results of the modeling are shown on Figure 3. The results indicate very little
drawdown in the area of Bog Y (Cranberry Bog), but that could change with changes in roadway
design and natural changes in groundwater flow.
The objectives of this task will be to measure groundwater elevations in existing piezometers and
to identify changes in groundwater flow and wetland hydrology over time.
FOR will perform the following tasks:
• Measure groundwater elevations in nearby piezometers MW-Cran, P-113-1, and P-113-
Ia. Measurements will be taken during vegetation monitoring trips.
• Obtain other available groundwater monitoring data from Mn/DOT or other agencies
collecting data from area wells.
• Analyze trends in the groundwater data. Prepare a report with data and conclusions.
Deliverables:
• Groundwater monitoring report included with other vegetation monitoring results.

units, and identified sites of critical concern and/or high restoration potential. Proposed an
ecosystem-based stewardship plan.
Wetland Hydrologic Modeling,Mn/DOT.
The impacts of the proposed TH 212 roadway design on wetland hydrology were evaluated using
XP-SWMM. The changes in watershed drainage patterns due to grading were evaluated and the
impacts to different wetland types quantified. FOR worked with Mn/DOT, the cities of Chaska
and Chanhassen, area businesses, and local landowners to identify potential mitigation sites.
After working with these various entities to find acceptable mitigation locations, FOR developed
preliminary mitigation plans to meet all permitting requirements.
Targeting wetland mitigation sites to landscape linkages and conservation areas, Mn/DOT.
The T.H. 212 wetland permit was developed using wetland mitigation areas targeted to greenway
corridors and conservation sites in several affected watersheds. The mitigation objective was to
replace wetland wildlife habitat functions. Using existing GIS layers including land use,
wetlands, soils, parcels, and aerial photography, and coupled with field evaluation, over 200
acres encompassing 15-20 sites were identified. One of these opportunities would expand the
regionally significant area that includes the Seminary Fen in Carver County. These sites are
being used for project-specific mitigation requirements as well as potential areas for future
wetland banking.
O'Conner Creek Hydrologic Modeling
An XP-SWMM model was developed to help guide the Lower St. Croix Watershed Management
Organization in its decision-making process for the O'Conner Creek watershed. A survey of all
culverts and structures was performed, as was a Rosgen assessment of stream geomorphology.
The field assessment and results of the hydraulic modeling will be used to identify areas prone to
erosion and bank failure and to determine flood elevations at key crossings to help guide
potential culvert upgrade decisions. One of the modeling scenarios is a year 2020 build-out
scenario where future hydrologic conditions are estimated for long-range planning purposes.
WATER QUALITY
Pelican Lake Outlet Feasibility Study,Ducks Unlimited,Inc.
As one task in this comprehensive study, FOR
completed in-lake water quality sampling throughout Syr dui
the growing season, fall, and winter months. These
data were used to analyze the current water quality

and other data to create GIS database. Multiple end-uses include hydrologic
modeling, wetland permitting, comprehensive wetland planning, macrosite
planning, TMDL biotic studies, city and county natural resource planning.
Approximate project area is 200 square miles.
■ Cattail Removal from Shallow Lake and Marsh Ecosystems. Rice Creek Watershed
District. Incorporating research of Professor Milton Weller, recommendations were
developed for ice-over it r n from the 220-acre Rice Lake State Wildlife
op ocattail eradication
Management Area. This would be consistent with water level manipulation to
restore shallow marsh and wet meadow fringe communities to this aquatic/wetland
complex.
■ Wet Meadow Vegetation Management Through Reed Canary Grass Control.
Carnelian Marine Watershed District. Multiple burn-herbicide treatment cycles are
prescribed to reduce the competitive advantage of reed canary grass over native wet
meadow vegetation. The results are being used for a 10-year management plan.The
treatment is in a wet meadow slough targeted in the Silver Creek Corridor
Management Plan and within two miles of the creek entering National Park Service
land and the St.Croix River.
■ Vegetation Selection Guidelines for Statewide Storm water Best Management
Practices. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A report was prepared for inclusion
in the 2005 Minnesota Storm water Manual. Included were discussion and
recommendations for extensive and intensive green roof systems, salt-tolerance, and
plant selection resources for wet and dry vegetated swales, infiltration trenches and
basins, rain gardens, and green roofs. This was a general guidance report for
statewide reference.
■ Vegetation Selection and Maintenance Pre-Design for Volume Control Best
Management Practices. City of Inver Grove Heights, MN. A report was prepared
for inclusion in the 2006 City Storm water Manual for the Northwest Area Quadrant.
The recommendations are more detailed than a guidance manual and less detailed
than final design. Emphasis is placed first on the critical and interdependent role of
filter systems (buffer strips and pre-treatment cells) and the biofiltering component
of the BMPs known as rain gardens, wet and dry swales, infiltration trenches, and
infiltration basins; and second on public works practices of frequent monitoring and
maintenance of plant vigor.
■ TH 212 Wetland Mitigation Design and Permitting. MNDOT. Primary project role
was identifying wetland mitigation sites in the immediate watersheds and
developing final design for state and federal wetland permitting for state trunk
highway 212 from Eden Prairie to Chaska. Over 200 acres of wetland in the project
area were part of a restoration plan for wetland impacts. Work included one
intermediate level wetland delineation, conducting agency field reviews, permit-
ready design of seven mitigation areas within the right of way, and design review of
several offsite mitigation areas involving ditched flow-through wetland restoration.
All mitigation was successfully accomplished through sites in the right of way and
in adjacent watersheds through partnership arrangements with the local
communities. An excess of mitigation areas was identified for potential future
banking by the district.

Under subcontract to Simonet Design, ecological principles were incorporated into a
native landscape design for northern hardwood forest region. With a National Forest
Service permit northern hardwood forest plant mats were lifted and transplanted to the
new Museum forest wildflower garden.
■ Natural Community Survey. City of Eden Prairie, MN. Element Occurrence ranking
methods used and predominantly maple-basswood and bluff prairie community
types were ranked. Nine locations for study were determined by the Parks
Committee with an emphasis on critical areas for protection from development.Sites
were described in terms of ecological characteristics, need for management, and
tools for protection and then ranked in priority for acquisition. End product was
used for park acquisition to protect natural communities.
■ Natural Community Survey. City of Plymouth, MN. Developed screening tool to
establish field survey priorities based upon aggregations of natural communities
greater than 40 acres, except in some cases where an isolated forest tract was of local
value. The significant units were maple-basswood forest and wetland community
types. Mapping units varied from five to 100 acres. Sites were described in terms of
ecological characteristics, need for management, and tools for protection and then
ranked in priority for acquisition. End product is used by city forester and parks
manager.

VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. VARIANCE#2006-03 by Steven and Judith Drkstra. Request to:
Permit a side yard setback variance of 8 feet for an addition. Location of the
property is 15603 Summit Drive.
Matt Prettyman, representing Von Companies,presented the proposal. Mr.
Prettyman stated that the main reason for this addition would be to have Mrs.
Drkstra utilize more of the main floor in their home. He stated that she has some
medical issues with her knee that would constitute a hardship. Mr.Prettyman
pointed out that this proposal would encroach 100 feet into the side yard setback
or 12 percent of the total addition.
Stoelting asked Mr. Prettyman to explain the unique circumstances of the property
that would warrant a hardship to the owner. Mr.Prettyman stated that the unique
issues of this lot would be its shape. He pointed out that the home is located at
such an angle that there is little room for movement.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen stated that there are
additional reasons that are not included in the staff report to approve this project.
The first would be that the size of encroachment is only 100 feet out of 817 feet.
The second reason would be that the existing house is an older, under sized house
and that this addition would make it a normal size house; it would also enhance
the outer appearance and would be a betterment for the neighborhood. Franzen
also stated that there is no other way to get more feet on the first floor without this
addition.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no public input.
Stoelting asked Mr. Prettyman if the neighbors have been contacted and if so, are
they in favor of this proposal. Mr. Prettyman stated that the owners did contact
the neighbors in excess of 500 feet away and they were in approval of this project.
Kirk asked if the neighbor at 15601 Summit Drive was in favor of the variance.
Mr. Dykstra stated that he did speak with this neighbor and he is in favor of this
variance.
Duckstad asked Franzen if Staff was in favor of this project. Franzen stated that
Staff was in favor of this project.

212 and this would be the headquarters for C.H.Robinson. He said that C.H.
Robinson also intends on acquiring additional land for future growth which would
constitute an additional 400,000 square feet of office space. There would also be
9,000 square feet of retail space. Mr.Katter stated that he understands that Staff
sees a need for higher retail space and that they are willing to work with the City
to come up with this additional space.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen stated that the Staff
and City have looked at Eden Bluff Business Park numerous times over the years
and it is the consensus that this change is a good move before the residents move
into the west of the project. Franzen also pointed out that in the staff report it
points out that the City would like to see more commercial area to this project
without taking parking away from C.H. Robinson. He stated that the graph shows
where the additional lots could be located. Franzen stated that the Commission
could direct developer to revise the plan to increase commercial space by 2000
square feet. Franzen stated that Staff recommends approval based on the
recommendations on page 4 and 5 of the staff report.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no public input.
Pitzrick asked, in regards to the commercial area, if there was a gas station would
there be enough area for circulation and could it accommodate another restaurant
in this area in regards to parking. Mr. Katter stated that he would have to work
with the City in regards to this matter.
Stoelting asked Franzen if the height of the office building would interfere with
the airport. Franzen stated that it would not interfere with the airport. Franzen
also commented on the gas parking stating that the City would give credit for
parking as to where the pumps are located.

Performance Payment
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the annual performance review of City Manager Scott Neal and to authorize,
pursuant to the terms of Section 3 of his employment agreement with the City,a performance payment
equal to 3.5 percent of his current annual base salary.
Synopsis
The City Council is scheduled to conduct the City Manager's annual performance review in closed

is under Councilmember reports to bring complete closure to the annual performance review
process. If the Council should decide not to proceed with this action, it can postpone or cancel it.
If the performance payment is approved, it will be disbursed on the June 16 payroll date.
CITY COUNCIL,AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Report of the Parks and Recreation Director June 6,2006
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.: XIV.D.1.
Robert A. Lambert, Director Community Center Parking Lot and Ball
Parks and Recreation lk-L- Field Renovation
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY THE PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION AT THEIR JUNE 5'MEETING
Requested Action
Move to: Recommend the City Council authorize staff to"further develop Scheme D for the
renovation of the parking lot to serve the Community Center and the relocation of the
baseball field.
Synopsis
The estimated cost for Scheme D is $1,142,657 for the parking lot, and$1,445,000 for the ballfield
and$115,794 for the pond. The pond costs will be reimbursed by Watershed District;therefore,the
costs to be funded by the City include the ballfield and parking lot at an estimated cost of
$2,588,000.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission believed that this plan provided the best
circulation and parking scheme and requested the City staff to work on this basic layout, but to
consider options to reduce the costs for this layout as much as possible. Staff believe that there are
some ways to reconfigure that basic layout that might be able to reduce the costs somewhat. If the
City Council concurs with this recommendation, the Parks and Recreation staff will work on the
basic configuration.

The Commission recommended$1,000,000 from the park fund balance projected over the next four
years, plus possibly delaying the cost of Cedar Hills Neighborhood Park, if that is necessary to
provide the funds for this project that is needed now.
Del Erickson, architect for the project,will take the Council through the existing project and the
proposed cuts that were provided to the Commission at the June 5 commission meeting.
City staff supports the recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Report of the Parks and Recreation Director June 6, 2006
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.: XIV.D.3.
Robert A. Lambert, Director
Parks and Recreations Community Center Third Rink
Requested Action
Move to: Recommend approval of the concept design for a third rink addition subject to the
Hockey Association providing$1,000,000 toward this project, and the City fund the
additional estimated$300,000 out of general fund reserves.
Synopsis
Earlier this year the City Council committed to match up to $1,000,000 toward a third rink provided
the Hockey Association was able to write a check for that amount on the date the bids are open for
this project in February of 2007. The estimated cost for an enclosed rink with brick and concrete
masonry bearing walls was estimated at $3,110,000. The estimated cost for that facility has increase
to $3,323,000,based on the additional information from mechanical and electrical contractors and
the increase cost of steel and masonry as projected by contractors at this time. Staff estimated that
the City could pay off$1.1 million of bonds over twenty years and if the Hockey Association raised
$1 million,the City would match $1 million funding the$3.1 million project.
At their June 5, 2006 meeting, the Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission reviewed
the cost estimates for the third rink and expressed concern over funding more than $1,000,000 for
this project out of the park fund, considering the other demands on that fund at this time.
City staff would assume that the City would have to budget approximately an additional $300,000 to
match the difference if in fact the project does cost,the estimated $3.4 million. Some of this could
be made up with an increase in rental rates as there are several rinks in the metro area that are
charging $5 to $10 an hour more than the City of Eden Prairie is at this time.

Parks and Recreation Wading Pool Feasibility Study
Recommendation
Requested Action
Move to: Move to table any decision on the wading pool indefinitely.
Synopsis
At the June 5 meet
ing, the Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended the
City Council thank U.S. Aquatics for the feasibility study, but the Commission questioned the
projected revenue of the study, as there are no other similar wading pools that are not connected to a
larger outdoor pool for comparing projected use.
The Commission further questioned the need for the pool at this time due to the proposed reopening
of Round Lake Beach and suggested the Council wait until the City can monitor the use of the beach
and determine if residents are still interested in developing a wading pool at the Community Center.
The Commission recommended tabling any action on this report at this time.
